Leonard Lake and Charles Ng silently terrorized and collected victims in the greater San Fransisco area for about two years.  Leonard Lake was a criminal in every way, committing every type of criminal offense that one could think of.  He was obsessed with the book “The Collector" by John Fowles.  When Lake met Charles Ng, Charles was a fugitive on the run from the U.S. Government.  To this day we still do not know how many people fell prey to this California Killer duo.

This is no ordinary garage: it’s a rabbit hole of true crime, with a generous supply of alcohol and banter to lighten the load. From international atrocities to heinous stories on (US) home turf, dive head-first into a different case each week, and enjoy a cold one whilst your there.

West Memphis 3 /// Discussion /// Part 2

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com 
Join Nic & The Captain in the Garage for a riveting and energy filled discussion about the West Memphis 3 case.  This case and True Crime story continues to be one of the more debated cases of the 20th century, even after more than 30 years has passed.  Why can’t we as a collective community move on from this case?  Is it because the case manages to creep its way back into the headlines, over and over again?  Or, is it because at the end of the day we are all afraid that we may never know the truth about what happened in Robin Hood Hills, on May 5th, 1993?  We are still seeking justice for Steve Branch, Michael Moore, Christopher Byers, and their families.  

Beer of the Week - Meloncholy by the good folks at Tactical Brewing Co.
Garage Grade - 3 and a half bottle cap out of 5 

Recommended Reading - A Harvest of Innocence; the untold story of the West Memphis Three murder case by Dan Stidham

West Memphis 3 /// A Harvest of Innocence 

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com 
After taking a listen once again to our West Memphis 3 case coverage from 2016 we have decided to revisit the case and get some additional thoughts from a perspective not yet heard on TCG.  Today we welcomed in Dan Stidham, the Defense Attorney for Jesse Misskelley Jr.  Mr. Stidham represented Jesse for many years and at some points was assisting Jason Baldwin as well.  He has since gone on to become a highly respected Judge in Arkansas.  While he is not a fan of the Alford plea, he remains one of the key figures in this case that helped the West Memphis 3 to finally get released from prison after serving 18 years.
