Description

Reverie—a word that evokes dreamy introspection, yet not all daydreams are serene. Sometimes, when our minds wander, they lead us into shadowy corners filled with intrusive thoughts, fears, and questions about the darker aspects of humanity. These unsettling reveries can spiral into haunting curiosity about the crimes, mysteries, and injustices that mark our world. Paige shares stories of unspeakable crimes and their lasting impacts. She also speaks with survivors, victims' loved ones, and fellow storytellers, creating a space where the weight of these stories is honored with empathy and respect. Occasionally, Paige ventures into the realm of haunting, paranormal tales that blur the line between reality and nightmare. Her goal is to illuminate the darkness, bringing attention to injustices, overlooked details, and the human stories woven into each crime. This podcast is not only about telling stories—it's about understanding them, confronting them, and, hopefully, learning from them.

194. Wilma June Nissen: The Woman in the White Go-Go Boots
2025/12/20
For 27 years, she was just Jane Doe, a nameless woman found decomposed in an Iowa ditch in 1978. In 2006, a fingerprint match finally gave her a name: Wilma June Nissen, a 23-year-old mother. Wilma's daughter Krissi spent nearly 30 years believing her mother had abandoned her, only to learn the devastating truth that she'd been murdered just after Krissi's first birthday. Now, Krissi is fighting to solve her mother's cold case, and investigators believe they know who did it. This is the story of a woman who was failed by every system that should have protected her. Someone out there knows what happened that summer night in 1978, and Wilma June Nissen deserves justice.

192. Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom: The Judge, the Drugs, and the Retrials (Part III)
2025/12/06
By January 2007, all five suspects were in custody. Prosecutors had charged them with 46 counts including murder, rape, kidnapping, and robbery. Between 2008-2010, four separate trials resulted in convictions. It seemed like justice had finally been served and the families could breathe. Then a scandal involving the judge, who presided over the trials, would rock their worlds. Because of his demons, the families would have to go through it all over again.

Prosecutors, judges, and jurors struggled to maintain composure. This episode documents what happened during those 36 hours. It is extremely difficult to hear but their families insisted the world know the truth because only by understanding the full horror can we appreciate why justice mattered so much.

189. Maury Troy Travis: The Basement Tapes
2025/11/15
In May of 2002, a St. Louis reporter received a letter with a map marked with an X and a chilling message: "To prove I'm real, here's directions to number seventeen." The map leads police to a body. And one digital mistake exposed a killer's darkest secrets. Between 2000 and 2002, at least twelve women vanished from the streets of St. Louis, their deaths barely noticed by a society that had already dismissed them. What investigators found in a suburban basement would out one of the most disturbing serial killers in American history.

188. Ellen Greenberg (Part II): Did This Bride-to-Be Stab Herself 20 Times?
2025/11/08
In January of 2011, 27-year-old first-grade teacher Ellen Greenberg came home early from work and was found dead hours later on her kitchen floor by her fiance. She had twenty stab wounds covering her body, ten of them to the back of her neck and head, and a ten-inch knife buried deep into her heart. The Medical Examiner called it suicide. Ellen's parents have spent fourteen years and over $800,000 proving that's impossible. Renowned forensic experts find evidence of wounds inflicted after death, a crime scene was cleaned before investigators could properly examine it, and a fiancé who called his attorney uncle before calling 911. Ellen was planning her wedding, loved her students, and didn't like the sight of blood. Can someone really stab themselves ten times in the back of the head? And if Ellen didn't kill herself, why won't Philadelphia call it murder?

Introducing My New Podcast: The Pop Culture Diary
2025/09/20
Hey, hey! Sometimes we all need a little break from super heavy topics, so I started a new podcast and it's all about nostalgia! From 1980-2020, let's hang and talk about all the politics, scandals, drama, magazines, crimes, tech, blogs, toys, gadgets, fashion, and more! Season one of The Pop Culture Diary begins on September 26th. All the links so far to the podcast are here: https://linktr.ee/thepopculturediary Subscribe so you don't miss a single drop of tea! There will be many seasons to make sure we cover all the things we may have forgotten or still love to this day! Season one is a basic overview of 1980-2020 and then in season two, we are taking it even further! I can't wait for you to listen! I might drop a true crime episode here and there on this podcast but honestly, it's taken a toll on me. However, there are true crime headlines that will be on the new podcast, too.

186. Malinda Hoagland: The 12-Year-Old Held Captive in Her Own Home
2025/06/24
When a 911 call came in about a 12-year-old girl who had been in an accident, first responders expected a routine emergency. What they found instead raised questions that no one seemed ready to answer. We're going to follow the events that began on May 4, 2024, and trace how a child’s suffering was hidden. As investigators started putting the puzzle pieces together, a dark truth appeared. This is the story of Malinda Hoagland.

185. Fan Man-yee: Hidden Inside Hello Kitty in Hong Kong
2025/06/17
In the late '90s in Hong Kong, Fan Man-yee was doing everything she could to move forward. She was caring for her young son, battling addiction, and trying to build a better life for her son and herself after a very painful past. But when a man who once paid for her time decided she owed him more, everything she was working to protect started to fall apart. What followed was a living hell that would drag on for a month behind closed doors.

184. Hijacked: Cassie Ventura’s Testimony and the Neuroscience of Survival
2025/06/10
In this episode, we'll be talking about Cassie Ventura and trauma. Cassie is someone the world first met beside one of the most powerful names in music and business. From the outside, everything looked glamorous, even like something to aspire to. But what unfolded behind closed doors was something much darker. As Cassie bravely took the stand years later, now a mother and no longer silent, she revisited the pain she suffered and the years it took to reclaim her voice. We're going to go through her lawsuit from 2023, her testimony in May of 2025, what abuse really does to the brain, and why the question shouldn’t be “Why didn’t she leave?” but “What kept her from feeling like she could?” Connect with Paige: Instagram: instagram.com/reverietruecrime TikTok: tiktok.com/@paige.elmore Facebook: facebook.com/reverietruecrime Twitter/X: twitter.com/reveriecrimepod BlueSky: reverietruecrime.bsky.social  Intro and Outro by Jahred Gomes: https://www.instagram.com/jahredgomes_official Sources: https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/diddy-cassie.pdf https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1251&context=intuition https://www.domesticshelters.org/articles/health/how-trauma-rewires-the-brain https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0091302216300139#s0005 https://abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/sean-diddy-combs-trial-live-updates/?id=121656142 https://www.janiceklaw.com/blog/how-sexual-abuse-affects-the-brain/ https://www.womenagainstabuse.org/education-resources/learn-about-abuse/types-of-domestic-violence https://psychcentral.com/health/effects-of-emotional-abuse#brain-impacts https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/why-bad-looks-good/202107/why-do-domestic-violence-victims-return-to-abusers https://psychcentral.com/blog/liberation/2017/10/long-term-narcissistic-abuse-can-cause-brain-damage#4 https://dana.org/article/the-abused-brain/ https://www.businessinsider.com/sean-diddy-combs-trial-striking-revelations-to-know-2025-5 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/sean-diddy-combs-trial-cassie-ventura-lawyers-live-updates-rcna206807 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/cassie-ventura/index.html https://www.verywellmind.com/the-cycle-of-sexual-abuse-22460 https://people.com/escort-hired-diddy-alleged-freak-offs-speaks-out-message-for-cassie-exclusive-11744158 https://www.charliehealth.com/post/the-long-term-effects-of-narcissistic-abuse https://deadline.com/2025/05/cassie-ventura-sean-diddy-combs-trial-1236395063/ https://cptsdfoundation.org/2020/06/22/the-neuroscience-of-narcissism-and-narcissistic-abuse/ https://www.npr.org/2025/05/13/nx-s1-5396851/diddy-trial-cassie-sean-combs https://www.shorelinerecoverycenter.com/how-domestic-abuse-affects-the-brain/ https://apnews.com/article/diddy-trial-sex-trafficking-cassie-testimony-69c7a6ad766103e39c4f7f35df841205 https://www.verywellmind.com/effects-of-narcissistic-abuse-5208164 https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/sean-diddy-combs-cassie-ventura-trial/ https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/05/13/arts/sean-combs-diddy-trial-cassie https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/may/16/cassie-ventura-sean-diddy-combs-trial https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj42nvrkgzno https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy71k1pee5o https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9931748/ https://www.harborchc.org/blog/domestic-violence-and-the-impacts-on-your-physical-and-mental-health#:~:text=The%20two%20main%20changes%20to,for%20memory%20and%20regulating%20emotions. https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1238225255/domestic-violence-is-now-recognized-as-a-leading-cause-of-traumatic-brain-injury https://biausa.org/public-affairs/media/domestic-violence-as-a-cause-of-tbi https://www.allianceforhope.org/family-justice-center-alliance/news-archive/commentary-domestic-violence-how-trauma-impacts-the-brain-and-behavior https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9931748/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reverie-true-crime--4442888/support.
