The Kid - Part 2

Murder In The Rain ·

2025/11/11

In our previous episode, I told the backstory of Kristin Tomlin, a 20 year old woman who has been missing for 44 years. Almost all of the information in that episode came from the book Kristin Can You Hear Me, and an interview I did with its author, and friend of Kristin, Teresa Letcher. For those who loved and continue to miss Kristin, their biggest frustrations have come from what feels like a lack of investigation. There was so much hubbub surrounding the people Kristin had been with last and

When I received an email from Teresa Letcher about her missing friend, I was surprised I hadn’t heard of the case. Not because I’m so well-versed; I’m often introduced to cases I’ve never heard of. I was surprised to not know of the disappearance of Kristin Tomlin, Teresa’s childhood friend, because the case is so bizarre, intriguing and scandalous!Over the next two episodes, I’ll be discussing Kristin Tomlin’s life growing up in the Portland area, and the upsetting string of events that led to her

Just over two years ago, news broke about a murder that shocked everyone, especially those in the podcasting community. An obsessive fan gunned down a young woman and her husband. It’s the nightmare of anyone who puts themselves in the public eye. For Zoreh Sadegi, the danger was worth it, as she cared deeply about helping those in the Farsi tech community.

Melissa, Alana's Aunt, along with Joyce, Alana's Grandmother, wanted to share Alana’s story. For someone who didn’t know Alana, her disappearance can be easily ignored, forgotten, or dismissed. As is the case with anyone who disappears or is murdered, there is so much more to the story and person. Alana wasn’t disposable

On July 9th, 1967, 20-year-old Susan Galvin was taking her usual route to her night shift at the Seattle Police Department. When she failed to show up for two shifts, she was reported missing. 5 days later, her body would be found lying strangled in an elevator. Investigators searched for the culprit, but all leads were dead ends. That was until forensic genetic genealogy was developed, and finally, a name was connected to the evidence that had been collected more than 50 years earlier. Support this

On July 26th, 1979, the front page of the long-defunct Oregon Journal had coverlines “Playboy’s perfect ‘playmate’”, “taxpayers missing the boat” and “Democrats back Carter gas plan”. Just beneath those, the main headline read “Woman, 20, strangled in bed here”. Paired with a photo of a young woman’s face adorned with a now heartbreaking smile. Her name, was Anna Marie Hlavka. And it would take 40 years for her killer to be named, though he would never have to face the consequences for what he did

On Christmas Eve 1977, 47 years ago, a murder took place. There's a bevy of possible suspects, even motives, but no one has been brought to justice.

Found in possession of Bassett's vehicle and belongings, DeCasto Mayer and his mother Mary Smith were found guilty only of grand larceny in the case, as the murder of Gene Bassett could not be proven.
