Elma Sands and the Manhattan Well Murder
If there had been true crime podcasts in the year 1800, this sensational murder trial would have been a hot topic under discussion: a young woman was killed just before Christmas in New York City, on the night she was to elope with her lover. The prime suspect was Levi Weeks, her presumptive fiancé, but he denied to authorities they had any relationship – and his defense team was the hottest trio of lawyers in town. This is the story of Elma Sands, and how the criminal justice system never established what really happened to her or who was to blame.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Holly and Maria look at how the case unfolded, and how more than 40 years later, the identity of the person who tampered with Tylenol is still unknown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Was Jeannette DePalma's Death an Occult Sacrifice, a Crime of Opportunity, or Something Else?

That afternoon, she told her mom she was going to see friends, but when she didn't return later that evening, her mother called the police; the police discovered she never made it to her friend's house. When her body was discovered six weeks later, investigators suspected she may have overdosed; many others suspected she was sacrificed in an occult ritual. Five decades later, it's still a mystery.
