Join Katie and Liz on another episode of True Crime New England as they discuss a decades-long unsolved murder. 27-year-old Leslie Spellman was hitchhiking with her younger sister in June of 1977, when they separated ways to try and end up at different locations.

Due to the circumstances leading up to her death, like hitchhiking and being far from her home in Hingham, Massachusetts, the evidence of who did the crime was scarce.

Join the girls on this episode of True Crime New England as they go into the nitty and gritty details revolving around the infamous Boston Strangler killings that occurred between June of 1962 and January of 1964. Officially, 11 women were murdered, all with the same M.O., and hope of catching the killer didn’t seem to be possible until one day, several months after the murders stopped, a man named Albert DeSalvo confessed. He was never charged with the murders due to being stabbed to death while incarcerated for other crimes, and his confession is widely unaccepted by a lot of people who have been interested in the case for decades. 

On this week’s episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz discuss the tragic murder of Amy Theriault.

On May 31st, 2014, Amy was fatally stabbed and shot by her ex-boyfriend, Jesse Marquis, who was upset that she had ended their two-year-long relationship just the night before. Jesse was arrested after a manhunt that lasted nearly a week, and luckily he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Amy's family did not stop at getting justice and advocated for legislation in Maine for life in prison for murders related to domestic violence. This law, known as Amy's law, passed in 2019.

On this week’s episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz travel over 230 years back in time to the 1780s in New London, Connecticut, to tell the unfortunate story of 12-year-old Hannah Occuish, the youngest person in the United States to ever be executed. Young Hannah had not had an easy life, so when a local 6-year-old girl was found brutally beaten, Hannah was a prime suspect. She eventually confessed to the murder and in December of 1786, she was hung. But the question still remains… did the Native-American girl actually kill the wealthy farmer’s daughter?

This week on True Crime New England, Katie and Liz bring you the tragic story of a mother and son who were found dead in a fiery car crash just 500 feet from their home in Thornton, New Hampshire. Janet Dow and her son Stephen were found burnt beyond recognition on a December 1982 morning, and with the story that husband and stepfather Richard Dow gave, police believed the whole thing was just an extremely tragic accident. As a result, no investigation was performed, and the bodies were cremated with no autopsies. It wasn’t until 1993 when an ex-girlfriend of Richard’s came forward to local police and told a whole new story that would show the car accident was really no accident at all.
