  •  Weird History (Bonus): The Town That Danced Itself to Death

     Weird History (Bonus): The Town That Danced Itself to Death
    Jul 7 2025
    In the summer of 1518, the people of Strasbourg started dancing… and just didn’t stop. No, seriously—they danced for days, some even to their deaths. Was it a curse? A case of mass hysteria? Or just some really bad moldy bread?

    In this fun bonus episode, Ashley and Ricky are taking a little break from true crime to bring you something weird from history. Don’t worry—our regular weekly crime episodes aren’t going anywhere. We just love strange stories and history… and we love you.

    Thanks for listening and keeping things crunchy!

  • Disappeared: Amber Dubois and Chelsea King

    Disappeared: Amber Dubois and Chelsea King
    Jun 28 2025
    Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of child abduction, sexual violence, and murder. Listener discretion is advised.

    In February 2009, 14-year-old Amber Dubois disappeared while walking to school in Escondido, California. Her family searched tirelessly—without answers. A year later, 17-year-old Chelsea King went missing during her routine run in a nearby park.
    Was this a total coincidence that two young girls completely vanished? Or was there a serial killer to blame? In this episode, we piece together the facts behind Amber’s disappearance, the shocking investigation into serial offender John Gardner, and how one mother’s heartbreak became a mission to protect others.

    Hosted by Ashley and Ricky Plum of Crime Salad.

  • Murder Without Justice: Jason Corbett

    Murder Without Justice: Jason Corbett
    Jun 22 2025
    When Irish father Jason Corbett relocated to North Carolina with his two children, it was meant to be a fresh chapter after the tragic loss of his first wife, Mags. He eventually married Molly Martens, an American woman hired to help care for his young children. But nearly a decade later, Jason’s life would end violently inside their North Carolina home—sparking an international investigation and a courtroom battle that has left many questions unanswered.

    In this episode, we look deeper into the years leading up to Jason’s death through the eyes of his daughter Sarah, now an adult, and his sister Tracey Corbett Lynch, who has long fought for answers. Tracey remembers troubling signs during the couple’s wedding visit to America, including Molly’s alleged behavior and inconsistencies in her personal story. Meanwhile, Sarah later came forward with unsettling memories from childhood—claims that challenge the public image of a loving stepmother and raise questions about control and manipulation inside the home.

    From conflicting narratives to transatlantic legal twists, we break down the facts, examine the claims, and explore why many still feel justice remains out of reach for Jason Corbett and his children.

    Please note: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence, mental health, and graphic content related to a violent murder. Listener discretion is advised.

  • The Death of Stephanie Wasilishin: A Mystery Still Unsolved

    The Death of Stephanie Wasilishin: A Mystery Still Unsolved
    Jun 9 2025
    In this episode of Crime Salad, we’re diving into the heartbreaking story of Stephanie Marie Wasilishin—a devoted mother, talented pastry chef, and vibrant woman whose life was cut short on July 9, 1993. What happened that night in Sedona, Arizona has haunted her family for over three decades, especially her daughters, Nikki and Christina.

    Stephanie’s story began long before that tragic night. After the loss of her twin brother in infancy, her family relocated from Illinois to the Deep South, settling in Arizona. Years later, she would meet Russell Peterson, the man who would become her partner and the father of her youngest daughter. But when Stephanie was found dead in their home, and Russell was the only witness, the lines between accident, suicide, and murder became painfully blurred.

    Despite Stephanie’s death being ruled a homicide, no one has ever been charged—and the case remains one of the many unsolved mysteries we explore on this show. Through Nikki’s courageous efforts to seek justice and keep her mother’s story alive!

    If you’re drawn to true crime stories that mix deep emotion with disturbing questions, this one’s for you. We’re unpacking not only a potential murder but also the ripple effect it left behind.

  • Side Salad: 18-year-old escaped: The Gloucester Township Horror Story

    Side Salad: 18-year-old escaped: The Gloucester Township Horror Story
    May 23 2025

    On May 8, 2025, a teenage girl arrived at a Wawa convenience store in Gloucester Township, New Jersey. Her shaved head and scarred-up wrists clearly told a story that something was wrong.

    She wasn’t there to grab a snack or fill up a gas tank—her neighbor had driven her there to meet authorities. She was in desperation to escape a nightmare that, according to investigators, had lasted nearly seven long years. But in the moment she was hesitant to tell them everything.

    Her story would later reveal years of abuse and imprisonment—suffering inflicted by the very people who were supposed to love and protect her. Somehow, it all went unnoticed, hidden behind closed doors with no contact with the outside world. What makes this case even more disturbing is how it exposes the glaring gaps in how we monitor the safety and well-being of homeschooled children in America.

    Listener discretion is strongly advised.
    If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse or needs help, contact the National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) or visit childhelp.org for resources and support.

  • The Hoax of Anthony Godby Johnson

    The Hoax of Anthony Godby Johnson
    May 17 2025
    We’d love to hear your perspective on Anthony’s story. Do you think Anthony Godby Johnson was a real teenage boy who was unfairly discredited? Or do you believe that Vicki Johnson, or maybe even someone else entirely, made the whole thing up? If so, what do you think might’ve motivated the person behind the mask to concoct such an elaborate story? Leave a comment to join in this interesting discussion.
