Sun, 11 Jan 2026 15:41:00 -0000

On a November night in Key West, FL in 2017, friends Paula and Roger were hanging out and partying in Paula’s makeshift home nicknamed “The Treehouse.” Without warning, they were suddenly accosted by two masked men, leading to a tragic killing. The subsequent police investigation quickly mutated into a convoluted conspiracy involving drugs, coercion, and corruption. The result: a lone defendant representing himself in court swearing that he had been falsely accused - a man Paula swore was not one of her attackers…

When the newly married Mark and Lori Phillips went out to celebrate their upcoming move to Bismarck in February of 2019, the night did not go according to plan.

Late in the evening on September 3rd, 2022, 41-year-old Mark Bent was sitting in his truck, drinking a homemade concoction of hard liquor and an energy drink, contemplating a big decision. Over the last year, Mark had found himself as the center of some drama in his new home state of Idaho. What started as a rumor escalated into harassment, which in turn made Mark’s life a living hell. It was only after Mark conveniently found himself outside the home of 23-year-old Nikolas Bird, the very man he held responsible for starting the rumors, that he decided to take matters into his own hands…

Chief Executive

Sun, 25 May 2025 05:00:00 -0000

When Payment Solutions CEO Geoffrey Biddle was found murdered in his own home, those who knew him were shocked. He had meaningful relationships with his friends, family, and employees, with no known enemies. He was the kind of man who was happy to lend a hand to a neighbor in need. But as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a trail of fraud, deception, and premeditation leading them straight to jaded ex-employee, Billy Phillips. Stolen checks, suspicious internet searches and a mountain of evidence painted a dark picture of a murderous crime driven by pure greed.

While hunting wild turkey in a remote National Forest in Virginia, a man stumbled upon a human corpse. The victim was 52-year-old Michael Kent Jamerson—but the true terror began only after his killer and supposed friend, Robert Gleason, was caught. Because for the state of Virginia, this murder was just the beginning of a far more disturbing plot…

Dammit Dave

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 05:01:00 -0000

Most of us trust that our legal system will deliver the right judgments and hold those who commit heinous crimes accountable. That trust extends to the support we expect to follow — the assumption that resources will be available after an unexpected tragedy. But the unfortunate truth is that not everyone is afforded these privileges, making the path to recovery and closure all the more complicated for survivors of violent crime who are left to pick up the pieces on their own. For the family of 70-year-old David Flaget, that journey was filled with obstacles. They were ultimately forced to take matters into their own hands in seeking justice after their beloved grandfather was murdered in a situation that was entirely preventable.

Betrayed by Blood

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 14:00:00 -0000

On a frigid Iowa morning in January of 2024, a woman arrived at her best friend’s home to pick her up for a coffee date. Almost immediately, there were signs that something was terribly wrong. Trusting her instincts, she entered the residence—only to be met with one of the most grisly and horrific scenes imaginable. The ensuing investigation proved to be a twisting road of violence, religion, and bizarre tangents—all leading back to the person who was supposed to be the victim’s most trusted caretaker…

Tent City People

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:41:00 -0000

In 2016, police in Columbus, Ohio, were dispatched to a homeless encampment known as a "tent city" near the Scioto River. Upon arrival, they discovered a gruesome crime scene—the brutal murder of a camp resident, Cathleen Howatt. Her death set off a complex and tragic investigation, drawing in law enforcement, as well as Cathleen’s loved ones, into a web of conflicting accounts, substance abuse, and the harsh realities of life on the streets of Columbus. As authorities closed in on Cathleen’s killer, tensions escalated, leading to a dramatic and intense confrontation between detective and suspect.

No Justice, No Peace

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 12:00:00 -0000

In March 2017, a 25-year-old man in Dubuque, Iowa placed a frantic phone call to 911. He claimed his girlfriend had just died in front of him - by stabbing herself in the stomach. The next day, he was arrested and charged with her murder. But was her death a suicide or a homicide? The question would divide a community, send shockwaves through the courts, and pit two families against each other.

Unseen Entity

Sun, 19 Jan 2025 23:57:00 -0000

On October 23rd, 2022, 21-year-old Jared Dicus and 21-year-old Anggy Diaz posted a photo on Facebook that surprised their friends and family alike. It was a picture of Jared holding Anggy in his arms as they shared a kiss, celebrating the fact that they had just gotten married. This announcement came as a shock to their friends and family for a couple of reasons: first, no one was invited, and second, they had met less than a year ago. However, setting aside judgment, it appeared that the two truly loved each other, and perhaps this was just another story of love at first sight. Yet, despite how good things seemed, something dark was brewing beneath the surface, only to be revealed after a disturbing 911 call was made just a few months later.

Have Gun–Will Travel

When a wealthy businessman and his live-in friend were discovered dead in an upscale Arkansas neighborhood in 2002, the execution-style murders sent ripples across the country. Shortly after, a woman goes missing from her job in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Secret Project

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 20:22:52 -0000

On the afternoon of March 19th, 2018, residents in Lake Wales, Florida were going about their usual day-to-day business. Adults were just getting off work, kids were returning home from school, and others were finishing up their errands. But, around 3 PM, that all changed when waves of police and paramedics made their way to a neighborhood on the south side of town, surrounding a small field near Caloosa Blvd and Lake Blvd. As public interest grew and residents watched on, they learned that just beyond that field, in a small but dense area of trees, lay the dead body of 15-year-old Giovanni Diaz. As for the suspect, 16-year-old Dillen Murray, he was already in custody, claiming that he had beaten the boy to death in self-defense. It just so happened that the community themselves had far more information than investigators initially realized, helping to piece together the puzzle of how a hang out between friends turned deadly.

***We originally covered this case in an abbreviated “Felony Friday” mini-episode back in 2020. This is a follow-up full length rewrite now that the perpetrator has been sentenced and all investigative reports have been made publicly available.***

"Have you ever seen a dead body?" It was a haunting question that marked the beginning of a gruesome discovery inside the Smylie family home in Brandon, MS, in March of 2024. A beloved high school teacher was found shot dead, and her husband narrowly escaped with his own life.

Witness Execution Program

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 17:34:14 -0000

Shortly after 5 a.m. on Sept. 10, 2012, three masked men wielding guns broke into a suburban home in Ocoee, Florida. The intruders dragged roommates Alex Zaldivar, 19, Brienna Campos, 20, and her brother Remington Campos, 23, from their beds and lay them face down on the living room floor. Minutes later, bullets were fired into each of the heads. The men fled. When the ringing in their ears subsided, Remington and Brienna Campos realized they had miraculously survived, but their friend did not. Alex Zaldivar lay motionless in a widening pool of his own blood. Who were these men and why were they trying to kill everyone inside? It would later be revealed one of the intruders had been in this house, uninvited, once before. He was facing serious prison time and saw only one solution: he had to kill the witnesses.

A special thanks to Rafael Zaldivar, who shared photos, videos and personal stories about his son, as well as retired Orlando Police Detective Michael Moreschi, who investigated the murder and provided an interview and information for this episode.

On Monday, June 24th, 2019, 33-year-old Kaylynn Blue failed to show up for her shift at a Walgreens in Idaho Falls, raising concern among her coworkers. Kaylynn had already missed two days—which was highly unusual for her. Worried, they reached out to her family, who soon involved the authorities. By 9 a.m., police arrived at Kaylynn’s residence to conduct a welfare check. There, they encountered her boyfriend, Philip Schwab, also 33. What they discovered was chilling: Philip was not only responsible for Kaylynn’s death, but had left behind a disturbing trail of online confessions detailing his crimes.

In 2008, he jumped at the chance to join a friend on an illegal train-hopping adventure to Florida. From that moment on, he was hooked.

In a Fog

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 20:25:00 -0000

On December 7th, 2016, 22-year-old Jessica Seger had plans to visit her sister, 25-year-old Amanda Suarez, at her home in Okeechobee, Florida. When Jessica arrived at the home, she noticed something strange: the door was open. And what lay inside proved to be horrific, as her sister's body was set on the floor, posed and covered in blood. Along with the body was Amanda’s hysterical 2-year-old child. Jessica grabbed her nephew and ran up the block to call the police. In the ensuing investigation and interviews with family and friends, investigators compiled a small list of potential suspects. But it was only after the discovery of a single piece of evidence left behind by Amanda herself, that detectives were able to narrow it down to one prime suspect. What followed was a tale of extreme depravity of the worst kind…

The Road Trip

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 16:06:00 -0000

On October 25th, 2018, staff at the California Men’s Colony Prison in San Luis Obispo noticed their beloved co-worker 64-year-old Athena Valentiny had not arrived at work. This absence prompted a wellness check, as was their standard procedure. But it was when two security guards tasked with checking up on Athena noticed her car was still parked in front of her home that they began to worry. To make matters worse, they noticed what appeared to be blood on her window shades. With Athena’s well being put into question, Grover Beach Police were dispatched and, to their horror, they found Athena viciously stabbed to death in her bedroom. As for who was responsible, there was a laundry list of potential suspects. But after some digging, investigators narrowed it down to one person, and with this discovery was a story, and a road trip, almost too far-fetched to be real.

Jackson "Trash"

Sun, 09 Jun 2024 16:32:00 -0000

On November 8, 2016, 26-year-old Brittany Southwell was holding her 7-month-old son in her arms, while inside her basement bedroom with her fiancé Tyler, in Jackson, MI. It was like any other Tuesday inside the home located in the 400 block on Jefferson St…until Tyler’s father noticed a suspicious SUV pull into the driveway from his upstairs window. Moments later, a knock came at the door, before several loud bangs turned to screams, and eventually… gunfire. After an intruder had kicked in the front door of the residence and proceeded to open fire, one person would be left barely clinging to life as they bled out on the carpet. Investigators eventually tracked down the suspect, and later recovered two livestream videos - recordings that the shooter uploaded to Facebook himself, capturing the entire horrific incident in real time, for all of his followers to see…

Xichen, a pool technician, never turned up and Michael became frustrated with his absence.

When asked if everything was okay, Xichen responded that his wife, 21-year-old Nhu Quynh Pham, burned his passport.

You Live, You Die

Sun, 12 May 2024 11:00:00 -0000

Anchorage, AK ranks #1 when it comes to areas with the highest rate of Indigenous women who go missing each calendar year in the U.S. Unfortunately 2019 proved to be no different - when Anchorage Police received an SD card from a homeless woman who claimed she found it on the side of the road. When authorities viewed the contents of the card labeled, "Homicide at Midtown Marriott,” they were met with exactly that. Early into an investigation filled with twists and bizarre turns, law enforcement recognized the killer’s accent, heard on the homemade snuff film…but after sitting down with 48-year-old South African native Brian Steven Smith, they quickly realized that they might just have a serial killer on their hands…

During the early morning hours of October 18th, 2015, in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Corey Jones’ SUV broke down, so he pulled over on an offramp. Multiple people came to Corey’s aid, but the process for getting a tow ended up taking hours. While Corey waited, another man was also on the street that morning. When Officer Nouman Raja noticed Corey’s stalled Hyundai Santa Fe, he headed in the direction to investigate further. What happened next involved two strangers, rapidly escalating tensions, and six shots fired over an agonizing 13 seconds. Ultimately there were two renditions of how a chance encounter caused one man to die; however, only one of them was true…

Fairfield, Iowa is home to just over 9,000 residents. It’s a place that feels more like a small town than a city. There’s a sense of community here, which was a main draw for Nohema Graber and her husband Paul when they decided to move to the Midwest and start a family. Nohema was born and raised in Mexico, and after settling down in Fairfield, she decided to make a career change in her fifties- eventually taking a position teaching Spanish at Fairfield High School. In 2020, Mrs. Graber was introduced to Willard Noble Chaiden Miller- a freshman student who’d just transferred from a local private school. But when Mrs. Graber was reported missing after failing to show up to work on November 3, 2021- investigators quickly learned that Willard Miller had a long lasting grudge toward his Spanish teacher, after Mrs. Graber gave him a bad grade…

When Melissa Howard was found dead in her Crestview, FL home on January 6th, 2006, the case left investigators stumped. There was no shortage of possible suspects with motive to kill her. But there was a near total lack of physical evidence. Melissa would wait over a decade for justice, as her case proved impossible to solve until investigators used technology that wouldn’t be developed until long after her murder.

Special Appeal to the Public - Who Is Dr. Gloves?

Sun, 05 Nov 2023 15:59:00 -0000

In the mid-to-late 2010’s an individual operating under the pseudonym “master” allegedly began uploading several disturbing original photographs to various online gore forums on 4-Chan and Death Addict depicting the mutilation of deceased pre-term fetuses and infants. This user also shared several photographs depicting the horrific taunting and physical abuse of several medically compromised and vulnerable children in a contemporary U.S. hospital setting. The original content was so disturbing - that users quickly dubbed the original poster as Dr. Gloves - a reflection of his unusual choice of attire. A hazmat coverall splash suit, elbow length surgical gloves, and a black leather BDSM bondage mask… Can you help solve a nearly decade long mystery?

WARNING: This episode deals with extremely detailed depictions of violence, abuse, and exploitation of children, and includes optional access to an active online investigative website which includes heavily redacted photographs of these criminal offenses. Extreme listener and viewer discretion is advised.

No one ever said that marriage was easy. Long-lasting relationships take work. Even then, sometimes they simply don’t work out. In fact, nearly half of first time marriages end in divorce. And when things like 60/40 child custody splits and hidden assets enter the picture, things can get ugly. When 41-year-old Rebecca Bliefnick was found murdered in her Quincy, IL home in February of 2023, authorities naturally looked toward the estranged husband. But as the investigation ensued, they realized that it’s not often the prime suspect in a murder investigation admits on live television - that he regrets marrying his wife, just a few years before her murder…

Unsung Hero

Mon, 02 Oct 2023 02:09:00 -0000

When Metro Police stopped and searched a suspicious man walking the streets of South London on September 25th, 2020 - they eventually brought him in on an intent to distribute charge, after finding marijuana in his bag.

78-year-old Arthur Brown and 66-year-old David McKoy were close friends and beloved members of their community.

Consensual Non-Monogamy

Sun, 03 Sep 2023 15:45:00 -0000

We’re all familiar with the term “open relationship.” Some more than others. While this kind of romance doesn't always work out, it’s very rare that someone winds up dead as a result. Back in 2015, 22-year-old Ryan Zimmerman of Corbin, KY was struggling with his identity. He was looking to discover who he was as a person by connecting with like-minded people on the internet. That’s when he met a man who excitedly welcomed him into polyamorous relationship. The only problem with the arrangement was that Ryan Zimmerman soon went missing…

The Zombie Hunter (Part Two)

Sun, 20 Aug 2023 21:44:00 -0000

(Part 2 of 2) After a cold case of over 20 years was cracked thanks to advancements in forensic genealogy, Phoenix police were certain that the Arizona Canal Killings were finally over. However, after 42-year-old Bryan Patrick Miller was arrested, authorities learned their suspect may have been much more active than they originally thought…From 1992 to 2013, several underage girls and women went missing and were never found. Others turned up brutally murdered. The locations of these violent acts were Phoenix and Tempe, AZ and Machias, WA. As it turns out, Bryan Patrick Miller happened to be living in the areas where nearly all of these unsolved crimes took place - giving law enforcement reason to believe that they may very well have a serial killer on their hands…

The Zombie Hunter (Part One)

Mon, 07 Aug 2023 02:58:00 -0000

(Part 1 of 2) The 1990’s was arguably one of the best decades ever. Creepy Crawlers and Barbie’s Golden Dream Motorhomes were under every Christmas tree while “Right Said Fred” was letting the world know that he was far too sexy for his shirt. While these were some of the best years for many of us, for residents of Phoenix, AZ - it was all nightmares and dreamscapes. When two women were found brutally murdered a year apart from one another, the similarities between the crime scenes were too profound to ignore. 22-year-old Angela Brosso and 17 year-old Melanie Bernas were both riding along the Arizona Canal on their bicycles in 1992 and 1993. The residents of this city were sure things couldn’t get any worse, until a 23 year old cold case wound up producing several more victims, all at the hands of one man who called himself, “The Zombie Hunter.”

Carol and Reggie Sumner were high school sweethearts back in the 1960’s. Nearly two decades later, the universe would lead them back into each other's arms in a tale that can only be explained as true romance. The couple, now in their 60's, was gearing up for retirement- fully prepared to spend the rest of their lives together down in sunny Florida.

Lone Survivor (Part One)

Sun, 25 Jun 2023 16:02:00 -0000

(Part 1 of 2) The thought of marriage can be overwhelming…Even if you’re sure you’ve met the man or woman of your dreams, it’s a commitment that should never be taken lightly. You’ve got to be careful when choosing a forever partner…because a lot of people aren’t exactly who they say they are. 27-year-old Nicholas Firkus seemed like an innocent church goer - right alongside his wife Heidi. But after a black man wearing a hooded sweatshirt broke into their St. Paul, MN home, authorities eventually began looking at the husband as a suspect, after a home invasion turned deadly.

#Karen

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 17:18:00 -0000

18-year-old Zachary Latham of Vineland, NJ was every neighbor's worst nightmare. His favorite pastimes included racing fast cars down Thornhill Road, revving his engine, and terrorizing one family in particular - The Durhams. After recording their countless confrontations, Zachary Latham soon began uploading the videos to TikTok. Using the hashtag #Karen, his content soon went viral and Zachary Latham started gaining more followers. But when the lines become blurred between online personas and real life altercations, someone is bound to get hurt eventually…or even worse. In a case that would soon become controversial headline news across the nation, the very same devices used to upload video content to social media would inevitably capture a neighborhood dispute gone terribly wrong.

Sling Blade

Sun, 28 May 2023 16:21:00 -0000

In May of 2019 a Pensacola, FL man’s badly decomposed body was discovered bound with duct tape and tightly wrapped in a tarp at the end of a desolate road next to an old mining sediment pond. The only potential clue left behind was a piece of scrap sheetrock, a bathroom tile, and a small length of orange nylon rope. All signs would inevitably point back to the man’s next-door neighbor. But would this quiet, good ‘ole Southern boy actually talk? And might there be more victims at the end of his twisted tale of lies?

Problem Child

On August 8, 2007, EMS arrived at a residential property in Esto, FL to render life saving aid to an unresponsive 7-year-old girl who had been found floating face down in a backyard pool. The child’s mother, Amanda Lewis, showed every sign of a parent in distress as her daughter was airlifted to the hospital. 7-year-old Adrianna Hutto tragically died and almost became another statistic in a long list of annual accidental drownings…that is, until a key witness came forward saying her death was no accident at all…

House of Secrets (Part Two)

(Part 2 of 2) In March of 2010, Farmers Insurance Agent and independent branch owner/operator Randy Stone was found shot to death in his Independence, MO office suite by his wife Teresa. The former U.S. Marine and Gulf War Veteran was prepared for anything by his very nature - so his untimely death caught close friends and family off guard. The only clue homicide detectives had to go off of was a torn up note in an office trash can near Randy’s body. A letter from his wife’s supposed secret admirer. The author of which, likely pulled the trigger.

Pecan Point

Sun, 02 Apr 2023 17:10:00 -0000

We’ve all met a liar or two in our day. Someone who just can’t seem to tell the truth. 27-year-old Taylor Rene Parker of New Boston, Texas was one of those people. One person who believed what Taylor was saying, however, was her boyfriend Wade Griffin. After Taylor became pregnant with his child, Wade was looking forward to becoming a father…but as Taylor’s due date came and went, Taylor was running out of options. She was going to do whatever it took to become a mother even if it killed her, or even worse…someone else.

I Was Almost a School Shooter

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 15:52:00 -0000

In 1996, 17-year-old Aaron Stark of Denver, CO had made up his mind. He was going to become a school shooter. Before the days of Columbine, there weren’t metal detectors at every entrance or armed community services officers standing guard in American schools. In fact, it was relatively easy for a kid to bring a gun to school. Aaron had it all planned out. He knew exactly how he was going to get the weapon and in his mind, there was no turning back. But ultimately that is exactly what he did. We had a chance to speak with Aaron…and not from his prison cell, but instead on a Zoom call from the comfort of his own home.

2020 was shaping up to be a promising year for 25-year-old Jonathan Amerault of Keene, New Hampshire. He was working his way up the ranks in a career he loved, as a Biomedical Engineer. He had just purchased his first home and was in the process of remodeling it himself. The only thing missing from John’s life was a partner to share it with. Eventually, he did find a potential partner. A woman he saw a potential future with.

Matthew Terry was an all American guy from Michigan. He was a good looking man in his late 40’s, well liked, charming, and even involved in his community. There’s no wonder why Michelle Rogers fell for him when they first met on a dating app. back in 2017…but do you ever really know someone until you live with them? After taking the leap and moving in together, Matt’s true colors began to show…and they weren’t nearly as bright and vibrant as he’d tried to portray.

2nd Chances

Sun, 05 Feb 2023 18:33:00 -0000

Some of the darkest corners of America are places most of us are fortunate enough to stay away from. But that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Far too many individuals are born into colliding worlds of addiction, sex trafficking, and violence. A lot of those people will never have a chance at a better life. Many won’t even make it out alive. Others however… do get that rare opportunity to try again. Britnee Blair, who now identifies as Samantha Haynes, is one of those lucky few…but the story of how she made it out and got to the other side is an ugly one. She spares no details of the horrific things she’s seen and done herself during this one of a kind, eye-opening interview.

Dishonor Among Thieves

Macon, Georgia is a beautiful city that often gets overlooked. It’s a quiet place with a community of friendly and hardworking people. Not too much happens here…but between 2011 & 2012, two of the most heinous crimes this country has ever seen would take place in the area. The first being the highly publicized murder of law student Lauren Giddings, who was killed by her obsessed stalker, Stephen McDaniel. That crime shook the nation…but what happened less than one year later to 58 year-old Gail Spencer was equally, if not more horrific…

Choices

Sun, 30 Oct 2022 15:38:00 -0000

We’re faced with choices every day. Most are trivial and underwhelming to the point we don’t realize they’re even choices at all. Getting gas, whether or not to order take out, or the ever infamous quandary: “should I go to the gym?” There does, however, come those times when we’re forced to make more profound decisions…the type that could very well alter the trajectory of our future. We sat down for an interview with artist, public speaker, educator, and activist Blackliq. While he has achieved much in the entertainment space, his music was not the main topic of discussion. Instead, he told us exclusively and for the 1st time publicly, about the day a homicide detective showed up at his work back in 2004, informing him that his father was being charged with 1st degree murder.

The 12th Failure

Sun, 16 Oct 2022 15:52:13 -0000

Lyndon McLeod was your typical controversial online troll. He was loud, provocative, and identified as a quote, “Shiva-the-destroyer archetype who likes to watch shit burn.” He also happened to be an author. His 4,485 page self-published 3-part work entitled “Sanction” began to gain some traction online with the help of his dark and outlandish marketing tactics… but one supporter of the writer’s Patreon eventually realized the book wasn't a fictional tale. When warnings fell on deaf ears… when no one listened to threats that inevitably turned out to be true - the city of Denver, CO would be met with a brand of devastation well beyond anyone’s worst nightmares.

Nikki With An “i”

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 16:07:00 -0000

Nikki Kuhnhausen was born “Nicholas.” From a very young age her mother Lisa knew her son wasn’t like the other boys at school. In 6th grade Nikki had the courage to come out, identifying as female. She embraced the person she truly felt she was, unapologetically. But when Nikki suddenly went missing from the Vancouver, WA area one day…it would be some time before anyone learned what had actually happened to the at-risk 17 year old…

The Dirty Truth

Sun, 18 Sep 2022 17:09:00 -0000

Most of us are at least peripherally familiar with the story of John Meehan, a.k.a the infamous “Dirty John,” the con-artist who terrorized women across the United States. But when the news broke of what happened to John during his final moments, the infamy surrounding his abusive escapades strangely led to several international TV deals, docuseries, and was even the basis for some of the most successful investigative true-crime podcasts ever created. Fortunes were made as a result of his long history of domestic violence and abuse, but the victims of the traumatic events were of the few who never saw a substantial pay day. In this episode we interview Terra Newell - the woman who finally put an end to the despicable “Dirty John.” She provides an eye opening look inside the strangest kind of limelight, discusses ethics and monetization in true crime, and explains what life’s really like after being involved in a homicide that captivated the world.

Suspect Your Elders

Sun, 04 Sep 2022 18:02:00 -0000

“Respect your elders.” It’s something we’ve all heard since we were young. Albert Flick, a 76-year-old US Army veteran from Westbrook, Maine fit the precise mold of the type of individual we’re expected to revere. You’d never know based on appearance alone that this man had an extremely dark & violent past. When a judge gave Mr. Flick another chance at life after years in and out of prison for violent crimes, he started over in a new town where no one knew of his past…but allowing this elderly man to walk free proved to be one of the most costly & deadly mistakes the state of Maine could have ever made.

The Secret Diary

Sun, 21 Aug 2022 13:00:00 -0000

“Why didn’t she just leave?” This is a question usually proposed by the uninformed. Individuals unaware of just how difficult and dangerous it is for victims of domestic violence to get out of their toxic relationship. It’s never that simple and everyone’s situation is different. A young school teacher by the name of Amber Guichelaar was one of these women. She wanted to get out and almost did. A tragedy that was first reported as an accident, would turn out to be much more than that. When detectives found letters Amber had left behind, they would finally reveal the truth of what really happened.

Finding Jordan

Sun, 07 Aug 2022 16:45:00 -0000

In 2017, just days after Thanksgiving, a 25-year-old woman from Keystone Heights, FL mysteriously disappeared. Authorities wasted no time in launching their search efforts, as this wasn’t the average missing person case. Jordan Cooper was severely intellectually challenged and had never been left alone for more than a few hours. She was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt at her house on Payne Road. As law enforcement questioned her family with a suspiciously checkered past, they failed to look toward one individual who had been hiding in plain sight the entire time…

86ed

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 11:00:00 -0000

63-year-old Chef Daniel Brophy was the Oregon Culinary Institute's most eccentric instructor for many years. His hands-on method of foraging wild herbs & incorporating them in his dishes was only one example of what made him so special, in and out of the kitchen. All seemed well in Daniel’s personal life as well, having been married to his wife Nancy for over 20 years. In 2018, Daniel left his home early in the morning to teach his normal Saturday course. Little did he know, heading into work that day meant walking directly into a trap…when he was confronted with a 9mm Glock 17, held by the last person anyone would expect.

On the afternoon of April 27th, 2016, 33-year-old Tricia Todd of Hobe Sound, FL never arrived to pick her young daughter up from her babysitter. Family was notified, who subsequently went to pick up the child. Tricia’s family believed she may have been held up at work or possibly forgotten, but hours continued passing by with no word. The following day, during a visit to Tricia’s home, her family found her car parked across the street in a neighbor’s driveway and inside of her home sat full bags of groceries. The days turned into weeks leaving… many to wonder, where was Tricia Todd?

Suburban Satanist

Sun, 12 Jun 2022 13:00:00 -0000

Clemmons, N.C. is a hardworking, blue collar village that rests in the heart of the bible belt. Religion is very much embedded and weaved throughout the fabric of this community. And when a young man named John Alexander Lawson moved to town with his mother Cynthia, no one thought much of it… until he grew up. In this episode, we explore the home of a self-proclaimed devil that moved next door & walk you through the hellhole that was 2749 Knob Hill Drive…but it wasn’t until little Johnny changed his name to Pazuzu Algarad (after his favorite character in The Exorcist), that folks in the neighborhood would start to go missing…

Soulmate

Sun, 29 May 2022 16:26:08 -0000

Valentine’s Day is the one time of the year when love is supposed to be in the air. But on February 14, 2020 - the holiday for lovers represented quite the opposite for one estranged Georgia couple after 23-year-old Fort Valley State University student Antria Gunn turned up missing after a college party. Police were quick to pin the blame on her ex boyfriend, a known abusive manipulator, as their main suspect - only there was one problem. They didn’t yet have enough evidence to arrest Gunn’s supposed soulmate.

Anarchy in Antioch

Sun, 15 May 2022 13:00:00 -0000

In 2018 a new Waffle House location had just opened up in Antioch- a neighborhood in Nashville. On April 22nd of that year, groups of young adults started to flow into the restaurant as another wave of late night crowds rushed in after last call at the bar. Most were just looking for a bite to eat after a night out…but what started as a fun evening, ultimately ended as one of the most horrific tragedies this city has ever seen.

Heroes Never Die

Sun, 01 May 2022 20:06:15 -0000

On the afternoon of October 24th, 2015, 32-year-old Nick Clavier was driving down Hull Road in Chesterfield, Virginia with his four children. They had planned to go fishing at a nearby pond, before returning home for a family movie night while his wife Melody was out of town. But on the drive, something happened leading Nick’s vehicle to go over an embankment where it eventually crashed into a tree. Though the children were not harmed in the accident, Nick suffered a considerable amount of head trauma. When police arrived on scene, they located a firearm on the driver’s side floorboard, leading law enforcement to question if Nick had potentially shot himself. But years later, the truth would finally be revealed…

Special thank you to Melody Clavier-Weston and Laura French for their contributions to this episode.

Intersections

Sun, 17 Apr 2022 13:00:00 -0000

Liberty University lacrosse player Chad Gurney seemingly had it all: good looks, popularity, and an active love life. But a freak auto accident in 2005 left him with permanent physical and psychological impairments. After moving back to his hometown near Portland, ME - friends recalled something seeming off about Chad, claiming that he was, “never quite the same since the accident.” In May of 2009, the now tattooed man everyone seemed to be warning young girls about finally snapped, committing one of Maine’s most gruesome murders. His actions left everyone wondering if something had fundamentally changed in his brain chemistry after the accident, or if he had simply been a monster hiding in plain sight all along.

Family First

Sun, 03 Apr 2022 13:00:00 -0000

In 2014, the death of a 36 year-old Christina Thompson Harris was suspicious for more than a few reasons. However, law enforcement in the small city of Davison, MI didn’t see it that way, and the case was pushed to the wayside for years. As Christina’s family slowly learned more details surrounding their loved one’s death, the more her sisters were compelled to uncover the truth. Like the old saying goes, If you want something done right you’ve got to do it yourself…even if that means independently building a case and solving a homicide.

In March of 2020, concerned friends and relatives began receiving strange texts from 51-year-old Gretchen Anthony after several days of no contact. She eventually assured her loved ones via text that she was alive, but that she had come down with an acute case of Covid-19. A global pandemic was rapidly ensuing, and Jupiter, FL was next to be locked down…but the fear that was quickly consuming an entire nation, would ultimately become one man’s way of covering up his gruesome & deplorable crimes.

Armageddon

Sun, 06 Mar 2022 14:00:00 -0000

In August of 2015, 40-year-old Vermont mother Jody Herring lost custody of her three children after a tumultuous battle with substance abuse. Born into a horrific family history of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, Herring’s mental health began to show clear signs of deterioration as she promised that an “Armageddon” was nearing. On the morning of August 7th, she did the unthinkable. Herring took a .270 hunting rifle from a former lover and set out with a hit list, which included people she viewed as somehow personally responsible for her own neglectful actions. Jody Herring’s August Armageddon united members of her own family and the Vermont Department of Children and Families in tragedy through one of the state's most horrific spree killings.

Old Friend

Sun, 20 Feb 2022 18:45:53 -0000

19 year-old Justin Back had everything going for him - he was fresh out of high school, just completed a Fire Science program, and was set to ship off to Navy basic training in only 10 days. Justin was friendly with everyone…but did your folks ever tell you to be careful of who you were hanging out with when you were young? Sandy Cates, Justin’s mom, was certainly one of those parents…and for good reason. A mother’s intuition is often right…but a strange feeling she had would turn into desperate fear one cold afternoon in January of 2014, when her son Justin went missing.

Gator The Skater

Sun, 06 Feb 2022 14:00:00 -0000

Professional skateboarding has exploded in popularity over the past few decades, but the best skaters weren’t always seen as the celebrities they are today. During the 1980’s, some of the 1st “skate stars” were born with the help of VHS skate videos, thrusting some of the most talented unknowns into a life of super stardom, fame, and riches. On this week's episode, we examine Mark “Gator” Rogowski, a pro athlete who was once as popular as famed skateboarder Tony Hawk. But when Mark Rogowski’s rags to riches lifestyle got the better of him, his ego became bigger than the sport itself. As his popularity began freefalling in 1991, 22-year-old Jessica Bergsten suddenly went missing after a night with Mark. She was last seen entering his apartment… but when eventually questioned by police, “Gator” told them he just wasn’t sure where she had gone…

Boston, MA has become known as “Title Town” from the city’s extraordinary reign of championship wins by some of New England’s best professional sports teams. What’s rarely seen, however, are the struggles, trials, & tribulations some of our favorite sports personalities may be dealing with behind closed doors. This story is not so much about famous broadcaster and ex- Boston Red Sox second baseman Jerry Remy - as it is his son, Jared. When a local legend just so happens to be your father, you’re able to get away with more than you most, including just about everything except for murder.

Chicago is the 3rd most populated city in the United States. It’s an easy place to get lost...or hide, if you’re a criminal. In 2017, Northwestern Professor & microbiologist Wyndham Lathem was secretly planning a crime from behind his computer keyboard. Dr. Lathem was the last person anyone would have ever suspected of committing murder...until an anonymous phone call was made to the front desk of his luxury apartment building. The mysterious voice on the other end told the receptionist, “There may have been a crime committed in room 1004...You need to check it out.” Once police gained access, they were met with a horrific & bloody scene...but the man whom the Chicago condo belonged to, Wyndham Lathem,...was already long gone.

During the early morning hours on March 29th, 2019, 21-year-old Samantha Josephson, a student at the University of South Carolina, was out with friends in the Five Points district of Columbia. Although her friends were looking to spend a night out on the town, Samantha wanted to call it a night early and ordered an Uber home shortly after 2 a.m. When the car arrived, she notified her boyfriend Greg that she was heading home. She then got into a black Chevy Impala and departed from Five Points district. But Greg, who was able to track Samantha’s phone, noticed that she was heading in the opposite direction of her apartment - and shortly thereafter, was disconnected altogether from the app and unable to see her location. The next day Greg and Samantha’s friends all realized that she had actually never made it home that morning and soon everyone would soon learn the horrific truth - the Uber that Samantha Josephson got into… was no Uber at all.

Stay Strong

Sun, 12 Dec 2021 14:00:00 -0000

Ronald Lee Haskell, a 34-year-old man raised in a devout Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints family, was conditioned and committed to follow his predestined role as “man of the house” upon his eventual marriage. When he took sentiments of the Mormon Church’s ideology too far however, things quickly turned violent. Melannie Kaye Lyon, Ron’s wife - knew she had to get out - yet found herself stuck between the familial roles established by the church and the destructive clutches of her abuser. Most knew her husband Ron as jovial, fun loving, and amicable on the exterior... but behind closed doors, he was everything but. Melannie would finally break free from Ron and file for divorce with the support of her extended family, but not without consequence. Ron Haskell eventually sought vengeance from 6 innocent members of the Stay family in a multi-state rampage that seemingly shocked everyone but those who actually knew him closest.

Friend Request

In 2011 the Capital Gazette daily newspaper out of Annapolis, Maryland published a revealing exposé on the dangers of social media entitled, “Jarrod Wants to Be Your Friend.” The piece recounted one man’s relentless cyber harassment of a former high school acquaintance through Facebook. Though the article was originally intended to warn readers of the false sense of intimacy social media provides people we may not actually know - it quickly snowballed into something much worse. After 7 years of detailed threats of violence and a defamation lawsuit against the Capital Gazette, Jarrod W. Ramos finally took his war of words beyond the computer screen and into the newspaper offices at 888 Bestgate Road on June 28th, 2018 - in one of the state’s most horrific mass killings.

The Storm

Sun, 14 Nov 2021 14:00:00 -0000

We rarely see the critical warning signs of someone suffering from a debilitating mental illness until the symptoms have entirely consumed the individual to the point of noticeable change or decline. 26 year-old Buckey Wolfe of Seattle, WA was one of these people. His escalating reclusion & his growing obsession with the dark corners of the internet compounded his sickness. There were surely warning signs that Buckey Wolfe was becoming unhinged, but when he began falling down the endless rabbit hole of internet conspiracy theories, Buckey believed he was personally under attack. This perceived “targeted individual” sadly would never make it back to reality...and his unraveled manic behavior was broadcast to YouTube for all the world to see. Right up until he decided he was sent by God to save the world, using none other than his weapon of choice - a 3 foot long Samurai sword.

Mean Man

Sun, 19 Sep 2021 05:01:00 -0000

The school bus is usually a mode of transportation we associate with the word “safe.” Most of our memories riding the school bus as youth are attributed to laughs, field-trips, & fun- but for some kids, the school bus doesn’t represent any of those things. For a select unlucky few, the school bus represents something much worse. A darkness that most of us will never be able to fully comprehend. Yet, the children aboard school bus 0-42 in Midland City, AL back in 2013 are among those who certainly do know what it's like to be a target of a random, violent crime. These children know what it's like to have their lives put in extreme danger, unexpectedly, while riding that big yellow machine. The savage act that happened inside the 24,000lb transporter holding 10+ kids would come out of nowhere, by the hands of one crazed neighbor. A person locals only knew only as, “mean man,”...when he stormed the bus just after 3 p.m. with a handwritten list of demands, a fist full of zip ties, and a loaded 9mm handgun...

Dirty Little Secret

Sun, 05 Sep 2021 05:01:00 -0000

On November 18th, 2012, 13-year-old Dylan Redwine traveled to Durango, Colorado for a court ordered visit with his father. After getting off of the plane, Dylan’s father Mark told the young teenager he had to run errands early the next morning. This prompted Dylan to make plans to meet with a friend early in the morning before his dad left the house. When Mark awoke the next morning, Dylan was still asleep on the couch, but when he returned home, his son was nowhere to be found. All calls and texts to his son went unanswered, and his friends stated they hadn’t seen or heard from Dylan. As the hours passed, Mark became increasingly concerned as he lived in a rugged, mountainous area. The days quickly turned into weeks and eventually months, until Dylan’s remains were recovered on a rural mountain road just 8 miles from his father’s home. After his death was ruled a homicide, investigators were made aware that the young teenager had discovered and confronted his father about some compromising information his brother had found on the computer the year prior. But was this allegedly devout father really willing to kill his son over his dirty little secret?

Black Christmas

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 05:01:00 -0000

On Christmas Eve of 2013, Patricia Burns of Lake Luzerne, NY would face the wrath of her crazed ex-husband - a violent offender she had been trying to evade for years. When Clifford Burns, a man with failed aspirations of once becoming a U.S. Marine, decided to go hunting dressed in full camouflage, his targets would not be sitting ducks or deer in the Adirondack Mountains. Instead, his prey would be his own daughters & estranged wife when he came barging through their front door armed with a long serrated blade and a thirst for revenge over what he viewed as unfair child support practices.

700 Days (Part Two)

Sun, 08 Aug 2021 14:28:56 -0000

(Part 2/2) No one lives forever. We’re all familiar with the cliché, “life is short.” But have you ever wondered just exactly how short? Have you ever considered the manner in which you might leave this earth when it’s your time to go? Death by fire, drowning, or being shot & killed are only some of the greatest fears held by many that have contemplated their own mortality. It’s very rare that these worst case scenarios will ever play out in real life...but the frightening truth is, that they sometimes do. In August of 2015, 31 year-old ex-beauty queen Judy Malinowski would be a victim of such unexpected & horrific events...when she was burned alive by her abusive boyfriend at a Speedway gas station in Gahanna, OH. Death is inevitable for all of us...but when drugs, homelessness, & domestic violence are the major components of an individual’s environment...one can only hope they’re able to make it out, before it’s too late…

**Trigger Warning** This case includes graphic depictions of domestic violence and murder. If you or someone you know are experiencing domestic abuse or violence. Get help. Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

Superiority Complex

Sun, 11 Jul 2021 16:10:50 -0000

In July of 2013, 59 year-old Charles Parker and his wife, 51 year-old Gretchen Parker, were found brutally murdered inside their Jonesville, South Carolina home. Police couldn’t seem to make sense of who might want the couple dead... until researching their backgrounds. A lot of us have skeletons in our closets- some darker than others- but the secrets Charles Parker was hiding were beyond anyone’s comprehension. They say the past will always come back to haunt you...but it’s the person, or “persons” who came to meet the Parker’s at their own front door that would leave police speechless... and the small rural Union County community reeling in a storm of deceit, murder, and corruption.

A 7-year-old cheerleader mysteriously vanishes from a Saturday evening youth all-star football game in rural Scottsville, Kentucky. She went to the bathrooms and concession stand with friends, but never returned. After the game is halted and those in attendance form search parties, she is quickly located within just a few hundred yards of the field, after a volunteer searcher stumbles into one of rural Kentucky’s most tragic crime scenes.

The Bridge

Sun, 13 Jun 2021 05:01:00 -0000

On July 30, 2008, 38-year-old unemployed Army veteran Scott J. Johnson sexually assaulted a 24-year-old woman off a remote bike path in the woods of East Kingsford, MI. Along the Menominee River, teetering the Michigan/Wisconsin border, Johnson aggressively forced himself upon his unwilling victim, but the sexual assault committed that afternoon was only the precursor for one man’s murderous reign of terror. Scott Johnson changed the lives of several families in an instant - when he appeared from the wooded forest as if out of nowhere, dressed in full camouflage army fatigues while brandishing a semi-automatic rifle at a group of teenagers swimming by an old, abandoned train bridge.

The Fake Beard Bandit

Wed, 26 May 2021 00:18:26 -0000

On October 20, 2007, just outside of Toronto’s city limits, 26 year old Brett Ryan would rob his first bank. Disguised in hospital bandages, he handed the teller a note that read “Stay calm. I have a gun in the sling,” referencing the fake arm cast he wore, fastened from a strap around his neck. This is the story of a seemingly average college student that had every opportunity to reach true success in life, but was only interested in taking shortcuts in order to get there. Brett Ryan was unwilling to accept a life of mediocrity and was willing to do anything it took to portray a lap of luxury that he never truly earned... but how long can one person keep up with living a lie? Ryan became so obsessed with creating the persona of a successful young professional that he eventually became unable to differentiate reality from his fantasy. They say “the truth will set you free,” but Brett Ryan was a prisoner of his own mind...and the steel trap of secrets he so desperately tried to keep locked away would eventually be exposed, by his own family.

End of Times

Tue, 11 May 2021 06:23:12 -0000

On August 10, 2018 in Fredericton, New Brunswick, a lone gunman decided to take aim at residents down below using a long barrel rifle from his 3rd story apartment window. But he didn’t know that these people were his neighbors, he thought they were demons disguised as human beings sent to take over the world. In this episode we unravel one man’s layered reality of serpents, shapeshifters, and fringe conspiracy theories - examining how a case of untreated mental illness forever changed the Canadian bedside community of Fredericton, NB.

Pass the Axe

Sun, 25 Apr 2021 05:01:00 -0000

New Bedford, MA - or, “The Whaling City,” is a quaint fishing town that is one of the most multicultural & diverse in the United States. With large Portuguese, Black, and several other various ethnic communities occupying the close knit neighborhoods, New Bedford would be the last place anyone would expect to witness a horrifically violent hate crime. Yet in 2006, that’s exactly what its residents would be forced to endure. 18-year-old Jacob Robida walked into a New Bedford gay bar armed with a pistol, knife, and a hatchet- tucked in his belt, under is black hooded sweatshirt. This is the tale of an anger-fueled loner, influenced by ideologies of homophobia, racism, and violent music.

Girl, Gone

Sun, 11 Apr 2021 05:59:30 -0000

On Friday, May 24th, 2019, Jennifer Dulos, a Connecticut mother of five, dropped off her children at school and began her trek into New York for a day full of doctor appointments. Jennifer was seen arriving back at home, and after two hours, departing again for her trip. But after the family’s nanny arrived with the children in New York later that day for their appointments, Jennifer was nowhere to be found. No one had heard from or seen Jennifer Dulos since that early morning drop off. After she was reported missing later that evening, law enforcement located her abandoned vehicle parked just three miles away from her New Canaan, CT home. As the investigation began for the missing mother, police learned that Jennifer and her estranged husband Fotis Dulos, were in a nasty, contentious divorce. A divorce fraught with lies and deception - that ultimately left Jennifer fearful for her own life…

The 7th Seed

Sun, 28 Mar 2021 15:00:00 -0000

The world of Esports (“Electronic Sports”) has become one of the fastest growing communities of our lifetime. Professional video game tournaments clock in over 500 million views from the biggest competitions on streaming platforms such as YouTube and Twitch. But what happens when something goes wrong at one of these events and the whole world is watching, live? No one could have anticipated the horrors that would unfold mid-day, at an unsuspecting video game bar in Jacksonville, Florida. Yet, in a world that demands instant internet gratification, fastest upload speeds, and 4K game play... perhaps we should be careful what we wish for. We often overlook the isolated environment in which gamers subject themselves to. It’s easy to miss very real mental-health warning signs when enthralled and caught up in the realm “virtual reality.” When we fail to recognize these signals, how do the repercussions of one man’s actions affect our safety? When gunshots rang out over the livestream on August 26, 2018 - broadcasting live to hundreds of viewers during a professional Madden tournament, everyone ran for their lives. This is a deep dive into the mind of one desperate gamer, lost in his delusions. David Katz was willing to do anything it took to prove he was the best- even if that meant taking the lives of innocent people to get there.

Another Long Island

Sun, 28 Feb 2021 06:01:00 -0000

On Saturday, February 23rd - 2019, Jassy Correia was out celebrating her upcoming birthday at the popular Venu nightclub in Boston, MA. The following Wednesday, an alert went out that she was now officially considered a “missing person.” Family and friends hadn’t heard from her in days, and whilst Boston Police promptly posted the club’s surveillance video the night Jassy disappeared, they noticed that she was not alone. The question that collectively loomed over the city of Boston as time ran thin- was who was the man appearing on camera with Jassy, when she was last seen alive?

Free Speech or Die

Sun, 14 Feb 2021 10:14:00 -0000

On May 26, 2017, 35-year-old Jeremy Christian boarded a train in Portland, Oregon - heavily intoxicated and armed with his “right to free speech” and a knife. What happened next aboard the TriMet MAX Light Rail would forever alter the course of every single passenger onboard. As investigators eventually pieced together what led up to one of Oregon’s most horrific attacks, they discovered several alarming warning signs in the 24 hours leading up to a tragedy that many speculate - might well have been preventable.

He Said, She Said

Nothing to Lose (Part Two)

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 05:01:00 -0000

(Part 2/2) 18-year-old Corona, CA high school baseball prospect Brandon Willie Martin was signed by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2011 Major League draft. His talent and incredible promise was worth an estimated $860,000 cash signing bonus. But after signing the contract, renting a posh 6,700 square foot mansion, and hosting massive alcohol and drug fueled parties - something changed in Brandon. Over the next four years he would lose everything - including his freedom, after he was released early from an involuntary 72-hour emergency psychiatric hold.

(Part 2/2) On November 17, 2015, Jennifer Rosenbaum called 911 stating her two year old foster child Laila Daniel had choked on a chicken nugget. During the call, she expressed concern that she was performing the Heimlich Maneuver and CPR incorrectly, fearing she might be inadvertently injuring the child. Once the toddler arrived at the ER, her body told a far different story than what Jennifer Rosenbaum had been claiming all along.

Obsession

Sun, 19 Jul 2020 17:17:55 -0000

On September 2, 2015, 35 year old pediatric dentist Dr. Kendra Hatcher was tragically murdered in the parking garage of her luxury apartment building in Dallas, Texas. At first glance, police believed it to be a random act of violence or a robbery gone awry. But Dr. Hatcher was scheduled to leave the very next day on a romantic vacation with her new boyfriend, Dr. Ricardo Paniagua. As the truth slowly began to unravel, the details of a sinister plan fed by the greed, envy, and obsession of a former scorned lover were eventually revealed.

This is America

Sun, 14 Jun 2020 05:01:00 -0000

46-year-old Houston native George Floyd’s tragic death at the hands of four Minneapolis police officers galvanized a worldwide movement to end police brutality against Black men and communities of color. His frantic last moments were captured by a passing 17-year-old high school student, and were subsequently broadcast around the entire world. Former MPD Officer Derek Chauvin delicately balanced his knee upon George Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 horrifying seconds, until his heart stopped beating. Floyd’s murder has confronted every American with a vitally important and timely question: Do Black lives really matter?

A Deal with the Devil

Sun, 24 May 2020 23:56:39 -0000

29-year-old Kelsey Berreth fell in love with a Colorado Rancher through an online Christian dating site. After giving up on her dreams in Washington and moving to rural Teller County, CO to be nearer Patrick Frazee, the two quickly became parents after an unplanned pregnancy. But no matter how much Kelsey longed for love and a future with Patrick - he had other women and refused to commit. On Thanksgiving Day of 2018, Kelsey mysteriously vanished after a trip to a local grocery store… but the story was infinitely more complex than police were prepared for, until the Teller County District Attorney made a proverbial deal with the devil that blew the case wide open.

Atlanta's Missing and Murdered Children

Sun, 26 Apr 2020 16:23:32 -0000

Wayne Williams was convicted of the murders of two young adults in 1982, supposedly bringing an end to the reign of terror of the “Atlanta Monster.” But the cases of at least 27 other missing or murdered African American children were abruptly closed in the aftermath of his conviction, leaving the surviving families with little peace, and no semblance of closure. We spoke with three of the Directors of HBO’s new series, “Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children” - about their experience creating the new groundbreaking series, and what new light they hope to shed on the now 40-year-old cases. Their investigation uncovered shocking details of evidence tampering, perjury, and widespread cover-up at the highest levels of government and law enforcement.

Special thanks to award-winning Directors Sam Pollard, Maro Chermayeff, and Joshua Bennett for participating in this episode.

The Family Friend

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 18:03:13 -0000

48-year old Dana Wilkes mysteriously vanished from Chattanooga, Tennessee the evening of Friday, November 9th - 2012. A concerned family friend who was the last person to see her alive, turned out to have a dark past, and was hiding an even darker secret. A secret that police wouldn’t piece together until Dana’s badly mutilated body turned up two weeks later, in a spot eerily reminiscent of an unsolved 2002 homicide.

Justice for DJ

Sun, 16 Feb 2020 13:00:00 -0000

A suicide is frantically called into 911 from a rural trailer in Flintstone, Georgia in October of 2016. 27-year old Donald “DJ” Fickey, Jr. is dead, the result of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. But as DJ’s immediate family begins piecing together the last moments of his life - they quickly realize his death was no suicide. A Private Investigator soon joins their quest for justice, and his investigation quickly reveals a tangled web of systemic negligence, bias, and a coordinated cover up among the primary witnesses. The key to cracking the case wide open remains untested and locked away in a police evidence room to this day.

A special thank you to DJ's older sister Amanda Shirley and Private Investigator Eric Echols (TFP Company, LLC) for their participation and contributions to this episode.

The Watcher

Sun, 10 Nov 2019 14:00:00 -0000

Domestic violence leaves a dark stain on the childhood of those who bear witness to its cruel and indiscriminate destruction. A New Jersey mother had nearly escaped her abusive past, and was celebrating Christmas with her two young children when all hell broke loose in December of 2016. Were it not for one 12-year old boy’s relentless commitment to his family’s safety - a murderer may well have walked free.

Nothing Like Her Own

Sun, 27 Oct 2019 15:33:00 -0000

A Dallas Police Officer shoots and kills an intruder in her apartment after returning home from a 14-hour shift. In the moments immediately following the interaction - the officer realizes she made a terrible mistake. She accidentally entered the home of a 29-year old Accountant on the floor directly above her apartment, and killed him in cold blood. But things are not quite what they seem, and it appears there may be a deeper vein of prejudice running through the Dallas Police Department than anyone was previously aware.

Justice for Jessica

Sun, 13 Oct 2019 15:36:00 -0000

The nearly unidentifiable remains of an 18-year old woman are found burning behind a middle school in Mayfield, KY in 2000. The lead investigator fumbles the crime scene, ignoring vital clues and eventually focusing exclusively on one primary suspect. A judge ultimately dismissed the case, condemning the police work as problematic from the start. Justice seemed out of reach - until an amateur detective set up a Myspace tribute page and hit the streets herself to track down the real suspect.

Addicted to Love

Sun, 29 Sep 2019 05:01:00 -0000

What would you do for love? Some would lie. Others would fight. Few would steal $200,000 and kill a family of three… but one man did. And he did it all for an internet webcam model that he had never met in real life. A stunning case of internet pornography addiction turns deadly when one man’s lustful desires evolved into misguided delusions of love.

A father reports his adopted daughter missing in the early morning hours of October 7th, 2017 in Richardson, Texas. But the story doesn’t add up.

The Boy in the Cupboard

Sun, 18 Aug 2019 16:50:00 -0000

In what some have called the worst case of child abuse in Los Angeles County history, 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez suffered prolonged torture at the very hands of those entrusted to protect him. Early reports alleged his death was accidental. But the investigation would quickly reveal a much darker, more evil series of events that would ultimately shake the cracked foundation of the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services to its core. A BB gun, a belt, and a small cupboard were just the beginning of Gabriel’s proverbial house of horrors.

The Sledgehammer

Sun, 04 Aug 2019 05:01:00 -0000

February 4th, 2010 left one family’s lives forever mysteriously frozen in time inside of their Fallbrook, CA home.

Four days later their vehicle was found abandoned near the U.S./Mexico border - but the case went cold for nearly four years until their bodies were discovered buried in a shallow grave in the harsh Mojave desertscape near Victorville, CA. Police were ultimately left wondering if Joseph McStay's partner in business eventually turned into a partner in crime.

After experiencing a painful childhood, Timothy Jones, Jr. had always dreamed of creating the perfect family. But sometimes dreams become nightmares. This once loving husband and father of five felt his family slipping away under his oppressively literal interpretation of scripture. Where some men choose love, he chose control.

The Wooden Sword

Sun, 07 Jul 2019 05:00:00 -0000
