Relisha Rudd

2026/05/15

In the spring of 2014, eight-year-old Relisha Rudd vanished from Washington, D.C. She was a child of color, she was poor, and she was living in a homeless shelter. In this episode, we trace the layers of institutional failure that kept anyone from intervening in time, the nineteen-day gap before an Amber Alert was ever issued, and the harder questions about who this country decides to look for, and who gets left behind.

Adam Walsh

2026/05/08

In the summer of 1981, 6-year-old Adam Walsh walked into a Sears store in Hollywood with his mother and never came home. What began as a frantic search for a missing little boy quickly became one of the most heartbreaking and infamous child abduction cases in America. The tragedy not only devastated a family, but forever changed the way missing children cases are investigated, turning Adam’s father, John Walsh, into one of the country’s most recognizable voices for justice. Decades later, the case still haunts the nation as a chilling reminder of how quickly innocence can disappear.

Elena Sanchez Hawkins

2026/05/01

In this episode, we break down the brutal and unsolved murder of Elena Sanchez Hawkins. What began as a normal morning in Elizabethtown, Kentucky quickly turned into a devastating crime scene. We walk through the timeline, the disturbing details, and the key evidence, including the mysterious truck seen in the driveway and the lack of forced entry. We also explore a possible connection to a later case in Hardinsburg, where a woman survived a horrifyingly similar attack inside her own home.

Michele Hundley Smith

2026/04/24

Michele Hundley Smith’s disappearance initially raised serious concerns, as the devoted mother vanished under circumstances that didn’t quite add up. Investigators quickly noted inconsistencies and began to question whether more was happening behind the scenes than anyone realized. But in a surprising turn, Michele was later found alive, shifting the focus of the case from a potential tragedy to the mystery of why she disappeared in the first place and what really happened during the time she was gone.

The Zodiac Killer Part II

2026/04/17

In Part Two, we wrap up the Zodiac Killer case. In this episode, we explore the suspects who have been investigated over the years, break down the psychology behind serial killers, and discuss what type of offender the Zodiac may have been. We also dive into the many theories surrounding the case and share our thoughts. And most importantly, we take a moment to remember the victims and acknowledge the families who have lived with the weight of this case for decades.

The Zodiac Killer Part I

2026/04/10

In this two-part series, in Part One we break down the chilling beginnings of the Zodiac Killer case. We cover the known crimes, the victims whose lives were taken far too soon, and the letters that turned this case into a national obsession. From cryptic ciphers to taunting messages sent directly to the media, we walk through how one unidentified killer was able to spread fear across California and leave behind one of the most haunting mysteries in true crime history.

Toy Box Killer

2026/04/03

In the New Mexico desert, a man named David Parker Ray hid a nightmare behind closed doors—a place he chillingly called his “toy box.” What happened inside that trailer remains one of the most disturbing mysteries in true crime, with stories so dark they still unsettle investigators today. With the help of Cindy Hendy, Ray is believed to have preyed on countless victims, many of whom may never be identified. It’s a case defined not just by what we know, but by what may never be uncovered.

Golden State Killer Part II

2026/03/20

In this episode, we cover the long awaited capture of the Golden State Killer and the decades long investigation that led to his identification. From the use of genetic genealogy to finally put a name to the crimes, to the ethical questions surrounding that method, we break down how this case was ultimately solved. We also walk through the emotional courtroom moments where victims were given the opportunity to share their statements, despite there being no trial due to a plea deal and COVID. After years of silence, the victims were finally able to be heard—and their stories will always matter.

Golden State Killer Part I

2026/03/13

In this episode, we break down the horrific timeline of the Golden State Killer’s crimes and the victims whose lives were forever changed. From burglaries to brutal assaults and murders across California in the 1970s and 1980s, we walk through how the crimes unfolded, how investigators began connecting the cases, and the growing fear that spread through entire communities. Before the killer had a name, there were victims and their stories deserve to be remembered.

Israel Keyes

2026/03/06

For years, Israel Keyes traveled quietly across the United States, hiding a terrifying secret. He buried “kill kits” in remote locations, chose victims at random, and vanished without leaving patterns for investigators to follow. His carefully controlled double life finally collapsed in 2012 after the abduction and murder of Samantha Koenig —revealing a methodical predator whose full list of victims may never be known.

Bowraville Children Murders

2026/02/20

On September 1990. Sixteen-year-old Colleen Walker-Craig disappears after a party in Bowraville, Australia. Police tell her family she probably "ran away." Three weeks later, her 4-year-old cousin Evelyn vanishes from the same street. Police ask, "What do you want me to do about it?" Four months later, 16-year-old Clinton Speedy-Duroux is gone. Three Aboriginal children. Same street. Five months. One suspect tried and acquitted twice. The families fought for 30 years to change the law. In 2018, the courts said no.

Karen Read

2026/02/13

On a snowy January morning in 2022, Boston police officer John O’Keefe was found dead outside a fellow officer’s home and his girlfriend, Karen Read, was charged with hitting him with her SUV and leaving him to die. Prosecutors say it was a drunken hit-and-run. The defense claims a cover-up inside the house and a rush to frame her. What happened in those early morning hours has divided a community and turned this case into one of the most explosive courtroom battles in Massachusetts.

Leanne Hausberg

2026/02/06

Leanne was 14 years old when she vanished from Brooklyn, New York on March 18, 1999. She was last seen waiting on a street corner and never made it to school. She has never been seen again. Her case was quickly labeled a “runaway,” delaying the investigation for years and leaving her family to search for answers alone. This episode looks at what was missed, what was ignored, and how Leanne’s story reflects the broader crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.

Slender Man Stabbing

2026/01/30

In 2014, a quiet Wisconsin town was rocked by a stabbing so disturbing it seemed unreal—one tied to belief in the fictional online figure known as Slender Man. What began as an internet myth spilled into real life, blurring the line between fantasy and violence. The case unsettled the public not just because of the crime itself, but because of the ages involved and the haunting question it left behind: how could something imaginary inspire something so real?

Lisa Pruett

2026/01/16

In this episode of Crime Connections, we examine the unsolved murder of Lisa Pruett, a 16-year-old girl whose death shattered the quiet, affluent community of Shaker Heights, Ohio. On September 14, 1990, Lisa was found just outside her boyfriend’s family property, less than 100 feet from where he slept. What followed was an investigation plagued by questionable decisions, conflicting timelines, and an early rush to judgment. The case quickly became a national spectacle when another local teenager, Kevin Young, was charged and put on trial in a highly publicized Court TV case, only to be acquitted due to lack of evidence. His life was irreparably damaged, and the real questions surrounding Lisa’s murder were never fully answered. We walk through Lisa’s life, the night she was killed, the investigation that followed, and the troubling possibility that critical leads were ignored. More than three decades later, Lisa’s murder remains officially unsolved.
