    Episode 6: The Divorcée
    Hastings, Nebraska - Part II
    The investigation into the murders of Hazel Bird and Clarence Yager draws investigators from across Nebraska and from as far as Indiana. Intriguing persons of interest blow into and out of town in the weeks around the murders. And the police have a surplus of theories when it comes to what motivated the killings, most of which center around Hazel Bird's love life.

    OTC Presents: Murders on Lovers’ Lane Chapter 5 - The Widower

    Episode 5: The Widower
    Another three weeks pass with no new Lovers' Lane murders. A couple in Nebraska, brought together by the eerily similar tragedies that have shaped their lives, takes an automobile ride one summer Sunday night and never returns.
    The strange clues found at the murder scene raise more questions than they answer. And the town's recent rash of robberies might mean that the killer has been lurking for a while.

    Chapter Two: The Bandit
    The hunt for the Fort Wayne Lovers' Lane Killer goes on, focusing on the so-called "Bicycle Bandit" as police chase leads all over the state.

    OTC Presents: Murders on Lovers’ Lane Chapter 1 - The Lovers

    Part 1: Katherine Herbers and Howard Fisher
    Fort Wayne, Indiana. May 6, 1925
    A young couple is out for a drive one lovely spring night. The abrupt end to their evening is only the beginning of the terror that will snake across the Midwest in the Jazz Age, only to disappear and return with starting violence in the big city at the start of the Great Depression. 
    This is the first episode of our journey down Lovers' Lanes across the United States, lonely roads, private places touched by senseless brutality.

One of my faves

I LOVE the combo of true crime and historical happenings. This podcast does it perfectly! The chemistry and flow between Kristy and Amber is 10/10 and hilarious. The older episodes with Scott are still pretty good, but he does make some off-hand remarks and jokes that have overall left the show when he left. I love how deep into the research Kristy and Amber get [;) that’s for Amber haha] But really, the episodes are so well researched and you’ll find out about crimes you’ve never heard of on any other podcast or YouTube channel OR if it is a popular one you’ll find out new details. I’m not a Patreon of any other show I listen to, but once I finish binging here, I’m going to join!

Love the work you guys put into this show! 💜

mollywardd ,

Too much filler.

It’s like 5 seconds of relevant information for every 5 minutes of small talk, inappropriate jokes, and dumb remarks. Couldn’t even make it through a whole episode because it was just so hard to listen to with the way they talk about the case. Ugh.

Hermes808 ,

Love the Chemistry

You guys are awful, I LOVE IT !!!!!! You say exactly what I’m thinking and I love that I’m not the only one who’s awful. You all are my spirit animal.
