Cross Street & the Plymouth Coupe - the Cold Case of Janet Shanahan

from Histories of Horror · host Sai Marie Johnson and AL Knuckles

This episode of Histories of Horror we discuss the 57-year old cold case of Cross Street in Eugene, Oregon and Janet Shanahan's brutal sexual assault and murder - found later in the trunk of her car with no tips on who killed her, and countless questions left behind in her wake. The HOH community is facing two major situations, and we are asking for your support to help us keep moving forward:AL is still recovering from surgery. This is a heavy physical and financial burden, and we want to surround her with as much relief as possible. Please consider contributing to her GoFundMe to help cover medical costs and recovery.⁠Support AL's GoFundMe here!⁠Sai Marie got unlawfully arrested in Los Angeles on March 28th while on assignment representing the Authors of the Resistance at No Kings LA. However, being "boots on the ground" came with additional daily costs, and after being arrested and freed with no charges due to being press, Sai was mistreated and abused - forced to crawl into the paddy wagon when she never should have been detained in press gear. She was arrested with Dave the Viking, who was cited for failure to disperse despite there being no audible order to disperse given on the ground by the LAPD. ⁠Dave also needs assistance, and if you'd like to help him you can do so here!⁠We are looking to raise support for the legal fight and travel expenses to ensure she can focus entirely on the mission while there.If you value the work being done here and want to help fuel this trip, please consider sending a gift through any of the following:⁠Venmo⁠⁠CashApp⁠⁠BuyMeACoffee⁠Every bit of support—whether a donation or a share—makes a massive difference in our ability to stay independent and vocal. Thank you for standing with us.
