In 2015, Australians watched a Melbourne personal trainer search for love on national television on ‘The Bachelor’. By the end of the season, he had chosen a single mother from Western Australia, and the pair appeared to have found something that reality television rarely delivers: a lasting relationship. That man was Sam Wood. The woman he chose was Snezana Markoski, now known as Snezana Wood. They went on to marry, raise a family together and build a public profile that extended well beyond reality television. Sam became known as a fitness entrepreneur, while Snezana developed her own public profile as a mother, businesswoman and social media personality. Their family life, their children and their relationship featured regularly in the content they shared with followers. But in October 2026, that public image was thrown into uncertainty when Sam was charged with domestic violence offences following a police investigation in Noosa, Queensland. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the downfall of ‘The Bachelor’ Sam Wood.

Timestamps: (4:18) - Christa Pike Updates (15:00) - Caleb Flynn On February 16, 2026, Ohio pastor and former American Idol contestant Caleb Flynn called 911 and reported that his wife, Ashley, had been shot inside their home. Investigators would later question the account of an intruder, and their case against Caleb would increasingly focus on something far less tangible than fingerprints or a recovered weapon: thousands upon thousands of text messages between Caleb and the woman he was having an affair with. Over the course of their relationship, Caleb Flynn and Alleigha Botner exchanged more than 100,000 messages. Some discussed their future together, some detailed his frustration with his marriage, and others contained deeply disturbing references to Ashley. Then, just hours before Ashley was killed, Caleb sent messages saying, “I choose you,” “I’m about to be free,” and “Actions will come tomorrow.”  There have also been some updates in a case we covered recently - the planned execution of Christa Pike.  Despite being given two doses of lethal drugs, Christa survived the execution attempt and is currently hospitalized.  Please note that this episode was recorded before we knew that Christa was conscious and talking.  We will discuss that update in our next episode.  Read our blogs for these cases: https://truecrimesociety.com/2026/10/04/american-idol-contestant-caleb-flynn-found-guilty-of-the-murder-of-his-wife/ https://truecrimesociety.com/2026/09/20/the-failed-execution-of-christa-pike/ Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesociety Check out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesociety Follow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesociety This episode is sponsored by: Quince - Find the fall pieces you’ll reach for most at Quince.   Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers, or go to Quince.com.  Get free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

Timestamp to skip straight to the case: (7:11) A routine police encounter has opened the door to one of Philadelphia’s most disturbing investigations. Inside a home linked to filmmaker Raymond “R.C.” Horsch, investigators have uncovered more than a million photos and videos, disturbing material involving women, drugs, weapons and chemicals—and evidence that has now connected the property to seven missing women.  With five of those women believed by investigators to appear in footage that may show them dead, authorities are trying to separate fact from fiction in a vast collection created by a man who spent decades making violent, graphic films. What really happened inside the Horsch home, and how many secrets are still buried there?  Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesociety.com/2026/09/27/the-horsch-case-philadelphias-house-of-horrors/ Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesociety Check out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesociety Follow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesociety

Approx Timestamps:(10:20) - Patrick Clancy 60 Minutes Interview(15:00) - Christa Pike On the night of January 12, 1995, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer walked into an isolated area near the University of Tennessee campus. She would never walk out alive. At the centre of the case was an 18-year-old woman named Christa Pike — a teenager whose childhood, relationships and increasingly disturbing behaviour would become crucial to understanding how Colleen's murder happened.  Christa was found guilty of Colleen’s murder and is scheduled for execution on September 30, 2026.   In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the horrific murder of Colleen Slemmer and the scheduled execution of Christa Pike.

Approx Timestamps: (14:15) - Leila Cavett Update (16:30) - Lizzie Borden On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were found brutally murdered inside their home in Fall River, Massachusetts. Andrew, a wealthy businessman, had been hacked to death on the sitting-room sofa, while his wife Abby was discovered upstairs, having suffered multiple blows to the head.  Suspicion quickly fell on Andrew’s 32-year-old daughter, Lizzie Borden, who lived in the house with her father and stepmother. Lizzie’s relationship with Abby was reportedly strained, and there had been increasing family tensions regarding finances and property.   Lizzie was arrested and charged with the murders, with prosecutors presenting a circumstantial case against her. She was famously accused of killing her father and stepmother with an axe, but after a highly publicised trial, the jury deliberated for just over an hour before finding her not guilty on both counts.  More than 130 years later, the Borden murders remain one of America's most enduring unsolved mysteries.

Skip straight to the case: (7:05) *all time stamps are approx due to ads Imagine coming across a two-year-old little boy wandering completely alone outside an apartment complex. He's wearing only a shirt and a diaper. He can't tell anyone where his mother is. Nobody seems to know where he's come from. And then, as police begin trying to identify this little boy, they discover something even more disturbing. His mother, 21-year-old Leila Cavett, is missing. Self-proclaimed ‘witch’ Shannon Ryan has been arrested and charged with Leila’s murder.  Social media messages between Shannon and Leila indicate that Leila may have been working as a witchcraft apprentice.  Court documents currently indicate that the jury trial may begin this month, September 2026.

Approx Timestamps:(4:20) - Mica Miller discussion(13:20) - Kids Who Kill Two very different cases, but both involving families, disturbing allegations and questions about what happened behind closed doors. Out of Arizona, Matthew Flores (27)  is the subject of an international manhunt after police discovered the decomposing bodies of his parents, Hector and Larissa Flores, buried in the backyard of their Litchfield Park home. Investigators say there were signs of a violent crime inside the house, and authorities believe Matthew fled the country before the bodies were discovered. As disturbing details emerge about changes in Matthew’s behavior in the years before the killings, investigators are now working across borders to find him. And in Ohio, 18-year-old Bryanna Dutcher is accused of helping orchestrate the shooting death of her mother, Tamela Dutcher (55). What initially appeared to be a home invasion quickly took a shocking turn when investigators say deleted text messages revealed discussions about killing Bryanna’s parents. Bryanna has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, while her boyfriend Christian Evans and his roommate Dajameous Payne are also charged in Tamela’s death.  Read our blog for these cases - https://truecrimesociety.com/2026/08/30/kids-who-kill-september-2026/ Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesociety Check out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesociety Follow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesociety

Approx timestamp for updates only (will vary due to the dynamic ads, which are different for everyone) - (01:20:00)On April 27, 2024, Mica Miller called 911 and asked the operator if her cell phone location could be traced.  When the operator confirmed that her location was known, Mica hung up and allegedly shot herself in the head. Mica was married to high-profile Pastor John-Paul Miller.  The two were going through a tumultuous breakup.  Mica found four tracking devices on her vehicle.  Her family claim that Mica said at one point ‘If I end up with a bullet in my head, it was not by me, it was JP.’  John-Paul also attempted to enter Mica’s home after her death and he was stopped by the building manager. This episode was first released in May 2024.  We have re-released it with new updates to coincide with the release of the Netflix documentary titled ‘Death of the Pastor’s Wife.’   If you are familiar with the backstory of Mica’s case, use the timestamps to get straight to the developments that have occurred since May 2024, including JPs indictment by a federal grand jury.  With the new Netflix documentary bringing the case back into the spotlight, Mica’s story - and the fight for answers - has once again captured national attention.

Timestamps:(4:00) - Lindsay Clancy Chat, Saratoga Springs Update(19:24) - Heather Turner In the early morning hours of May 4, 2017, Heather Turner was found dead inside her Georgia home from a gunshot wound to the head. Her husband said he heard a gunshot coming from the bathroom. Investigators found a gun, a handwritten note and evidence that initially raised questions about what had happened behind that closed door. In 2026, the sheriff investigating this case announced that they would rule Heather’s death a suicide.  The coroner has since announced that she will hold an inquest into the case next year and will give her final verdict on the case following that process.

Skip to the updates: (50:00) On January 24, 2023, Patrick Clancy left his family's home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, to run a few errands, expecting to return less than an hour later. Instead, he came home to an unimaginable tragedy. The house was eerily silent, and outside he found his wife, Lindsay Clancy, seriously injured. She told him the children were in the basement. Patrick rushed downstairs, where he discovered his three children, 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan, had been strangled with exercise bands. Cora and Dawson died that night, while Callan succumbed to his injuries several days later. Lindsay survived after jumping from a second-story window and was later charged with the murders of her children. Her defense argues that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible. Her trial is now underway, with her husband expected to testify on her behalf.

Skip straight to the case: (13:45) On a quiet 2025 March morning in Saratoga Springs, Utah, a teenage girl walked into a horrific scene.  Her mother, Jessica Lyman (44)  and her brother Eli Painter (8) had been shot and were found in Jessica’s bedroom. As investigators peeled back the layers of the case, unsettling clues emerged—surveillance footage of a masked figure, cryptic handwritten notes, and a trail of unanswered questions that have kept the double murder shrouded in mystery. More than a year later, with no arrests and new evidence still surfacing, the Saratoga Springs double murder remains one of Utah’s most haunting and perplexing unsolved cases. Is the murderer someone known to the family or could this have been a random attack? A note was found in the bedroom of one of Jessica’s surviving children that read ‘This is a murder story.’ In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the Saratoga Springs murders of Jessica Lyman and her son Eli Painter.

Skip straight to the case: (8:20) Tommy Lynn Sells was a drifter whose crimes stretched across multiple U.S. states.  Known as the “Coast-to-Coast Killer,” Sells claimed responsibility for dozens of murders, though he was only convicted in two cases. His transient lifestyle, violent childhood, and habit of targeting vulnerable victims made him one of the most elusive and disturbing killers of his era.  Sells once said ‘I am hatred. When you look at me, you look at hate. I don't know what love is. Two words I don't like to use are 'love' and 'sorry,' because I'm about hate.” His crimes are some of the most heinous that could ever be imagined.   Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2026/06/28/tommy-lynn-sells-and-his-reign-of-terror/ Be sure to check the timestamps to get straight to the episode section that you want to listen to.
