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.

The 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. Don Palumbo. Jonah Lantow. How you doing? Good. Firsty. Back at Oak Park,

there was seemingly some confusion about whether or not we were going to be indoors or outdoors

today. I don't know why there was any of that, but I'm glad everybody found their way to the show. Maybe it's because you just said we're at Oak Park, but we're not. We're at Oak Park Theater. Maybe that was also just my mom that thought that. Could have just been my mom that got that one confused, even though we've literally never done that and all of our shows at Oak Park Theater have in fact been right here in this theater mom. In the theater. Yeah. Completely separate entity. Totally. Yeah. Yeah. So separate, there's a street that divides them. Anyway, well, we appreciate you guys for being here tonight. Seriously, it's so cool. We are humbled and I am always speechless when I see you guys walk through the door. It's so very cool. And of course, thank you to those who are listening.

Seriously, we do, we do talk about it and then talk about it privately and during our windshield time. Absolutely. So we're, we're taking them to heart and we appreciate it.
