Patricia Denise Palmer

The murder of Patricia Denise Palmer in Tulsa in 1981 would stun everyone in the state. How could it be that someone would choose a victim by responding to a benign newspaper ad to sell a wedding dress?
The most tragic part of it all is that Patricia Palmer's killer has never been found, even after all these years.

Athena Brownfield & Olivia Scroggins

**TRIGGER WARNING: Child Abuse/Death**
This episode is going to be rough, y'all. We are sad, infuriated, and feeling helpless about how children in Oklahoma can be failed by so many adults that are supposed to be there to protect them.
We talk about what *ALLEGEDLY* took place in the death of Athena Brownfield within the last few weeks and we talk about an older case that is equally as horrific and infuriating from back in the early 2000's. This is an ongoing problem in Oklahoma (and elsewhere) that will continue to get worse if something in the system is not fundamentally changed. 
This episode is pretty raw and extremely uncensored, due to the nature of the subject we suggest discretion in listening.

Betty & Cynthia Pratt

The savage murders of Betty and Cynthia Pratt shook the College town of Stillwater, OK back in 1966. From beginning to end, this one just leaves you asking "what?!".

Child Abuse in Oklahoma

Oklahoma ranks high per capita for child abuse/neglect. What is the reason that we have so many cases of children being abused by the people that should care for them the most?
If you find it in your heart to foster, adopt, volunteer, or donate, you are truly doing the work!
Some organizations that can always use help and volunteers here in Oklahoma County are:
Infant Crisis Services
Positive Tomorrows
CASA
Infant Crisis Nursery
If you can't donate, please volunteer. Thanks for helping to make Oklahoma better for kids. 

Missing Infant- Shannon Ketron

This is the most bizarre missing baby story that you've never heard of. A baby goes missing from his mother's car on a road trip across the state of Oklahoma. An unidentified man is said to have stolen the baby after assaulting the mother. There is very little news coverage from this incident in 1982 and very little information from the responding officer's police report. 
What do you think happened to baby Shannon?
