11, 2009, an elderly woman grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down at her kitchen table in

Pensacola, Florida to read the local paper. The news was a big part of her day.

She had lived in her neighborhood for 60 years, and she liked keeping tabs on everything going on in her community, which was actually usually a lot.

Pensacola and the surrounding county had some of the highest crime rates in Florida, and

so crimes were always making the news.

And so she was not surprised when she opened the paper that morning and saw a police bulletin

about a homicide in the area.

The bulletin was asking residents of Pensacola to be on the lookout for a specific red van.

And when this woman saw the grainy photo of the vehicle, she gasped and almost knocked

over her coffee because she'd seen that

fan and she knew exactly who it belonged to. But before we get into that story, if you're a fan

of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right

podcast because that's all we do and we upload twice a week, once on Monday and once on Thursday.

So if that's of interest to you, on the next hot day, offer the follow button a strawberry

popsicle.

But don't tell them it's actually just frozen hot sauce.

Okay, let's get into today's story.

Okay. Hey, listeners, big news for true crime lovers.

You can now enjoy this podcast ad-free on Amazon music with your prime membership.
