  Ep. 126 | The Unsolved Murder of Lindsay Buziak [Part 1]

  Aug 18, 20261h 3m

  On February 2nd, 2008, twenty-four-year-old real estate agent Lindsay Buziak  was murdered inside a vacant home she was showing to a couple posing as prospective buyers. Days earlier, a woman with an unplaceable accent had called her out of the blue, claiming she and her husband urgently needed a million-dollar home and could close within days. Lindsay was uneasy enough to ask her boyfriend, Jason Zailo, to wait nearby during the showing. Witnesses saw Lindsay take the couple inside the home, but she would not leave it alive. That evening, while Jason waited in his car down the street and while Lindsay’s blackberry butt dialed an old acquaintance, Lindsay was brutally murdered inside the home. Nothing was stolen, there was no sexual assault, and there was almost no forensic evidence left behind. Police believe whoever did this had done it before. To this day, no arrests have ever been made. This is the unsolved murder of Lindsay Buziak. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for bonus content & ad-free listening! ⭐ https://www.patreon.com/c/ATRIALBYPODCAST ️ Sponsors, special offers & discount codes: https://www.atrialbypodcast.com/sponsors Find us everywhere: All links: https://linktr.ee/atrialbypodcast Website: https://atrialbypodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558845693491 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atrialbypodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@atrialbypodcast Contact: atrialbypodcast@gmail.com Theme Music: https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischief License code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCS Sources for this episode will be posted at atrialbypodcast.com within 30 days of the publish date.

  Ep. 125 | Kate Warne: The Woman (Gasp!) Who Saved the Life of Abraham Lincoln [Temporarily]

  Aug 11, 202643 min

  On the morning of February 23, 1861, a train pulled quietly into Washington, D.C., hours ahead of schedule and without the fanfare that should have accompanied the arrival of a president-elect. Abraham Lincoln, dressed not in his customary black suit but in a soft felt hat and an overcoat draped like a shawl across his shoulders, stepped off the car and into the capital unannounced. There was no brass band, no cheering crowd, no ceremony befitting the man about to take the oath of office. There was, instead, a tired detective named Allan Pinkerton, a bodyguard named Ward Hill Lamon, and a woman who had spent the entire night awake in a train berth, watching over a man the world did not yet know was sitting beside her. That woman was Kate Warne. She was thirty-one years old, a widow, an actress by temperament if not by trade, and, improbably for a country that would not grant women the right to vote for another sixty years, the first female detective in the history of the United States. Warne did not carry a badge that history remembers, and she left behind no diary, no memoir, no photograph with her own handwriting on the back to tell us who she really was. What she left behind, instead, was a single, extraordinary night in which her composure, her intelligence, and her willingness to do a job no one thought a woman could do may have altered the entire course of American history. Had Abraham Lincoln been assassinated in Baltimore in February of 1861, before he ever took the oath of office, there would have been no Emancipation Proclamation, no Gettysburg Address, no Thirteenth Amendment signed under his hand. The Union that fought and won the Civil War as we know it might never have existed in that form at all. This is the story of how Kate Warne helped history play out the way that it did, and of the largely undocumented life that led her to a moment when the safety of a nation rested, in no small part, on the nerve of one woman traveling under a false name. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for bonus content & ad-free listening! ⭐ https://www.patreon.com/c/ATRIALBYPODCAST ️ Sponsors, special offers & discount codes: https://www.atrialbypodcast.com/sponsors Find us everywhere: All links: https://linktr.ee/atrialbypodcast Website: https://atrialbypodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558845693491 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atrialbypodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@atrialbypodcast Contact: atrialbypodcast@gmail.com Theme Music: https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischief License code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCS Sources for this episode will be posted at atrialbypodcast.com within 30 days of the publish date.

  Ep. 124 | Carmen Tarleton: A Story of Resilience

  Aug 4, 20261h 7m

  In 2007, in the quiet town of Thetford, Vermont, a nurse and a mother of two named Carmen Tarlton was doing what she'd always done, showing up for her daughters, her patients, and her community. She was the kind of person people described as resilience before they ever knew how much resilience she would need. That same year, a man she had once loved, broke into her home and attacked her with industrial lye, leaving her blind, disfigured, and fighting for her life. This is the story of how Carmen and her attacker's relationship curdled into violence, how he took it there, the night that changed everything, and the years that followed, including the pioneering face transplant that gave Carmen not just a new face, but a second chance at a life that she refused to let anyone take away from her This is one of the most brutal stories of domestic violence I've dived into But it's also one of the most incredible stories of resilience I've ever heard. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for bonus content & ad-free listening! ⭐ https://www.patreon.com/c/ATRIALBYPODCAST ️ Sponsors, special offers & discount codes: https://www.atrialbypodcast.com/sponsors Find us everywhere: All links: https://linktr.ee/atrialbypodcast Website: https://atrialbypodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558845693491 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atrialbypodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@atrialbypodcast Contact: atrialbypodcast@gmail.com Theme Music: https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischief License code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCS Sources for this episode will be posted at atrialbypodcast.com within 30 days of the publish date.

  Ep. 123 | The Mysterious Death of Charles Morgan

  Jul 28, 20261h 30m

  In March of 1977, Tucson escrow agent Charles Morgan dropped his daughters at school and vanished. Three days later he stumbled through his front door, hands zip-tied, unable to speak. He wrote to his wife that his throat had been doused with a hallucinogenic drug that would kill him if he talked, and begging her not to call police. Morgan ran Statewide Escrow Service, a business rumored to have ties to organized crime figures in Phoenix and the Bonanno crime family. Three months later, on June 18th, his body was found in the desert forty miles from home, shot once in the back of the head with his own revolver. He was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a hidden knife and holster, with no fingerprints on the gun beside him. Gunshot residue was found on his left hand, but Morgan was right-handed. Despite the contradictions, authorities ruled it suicide. His family has never accepted that finding, and nearly fifty years later, Chuck Morgan's death remains a mystery. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for bonus content & ad-free listening! ⭐ https://www.patreon.com/c/ATRIALBYPODCAST ️ Sponsors, special offers & discount codes: https://www.atrialbypodcast.com/sponsors Find us everywhere: All links: https://linktr.ee/atrialbypodcast Website: https://atrialbypodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558845693491 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atrialbypodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@atrialbypodcast Contact: atrialbypodcast@gmail.com Theme Music: https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischief License code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCS Sources for this episode will be posted at atrialbypodcast.com within 30 days of the publish date.

  Ep. 122 | The Murder of Konerak Sinthasomphone

  Jul 21, 20261h 15m

  On the night of May 27th, 1991, a fourteen-year-old boy named Konerak Sinthasomphone stumbled out of the Oxford Apartments in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was naked, drugged, and bleeding. Three women found him on the sidewalk and called 911. When police arrived, they had everything they needed: a visibly injured victim, three eyewitnesses insisting he was a child, and the man who'd drugged him standing right there, calmly trying to explain it all away. Ten minutes later, officers carried Konerak back upstairs to the man’s apartment - the apartment of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer - where he was strangled to death within the hour. This isn't a story about whether police could have caught a killer sooner in some abstract sense. It's a story about ten specific minutes, on one specific night, when three private citizens did everything right to stop the murder of a 14-year-old boy, but three sworn officers simply handed him back to his killer. Konerak didn't die because no one noticed. He died because the people who noticed weren’t believed, and the people with the power to act chose not to. ⭐ Support the show on Patreon for bonus content & ad-free listening! ⭐ https://www.patreon.com/c/ATRIALBYPODCAST ️ Sponsors, special offers & discount codes: https://www.atrialbypodcast.com/sponsors Find us everywhere: All links: https://linktr.ee/atrialbypodcast Website: https://atrialbypodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558845693491 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/atrialbypodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@atrialbypodcast Contact: atrialbypodcast@gmail.com Theme Music: https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischief License code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCS Sources for this episode will be posted at atrialbypodcast.com within 30 days of the publish date.
