Forgotten Felonies
Forgotten Felonies revisits historical crimes that were forgotten—or remembered incorrectly. It’s tempting, looking backward, to fill in the gaps with conclusions that feel obvious now. But that isn’t how history works. Through original newspaper reporting, period advertisements from the years the crimes occurred, and a blend of forensic psychology and genealogical research, each episode restores context to cases history left behind—asking not only what happened, but why.

just listened to the first half of you Baby John episode. Very cool. I actually live in Redding which is 40 miles from Weaverville. The irony is, I have a history podcast and have been compiling for an episode about Isabella. She was a real piece of work. Baby John is buried in Junction City near Weaverville (you probably already know that) and I'm going out there to the grave site this weekend hopefully. I followed your instragram -- you'll see me as "Box Number Seven" I'll Also be listening to you from here on out. Impressive level of detail on the early years for Isabella!
