  • Ep 299 - Robert Segee and the Hartford circus fire

    Ep 299 - Robert Segee and the Hartford circus fire
    Jan 13 2025
    In 1944, a fire at the Ringling Brothers circus in Hartford, Connecticut became one of the worst tragedies in American history, killing at least 168 people and injuring 700 more. Investigators blamed a carelessly thrown cigarette for igniting the flame that took down the big top. But six years later, all eyes turned to Ohio when a Circleville man confessed to setting the fire as a 15-year-old roustabout with the circus. Was he telling the truth? www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.

    Unresolved Ep 21: Robert Mirman
    Jan 8 2025
    For half a century, the Mirmans served an East Akron neighborhood as its local grocer, and everyone knew Robert Mirman, the third generation of the family to run the store. The Mirmans knew robberies were part of the business, and survived several of them. But in 1981, someone entered the store and stabbed Robert numerous times, killing him in a vicious act that was very uncharacteristic of a routine robbery. Forty-five years later, police still don't know who - or why. Unresolved is a collaboration between Ohio Mysteries and the Akron Beacon Journal. https://www.beaconjournal.com https://ohiomysteries.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    Ep 298 - Leslie Cross: And then there was one
    Jan 6 2025
    In the fall of 1984, the east side of Cleveland and its eastern suburbs were rocked by four chillingly-similar murders - all 14-year-old girls, strangled to death while going about their daily routine. But this was not the work of a serial killer. In time, police would catch and convict three killers in three cases, leaving one still-open homicide. The family of Leslie Cross, murdered on her way to deliver a birthday present and left in the hall of a Bedford Heights apartment building, is still waiting for justice. www.ohiomysteries.com feedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Additional music: New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.
