187. The Las Cruces Bowling Alley Massacre

On February 10th, 1990 two gunmen would enter the Las Cruces Bowling Alley, seemingly with the express goal of robbing the bowling alley. However, in the roughly twenty minutes that they were inside of the building they would steal $4000-$5000 and they would attempt to take the lives of the seven people that were inside the bowling alley preparing for open. Four people would lose their lives on that day at the hands of the two men and one would lose her life due to complications nine years later. This case is still unsolved and there are certainly people out there that know who was behind this crime.

186. Giulia Tofana and Aqua Tofana

Giulia Tofana was an enigma and in point of fact many contend that she never even existed and that her story is one of lore and folk tales that kept growing more and more elaborate over time.  Let;s imagine that the woman, who there is no discernible proof that she ever lived, was everything that we have been told that she was.  Giulia then was one of the most prolific killers of all time having reportedly been responsible, by way of her Aqua Tofana, for over six hundred deaths.

182. The Murder of Elizabeth Struhs

The Saints are a religious sect, or cult, based in Australia that was made up of a very exclusive group of people from three families.  One of those families was the Struhs family.  At the time that this case took place, four of the five members of the Struhs family were considered "part" of The Saints.  Parents, Jason and Kerrie Struhs and two of their children, Zachary Struhs and Elizabeth Struhs.One of the core beliefs of The Saints was that medicine and life-saving sciences are of the devil and not to be trusted  or used by any of the members.The problem was, Elizabeth Struhs was a type-1 diabetic who was insulent reliant.  Her family, and the people around them would take the steps of removing Elizabeth from that life-saving medication and the results were certainly not what The Saints expected although they are still steadfast in their belief that God will raise Elizabeth Struhs from the dead.

181. The Life and Crimes of H.H. Holmes

"I was born with the devil in me.  I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing." - H.H. HolmesH.H. Holmes is one of the more widely known serial killers in American history.  When he is thought of people often think first of The Murder Castle but the truth truly is much different than the stories that have been conflated over the years.  Bailey and I hypothesize on this episode if he should be more remembered as a psychological and intelligent grifter who also murdered, rather than a tortuous serial killer.

On Wednesday October 4th, 1978 a young man was laying wire for a telephone company in Lyon County, Iowa when he thought he saw a mannequin lying in amongst the weeds along Highway 182.  As he approached he quickly realized that it was actually human remains.  Those human remains belonged to a woman who would remain only known as Jane Doe for 26 1/2 years until a fingerprint finally told investigators that those remains had belonged to Wilma June Nissen, a woman who had previously been arrested for being a street-worker in California.Now, 47 years after her murder what happened and who was behind the murder are still a mystery but Wilma's biological daughter Krissi Atkisson is still looking for and hoping for answers so that she can allow her mom to rest in peace and hopefully see some kind of justice come to those who are guilty of her murder.
