In the newest episode of 'Histories of Horror', AL & I delve into the tragic case of Glenda Piñeda, a young girl abducted and murdered in Springfield, Oregon, in 1984.

The conversation explores the haunting details of the crime, the impact on the community, and the importance of remembering victims like Glenda.

I share a personal connection to the case and reflect on how societal changes have led to a fading memory of such tragedies.

The episode emphasizes the need for awareness and vigilance in communities to prevent similar horrors from occurring again.

00:05the past, and I know you know what that's like because it's a quiet reminder of what
00:09happened there.
00:10So yeah, the story of Glinda Panita isn't just a simple ghost story.
00:14It's really a tragedy, and it reminds us that the shadows can fall on really any community
00:19anywhere at any time, A.L.
