Scandal Water

“What we didn’t know was that where you sat on the bus that night literally determined your fate…”

 

These words were spoken by Harold Dennis, Jr., a survivor of the Carrollton Bus Crash. 

 

Harold was one of the 40 passengers who– late in the evening of May 14, 1988– made it off the church bus that had turned into a fiery inferno after being hit nearly head-on by a drunk driver. 

 

In episode 2 of our series on the Carrollton Bus Crash we share accounts from Harold and other survivors about the crash and their escape from the burning bus, as gleaned from the 2013 documentary “Impact: After the Crash” and other sources.

On Saturday, May 14, 1988, a group left the Radcliff First Assembly of God in Kentucky for a fun youth trip to Kings Island amusement park, never dreaming that 27 of them wouldn’t make it home. 

 

To this day, the tragedy known as the Carrollton Bus Crash remains the deadliest drunk driving incident in U.S. history. 

 

In episode 1 of our limited series on the Carrollton Bus Crash, we discuss the circumstances leading up to that fateful church trip and introduce a number of the 67 passengers who boarded the bus that beautiful May morning– the vast majority of them children.

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. It is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.

In last week’s episode, you heard the details behind the fascinating double-murder case involving Verna Garr Taylor and Henry Denhardt, former Kentucky Lieutenant Governor.

This week, we have the privilege of speaking with Ann D’Angelo, author of the book “Dark Highway,” which delves into this infamous case.

What insights did Ann glean from descendants of both Verna and Henry? What actually happened during that fateful day trip that ended with Verna lying in a ditch, dead from a gunshot? Did Henry really kill the woman at the center of the Seelbach’s “Lady in Blue” legend? Was Henry’s death an act of self-defense or murder? And what theory best explains the unsolved mystery of how Verna actually died?

We discuss all this and so much more in this lively interview with author Ann D’Angelo. So don’t miss your chance to travel the “Dark Highway” with the woman who spent 6 years researching these sensational murders.

On November 6, 1936, beautiful Verna Garr Taylor left for a day trip with her fiancé, former Lieutenant Governor Henry Denhardt. By day’s end, she would be lying in a ditch off Kentucky’s Highway 22 with a single bullet through her chest.

Her fiancé immediately declared it a suicide. To the people investigating the case, it looked like murder.

This is just the beginning of the fascinating double-murder case detailed in the book “Dark Highway” by Ann D’Angelo… a case so sensational, it made front-page news across the nation for nearly a year.

In this week’s episode, we walk you through the circumstances leading up to Verna’s death along that dark highway, as well as the equally shocking events that followed.

You won’t want to miss this episode! Not only will you be drawn into the intriguing Taylor/Denhardt murder case, but it’ll also prepare you for our fascinating interview with author Ann D’Angelo that will air next week.

On Tuesday, July 24, 1984, a friend discovered 68-year-old Delores Lynch, deceased, on the driveway outside her home. Upon arrival, the police– including Oldham County detective Lynn Nobles– also discovered Delores’s 39-year-old daughter Janie inside. Both women had died from gunshot wounds that appeared to be from a professional hit.

Before it was all said and done, 7 more would be dead and two families nearly destroyed.

This bizarre and tragic murder case, as detailed by Jerry Bledsoe in his best-selling true crime book “Bitter Blood” and a subsequent 1994 made-for-TV miniseries, was the subject of a Scandal Water episode last September.

And in today’s very special Varietea episode, we are proud to share our follow-up interview with the aforementioned detective, Lynn Nobles, who not only worked the Lynch murder investigation from the very beginning, but was also present during that fateful police chase in North Carolina, even sustaining an injury from Fritz Klenner’s gunfire.

You won’t want to miss this interview during which Lynn walks us through the case from his own first-hand perspective, sharing new insights and clarifying a few points that were missed in the book.
