Crime Salad Podcast

In some cases, the answer isn’t obvious. Sometimes a vital clue is still missing, the police are withholding evidence from the public, or there are some stories that just don’t add up. In this week's case, it seemed that even after all the evidence was released and the story seemed fairly straightforward, the public wasn't, and still isn’t, satisfied. In this episode we will cover the missing case of Keneeka Jenkins. Support us! Want ad free listening?

Jelani Day was such a dedicated student that when he didn’t show up for class on August 24th, 2021, his professor immediately knew something was wrong. Jelani Day was such a caring son that when his mother texted him, and he didn’t call her back right away to chat, Carmen Bolden Day knew that something had happened to her baby. When his body was found in the Illinois River in a town he had no connection to weeks after his disappearance, the police seemed content to label his death a suicide or an accident--but with the facts and evidence gathered, Carmen and the rest of Jelani’s family are sure that Jelani didn’t end up in the water of his own accord. How did a young Black man with so much promise and things to live for wind up in a river of a small town an hour away from his home? Support us! Want ad free listening?

Some of the killers we’ve talked about had terrible childhoods filled with abuse and unimaginable grief. Some have convinced themselves that their potential gains, maybe money or protecting a secret, justify their crime. And while none of this justifies murder, it can helps us try to better make sense of a horrible tragedy. But there is no such motive or sympathetic backstory for the man who brutally killed Karen Buckley, a 24 year old Irish nurse and master’s student, who was enjoying a night out with friends in Glasgow in April 2015. As the judge said in his sentencing, Alexander Pacteau, was a “callous and calculating” murderer who took the life of a young woman who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

To an outsider, it might seem like there isn’t a lot going on in Lebanon, Missouri. There is a Route 66 museum, a Walmart, a bowling alley, and a few shops. It’s less than 15 square miles and has about 14,000 residents. But if current trends hold, there’s a 1 in 19 chance that you will be a victim of a violent crime, making it one of the most violent areas in the United States. Because of its violent past and proximity to the Ozarks--an area with a surprising amount of unsolved missing person's cases--Cassidy Rainwater’s mysterious disappearance garnered media attention. cases--Cassidy Rainwater’s mysterious disappearance garnered media attention.

In well publicized missing persons cases, the police usually make it a point to let the public know that they are tirelessly working on bringing the victim home and bringing the perpetrator to justice. And that’s their job, no matter the circumstances, which is why it is so upsetting when it feels like they’re doing the exact opposite. After Kandi Green Gonzalez disappeared, it seems as if the very people who are supposed to be helping find the missing 36 year old from Kentucky were the ones slowing the investigation down. In the months since Kandi was thrown out of her home that she shared with the former Sheriff’s son, her family has met nothing but deadends and have conducted much of the investigation on their own. Are the police really doing all they can to find Kandi or is there more to this story than they are letting on? Support us! Want ad free listening?

After reading, or listening, to enough true crime, you might find the cases become somewhat formulaic. A person goes missing, a search party is sent out, a body is found, an arrest is ma de. Our case this week, though, is anything but that. Instead of inching closer to a solution, each new update only seems to generate more controversy and mystery around the Murdaugh Family.

In 1989, there were about 20,000 murders, but only 12,000 were solved. That’s only a 60% success rate, and that number hasn’t changed much in the last thirty years. You would think that with technology like DNA analysis and surveillance in more places, we’d be doing better. And of those unsolved crimes, few are solved years later. One of those 8000 unsolved cases in 1989 was the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling. Unlike so many others, this cold case did get a resolution, but it wasn’t until 27 years later. As a warning, this case references sexual abuse of children. Sponsors: One Farm Visit https://onefarm.com/coupon/crimesalad/ to find the plant-based natural remedy that fits your life.

When it comes to true crime, one of the biggest names that people think of is BTK--a serial killer whose reign of terror over Wichita, Kansas lasted more than 15 years. But while BTK might be the most famous killer, for the people of Wichita, Reginald and Jonathan Carr’s week long crime and killing spree caused citizens to fear for their lives both while out and inside their own homes. In the 20 years since the Carr Brothers committed what is now dubbed the Wichita Horror or Wichita Massacre, they have filed multiple appeals, keeping their crimes in headlines in town and preventing closure for the families who lost so much.  Sponsors: Dame Products Go to dameproducts.com/CRIMESALAD today for 15% off sitewide.

A few months back, we covered the 2004 case of Lisa Marie Montgomery--a woman who murdered Bobbie Jo Stinnet as she brutally cut open Bobbie Jo's abdomen to take her unborn baby. This case made national headlines, and in 2021, Lisa Marie became the first woman to be executed by the federal government in decades. Our case this week follows a similar trajectory. A 22 year old pregnant woman was lured into a neighbor's apartment, only to be attacked, killed, and had her unborn baby stolen from her womb.

It’s not everyday that cases that have gone cold get reopened. The odds are even slimmer when there’s no body or DNA evidence that can tie a suspect to the disappearance. And after 25 years? It seems almost impossible. But this past May, for the five children of Linda Lunsford, they might have finally found some answers to what happened when their mother didn’t come home from work in December of 1996.
