  • 116. The Murders of Dr. and Mrs. Littlefield – Part 2
    Dec 24 2025

    In Part 2 of our analysis of The Murders of Dr. and Mrs. Littlefield in South Paris, Maine, we turn to Paul Dwyer’s final confession in which he directly implicated Deputy Sheriff Francis Carroll in the murders. This statement dramatically reframes the case and forces a re-evaluation of Dwyer’s role in these crimes. Part 2 of 2.

  • 115. The Murders of Dr. and Mrs. Littlefield – Part 1
    Dec 17 2025

    In part 1 of our analysis of The Murders of Dr. and Mrs. Littlefield, we examine the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Dr. James Littlefield and his wife, Lydia, in 1937. Their bodies were discovered in their car in North Arlington, New Jersey, far from their home in South Paris, Maine, with 18-year-old Paul Dwyer at the wheel. The discovery launched an investigation that raised questions which persist to this day. Subsequent proceedings introduced competing explanations for the murders. One theory holds that Dwyer acted alone. Another contends that Deputy Sheriff Francis Carroll was the primary offender, with Dwyer forced to assist in covering up the crime. We try to answer what most likely happened. Part 1 of 2.

  • Bonus Episode – Notorious: Maine Crime in the Public Eye, 1690–1940
    Dec 6 2025

    In this bonus episode, Tiffany Link, Collections Curator for the Maine Historical Society and co-curator of the exhibition “Notorious: Maine Crime in the Public Eye, 1690–1940” joins the show. Tiffany discusses how the exhibition was developed and why the cases were chosen. We explore how crime reporting evolved from broadsides to newspapers to early photojournalism, and how the public’s relationship with crime has changed, and in some ways stayed the same.

    Tiffany also talks about the artifacts featured in the exhibition, the challenges of presenting historical crimes ethically, and why this exhibition resonates with today’s true crime audiences.

    Notorious runs through the end of December at the Maine Historical Society in Portland, Maine. For more information, visit the Maine Historical Society website: https://www.mainehistory.org/all-exhibitions/notorious-maine-crime-in-the-public-eye/
