No Angel of Mercy… How Serial Murderer Donald Harvey Was Finally Stopped

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised.
In March of 1987, an experienced coroner began a routine autopsy on 44-year-old John Powell, who’d spent months in Drake Memorial Hospital after being critically injured in a motorcycle accident. But when the coroner detected a subtle smell similar to that of burnt almonds, he suddenly realized Mr. Powell had not died of injuries related to the accident… he’d been murdered with cyanide. This discovery was only the first step in a chain of events that ultimately led to the capture of Donald Harvey, a serial killer who operated in three different hospitals in Kentucky and Ohio between 1970-1987. Dubbed the Angel of Death, Harvey was ultimately convicted of killing 37 people, although his actual murder count is believed to be higher. In this episode we discuss the events that transpired– and the people who risked their jobs–in order to end the Angel of Death’s horrific murder spree.

The Original Family Feud: The Hatfields and McCoys

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised. It’s widely considered to be the longest and most infamous family feud in American history, providing the inspiration for everything from a popular game show to a Bugs Bunny cartoon and a Pigeon Forge dinner show. 
But how much of what we believe to be true about the legendary Hatfield and McCoy family feud is actually myth– or even false impressions created by the media?  
That’s just one of the many questions we explore in this fascinating episode. 
Was it really the notorious hog incident that started the family feud? Were Johnse Hatfield and Roseanna McCoy truly the star-crossed lovers they’ve been made out to be, and if so, what happened with their romance? What exactly transpired during the brutal New Year’s Day Massacre? And just how accurate is the 2012 miniseries starring Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton?
Join us as we discuss all this and so much more! The show is also available on your favorite podcast app and the Scandal Water Podcast YouTube channel.

The Tragic Story of Ann Gotlib, Louisville’s Oldest Missing Person’s Case

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. Listener discretion is advised. On her very first day of summer vacation, June 1st of 1983, a bright 12-year-old girl with freckles and curly red hair said goodbye to a friend and rode off on her bike alone to travel the short remaining distance to her home. She never made it. To this day, the disappearance of Ann Gotlib, whose bike was found leaning against a pillar outside the Bashford Manor Shopping Center, remains Louisville’s oldest missing person’s case. And yet, police consider the case closed.This month we return to a focus on local true crime stories with the theme “In Our Own Backyard… Again.” And in this episode we walk through the perplexing case of Ann Gotlib’s kidnapping– a tragedy that not only touched an entire community, but also led to some of the important child protection services we have today.

The Winner Takes It All: How ABBA Survived Critics, Divorce, and the Passing of Time

Mamma Mia! It’s been 50 years since ABBA, clad in silver platform boots and bright outfits garnished with shiny sequins, won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, effectively catapulting the group toward international superstardom.
But at its core, ABBA was about two musically gifted couples who decided to combine their talents. So how did it affect this beloved rock band when several years later, as they were reveling in their success and ‘money, money, money,’  first one couple, and then the second, decided to split? 
That’s one of the key questions we explore in this nostalgic and lively episode dedicated to one of the most enduring and beloved bands in music history, ABBA. And what better time to pay tribute to the group that created hits like “Fernando” and “Dancing Queen,” sparked a Broadway musical and two films, and in recent years became the subject of a virtual concert experience than on the occasion of this 50th anniversary?

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do… Unless You’re Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor is remembered for her legendary screen performances, dedicated activism related to the AIDS cause, and keen business sense.
But her accomplishments were sometimes overshadowed by the romantic entanglements of her personal life… relationships that earned her the title 'homewrecker' and at one point prompted the Pope to advocate Elizabeth’s children be taken away from her.
Our September theme is Breaking Up is Hard to Do, at our listeners’ request, and who better to highlight than Hollywood screen star Elizabeth Taylor, who made even breaking up look easy. 
Join us as we trace Liz’s 8 marriages, including the scandalous affair with Richard Burton that the Pope denounced as “erotic vagrancy,” one relationship that ended due to abuse and another due to death, and the wedding that took place at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch to a man 20 years younger.

Detective Lynn Nobles: An interview with the investigator of the “Bitter Blood” Murder Case

On Tuesday, July 24, 1984, a friend discovered 68 year-old Delores Lynch, deceased, on the driveway outside her home. Upon arrival, the police– including Oldham County detective Lynn Nobles–  were surprised to also discover Delores’s 39-year-old daughter Janie inside. Both women had died from gunshot wounds that appeared to be from a professional hit. 
Before it was all said and done, 7 more would be dead and two families nearly destroyed. 
This bizarre and tragic murder case, as detailed by Jerry Bledsoe in his best-selling true crime book “Bitter Blood” and a subsequent 1994 made for TV miniseries, was the subject of a Scandal Water episode last September. 
And in today’s very special Varietea episode we are proud to share our follow-up interview with the aforementioned detective, Lynn Nobles, who not only worked the Lynch murder investigation from the very beginning, but was also present during that fateful police chase in North Carolina, even sustaining an injury from Fritz Klenner’s gunfire. 
You won’t want to miss this interview during which Lynn walks us through the case from his own first-hand perspective, sharing new insights and clarifying a few points that were missed in the book.
