True Crime All The Time

For years, a killer stalked the streets of Dayton, Ohio, firing a shotgun at unsuspecting victims before disappearing into the night. The attacks seemed random, but behind the violence was a deeply troubled man driven by racial hatred, paranoia, and disturbing beliefs. How did Neal Bradley Long, the notorious “Shotgun Slayer,” manage to terrorize a city for so long without being caught?

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Neal Bradley Long. In part two, we dig into Long’s troubled past, his chilling confessions, and the motivations behind his crimes, including the murder of Dr. Charles Glatt. We’ll also examine the legal battles that followed and explore the possibility that Long was responsible for even more murders, including an unsolved killing that ignited the 1966 Dayton race riots.

In the early 1970s, Dayton, Ohio, was terrorized by a gunman who became known as the “Shotgun Slayer.” African American residents on the city’s west side were seemingly targeted at random, leaving multiple people dead and many others wounded. For years, police struggled to identify the person responsible. Then, in September 1975, Neal Bradley Long walked into a federal building and murdered Dr. Charles Glatt, a sociologist tasked with developing a desegregation plan for Dayton’s public schools.

Join Mike and Gibby for part 1 of 2 on Neal Bradley Long. Long’s arrest would soon connect him to at least 21 attacks against African Americans between 1972 and 1975. In Part 1, we examine the shootings attributed to the Shotgun Slayer, the fear they created throughout Dayton, the murder of Dr. Glatt, and how investigators finally identified Neal Bradley Long as the man behind the violence.

James Robertson entered Florida’s prison system as a teenager and spent decades accumulating additional time for violence, weapons offenses, and attempted escapes. After years in close management, Robertson became convinced that life on death row would be preferable. In 2008, he put a chilling plan into motion, strangling his cellmate, Frank Hart, with a garrote made from socks—just eight days before Hart was scheduled to be released.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of James Robertson. Robertson openly admitted the murder was premeditated and made it clear that he had a specific reason for committing it. His story raises disturbing questions about decades of incarceration, prolonged isolation, violence behind bars, and the extraordinary lengths one prisoner was willing to go to change the circumstances of his confinement.

In January 2016, 13-year-old Nicole Lovell vanished from her home in Christiansburg, Virginia, after apparently climbing out of her bedroom window for a secret late-night meeting. Nicole had endured serious health problems from infancy and struggled with bullying and loneliness, often turning to social media to connect with others. When investigators examined her online activity, they discovered she had been communicating for months with an older Virginia Tech student through the messaging app Kik.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Nicole Lovell. What began as a missing-person investigation quickly took a horrifying turn when Nicole’s body was discovered 90 miles from home in North Carolina. Digital records, GPS data, surveillance footage, and forensic evidence would ultimately reveal an elaborate plot involving two Virginia Tech students and raise disturbing questions about online predators, manipulation, and the dangers vulnerable children can face on the internet.
