S3: From Crimes of the Centuries: Chasin...

Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan
About this episode
Hey, Strange & Unexplained listeners! 

We’re off this week for the Memorial Day holiday, but didn’t want to leave you with an empty feed, so we’re featuring an episode from another Obsessed Network show, “Crimes of the Centuries”

Crime is so commonplace that it takes something particularly shocking and horrifying to be labelled the “crime of the century.” Even so, many of these crimes have been forgotten or lost to history. Until now.  Each week, award-winning report Amber Hunt takes a deep dive into one of these crimes, telling forgotten true crime tales that you may not have heard before.

The episode we’re sharing today, “Chasing a Ghost,” tells the story of the murder of a small-town Pennsylvania police chief, which seemed like an open-and-shut case when it happened in December of 1980.  After all, whoever shot Gregory Adams appeared to have left a driver's license at the scene of the crime.  But investigators soon learned that the case would prove more challenging than expected, with a criminal who seemed to vanish into thin air for decades.

We’ll be back with an all new S&U episode next week, so in the meantime, check out “Crimes of the Centuries” wherever you get your podcasts.
