Send us a Text Message.The early 1900's were a wild time in policing if you really stop to think about it. In one town you can be a respectable citizen, in the next town a pariah. And for a fresh start, move to a new area and your past becomes whatever you want it to be. So who or what exactly was Dr EH Harding? And what happened when he ran afoul of Ogden's finest - Pinnock, Pender, Wislon and others? Was the respected Doc duped by the devilish young dame? Or has he finally been exposed to the light of day thanks to historical Detective work?Ogden, Ogden Utah, Junction City, True Crime, Historic 25th Street, Two-Bit Street, Ogden True Crime, Utah True Crime, Police, Police Podcast, Tales of Policing, History, History Podcast

Send us a Text Message.Well here it is. The episode we've promised you for weeks and arguably, our most anticipated episode to date. Belle London. If you've heard of early 1900's Ogden, you've heard the name. But what do you really know about her? Feminist Icon or Human Sex Trafficker? Madame or Monster? Is it possible to be both? One thing is certain, the Ogden you know would not be the Ogden you know without her. Arguably the most influential power broker in the city's history, we present you the facts of her story and you be the judge.  But we guarantee you this, our Junction City Jurors:  You'll likely be shocked at her story and the revelations about the city at the time contained within this podcast. Ogden, Ogden Utah, Junction City, True Crime, Historic 25th Street, Two-Bit Street, Ogden True Crime, Utah True Crime, Police, Police Podcast, Tales of Policing, History, History Podcast

Send us a Text Message.Our Valentine's Day surprise to our listeners. We were fortunate enough to be able to sit down with Marshall "Doc" White's grandson Bronson. Bronson is a very intelligent young man and also the host of his own project Big Black Craniums, a podcast and vlog-cast reviewing books. It just so happens we have a book in common, White's City, written about the Man, Myth, and Legend that is Doc White. So we collaborated and got to have fun and engaging chat about all things Marshall White and the White family as well as review some of the more entertaining stories from the book. Shoutout to Bronson, Ron, and the White family as a whole for the support and love they have shown Junction City Justice, and let's make sure to return that love out of respect for Marshall White in the form of support to the White family and their projects and the Marshall White Center. We hope you enjoy this episode and our revisiting of one of the area's great men. Ogden, Ogden Utah, Junction City, True Crime, Historic 25th Street, Two-Bit Street, Ogden True Crime, Utah True Crime, Police, Police Podcast, Tales of Policing, History, History Podcast

Send us a Text Message.In part one of a two-part series we cover the early life of Marshall "Doc" White. Through exhaustive research and an interview with his son, Ronald White, we piece together the story of Marshall "Doc" White's early life that started in the humble beginnings of Humboldt, Tennessee in 1909. It is an amazing journey from the sharecropper fields of Tennessee to the tight-knit church community of Muncie, Indiana and through the halls of Northwestern University's Institute of Surgery in Chicago. His amazing journey through medical school and his military service in World War II, with all the trials and tribulations he experienced, you can listen to why Marshall "Doc" White developed a drive to become the man who lifted a community in Ogden. This story is about the man who was Marshall Neil White. The man who was so much more than an Ogden Police Officer who lost his life in the line of duty.Ogden, Ogden Utah, Junction City, True Crime, Historic 25th Street, Two-Bit Street, Ogden True Crime, Utah True Crime, Police, Police Podcast, Tales of Policing, History, History Podcast

Send us a Text Message.Charles Manzel was murdered on his first night back with the Ogden Police Department May 9, 1921 after a stint as a foot-beat Patrolman from 1914 to 1919, while investigating a burglary-in-progress. That is what he is remembered for. But, dare we ask, while all Police Officers who made that ultimate sacrifice should be honored, what should they be remembered for? What happened to them? Or so much more? We explore these themes along with Manzel as an Officer, his murder, and the aftermath. But we also explore his personal life, personal experiences, life in the Gilded Age in Ogden, Manzel's personal interests, and so much more. Join us and get to know the man behind the murder. As well as the strange sequence of events that led to a spot opening up so that Manzel could return to the Ogden Police in the first place. Time and our spots in time are a strange thing. One small change in sequence and the whole timeline would not have occurred. Something to ponder on as you learn about Manzel and what took place in Ogden. Ogden, Ogden Police, Junction City, Junction City Justice, Two-Bit Street, Twobit Street, Electric Alley, Historic 25th Street, True Crime, True Crime Podcast, True Crime Utah, True Crime Ogden, True Crime Ogden Police, Police Podcast, Police Work Podcast, Police Ogden Utah PodcastOgden, Ogden Utah, Junction City, True Crime, Historic 25th Street, Two-Bit Street, Ogden True Crime, Utah True Crime, Police, Police Podcast, Tales of Policing, History, History Podcast

Send us a Text Message.William Kerr Milligan, known to most as "Bill" or "Captain Bill", but to Mike St. James, he was "Pop", grandfather extraordinaire. Here we visit with the legacy of a Scotch-Irish immigrant who makes his own way coming to America at age 11. In this episode, which takes place in the late 20's into the 50's, we'll visit the dichotomy of a Man who is tasked with investigating the horrific slayings of females on a Thursday and is there to take his adoring grandson to baseball games on a Saturday and the inner strength he displayed that went unspoken, but is very much apparent through his history. Mike St. James has a way with words in describing "Pop" that are so vivid that he will take you back to Pop's living room while he sits in his chair smoking his pipe and reading his newspaper. Join us as we shake hands through the past decades with Bill Milligan as he rose from the rough streets of Junction City in the late 20's walking a foot beat to Captain of Detectives investigating two sexual predator serial killers at practically the same time. Hollywood couldn't have written a better story than the one that played out in real life, and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention he served in the US Army in the campaign in Mexico to capture Pancho Villa and WWI, and later the US Navy in WWII. Public Service personified. We are honored that Mike St. James took the time to share "Pop" with the rest of us, and may we all aspire to be a little more like Bill/Pop.

Send us a Text Message.Episode 11, The rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say. Ogden, Utah - We revisit our old friends Pender, Noble, Keeter, Burk, Stettler, Finn, Dyer, you get the idea. As the episode is titled, these are the rest of their stories. Stories that, for whatever reason, we weren't able to get to in the podcast. A season recap, a clip show, and a return to their sagas and stories, but with something of a twist. These are some new tales on our old companions. Why was Pender policing an Ogden vs Salt Lake baseball game? What was Stettler dealing with in 1976 that is oddly familiar in 2022? Did Keeter and Ballantyne get a last laugh on Harman Peery? Why was the Saintly Tim Dyer dubbed the Unluckiest Cop on the Force from the local media?  How were Finn and Milligan always in the right place at the right time?

Send us a Text Message.Ogden, Utah - Episode 10! A benchmark, and I have come across no one more deserving of the distinction of this benchmark than Tim Dyer. After researching this man and hearing of his unconditional support for the youth of the city, the man should have a statue built in his honor. His impact is still felt to this day and felt across generations of the citizens of Junction City, and it is our hope that you understand that we put our souls into this episode, given the caliber of Man that Tim Dyer was, may he never be forgotten. With live interviews with his daughter, his co-worker (Ralph) Spence Phillips, and the man himself, we hope that Tim's memory may live on forever, and may we all take a piece of Tim with us in understanding that our impact can live on through generations. We are pleased to bring you: The Legendary Tim Dyer.*NOTE - Please bare with us on the audio of Tim's interview. It is rough, but the stories are fantastic. And who are we to speak for Tim when he can tell you in his own words? We are truly honored to bring this Man's story to you.Two-Bit Street, 25th Street, Historic 25th Street, Junction City, Ogden, Ogden Utah, True Crime, Police, Police Stories, Tales of PolicingOgden, Ogden Utah, Junction City, True Crime, Historic 25th Street, Two-Bit Street, Ogden True Crime, Utah True Crime, Police, Police Podcast, Tales of Policing, History, History Podcast
