Summary
Although we aren't covering a new case this week, we wanted to bring you this replay episode from the Criminology vault. It's the case of the Pocatello Babysitter Murders which originally aired on episode 54 in 2019. We will be back with all new episode next week.
Between 1978 and 1983, four teenage girls disappeared from Pocatello, Idaho. All four were later found deceased. There were similarities between the victims aside from their ages and gender. They all attended the same school. All went missing during the summer months, and three of the girls were either babysitting or due to babysitting at the time they disappeared. Was this the work of a serial killer or random acts of violence?
Join Mike Ferguson and Mike Morford as they discuss the murders of Tina Anderson, Patricia Campbell, Linda Smith, and Cindy Bringhurst. There have been a number of other murders around the Pocatello area, some that have received much attention, and those are discussed as well.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, it's Morp here. |
| 0:01.7 | Just wanted to give you a heads up. Since we just got back from CrimeCon, and since Mike had to turn around and travel for his daughter's wedding, it's going to be hard to bring you a new episode this week. But rather than not bring you any episode at all, we decided to re-air one of our older episodes, one of my favorites, the Pocatello Babysitter Murders, which we originally aired in episode 54 way back in |
| 0:22.5 | 2019. It's a pretty strange case, one that I think listeners will find fascinating. I hope you |
| 0:27.9 | enjoy it. And don't worry, because Mike and I will be back next week with an all-new episode. |
| 0:32.6 | So we'll see you back here then. |
| 0:34.6 | Criminology is a true crime podcast that may contain discussion about violent or |
| 0:38.7 | disturbing topics. |
| 0:40.4 | Listener discretion is advised. |
| 1:16.4 | Oh! I'd like to welcome everyone to episode 54 of criminology. |
| 1:17.6 | I'm Mike Ferguson. |
| 1:19.2 | And this is Mike Morford. |
| 1:21.9 | Mr. Morford, how are you doing? |
| 1:23.6 | I am doing good. |
| 1:26.2 | I am pumped up, no complaints, and I'm ready to roll. |
| 1:26.9 | How about you? |
| 1:29.1 | Yeah, I'm right with you, man. When you and I get together, I am ready to record an episode. I think we've got a great |
| 1:35.5 | episode lined up today, so I'm excited about it. Yeah, I like the selection that, and hopefully |
| 1:42.5 | the fans do too. I believe they do from the feedback that we're |
| 1:46.6 | getting, but the selection of cases, right? Some of these are a little off the map. Some of the |
| 1:55.1 | ones that we do are a little more well known. I think it's a good mix. And more if you and I've been |
| 2:00.7 | talking about and we have |
| 2:02.7 | plans to do more of an extended series like like we did with Zodiac and Golden State Killer |
