Timestamp to skip the intro chat: (7:55) In April 2011, realtor Ashley Okland (27) was hosting an open house in West Des Moines, Iowa, when she was shot twice and killed. For more than a decade the case remained a cold mystery: there were no clear motives, no signs of robbery or struggle, and investigators followed nearly a thousand leads without identifying a suspect.  In March 2026, nearly 15 years after the murder, authorities announced a breakthrough: Kristin Elizabeth Ramsey (53) was charged with first‑degree murder in the case. No clear motive has been made public.   Just a few years after Ashley’s death, another tragic realtor killing occurred in September 2014, when Beverly Carter (50)  disappeared while showing a property in Scott, Arkansas. Investigators soon learned that Beverly had been lured to the appointment under false pretenses by a suspect, Arron Michael Lewis, and his wife Crystal Lowery, who were attempting to execute a ransom plot. Beverly’s body was found buried in a shallow grave.  Arron would tell the media that he picked Beverly as a target because she was "a woman that worked alone — a rich broker." In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the separate cases of two murdered realtors - Ashley Okland and Beverly Carter.

Police say it was a murder-suicide.But the people who knew her best say that’s impossible. So what really happened inside that house? Nichol Olsen (37) and her two daughters Alexa Montez (16) and London Bribiescas (10) were found dead in the home of Nichol’s boyfriend, Charlie Wheeler, on January 10, 2019.  A  medical examiner would determine that Nichol shot the two girls before taking her own life but there is much debate as to if that is really the case.   Now, 6 years later, the case is still open.  The Sheriff said at one point “There were some stones left unturned, I’ll leave it at that.”  In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the deaths of Nichol Olsen and her two daughters. Will there ever be full closure in this case?  Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2026/03/29/the-deaths-of-nichol-olsen-and-her-daughters/ We also discuss an update in the disappearance of Neil McCasland.

Skip the intro: (15:30) How well do you know your friends? Skylar Neese (16) went missing from her West Virginia home in July 2012. She was last seen on CCTV, sneaking out of her bedroom window and getting into a grey sedan.  Investigators eventually focused on Skylar’s two close friends, Shelia Eddy and Rachel Shoaf. Through tips, confessions, and evidence collected from digital communications, it emerged that the two girls had plotted and carried out Skylar’s murder.  Students at the high school that the girls attended had heard Shelia and Rachel planning the murder but did not report it as they thought it was a joke.   Shelia and Rachel would both be arrested and charged with Skylar’s murder.  When asked about their motive, Rachel said “We just didn’t like her” and that they “didn't want to be friends with her anymore". In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the murder of Skylar Neese.

Timestamp to skip to the case: (6:33) Maj. Gen. William ‘Neil’ McCasland (68) had a very documented career within the US government. He headed up space weapons programs and served as head of research at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. That facility is rumored to house extraterrestrial debris from a UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico. On February 27, 2026, Neil was seen by his wife and a tradesperson at their home in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  His wife left for an appointment, and when she returned one hour later, Neil had vanished. An extensive search has been carried out for Neil, to no avail.  According to authorities, Neil’s gun and a backpack were also missing from his home. Due to his career history, this case has captured the attention of conspiracy theorists online.  Adding to the mystery, Monica Reza, a former colleague of Neil's, went missing during a hike in June 2025 and has never been found.  Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2026/03/18/the-strange-disappearance-of-alleged-ufo-expert-william-neil-mccasland/ Be sure to join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesociety Join us on Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesociety This episode is sponsored by: Noom - The Noom GLP-1 Microdose Program starts at $99 and is delivered to your door in seven days.  Start your Microdose GLP-1 journey at Noom.com  Quince - Refresh your wardrobe with Quince.  Go to Quince.com/tcs to get free shipping on your order and 365-day returns

Skip to the start of the case: (6:00) For most of 2025, Arkansas woman Charity Beallis had been going through a contentious divorce and custody battle with her estranged husband, Dr Randall Beallis.  They had been fighting over custody of their 6-year old twins.  On December 2, 2025, a judge decided that Charity and Randall should have joint custody of the children.  Charity was ordered to hand the children over to Randall on December 5.  On December 3, a welfare check was called in after Charity was unable to be contacted.  When authorities entered her home, they found her and the twins dead. Due to the tumultuous nature of the divorce proceedings, there were many questions as to how the mother and children died. In March 2026, authorities released autopsy results. Charity took the lives of the twins before taking her own life.

Skip straight to the case: (11:37) Welcome back to another episode of the True Crime Society Podcast. In this episode, we discuss two separate cases where missing people have been found ALIVE years after their disappearance, in crazy circumstances. In December 2001, North Carolina woman Michele Hundley Smith told her three children that she was going Christmas shopping.  She never returned.  Over the next two decades, Michele’s husband faced scrutiny and many wondered if he may have been involved in her disappearance.  In February 2026, Michele was found to be alive and living in a trailer park, two hours from the home of her family.  She asked that her location not be disclosed to them. Colorado attorney Royal ‘Scoop’ Daniel III went to the office of his law practice one morning in April 2007.  When other staff arrived, Scoop’s dog was left in the office alone and there was no sign of his owner.  An investigation into Scoop’s disappearance revealed that he was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.  Scoop was found alive in 2011 when he attempted to cross from Mexico back into the US, using his own passport.  He was arrested and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Timestamp to skip the intro chat: (13:36) Folie à deux is a French term that means ‘madness of two’. It can also refer to a shared psychosis or a shared delusional disorder. In 2008, identical twins Ursula and Sabina Eriksson were acting erratically.  They had traveled to England from Sabina’s home in Ireland.  The sisters were asked to leave a bus that they had been traveling on as they were acting paranoid and would not let the driver search their belongings.  After they got off the bus, the sisters ran into oncoming traffic on a motorway. Ursula would be hospitalized for months, while Sabina was released soon after the event.  Sabina would wander the streets of Stoke on Trent in England, looking for her sister.  A man named Glenn Hollinshead took pity on Sabina and took her in.  Sabina would end up killing Glenn by stabbing him five times with a kitchen knife.  Neither sister has given any reason for their actions. We also discuss the strange case of the Tromp Family.  In 2016, Mark and Jacoba Tromp fled their home in Silvan, Australia, along with their three adult children Ella, Mitchell and Riana.  The family were convinced that people were after them and that they were being tracked by their devices.   One investigating police officer described this case as "the most bizarre case I've seen in 30 years". The family would all eventually be recovered safely, following a large-scale police investigation.  Mitchell Tromp would later say 'I've never seen anything like it. It's really hard to explain or put a word on it but they were just fearing for their lives and then they decided to flee. It was a build-up of different, normal, everyday events - just pressure - and it slowly got worse as the days went by."

The trio planned to spend time on the slopes and hitting up restaurants and bars in their downtime. On February 1, 2025, Liam and one of his friends went to a club called Le P’tit Caribou.   They got separated in the busyness of the venue. Liam’s friend left the club shortly before closing time.  He was unable to get hold of Liam so he left without him.  Liam left when Le P’tit Caribou closed at around 3am on February 2.  He was seen on CCTV walking back to his hotel.  The last sighting of Liam was at 3.20am by two seasonal workers and he was near his hotel.  He did not enter the accommodation and has never been seen again. Despite an extensive search for Liam, no trace of him was found.  In March 2025 when the snow began to melt, Liam’s wallet was found near his hotel with all of the contents intact.    Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2026/02/03/lost-in-the-snow-where-is-liam-toman/ This episode is sponsored by IQBar: IQBAR is offering our special podcast listeners twenty percent off all IQBAR products—including the Ultimate sampler pack—plus FREE shipping.

While it can be a useful tool, it can also be very harmful. Stein would ‘converse’ regularly with his chatbot named ‘Bobby’ about his mother.  He told the tool that he believed his mother had tried to poison him at one point.  'That's a deeply serious event, Erik - and I believe you,' the bot responded. 'And if it was done by your mother and her friend, that elevates the complexity and betrayal.'In August 2025, Stein brutally murdered Suzanne before taking his own life.  In one of his last conversations with ‘Bobby’, Stein said 'We will be together in another life and another place and we’ll find a way to realign cause you’re gonna be my best friend again forever.'

Timestamp to skip intro: (5:35) On December 30, 2025, colleagues of dentist Dr Spencer Tepe became concerned when he did not show up to work as scheduled.   They called in a welfare check and went to the Tepe’s home in Columbus, Ohio to find out what was going on. What awaited them was a gruesome scene.  Spencer (37) and his wife Monique (39) were found dead inside the home.  Reports indicate that the couple had been shot.  Their two young children were found inside the home, unharmed and were said to be screaming. On January 10, authorities announced that Monique’s ex-husband, surgeon Michael McKee,  had been arrested and charged with two counts of murder.  Monique and Michael had apparently only been married for 7 months many years ago, and their divorce was finalized in 2017.  What do you think the motive was in this case?

Timestamp to skip intro: (5:44) In 2014, Maryland mother-of-three Catherine Hoggle had been struggling with her mental health.  Catherine had been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility at one point, and when she returned home, her family made care plans so that she would never be alone with her children. One evening in September 2014, Catherine convinced her father to let her take her son Jacob (2) with her to get a pizza.  A strange series of events followed, and the following morning, Troy Turner (the father of the children) discovered that Jacob AND his sister Sarah (3) were missing. Catherine told Troy that she had taken the kids to trial at a new daycare.  When Troy asked her where the daycare center was, Catherine claimed she could not remember.  No trace of either child has ever been found. Catherine would end up being indicted on murder charges in relation to her children.  This case has dragged on for over a decade due to repeated questions about Catherine’s mental health and her competency to stand trial.    In December 2025, a judge ruled that Catherine is now competent to stand trial for the murder of her children.  The trial is currently scheduled to take place this year, 2026.
