Crime House 24/7

For nearly 30 years, Ken McElroy terrorized the small town of Skidmore, Missouri. Accused of theft, assault, arson, statutory rape, and intimidation, he manipulated the legal system and silenced witnesses through fear. When he shot 70-year-old grocery store owner Bo Bowenkamp in broad daylight, and still managed to delay justice yet again, the town’s patience began to crack. In today's first Throwback Thursday episode, Carter Roy unravels how one man’s unchecked violence exposed the limits of the justice system and pushed a quiet farming community toward the brink.

In November 2006, Abraham Shakespeare won 30 million dollars in the Florida Lottery. He couldn't read or write and had spent most of his life scraping by on odd jobs in Lakeland, Florida, but overnight he became one of the wealthiest men in town. He gave most of it away within two years, paying off mortgages, covering funeral costs, and helping nearly anyone who asked. Then a woman named Dee Dee Moore showed up, promising to protect what was left. Within months, she had his house, his insurance, and his power of attorney. Not long after that, Abe vanished, and the only person who claimed to know where he went was the woman who had taken everything from him. In today's second episode of Conspiracies & the Unknown, Carter Roy uncovers the sting operation that cracked the case and explores why they call it the lottery curse.

Since 2022, at least thirteen people connected to American scientific and defense research have died or disappeared under circumstances that have drawn scrutiny from the FBI, Congress, and the White House. Some cases have clear explanations: a revenge killing, a system failure, a man lost to grief. But others remain genuinely unsolved, with no confirmed sightings and no answers for the families left behind. In today's first episode of Conspiracies & the Unknown, Vanessa Richardson examines every name on the list, the skeptics who see pattern-seeking over evidence, and the real human cost when tragedy becomes a conspiracy theory.

In April 2014, Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon, two Dutch women in their early twenties, went for a daytime hike on a trail near Boquete, Panama. They never came back. Weeks later, their backpack was found on a jungle riverbank with their phones, camera, and cash still inside. What was on that camera changed everything: photographs taken in total darkness, including what appears to be an SOS signal and one photo that seemed to be deliberately deleted. Partial remains found months later were scattered miles from where their distress calls began and the official verdict of accidental death hasn't satisfied everyone. In today's second Unsolved Tuesday episode, Sarah Turney and Kourtney Nichole ask: Was it a tragic accident, or did someone find them first?
