DIE After Dark: Do You Know This Voice?
2025/10/29
Before the headlines. Before the recording. There was Amber.
In August 2010, 20-year-old Amber Tuccaro vanished just outside Edmonton, Alberta after accepting a ride from a stranger.
Hours before she disappeared, Amber placed a phone call — to her brother, who was in prison — knowing it would be recorded.
What that recording captured was the sound of her abduction in real time, and the calm, chilling voice of a man who has never been found.
Two years later, the RCMP released one minute of a nearly 17 minute phone call, after destroying key evidence and failing to follow basic investigative procedures.What remains is one of the most haunting unsolved cases in Canadian history — and one of the loudest failures in the fight for justice for missing Indigenous women.
This is “Do You Know This Voice?” — a DIE After Dark original investigation.
🕯 If you recognize this voice or have information, contact:Crime Stoppers Canada — 1-800-222-TIPS
⚠️ If you or someone you know is in crisis:
Canada Suicide Prevention Service — 1-833-456-4566Talk 4 Healing (Indigenous Women’s Support Line) — 1-855-554-HEAL📧

Episode 181: The Rise and Ruin of Dorothy Stratten
2025/10/24
Dorothy Stratten had the looks of an angel, the fame of a goddess, and a particularly bad taste in men. In 1980, the Playboy Playmate of the Year was on the brink of Hollywood stardom when her jealous husband decided if he couldn’t have her—no one could. This is the twisted, tragic rise and fall of a woman chewed up by fame, obsession, and the dark side of the dream factory.
DIE After Dark: Do You Know This Man?
2025/10/14
On May 15, 1993, while Ringo Starr celebrated the CBS premiere of his show Best Wishes inside Hollywood’s Roosevelt Hotel, a young man fell from the roof to his death. No one came forward. No family claimed him. And the media didn’t cover it.Over 30 years later, he remains unidentified — known only as Missing Persons Case UP3736.
In this premiere episode of Die After Dark, we revisit that day to shed new light on a forgotten case. Through eyewitness accounts, archival reporting, and never-before-shared details, we can help identify the man who vanished from memory that spring evening.
If you recognize him or have any information, please contact:
👉 Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner👉 NamUs Case #UP3736 https://www.namus.gov/UnidentifiedPersons/Case#/3736
Someone, somewhere, knows who he was.
Episode 180: The Last Normal Minute: 9/11 Revisited
2025/10/12
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Mr. Peanut waved to tourists, Whoopi Goldberg sold donuts, and Mariah Carey dropped Glitter. Then, the world changed forever. This episode revisits 9/11 through the surreal lens of entertainment — the commercials, concerts, albums, and cultural weirdness that collided with tragedy in real time.
Keep Reaching for the Stars: The Casey Kasem Story (Episode 179)
2025/09/24
He was the voice of a generation — and then another after that. From Detroit to Hollywood, from Shaggy in Scooby-Doo to the warm sign-off of American Top 40, Casey Kasem shaped how America listened to music. But behind the smooth delivery were battles with perfectionism, family turmoil, and a tragic decline that ended in lawsuits and headlines as surreal as any radio outtake. In this episode, we trace the full life, career, death, and fallout of Casey Kasem — the man who told us to keep our feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.

High Notes, Hard Falls: Buckley, Hoon and Staley (Episode 178)
2025/09/17
Three brilliant frontmen lit up the 1990s with voices that could break your heart with songs that still echo today. Jeff Buckley soared with Grace before vanishing into a Memphis river. Blind Melon’s Shannon Hoon danced barefoot through MTV fame, only to spiral into addiction on a tour bus in New Orleans. Alice in Chains’ Layne Staley turned despair into anthems, then faded into reclusion until his lonely death in Seattle. This episode unpacks their meteoric rises, their drug-fueled downfalls, and the enduring legacies they left behind.

Yes, And? The Story of Fred Willard (Episode 177)
2025/09/11
He was the king of clueless confidence, the man who could steal a scene with just a raised eyebrow. Fred Willard built a decades-long career out of playing the guy who had no idea what was going on — and making sure everyone was crying laughing while he did it. From his improv roots and his unforgettable mockumentary turns in Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, and A Mighty Wind to late-career gems on Modern Family and Anchorman, Willard never stopped delivering.
But behind the laughs was a performer who hustled for decades, weathered personal scandals, and kept working until the very end.
This episode dives into the triumphs, stumbles, and lasting brilliance of Fred Willard — a man who proved that being totally clueless could be an art form.

Mamba Mentality: The Life and Death of Kobe Bryant (Episode 176)
2025/09/02
Kobe Bryant wasn’t just a basketball player — he was a prodigy who skipped college, a three-time champ with Shaq, a scandal magnet, a scoring machine, and eventually the face of the Lakers dynasty. Off the court, he became an Oscar winner, investor, and girl-dad icon. But on January 26, 2020, Kobe, his daughter Gianna, and seven others died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas. In this episode of Death in Entertainment, we trace the high-flying, controversial, and tragic life of the Black Mamba.
