Hello and welcome to my favorite month of the year, October. This month when you come to

Morning Cup of Murder to get your bones chilled,

you will hear the tragic story of Monica Spear, the beauty queen who lost her life, along with

that of her partners, in her home country, as well as the Black Widow herself, Blanche Taylor Moore.

A little later, you can hear the insane story of Pamela Hup,

as well as the grave injustice done to the Fairbanks 4.

The month ends with the mystery known for a long time as Gabby's Bones,

a story of what might be the world's first serial killer, Jill de Re,

and the Hell House that was kept by Takahiro Shirayshi. All that and a lot more come

this month, so make sure you check in each morning while you sip your cup of coffee. Also, I wanted

to thank Holly Archibald and Shelley Alden for suggesting two of our stories this month.

If you have a case that you would like covered on the show, just reach out

on email or an Instagram with the details, and I will add it to my list. Thank you to those who

have already done so and help keep the show going for years to come. For our patrons over on Patreon,

you get to hear the mysterious story of the female stranger. If supernatural, mysteries, and monsters are your thing,

head on over to the Patreon where for as little as $1 a month,

you can hear exclusive episodes and be the first to hear any big announcements.
