It was around 3PM on the 4th of July, 2010, when the distinctive smell of gas wafted up the nostrils of residents on Slateford Road in Edinburgh, Scotland. As firefighters were called, some neighbours assembled outside out of fear of an explosion. As they gathered around the neighbourhood, a woman appeared on a second-floor balcony of one of the townhouses.

This is Law&Crime’s Devil in the Dorm.You can listen to Law&Crime’s Devil in the Dorm now exclusively on Wondery Plus. Find Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or on Apple Podcasts.

BallenIsles Country Club is a middle-class gated community in Palm Beach Gardens in Florida. It’s boasts of three private golf courses as well as a country club which includes tennis courts.

One night in 2018, however, the idyl was shattered when deafening screams began to echo up and down the neighbourhood.SPONSORS -June’s Journey: Thank you to June’s Journey for sponsoring this episode!

Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid.When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story.

And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads.

There is nothing that people want more in this world than to be accepted for who they are. This is especially true for those in the LGBTQ community, who have to fight that extra bit harder for acceptance, even today in 2022. Transgender people remain the most invisible, the least understood and the most stigmatized element of the LGBTQA community, and in 2013, an attack in New York City sent shockwaves throughout the community.SPONSORS -SHOW NOTES - https://morbidology.com/morbidology-the-podcast-183-islan-nettlesPATREON - https://www.patreon.com/morbidologyAudio Credit:Evening of Chaos - Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Empty Reflections - ErikMMusic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgq4SPKHlyIA Mothers Sacrifice - OurMusicBox - https://ourmusicbox.com/Dark Tranquility - Anno Domini Beats - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6mBav72Ak

The year was 2018, and it was summertime in Clinton Township in Michigan. A teenage couple inexplicably vanished without a trace. At first, some speculated that they were simply out with friends, taking advantage of the nice weather and just spending time together. However, as time continued to pass and they still hadn’t returned home, concern quickly transformed into fear… That fear escalated even further when a foul odor began to emanate at the family home.SPONSORS -June’s Journey: Thank you to June’s Journey for sponsoring this episode!

For more than three and a half decades, the disappearance of 12-year-old Jonelle Matthews was a mystery – a riddle neither authorities nor her family members could solve. The residents of her cloistered Colorado hometown had scoured every inch of prairie. Jonelle’s face had been on milk cartons nationwide. Even the President of the United States had appealed to the public for help. Still, every lead had fizzled. Every person of interest had turned out to be a dead end.  Then, in 2019, Jonelle’s remains were unearthed near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With the discovery came a troubling new question: Had the truth been hiding in plain sight the entire time? Was the man who couldn’t stop obsessing over Jonelle’s disappearance also the person who took her? From Campside Media and Wondery comes season two of SUSPECT. Former CNN reporter Ashley Fantz and executive producers Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson (Suspect, Over My Dead Body) dig into one of the most mind-bending cold cases in modern history, in an attempt to separate fact and fiction, compulsion from guilt, and true-crime fandom from a motive for murder.
