    The Dryden Cheerleaders

    Today, we go to a small rural town in upstate New York.  Tucked into the rolling hills of Dryden, the town was founded in 1797 on land that was once part of the Central New York Military Tract — territory taken from the Onondaga and Cayuga Nations and later granted to veterans of the Revolutionary War. Some people like to frame that kind of history as the beginning of a curse, taking land from the Native Americans, But Dryden didn’t grow out of tragedy — it grew into a quiet, hardworking community. Over the decades, it became the kind of place families moved to for stability. By 1936, the town had its first official high school, Dryden High School — a sign that the town was putting down roots. For generations, Dryden felt safe.  The kind of safe where doors stayed unlocked.  Where kids walked home from school.  Where everybody knew everybody. Life moved in an easy, predictable rhythm…  until 1989. That’s when the town’s sense of security began to crack. I’m not going to dive deep into every case from that period today — this episode is about the two young cheerleaders. But it’s important to understand the backdrop. Because what happened to them didn’t land in a vacuum. It landed in a town that, in just a few short years, would be forced to face more loss than most communities see in a lifetime. We’ll come back to some of those other stories another time.

    Mystery at the Maternity Ward

    On the morning of Tuesday, March 6th, 1962, Binghamton General Hospital felt like any other maternity ward in America. Dozens of newborns lined up behind glass. Nurses moving quickly. Parents resting upstairs, believing their babies were safe in the nursery. It was admittedly busy, but nothing about that morning suggested that anything was amiss. The earliest signs were subtle. A baby refusing a bottle. Another on the pediatrics floor crying inconsolably. One mother insisted something was off while trying to bottle feed, only to be told her daughter was just “fussy.” A nurse noticed the whole floor seemed to be fussy, fickle eaters. By Friday, the maternity ward would completely erupt into crisis. Babies would begin vomiting, seizing and slipping away faster than staff could chart their symptoms. The nurses found in the staff office, breaking down while the doctors would be scrambling to recover & to find the cause.  The truth of how it happened — and who was blamed — would raise deeper questions about the hospital culture, and the dangerous confidence America had placed in modern maternity care.

    Lives Lost on Lisi Lane

    March 22nd, 2013. A quiet residential street in Binghamton. Lisi Lane. Inside one home on that street, police would discover a crime scene so brutal that even seasoned investigators were shaken. This is the story of betrayal, domestic violence, obsession, and a case that would take six years — and two trials — to bring justice.

    The Binghamton Clothing Company Fire

    By the summer of 1913, Binghamton, NY was booming. It was the fastest-growing city in New York State. Fifteen thousand people had arrived in just three years. New neighborhoods appeared almost overnight. Factories lined the rivers. The local economy was boosted. Downtown hummed with streetcars, storefronts, the sound of industry and the sidewalks were packed with people. On Tuesday morning, July 22nd, the city awoke, already overheated. At 8 a.m., the temperature had already climbed into the high eighties. Windows were thrown open along Court Street. Chocolates melted in shop windows. Gas lamps baked the insides of photography studios. And at the Binghamton Clothing Company on Wall St. every window and door stood open in a losing battle against the heat. Inside, 111 people were already at work. And the hum of the sewing machines up on the 4th floor could be heard on the streets below. Looking back, the record breaking heat feels like an eerie premonition of what was to come that fateful July afternoon at the Binghamton Clothing Company.

    The Murder of Kelley Clayton

    On September 29th, 2015, a 40-year-old woman named Kelley Clayton was found brutally murdered in her own home in Elmira, New York. She was stabbed more than a dozen times while her children slept upstairs. At first glance, it looked like a nightmare scenario: an unknown intruder, a violent home invasion, a family torn apart. But as investigators would soon discover, the truth wasn’t hiding in the shadows. It was sitting right at the kitchen table. This is the story of Kelley Clayton, who she was, how she died, and how the person responsible tried, and failed, to get away with murder.

    Who Killed Keisha Roman?

    It’s been difficult for me to write about this case because it seems like each time I've sat down to write, I pull up my sources and I’m hoping to find something that simply isn’t there. I want to know more about Keisha but there is so little information out there about her or about her death that it’s been frustrating trying to figure out how to tell her story–because there isn’t a story here. There’s just small fragments of a larger, much more sinister story.    All we know is that on March 22, 2009 Keisha Roman went missing from her home on Oak St in Binghamton, NY. Months later on September 21 of that same year her skeletal remains were found in Susquehanna County, Pa near the Susquehanna river–her body was found in a boat launch near a marina.    Since the discovery of her remains in 2009, there have been no details released about the case or the investigation. There have been no answers for Keisha’s family & there have been no suspects ever named in the murder of Keisha Roman.  https://www.truecasefiles.com/2024/10/the-disappearance-and-murder-of-keisha.html   Submit a Tip: https://www.binghamton-ny.gov/government/departments/police-department/submit-a-tip

    Missing & Murdered

    Some disappearances don’t fade. They linger — because they are unresolved. In small towns, especially, when a missing child becomes part of the landscape. A name whispered. A memory that refuses to settle. This is the story of two teenage girls who vanished within a year of each other — in towns just miles apart — along the New York–Pennsylvania border. One girl was never found. The other was found murdered. And decades later, their stories remain strangely, hauntingly connected. This is the stories of Mary Lou Bostwick & Sharon Coston.

    The Disappearance of Bethanie Dougherty

    In the early morning hours of April 2nd, 2008 police received a call that a woman’s screams were heard near the 500 Block of Jennings Creek in Killawog, NY. Killawog is located just north of Whitney Point, NY and only about 15 minutes north of Binghamton. When the police arrived at the location they did their due diligence, but found nothing out of the ordinary. What the police were unaware of, at that time, is at the exact time when the 911 call originally came in, Bethanie Lynne Dougherty mysteriously vanished from her home directly next door from where the call was made. Since that morning, there has been no sign whatsoever of where Bethanie could’ve gone or who is responsible for taking her. In this story, I’m going to share what happened in the evening leading up to Bethanie Dougherty’s disappearance and everything we know about her case. This case is truly a night mare, something truly out of the Twilight Zone.

    The Burning Truth

    In the quiet hours before dawn on March 17th, 2011 — St. Patrick’s Day — the city of Binghamton was asleep. Then, at 3:30 a.m., flames erupted on the front porch of a home at 20 Milford Street. Inside were seven members of the Aissa family. Six would escape. One would not. Seventeen-year-old Jeffrey Aissa — a twin, a brother, a son — never made it out. And for nearly fifteen years, the truth about what happened that night would remain buried beneath smoke, silence, and unanswered questions.

    Where is Bambi Madden?

    It was January 11th, 2006. Binghamton was cold that night, quiet in the way only a small town can be when it’s hoping to keep its secrets. Bambi Madden left her house just before 11 PM. This should have just been a quick walk to the gas station. She had told her mother she was “going to get a drink”. But Bambi was never seen again. She never made it to the store. And nearly 20 years later, this community is still baffled by her disappearance. It’s one of those stories that keeps echoing—and not because we hear it so often, but because we don’t.  And, that WAS TRUE–until recently, as stories like Bambi Madden’s were beyond rare in Binghamton, NY. But, this past winter (of 2024) our small town has seen a strange spike in missing persons reports making headlines & the locals are yappinggg.  In This is, afterall, the Twilight Zone.   Sources: Missing Persons in America: https://missingpeopleinamerica.org/missing/Bambi-Madden?fbclid=IwY2xjawLXlZ9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFKcXJhcWR6UUtCUTc4ZFdEAR70hSaKT0QaUoIduOknJ5pA-kKRo9HrIS3gji-J371ToiHmWSSRs_OxiROiIA_aem_31MOJwt7LmLGSBhtGp4u8w  Press & Sun-Bulletin: ​https://www.pressconnects.com/story/news/public-safety/2016/01/29/vanished-what-really-happened-bambi-madden/78621318/ YouTube from True Crime with Nathan Adams: https://youtu.be/Kb8_LBjBJ0k?si=s7HQFwV5jbB_VD9t

    The Girl Next Door

    She was the kind of kid who did everything right. Cheri Lindsey — just 12 years old — was known throughout her Binghamton, New York neighborhood as the girl next door. Friendly. Athletic. Dependable. She was a seventh grader at East Middle School. Bright, kind, and always lending a hand, especially to her dad, a Binghamton police officer. During Little League games, you could find her behind the scoreboard, keeping track of every play. And after school? She delivered the Press and Sun, rain or shine. One of those kids who stuck to a routine. March 26th, 1984, was one of those ordinary days. A Friday. Cheri had gone to collect money on her paper route. She told her parents she’d be back soon. She had plans. She was collecting payments that day, earning money to help throw a baby shower for her teacher. She left her home a little before 3 p.m. She never came back.

    Silence After the Shot

    April 21st, 2022 was a day that was cool but seasonable, typical of upstate New York in April. Temperatures hovered in the 50s (°F) during the day and dipped into the 40s or upper 30s by night. People were starting to get outside again, walking, biking, preparing gardens. Sunset occurred around 7:50 PM. The East Side of Binghamton was a quiet, largely residential neighborhood with modest homes and long-established families. Known for being relatively peaceful. It’s not considered a high-crime area. Like much of the U.S., Binghamton was still recovering from the emotional and economic toll of the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools were fully reopened, but some students (especially middle schoolers like Aliza) were still adjusting to normalcy. Local softball leagues were starting up. Parks and schoolyards were more active. At the time, Binghamton wasn’t experiencing a spike in gun violence. Crime was relatively low. That’s part of what made Aliza Spencer’s murder so jarring — it felt aberrant, like something that just didn’t happen in that part of the city. People were talking about the opioid crisis, mental health access, and housing costs — ongoing issues in many upstate New York communities. But the streets were not considered dangerous for families or children. There was already a mild distrust of local law enforcement in some circles, especially when it came to transparency and community policing. That tension only deepened after Aliza’s shooting and the perceived lack of communication from police.

    The Jungle | The Disappearance of Nicole Marranca

    When Nicole Marranca stopped calling her family in the summer of 2017, they knew something was wrong. Nicole had struggled, yes—but she was very open about her struggle with addiction. At the time she was without stable housing, engaging in sex work to get her basic needs met. But she always stayed in touch. She saw her mother regularly and called her father regularly, no matter what. Until she didn’t. In the years since, no trace of Nicole has ever been found.  There are some locals who believe Nicole didn’t just disappear. That she may have been targeted.We don’t know. There are so many unknowns in Nicole’s story. But what we do know is this: her life matters. She was deeply loved. And she was Last Seen in the Twilight Zone. Our thoughts are with Nicole's family, who just celebrated her birthday on December 11th. https://ithacavoice.org/2017/11/father-missing-ithaca-woman-im-waiting-worst-id-love-hear-best/?utm_source=chatgpt.com https://murderincorp.wordpress.com/2024/01/01/upstate-ny/ Missing Persons podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2L8ObEDb5ggn5c9P4tWmuf?si=3752118de70346e2

    Hate at the Grocery Store: The Buffalo Tops Mass Shooting

    Today’s story is one of hate, heartbreak, and horror. But it's also a call to remember those we lost. Today, we go to Buffalo, New York—a proud Rust Belt city known for its snowstorms, football team, and the blue-collar resilience of its people. But on May 14, 2022, something happened that would fracture this community... a hate-fueled act of domestic terrorism. An 18-year-old man from the quiet town of Conklin drove more than 200 miles with one clear, terrifying motive: to kill Black people. This is the story of the Tops Market Massacre. It was a Saturday afternoon in Buffalo’s East Side—a neighborhood rich in history, culture, and community, and one that’s predominantly black, which is kind of crazy to me that he drove all the way there because theres quite a large black community right here in Binghamton, or like Syracuse? Why Buffalo? Tops Friendly Market on Jefferson Avenue was bustling. Families shopping for Sunday dinners. Elderly neighbors picking up prescriptions. Regular folks going about their day. Tops was one of the few full-service grocery stores in the area. For many residents, Tops wasn’t just a store. It was a lifeline. But around 2:30 p.m., that ordinary afternoon turned into a nightmare. A young white man dressed in tactical gear and armed with an assault-style rifle stepped out of his car in the parking lot. On his weapon were racial slurs and symbols. He livestreamed the attack on Twitch.He opened fire before even stepping inside. Within minutes, 10 people were dead. All were Black. Three others were wounded.

    13 Birds in the Sky

    A few weeks ago, I was in the car with my husband, driving through downtown Binghamton. We passed a small greenspace; it’s easy to miss & nestled in a busy intersection. It’s the Memorial Park in honor of the American Civic Association. At its center, there’s a broken column, surrounded by thirteen glass birds in flight. Each bird represents a life lost in one of the most devastating events in our city’s history. There’s something we noticed about Binghamton—it’s that many of our most beautiful public spaces are named in honor of its most tragic moments. Places designed for reflection, built from heartbreak. There’s something eerie about it. As we drove by, I started telling him about April 3, 2009. It was the day a man walked into the American Civic Association on Oak St. in Binghamton NY & opened fire. I told him about the families hopeful for good news that never came, and the advocates who held them in their grief. I told him about how this one day changed our city, and how it pushed everyone to think differently about emergency planning and how to move in a crisis. In this episode, we’re going to revisit that day—not just to recount the timeline of events, but to understand what it meant for the people in that room, for the families who lost someone, and for a city that will never forget.

    Part 3 of the Michele Harris Story: If not Cal, then who?

    Who is Stacy Stewart, Christopher Thomason, and Brian Early? Today, we will go down the next rabbit hole of another man, or men, who could also be responsible for her disappearance. We're not going to talk about the entire case again like we did in Part 1 and 2 go give those a listen first. Fasten your seatbelts because we are about to DIVE in hard. Almost all of the information from this episode is taken from the book Reign of Justice, the link to that is down below, there is so much more new information in it.  Again, if you haven’t listened to part one or two of this series, you should definitely go back and listen Part 1 gave a general overview of this case. In Part 2, we talked about Cal Harris. What evidence made him appear guilty, what evidence might be missing? https://www.amazon.com/Reign-Injustice-Cal-Harris-Story/dp/B08F74RWVH

    Part 2 of the Michele Harris Story: Who is Cal Harris?

    f you haven’t listened to part one of this series, you should definitely go back and listen to that one first. Part 1 gave a general overview of this case. In Part 2, we are going to dig into Who was Cal Harris? What evidence made him appear guilty, what evidence might be missing? We'll go over both sides of the story. Then in Part 3 we will go down the next rabbit hole of another man, or men, who could also be responsible for her disappearance. We're going to briefly go through some background information of the case for those who may be just listening in for the first time.  Calvin “Cal” Harris is a wealthy businessman from Tioga County, New York, best known for being at the center of one of the most high-profile and controversial murder cases in upstate New York.  Harris owned car dealerships and was financially well-off. He lived in the rural community of Spencer, NY, with his wife, Michele Harris, and their four children. On September 11, 2001, Michele disappeared. Her van was found at the end of the long driveway of their home, but she was never seen again, and her body has never been recovered. Harris was charged with Michele’s murder multiple times. His first trial in 2007 ended in a conviction, but the verdict was overturned. He was convicted again in 2009, but that conviction was also overturned. A third trial in 2015 ended in a hung jury.Finally, in 2016, during his fourth trial, Harris was acquitted of all charges. The case became infamous because it combined elements of wealth, marital discord (the couple was in the middle of a divorce when Michele vanished), and questions about circumstantial evidence. Media outlets like 48 Hours and Dateline NBC covered it extensively. Harris has consistently maintained his innocence, suggesting that Michele may have been harmed by someone else after leaving the house that night. With no body, no murder weapon, and no direct evidence, the case remains one of New York’s most debated unsolved mysteries. So lets dig a little deeper...

    Part 1 of the Michele Harris story: Vanished on 9/11

    This is Part 1 of a 3 Part story. September 11, 2001 | While the nation reeled from terror, in Owego, NY, a different kind of panic took hold. Michele Anne Harris 35, mother of four, awaiting finalization of a divorce disappeared without a trace. In this episode, we trace the last known moments of her life, the controversial investigation, the legal battles against her husband Cal Harris, and the unanswered questions that linger more than two decades on. In 2001, Owego, NY was a peaceful rural town, where a young mother of four going missing under suspicious circumstances was not just rare it was unheard of. The tight-knit community was rocked by the case, but overshadowed by the events of 9/11. What happened to Michele Harris became a mystery that haunted not only her family but the entire town for decades. Despite its small size, Owego would become the center of one of New York’s most high-profile and controversial criminal cases.

    Do You Recognize this Suspect?

    On November 4th, 1983 Bessie P. Williams took her regular bus route to pick up her paycheck from work. The 19 year old made the short trip from her apartment on Main St in Johnson City, NY to the suburb of Endicott–where she worked at the Quality Inn Lodge & Convention center. She got her paycheck and intended to head home but she never made it. What happened to Bessie P. Williams on that Friday afternoon? There are so few details about the events that led up to her disappearance–but investigators DO have a sketch of someone they think might have some answers. So, we’re all dying to know–do YOU recognize this suspect? Suspect in question is a white male, about 25 to 30 years old and had a “noticeable potbelly.” He was between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall and wore work boots, jeans and a blue windbreaker. The man was driving a white, late 1970s-style hatchback car that may have been a Ford. The car had New York license plates, a reddish-brown interior and a stick shift. Troopers ask anyone with information about the suspect or Williams’ homicide to call (607) 561-7400.

    Final Call for Help

    At 12:36 in the afternoon on Friday, December 19th, 2014 a 911 call came in to the Broome County Emergency dispatch. The caller on the other end simply asked for an ambulance to be sent & hung up promptly. A sheriff’s deputy was dispatched to the Nanticoke Valley Trailer Park, in the town of Maine, just outside of Binghamton, New York. The residence belonged to Michael Fiocco and Shannon Laskaris. One week prior to this moment, Shannon’s sister, Kelly, succumbed to her courageous battle with cancer. For the Laskaris family, a whole different nightmare was unfolding before Christmas; tragically leaving them to be without both of their beautiful daughters for the holidays.

    Castle on the Hill

    The stories that Allie is sharing today come from the real patients that sought treatment at the Binghamton State Hospital, which opened in 1879. It is important to acknowledge that while the Greater Binghamton Health Center is currently still functional on the State Hospital campus, these stories are specifically from the patients of the inebriate asylum. Perched above the Susquehanna River at 425 Robinson Street in Binghamton, New York, stands a Gothic revival behemoth,  once a pioneer in the treatment of alcoholism—this is the Castle on the Hill. Chartered in 1854 under Dr. Joseph Edward Turner, the institution was the first in the United Statesto treat alcoholism as a mental disease Designed by architect Isaac G. Perry, construction began in 1857 and admitted its first patients in February 1864. Allie and I have a little bit more fun with this episode telling the stories. But we also just wanted to make note that Roger Luther — who has studied the history of not only the Binghamton hospital but also its counterparts in Buffalo, Utica and Willard — said his research about the Castle has convinced him that the overwhelmingly majority of Binghamton staffers wanted to help those they cared for, even if treatments such as electroshock therapy and lobotomies are now discredited. “I couldn’t have more respect for the people who worked there,” he said. “Their intentions were nothing but the best for the patients. They loved the patients — it was like a family atmosphere.” As new drugs like Thorazine — the first effective antipsychotic medication — were introduced in the mid-1950s, societal thinking about institutionalizing the mentally ill began to shift. Also, with the passage of Medicaid in 1965, the federal government encouraged states to move patients out of mental hospitals because the program excluded coverage for people in “institutions for mental diseases. Thank you Roger Luther and the Souther Tier Preservation Society for keeping these stories accessible, for helping our community remember its history and for the work that keeps Binghamton culture alive and well.

    Close to Home

    This story is about Chrystal Crandall. When the news broke that a murder had occurred in our hometown, I was at the airport — returning from a family trip — I saw the story begin to circulate. And then came an alarming email from my kids' elementary school. The words: domestic violence. A Mother’s been killed. 3 children are being assessed and treated at the hospital. Her name came out fast. So did the details. That’s when it really clicked: her child and my child are in the same 3rd grade class There’s a specific kind of weight that comes when a tragedy lands this close. It’s not a headline anymore. It’s the name from the phone tree list. It’s one of those milestone moments when your child is asking questions you don’t really know how to answer. This isn’t just a story I heard, it’s a tragedy I will never forget. https://troopers.ny.gov/news/update-new-york-state-police-investigate-fatal-domestic-incident-apalachin  https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/top-stories/family-mourns-apalachin-murder-victim/  https://www.wbng.com/2024/02/24/tioga-county-man-charged-with-murder-fatal-domestic-dispute/  https://www.osc.ny.gov/press/releases/2023/10/dinapoli-number-domestic-violence-victims-rises-2022 https://www.schumer.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/schumer-amid-covid-there-is-a-very-troubling-33-surge-of-domestic-violence-cases-in-ny-requiring-action-senator-demands-senate-immediately-reauthorize-violence-against-women-act-that-already-passed-house-law-funds-upstate-ny-shelters-counseling-and-critical-efforts-that-save-lives_gives-survivors-a-second-chance https://wnbf.com/husband-charged-with-murder-in-death-of-apalachin-woman/ https://www.ness-sibley.com/obituaries/chrystal-yawcrandall

    Nightmare on Oak St.

    On March 9, 2018 the body of Binghamton University student Haley Anderson was found in the home of a young frat member off campus. Haley was a Nursing student from Long Island, NY who had quickly fallen in love with the Binghamton area upon visiting colleges years prior. There was a clear suspect from the beginning, however he was nowhere to be found. This heartbreaking story would take investigators 3,800 miles away and would eventually lead to charges that are literally unheard of in the United States. “Femicide”; the homicide, or intentional killing, of a woman or a girl & is used in cases where there are gender-motivated offenses.
