27 NOV 2023 · In an episode of 'The Elkhart Tapes', the brutal 1983 murders of a young, expectant couple, Donna and Carson Friend, in Stanton County, Kansas are explored. Cocaine residue found in the couple's car and the implication of a local man, Larry Hackney, pointed towards a drug-related motive. This was further complicated by the involvement of brother-in-law and alleged undercover informant for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI), Mike Walker. The episode delves into the trial proceedings, focusing on the use of criminal informants, the role of law enforcement agencies and the criticism faced by the KBI. Also scrutinized is the controversial decision to charge Hackney with the murder of the unborn child. In the end, despite Hackney's acquittal, the true perpetrators and the motive for the Friend's murders remain shrouded in mystery.

4 NOV 2023 · In this revealing episode of The Elkhart Tapes, host Derek takes listeners through the poignant unraveling of Heartland Tri-State Bank—a financial bastion turned cautionary tale. Once the lifeblood of Elkhart, Kansas, the bank's sudden collapse sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community. Derek delves into the human side of this financial disaster, exploring how the town’s once-celebrated leader, Shan Hanes, went from the pride of Elkhart to the eye of a storm of skepticism and scandal. Through interviews and personal insights, this episode weaves a story of trust built over decades and eroded in moments, and the lingering question of how a local institution's downfall could reverberate through the very fabric of a small American town. 'Heartland's Heartbreak' isn’t just the chronicle of a bank's demise—it's a reflection on the fragility of community bonds in the face of adversity.
