6. Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre of 1929

Moments later, the sound of gunfire rings out as a hail of bullets are unleashed and seven men are shot to death.” Welcome to Fables Agreed Upon: A Historical True Crime Podcast! This week we discuss the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of 1929, the seedy underbelly of Chicago in the 1920s, and about a dozen different mobsters.

5. The Donner-Reed Party Part Three

“On February 19th, 1847, in the early evening, a relief party of seven, commanded by Captain Reason P. Tucker, reached Donner Lake.

They were wrong.” Welcome to Fables Agreed Upon: A Historical True Crime Podcast! This week is part three of our Donner Party mini-series.

4. The Donner-Reed Party Part Two

“On top of everything else, winter comes a month early, rendering the Sierra Nevada mountains impassible. As a result, the party is stranded in a few hastily built little cabins, trapped in the snow near what is now known as Donner Lake. It is here, on the shore of this little lake, that our story resumes.” Welcome to Fables Agreed Upon: A Historical True Crime Podcast! This week is part two of our Donner Party mini-series. In this episode, we discuss James Reed and William McCutcheon’s attempts to return their families, the Forlorn Hope, and the events that transpired at Donner Lake that bleak winter.

3. The Donner-Reed Party Part One

“The year is 1846, and it’s a cold, bitter winter. An ill-fated group of pioneers are trapped, snowed into crude little cabins near a lake in the Sierra Nevada. The food is gone, the horse and oxen have been eaten. Spines shiver and stomachs growl. A party of fifteen has gone out, seeking help, but there’s no telling when, or if, they’ll return. And so, the unthinkable occurs.” Welcome to Fables Agreed Upon: A Historical True Crime Podcast! This week is part one of our Donner Party mini-series. In this episode, we discuss everything from the moment the Donner Party left Springfield, Illinois, and all the events leading up to those four cold and bitter months the travelers spent trapped at Donner Lake.

A Christmas Special: Santa Claus Stole Christmas

“Marshall Ratliff put on a Santa suit and got out of the car a few blocks from the First National Bank. Before long, he had a herd of children following him, all hoping for a chance to talk to Santa. They followed him to an alley beside the red brick, one-story bank, where he joined the other three men. Ratliff led the way into the bank, and the other men drew their guns.” Welcome to the Fables Agreed Upon: A Historical True Crime Podcast Christmas Special! This week, we’ll be discussing the 1927 bank robbery featuring Santa Claus. This story has everything: a bank robbery, a car chase, prison breaks, and TWO shootouts!
