America’s Highway Serial Killers /// Part 1 /// 590

America’s Highway Serial Killers /// Part 1 /// 590 Part 1 of 4 www.TrueCrimeGarage.comThis week we start off by looking at an unsolved homicide of a young woman from California. Twenty two year old Kristin Alice Schmidt’s body was recovered from a State Park in Oregon. She was killed elsewhere and her body dumped and discovered by campers. As we started to look at Kristin’s still very active case investigation we learned that something larger may be at hand. Something so much larger than any one investigation. Something larger than an Oregon state investigation. America has a problem that was first identified back in the 1980’s. In April of 2009 the F.B.I. announced their Highway Serial Killings Initiative to raise awareness among law enforcement agencies and the general public about this issue and the F.B.I.’s offered assistance in these cases. Beer of the Week - Tropical Beer Hug from Goose Island Beer Company Garage Grade - 4 out of 5 bottle caps Recommended Reading - “ I ” The Creation of a Serial Killer by Jack Olsen Our show - True Crime Garage “Off the Record” is available only on Stitcher Premium.

Asenath Dukat /// Part 2 /// 584

Asenath Dukat /// Part 2 /// 584Part 2 of 2www.TrueCrimeGarage.comThis week we are taking a look at a local Cold Case. 3rd grader Asenath Dukat was abducted and murdered on a short walk home through her neighborhood in 1980. This all took place in a very safe neighborhood or so we thought. What was learned was that Asenath’s case was just one of several attempted abductions and assaults of similar victims. Now forty two years later, there is still no justice for this little girl and her family. A special thanks goes out to the good people of The Long Walk Home. This is a local project dedicated to Asenath, the Dukat family, the UAPD and the good people of Upper Arlington, Ohio. Their extensive and brilliant work on Asenath’s case has helped to keep this case alive and the investigation “active.” For a complete case review and study please visit them at www.LongWalkHomeUA.comBeer of the Week - Uni-Chrome by Pipeworks Brewing Co. Garage Grade - 4 and a half bottle capsOur show - True Crime Garage “Off the Record” is available only on Stitcher Premium.
