ep 321: Maryanne Measles.

Today we’re sharing a special collaboration episode we recorded with Dr. Casey Jordan and Dr. Colleen Butler-Sweet of the podcast, Criminal Appeal.

We discuss the murder of thirteen-year-old Maryanne Measles of New Milford, Connecticut. The case is deeply personal to Casey, who lived in the area at the time and even joined the searches for Maryanne before her body was found.

This is Part Two of Criminal Appeal’s coverage, so we strongly encourage you to listen to Part One for a full narrative of the case, including interviews with those who knew Maryanne best.

Part 1 can be found here:

We’re grateful to share this conversation with you — and we hope you find it as compelling as we did.

Ep 319: Reconsidered: 48 - Debra McNeal
Women & Crime: Reconsidered is where we revisit our episode catalog and bring new insights, behind the scenes or updates.

Original Airdate: 05/04/21

A brutal act of violence against a Native American woman in her own home highlights an epidemic of violence - the shocking number of crimes committed against Native American women and the lack of response to these crimes.
The community rallied to fight for justice for this woman, but what about all the forgotten other women? Will they ever receive that same justice?
