S1, E1 Welcome to the Hellmouth

On July 31, 2016, in downtown Lebanon, Missouri Bo Eilenstine was tearing down the St. Bernard’s Fruit Market. Workers discovered a deep hole under the building’s foundation. City officials peculated that the space might be an old well. The hole is approximately 3 to 4 feet wide and about 80 feet deep.

When I heard this I jokingly said, “Welcome to the Hellmouth.” This was a nod to the first episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but also to the decades of impossibly brutal crimes that occurred in or near my hometown.

Listen Now!

Not far from the statistical center of the United States is the quaint town of Lebanon, Missouri. Route 66 bisects this small town of less than 20,000, but that’s not the thing that sets Lebanon apart from its cultural counterparts. 

Lebanon makes the news - local,  national, and International.

From meth busts to brutal murders - solved, unsolved, and half-assed. There have also been kidnappings and imprisonments that have been used as inspiration for at least one New York Times bestseller.

So, sit back, but don’t relax, as Chandi and I show you around our hometown. Welcome to Myths, Monsters, and Murders.

This week we will release 3 episodes, and I’ll try to keep the blog updated daily.
