A Body In The Cement Shanty

About this episode

The Racine Street Bridge Horror

When 14-year-old Hattie Zinka disappeared, people feared her body would be found in the river. It wasn't, but it was just as bad.

Ad-Free Safe House Edition


Episode 303 takes us back to 1909 Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where a teenage girl disappears while walking home from her married sister’s house. The area was known as a dark, dangerous place, but she’d made the journey many times. Until one fateful dark night... 

Culled from the historic pages of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and other newspapers of the era.
