Introducing: Suave
The Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast returns for its second season!Seven years after his release from prison, former juvenile lifer Luis "Suave" Gonzalez seems to be thriving. His career has taken off, he’s in a committed relationship and he’s received public recognition after telling his story on the podcast. Suave always thought once he was out of prison and found stability in his new life, he would finally feel truly free. But freedom, it turns out, is more complicated than it seems. "Suave" is a deeply intimate portrait of a man battling the lingering trauma of incarceration and his search for happiness in the outside world after a near-lifetime in prison. In this season we explore the long shadow of prison.

For years, Robert Brashers had managed to evade justice, slipping through the cracks repeatedly. But on January 13, 1999, his luck finally ran out in a modest motel room in Kennett, Missouri. What began as a routine police search quickly escalated into a tense, life-or-death standoff that would forever change the lives of those involved. Who was Robert Brashers?

304. Last Rites: Father John Kerrigan
On the evening of Saturday, July 21st, 1984, the local Catholic residents of the tiny town of Ronan, Montana, all gathered at 5:30 p.m. to celebrate mass with their new priest, Father John Kerrigan, who had just been assigned to their parish. He never showed. He didn’t show up Sunday morning either. Days later, his bloodstained clothes were discovered along a highway, but his body has never been found.Father Kerrigan’s case has many similarities to the disappearances and murders of three other priests. Two of whom knew Father Kerrigan. Could they all be related?Join Cam and Jen as they discuss “Last Rites: Father John Kerrigan”Thank you to our team:Written and researched by Lauretta AllenListener Discretion by Edward October from Octoberpod AMExecutive Producer Nico Vitesse of The Inky Pawprinthttps://unsolved.com/gallery/fr-reynaldo-rivera/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/193119300/john-patrick-kerriganhttps://www.insidehook.com/culture/unholy-mystery-murdered-priestshttps://www.newspapers.com/image/394096896/?match=1&terms=missing%20priesthttps://www.newspapers.com/image/412665061/?match=1&clipping_id=167657715https://flatheadbeacon.com/2021/03/23/the-vanishing-of-a-priest/https://www.newspapers.com/image/1076932453/?match=1&clipping_id=167658436https://www.newspapers.com/image/350294378/?match=1&clipping_id=167658601https://www.newspapers.com/image/241351966/?match=1&clipping_id=167658779https://www.newspapers.com/image/350293577/?match=1&clipping_id=167658861https://www.newspapers.com/image/350304344/?match=1&clipping_id=167658922https://www.newspapers.com/image/350294283/?match=1&clipping_id=167659009https://www.newspapers.com/image/351402921/?match=1&clipping_id=167659122https://www.newspapers.com/image/354806616/?match=1&clipping_id=167659492https://www.newspapers.com/image/955820619/?match=1&clipping_id=167660070https://www.newspapers.com/image/349681260/?match=1&clipping_id=167660152https://www.newspapers.com/image/350705169/?clipping_id=167660321https://www.newspapers.com/image/958094424/?match=1&clipping_id=167660609https://www.newspapers.com/image/410685517/?match=1&clipping_id=167660917https://www.newspapers.com/image/470116359/?match=1&clipping_id=167661286https://www.newspapers.com/image/1073605939/?match=1&clipping_id=167661444https://www.newspapers.com/image/957459872/?clipping_id=167661532https://www.newspapers.com/image/467114749/?match=1&terms=Father%20John%20Kerrigan%20priesthttps://www.newspapers.com/image/467367147/?match=1&terms=Father%20John%20Kerrigan%20priest (List of accused priests and personnel)https://www.newspapers.com/image/958922589/?terms=Father%20John%20Kerrigan%20priesthttps://www.newspapers.com/image/350303929/?match=1&terms=Curtis%20Holmenhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/350302245/?match=1&terms=Curtis%20Holmenhttps://charleyproject.org/case/curtis-austin-holmenhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/394128873/?match=1&terms=Swan%20River%20Youth%20Forest%20Camphttps://www.newspapers.com/image/350292686/?match=1&terms=Daniel%20Radihttps://www.newspapers.com/image/1076936323/?match=1&terms=Daniel%20Radihttps://www.newspapers.com/image/350294378/?match=1&terms=Daniel%20Radihttps://www.newspapers.com/image/350294362/?match=1&terms=Daniel%20Radihttps://www.newspapers.com/image/351280442/?match=1&terms=%22George%20Ferguson%22https://www.newspapers.com/image/351115205/?match=1&terms=Episcopal%20priest%20missinghttps://www.newspapers.com/image/392859867/?match=1&terms=Episcopal%20priest%20missinghttps://www.newspapers.com/image/392870634/?match=1&terms=Episcopal%20priest%20missinghttps://www.newspapers.com/image/351116613/?match=1&clipping_id=167830432https://www.newspapers.com/image/394137120/?match=1&clipping_id=167833184https://www.newspapers.com/image/288943388/?match=1&clipping_id=168181958https://www.episcopalchurch.org/eir/what-is-the-difference-between-the-episcopal-church-and-the-roman-catholic-church/

303. Shots in the Dark: The Murder of Denise Wolff
In the early hours of July 17, 1997, Denise Wolff, 39, had just finished her overnight shift as a card dealer at the President Casino on the Admiral. It had been a good night, and Denise, feeling optimistic, climbed into her brand-new Chrysler Cirrus LX. She had a new job, a new car, and even a new man in her life. Things were finally looking up for her. On her way home, Denise stopped at a drive-thru on Hampton Avenue to grab a bite before returning to her house on Bancroft Avenue. The streets were quiet at this time which was good since South St. Louis had a predator, known as the South Side Rapist, who had been lurking in the area. Ever cautious, Denise had installed a motion-activated floodlight near her driveway, ensuring she would be seen if anyone approached. But tonight, something felt different. Denise usually pulled straight into her garage, never exposing herself to the darkened street. But tonight, she parked her car on the street. She stepped out and walked toward her front door, but never made it.Join Cam and Jen on this Our True Crime Podcast episode entitled ‘Shots in the Dark: The Murder of Denise Wolff.’Listener discretion by @octoberpodVHSAll music by our E.P. @theinkypawprintSources:https://www.firstalert4.com/2022/02/16/this-was-weirdest-case-absolutely-crazy-puzzling-south-city-murder-remains-unsolved-decades-later/https://www.firstalert4.com/news/st-louis-unsolved/https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/see-no-evil-2472783https://www.riverfronttimes.com/news/now-you-see-it-now-you-dont-2472870https://www.firstalert4.com/2022/02/16/this-was-weirdest-case-absolutely-crazy-puzzling-south-city-murder-remains-unsolved-decades-later/https://www.safehorizon.org/get-informed/domestic-violence-statistics-facts/https://slmpd.org/homicide/unsolvedhomicides/https://uncovered.com/states/missouri-cold-cases/st-louis-mohttps://www.bonterratech.com/blog/domestic-violence-statistics
