Emash Digital & Mike Ferguson

Criminology is a true crime podcast that takes a deep dive into some of the most famous cases in the annals of crime. Hosts Mike Ferguson and Mike Morford will give you every details of these infamous crimes. New episodes come out every Saturday night at 10 PM.

Criminology

In this episode we are talking about the Weaver family. Ward Weaver Jr., Ward Weaver III, and Francis Weaver are three generations of Weavers who displayed vicious criminality. All experienced violence during childhood and went on to repeat the cycle of violence.
 
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Weaver family. Ward Weaver Jr committed murder and sexual assault. His son Ward Weaver III abducted and murdered Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis. His son Francis was ultimately involved in a murder as well. Nature vs. nurture is a question that comes up often in true crime cases, and this might be one of the most fascinating examinations of that.

The Weaver Family

On Friday, November 24th, 1989, eighteen-year-old Amanda Stavik, who went by Mandy, went for a run around 2:30 in the afternoon. Kyra, the family's German Shepherd, ran with her. This run was often a family affair, with Mandy's mother, Mary, joining on her bike. Because of the holiday, though, Mary was busy at the time, so Mandy decided to head out alone. When Kyra returned to the family home without Amanda, the family became worried.
 
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the murder of Amanda Stavik. The family's worry quickly increased after searching for her but finding nothing. Three days after she went missing, the search for Mandy came to a sad end when she was found dead, submerged in the Nooksack River. The search for her killer took decades, and in the end, the perpetrator was someone who should have been on the radar of the police early on.

Although we are off for a holiday break, we wanted to bring you this replay episode from the Criminology vault. It's the case of Rhonda Hinson which originally aired on 237 in December, 2022. We will be back with all new episodes starting January 3, 2026. Happy holidays!
 
 
 
On December 22nd, 1981, 19-year-old Rhonda Annette Hinson headed to an office Christmas party. In the early morning of the 23rd, she was found about a half mile from her home lying outside her car on the should of the road. The police determined that Rhonda had been shot by a high-powered rifle that went through her trunk, back seat, and into the driver's seat.
 
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the baffling death of Rhonda Hinson. Witnesses came forward the descriptions of cars seen near Rhonda's car. Police had to figure out if these were people involved in Rhonda's death or people who stopped to see what was happening. What clouded the waters even more was that it was revealed that Rhonda was not supposed to come home that night, and only a few people knew of her change in plans. The police looked closely at Rhonda's boyfriend, Greg, and a friend named Mark, whose girlfriend said she saw Rhonda's sweater in his car before Rhonda was killed. That sweater was later found in Rhonda's car. 41 years later, two big questions remain. What exactly happened in the death of Rhonda Hinson, and who was involved?

The Carnation Murders

In 1975, 22-year-old Judy Lord was suffocated and strangled in her Concord, NH apartment. From early on, police felt that they had a strong suspect, Ernie Gable, and even physical evidence that may help to prove it. But the case remained cold for decades.
 
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the case of Judy Lord. The technology the authorities had at their disposal was extremely limited in 1975. In November of 2025, police finally announced that they had solved Judy Lord's murder. Many people had been suspected over the years, but technology left no doubt as to the identity of Judy's murderer.

Like with Zodiac, the killer was never caught, but there are some very strong suspects, and as you'll hear, there's a mystery within a mystery, as these crimes are somehow linked to a case in which the killer was caught and went to prison.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Easter massacre perpetrated by James Ruppert. When the police arrived, they discovered this was more than a shooting, this was a massacre. There was never a doubt that James Ruppert was behind it. The real question was why Ruppert murdered eleven of his family members that day.
