| 0:00.0 | This podcast details true crime cases. It contains adult themes and may contain descriptions of violence. |
| 0:06.9 | It is not intended for children. Listener discretion is advised. |
| 0:16.5 | Thank you for joining me for today's episode of Once Upon a Crime. It's the month of October, just about my favorite month. |
| 0:24.1 | October has the beginning of crisp weather, the turning of the leaves, and best of all, Halloween. |
| 0:30.2 | Because Halloween is my favorite holiday, I've decided to create a series that brings in some elements of that day. |
| 0:36.6 | Crime stories, of course, |

| 1:12.6 | later be considered one of the most haunted places in the Midwestern United States. Did people |
| 1:19.3 | convince themselves it was haunted because they knew of all the horrible and grisly crimes that |
| 1:23.7 | took place at that location? Or could it be that the many victims who lost their |
| 1:28.9 | lives to a cold, calculating serial killer still haunt the grounds? Or, even more chillingly, |
| 1:36.9 | is the killer himself the dark spirit that roams his former killing grounds. So sit back, |
| 1:43.8 | perhaps light a fire or a candle. |
| 1:46.0 | Wrap yourself in a cozy blanket to keep the fall chill away |
