#325 The Tale of the Elaborate Death of Alan Abrahamson [Vacation Series]

**WARNING: This episode contains details involving suicide and suicidal ideation and may be disturbing and triggering for some listeners. If you are struggling, you aren't alone. Dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline**  On the morning of January 25, 2018, the lifeless body of 71 year old retiree Alan Abrahamson was found shot to death in a large open field in Palm Beach Garden, Florida.  At first glance, his death appeared to be self-inflicted, but the problem with that is when they searched around and underneath Alan's body, there was no gun to be found.  So, this had to have been at the hands of somebody else.  But who?  And why is it Alan appeared to be so at peace when he died?  If someone was chasing after him to shoot him, how is it he appeared as though he simply laid down and peacefully went to sleep?  It had detectives scratching their heads...until one of them remembered seeing a case similar to this on CSI...

#324 The Tale of the Double Double Cross: What Happened to Cliff Lambert? [Part 2]

On December 5, 2008, 74 year old self-proclaimed "art dealer to the stars" Cliff Lambert failed to show up at the annual Winter Festival of Lights Parade in Palm Springs.  His friends were concerned, but not overly concerned because it wasn't unusual for Cliff to dip in and out of communication with his friends periodically.  But after a few days, his close friend, Eddie Mullican, couldn't help but wonder where Cliff was, as something didn't feel right.  So Eddie reported him missing.  While the investigation was a little slow to get going. But, just before the New Year, when the detective assigned to Cliff's case received a call informing him that a Nepalese Prince was attempting to sell Cliff's home and this real estate agent did a quick Google search to discover Cliff had actually gone missing from Palm Springs, it sent the investigation into high gear.  And what became of this case was a more than decade long odyssey involving an eclectic group of conmen out to get their hands on Cliff's fortune, which consisted of a very expensive and precious collection of artwork that Cliff proudly hung from the walls of his home...at least that's what he told people.  What happened to Cliff Lambert?

#322 The Tale of Richard "The Sky King" Russell & His Barrel Roll of a Lifetime [Vacation Series]

A little after 7:30 p.m. on August 10, 2018, 28 year old Richard "Beebo" Russell was a couple hours into his work shift as a ground service agent for Horizon Air at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport when he inexplicably got into an airplane tug, moved an Alaskan Airline Bombardier Q400 from where it was parked for the night onto a runway, he turned and lined it up as if it were getting ready to take off...and he jumped on board by himself, started the plane and took off on what would be the most significant security breach with a domestic airline since 9/11.  What happened to Beebo Russell and why would he do something so drastic knowing he wouldn't be able to land it?  Music from FMA by Blue Dot Sessions entitled "Deeps Highway" SOURCES: https://allthatsinteresting.com/richard-russell [https://allthatsinteresting.com/richard-russell] https://skyk.ing/transcript [https://skyk.ing/transcript] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Horizon_Air_Bombardier_Q400_incident [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Horizon_Air_Bombardier_Q400_incident] https://www.thestranger.com/guest-editorial/2018/08/17/30824665/i-worked-with-richard-russell-at-horizon-air-and-i-understand-why-he-did-what-he-did [https://www.thestranger.com/guest-editorial/2018/08/17/30824665/i-worked-with-richard-russell-at-horizon-air-and-i-understand-why-he-did-what-he-did] https://an.aero/how-to-become-a-ground-agent/ [https://an.aero/how-to-become-a-ground-agent/] https://nypost.com/2018/08/13/remains-found-on-island-where-suicidal-plane-thief-crash-landed/ [https://nypost.com/2018/08/13/remains-found-on-island-where-suicidal-plane-thief-crash-landed/] LINKS: Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapod [https://www.patreon.com/killaforniapod]PayPal:  https://www.paypal.coCashm/paypalme/killaforniapod [https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/killaforniapod]Merchandise:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/ [https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.threadless.com/]Website:  https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ [https://killaforniadreamingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/]YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@KillaforniaDreamingPodcast]Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/ [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1296620370450345/]Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreaming [https://www.facebook.com/killaforniadreaming]Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/killaforniadreamingpod/?hl=en]X:  https://twitter.com/killaforniapod [https://twitter.com/killaforniapod]Email:  killaforniapod@gmail.com TikTok:  @killaforniadreamingpod  Cash App:  $KDpodcast Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1656709/support]
