Welcome back. Episode 13, I hope you are not superstitious.

As of this recording the farm is cooler and wetter, the haze of an off again on again

Ozarks rainy spell adds some haze to the evening, making the shadows dance in the setting sun only to loom large and dark before sunset.

Its both dreary and lovely….

Welcome Gentlepeople!

We have quite a podcast as we talk about some Ozarks cemetery lore, with two guests well acquainted on the subject so you will want to stick around.

We also are proud to present a scholarly look at The Roots of Ozark Witchcraft, with cultural anthropologist Justin Minor. Should you want to curse someone or throw a hex on your neighbors apple crop THIS IS NOT the episode for you. That is another episode.

Also we will soon be producing an experiment.

This is something that I've been wanting to try for sometime.

A podcast where you follow my research as you listen.

Newspapers.com is one of my favorite tools,

I know there are more of you who feel the same, what if we did an episode where as you listened you could follow along with the original print?

Currently we have two in the offing,

one on graverobbing and another on wild men! Be sure to look for updates on these including instructions on how to follow along.

end me your thoughts, I hope todays episode primes the pump so to speak.

On June 30, 1989 Kelle Ann Workman was mowing the Dogwood Cemetery in rural Douglas County when she disappeared. After a week of searching her body was found. While many attempts have been made to uncover the truth, The Webster County Citizen, an independent weekly paper, can be credited with keeping the case in front of the public, informing them of new leads and always demanding justice on behalf of Kelle Ann and her family.

Today we are fortunate to be joined by the editor and publisher of the Webster County Citizen Dan Wehmer. For most of the last 36 years, Dan has been on point for every new lead and June anniversary. Now that it seems justice will finally be served, he opens up to us, offering a frank assessment of the crime, the investigation and ultimately the break that led to the arrest of Kelle Anne’s killers. Join us where you get your podcasts

Join us on the Wild N Woolly Ozarks Podcast this week as we explore the murder of Kelle Ann Workman, an Ozarks cold-case finally solved!

We visit with the publisher of the Webster County Citizen Dan Wehmer who for the majority of his career in journalism has trumpeted the outcry for justice. Join us as we dissect one of the Ozarks most famous unsolved cases. Find the Wild N Woolly Ozarks Podcast where you get your podcasts. Thank you for your support!

Hello Folks and welcome to a very special episode of the Wild N Woolly Ozarks

The Wild N Woolly Ozarks is a podcast dedicated to the Ozarks, the land and the people. Here we specialize in stories with the bark on ‘em, we delve into topics best left alone and wander down historical rabbit holes where we sort out myth from history. So what kind of podcast is it? We're not wholly sure. A podcast that gives you the unvarnished backstory? A podcast that wants to talk about Spanish Treasure, Ghosts, monsters, myths and legends? How about Civil War atrocities, true crime from settlement to date and unsolved mysteries that linger? We are all of that so pull up a chair and have a listen.
