Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.

I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.

In the world’s most dangerous working environments it can seem like everything is out to kill you. The equipment you use. The materials you work with. The very air you breathe. Stored energy is a coiled viper waiting for the right moment to lash out. Owners, manufacturers, contractors, and beyond have developed safety protocols to combat STCKY, that is, Stuff That Can Kill You. Gravity, Motion, Mechanical, Electrical, Pressure, Sound, Radiation, Biological, Chemical, Temperature. This season is all about the means of murder as authors put our STCKY detective skills to the test. This is Season 9, Stuff That Can Kill You.

This is Episode 17, where Gravity is our STCKY means of death. This is Fatal Crush by Jason Little

Deliberation

Detective Eric Stockton is going in circles on this one. Everyone claims to have loved Carolyn “Cari” Walters Vanderkamp, but someone did arrange for her to be in the building when it fall. Here are his suspects in the order we’ve met them:

• Miguel Contreras, co-owner of business, on his way to citizenship

• Caramon Andovar, Cari’s current love. Or is he?

• Alexandra “Sandra” Vanderkamp, wife of the company’s founder

• Grady Thompson, long-time employee
