In each episode of Crimes of the Centuries, award-winning journalist Amber Hunt will examine a case that’s lesser known today but was huge when it happened. The cases explored span the centuries and each left a mark. Some made history by changing laws. Others were so shocking they changed society.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T20:22:35.066214+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689"},"episode":{"title":"S6: TRUTH DEFERRED S1E1: Love Lost & Justice Unraveling","slug":"s6-truth-deferred-s1e1-love-lost-justice-unraveling","published_at":"2026-07-06T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689/s6-truth-deferred-s1e1-love-lost-justice-unraveling","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8920971","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8920971.mp3?modified=1782407513&sid=5034723&source=rss","summary":"In 1884 Cincinnati, a string of brutal murders and a verdict that outraged the public set off a chain of events that would end in one of the darkest moments in American history — the largest massacre of unarmed civilians by National Guard troops on U.S. soil. In Truth Deferred, historians Mike and Amy Morgan investigate what actually happened — and present the truth that was deliberately buried for over 140 years. While Amber's on vacation, we share Episode 1 of Truth Deferred: The story starts on Monday, March 31, 1884. The streets are covered in blood. Over 50 people are dead, and some are dying in the hallways of the hospital. Every window has been smashed out of the jail, and the county courthouse is a smoldering ruin. To find out how we got here, we travel back to an imperfect love story ending in a public murder, and how the case of William McHugh illustrates a growing distrust of the criminal justice system.
