In November of 1999, Zetta Camille Arfmann was a 14-year-old freshman at Oskaloosa High School in Oskaloosa, Kansas. She had recently moved in with her sister, Heidi Bledsoe, Heidi’s husband, Floyd and the couple’s children Cody and Christian. This move proved good for Camille, as she quickly began to succeed academically, becoming an honor roll student, and found stability with Heidi and Floyd. Shortly after her move, tragedy would strike. On November 5th, 1999, Camille was dropped off at her home by the bus driver wand was seen walking towards her home. That was the last time Camille Arfmann was seen alive. After a frantic search into her disappearance and the discovery of her body days later on a family farm, a small town would be pushed and pulled over allegations that centered around two brothers: Tom and Floyd Bledsoe. It would take 16 years of pain and mystery before the truth finally came to light as to what really happened to Camille. A good old fashioned ‘whodunnit’ case that will have you bewildered and blind-sided at every turn.

Psychopathic Predator (Part 2): The Horrific Crimes of Nathaniel Bar-Jonah
Thursday Jun 20, 2024
Thursday Jun 20, 2024
Nathaniel Benjamin Levi Bar-Jonah, born David Paul Brown, was born in 1957 in Worcester, Massachusetts. Beginning with many troubles in his early life, much of his upbringing remains shrouded in obscurity. What we do know is that it became evident early on in his life that there would be a pattern of violence that spanned a lifetime. With him collecting his first victim, a 5-year-old girl, when he was only 7 years old. Bar-Jonah, despite slipping through the cracks of an imperfect judicial system, was a brutal child predator who was allowed to haunt the American landscape in the latter half of the 20th century. While the full extent of his crimes may never be known, evidence suggests that Bar-Jonah is believed to be responsible for the innumerable crimes against children involving kidnapping, torture, sexual assault and murder. Hang out with us as we finish up this grizzly case to involve gruesome findings in Bar-Jonah's home, a trail and convictions. FINALLY. Don't miss the interview with Forensic Psychologist Dr. Jay Toomey and we explore forensic evaluations and, more specifically, psychopathy. Interview drops Friday 6/21.

Catfished: The Twisted Murder of Cynthia "CeCe" Hoffman
Wednesday Jun 12, 2024
Wednesday Jun 12, 2024
GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes content and discussions around child sexual abuse, sexual assault, sexual offending behaviors, and child pornography. Listener discretion is advised.
On June 2, 2019, Cynthia “Cece” Hoffman told her dad she was going hiking with her best friend Denali Brehmer, and she would see him later. Papa Hoffman wasn’t worried about this outing because CeCe was responsible, always careful, and always did what she was supposed to do. He also knew Cece had her phone and she always followed the family rule: if dad calls, answer immediately. No questions asked. No excuses. At some point on that fateful day, CeCe didn't answer her father's calls, and it would turn out that when she left for her outing that morning, would be the last time Papa Hoffman saw his sweet little girl alive. The details around the murder of Cece Hoffman would expose a dark web of lies, manipulation, exploitation, and murder for hire scheme totaling 9 million dollars. Who is Tyler the Millionaire? Why does the Hoffman family know CeCe's BFF Denali as “Angel”? Can victims also be perpetrators? Bailey and Chelsea will explore the aspects of this case, and as Anchorage Police Chief Michael Kerle would state, “this case is an excellent example of why various law enforcement entities working together through the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force is so vitally important”. This one is a doozy, y'all.

Mafia Manhunt: The Murder of Special Agent Everett E. Hatcher
Wednesday Jun 05, 2024
Wednesday Jun 05, 2024
Special Agent Everett Emerson Hatcher was one badass dude and accomplished a lot in his 46 years. Tragically, Special Agent Hatcher’s dedication to law enforcement ended on February 28, 1989, when he was murdered during an undercover operation on Staten Island. Special Agent Hatcher had been trying to infiltrate a cocaine trafficking ring run by associates of the Bonanno crime family. One such associate, mob figure, Costabile “Gus” Farace, was the prime suspect in the killing of Special Agent Hatcher and became the object of a massive manhunt; a manhunt so intense that it literally created a war amongst New York’s mafia and the feds. The Hatcher case highlights the complexities of undercover operations and the calculated risks taken by law enforcement personnel. It also raises questions about the infiltration of criminal organizations by organized crime itself. Tune in as Chelsea and Bailey explore the life and service of Special Agent Hatcher, the details surrounding his death, and the impact of his sacrifice. Buckle up, y’all because this is one of the wildest cases we’ve covered where we get a real life look into the soft white underbelly of the Mafia and even their collaboration with federal law enforcement agencies to smoke out a psychopathic, roid-raged problem that found himself at the top of America’s Top Ten Most Wanted.

Familicide: The Hope Forest Massacre
Wednesday May 29, 2024
Wednesday May 29, 2024
Clifford Palmer is buried next to his wife of over twenty years. He was known to his family as “Poppy Cliff”. Known to his second family that is. His first family knew him as Clifford Cecil Bartholomew; a man whose brutal past would evade family and friends for decades. Several decades before his death, in the early hours of the morning, September 7, 1971, Clifford would claim that “love” was the driving force behind Australia’s most horrific case of familicide. What started as an insatiable idea that his wife was having an affair with a younger man would evolve in a plot to stop her from destroying their family and end in an unfathomable slaughter of 10 people. Listen as Chelsea and Bailey discuss the wild string of events that would take a small-town family in rural Australia to a death sentence and finally the grave. We will explore ideas of impulse control, love, the legal system, and redemption. So, buckle up Wildciders, it’s about to get bumpy!

Interview with Crime Author Lynda Drews
Friday May 24, 2024
Friday May 24, 2024
If you haven't listened to the previous episode 'A Fatal Love Triangle: The Case of Pamela Bulik', you may need to listen to that before this interview so you don't get any spoilers! Chelsea and Bailey interview Lynda Drews, author of Run at Destruction: A True Fatal Love Triangle about her book which centers around the suspicious death of her best friend Pamela Bulik. Tune in to listen to why Lynda decided to write the book, how writing this book helped her with the grief of losing her friend, her own personal theories on Pam's mysterious death and her favorite stories of Pam who was a wonderful teacher, mother and wife.
About the Author:
Lynda Drews, a Wisconsin native, gave the commencement speech at her University of Wisconsin-La Crosse alma mater. She encouraged students to journal their lives as she had. In 2009, Run at Destruction: A True Fatal Love Triangle was the outcome. Publisher’s Weekly said: “the author and victim’s shared moments… are remarkable.” The Investigation Discovery Channel filmed a segment based on that book, and it was endorsed by Ann Rule, the best-selling true crime author. Lynda’s Door County, Wisconsin mystery novel, Circle of Innocence, was published in 2014. Midwest Book Review said it “excels in psychological depth,” and Brian Freeman, the best-selling author of The Bone House, endorsed it. Desperate Parallels was inspired by Lynda’s IBM global executive career. While working in America and Japan, she learned first-hand the issues women faced, and continue to face, in the corporate business world. The Maid and the Socialite: The Brave Women Behind Green Bay's Scandalous Minahan Trials (released in 2023) takes place in Lynda's hometown in an era where women were treated as less than equal to the city's powerful men. The Midwest Book Review states that this true story is told with "the drama of fiction and the compelling research of fact." Click here for book trailer.
When Lynda’s not writing, she teaches classes for WRITE ON DOOR COUNTY, participates on the Brown County Historical Society Board, reads, runs, knits, plays bridge, and drinks coffee. The latter is a necessity, even at bedtime.

A Fatal Love Triangle: The Case of Pamela Bulik
Wednesday May 22, 2024
Wednesday May 22, 2024
In 1984, Pamela Bulik lived in Green Bay, WI with her husband Bob and their two children. Pam was an avid runner, a popular schoolteacher, and by April, Pam had been training months with her best friend Lynda Drews for the upcoming local marathon. Pam was excited for the race: she had lost weight, gained speed, and made new personal records on her times. Tragically, however, on the morning of April 7th, Pam had missed the marathon and is soon found dead in her home. Investigators were quick to the scene and identified that there were only three options for Pam’s death: accidental, suicide or murder. The details surrounding the crime scene were puzzling and there seemed to be more nefarious underpinnings to Pam's death than her husband's claims of an accidental death. The small community is quickly swept into a frenzy by Pam's death, suspicions of suicide that rang false, and Bob Bulik's alleged affair with a fellow educator. Hang out with us as we dig into this case (detailed in Lynda Drew’s book, Run at Destruction: A True Fatal Love Triangle) as we explore secret affairs, deception, and infidelity that took place in the most unexpected community.
