Summary

Today’s case takes us to Mason City, Iowa. It's July 25, 1993, and like most school-aged kids, summer is the reward after being stuck in a classroom for nine months. Six-year-old Amber Duncan was no different. After an afternoon of playing on a Slip 'n Slide with her best friend, Brittney, Amber headed home around 3 PM, still wet from a day of fun in the water. As the little girl waved goodbye to her best friend, no one could have known it would be the last time she'd be seen. But Amber wasn’t the only one to go missing. What followed were years of agonizing questions and desperate searches. This is one of the most disturbing cases I've ever covered, and the man at the center of it all is a real-life Walter White. Join Cam and Jen as we discuss ‘Kingpin: Dustin Honken’ on Our True Crime Podcast episode. Listener Discretion of by the Edward October of @octoberpodVHSAll music is by our executive producer Nico @theinkypawprintSources:https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrNOWYmPKFmVggc5DAPxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzMEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1721871526/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.desmoinesregister.com%2fin-depth%2fnews%2flocal%2fcolumnists%2fcourtney-crowder%2f2020%2f07%2f12%2fdustin-honken-execution-trail-crime-put-iowan-death-row-drugs%2f5403810002%2f/RK=2/RS=HhKSf7aq8OWHRitbTAwQtEiqyZ4-https://www.peacocktv.com/watch-online/tv/gangsters-americas-most-evil/4755644071207856112/seasons/3/episodes/dustin-honken-episode-2/57b0b5d6-dea2-30e7-bec2-b7d4dfce899fhttps://www.ajc.com/news/local/opinion-maybe-wife-killer-fred-tokars-got-fate-worse-than-death/PbgkmWIwbkkvFTQoNczcSK/https://casetext.com/case/honken-v-united-states-4https://malefactorsregister.com/wp/1024/https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2020/07/16/us/ap-us-federal-execution-meth-kingpin.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20191207201717/https://www.kimt.com/content/news/Judge-temporarily-stops-execution-of-north-Iowa-mass-murderer-Dustin-Honken-565288091.htmlhttps://apnews.com/article/shootings-iowa-ap-top-news-in-state-wire-terre-haute-824b3ba56e1be497e98100b9e7b91420https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/https://openjurist.org/184/f3d/961/united-states-of-america-v-dustin-lee-honkenhttp://www.cncpunishment.com/forums/showthread.php?4741-Dustin-Lee-Honken-Federal-Execution-July-17-2020https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law/fred-tokars-lawyer-who-set-murder-his-wife-dead/RZ0wVVjemrUPMQKaF8ntdK/https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrNOWYmPKFmVggc5DAPxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzMEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1721871526/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.desmoinesregister.com%2fin-depth%2fnews%2flocal%2fcolumnists%2fcourtney-crowder%2f2020%2f07%2f12%2fdustin-honken-execution-trail-crime-put-iowan-death-row-drugs%2f5403810002%2f/RK=2/RS=HhKSf7aq8OWHRitbTAwQtEiqyZ4-https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrNOWYmPKFmVggc4jAPxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzIEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1721871526/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.desmoinesregister.com%2fstory%2fnews%2fcrime-and-courts%2f2019%2f07%2f25%2fdustin-lee-honken-federal-execution-angela-johson-federal-death-penalty-iowa-murders-timeline%2f1826709001%2f/RK=2/RS=YtsWsQgcDI48elvf.BKm54sHlu0-https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCOURTS-iand-3_01-cr-03046/pdf/USCOURTS-iand-3_01-cr-03046-1.pdf Learn more about your ad choices.
