The True Crime Librarian

Jennifer Joyce Kesse was just 24 years old when she vanished without a trace. Her family immediately took action with the hopes to find their loved one. 16 years later her face is still seen on missing person flyers around Orlando, her name is still spoken on investigative television shows and podcasts just like this one and still, no one knows what happened to this beautiful and young woman. The person to dump her car less than a mile from her condo is labeled the "Luckiest Person of Interest Ever". No one knows what happened to Jennifer and no one is giving up on finding her.

Robert Durst passed away January 10, 2022 days shy of the 40th anniversary of his wife going missing... foul play was suspected, and if anyone had opportunity and cause it would be none other than Robert Durst. But without a body or murder weapon, we can only speculate what happened that night of January 31, 1982.
The DA had just announced weeks prior to Robert's passing that they were reopening Kathie Durst's disappearance and that he was indicted as their offender in the case. Finding Kathie would be the needle in this haystack of a mess that this case is and we could finally put to rest a beautiful soul...

When the most unlikely person surfaces to help the Green River Task Force in their drive to stop the man creating terror in the King County area of Washington State, investigators have more than curiosity plaguing them with this offer for aide. There could be something here to learn and with the studies of John Douglas with interviewing serial killers, they can't help but hope that Ted Bundy possesses the key in finding their guy. But you have to wonder what the true intentions are of Bundy and if he is playing a game that only results in him escaping Ol' Sparky. 

Gary's longest cluster killing spree is coming to a close, then suddenly the earth around King County pushes his dirty secrets to the surface and the Task Force adapts to a new way of investigating as body after body surfaces and some are of women never even reported missing.

This is part 1 of the 2 part season 3 finale of the True Crime Librarian, stick with me as we close out a case that took nearly 3 decades to solve, and the man whose hunch it was that Ridgway was their guy will get the best gift of all when his guy was the one they've been looking for all along...

27 possible victims at this juncture in 1983, they weren't even halfway through the year and their killer was adding notches to his bedpost faster than they were finding the bodies of the missing. No matter where investigators focused their eyes Gary was 2 steps ahead...
Gary was developing a pattern, certain areas on the strip became his go-to spots, his dumping sites would be used until compromised, and his vehicle description changed so that no two could correctly identify him... he was smart and always felt superior to those hunting him down... he was perfecting his craft and it was taking less time from the minute he picked up a woman to the point he dumped her lifeless body somewhere in the surrounding forest and vegetation.
Parents were frantic to find their missing daughters, only to find that they fit the profile of the type of victim hunted by the Green River Killer... many were left to wonder what happened to their daughters for nearly 3 decades... Gary was working in overdrive and had no plans of slowing down...

The women are disappearing at an alarming rate from the Strip in King County Washington, Detectives are watching the waters and the sex workers in hopes to catch their guy. But when one many inadvertently put himself in the cross hairs of the Task Force, he provides a diversion for Gary Ridgway to keep picking up the workers and killing them at an alarming rate.
Gary is putting more and more pressure on himself to fulfill some these newest desires... he will crack under his own pressure and break his cardinal rule in his hunting routine and that could cause him to get caught and then his desire to kill will be snuffed out faster and more humane than his victims...

Sex Workers lining Pac HiWay were out to make the money they needed to make ends meet but now with multiple of their friends and colleagues turning up dead they took measures to save them from whoever is targeting them... only the man hunting was the same man they trusted most...

Investigators race against the clock to find Victoria Jo and bring her back home safely. Everyone questioned Lisa Marie and her tall tales of being pregnant until she is out and about the day following the birth of her and Kevin's "daughter" until people put together the online charade of Lisa Marie and help law enforcement solve this crime...

Bobbie Jo was welcomed into this world with a loving mother who would do anything to protect and care for her young daughter. Bobbie Jo grew into a woman knowledgeable in the world of breeding rat terriers, a person many in the tight-knit community of dog breeders that others looked up to. She was young, in love, and even more on the brink of starting her own family when a chance meeting turned obsession developed from her short time knowing Lisa Marie. But when a knock on her front door leads to her death and her premature baby in the arms of the killer no one suspected Lisa Marie until those closest to Lisa pointed the finger. This case turned federal the moment Bobbie Jo’s daughter crossed the state line with Lisa Marie as her new mother…

It feels GREAT to be back!  Tonight we are tackling another Captial Punishment case the difference is this is at the federal level. Fetal abduction and Federal Death row are two of the rarest things in the True Crime World, Lisa Marie Montgomery is the anomaly, she was sentenced to death by the federal government after she cut baby girl Stinnett from her mother's mutilated body. Bobbie Jo was left to die so that Lisa Marie could hold on to her husband who she feared was slipping away due to her being unable to provide him with a child. Tonight we take a long look at who Lisa Marie was before she became infamous...

John wasted five years of his life on a get rich quick scheme, and when that failed so did his marriage... yet again by his own hand. This time he wasn't going to be the one on the losing end of things like he had been with Michelle, this time Mary Jean would pay for embarrassing John, she would pay for being smug, and she would pay for constantly trying to put her in jail. He would take from her the two things she treasured more than her own life... their daughters.

19 minutes is all it will take to be convicted of capital murder charges in the state known for having an express lane to the death chamber.

Michelle has fought hard and it's almost time to cut John out of her life, but John is like aggressive cancer. He keeps popping back up each time she thinks he's gone for good. It will take her moving a state away and the good looks of Mary Jean Pearle to finally silence John. But John needs to make sure she learns her lesson, the lesson he had eight days to conjure up. 

John is far from tormenting the woman in his life, it's the only thing that makes him feel powerful...

What happens when the man you marry, the man that father's your children does the unthinkable? Michelle Ward Ghetti couldn't imagine the monster that lay in the pit of darkness within her new husband John. He had shown her a glimpse at who he would become and she wanted no part of that but when the pregnancy stick turned blue she was left with a decision; shame her family and have the child out of wedlock or marry the man that was capable of completely terrifying her?
John Battaglia was never capable of becoming a loving husband and father, he was raised in an abusive household. Losing his mother to suicide emotionally stunted John and the only living role model taught him to put his wife in her place by any means necessary. The desire to win over a father left John insecure and mentally unstable. Anything deemed an embarrassment needed to be fixed so the father he tried to impress wouldn't shame him for it. John had no idea what it took to have a wife and family and he certainly had no idea how to handle the mental disorder he most definitely had...

When do a mother’s intentions begin to raise flags of ill will? How far can abuse by Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy go before someone steps in and advocates for the victim? Dee Dee Blanchard was damn near perfect at manipulating people into doing not only what she wanted but what she felt she was owed in life and the cost of it all? Her daughter, Gyspy Rose Blanchard. Seeming the perfect mother-daughter relationship- Dee Dee was always quick to present herself and her daughter in any way they were asked; visitations with Gypsy father Rod was quickly agreed to but only on Dee Dee’s terms and only when she was positive that Gypsy would continue to act and do as a sickly child. Nothing was said or done without Dee Dee carefully scripting what was being said or how it was going to happen. Dee Dee’s childhood and well into her early adult life could set the precedence for the mental illness she harbored thanks to her own mother’s systematic doting from her own mother. Little did anyone know, Dee Dee would test her limits and see how the body would react when trying to trigger the symptoms of a disease she desired her child to be diagnosed with. All for the sake of attention and financial gain. Gypsy Rose Blanchard came into this world a happy, easy-going child. Her mother was her best friend, she didn’t see what others do in hindsight, she didn’t realize that living life day in and day out of hospitals was nothing more than abuse and torture… not until she was introduced to a world she desired so much. What Dee Dee never considered is her daughter’s desire for freedom and independence would be stronger than the fear she instilled into Gypsy…

Amanda Wienckowski died at the hands of a man who only cared about the things he wanted- tonight we are going to take a listen as I dig into the discrepancies of the Medical Examiner's reports. That of Dr. Dianne Vertes is short and never really showing conclusively that the manner of death was nothing more than a drug overdose. Dr Sylvia Comparini's report is thorough that you read and imagine the marks, bruises, cuts, and injuries without referring to any photographs or exhibits. These vast differences in these two reports should have brought more from Dr. Vertes and her staff instead she went into the defensive and even went as far as to say there was not referral to photographs when there were over 80 images and 12 exhibits referred to in the report. Can proving homicide really be this hard?

You can join Amanda's army by heading over to www.treatedliketrash.com, while there you can purchase merchandise or make a donation to Amanda's case. The monies raised are being used to exhume Amanda for a second time hopefully providing Erie County exactly what they need to change the manner of death in Amanda Wienckowski's case and bring it to the forefront of the District Attorney's office leading to justice for Amanda.

Arrest are finally made nearly 19 years later- but the amount of dead ends that this case sees is far more than any legend out there. We see false confession turned possible break through in an unsolved case where the couple were killed in the same manner as Danny and Kathy Freeman. The infamous serial killer Jeremey Jones makes an appearance with the false confession to the crime but you can't help but wonder as he has killed in the same manner. Three men known around town connected to underground meth world are the faces of evil in this case. Had investigators treated one piece of evidence differently then this entire case could have had a different ending. Now when Ashley and Lauria's name flashes in the headlines we all hope and pray with the Bible's and Freeman's that they are going to bring their girls home. In 2010 in a hushed courtroom the Freemans had Ashley declared legally dead. Lorene and Jay both understand why they did, they know that Lauria isn't out there waiting to be rescued, she and her best friend are out there ready to be brought home laid to rest.

Ashley and Lauria still missing while Lorene and Jay Bible fight to find them. But as the smoke settles it seems the only way to find out what happened was to follow the trail of drugs. Rural Northeast Oklahoma seems to be something out of a movie; drugs are either being processed or the consumption of drugs, all of that means who should you trust? Not the local law enforcement and not the OSBI, corruption is starting to show itself and you just might find yourself on the other side of what happened the night of December 30, 1999.

Jodi Arias’s smiling mugshot was shown on the television around the world. The girl next door who brutally murdered her ex-boyfriend and her story as to why keeps on changing.

Jodi’s life before Travis helped mold her into the insecurities that she displayed throughout her dating life- she feared trusting that she was enough and that her heart wouldn’t get hurt but with every chance she took Jodi seemed to be the one getting hurt until she met Travis.

Travis was finding success after what seemed to be a rocky start to life- he found a Church and religion that he believed in with every fiber of his being, even when the rules seemed to be unfair. Willing to work hard he expected to have fun harder and he was a man accustomed to getting what he wanted and when an exotic looking blonde walked into his life he knew he wanted her.

A friendship began under the neon lights in the city of sin- both working for the multi-marketing firm that brought Travis out of financial struggle and Jodi was praying would be her saving grace. What kindled under the lights that night was pure unadulterated lust burning a desire so deep in the two of them neither was capable of escaping it’s flames….

The investigation into the murders of Steven Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore is taking a turn- the statement early on from Investigator Gitchell regarding occult activity and Satanism is only going to grow bigger with the reports of a juvenile probation officer Jerry Driver. Unsuspecting teen, Damien Echols would earn himself a top spot on the top of Gitchell's suspects all because he was trying to find his way in the world, needing something to believe in. A teen with a low IQ would provide Gitchell the story he would need to take down Driver's boy, the only once capable of committing a murder like this, along with a quiet heavy metal, concert tee wearing 16 year old. The world would know their faces but they wouldn't get the whole story....

Faryion Wardrip's life continues to spiral and he is helpless to stop it. In an attempt to escape all the horrible things he did to women he didn't even know in Wichita Falls he heads south to Ft. Worth Texas, life has to be easier in the big city. Instead his path of destruction follows him and he takes the life of a young mother who never saw him coming.
A woman who left the only life she had ever known to chase love all the way to Texas had no idea that by doing so her fate would cross paths with a man and his incontrollable rage. None of these 4 victims ever even knew the man that screamed at them, punching and slapping them. All they knew was he was a monster and they were trapped with no way out.
A friend's life ends in the same manor as the victims before and this causes the tall dark haired man to take a step back... his confession will lead to tying together 3 cold cases and 1 no one in Wichita Falls knew about except for the killer...

Join me as we close out the case that forced us to the beginning to understand the story as a whole...
