Another great state!

I love this series. Such a great variety of cases, and I specifically loved that some unsolved cases were included! Just enough info about the cases to give you relevant details without all the armchair detective speculation. The narration is clear and easy to listen to.

The worst of the Sunshine state

In this edition of Ashley Hudson's intriguing United States of True Crime series, she focuses on the Sunshine state. In a still shocking chapter, Michelle Parker went missing the day she appeared on a pre-taped episode of the popular courtroom show, The People's Court. The day she disappeared in 2011, she dropped off her kids with their father, and hasn't been seen since. The family remains hopeful she will be found one day, but the general belief is that Parker is no longer with us.

Hudson includes some still unsolved mysteries, such as the Miami Canal murders. She also features the Sun Gym gang, and their demise. The thugs kidnapped a millionaire, tutored him until he signed away all of his assets. Marc Schiller was the perfect target as he was a fraudster himself. However, their luck ran out when they killed two victims before they could surrender their assets.

In "United States of True Crime: Florida," Hudson outlines the criminal careers of the state's serial killers - Aileen Wuornos, who gained national notoriety being a female serial killer, the Jacksonville Strangler, the deranged Hangman Killer, the prolific killer Paul John Knowles (dubbed the Casanova Killer), and the Killer Clown, Sheila Keen Warren. Hudson is a phenomenal true crime storyteller, and as always, she provides gripping narration!
