110. SWAC SNACK- Kurt Sova REVISITED- Interview with Police Chief John Majoy Part 1 of 2
from Speculating Wildly About Crime (SWAC POD) · host SWAC Pack
Jamie and Kristy revisit the 1981 death of 17-year-old Kurt Sova, found in a Newburgh Heights, Ohio ravine after disappearing from a party, and share an interview with Chief John Majoy about the case. Majoy explains how the case was reopened years later after a box of records was found during a station move, leading to a partnership with Tiffin University, a tip line, and Crime Stoppers involvement. He critiques the original 1981 investigation as incomplete and discusses modern investigative practices that weren’t used then. Majoy describes re-interviewing and polygraphing key figures, including last-known companion Sam Carroll (whom he says was eliminated and later died), the homeowner, and others, and addresses leads involving “Tank,” the Cavett case similarities, the “Franco” van sighting, and other Unsolved Mysteries-related claims as unsubstantiated. Please don't forget to tune in next week for part 2 of 2, and our conclusion!Support the showJoin our Discussion Group- (4) Speculating Wildly About Crime (SWAC POD) Discussion Group | FacebookFollow us on Facebook- (4) Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093283626257)Follow us on Instagram: Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/swacpod/)Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@swac.pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcLink to You Tube: (4) SWACpod - YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@SWACPOD)Music licensed from Premium BeatGroovy by INPLUSMUSIC
