A Simpler Time True Crime
Hosted by Megan Storm · EN
I’m Megan, your host, and each week I revisit unsolved cases from decades past, stories that have too often been forgotten or overlooked. Together, we examine the facts, question the myths of the “good old days,” and ask whether a simpler time was ever really a safer one.
This podcast honors the people at the heart of each case, focusing not on sensationalism, but on the lives affected and the justice still waiting to be served.

The Clarksville Killings: The Unsolved Murders of Azuria Johnson and Felicia Carson
3d ago00:41:06Tap to summarizeJust after the start of the New Year in 1996, two women are found brutally stabbed to death in their own homes in city of Clarksville, TN just days apart. This came only a month after another woman had been found stabbed to death in her Clarksville home. That case would eventually get solved, while the other two are still waiting for answers. Outside of the local area, these cases have not received a ton of coverage. And because so little is known, its never been clear if the cases are connected. Today I’ll walk you through what is known and the theories that are out there, in the hopes that it jogs someone's memory and provides information that could help solve one or both of these cases.TIPS: Clarksville Crimestoppers contact 931-645-TIPS, or go to www.p3tips.comBoth cases have a 10k reward for information leading to an arrest.Case suggestions: simplertimecrimepod@gmail.comIG: @simplertimecrimepodYoutube: https://youtube.com/@simplertimecrimepod?si=OlCWQ2Ky8qFaof02TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simplertimecrimep?_t=8s31x9iCrNv&_r=1Music By Universfield: https://pixabay.com/music/mystery-dramatic-atmosphere-with-piano-and-violin-143149/Thumbmail art: Lauren Kelty, host of True Crime BFF PodcastSource Material:https://projectcoldcase.org/2022/09/19/felicia-carson/https://law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/court-of-criminal-appeals/2011/m2011-00226-cca-r3-cd.htmlhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/1277663/carolyn-tina-vega_velazquezhttps://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-azuria-johnson/199043072/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-connections-studied-1/199044879/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-carolyn-vega-velasque/199046769/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-cvv-remembered-as-lea/199048388/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-connections-22/199049507/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-azuria-johnson/199100667/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-police-believe-no-con/199101737/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-cpd-rejects-link/199103041/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tennessean-college-studnet-found-sta/199103136/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tennessean-obit-felicia/199103402/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-murders-have-communit/199103509/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-community-on-alert-bu/199103729/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-commercial-appeal-campus-fear/199103961/https://www.newspapers.com/article/elizabethton-star-three-recent-slayings/199104239/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-felicia-carson-seek-l/199104331/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-special-task-force-1/199104488/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-special-task-force-2/199104845/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-brother-bill-denmark/199105843/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-another-case-4/199106661/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-carson-reward-12/199106776/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-carson-reward-22/199106933/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-six-unsolved-murders/199107430/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-brother-to-paper/199107890/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-serial-killer-reid/199109009/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-police-seek-murders-c/199109417/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-red-carpet-lounge/199109774/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-two-arrested-in-slayi/199111137/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-leaf-chronicle-vega-velasquez/199111185Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-simpler-time-true-crime--6665681/support.

The Trap: The Unsolved Murder of Morris Davis Jr.
1w ago00:48:04Tap to summarizeIn April of 1985, a Montana man is working multiple jobs to save money and pursue his dreams. After getting off one job, he went straight to his second job to deliver pizzas. As he approached a regular looking house for delivery, he would have no idea that he was walking into a trap. His own brother would be the first responder who showed up to the house, a scene that has never left him. The investigation produced many suspects, some wrong turns, and closed in closely on a violent repeat offender. But nobody has ever been arrested for this calculated crime and investigators believe its highly likely that more than one person was involved or knows information. More than 40 years later, it could take just one small clue or person coming forward to solve this case.TIPS: call Det.

Vanished at Kent State: The Unsolved Disappearance of Judy Martins
2w ago00:40:28Tap to summarizeJust before Memorial Day weekend in 1978, a college student visited a residence hall on the campus of Kent State University. Photos from that night show her smiling and laughing with friends, wearing a playful wig as part of a costume she put on to prank her friends. But sometime after midnight, she left the dorm room to make what should have been a short walk back to her own dorm, a distance reported to be only a few hundred yards. She never made it.In the days and years that followed, the investigation into her disappearance would take countless turns. There were rumors, reported sightings, psychics, and even speculation surrounding a convicted killer believed to have been living in the area at the time. Now, decades later, the case is receiving renewed attention and those taking a fresh look at Judy’s disappearance wonder whether the answers may be with the people she was last with on campus.TIPS: U.S. Marshals at 1-866-4WANTEDCase suggestions: simplertimecrimepod@gmail.comIG: @simplertimecrimepodYoutube: https://youtube.com/@simplertimecrimepod?si=OlCWQ2Ky8qFaof02TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simplertimecrimep?_t=8s31x9iCrNv&_r=1Music By Universfield: https://pixabay.com/music/mystery-dramatic-atmosphere-with-piano-and-violin-143149/Thumbmail art: Lauren Kelty, host of True Crime BFF PodcastSource Material:https://www.record-courier.com/story/news/crime/2018/05/24/i-think-about-her/12078184007/https://www.pbs.org/video/vital-pages-what-happened-to-judy-martins-8ajtk9/https://www.pbswesternreserve.org/blogs/luminus-stories-about-us/we-never-stopped-looking-the-search-for-judy-martins-continues/https://www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov/Files/Law-Enforcement/Investigator/Ohio-Missing-Persons/Missing-Adults-1/Martinshttps://charleyproject.org/case/judy-martinshttps://websleuths.com/threads/oh-judy-martins-22-kent-24-may-1978.51675/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-galion-inquirer-kent-state-coed-is-m/198060107/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-cleveland-press-statewide-alert-issu/198100884/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-information-sou/198100911/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-cleveland-press-cleveland-area-co-ed/198101056/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-missing-coed-in/198101711/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-plain-dealer-police-plan-to-use-a-he/198106023/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-tribune-more-on-mexico/198107030/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-garage-sale-dea/198108726/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-no-new-leads/198109904/https://www.newspapers.com/article/dayton-daily-news-1980-nearly-two-years/198110818/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-10k-offered/198111688/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-posey-isnt-lin/198111752/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-ksu-reward-ends/198111832/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-posey-caught/198111879/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-plain-dealer-where-is-judy-martins/198112109/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-plain-dealer-where-is-judy-martins-p/198114566/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-plain-dealer-where-is-judy-page-3/198114660/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-plain-dealer-god-let-it-be/198115878/https://darkdowneast.com/irisbrown/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-simpler-time-true-crime--6665681/support.

Catching The Monster of Davidson Avenue: The Solved 1996 Murder of Jasmine Porter
3w ago01:13:29Tap to summarizeIn February of 1996, a pregnant woman is attacked in her Bronx apartment with her young son as a witness to the brutal crime. The case seems like it is going to be solved early on when a witness comes forward and names who they say did this. But as quickly as this comes together, it falls apart and the case goes cold for over two decades. That was until a series of events lands the case in the hands of Bronx Homicide Detective Robert Klein who starts reworking the case from the beginning. The investigation into Jasmine’s murder perfectly illustrates how nothing is as seen on TV. Detective Klein’s thoughts on who did it weaved in and out of different people in Jasmine’s social circle as he reinterviewed key people. That was until a DNA hit revealed a name that was nowhere in the police file and uncovered a monster who had terrorized the women of Davidson Avenue for years.

The Camera on Bumblebee Road: The Unsolved Double Homicide of Brandon Rumbaugh and Lisa Gurrieri
May 1100:34:14Tap to summarizeIn 2003, a young couple heads into the remote desert of Yavapai County to celebrate their anniversary. They only had time for a quick overnight trip, so they decided to spend the evening together beneath the stars, camping in the back of a pickup truck. But when the two failed to show up to obligations the next morning, friends began to worry. Because the couple had shared their camping plans with people close to them, the friends and family searching for them had a starting point on where to look for them and locate the truck. And when they approached it, they walked into the worst-case scenario. Nearby, a damaged disposable camera was recovered that appeared to have been intentionally destroyed. Despite that attempt, police were still able to process the film inside. Out of all the photos recovered, three images in particular immediately stood out to investigators.More than twenty years later, people are still asking the same question: were those three photographs an important clue to what happened that night, or a red herring that sent investigators down the wrong path?TIPS: Yavapai Silent Witness is offering up to a $10,000 cash reward for information that leads to an arrest in this case.

A Web of Truth and Lies: The Unsolved Disappearance of Barbara Cotton
May 400:44:38Tap to summarizeOne night in the spring of 1981, a North Dakota teenager didn’t come home. Sometimes when it feels like someone has vanished into thin air, there are very few leads to go on. And for many of the decades that followed, that’s how this case appeared to people outside the local area. There was one clear last sighting of Barb, and then she was gone. But as the case was revisited and looked at more closely by her family, an investigative podcaster, and members of the community, it became clear that there had always been quiet talk about what may have happened to her. A mysterious boyfriend. A killer passing through town. And clues that pointed closer to home. In this episode, I talk through those pieces with Barb’s younger sister, Kathy, and share what has been uncovered, along with where the case stands today, 45 years later.TIPS:Williston Police Department (North Dakota) 1-701-577-1212Case suggestions: simplertimecrimepod@gmail.comIG: @simplertimecrimepodYoutube: https://youtube.com/@simplertimecrimepod?si=OlCWQ2Ky8qFaof02TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simplertimecrimep?_t=8s31x9iCrNv&_r=1Music By Universfield: https://pixabay.com/music/mystery-dramatic-atmosphere-with-piano-and-violin-143149/Thumbmail art: Lauren Kelty, host of True Crime BFF PodcastSource Material:Interview: Kathy N - Barb's sisterhttps://findbarbcotton.com/https://dakotaspotlight.com/barbara-cotton-disappearance/https://crimeblogger1983.blogspot.com/https://charleyproject.org/case/barbara-louise-cottonhttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/83582081/stacey_demarr-werderhttps://medium.com/@gabulosis/barbara-cotton-a-family-is-still-searching-for-answers-over-4-decades-later-31a52cabaf80https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-bismarck-tribune-williston-woman-won/195052811/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-dickinson-press-williston-woman-stil/195044356/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/12197903/franklin_leonard-cottonhttps://www.missingkids.org/poster/NCMC/796102/1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-simpler-time-true-crime--6665681/support.

Arrest Made in Cindy Wanner Case: An Update with Original Episode
Apr 3000:54:56Tap to summarizeAn arrest has been made in the 1991 Killing of Cindy Wanner. Here you'll hear the original episode plus the updates. A mother is making a little extra money by cleaning her sister's house in an upscale neighborhood. She is feeding her eleven-month old daughter cereal in her high chair while cleaning each room. Somewhere in a small forty-five minute window, someone would gain access to the house and brazenly abduct Cindy in front of her child. Cindy would be found murdered three weeks later, but the autopsy would reveal that she had been kept alive for two weeks after her abduction and open up the investigation to a whole new round of questions. Was there a new serial killer operating in an area that had already been plagued by a few? Was her case related to other crimes in the area? Cindy's case is so solvable, with DNA evidence just waiting for witness testimony to strengthen the case.Case suggestions: simplertimecrimepod@gmail.comIG: @simplertimecrimepodYoutube: https://youtube.com/@simplertimecrimepod?si=OlCWQ2Ky8qFaof02TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simplertimecrimep?_t=8s31x9iCrNv&_r=1Music By Universfield: https://pixabay.com/music/mystery-dramatic-atmosphere-with-piano-and-violin-143149/Thumbmail art: Lauren Kelty, host of True Crime BFF PodcastNew Updates Links for Sources:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/28/cindy-wanner-cold-case-murderhttps://www.ktvu.com/news/placer-county-cindy-wanner-cold-case-arresthttps://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/cindy-wanner-cold-case-murder-granite-bay-arrest-placer-county/https://www.azfamily.com/2026/04/29/bullhead-city-residents-shock-after-neighbor-arrested-1991-california-cold-case/Link to Golden State Killer Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/5IKmGf0PQ5By58ulfXLz1E?si=e39ba536fc214b86Link to Episode on Yosemite Murders:https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/murder-in-paradise-the-yosemite-murders/id1122650415?i=1000386193409https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sacramento-bee-cindy-wanner-cause-of/150321293/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sacramento-bee-break-may-come-in-91/150322532/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sacramento-bee-cindy-wanner-identifi/150322590/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sacramento-bee-cindy-wanner-autopsy/150322654/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-press-tribune-cindy-wanner-atm-card/150322732/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-bismarck-tribune-atm-card-may-leave/150322834/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sacramento-bee-purse-missing-wanner/150323743/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-press-tribune-1993-wanner-calls-stil/150323841/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sacramento-bee-pacer-slaying-dec-17/150323948/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sacramento-bee-dec-10-1991-atm-car/150323999/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sacramento-bee-little-evidence-found/150324033/https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-sacramento-bee-fbi-enters-kidnapping/150324100/https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/cold-case-homicides-that-haunt-the-greater-sacramento-area/103-47735993Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-simpler-time-true-crime--6665681/support.

The One Still Missing: The Unsolved Abduction of Bambi Brantley
Apr 2700:37:32Tap to summarizeFrom 1986 to 1990, a small community in Louisiana was shaken by a series of disappearances involving teenage girls and young women. By 1990, after multiple cases happened close together, people began to notice patterns.Some of the victims shared similar appearances. A few were last known to be using a phone, including public payphones, around the time they vanished. Some were the teenage daughters of military families stationed nearby. Others were new to the area. As the community tried to make sense of it, many believed the cases had to be connected. But over time, arrests would show something more complicated. These disappearances were not all the work of a single person. Some of these cases have since been solved. Others remain cold. And one woman is still missing.Her name is Bambi. Today, I’m focusing on her case. But to understand it, we also have to look at the others, where they stand, what connects them, and what does not. Because it raises a bigger question. How did a town of just five thousand people experience this much loss in such a short period of time?TIPS: Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office at (337) 238-7248.

Ambushed From The Shadows: The Unsolved Murder of Officer Kevin Brame
Apr 2000:45:12Tap to summarizeOn November 1, 1999, Dayton Police Officer Kevin Brame spent an unexpected evening with his two sons and his family. His estranged wife had called to say the boys were hoping to see him, and he never passed up a chance to be with them, especially as everyone was adjusting to life during the separation. He got the boys home in time for baths and bed on a school night, and stayed a little while to set up the new video game he had bought them earlier. Later, he planned to head back to the apartment he had just moved into eight days before, a place he was still in the middle of renovating. As he walked out toward his car, someone stepped from the bushes in front of the home and shot Kevin in the neck, killing him. Kevin had served six years with the Dayton Police Department, following in the footsteps of his father, a retired detective. His murder struck deeply within the department, not just as a case to solve, but as the loss of one of their own. More than twenty five years later, the city of Dayton and Kevin’s family are still searching for answers.TIPS: Miami Valley Crimestoppers (937) 222-STOP or www.justiceforkevinbrame.com Case
