This podcast is comprised of episodes created by myself and students enrolled in my two sections of Freshman Honors Colloquium at Kent State University. Based on their year-long inquiry into psychopathology, media studies, literary and film criticism, rhetoric, dark tourism, and true crime, these groups of students must decide the case they cover, how they prioritize information they've independently gathered and analyzed about their case(s), and how they employ rhetorical appeals to connect with their listeners. They research, write, record, and edit each episode. Join us!

<p>Authors: Maddie VanDamme and Lizzy Spurlock</p><p>Description: Previously made infamous by the docuseries Dead North, this episode covers the twisted and disturbing case of Chris Regan. Chris disappeared in 2014 from a small secluded town in the thick forests of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Throughout this episode, we follow the lead detective from Iron River PD, Chief Laura Frizzo, as she untangles the web of obstacles and evidence to find Chris Regan. Since this case has already been solved, we will introduce and discuss the many theories that were once believed until justice was eventually served. "A Killer Barbecue" will have listeners on the edge of their seats, especially when a seemingly friendly neighbor cook-out takes a potentially devastating turn. </p><p>Sources:</p><p><a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/devil-woman-investigators-cracked-2014-murder-michigan-resident/story?id=99869387" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ttps://abcnews.go.com/US/devil-woman-investigators-cracked-2014-murder-michigan-resident/story?id=99869387.</a></p><p><a href="https://whatliesbeyond.boards.net/thread/8429/couple-served-murder-victim-barbecue" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://whatliesbeyond.boards.net/thread/8429/couple-served-murder-victim-barbecue.</a></p><p> Jason Fox, Executive Producer.

<p>Author: Willa Sabelko</p><p>Description: The infamous Zodiac Killer was a serial killer in the Bay Area in the late 1960s who claimed to "like killing people because it's so much fun." There are five confirmed victims, but the killer claimed to have killed 37, and some say it may have been even more. The case has never been solved despite the many arguments made and evidence found against more than one suspect. This episode focuses on the evidence against the police's only named suspect, Arthur Leigh Allen. Since the case is unsolved, victims and their families have never gotten justice, and a killer walked free.</p><p>Sources:</p><p><a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/81681626" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Netflix - "This is the Zodiac Speaking"Links to an external site.</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Zodiac-killer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Britannica - Zodiac killer.</a></p><p><a href="https://www.today.com/popculture/zodiac-killer-arthur-leigh-allen-rcna176996" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TODAY.com - Who was Arthur Leigh Allen?
