MFM Minisode 483

In this special minisode of My Favorite Murder, Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark celebrate the addition of the acclaimed podcasts Disgraceland and Hollywoodland to the Exactly Right Network, with host Jake Brennan joining their Marvel Universe. The episode features a series of gripping true crime and celebrity stories, beginning with a chilling tale from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where a DJ named DJ Freeze—later revealed to be Raymond Rowe—was arrested 25 years after the murder of 24-year-old elementary school teacher Christy Mirak. The case was cracked using Ancestry DNA, and the shocking twist is that Rowe had DJed the very wedding of the woman who uncovered the connection. The hosts reflect on the eerie reality of criminals living in plain sight. The episode continues with powerful personal accounts: a server who refused to serve R. Kelly, a punk rock teenager who unknowingly served Ringo Starr, and a woman whose grandmother famously disrupted a Broadway performance of Newsies by refusing to be shushed—only to be confronted by Star Trek legend George Takei. The episode closes with a heartfelt tribute to the power of community, trust, and staying true to oneself, all while promoting the new network lineup and the importance of supporting true crime storytelling.
