Show Notes

THE JUMP:

It’s a packed studio this week with Dill, Brent, Anna, Ryan, and Ted!

We’re joined by local author and crime historian, Justin Dombrowski, who’s got a book coming out in June! The book is called “Murder and Mayhem in Erie” and will be a must-read for local true-crime enthusiasts!

Our discussion with Justin is wide-ranging:

  • How did he get into this genre?
  • He talks a bit about his process, who’s helped him along the way, and who may have hindered him. 
  • We get into some more well-known crimes from the last 40 years, including the Bob Owens murder and the hit on Frank “Bolo” Dovishaw. 

THE BEER SEGMENT!

This week we sample “All Together” which is a Double Dry Hopped IPA from The Other Half Brewery in Brooklyn, NY. It’s a 6.5% ABV that we really enjoyed! You can listen to the Beer Segment live on Saturday mornings or catch it anytime on Facebook! 

AFTER THE BREAK:

Justin breaks down his creative process and how he pared down a list of 25 cases to 6 – this means there are plenty of cases for a follow-up! He gets into some of the other famous murders that didn’t quite make the cut.

Did you know? Erie’s first African-American police officer was hired around 1900. 

How much has forensic investigation changed over the years?

How much Mafia is there in Erie? Has Erie ever had a serial killer?

You can keep up with Justin on his Facebook Page: Shadows from the Boulevard!
