Description

In December 2009, a Louisville hairdresser and beloved drag queen named Jamie Carroll walked into a Victorian mansion in Old Louisville — and never walked out. For seven months, he lay buried beneath the basement floor while the two men who killed him went on with their lives above his grave. Nobody reported him missing. Nobody came looking. Until a 911 call, a domestic dispute, and four words spoken in the back of a squad car changed everything. In Part 1 of Buried Beneath Fourth Street, Kris and Rob introduce you to Jamie Carroll — hairstylist by day, drag queen Ronica Reed by night — and to the two men at the center of one of Kentucky's most twisted true crime cases: Jeffrey "Jase" Mundt, the polished IT professional hiding a dangerous double life, and Joey Banis, the persistent felon fresh out of prison who was tangled up with Jamie long before he ever moved into that mansion on South 4th Street. We lay out the love triangle, the fatal December night, the horrifying cover-up, and the thread that finally unraveled everything — from a counterfeit $100 bill at a Chicago hotel to the words that sent detectives straight to that basement floor. In this episode: Who was Jamie Carroll? Hairstylist. Drag queen Ronica Reed. A man everyone loved. Who were Jeffrey Mundt and Joey Banis? Two very different men bound together by drugs and obsession. The love triangle that ignited a deadly night in December 2009 The cover-up inside the mansion at 1435 South 4th Street The Chicago counterfeiting arrest that started the unraveling The 911 call, the squad car, and the words that cracked the case wide open Part 2 drops next week.
