Episode 28 - The Wineville Chicken Ranch Murders & the Survival of Sanford Clark

Episode 28 - The Wineville Chicken Ranch Murders & the Survival of Sanford Clark
All the triggers warnings with this one, y'all! We're back from our much needed vacation and we have a California based survivor story for you. In 1926 in a town formally known as Wineville (now called Mira Loma), a horrible monster named Stewart had a chicken ranch built and forced his young nephew, Sanford, to help him in this endeavor. Sanford was forced to endure torture, physical and mental abuse, and rape from 1926 to 1928. Sanford thankfully is able to escape his nightmare in the end and Uncle Stewart also gets what is coming to him. In addition to the below sources, I referenced a book called ⁠The Road Out of Hell by Anthony Flacco with Jerry Clark⁠ for use in this episode. I highly recommend check it out for more info about this case. Our mocktail creator highlight this week is Ripple Mocktails! Check them out over on there IG page ⁠@ripple_mocktails⁠.

Ep 23 - Bloody Boone Helm
We sort of get an extra episode this month with there being five Mondays! This week is an Emily episode and she tells us all about a monster of a man, Boone Helm. Boone was very capable with a Bowie knife and used it on many of his victims.  Our mocktail comes from Drinking for Two by Diana Licalzi and Kerry Benson. Find them on Instagram at @dietitian.diana and @healthycrayvings respectively. We absolutely love them and their books, please give them a follow.  SOURCES Very cool storymap of Boone Helm and his rampage  https://www.legendsofamerica.com/we-boonehelm/ https://943litefm.com/boone-helm/ https://newspaperarchive.com/boston-weekly-globe-sep-27-1890-p-7/ Boone Helm - Wikipedia Boone Helm - Kentucky Cannibal (barkerville.com) Levi Boone Helm – Murderer, Cannibal & Thief – Legends of America Vigilante days and ways; the pioneers of the Rockies; the makers and making of Montana and Idaho : Langford, Nathaniel Pitt, 1832-1911 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Frontier Justice - Montana Vigilantes (archive.org) The vigilantes of Montana; or, Popular justice in the Rocky mountains; being a correct and impartial narrative of the chase, trial, capture, and execution of Henry Plummer's road agent band, together with accounts of the lives and crimes of many of the robbers and desperadoes, the whole being interspersed with sketches of life in the mining camps of the "Far west." : Dimsdale, Thomas Josiah, d. 1866 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive $1,000 in 1858 → 2023 | Inflation Calculator (officialdata.org) Thoroughbred valuation - Wikipedia Boot Hill - Wikipedia

A big thank you to my friend Kim for sharing it with me. This week I tell Emily about the death of Otto Koehler, millionaire and president of the San Antonio Brewing Company.

Episode 15 - The Kidnapping of Adolph Coors, III
Happy Malice Monday, mockstars! My ladies, Courtney and Michelle, over at In the Nick of Crime came up with Malice Mondays and we love it! On this episode Emily and I talk about the failed kidnapping and tragic murder of Adolph Coors, III. In February 1960, Adolph makes his way to the Coors Brewery and stops to be a good Samaritan to a fellow driver when he is ambushed and things take a tragic turn. Our podcast of the week is Crime Scenes and Cupcakes hosted by MaryAnne! Check out her trailer at the beginning of the episode, and add her podcast to your playlist if you want more true crime in your life. Our mocktail this week is a keto and instantpot friendly root beer recipe. I love root beer...Emily, however, does not, but I rolled with it anyway. You can also make this in a slow cooker. The book this recipe comes from is called Keto Instant Pot by Maria Emmerich.
