This is Justin S. Drown, host of Obscura, a true crime podcast, and you're listening to the Murderly Network, podcast to Die For. I'm Hey everyone, it's Jen.

0:35.9

And this is Lindsay.

0:36.8

And welcome back to another corpus delicti.

0:39.3

Tonight, we have the very last episode in our Bars and Stripe series. You might have noticed a theme with the past three. They've been somewhat historical, which we're going to pretend is intentional, even though it wasn't, and it just

0:57.7

worked out that way. But Jen, why don't you tell us about the next series? Our next series is called

1:02.6

Back in Crime. We are actually going to take a hard and in-depth look into historical crimes.

1:10.1

Alicia had said that technically historical is anything 50 years or older, but kind of what I've been looking at and choosing my outlines is just anything that's older, but also just had an effect on history or culture as we know it.

1:26.1

It can be U.S. world history, culture. That's kind of what

1:29.6

I've been putting my outlines on. We will probably have a few maybe like assassinations or just,

1:37.3

you know, things that kind of set the world in motion, if you will. And it could be historical in the

So it's like around 1930 something.

2:03.4

We'll get more in the details in just a minute. But we are actually going to talk about the great

2:07.5

John Dillinger. Yep, absolutely. And he's historical too. And the fact that, I mean, everybody

2:12.8

knows him. He was the original kind of bad boy, the original prison break that everybody thinks of. So it's

2:20.5

kind of a, it's a good segue into the next series. John Dillinger was actually born in 1903. So he's an

2:27.3

oldie but goody. He was born in June 22nd, 1903. He was an American gangster during the time

2:33.6

of the Great Depression in the U.S.

2:35.1

So when he was growing up, jobs were scarce and money was almost non-existent.
