  • The hosts

    The two male hosts are the problem with this podcast. They seem like they aren’t even listening to the guests, asking the same questions over and over. 🙄🙄

  • Unlistenable

    I’d like to know the fine details of the Trenny Gibson disappearance. Unfortunately, I never will because the interviewee, Laura Riste, has such an unbelievably boring voice that it renders everything she says unlistenable. She’s like that bore who corners you at a party and three hours later you’re still desperately trying to get away.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

709 // The Murders of Rhonda & Donnie Wicht w/ Shelley Hamilton and Alicia Doyle
Q: Alicia, how did you approach organizing decades of information to craft a coherent narrative?
Alicia explains relying on extensive saved materials, journal entries, and careful sourcing to build a linear, fact-based account that allows readers to draw their own conclusions while preserving the emotional truth of the family's experience.
709 // The Murders of Rhonda & Donnie Wicht w/ Shelley Hamilton and Alicia Doyle
Q: Can you give us a sense of growing up in the area and what it was like before this happened?
Shelley describes a close-knit, open community with a strong family focus and a lifestyle centered around family, music, and a small-town dynamic, which makes the subsequent tragedy feel even more jarring.
708 // The Unsolved Murder of Susan "Su" Taraskiewicz
Q: What role did the credit-card fraud operation play in the case, if any?
The operation involved many airport workers and a widespread scheme that potentially provided motive and means for silencing Taraskiewicz, though direct evidence linking her to the fraud remains unproven in public records.
708 // The Unsolved Murder of Susan "Su" Taraskiewicz
Q: What are the details around the night she disappeared and what happened to her car?
Taraskiewicz left the airport late at night to get food for the crew, parked near the mail house, and never returned; her car was found at a nearby auto shop with troubling forensic and witness inconsistencies that complicate the investigation.
708 // The Unsolved Murder of Susan "Su" Taraskiewicz
Q: Can you tell us what Taraskiewicz was like and what her work life at the airport was like?
She was a highly driven, goal-oriented woman who broke barriers as the first female supervisor on the ramp at Northwest Airlines and faced significant harassment, which underscores the dangerous environment surrounding her disappearance.
