    January 14, 2009, Lincolnshire, IL. At the Minee Subee Daycare, 16-month-old Ben Kingan crawled to a bouncy chair, fell asleep, and never regained consciousness. The cause of death was ruled a homicide due to a skull fracture and brain bleeding from blunt force trauma to the head. Melissa Calusinski was the sole adult in the room when Ben went into cardiac arrest. After 9 hours of interrogation, Melissa confessed to throwing Ben on the ground. Within 24 hours of her confession, Melissa recanted.

Varied, well thought out and great presenters!

I love this podcast it is one of my favourite true crime. The presenters Aron and Justin are fantastic, bags of personality that comes through in the podcast. I love their stance on justice and honouring the victims. Every episode is interesting, well researched and enjoyable.

why is this the only post cast

I listen to loads of other podcasts, and on every single one I listen to this podcast is advertised and I'm sick of it!! I dont care about Johny or the pools of blood around him! I have listened to a few of your earlier podcasts, and I'm not a fan!!! I dont know if you have control but please stop advertising to me!
