We've all heard the phrase, that kind of thing doesn't happen in our town.

But here on Midwest murder, we will shatter that false reality.

In fact, it happens more often than we know, and sometimes the details of the most horrific

crimes that

happen in our neighborhoods are lost in the back pages of newspapers, forgotten on our news channels,

and eventually erased over time. We are here to talk about murder, diving into some of the most

controversial cases in Midwest history. This show will not shy away from the morbid details of these horrific events and the often

ugly truths behind them.

What you will hear is a detailed timeline of events, perspectives from those closely

involved, and analysis by experts.

What you will feel is the darkness that surrounds each story, the innocence

lost by the victims, and hopefully the justice that was ultimately delivered.

Jonah Lanto. Don Palumbo. I almost called you by the nickname I have for you. Yeah,

don't be diming out my nickname to anybody else. That's just mine from you. I know. I know.

And that's it. I know. I'm sorry. Yeah. But anyway, Journalando. Hi. Don Palumbo. How are you? We're coming off

of a live show last night, you know. So our voices are all revved up if you want to think of it that way. Reved up, tuned up, and ready to go. It was a great show last night at Oak Park.

Thanks to everybody for coming out to that.

And a big thanks to all of our listeners for supporting us through over 100 episodes, 80-some-odd

live shows, and more than four years of Midwest murder.

As we're kind of into this new year, Dawn, I'm just feeling super grateful,

and I want to tell everyone listening to this, my gratitude to you is limitless.

Mine too.
