Episode 206: The Murder of Leslie Spellman
Join Katie and Liz on another episode of True Crime New England as they discuss a decades-long unsolved murder. 27-year-old Leslie Spellman was hitchhiking with her younger sister in June of 1977, when they separated ways to try and end up at different locations. Unfortunately, Leslie was found the next morning in Northeast Harbor, Maine, bludgeoned to death. Due to the circumstances leading up to her death, like hitchhiking and being far from her home in Hingham, Massachusetts, the evidence of who did the crime was scarce. While she has potentially been connected to two serial killers, there has never been an official suspect named. Now, nearing 50 years later, her murder remains unsolved. Anyone with any information on the murder of Leslie Spellman is asked to please call Maine State Police at (207) 973-3750 or toll free at 800–432–7381.

Episode 205: Edward Wright
On this week’s episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz take a deep dive into the nightmare that is the case against Edward Wright, a man who was wrongly accused of killing his friend, Penny Anderson, in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1984. Edward was seen with Penny the night before her murder, and factors such as withheld evidence, false testimony, and racial bias led to his conviction of first-degree murder, ending with a life sentence. After 40 years and six motions for a new trial, Edward was able to work with the New England Innocence Project to get his wrongful conviction overturned.
