Summary

In this episode, Crawlspace Media's Tim Pilleri, Lance Reenstierna, and Jennifer Amell speak about the crimes of John Regan. On September 10th, 1993 John Regan broke into Donna Palomba's house while her kids were asleep. He raped Donna at gunpoint only to disappear into the night afterwards. He then attempted to kidnap a high school student in Saratoga Springs, New York in 2004. We discuss his crimes and the potential possibility that he was looked at in Sheila Shepherd's unsolved murder. We released an 8 part series on Sheila's murder in January and February of 2023.

0:30.0	Welcome back to Missing! I am Tim here today with Lance and Jennifer. How are you both
0:40.1	doing today? I'm doing very well, Tim. Thanks for asking. Glad to be back in the saddle
0:44.9	here. And it's good to have you back in the saddle with us, Jen, as we tackle yet another
0:52.0	case that on some levels feels like there was some justice served, but on other other
0:58.0	elements to this that are frustrating, and you kind of see the same behavior from law enforcement
1:03.2	when they're dealing with these types of sexual crimes. And then there's also the Saratoga
1:06.8	Springs connection. So there's a lot of layers to this one. I'm really excited to get into it.
1:12.2	Tim, no one's asked you how you are though. Do you feel left out? How are you?
1:15.9	I kind of do actually. Thank you. I am doing well. I am excited to speak about this case, this person,
1:23.0	and this research was brought to us by Marianne Stone White. So big shout out and thank you
1:28.8	to Marianne for working on this, the case of John Regan. And so this is a pretty interesting one
1:37.6	that came across the desk and we're going to go over some of his crimes. Yeah, big thank you to
1:42.8	Marianne. Have we called her Dr. Marianne yet because she is a PhD? Good question. I don't know.
1:48.9	She was on the show. I thought we... Yeah, I think we went over that there, but I'm not sure we
1:52.7	addressed her directly as Dr. Yeah, I just want to make sure people know.
1:58.8	Good. Well, also now she has to be referred to as Dr. Stone White. Like that's an incredible
2:04.6	badass name. It really is. Research brought to us by Dr. Stone White. Yeah. Yeah, and this research is
2:12.8	a bit disturbing and the episode deals with sexual assault. So please take care when listening.
2:19.5	And we're going to get to this case very soon, Tim and Jen, but if people want to listen to our
2:25.6	discussion about John Regan without any ads, where would they find this? Well, listeners can now
2:31.4	subscribe to Missing Premium right there on Apple Podcasts. It's 499 a month. You get early releases,
2:38.0	ad free episodes, and our weekly bonus show, which everybody loves. And if you're not an Apple
