We stay in the Midwest this week because we are talking about Iowa! First, Lauren talks about the unsolved murder of Myrtle Cook.

Including the previous owners. LaVona and LaVelda Rowe of Iowa City weren’t your typically identical twins. These twins claimed to have a very strong ESP connection.

Ep.128 Morbid Mysteries on November 24th

11/22/2023
This week we are celebrating Kenzie’s birthday! In keeping with the theme, we discuss crimes that occurred on November 24th (Kenzie’s birthday). Lauren goes first with the heartbreaking story of Sabrina Aisenberg. A 5-month-old who disappears from her home in the dead of night and is never seen again. To this day, no one knows for sure what happened to baby Sabrina. Then, Kenzie talks about the most mysterious solved murder case of the 20th century. The media dubbed it the Babes of the Woods Murders to refer to a child murder case in which the bodies of three girls were found in Pennsylvania woodland. Fair warning, nothing is satisfyingly solved in this spooky special.. - Anyone with information on the disappearance of Sabrina Aisenberg is asked to contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678. - - Follow us on Social Media and find out how to support A Scary State by clicking on our Link Tree: https://instabio.cc/4050223uxWQAl - - Have a scary tale or listener story of your own?

Ep.127 West Virginia’s Missing and Cursed

11/15/2023
In this episode, we are headed west to the “other” Virginia, also known as West Virginia, to share two spooky stories that may make you wonder why this state is described as, “almost heaven.” Kenzie talks about a recent unsolved disappearance that was shared with her through social media with the hope of spreading awareness to a local case. Next, Lauren shares the eerie tales from Lake Shawnee Amusement Park where legend says a curse plagues the land the park was built on. Operating for more than 60 years, the park is regarded as haunted due to accidental deaths supposedly caused by the "cursed land". You may not want these country roads to take you home after listening to this episode. - Contact Info: contact Det.
