Headed to VA tomorrow with sons for college tour... never listened to a true crime podcast but seems like a good way to kill 5+ hours in the car with 2 teen boys.
any good recs?
(I already downloaded The Apology Line - so if anyone wants to weigh in on that one specifically, please do)
I used to listen to listen to Crime Junkie because they were so comically bad and then (I think) got in trouble for plagiarizing.
Some chilling stories out there over time. That Yogurt Shop one from 1991 STILL pisses me the fuck off.
-Up and Vanished
-Bear Brook
Started season 2 on the way to Ohio a week later. Both made the drive go quickly.
Box of Oddities (covers strange, weird, and mysterious things)
In the dark
Disappearance of Jennifer Kesse
Sodder children disappearance
Disappearance of Tara Calico (Polaroid picture girl)
are a few spooky cases
Wasn't he the same guy who killed the prostitutes near Atlantic City?
In the Dark was pretty good too. Gotta echo Serial S1.
Also, what colleges in VA are you planning to visit?

thats 1 theory. they have never arrested anyone.
a suffolk county police chief is a suspect as well
quick in and out but want my boys to get a feel for the area... we really only know the Northeast.

Cool. You should check out UVA on the way to Harrisonburg. Even if its not a choice, its a beautiful campus.

I remember the AC killings as if it were yesterday. Sad they never found out who did it. I think they knocked down that motel, in recent years.
I wrote an article about the story in The SandPaper on LBI.
I have subsequently watched the HBO/Amy Berg "Case Against Adnan Syed" and was just shocked his granting of a new trial was overturned.
Of course I can't say what actually happened but I can't believe for 1 second based on everything I have heard and read that he deserved to be found guilty.
crazy stuff. and appreciate the recs.
and in case anyone is interested, we absolutely fell in love with James Madison Univ... I am truly hoping one of my sons goes there so I can visit!
Serial season 1 is top notch. I didn’t care for the HBO special though, was a rehash of the podcast and not done as well.
What I liked about the HBO special is more than anything is the visuals it game me - seeing the people whose voices I had only heard previously... plus it took the story further, right up to the new trial reversal... so if nothing else, it brought me up to date whereas Serial stopped updating as far as I know.
