A Daughter Accused: The Murder of Lauri Waterman
Yesterday01:09:38Tap to summarizeDoc Waterman and his daughter Rachelle returned to their home in tiny Craig, Alaska on a cold night in November, 2004. They had been away for a Girl Scout Council meeting for Doc and a volleyball tournament for Rachelle. When they arrived at their home, Lauri Waterman, wife and mother, was nowhere to be found. Neither was her purple minivan.The next day, a burned-out car and a charred, unrecognizable body were found several miles away. The car turned out to be Lauri’s minivan. The dead body was hers. Police quickly focused on two young men as the perpetrators of this heinous crime. The men confessed, but in a surprise move, they implicated Rachelle in the plot. They said they carried out the abduction and murder at Rachelle’s request. According to them, Rachelle claimed she was abused by her mother, and wanted her dead.Join us at the quiet end today for A Daughter Accused, as we discuss whether Rachelle was a naïve, guileless young woman intimidated by police, or a cold-blooded killer who organized the brutal murder of her own mother.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-brewery--4126935/support.Record your voicemail at tiegrabber.com for our feedback segment or send us an email to truecrimebrewery@tiegrabber.comWe love receiving your feedback and most of our case choices come from listener suggestions!

The House on Old Mill Road
1w ago01:37:29Tap to summarizeOn this episode of True Crime Brewery, we turn our attention to a case that shook a quiet community and left a trail of questions in its wake. In 2015, three people vanished without explanation, sparking concern, confusion, and a growing sense that something sinister had occurred. As investigators found clues and began piecing together the timeline, attention shifted toward someone who seemed unlikely to be at the center of this crime—Kit Martin, a neighbor, a commercial pilot, and a former military officer whose past stood in stark contrast to the accusations that would follow.As we step through the details in this case, we will explore how a series of disappearances turned into a complex investigation uncovering hidden tensions, troubling relationships, and a web of secrets.Join us for The House on Old Mill Road. Today we examine the evidence, the contradictions, and the events that brought this case into the spotlight—raising difficult questions about trust, reputation, and what people are truly capable of behind closed doors.SourcesChristian Richard Martin v.

From Routine to Ruin: The Kidnapping of Exxon Exec Sidney Reso
Jun 101:49:43Tap to summarizeToday we´re talking about the kind of crime that makes you stop and ask a simple question: what were they thinking? In November 1992, Sidney Reso—a respected executive, a husband, and a father—stepped out of his home on what should have been an ordinary morning. Then within moments, he was gone. What followed is a crime that shocked a quiet New Jersey suburb and baffled investigators. A carefully planned kidnapping. A million-dollar ransom demand. And a crime that, at first, seemed almost calculated… deliberate… even ruthless.But as the truth began to unravel, the story became something else entirely. Not a master plan—but a series of choices. Decisions layered with desperation, arrogance, and a remarkable failure to think through the consequences. Tonight, we’re not just asking what happened to Sid Reso. We’re asking something deeper—and maybe more unsettling: How did the people behind this crime convince themselves it would work? Where did it all go so wrong? And at every critical moment…what were they thinking?This is the story of the Sidney Reso kidnapping.

Behind the Fence: The Vanishing of Jennifer Kesse
May 1801:29:07Tap to summarizeOn the night of January 23rd 2006, Jennifer Kesse spoke to her boyfriend before going to bed. She set out her clothes for work. She went to sleep. And then she vanished. Jennifer was 24 years old. Independent. Smart. Safety conscious. She would never blow off work and she would never take off without an explanation. And yet, the next morning, Jennifer was just… gone.Join us for Behind the Fence: The Vanishing of Jennifer Kesse. This isn’t just a mystery. This is Jennifer’s story. Her car would later be found abandoned about a mile from her home. Her phone would never ring again. And the only image investigators have of her suspected abductor is a blurred figure walking away from a parking lot— his face hidden behind fence posts. For over twenty years, Jennifer’s family has lived with unanswered questions. No arrests. No closure. No idea what happened to the woman they love.

Crime or Tragedy? The Garrett Wilson Story
May 401:53:23Tap to summarizeThis story begins with a question that plagued investigators, doctors, and a jury: how did the life of an infant end, and how can we tell who was responsible when science and the law collide? In the hours, days, and years after Garrett Michael Wilson’s death, explanations moved from natural causes to something far more deliberate. As grief gave way to scrutiny and accusation, a case that had remained a family tragedy led to a criminal prosecution.Join us for Crime or Tragedy? The Garrett Wilson Story. In this episode, we follow the evidence that moved the case from the realm of unexplained loss into a courtroom, the testimony that carried extraordinary weight, and the decisions that closed the case officially while leaving lasting questions behind. This is not a story about reopening a verdict, but about understanding how investigators and courts decided that a death was a crime.SourcesAmerican SIDS Institute publishes top research priorities in sudden unexpected infant death, ttps://sids.org/american-sids-institute-publishes-top-research-priorities-in-sudden-unexpected-infant-death/, retrieved 4/18/2026.48 Hours: "Unmasking the Mastermind," CBS News, 7/20/2001.Criminal Minds & Methods, Garrett Wilson – Crime Library, retrieved 4/16/2026.While Innocents Slept: A Story of Revenge, Murder, and SIDS by Adrian Havill, 2011.Subscribe for ad-free, early, and bonus episodesRecord a voicemail for a future showContact UsShop TCB MerchBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-brewery--4126935/support.Record your voicemail at tiegrabber.com for our feedback segment or send us an email to truecrimebrewery@tiegrabber.comWe love receiving your feedback and most of our case choices come from listener suggestions!

Not Again! Waneta Hoyt´s Babies
Apr 2301:15:21Tap to summarizePlease listen to this 2021 members-only episode about sudden infant infant deaths which were determined to be homicide. We will be covering a new, similar case in May and I think listening to this episode is a good prequel.In 1985, authorities in New York State arrested a father who they believed had murdered his three children. In the course of the investigation, they became aware of a mother who claimed to have lost five children to SIDS. Thinking this was highly unlikely, they opened an investigation into the family. First, the family needed to be identified. Once this was done, the investigation of Waneta Hoyt moved right along, culminating in her trial for murder in 1995. Join us at the quiet end for Not Again! Waneta Hoyt’s Babies. This story of SIDS or infanticide or Munchausen by Proxy took many twists and turns before justice was done. At the heart of this story is the tragic and unnecessary end of five young lives and the question of how it took five suspicious deaths before Waneta Hoyt was stopped.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-brewery--4126935/support.Record your voicemail at tiegrabber.com for our feedback segment or send us an email to truecrimebrewery@tiegrabber.comWe love receiving your feedback and most of our case choices come from listener suggestions!

One Night Too Many Questions: The Moody Massacre
Apr 2001:46:40Tap to summarizeIn May of 2005, a quiet part of rural Ohio woke up to something no one was prepared for. By the time most people finished their morning coffee, six people were dead, one teenage girl was barely alive, and a town that thought it understood itself was now living inside a nightmare. Answers came fast. Too fast. And once they did, people were told the story was over—it was solved, wrapped up, and explained. But that is not how it felt then. And for a lot of people, it still does not feel that way now.Join us for One Night, Too Many Questions. This is not just a story about a violent night on a farm. It is about what happens after—when a community wants peace so badly it is willing to grab onto the first explanation that lets everyone breathe again. It is about the questions that never really went away, even when the official story said they should have. So we are slowing things down— taking a closer look at what happened, what was said, and the questions that still haven’t gone away.SourcesFormer detective sentenced for endangering teenage witness, The Columbus Dispatch, 5/29/2008.Massacre's survivor yet to receive inheritance, The Columbus Dispatch, 2/5/2009.Saving Stacy by Rob St. ClairTeen suspected in slayings of 5, NBCnews.com, 5/29/2005.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-brewery--4126935/support.Record your voicemail at tiegrabber.com for our feedback segment or send us an email to truecrimebrewery@tiegrabber.comWe love receiving your feedback and most of our case choices come from listener suggestions!

What Really Happened to Ellen Greenberg?
Apr 601:40:28Tap to summarizeIt was during a snowstorm, on a snow day in Philadelphia, when a young teacher was found dead in her apartment under very bizarre circumstances. Her name was Ellen Greenberg. She was 27 years old. She was engaged and she lived with her fiancé. Ellen’s fiancé called 911, and almost right away, investigators said they knew what happened. But then the story changed. And then it changed again.Join us today as we talk about what should have been a straightforward investigation that, over time. turned into something far more complicated. For years now, Ellen’s parents have been asking the same thing everyone else eventually starts asking when they look closely at this case: Does any of this make sense? We’re starting with who Ellen was, who the people in her life were, what is known about the day she died, and what has never been adequately explained. Because, more than a decade later, the core question is still hanging in the air: What really happened to Ellen Greenberg?SourcesEllen Rae Greenberg, https://gavinfish.com/cases/ellen-greenberg/Family of teacher who died from 20 stab wounds sues Philadelphia medical examiner to have suicide ruling changed, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Stephanie Farr, 10/16/2019.
