Send a text message to the show! Allison and Jayson pick back up where they left off in their discussion of the suspected Lewis-Clark Valley Serial Killer, a case that spans several decades and leaves a lot of baffling clues in its wake. Last episode they detailed the disappearance of 12 year old Christina White of Asotin, Washington. Today they delve into several more disappearances and murders of young adults from the same area, all of which seem to be related to the same suspect.

20: Person of Interest -- The Lewis-Clark Valley Serial Killer -- Part 1
Send a text message to the show! Allison teams back up with Jayson Blair of the Silver Linings Handbook in a four part series to track the footsteps of a suspected serial killer who, in a rarity for this show in particular, is still very much alive. While they begin with the 1979 disappearance of 12-year old Christina White from Asotin, Washington, this is a case that potentially spans several decades, both before and after this event, with a suspect who appears to love taunting investigators through classified ads and other oddities. But before diving into the meat of the show, Allison talks a little bit about the period of 1970-2000, which is considered by experts to be the "Golden Age" of serial killers.

18: Amy Archer Gilligan -- The Real Killer Behind Arsenic and Old Lace
Send a text message to the show! We're joined by Brett from The Prosecutors for a Vintage Villains Halloween special. In 1941, the play Arsenic and Old Lace debuted to rave reviews on Broadway, and a few years later spawned a movie starring Cary Grant. The story, set on Halloween, about two little old ladies who run a boarding house and poison their infirm tenants made for a fun if macabre screwball comedy, but not many know playwright Joseph Kesselring was inspired by very real events. So we're traveling back to 1916 to talk about Amy Archer-Gilligan, an early pioneer of elder care facilities in the United States. And a key reason why regulations were later created to track deaths at such facilities.

In the continuing coverage of Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger, we trace the Terror Gang's steps after the deadly jailbreak in Lima, Ohio, which included daring robberies of police stations for guns and ammo, as well as more banks in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The game of cops and robbers was growing quite dire as both sides upped the ante. We also meet the woman who became the love of Dillinger's life, Mary "Billie" Frechette, as well as expand on some of Dillinger's lesser-known movements after his release from prison.

13: John Dillinger: Instant Celebrity Outlaw -- Part 1 of 4
Send a text message to the show! The Great Depression was a desperate time for the US and the world at large, and it spawned a whole host of criminals and gangs looking to take what they couldn't get. John Dillinger's crime spree of robbing banks and shooting back at cops across the Midwest only lasted about a year, but in that time he became something of a folk hero, as he expertly executed heist after heist, using a method he'd studied intensely during a 9 year prison stint. In part one of this two-parter, learn about Dillinger's early years, as well as all the fearsome ways the rest of the world was responding to the economic havoc. Hitler sure was busy. Also learn why Allison has a bit of a personal connection to the story of Dillinger.

12: Gene Leroy Hart and the Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders -- Part 3 of 3
Send a text message to the show! Allison and Jayson Blair conclude their series on the Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders, and they've brought on former FBI profiler Julia Cowley of The Consult podcast to answer questions and go over theories! *** In this special three-part series, Allison and friend Jayson Blair of the Silver Linings Handbook are back together again to talk about a case that continues to haunt Oklahoma nearly 50 years later. Lori Farmer, Denise Milner, and Michele Guse were among dozens of Girl Scouts who arrived at Camp Scott in Mayes County Oklahoma in June of 1977. After only one night, a camp counselor found the three girls brutally slain around 150 yards away from their shared tent. After a massive manhunt, police found their suspect: a local Cherokee and escaped convict by the name of Gene Leroy Hart, a man with both a violent past and a standing of merit in his community as a former high school football star. But despite the evidence against him, convincing both whites and Natives alike with a long distrust of law enforcement to believe he did it was a whole other matter. This case has been compared to OJ Simpson for numerous reasons, which you'll soon see. *** JOIN THE VINTAGE VILLAINS PATREON: patreon.com/vintagevillainspodcast LISTEN TO THE CONSULT: REAL FBI PROFILERS: https://www.truecrimeconsult.com/ LISTEN TO THE SILVER LININGS HANDBOOK: https://silverliningshandbook.com/ JOIN THE VINTAGE VILLAINS FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/24854498474165572 WATCH THE STREAMED VERSION ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAXfAo1MKYM SPECIAL THANKS TO RESEARCHER JESSICA CASH https://www.facebook.com/p/Just-The-Facts-True-Crime-Research-61556614253455/ "Almost New" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Support the show Credits: Main Theme Music -- Ken Dickson Main Graphics -- Nathaniel Dickson

Send a text message to the show! Allison and Jayson last left you in Part 1 with police beginning their questioning of Lloyd Lee Welch, a man who they'd initially thought a witness to the kidnapping of Katherine and Sheila Lyon at the Wheaton Plaza mall in 1975 by their original suspect, Ray Mileski. However, Welch soon takes police on a dark and murky path that leads to him becoming the prime suspect in the girls' disappearance. Chances are if you had any leading theories about this case in the previous episode, they'll probably go out the window by the time you get to the end of this one. And speaking of theories, Allison and Jayson both give theirs at the end. //// Allison's Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/warpedcortexmedia Additional Music: "Late Night Radio" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ The Silver Linings Handbook Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-silver-linings-handbook/id1665733166 The Silver Linings Handbook Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheSilverLiningsHandbook Sources: The Last Stone, a 2019 book by Mark Bowden; the documentary Who Killed the Lyon Sisters?, which was directed by Bowden’s son, Aaron; articles in the Baltimore Sun, the Baltimore News American, The Washington Post and The Frederick News-Post.

8: Lloyd Welch and the Disappearance of the Lyon Sisters -- Part 1 of 2
Send a text message to the show! In this joint episode with the Silver Linings Handbook podcast, Allison and Jayson tackle what is to date the oldest no-body homicide case to receive a conviction in the US. In 1975, sisters Sheila (12) and Katherine (10) Lyon were going for a slice of pizza at a popular Baltimore-area shopping mall when they disappeared without a trace. But there were witnesses, and one of them helped generate the sketch of a man it would take nearly 40 years to circle back around to: Lloyd Lee Welch. Journalist and true crime author Mark Bowden called the Lyon sisters disappearance a case that struck at suburbia's idea of itself, and his book, THE LAST STONE (a major source for this episode) ,details law enforcement's labyrinthine investigation and interrogation of Welch and his family, a story that takes you to the heart of Appalachia and other dark corners that went decades before being exposed to the light of truth.

Send a text message to the show! In 1957, Ed Gein's gruesome crimes of murder, grave robbing, and corpse abuse shocked the the tiny town of Plainfield, Wisconsin as well as the rest of the world, giving rise to a cottage industry of horror franchises, and serving as a grim reminder of how deep isolation, illness, and an unshakable Oedipus complex can drive some to commit some of the most depraved acts. Take a whirl in the time machine to learn more about the world in which Gein lived and operated, and perhaps separate a little bit of the fact from the fiction his story continues to inspire more than 65 years later.

Send a text message to the show! In the 50th year since the kidnapping of heiress Patricia Hearst by the Symbionese Liberation Army, and the resulting crime spree that shocked the nation, we can acknowledge the vintage pedigree of the case. But was she truly a villain? She was certainly portrayed that way throughout her saga in the mid-1970s, but two US Presidents would intervene on her behalf, and she would go on to become a centerpiece on discussions of accountability, brainwashing, and Stockholm Syndrome. Pertaining to the latter, you'll get plenty of discussion on what Stockholm Syndrome actually is (and isn't).

This week, Allison and her guest Jayson Blair unravel the dark saga of Patty Cannon, a mastermind behind the Reverse Underground Railroad, whereby free Blacks were kidnapped in the north and sold to southern plantations desperate for them in the wake of the ban on imported slaves in 1807. But not only did the Cannon-Johnson gang, as it would come to be known, thrive on making mayhem for an upwards of ten thousand stolen individuals, Cannon was also a noted serial killer, with some accounts stating she had dozens of bodies of men, women, and children of varying ages buried on her property at the time of her 1829 arrest.
