Delphi Murders - EP29 (AbbyandLibby.org)

Delphi Murders - EP29 (AbbyandLibby.org)

In this episode Sean and I chat about the mysterious murders of Liberty (Libby) German and Abigail (Abby) Williams. The 2 young ladies were murderered after getting dropped off at a local hiking trail / bridge. Thier bodies were found the  next day but the police are tight lipped on any kind of details about this investigation. They are very particular with what has been shared to date to t he public as they ask for help solving this case. We have our own thoughts and opinions and don't understand why certain decisions were made by authorities. We hope and pray that this doesn't turn into a cold case, like Maura Murray did 15 years ago where there are still no answers to this day.  There has to be more on the phone that can be shared with the public to help this case. Ultimately, someone knows something and they aren't talking.

Death of Conrad Roy III Part 1 - EP16

Death of Conrad Roy III Part 1 - EP16

Social anxiety, depression, pressures of society and social media, all those contributed to Conrad Roy III's death. This was a very hard case to investigate and research, it 's sad all around. Most of the news focus' on Michelle Carter and her trial, laws, conviction but what about Conrad? He has been lost among all the noise of Michelle and her legal case. There is so much to this story that people don't know, read or look up for themselves. Most opinions are based on headlines, articles or news stories. In this episode Sean and I take a look at Conrad's actions leading up to the night he killed himself, text messages that were sent and not just the incriminating ones. These 2 teenagers were both mentally ill or unstable and the public should be talking more about helping kids like Conrad and Michelle. What a tragedy this was and still is.

Unsolved Case of Holly Piirainen - EP15

Unsolved Case of Holly Piirainen - EP15

Holly just disappeared in a matter of minutes on Aug. 5, 1993 in Sturbridge, Ma while visiting her grandmother's summer home with her dad and 2 brothers.  The only item left behind was one of her red sneakers. There is not a ton of media attention around this case and with it being 26 years now since she disappeared, we are hoping to keep this case alive and make people aware.  

Sean and I cover the few details we found on this case along with a few suspects over the years, connection to Molly Bish case and Lisa Ziegert.

We also chat about, Hulu, deviled eggs and smiley face killers.

Do you have a case you'd like us to cover? We are always looking for interesting cases that we may not know about. Please drop us a line at criticalonions.com or send an email to criticalonions@gmail.com

Steve McNair True Crime Case - EP12

In this episode we reviewed the reports and statements about the Steve McNair murder - suicide case from July 4, 2009.  This case was closed by the Nashville Police dept but looking at all the details, was it really that simple to have this case closed only after 3 days if investigation?
