The story of Lisa Irwin, who went missing when she was just 10 months old, has riveted the nation and left behind unanswered questions.  How does a 10-month old infant disappear from her crib, never to be seen again?  The police have focused on Lisa’s mother, Deborah, although there was plenty of evidence pointing to an abduction.

Deborah drank heavily the night Lisa disappeared and changed her story with police, increasing suspicions.  During the subsequent investigation, two witnesses were discovered who claimed to have seen a man walking down the street with a baby. Police were able to find and question a man matching the description of one witness, but the other witness claimed that his photo does not match the man they saw.

So, what is the current status of the investigation into Lisa’s disappearance?  Join us at the quiet end as we review Lisa’s story, the evidence, and the investigation.  If you’re thirsty, don’t worry, Dick has brought the beer.

The Lillelid family van drove on through the twilight in Greenville, Tennessee, in April of 1997. Gravel crunched beneath its wheels as quiet sobs echoed inside. The sun had set, and dusk gave way to nightfall. When the van stopped, the doors opened to an unusual congregation. One by one, the occupants climbed out. A run down car pulled up the road behind them and came to a stop beside them.

Six young adults from Kentucky know what happened that Sunday evening. The Lillelid family, including two small children, were shot and left for dead.


Join us at the quiet end as we go into the background of the victims and perpetrators of the Lillelid killings, revisit the cold-blooded crime, and learn about the trial and punishments that resulted.

Dick's beer of the week is Noble Cuvee Dry Hop Saison from Blackberry Farm

Sheila Bellush's 13-year-old daughter Stevie came home from school on November 7th, 1997, and found her 23-month-old quadruplet siblings crying and spotted with blood. Sheila was on the laundry room floor, dead from a gunshot wound to her face and a large gash to her throat. It was clear that there had been a struggle. Blood covered the floor and smeared the walls.

The babies had witnessed the brutal crime and remained alone with their deceased mother for hours.


The family had recently moved to Sarasota,Florida, to escape the harassment and threats of Sheila's ex-husband. They had begun a new life, revealing their location to only a few close relatives. But now, investigators believed that there was a complicated plot, conceived by Sheila's wealthy ex, for a brutal murder for hire.
This is a story of two divergent lives coming together and pulling apart, resulting in obsession, rage, and a cruel murder carried out in front of four innocent eyewitnesses: Sheila's babies.

On the morning of July 18th, 2014, Ross Harris was expected to bring his 22-month-old son Cooper to daycare on his way to work.  Ross and Cooper ate breakfast at a Chick-fil-A restaurant less than one mile from Ross’ office.  After breakfast, Ross drove his SUV to the Home Depot office where he worked.  Cooper was strapped in a rear-facing car seat in the back.  Ross went into his office at 9:25am, leaving Cooper in his car seat.

At about 12:30, Ross got lunch with 2 co-workers at a nearby Publix.  Then he purchased light bulbs from a nearby Home Depot store.  When Ross returned to his office building, he opened his driver’s side door and put the light bulbs in the front seat.  He would claim that he didn’t notice Cooper was still there.

It was past 4pm, after Ross left work, when he said that he discovered Cooper’s lifeless body and he stopped at a nearby shopping center and called for help.  Witnesses and first responders found Ross’ behavior to be strange and suspicious.

Ultimately, a secret life and murder plot would be revealed.  The cruelty of this crime, by a father against his young son, was unimaginable.

On this episode of True Crime Brewery, A Devil Down in Georgia: The Murder of Cooper Harris, Dick and I are discussing the sad and unthinkable death of Cooper Harris.  What we find out about Ross Harris’ secret life and motivations is a lesson in selfishness and callousness. Dick also shares with us his medical expertise on hyperthermia, the suffering endured by Cooper Harris, and the 30 plus accidental hot car deaths occurring each year in the United States.
