Heather DeWild
2026/02/03
In 2003, the quiet community of Edgewater, Colorado was shaken by the brutal murder of 30-year-old Heather DeWild. What should have been a straightforward search for answers instead became a case buried by silence, missteps, and unanswered questions.
For years, Heather’s family waited—decades, even—as leads went cold and justice felt impossibly out of reach. But this case held a chilling complication that few could have predicted: a shocking twin twist that blurred identities, clouded suspicion, and delayed accountability far longer than anyone could have imagined.

Adam, Sewell, Juliana
2026/01/27
In the digital age, artificial intelligence promised helpers, companions, and tools that could reshape how we live, learn, and connect. But what happens when those tools blur the line between support and harm?
In this episode we confront one of the most urgent controversies in tech: the growing evidence that AI character platforms — including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Character.AI — may pose serious risks to young people’s mental health. As lawsuits mount and regulators scramble to respond, families are stepping forward with heartbreaking stories that no one can ignore.
We explore landmark legal battles — including the Raine v. OpenAI wrongful-death lawsuit filed after a 16-year-old’s suicide allegedly linked to conversations with ChatGPT — and high-profile wrongful death claims against Character.AI, where families allege teen users were drawn into emotionally manipulative interactions that escalated into self-harm and suicide
This episode isn’t just about technology — it’s about the very real human consequences of design decisions made in Silicon Valley and beyond. For the families left behind, justice means change, accountability, and a reckoning with what unchecked AI can cost us all.
Thank you all for another sold out show we can't wait to see everyone Friday night!!

Teresita Basa
2026/01/20
In 1977, a beloved respiratory therapist and passionate musician, 48 year old Teresita Basa, was found murdered in her Chicago apartment. Her case quickly went cold amid fire damage, missing evidence, and a single cryptic clue left behind. With no clear suspect and more questions than answers, investigators were left chasing shadows—until months later, an unexpected tip surfaced that challenged everything police thought they knew about the case.

Andrew Cataldi & Tricia Nordman
2026/01/13
In July of 2000, two young people in Indianapolis, Indiana were killed in a crime that would later be overshadowed by one of the most infamous prison escapes in the state’s history.
Andrew Cataldi and Tricia Nordman were complicated, imperfect, real people. Who made mistakes, but they were also more than the worst chapters of their pasts.
Unfortunately, they were betrayed by the very people they trusted. Causing their murders to become tangled in the rise and fall of Sarah Jo Pender and Richard Hull — a case that would eventually grab national headlines when Sarah escaped from prison and disappeared.
While the world focused on the spectacle of her escape, the story of Andrew and Tricia quietly faded into the background.
This episode brings the focus back where it belongs — on two lives that were cut short, on the gray areas that make people human, and on the truth that a troubled past should never be a death sentence.
Because this story isn’t just about a fugitive.
It's about Andrew and Tricia who were more than their records. two lives that mattered — and a justice system that struggled to protect their memory.

Snowden House Murders
2025/12/30
In this episode, we dive into the haunting story of the Snowden family murders—a case tangled in tragedy, second chances, and whispers of a family curse. Once a well-known Southern family, the Snowdens’ legacy would be shattered by violence not once, but decades apart.
In the 1990s, a mother and her nephew were brutally murdered. The killer was caught, convicted, and eventually released—given another chance at life. But nearly 20 years later, history took a chilling turn when the same man returned…and another member of the Snowden family was killed.
Was this fate, failure of the system, or something darker? We walk through the timelines, the investigations, the parole decision, and the devastating aftermath for a family forced to relive its worst nightmare.
Join us as we ask: How many chances does a killer get—and when does tragedy start to look like a curse?

Whitney Cerek & Laura Van Ryn
2025/12/23
On April 26, 2006, a devastating crash in Indiana claimed the lives of five Taylor University students. Among those involved were Whitney Cerak and Laura Van Ryn, two young women who had only met earlier that day while helping serve their community.
In the confusion that followed, identities were assigned, families were notified, and a funeral was held—while another family waited beside a hospital bed, unaware of the truth. What unfolded next was not the result of malice, but of chaos, trauma, and assumptions made in the darkest moments.
This episode explores one of the most haunting cases of mistaken identity, the unimaginable impact on two families, and how the truth finally came to light—changing everything.

Angela Craig
2025/12/16
In March 2023, Angela Craig was rushed to the hospital in Aurora, Colorado, after suddenly falling gravely ill. What doctors first believed was a medical emergency soon unraveled into something far more sinister. Within days, Angela was dead—and the man at her bedside, her husband of more than a decade, was under intense scrutiny.
James Craig, a respected dentist and father of six, was living a double life. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered disturbing online searches, secret affairs, and allegations of deliberate poisoning carried out over time inside the family home. What initially looked like a tragic loss quickly became a chilling case of betrayal, manipulation, and calculated murder.
In this episode, we break down the timeline leading up to Angela Craig’s death, the red flags missed along the way, and how prosecutors built a case against the person she trusted most. This is the story of a marriage turned deadly—and a reminder that sometimes the greatest danger is the one closest to you.

Betsy Faria Part 2
2025/12/09
In Part 2 of our deep dive into the murder of Betsy Faria, we pick up where the courtroom left Russ behind — branded a killer, sitting in a prison cell, while the truth continued to scream just outside the record.
This chapter is all about what happened after the verdict: the evidence that didn’t make it to the jury, the witnesses who were never heard, and the pieces of the puzzle that refused to stay buried. As new files surface and overlooked details come roaring back into focus, one name starts showing up everywhere.
We trace how Pam Hupp was pulled into the spotlight, how investigators finally started asking the right questions, and how the story of Betsy’s death twisted into something even darker than anyone imagined in that first trial. Insurance policies, timelines, “helpful friends,” bizarre interviews — the truth didn’t come quietly, and neither do we.
Because in this case, justice was not a straight line.
Russ isn’t done fighting.
The system isn’t done denying.
And Pam? …well, Pam is just getting started.

From the Vault: Justice for Mia Campos
2025/11/18
This week, we’re re-releasing one of our Season 1 cases from the vault — the heartbreaking story of Mia Campos. Due to some unexpected technical difficulties (because of course they happen on a Monday), we’re giving this episode a fresh spotlight just as Mia’s long-awaited trial is finally set to begin.
In this episode, we revisit the life of a young woman whose disappearance shook her community and sparked questions that still demand answers. We walk back through the timeline, the investigation, the suspects, and the quiet details that were overlooked the first time around.
As the courtroom prepares to open its doors, Mia’s case is more important than ever. This is a chance to remember what’s at stake — justice, truth, and a voice for Mia.
Tune in, refresh your memory, and get ready for what comes next in the fight for accountability.

The Keddie Cabin Murders
2025/11/11
In April 1981, the small mountain town of Keddie, California, was shattered by a scene straight out of a nightmare. Inside Cabin 28, a mother, her teenage son, and his friend were brutally murdered — while a young daughter vanished without a trace.
What began as a horrific tragedy quickly became one of the most infamous unsolved cases in Northern California history. With lost evidence, mishandled leads, and questionable police work, the truth about what happened in Cabin 28 has remained buried for more than four decades.
This episode dives deep into the victims’ stories, the shocking details of that night, and how investigative failures may have allowed the killers to walk free.
What happens when the people meant to solve a crime become part of the mystery?
This is the Keddie Cabin Murders — a case twisted by time, silence, and bad police work.

Before Ghostface: The Gainesville Murders
2025/10/28
Before Scream terrified audiences, a real-life horror unfolded in the quiet college town of Gainesville, Florida. In 1990, five students were brutally murdered over just four days — their lives stolen by a man the media would dub "The Gainesville Ripper." But behind the headlines and the Hollywood inspiration were real people — Sonja Larson, Christina Powell, Christa Hoyt, Tracy Paules, and Manuel Taboada — young, vibrant students with dreams, laughter, and futures waiting to unfold.
In this episode, we honor their stories — who they were before their names became part of a true crime legend — and look at how their tragic deaths inspired one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time. Because before there was Ghostface, there was Gainesville… and five lives that should never be forgotten.
