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're here to talk about murder diving to 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 Lanto. Hello. Hello. We made it back to the Twin Cities, buddy. We made it back. Yeah. It's so great. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, we are at the hook and ladder theater lounge. What an amazing spot. The coolest. It's an old fire hall. I kind of want to live here. It'd be

really cool. Don's moving in. They've got a spot for her upstairs. Yeah. You got a couch and a cot in the bathroom. What else do you need? It's going to be really weird when a band actually shows up and they need the green room, but it'll be fine. It'll be fine. But anyway, big thanks to them for having us and of, big thanks to you guys who made it out here to spend the evening with us. We appreciate it. Yeah, it's a huge deal. It's a huge deal. I mean, in this busy city, lots of things going on in this economy, making it out to come and hang out and listen to us to knuckleheads tell you a story of true crime. It's right. Thank you. Yeah. We appreciate it. And thank you for listening. If you can't make it here, I guess, a big thank you to you as well. If you could have made it here and you're listening, we need to have a conversation about that. We're judging just a little bit. No, I'm just kidding. No, we love all you guys. That is not true. And while we're thanking everybody under the sun, also thank you to everyone who has rated and reviewed the podcast. We are so grateful for the comments, the feedback, and of course the support that we receive from our listeners. It helps us climb the ranks in the charts. We have been in the top 100. We've been in the top 200 of global true crime podcasts, which pretty

dang cool if you ask me. So yeah. Anyway, Jonah, what are people saying about Midwest murder?

It's an honor that anybody will take a little bit of time to review us. And I got to say,

I learned earlier, some people, man, if you don't hit a certain level and your reviews, people just breeze right on by.

Somebody was telling me that like, yeah, when I scope places out, if it's not like 4.7 or higher, I want

nothing to do with it. And I was like, oh, God, we made the cut. We're at 4.7. I'm so grateful

that we're a 4.7 because that means we qualify in your precious world. So thank you.

We love you. We're a 4.7 and we've earned that shit. You know what? I'm pretty okay with 4.7.

I am. I am. And it's just weird because it's either, it's mostly fives and ones. And that's fine.

We like it that way because I'd rather be loved or hated than ignored.

So, you know, it's great. Anyways, we couldn't be 4.7 without all of you, and we appreciate you getting us there.
