About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "The Long Unsolved Murder" of a judge and his wife, released on October 1 2026 from Morning Cup of Murder, covers the arrest of Floyd Holzapfel on October 1, 1960, in connection with a case that had long gone cold. The episode frames the case around how the pursuit of power can push people toward acts they might never have believed themselves capable of.
The arrest, detailed under the title 'Floyd Holzapfel Arrested', is presented as the resolution of a years-long mystery tied to the deaths of two people. The episode ties the arrest directly to that desire for power as the motivating force behind the killings, describing how a case once considered unsolvable eventually caught up with the man responsible.
At just 13 minutes, the episode keeps its focus tight: the 1960 arrest itself, the cold case it closed, and the human cost behind it — two lives lost to someone's ambition.
