Nine women were murdered in and around Prospect Avenue, marking the emergence of a new serial killer in Kansas City in 2004.

Shockingly, the killer brazenly called 911 to disclose the locations of the bodies. Our special guest, former Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker, who served as assistant county prosecutor during that time, joins us to delve into the Prospect Avenue murders. She offers profound insights into the case, covering aspects from the investigation and trial to the disturbing history of the perpetrator's family, known as one of the most violent in Kansas City's history.

This Month's SponsorFebruary's sponsor is West Bottoms Whiskey Co. They have a new whiskey out called convergence. The history of American whiskey began taking shape when Scottish settlers brought their malt whiskey techniques and illicit stills to a fledgling America, where Rye whiskey was making its name as the nations first homegrown spirit. The coming together of Old World tradition and New World agriculture helped lay the foundation for a whiskey revolution.

Convergence Whiskey embodies this rich history, combining rye and single malt whiskeys into a distinctive blend, which rests in a Malbec wine cask for its signature finish. This cask resting process allows time and tradition to merge into one uniquely blended whiskey that honors both classic and modern whiskey making techniques.Be sure to visit and tell them you heard about them on the podcast!
