131. Jason Rose and John Jones: Dungeons and Dragons Sacrificial Killing of Melissa Meyer in Oregon

Author: Paige Elmore September 12, 2022 Duration: 45:28
In 1988, 17-year-old John Jones met 20-year-old Jason Rose at a mall in Oregon. John was a loner who wanted to be accepted, to fit in somewhere, to impress people. When he met Jason and they clicked, it was like a cult leader and cult follower dynamic. John didn’t want to let Jason down. They shared similar interests, including the tabletop role playing game, Dungeons and Dragons. What they didn’t have in common, Jason would teach John about. Such as vampirism and sacrifices. 19-year-old Melissa Meyer was from Seattle and had recently moved to Eugene, Oregon. She happened to meet John and considered him a true friend. Melissa didn’t know John was more loyal to Jason than her and would soon guide her to her untimely death in a forested area in Springfield, Oregon.

Hosted by Paige Elmore, Reverie True Crime explores the unsettling space between quiet thought and grim reality. The title itself is a deliberate contrast-a reverie is often a peaceful daydream, but our minds don't always wander to safe places. This podcast delves into those shadowy corners of curiosity about the darkest human acts. Each episode is built on a foundation of thorough research, examining not just the facts of a case but the profound cultural and societal ripples that follow. You’ll hear detailed narratives of long-forgotten mysteries and contemporary injustices, always with an ear for the human stories at their core. Paige guides listeners through these complex tales with a measured and thoughtful approach, focusing on the lasting impacts on victims, families, and communities. The show sits at the intersection of several genres, offering news-worthy updates, cultural analysis, and deep societal reflection, all through the lens of true crime. It’s for anyone who has ever wondered about the how and why behind the headlines, seeking understanding rather than sensationalism. In this podcast, the aim is to satisfy that haunting curiosity with respect and depth, transforming a simple daydream into a meaningful examination of the world's harder truths.
