Ronald and Christine Jabalee were found beaten and stabbed to death in the garage of their home in New Baltimore, Michigan in October of 2006. Letters written in blood were found underneath the jeep next to Christine's dead body, but the killer is believed to have mopped most of it up, making it indecipherable and the killer unidentifiable. Lack of any physical evidence and motive resulted in the acquittal of their eldest son, Ron Jabalee Jr., the singular suspect in the case, in 2010. Support u...

Think for a minute about your neighbors, especially the ones you don't know too well. Maybe there's a quiet couple on your street who tend to keep to themselves. Sure, you might see them walking out to their car, or say hi in passing, or simply notice that they aren't very social. But you don't know much about them. Now imagine that you see that couple being arrested in front of their house and discover to your horror that they had 13 children inside that they chained to their beds and starved- ...

Everyone knew that Denise Anderson was being harassed by her ex-boyfriend, Sheldon Davis. He was stalking her, had physically assaulted her, vandalized her car, and threatened her. Denise had gone to the police three times looking for help. But the law was clear: the police couldn't arrest Sheldon Davis on Domestic abuse charges, because Denise wasn't dating him anymore. By law, they were just "estranged friends." When her body was found at the end of the summer in 2019, dead inside a burning ap...

In this case, there is no moral about remembering to lock the door behind you. There's no advice on how to dress, where to go, or what to do to stay safe. In this case, 27 year old Lauren Giddings did everything right. She was friendly, compassionate, and caring towards her neighbor, a man a bit younger than her who everyone else thought was a bit too weird. Lauren joked that if he was dangerous, she would be the only one who was spared.... Because she always treated him right and with kindness....

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? Patreon - https://patreon.com/crimesaladpod...

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 a...

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 o...

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 ...

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 slo...
