    Ep 317: A tangled Toledo mystery
    Aug 25 2025
    In 1931, the Lucas County coroner ruled that 11-year-old Eddie Baginski accidentally drowned in a local creek. In 1934, a pivotal strike at the Electric Auto-Lite plant near downtown led to two deaths when Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire. Two completely unrelated tragedies - until a local man tried to claim he was twice a murderer.www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.comwww.patreon.com/ohiomysterieswww.twitter.com/mysteriesohiowww.facebook.com/ohiomysteriesAdditional music:New Horizon - Aderin; Audionautix- The Great Unknown; The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.
