These links don’t serve as comprehensive sourcing for our episodes — we name and credit the sources in the episode itself.

Much of our information comes from newspaper archives, either on newspapers.com or hard copy at the Maine State Library or Portland (Maine) Public Library. That said, much of what’s here was part of our source material for our reports where links were available, and some of it is additional material. Check back for occasional updates to some of the stories. [We apologize for any articles that are behind a paywall. We try to make the info as accessible to everyone as possible, but you know how that goes.]

Lots of interiews on the Ruiz thing from when it happened, most of which you won’t find on YouTube, and some good history for people who don’t know a lot about the marathon, but superficial and kind of corporate-glossy, avoiding or misrepresenting some of the negatives. Worthwhile, if you consider the source.

EPISODE 127: Where are Jill Sidebotham and Lydia Hansen?
Jill Sidebotham and Lydia Hansen left the home in Springvale, Maine, the two share with Jill’s parents on June 27. They were in the company of Nicholas Hansen, Lydia’s father and an ex-boyfriend of Jill. Even though Hansen said it was to “go camping,” we’re not calling them “missing campers,” because camping has nothing to do with this story. Anyone who thinks they took off on a camping trip, and that was it, hasn’t been paying attention.
For information and updates, visit the Sanford Maine Police Department Facebook page.
Jill’s dad, Ron Sidebotham, did an interview with the podcast Locating the Lost on July 22. Here’s the link to their Facebook, which has a video of the interview..
The last confirmed sighting was at the Mexico, Maine, Walmart on July 2. Here’s a still from the surveillance footage (all the photos are on the Sanford PD’s Facebook):

The Montreal Massacrue: Legacy of Pain
Ecole Polytechnique Massacre: Why We Remember
EPISODE 115: Happy Face Killer (Keith Jesperson)
While much of the information from this came from contemporary newspaper accounts, our special guest LIz also got some from:
The Netflix documentary series “Catching Killers” episodes 3 & 4, True LIes Part 1 and 2.
The podcast “Life After Happy Face,” with Melissa Moore (Jesperson’s daughter) and Laura Petler.
EPISODE 114: Ted Conrad
One great source for this episode was the Boston Globe, where reporter Emily Sweeney caught up with the story after Conrad, who’d lived as Tom Randele for 52 years, died.
Two excellent stories by Sweeney are “Hiding in plain sight” and “It’s unbelievable, it’s the stuff of movies”
A video that has information that a lot of later sources didn’t is a 1986 WJW TV report by Bill McKay.
EPISODE 113: Dottie Milliken & Pamela Webb
Almost all of the information for this episode came from newspaper archives, but a November 2021 interview with Dottie Milliken’s daughter on WCSH Channel 6 also helped.
A lot of details about Pamela Webb’s case can also be found in the 1995 lawsuit document, Webb v. Haas.
The Maine State Police also have information on Dottie Milliken’s case, as well as Pamela Webb‘s, both of which are unsolved.
EPISODE 112: The Station Nightclub
Accurate informatin can be found in the Providence Journal, including “The Derderians are on a ‘white-wash tour'” as well as any ProJo story — just go the their website and search.
We also got a ton of information from the 2003 National Institute of Standards and Technology report on its investigation of the fire.
EPISODE 111: Claudine Longet
Some information came from the Dominick Dunne TV show, “Power, Priviledge and Justice.”
While much came from archive newspaper accounts through newspapers.com, here’s a New York Times article from her trial.
And for those of you too young to remember, here she is singing with husband Andy Williams.
EPISODE 110: James Dailey
The top source for this episode was a New York Times/Pro Publica December 2019 article by Pam Coloff, “How this con man’s wild testimony sent dozens to jail and four to death row.”
There is a lot of information out there. Here’s the latest on the Florida Supreme Court denying Dailey a new trail.
The Marshall Project website has a long list of stories, many of which we used for our episode.
The Innocence Project website has a good analysis of the case and why jailhouse snitches are a problem, particularly Paul Skalnik.
The ABC 20/20 episode “A Perfect Liar” was also a help.

Focus on Minnesota part of the story came from the Minnesota Star-Tribune.
EPISODE 52: Carl Drega
The online content isn’t great for this 1997 mass shooting — we find many national articles about things that happen in Maine inaccurate and condescending, and it also happened before publications were putting much on the internet.
That said, a lot of our information, came from the book “In the Evil Day,” by Richards Adams Carey, which is flawed, but a lot better than the books out there that glorify Drega and are loaded with misinformation.
EPISODE 49: The Mad Sculptor

EPISODE 16: A Tale of Two (Fake) Rockefellers
Two totally different guys, but with one basic idea: Call yourself Rockefeller and watch the $$$$ roll in. They both were successful, too, right up until they weren’t. One, Christian Gerhertsreiter, ended up convicted of murder and is serving time in a California prison. The other, Christopher Rocancourt, is a B-list celebrity in his home country of France, appearing on talk shows and games shows. At least we think so. We don’t speak French, so it’s hard to tell.

EPISODE 14: Going Postal
There were a lot of stories behind the 1984 Edmond, Oklahoma, post office shooting, in which Patrick Shirrell killed 14 and wounded many others. The shooting, the worst in a series of shootings at post offices and/or by postal workers, spurred the term “going postal,” and ushered in an era that we now almost take for granted. One of the best ways that story is told is through the eyes of union steward Ron Blackwell in a series of news clips and other video, a look back in time.

EPISODE 13: Chandra Levy
Although it ran in 2008, before the Ingmar Guandique developments in the case, the Washington Post 2008 series that spurred Gandique’s arrest is the go-to for information on this case, as are it’s later stories about how the case fell apart.
