Andy Hale

In the winter of 1960 three women were found brutally murdered in a cave at the Starved Rock State Park. After months of dead ends, a manhunt ensued that ultimately pinned the crime on a 21-year-old dishwasher at the Starved Rock State Park Lodge, Chester Weger.

  • Mary’s cookin’

    On the latest podcast When Chester and Andy are talking about Mary’s cooking, I can agree wholeheartedly with them. My brothers and sister and I grew up with Mary’s children and I still remember her fried chicken. Best I've ever had.

  • Bias ruins storytelling

    I wish this was told, for the first few episodes at least, with a more objective narrative. I’m 3 episodes in and don’t even fully understand the crime that took place because every factual statement is interrupted with why this means it couldn’t possibly be Chester. I understand everyone has opinions, but even if your opinion is the right one, I wish you allowed the listeners to reach that opinion on their own, without interrupting the story to try to force it on us.

  • New info

    Contains more new info than the book, the HBO doc or any newspaper article. An attempt to be factual and transparent. You must visit the website too.

  • Exceptional in EVERY ASPECT!

    I’ve been an advocate & donor to many innocence organizations for years now & this is another example of a horrible injustice! NO ONE WINS WHEN THEY GET THE WRONG GUY! Even worse, when they KNOW they’ve got the wrong guy! Unfortunately, as I was scrolling through the reviews, I read one that mentioned “this wouldn’t fly these days”.. WRONG! It’s happening less, but does in fact happen more often than we think & can happen to any of us, rich, poor, black, white! Until qualified immunity is a thin... more

  • Boring

    This comes across as a biased defense attorney with his own personal agenda rather than a factual story. Plus this dude’s voice is very grating.
