What happened to them left lasting wounds for their families and their community.Decades passed with no major suspects, and the double homicide became one of New Jersey’s oldest cold cases. “It’ll never get solved”, many thought.

No one has ever been charged.For more than 30 years, Tina’s family has lived with unanswered questions and growing doubts about the investigation.

On October 21, 2021, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on the set of the film Rust, a tragedy that shook Hollywood and the world.In this episode, we explore how a series of missteps, overlooked safety protocols, and human error led to her death.

In this bonus episode, Method & Madness presents an episode from the podcast "Unforbidden Truth". On this week's episode, Andrew speaks with deceased serial killer, Billy Chemirmir. Billy Chemirmir is a Kenyan-American convicted serial killer known for his crimes in the United States. Born in Kenya in 1969, Chemirmir immigrated to the U.S. in the early 2000s. He gained notoriety for a series of murders targeting elderly women, primarily in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas. Chemirmir's modus operandi involved posing as a caregiver or maintenance worker to gain access to his victims' homes. Once inside, he would often smother them with a pillow or use other methods to kill them, then steal their valuables. His criminal activities spanned from 2016 to 2018, during which he was able to evade capture for a significant period.The breakthrough in his case came when he was arrested in March 2018 for a suspected murder. As investigators dug deeper, they linked him to multiple other deaths, leading to his conviction. Chemirmir was found guilty of several charges, including multiple counts of capital murder. His case drew significant media attention due to the heinous nature of his crimes and the vulnerabilities of his victims. Chemirmir's trial and conviction highlighted issues related to elder care, safety, and the challenges of detecting and preventing such targeted crimes.This interview was recorded while Chemirmir was on trial for capital murder. On September 19, 2023, Chemirmir was killed by his cellmate at the Coffield Unit in Tennessee Colony, Anderson County, Texas. Chemirmir, who was 50 years old, was allegedly attacked by Wyatt Busby. Busby was serving a 50-year sentence for the 2016 stabbing death of a man from the Houston area. Before his death, Chemirmir had reportedly made inappropriate comments about his cellmate's children.Find out more:unforbiddentruth.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/method-madness--6241524/support.

Today we’re headed to New York City, where in May of 2022, 33-year-old John Umberger walked out of the townhome where he was staying - and headed to dinner with some friends. John, the social creature he was, met with more friends at a rooftop bar.  After midnight, John made his last stop;  the Q, an LGBTQ nightclub in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen Neighborhood.  After leaving the Q, nobody heard from John again. He stopped answering calls, didn’t respond to texts, missed social events with friends - and then missed work.Where was he?  As each day passed with no word from John, his family began to panic. And then, they took action.Thank you to Linda Clary for sharing her story and for sharing John with all of us.Visit the JACU Foundation here____________________________________Promo: Mortal Musings Podcast______________________________Method & Madness is researched, written, hosted, & produced by Dawn CateMusic by Tymur Khakimov from Pixabay____________________________________REACH OUT:  [email protected]:InstagramXTikTokDIVE INTO MORE: MethodandMadnessPodcast.com____________________________________All sources are listed on the website, under each episode description. MethodandMadnessPodcast.comThank you for listening!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/method-madness--6241524/support.

She was unknown to those who loved her, for 40 years. It’s 1982 in Blairstown, NJ - a quaint town with an old-timey feel, its residents were rocked upon the discovery of a murder victim in the local cemetery.The lead investigator Eric Kranz said “I’ll worry about the murder later on.My main concern is finding out who she is.” He was tired of writing “Jane Doe”, so, she was named “Princess Doe”. Her autopsy revealed she was between 14 and 18 years old, and she put up a fight. The residents came together, helped fund Princess Doe’s funeral, and had a gravestone made for her. For 40 years, they left flowers and searched for her family, praying they’d learn her name. And then, in 2022, they finally got answers. Thank you to Anne, for sharing your story._______________________________If you have any information about Dawn Olanick, please contact: Warren County Prosecutors Office 908-475-6274  [email protected] If you have any information about the following cases, please click the link or call the # provided.

In the idyllic, seaside community of Spring Lake, NJ - the wealthiest of Philadelphia & New York City summered in spacious estates, walked the quiet beach, and grabbed lunch at the local luncheonette. One resident, 65-year-old Lucy Grez was sitting down to watch TV at 7 pm when a trio of masked intruders entered her home.
