True Crime BnB

Welcome to the True Crime BnB! I'm Beth, your host, and I started this podcast with my daughter Bailey, creating a format where one of us would tell a rough story about a case, and the other would end every episode with an inspiring story focused on strength and survival. We wanted to remember victims, and celebrate survivors.
Now that I'm solo, some episodes are collaborations with podcaster friends who bring a case to share, and we continue the 'downer' and 'upper' format that Bailey and I created. Sometimes I release what I call Just One B episodes, where it's just me, telling true crime case stories that you've never heard before. I focus on cases that didn't get much publicity, because those people still deserve to be remembered.
I will never glamourize the criminals. This place is for the victims and the survivors. This is the True Crime BnB.

What is True Crime BnB about?
True Crime isn't for everyone, and even those of us who are interested in the stories of what happened to people sometimes feel a little crime-overload. It is important to know what people experienced. It helps us to see victims of crime as real people to hear what they were like, what they enjoyed, and how these awful things came to happen to them. So we look for cases that didn't make headlines for six months and weren't so famous that everyone has already heard those narratives. If you've heard a case on three podcasts already, you're unlikely to hear it at True Crime BnB. There are so many people who have been hurt or victimized by others, we don't all need to keep recovering the same twenty over and over. So we have two goals with every episode. First, we want to humanize a victim who might otherwise have been lost to time. We want you to hear their names and know their stories. Second, every episode (except solo Just One B episodes) have a second story, and that one will always have a positive aspect--a survivor who went on to help others, in the cases of some of the earliest episodes, a perpetrator who got what they deserved, in the sense of street justice. You will get to the end of our episodes knowing the terrible things that happened to real people, but we promise never to glamourize or sensationalize these crimes. The people who experienced these things were no different from you or me, and we never forget their humanity in the telling of their stories. So please give us a listen, because we think you'll get something out of what we do. But please--never start at the first episodes. We've grown so much in our time here! Welcome, friends, to the True Crime BnB.

Well, hello and welcome back to the True Crime BnB, where we are always 100% pet friendly....even when half of our bloopers consist of Bailey devising ways to murder the screaming demon. This episode had some operator error issues, and Beth had to record half of her story twice--so when we refer to 'the FIRST time we recorded this,' that's what we're talking about.
In fact, Beth is the bad guy this week and brings the enraging story of two vibrant, amazing young women who went out for a party in Los Angeles last year and never made it home. But it's not the usual story of being snatched off the street. These women, Christy Giles and Hilda Marcela Cabroles-Arzola, went to an after-party where the host had disgraceful and heinous plans, along with a history of doing the same to other women over the years.
Bailey tells us about Lauren Huxley, an Australian woman who was caught up in absolute horror and barely survived it. But her strength, spirit, and determination to get her life back will lift your spirits!
So this one wore us out, and we imagine it will you, too. Grab a fluffy pillow to hug, pick your favorite bean-bag chair, and we'll tell you about three women who had big plans for their lives, and the monsters who interrupted them.
Thank you for stopping by!

Episode 36; Sandra Johnsen-Hughes and Verna Sue White
True Crime BnB
09/23/22 • 30 min
Welcome back to week 36 at the True Crime BnB, Crime Family!
This week Bailey walks us through the perplexing disappearance of Sandra Johnsen-Hughes in California. Having spent her life as an avid solo-explorer, the circumstances of her last known whereabouts and mysterious disappearance in a National Park leave countless questions unanswered.
Beth brings an amazing story of survival against all the odds. Verna Sue White had no chance against the masked man who viciously attacked her in her home, but once he had threatened her daughter, Verna Sue was never going to let him prevail. And that was the turning point, sealing his fate.
And on top of all that, we have an amusing anecdote about old-timey pirates!
So as always, we love you and thank you for stopping back at the ol' True Crime BnB, and we are ready to share this week's stories with you. The snacks are out, the beverages are ready, and it's time to kick off your shoes and take in a few minutes of true crime, on us.
Meow.

True Crime BnB
09/20/22 • 19 min
So, we're back for another bonus episode, and we're thrilled that you've chosen to join us again today! Welcome!
This Just One B has Bailey running the show, with the unsolved murder of Kimberly Sue Morse. This vibrant, sunny young woman had the world as her oyster, and she was living her best life and setting up her plans for the future, until someone brutally took her life, with no answers, and no suspects.
Just have a seat, take in the story, and if you have relatives in the New England area, maybe add your DNA into the database to help find an answer using genetic genealogy. It's time to clear up all these unsolved cases that have DNA evidence with no matches!
Thank you for stopping in, we're glad you're here, and we will be back again on Friday on the regular schedule with Episode 36!

Episode 35; Carol Jenkins-Davis and Friedericke Fechner
True Crime BnB
09/16/22 • 33 min
Welcome to all of our new subscribers and listeners, and we thank our whole Crime Family for being here again! Week 35's stories have made our blood boil, and then made us hopeful in remembering there are some really amazing people in the world.
We'll just warn you: Bailey's story had us so angry that there is more than our normal swearing in this episode. But if you hear the story of the disgraceful and barbaric murder of Carol Jenkins-Davis, along with the aftermath and shameful treatment by the 'Sundown Town' of Martinsville, Indiana, and you're not angry...something's wrong.
Beth has the second story this week, with cellist Friedericke Fechner, who bought a dilapidated old house to renovate and preserve, and through its history, helped reunite a family whose scattered members didn't think they had any other living relatives.
So, it's a bit of rough one, but we know you're tough enough to get through it with us. We're sorry there are no Puss interruptions in the bloopers this week, I think she knew our nerves were shot after that first story.
And now, we need a glass of wine. Care to join us? No worries, I mean, it's a BnB. You can crash here until you're good to drive.

Episode 38; Lee Rotatori and Laura Jastre
True Crime BnB
10/07/22 • 32 min
Week 38, and here we are back at the BnB with stories to tell!
Bailey is in front with the case of Lee Rotatori, who was a dietitian about to embark on a new and exciting new chapter in her life. But, as in most of our stories, she never got the chance to enjoy it, because she was cut down in the prime of her life. And even though her killer was finally identified through familial DNA, that answered one question and raised a couple of new ones. This one is mysterious.
Beth brings the positive ending, but first you'd better be ready to get dragged through some thorns, because this story is a rough one. Laura Jastre and her friends were living dangerously deep in drug culture, but an unprovoked attack that killed two of her friends ended up being the jolt that Laura needed to take her own life back and try to help others do the same.
We had all kinds of tech excitement with this episode, but none of it was more distressing than Beth's alternating verb tenses in her story! Apologies to her former English teachers--she DOES know better than that!
Everyone, we appreciate your being here again this week, and as always we thank you for taking the time to listen. If you don't mind, please lock the front door before you sit down, and we'll tell you what we learned about these two cases and the people involved.
Welcome, Crime Family! Welcome. But really--please don't email Puss. (She can't read.)

Episode 39; Kim Wall and Stacey Lyn Chahorski
True Crime BnB
10/14/22 • 33 min
Hey, all you Crime Family members, welcome back to the BnB this week! As promised, we are bringing you a regular episode today and Bailey is in her usual spot out front under the big oak tree.
The first story, from Bailey, is the maddeningly stupid murderer who lured Kim Wall to her death when she was trying to interview him for an article she wanted to write. From the minute the two of them were alone together, it was 100% certain that his deranged plan would not go undetected, so why did he kill her? See? Maddening.
Beth follows up with a story that isn't a happy ending, but it's a positive for forensic science. This is the case of the sexual assault and murder of Stacey Lyn Chahorski from Michigan, who was found in Georgia in 1988. And if you believe in karma, then this does have a fitting ending.
And an update on the California Statutes of Limitations that we discussed in Episode 37, thanks to my friend from college, Don XXXXX.
Go on now, head out to the story circle in the shade, and we'll be right out with spiked lemonade. Careful not to get cat hair on your pants.
Thank you for stopping by, we are always glad you're here!

Hello, welcome back to the BnB! Do you feel it? Spring is in the air!! Or maybe we are just thinking of camping because this episode seems to be RV-centered.
Beth starts with the story of the completely inexplicable murders of Cecil and Ruth Bybee, who were seasoned travelers. But the one time they broke their routine, they crossed paths with a man who was having some kind of cold feet, marriage-avoidance crisis. Seriously--this story is so unexplainable that it begs theorization.
Then Bailey has a home invasion case where the family did not want to be identified, but you will still feel like you know them. This family in Penhold, Alberta, Canada had three encounters with a seemingly-confused home invader within two days--and lived to tell the tale. They are still healing, but they did what they needed to, to survive.
At the beginning of this episode, you heard the trailer of Live, Laugh, Murder. Carmen and Joanna are not only creating a fantastic and entertaining podcast that is 'true crime, sometimes,' but they are genuinely sweet and adorable women that we just love, and we know you will, too. Please check them out and subscribe. You won't be disappointed!!
Crime family, this episode is SOMETHIN' ELSE, so pick a comfy chair, grab a glass of your favorite spirits, and let's talk about true crime. As ever, we love you and thank you for listening.

This week for Episode 56, we are taking you on vacation!
Just to clarify, the first half of this first episode of Pod Year Two is the story of an island paradise that was tainted by modern crime. Beth is bringing you the story of Italian tourists Dahlia Saiani and Giorgia Busato, who were regular visitors to the Island of Sol in the Cabo Verde archipelago. These two women, along with a 17 year old guest, were visiting the island in 2007 when the two adults were brutally murdered by an ex romantic partner. Had it not been for the survival of teenager Agnese Pace, it's likely that the murders might have never been solved.
And Bailey shares the amazing and unlikely survival of Kansas single mom and graphic designer Marti Hill. Marti was attacked and left for dead in her own basement, after her attacker decided she would be easy to kill and then wouldn't be discovered for days. But he was wrong. Marti's website MartiHill.com, where you can also find her memoir "Millimeter From Murder", provides resources to help heal the emotional wounds of violence.
At the beginning of this episode, we played the trailer for our friend Patrick, whose Not Adding Up Podcast is always well-researched, well-reasoned, and shines light on cases that aren't as cut and dried as people might want the public to believe. Please check out Not Adding Up, and subscribe, wherever you're listening to us!
It's exciting to be starting our second year of podcasting, and we are thankful to all of you who have listened, shared, usand helped us grow! We are so glad you're here!
Thank you!
Now, let's get comfortable and talk true crime.

BONUS EPISODE 38.5; Just One B; Jupiter Paulsen
True Crime BnB
10/11/22 • 15 min
Hello mid-week, our dear Crime Family. We have arrived on a Tuesday to bring you a bonus episode that will leave a chill in your bones.
Daisy Paulsen, known to everyone as Jupiter, was 14 years old, and doing everything she was supposed to do. But on a summer Friday morning, she happened across the wrong man who brutally attacked her and took her away from her family forever.
There are many variables in this story that will leave you wondering about the mental state of her killer, but what it comes down to is that a beautiful, amazing teenager lost everything just because she crossed paths with the wrong person.
This one is tough, and left us heartbroken. But Jupiter saved a lot of people after her passing, and she deserves to be remembered for the goodness of her heart.
Buckle in, our sweet friends, and take a moment to remember Jupiter Paulsen.

Episode 42: Chad Oulson and Debra Puglisi Sharp
True Crime BnB
11/04/22 • 38 min
Hi again, everybody, welcome back to the BnB, where we'll always leave the light on for the late arrivals, but the doors will be locked. Because...crime, y'all.
This week we have stories of two women who loved their husbands, and were forced to experience their murders.
Bailey will enrage you with the absolutely infuriating murder of Chad Oulson, who was murdered at the movies by an ex-police captain who claimed he was in fear for his life. Why would he feel scared for his life? Uhhh, because Chad threw some popcorn at him after being hassled multiple times. When you hear the sequence of events, entirely instigated by the ex-captain, it is really outrageous that this case turned out the way it did.
Beth then has to try to recover us from the first story, but this one is rough, too. Debra Puglisi Sharp and her husband Nino Puglisi were just living their best lives and looking forward to their 25th wedding anniversary, when a random stranger wandered in off the street and murdered Nino and took Debra captive. But there is even more to this story than the senselessness of the crimes--it's about how Debra ultimately kept her wits, outsmarted her captor, and got herself rescued.
If you would like to visit the Oulson Family Foundation, founded by Chad's wife Nicole after his death with the goal to help children affected by gun violence, you can find it at www.oulsonfamilyfoundation.com
Also, please don't forget to check out Torture Podcast, whose trailer you heard at the beginning of the episode. Kevin and Dan share fascinating information about old-timey and modern-timey tortures, and they're smart and fun to listen to. Give it a chance!
We're glad you're here for this episode, because these victims did not deserve any of what happened to them. So let's get comfortable and get into this week's stories.
Thank you for joining us!
