Katherine Knight certainly earned the nickname, The Black Knight. The crime she committed was so brutal that she is the first woman to be sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in Australia and details of this case are gruesome and disturbing, but pertinent to the case itself. We will give a warning before these details are discussed in the podcast.

This is still the deadliest act of school violence in the history of the US and by the time Andrew finished with his mass murdering plot, he and 44 other people, including 38 children and his wife, would be dead and another 58 seriously injured. Tonight we will take you through why and how this school board treasurer, angered by increased taxes, was able to bring such destruction and violence to Bath Township, Michigan.

On the evening of February 10th, 1984, 10-year-old Kevin Collins was on his way home from basketball practice. Witnesses reported seeing him waiting for the bus at around 6:30 pm, talking to a tall man. Kevin never made it home that night and since that night in February, has never been seen again. The early and mid-80s marked an increase in interest of missing children, particularly children who were victims of stranger abductions. Adam Walsh had been kidnapped a couple of years earlier and a movie about his kidnapping and murder was released shortly before Kevin’s disappearance. Kevin’s picture went nationwide and was circulated on billboards, milk cartons, and magazine covers. His case was used as an example of how parents could better protect their children from stranger abductions and police used this case to learn how to better address missing children reports to increase their chances of recovery. Despite the widespread attention, few leads came in regarding Kevin. Months turned to years and eventually his family accepted that he was probably not coming back. So who took Kevin? And what happened to him? This week we are going to discuss Kevin’s disappearance and what has transpired in the three decades since he has been missing. ***Support us by supporting our sponsors! www.kindsnacks.com/misconduct *** ***Remember to listen till the end for a promo from our pod friend Killafornia Dreaming!! *** Join Our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/misconductpodcast/ Check Us Out Online: http://www.misconductpodcast.com/ Like Our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/misconductpodcast/ Become a Patreon Supporter: https://www.patreon.com/misconductpodcast Donate: http://www.misconductpodcast.com/donate/ Find Us On Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/misconduct.-true-crime-podcast/id1191380648?mt=2 Find Us On Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/misconduct-a-true-crime-podcast?refid=stpr  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Nichole joins us this week as Colleen is under the weather. We are lucky that Nichole swooped in and saved the day! Now, onto the show… Velma Barfield was an American serial killer living in North Carolina. She had a rough upbringing and escaped her situation by marrying young. The marriage was overall a happy one, until an operation led to a behavioral change in Velma. The once happy couple turned bitter and argued constantly. This went on for years and one day Velma and the kids left the house and returned later to find their house burned and Velma’s husband dead. That would be the first of multiple suspicious deaths that Velma was connected to. There would be 4 more before someone placed an anonymous tip to the police. After the investigation was completed, questions still remained. Who was Velma? What made her decide to kill people? And are there even answers to these questions? ***Support us by supporting our sponsors! www.kindsnacks.com/misconduct *** ***Remember to listen till the end for a promo from our pod friend It’s About Damn Crime!! *** Join Our Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/misconductpodcast/ Check Us Out Online: http://www.misconductpodcast.com/ Like Our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/misconductpodcast/ Become a Patreon Supporter: https://www.patreon.com/misconductpodcast Donate: http://www.misconductpodcast.com/donate/ Find Us On Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/misconduct.-true-crime-podcast/id1191380648?mt=2 Find Us On Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/misconduct-a-true-crime-podcast?refid=stpr  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On patreon if you donate at the $25 dollar a month level you get to choose whatever true crime topic you would like and we will cover it on an episode. This is our first Patreon donor episode! Jozett has been a donor from very early on in the podcast, so we are excited that we get to research and bring you this content. Jozett wanted us to cover the murder of Elizabeth Short, who is more commonly known as the Black Dahlia. On the morning of January 15th, 1947 a woman was walking home with her young daughter in the Leimert Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. As the woman walked by an empty lot in a residential neighborhood, she was taken aback by what she thought was a broken mannequin lying the grass. Upon closer look, she realized that the mannequin lying in the grass was actually the body of a young woman. The face had obvious signs of trauma, noticeably deep cuts on the sides of her mouth. Her body had been completely cut in half and drained of blood. The case immediately became highly publicized and has remained so as it went from an open murder investigation to a Los Angeles urban legend. Even though there was a long list of potential suspects, the case has never been solved. We’re going to take you through what we know about Elizabeth Short, how she became the Black Dahlia, and the suspects in the case.

Nichole joins us again and takes us through the murder of Tanya Tarasoff; Tanya was being stalked by an acquaintance she knew from UC Berkeley. At the time, there weren't many laws or protections in place for victims of stalking. This case ends in tragedy but set in motion the creation of the duty to protect rule that mandates mental health professionals to warn potential victims that a patient has made threats against them.

Dusty Turner has been incarcerated for over 20 years for the 1995 murder of a woman named Jennifer Evans. At the time, Dusty had just completed his Navy SEAL tactical training in Virginia. He was out at a bar with some friends in Virginia Beach, including his roommate and swim buddy, Billy Brown. Due to a combination of false testimony and investigator error Dusty was sentenced to 82 years in prison for charges of first degree murder and abduction. Tonight we discuss how a good kid from a good family, who was well on his way to becoming one of the youngest Navy SEALS to graduate from training ended up sentenced to prison for over 80 years. We had the opportunity to talk to some of the people involved in trying to get justice for Dusty including JD, who created the documentary about Dusty’s case, Lisa, who runs the social media and website to bring awareness to his case and Linda, Dusty’s mother, who takes us through this ordeal.   Join Our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/misconductpodcast/ Check Us Out Online http://www.misconductpodcast.com/ Like Our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/misconductpodcast/ Become a Patreon Supporter https://www.patreon.com/misconductpodcast  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On August 14th 2004, 22 year old Lindsay Cutshall and her 26 year old fiancé Jason Allen were camping on Fish Head Beach near the mouth of the Russian River in Jenner, a small town in Sonoma County, California. They were on a weekend get away from the summer camp they both worked at and due to return back Sunday night. When they didn’t make it, the camp called the police and the couple’s parents. Three days later, their bodies were found on the beach. The events over the next 13 years will take investigators from California to Canada then New Mexico, before finally ending back where it all began in Sonoma County. This week we are discussing who killed Lindsay and Jason and how they were apprehended.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In 1979 three brothers and one young accomplice terrorized Richmond, VA and the surrounding areas for 7 months; leaving in their wake 12 victims where only two survived.  Once captured and sentenced, two being sentenced to death and sent to death row, they orchestrated one of the biggest and most sophisticated prison escapes in US history.

On September 9th, 1996, Sofia Silva vanished from her home in Spotsylvania Co, Virginia. A month later her body was found in a nearby county. With her suspected killer caught, her town believed that their children were safe; until seven months later when Kristen and Kati Lisk were taken from their front yard. Serial Killer Richard Marc Evonitz eluded the authorities for another five years. Evonitz’s crimes were discovered only when 15 -year old Kara Robinson courageously escaped his abduction.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In early 1999 two men were arrested in connection with a missing woman from Lindon, California. Law enforcement suspected the two of kidnapping and killing the woman, they just didn’t know why. What they did not expect was that they would end up with a serial killer case on their hands. The media dubbed the two the Speed Freak Killers, because their MO was to go on a meth bender and hunt for random victims. They operated purely on crimes of opportunity, yet alluded law enforcement for over 15 years.  Today we will discuss the two men, where they came from, their crime spree, and their ultimate undoing.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On the night of March 16th 1990, Toni Danieelle Clark was on her way home from her cousin’s house in Oakland, California. The car she was driving was having issues getting started but eventually she got the car running. As she was leaving her friend told her to call her when she got home, but Toni would never make that call. The car she was driving was later rear ended on the San Francisco Bay Bridge and there was no sign of Toni. Law enforcement believes that she was at the front of her car and the impact of the crash threw her over the side of the bridge into the water. No body was ever recovered and after a couple weeks, SFPD closed her case. Doubt lingers as to what happened to Toni. Was she thrown off of the bridge? Or did she fall victim to something worse?

Tonight we are discussing the case of William Morva. William Morva was in the Montgomery County, VA jail awaiting trial on attempted robbery charges. He was taken to a nearby hospital to treat an injury. William escaped custody at the hospital and fatally shot a hospital security guard and the next day he shot and killed a Sheriff’s Deputy. He was arrested a few hours later.

Sheila Fox was 6 years old when she disappeared on her way home from school in 1944 in Bolton, Lancashire, England. She was seen leaving the school but never made it home. Because of her young age, a search immediately began. Conflicting eyewitness accounts were given to investigators, but Sheila was never seen or heard from again. The case remained cold for 57 years. Then in 2001, the investigation became active again because law enforcement received a new tip. This was the first credible tip they had received in over half a century. Unfortunately, the tip went nowhere, but questions arose about other incidents in the area. Was Sheila an isolated incident? Or was there a serial offender responsible for multiple attacks in the area? Or were there multiple offenders operating in the area.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week we will be discussing the murder of Stacy Hanna. Stacy was an 18 year old woman who had just moved to Richmond, Virginia. She has recently relocated and had even found a group of friends. She was making a place for herself in the world and for the first time was feeling like she belonged. It would be her own friends that would turn on her and ultimately take her life. The attack Stacy suffered was long and brutal. The crime left the community shocked at the sheer magnitude of callousness and violence that was directed at one young woman. Why did they kill her? The reason would raise more questions than it would answer.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
