Welcome to this very special episode. Back when I started the podcast I did a pre-episode one -- Shenanigan Headlines, which aired on February 6th of this year - 2023. It was a lot of fun, and not Rochester NY based.

I figured it was about time to do a 2nd installment, where we look at some crazy crimes committed around the country -- only I like the title of What Were They Thinking Headlines much, much better.

I do hope that you like this episode and decide to comb through my growing library of true-crime podcasts.

In the spring of 1998, two 12 year old boys rode together on a dirt bike, one balanced standing on the rear tire pegs.

Just outside of Holley, New York, the boys took the bike off-road. They came upon a shallow stream filled with fish. Although they didn’t have fishing poles with them, they didn’t plan on letting that stop them from making a catch.

Unfortunately, during the foray of fun, they stumbled upon something else. They found under some brush, and in the water, a human skull -- and the skeletal remains of a person.

November 9, 1986

Saturday, November 9, 1986, Two unemployed men were arrested on charges they killed five people during a three-day spree of robberies and arson fires that terrorized two Rochester neighborhoods. They call it a 5 People killing spree.
