The Murder of Kathryn Crigler & Betty Jones

💄🧠 Lipgloss & Lobotomies Podcast Episode Description

This week on Lipgloss & Lobotomies, we’re unraveling two chilling stories separated by more than a century—but forever connected by the search for the truth.

First, we brave the frozen Arctic to explore Sir John Franklin’s infamous 1845 expedition aboard the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. What was meant to be a historic voyage through the Northwest Passage became one of the greatest maritime disasters in history. We’ll dive into the disappearance of 129 men, the haunting discoveries made decades later, and the science that’s finally helping piece together what happened in the Arctic ice.

Then, we head to Starkville, Mississippi, to examine the tragic murders of Kathryn Crigler and Betty Jones. On Labor Day in 1990, a violent home invasion claimed the lives of two beloved women and devastated their community. For years, investigators refused to give up, and decades later, advances in forensic DNA technology finally led to the identification and conviction of the man responsible. We’ll discuss the crime, the long road to justice, and how perseverance and modern science helped bring answers after more than 30 years.

From a doomed expedition lost to the Arctic to a cold case that was finally solved, this episode explores the enduring pursuit of truth—even when it takes generations to find it.
