episode Catching The Monster of Davidson Avenue: The Solved 1996 Murder of Jasmine Porter cover

Catching The Monster of Davidson Avenue: The Solved 1996 Murder of Jasmine Porter

In February of 1996, a pregnant woman is attacked in her Bronx apartment with her young son as a witness to the brutal crime. The case seems like it is going to be solved early on when a witness comes forward and names who they say did this. But as quickly as this comes together, it falls apart and the case goes cold for over two decades. That was until a series of events lands the case in the hands of Bronx Homicide Detective Robert Klein who starts reworking the case from the beginning. The investigation into Jasmine’s murder perfectly illustrates how nothing is as seen on TV. Detective Klein’s thoughts on who did it weaved in and out of different people in Jasmine’s social circle as he reinterviewed key people. That was until a DNA hit revealed a name that was nowhere in the police file and uncovered a monster who had terrorized the women of Davidson Avenue for years.   Episode Guest: Robert Klein  Case suggestions: simplertimecrimepod@gmail.com IG: @simplertimecrimepod Youtube: https://youtube.com/@simplertimecrimepod?si=OlCWQ2Ky8qFaof02 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simplertimecrimep?_t=8s31x9iCrNv&_r=1 Music By Universfield: https://pixabay.com/music/mystery-dramatic-atmosphere-with-piano-and-violin-143149/ Thumbmail art: Lauren Kelty, host of True Crime BFF Podcast Source Material: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/19/insider/a-break-in-a-bronx-cold-case-sends-a-reporter-back-to-the-beginning.html [https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/19/insider/a-break-in-a-bronx-cold-case-sends-a-reporter-back-to-the-beginning.html] https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/03/nyregion/jasmine-porter-murder-bronx.html [https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/03/nyregion/jasmine-porter-murder-bronx.html] https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/nyregion/bronx-cold-case-strangling-plea.html https://www.norwoodnews.org/bronx-man-gets-12-years-for-killing-2nd-pregnant-woman-in-1996-had-also-killed-woman-in-1987/ https://www.bronxda.nyc.gov/downloads/pdf/pr/2026/10-2026-Gregory-Fleetwood-sentenced-1996-strangling-pregnant-woman.pdf https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-reporter-dispatch-thelma-martin/197752043/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-simpler-time-true-crime--6665681/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/a-simpler-time-true-crime--6665681/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

episode The Camera on Bumblebee Road: The Unsolved Double Homicide of Brandon Rumbaugh and Lisa Gurrieri cover

The Camera on Bumblebee Road: The Unsolved Double Homicide of Brandon Rumbaugh and Lisa Gurrieri

In 2003, a young couple heads into the remote desert of Yavapai County to celebrate their anniversary. They only had time for a quick overnight trip, so they decided to spend the evening together beneath the stars, camping in the back of a pickup truck. But when the two failed to show up to obligations the next morning, friends began to worry.  Because the couple had shared their camping plans with people close to them, the friends and family searching for them had a starting point on where to look for them and locate the truck. And when they approached it, they walked into the worst-case scenario. Nearby, a damaged disposable camera was recovered that appeared to have been intentionally destroyed. Despite that attempt, police were still able to process the film inside. Out of all the photos recovered, three images in particular immediately stood out to investigators. More than twenty years later, people are still asking the same question: were those three photographs an important clue to what happened that night, or a red herring that sent investigators down the wrong path? TIPS: Yavapai Silent Witness is offering up to a $10,000 cash reward for information that leads to an arrest in this case.

episode A Web of Truth and Lies: The Unsolved Disappearance of Barbara Cotton cover

A Web of Truth and Lies: The Unsolved Disappearance of Barbara Cotton

One night in the spring of 1981, a North Dakota teenager didn’t come home. Sometimes when it feels like someone has vanished into thin air, there are very few leads to go on. And for many of the decades that followed, that’s how this case appeared to people outside the local area. There was one clear last sighting of Barb, and then she was gone. But as the case was revisited and looked at more closely by her family, an investigative podcaster, and members of the community, it became clear that there had always been quiet talk about what may have happened to her. A mysterious boyfriend. A killer passing through town. And clues that pointed closer to home. In this episode, I talk through those pieces with Barb’s younger sister, Kathy, and share what has been uncovered, along with where the case stands today, 45 years later.

episode Arrest Made in Cindy Wanner Case: An Update with Original Episode cover

Arrest Made in Cindy Wanner Case: An Update with Original Episode

An arrest has been made in the 1991 Killing of Cindy Wanner. Here you'll hear the original episode plus the updates.  A mother is making a little extra money by cleaning her sister's house in an upscale neighborhood. She is feeding her eleven-month old daughter cereal in her high chair while cleaning each room. Somewhere in a small forty-five minute window, someone would gain access to the house and brazenly abduct Cindy in front of her child. Cindy would be found murdered three weeks later, but the autopsy would reveal that she had been kept alive for two weeks after her abduction and open up the investigation to a whole new round of questions. Was there a new serial killer operating in an area that had already been plagued by a few? Was her case related to other crimes in the area? Cindy's case is so solvable, with DNA evidence just waiting for witness testimony to strengthen the case.

episode The One Still Missing: The Unsolved Abduction of Bambi Brantley cover

The One Still Missing: The Unsolved Abduction of Bambi Brantley

From 1986 to 1990, a small community in Louisiana was shaken by a series of disappearances involving teenage girls and young women. By 1990, after multiple cases happened close together, people began to notice patterns. Some of the victims shared similar appearances. A few were last known to be using a phone, including public payphones, around the time they vanished. Some were the teenage daughters of military families stationed nearby. Others were new to the area. As the community tried to make sense of it, many believed the cases had to be connected. But over time, arrests would show something more complicated. These disappearances were not all the work of a single person. Some of these cases have since been solved. Others remain cold. And one woman is still missing. Her name is Bambi. Today, I’m focusing on her case. But to understand it, we also have to look at the others, where they stand, what connects them, and what does not. Because it raises a bigger question. How did a town of just five thousand people experience this much loss in such a short period of time? TIPS: Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office at (337) 238-7248.
