Hello and welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. In this chilling true-crime episode, we unravel the disturbing story of Matthew Hoffman, the Ohio man whose obsession with trees and leaves hid a far darker secret. When three people vanished from the small town of Mount Vernon in 2010, investigators stumbled upon a nightmarish scene inside Hoffman’s home — walls lined with leaves, strange journals, and a lone survivor. Join us as we dive deep into Hoffman’s troubled past, the shocking details of his crimes, and the psychological unraveling that led to one of the most bizarre and horrifying cases in modern Ohio history. Featuring expert commentary, case files, and haunting first-hand accounts, this episode explores the twisted mind behind the “Leaf Killer.” Check out our Facebook page!: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558042082494¬if_id=1717202186351620¬if_t=page_user_activity&ref=notif⁠⁠⁠ Please check other podcast episodes like this at: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.ohiomysteries.com/⁠⁠⁠ Dan hosts a Youtube Channel called: Ohio History and Haunts where he explores historical and dark places around Ohio: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj5x1eJjHhfyV8fomkaVzsA Learn more about your ad choices.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
