Forgotten True Crime: Recent Episodes
Trevor Shelby
Join proud Host, Trevor Shelby, as he digs into the most interesting stories that show the darker side of True Crime. Every episode we will feature a true crime story that has been forgotten through time. We will cover Cold Cases, Missing Persons, Serial Killers, and Horrible Crimes that happened in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
A justice of the peace comes half out of his chair and threatens to throw a defense attorney in jail — in open court, in a case where a police officer is dead. Five weeks later, the prosecution decides the lawyer was right, and asks to throw out its own hearing and start the whole thing over.
That's how Part Two begins.
This is Part 2 of 2. Start with Part 1 — this one will make a great deal more sense.
In January of 1953, the State of Oklahoma finally put Jacquelyn Kay Beaman on trial for the murder of her husband, Officer Delbert Ira Beaman. It took three days. She took the witness stand in her own defense, and her attorney asked her one question — and what happened next stopped the trial cold.
Then, with the testimony finished, a legal argument happened in that courtroom that I would give almost anything to have a transcript of. The prosecution asked the judge for something prosecutors almost never ask for. The defense objected — and told the court that on this evidence, the crime was "murder or nothing."
The judge agreed with them. And twelve people — seven women and five men — were handed a choice with nothing in the middle of it.
Part Two is the hearing, the trial, the verdict, and everything that came after: what the dead man's family did four months later, what the prosecutor did before the verdict was even read, and how a case with this much in it ended up as one dry sentence in a law journal that nobody has looked at since 1954.
And it's what happened to her. Which took me two thousand miles from Oklahoma City, and is not what I expected to find.
CONTENT NOTE: This episode involves the shooting death of a young man, a criminal trial, and discussion of a medical condition that was badly understood in 1952. Listener discretion is advised.
This is a crossover episode with Okie Investigations, my show about crimes from my home state.

If you know anything about the Beaman family of eastern Oklahoma County, the Collins family of Sasakwa, or where Officer Delbert Beaman is buried — I would very much like to hear from you. Section29.com.
On a Sunday night in July of 1952, an Oklahoma City police officer was shot once in the stomach with his own .38 service revolver, in a garage apartment on Northwest Eleventh Street, during an argument with his wife about a five-dollar bill.He got himself down the stairs to a neighbor's door. He named the person who shot him. And then, in an emergency room at Mercy Hospital, in the last two hours of his life, he said one more thing to a police lieutenant — a sentence that twelve people would ask to hear read out loud again, seven months later, before they decided what to do.This is Part 1 of 2.Part One is the story of how two people got into that room: a country boy from south of Spencer who went to a school called Star and grew up to ride a scoutcar, and a girl from Sasakwa, down in Seminole County, who married him on the day after Thanksgiving. It's the night it happened. It's the arrest, and the sentence she said to the investigating officers that every newspaper in Oklahoma put in a headline before a single witness was sworn.And it ends with the thing I found out about Jacquelyn Beaman that changed the way I read this entire case.Part 2 — the courtroom — is where this goes next.This episode is built from twenty-one Oklahoma newspaper articles, a marriage license, a census page, and a court opinion so short and so dry that this case sat forgotten for seventy-three years. As far as I can tell, nobody has told this story since the people in it were alive.CONTENT NOTE: This episode involves the shooting death of a young man and a marriage that went wrong fast.

Phoenix, January 1932. Winnie Ruth Judd goes on trial for her life — and on the first morning, before a single juror is seated, her lawyers tell the room she will not be taking the stand.
She never does. Twelve men sentence her to death without once hearing her voice.
Part Three is the trial, the verdict, and the sixty-seven years that came after. Spectators fighting hand to hand at the courtroom door. A state chemist and a state physician who could not agree on which room two women died in. A prosecution that rested its case without ever mentioning the bullet wound in her hand. Her own mother, taking an oath about her daughter that no mother should have to take. A jury out for less than three hours. And a handkerchief the defence had been quietly pointing at for six weeks without telling anybody what it was.
Then, under sentence of death, the woman who would not speak to save her own life talks for days to take a man down with her — and the only official in Arizona who ever said out loud that he believed her says it while setting that man free.
This is also the part where the record finally answers some of what it has been refusing to answer for two episodes, and flatly refuses to answer the rest. Nobody has ever established where the rest of Hedvig Samuelson is.
Everything here comes from the historical record: more than twenty newspapers across four states, from October 1931 to January 1933, read page by page — plus the Arizona Supreme Court's own written opinion in the case, and an Associated Press obituary filed sixty-seven years later.
The full account of her testimony against Jack Halloran — far more of it than would fit in this episode, in her own words — is up at Section29.com.
This is the final part of three.

Phoenix, Arizona. October, 1931.
Saturday night, half past ten. A truckman named Richard Swartz pulls up to a little white stucco duplex on an unpaved street and finds the house completely dark. He rings the bell. Keeps ringing it. Finally a young woman opens the door with every light in the place out behind her, and tells him she's giving up the flat — the electricity's been disconnected.
She leads him through a black bedroom and points at a trunk.
He can't lift it. It takes three men. And when he asks what she's got in there that makes it so heavy, she tells him: books.
Four days later, detectives are walking through that house room by room, and it is telling them everything.
What unfolds over the week that follows is the country taking one woman's entire life apart in about thirty-six hours. A garage in a small Illinois town in 1922. A state asylum record belonging to her husband. Two straight razors in a medicine cabinet. A dying schoolteacher's diary, found on a bloodstained bedroom floor and printed in an afternoon paper for anyone with three cents. A wealthy lumberman counting money in a lit window. And a coroner's jury that sits through four days of evidence, listens to her own brother testify, and then refuses to write her name down.
This is Part Two of the case the newspapers called the Trunk Murders.
Part Three is coming.
Content warning: this episode deals with the murder of two young women and includes descriptions of violence, including dismemberment, as well as drug addiction, terminal illness, and the 1931 press's treatment of two women's private lives. Listener discretion is advised.

Los Angeles. October, 1931.
Somewhere in the desert night, on the overnight train from Phoenix, a sleepy baggageman notices something seeping from the corner of a trunk. He's seen this before — hunters are always trying to sneak deer meat past the railroad. So he writes out two red warning cards, tags the trunks, and goes about his work.
By Monday noon, a calm, well-dressed young woman is standing at the baggage window of the Southern Pacific station, asking for those trunks. The baggage master won't release them. He asks her to open them. She doesn't have the keys, she says — she'll be right back.
She never comes back.
What unfolds over the next seventy-two hours will become the biggest crime story in America — a story of two trunks, a bandaged hand, a devoted little brother asked for one impossible favor, and a woman who steps out of a Ford roadster into the lunch-hour crowds on Broadway... and vanishes. In the same week the whole country dims its lights for Thomas Edison, a hundred detectives are hunting one twenty-six-year-old minister's daughter through the dark.
This is Part One of the case the newspapers called the Trunk Murders.
A correction: in this episode I say this story will be told in two parts. I was wrong — there's simply too much story. The Trunk Murders will be a three-part series.

On a dark Wisconsin highway in November of 1939, two lawmen were driving two teenage boys home to answer for a stolen car. It should have been the most routine night of the week. And then a gun went off inside the car.
Minutes later, the two officers were lying handcuffed together in a roadside ditch, the boys were gone in a stolen sheriff's car — and one of the most beloved small-town police chiefs in Wisconsin was dead, without a mark on him.
This is the story of Chief Roland "Tod" Payne — a man whose entire life's work was keeping boys out of trouble — and of the two boys who killed him. It's a story of a five-hundred-mile manhunt through the frozen Northwoods, a funeral that shut down a whole city, and a question a prosecutor, a coroner, and a grand jury all wrestled with and never cleanly answered: if a man dies like this, can you charge the boys who were fighting him with his murder?
And it's all told through the eyes of the one man who was in that car and lived — the undersheriff who spent that night handcuffed to his dying chief.

On a December evening in 1928, a woman walked up to the door of a coal dealer's home outside Canton, Ohio, called him out onto the porch, and emptied a pistol into him. Then she turned and walked, not ran, to the bus stop, and vanished into the night. For eight days, the papers had a name for her: the Phantom Gun Woman.
But when they finally learned who she was, the shooting turned out to be the least complicated part of the story.
This is the story of Vernard Fearn, of the wife who killed him, and of her husband, a mild-mannered furnace salesman who would become the first person in American history charged with a crime called "moral murder." A crime you commit not with a gun, not with your hands, but with a single sentence.
Told through the eyes of the man everyone called mild, this is a case about a marriage, a confession, a shot fired on a lonely road and a question the law had never faced before, and may never have truly answered.

On a Sunday night in August of 1926, four men stood inside an old log house in the hills of Greene County, Tennessee, holding a search warrant and a lantern. They were looking for a missing girl — a twelve-year-old named Novella Winkle, who had been staying with the couple who lived there, and who had simply vanished. The woman of the house told everyone the girl had gone home.
She walked the men to the cellar herself. She handed them an axe to pry up the boards. They looked inside, found rags and rocks and nothing else, put the planks back down, and left.
They were sure they'd missed something. They were right. Within thirty-two hours, this quiet little hollow would become the biggest story in the state of Tennessee.
Novella lost her mother at ten. Her father remarried, and she went to live with her grandfather — an old man with no money, no power, and no way to give her the life he thought she deserved. So when a childless, church-going couple offered to take her in, buy her clothes, and raise her as their own, it must have felt like a prayer answered. For three weeks, everything looked like a rescue.
This is the story of what really happened in that house on Middle Creek, told through the eyes of the grandfather who handed her over — and who refused to let it go.
⚠️ Content warning: This episode involves the murder of a child and contains descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised.
📖 There's a book. Down in the Cellar: The Murder of Novella Winkle by Trevor Shelby lays out the full case — every version of the killing, all the evidence, and the questions the record never answered. Available soon on Amazon.

Forgotten True Crime is officially back — and we're relaunching with a story that has everything.
Oklahoma City, 1933. A highway officer keeps a .45 in his bureau drawer. A basketball star from Denver is sleeping in his guest room. And at 4:30 in the morning, his wife wakes up screaming that there's a strange man in her bed. Thirteen hours later, that houseguest is shot five times at a gas station while reading a newspaper — and on his deathbed, he insists it was an accident, lying to protect the man who killed him.
There's an 8-year-old girl on the witness stand swearing on "Jesus's big book," a mystery houseguest the record barely names, and a judge who stood up and told a courtroom that "the unwritten law is not in effect in Oklahoma." The papers called it an honor slaying. The more you look at it, the less honorable it gets.
This is also a crossover with Okie Investigations.

I have spent quite a bit of time on this case because I wanted to answer this one simple question, was the torch slayer a serial killer? The basic definition of a Serial Killer is someone who commits a series of murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable behavior pattern. Because of how things were handled, you probably never heard of the Torch Slayer, and if you had, you only knew of his one victim. But today, we are taking a deep dive into this crazy story.
This story first took place in February of 1928. A woman named Margaret Brown is getting ready to start a new chapter of her life. Little does she know, it's the final chapter.

This episode comes from the book Celebrated Criminal Cases of America and is in the public domain. It was written by Thomas Duke. The cool thing about this series is that this book is widely thought of as one of the first true crime storybooks to be published in the US.
Now, here is the fun part… for me, at least. I am going to do what I can to research these cases. They range from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, and I will see what I can find. Did these cases happen as they are told? What was left out of the story? I am eager to find out! Check out our blogpost at truecrime.blog where you can compare the evidence I found against the story as it was written.
What happens when the cousin of famous outlaws, is let out of prison early and tries to pick up the family business? This is the unique story of Ernest Oglesby and the murder of Officer Douglas Gates.

It's almost October and we are starting our ghostly stories a little early this year! In this episode, we are telling the bizarre story of Ella Myers. One that does involve a bit of mystery and folklore. I want to personally thank the Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum for filling in the many blanks in this story. After I found the original news articles on this story, they were void of much information. The Pawnee Bill Ranch and Museum were able to fill in those blanks for me. They did a live reading of this story on Facebook, and it was very well done. If you get the chance, check them out at www.pawneebillranch.org/ and their Facebook page at Facebook.com/pawneebillranch (all one word). They have many events coming up, including a Ghost Stories Candlelight tour in October. They also recreate the Original Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show every year.
If you have heard this story before, I will warn you that you have not heard it this way. This is the story of Ella Myers and the Guthrie Ghost with Blood Red Hands.
In this episode, we are returning to the great state of Oklahoma and to a case that took place just miles from where I live but happened a little over 82 years ago. We will cover the disappearance of Eudora Cunningham, a beautiful Oklahoma City Socialite whose family was well known in the community. Her Husband Roger Cunningham believes she left him, other suspect something more sinister is going on. But before we get started, please subscribe to the podcast if you have not done so already. This entire production is done entirely by myself. This includes research, writing, recording, editing, graphics, social media, and promotion. So this one act can help us out quite a bit. Plus, when we have new episodes, you will be the first to know. Now, enough self-promotion, let's start this story.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Okie Investigations. I am very happy to say that after a short few months, we are back on the air and will be better than ever. We now have our own studio and research office. I hope you all have been well over the last few months. I want to thank all of you who have reached out wondering what's been going on. I’m not the best at replying to those sorts of things but I want you all to know that we’re ok, just been going through a lot of changes here, which resulted in the show's upgrade.
Today we are telling the story of the Buried Bodies Case - Part 1 - The Robert Garrow Story. In this episode, we are focusing on the victims in the case.
Just a few formatting changes. We are no longer going to load the show with advertisements. We kept these to as few as we could and Anchor has been great with helping us earn enough to pay the overhead of the costs of running this show and the truecrime.blog website. But, we have some ideas on how to cover those costs down the road, so I thought it would be cool to reward you all with ad-free shows. If you do hear an advertiser or commercial in this broadcast, it didn't come from us, it probably came from the platform that you are listening from or our platform forced them on.
But enough of that. If you want to know more about what's going on with the show you can find us on facebook facebook.com/okieinvestigations and on our website truecrime.blog.
This episode contains sensitive topics such as rape, murder, and abduction which may be a trigger for some listeners. Listener discretion is advised.
