Samantha Josephson, a 21-year-old University of South Carolina student, was murdered in March 2019 after mistakenly getting into a car she believed was her Uber outside a Columbia bar.

The Axeman of New Orleans was an unidentified serial killer who terrorized the city between May 1918 and October 1919, breaking into homes and brutally attacking mainly Italian grocers and their families with an axe found on the premises. His crimes left at least six dead and many wounded, but he was never caught or identified. The killer famously sent a taunting letter to the local newspaper, claiming he’d spare any household playing jazz music on a particular night—prompting New Orleans to fill the streets with music in one of history’s strangest attempts at appeasing a murderer.👉 Go Ad-Free, Join Our Next Livestream, & Support Us @ https://patreon.com/talkmurder👉 Subscribe & Follow @ https://linktr.ee/talkmurdertomeContent warning: the true crime stories discussed on this podcast can involve graphic and disturbing subject matter.

Tara Grinstead, a 30-year-old high school teacher and former beauty queen from Ocilla, Georgia, vanished from her home in October 2005 and wasn’t found, sparking one of the biggest missing-person searches in the South. In 2017, Ryan Duke was arrested and confessed to breaking in to steal money for drugs, strangling her when caught, and—along with former classmate Bo Dukes—burning her body in a pecan orchard. However, Duke later recanted, blaming Dukes instead, and at trial Duke was acquitted of murder and convicted only of concealing Grinstead’s death, receiving a 10-year prison sentence while Dukes got 25 years for helping cover up the crime and burning Tara’s body. To this day, some details remain unknown and most of Tara’s remains have never been recovered.👉 Go Ad-Free, Join Our Next Livestream, & Support Us @ https://patreon.com/talkmurder👉 Subscribe & Follow @ https://linktr.ee/talkmurdertomeContent warning: the true crime stories discussed on this podcast can involve graphic and disturbing subject matter.
