#40 – Where Is Brian Schaffer?

/ Ashli Ferguson / Leave a comment

This case drives me INSANE and I remember it so much – where is Brian Schaffer?
How can one person just disappear?
No traces – nothing.
Where did he go?
Is he dead? Alive?
Hiding?
WHERE IS BRIAN SCHAFFER?!

This episode is short and to the point – because it’s one of those that needs to be and also because Ashli does this one on her own.
That’s right folks – Eric is gone this week!
Boooooo!

So I picked a case that drives me mad – and that’s the case of Brian Schaffer and his disappearance.
It’s one that I’ve always wondered if we will ever solve.
I feel like there’s more we don’t know but you’ll hear it in this episode.
Let’s discuss!

#38 – Mystery House!

/ Ashli Ferguson / Leave a comment

Todays story is kind of a haunting and kind of a history lesson – we talk about the Winchester Mystery House!
Sarah Winchester made this house what it is today – but why?
Well – let us tell you!

The Winchester House through the years

I want to go here SO BAD and take the tour – they offer two so of course I think I need to take both – but I would LOVE to do this one day!
It’s so fascinating to see and it would be amazing to see the rooms and how it’s built – it’s so cool!

So enjoy the Winchester House episode and let us know what you think!

#37 – Dropped off or Gone? Missing for 11 Years

/ Ashli Ferguson / Leave a comment

This episode is one we mentioned in Episode 36 and we couldn’t stop thinking about it so we thought it was one we should bring up and discuss for real.
The case of Timmothy Pitzen!

On 10 year anniversary of his disappearance, authorities release age-progression image of Timmothy Pitzen
Missing poster aging.

Timmothy has been missing since May 2011 and the case has been cold for a long, long time.
It’s one of those cases that you can’t believe happened and you have no idea what actually happened and probably never will.

At the end of the episode you’ll hear how Ashli has hope for Timmothy being found because she really hopes he is and hopes he sees anything saying HEY THIS IS YOU COME OUT – but you never really know.

Is he just gone?
Is he deceased?
Is he safe?
No one knows – but hopefully one day we will!

We decided to try to get the word out about Kristin Smart as much as we could so we made a video recapping her story and what’s happened up until now so people who haven’t heard about as much about her and want to know more.

As always we recommend heading to https://www.kristinsmart.org/ to get more information and help donate if you can afford it — plus listening to https://www.yourownbackyardpodcast.com/ to get the best form of information you can!

#33 – Killer clowns Bring Me Nightmares

/ Ashli Ferguson / Leave a comment

Honestly – I’ve never liked clowns and when I learned of Gacy …. whenever I learned of him then I knew clowns were a definite no go.
Not a fan of clowns.

Gacy – AKA Pogo the Clown

He not only had ONE clown persona but two.
Pogo was a nice clown and Patches was the darker clown persona.
I mean if that’s not creepy then I don’t know what is.

But he was a smart man with a good work ethic and he did work hard for his life – he just also made some bad, bad, bad decision….. really bad.
He is one of the most known serial killers but his story always just blows my mind.

Come hear what we have to say about Gacy and why I hate clowns forever and ever.

#32 – Dahmer, Dahmer, Jeffrey Dahmer

/ Ashli Ferguson / Leave a comment

It’s finally time we talked about one of the most famous serial killers – Jeffrey Dahmer.

Jeffrey Dahmer's Childhood: A Pail of Animal Bones Was His Toy Rattle - A&E

He killed 17 men in his active years as a serial killer and he definitely had a system.
He knew what he was doing and he did it.
That was what he was known for, right?
Everyone knows the name Dahmer – but does everyone know what he was about? Listen and find out!

Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer, also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was a convicted American serial killer and sex offender who committed the murder and dismemberment of 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991…. but what was his early life like, or his jobs?
We’ll tell you all about it!

#31 – The Disappearance of Kristin Smart

/ Ashli Ferguson / Leave a comment

We already did a blog post about Kristin so we won’t bombard you again – but we DID do a podcast episode about her now because it’s been weighing on Ashli’s heart and head for a while and she wanted to get more information out there and more people to hear her story.

We think her story needs to be heard because we are hoping her case is solved soon.
Kristin has been missing since 1996 and her case is STILL open and active today!
