In 2002, my dad was murdered in the doorway of his home. Now, I am ready to find answers to the coldest case in Belmont County, Ohio. This is the story of a daughter desperate for justice, for closure, for someone to care. It doesn’t get more personal than this.
Between 1971 and 1972, six black girls went missing in the Washington D.C. area. Their bodies were discarded alongside DC freeways. And their killer was never found. The media dubbed him “The Freeway Phantom.”
From iHeartPodcasts and Tenderfoot TV, a new podcast reinvestigates the 50 year old unsolved murders of these young girls. Journalist and Public Radio veteran Celeste Headlee (NPR, PBS, TEDx) examines old case files and interviews the investigators and family members who are still haunted by these killings. Headlee will ask the questions: Why didn’t these murders make the news headlines? Did law enforcement do enough to solve these crimes? And how do racial disparities impact these types of investigations, past and present? Plus, we’ll explore new evidence which may crack the cold case wide open again.
If you have any information relating to these unsolved crimes, contact the Metropolitan Police Department at (202) 727-9099. If you have a tip and would like to reach out directly to Tenderfoot TV, email us at tips@tenderfoot.tv.
En cercanías de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, la policía encuentra los cadáveres de dos primas, desnudas, muertas en la bañera de su domicilio. Los cuerpos presentan un espantoso estado de descomposición de al menos seis semanas, hinchados y sumergidos en una sustancia espesa de fauna cadavérica. El caso se presenta complejo desde un inicio, pero el misterio aumenta cuando la primera testigo asegura haber visto a las fallecidas con vida apenas dos días antes del hallazgo.
In 2017, Deven Grey, a young mother, shot and killed her abusive partner in a remote trailer in rural Shelby County, Alabama. She claimed self-defense and filed a Stand Your Ground claim.
Instead of freedom, she was handed a “blind plea” – an option to take an unknown sentence in exchange for pleading guilty. As a Black woman who shot and killed a white man in Alabama, she did the only thing she could: She took the plea. Deven’s sentence became the final link in a chain of deceit, haunted land, generational trauma, false identity, coercive control, and a broken justice system.
Hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Liz Flock, Blind Plea asks: Who do we believe, and why? And in America, who has the right to self defense and a fair trial?

For decades, Kurt Calabrese lived in the shadow of his father, Frank “The Breeze” Calabrese Sr., one of the Chicago Outfit’s most feared hitmen and loan sharks. Raised in a home ruled by violence, paranoia, and control, Kurt grew up knowing that loyalty wasn’t a choice, it was survival.
In 2007, the Family Secrets Trial exposed 18 unsolved murders and a laundry list of heinous crimes that had terrorized Chicago for decades. Based on wiretap evidence from Kurt’s brother Junior, the case led to life sentences for some of the most powerful mob figures in modern history, effectively dismantling the Chicago Outfit. But the trial was just the public reckoning. The real story began years earlier, inside the Calabrese family itself. Season 3 of the award-winning podcast Underbelly, “Killing Kurt” takes listeners back to where it all began.
Beyond the headlines and the courtroom, this is the story of a crime family at war with itself. As Kurt wrestled with his own loyalty, his older brother committed the ultimate betrayal, setting off a chain of events that would not only take down their father but leave Kurt caught in the crossfire.
Told through his firsthand account, Kurt reveals the untold cost of growing up in the mob, the violence at home, the psychological toll, and the impossible choices made to escape a legacy of fear.
Listen to the all new season of Underbelly: Killing Kurt, premiering April 2nd. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

On July 20, 2020, 18-year-old Grant Solomon tragically died in Gallatin, Tennessee; his body was found in a ditch underneath his own truck. In what was described as a freak accident, the details of Grant’s death remain unclear to many people. The only known witness was Grant’s father, Aaron Solomon*, a former Nashville TV News Anchor turned financial analyst. There was no investigation or accident reconstruction of the automobile fatality and shockingly NO autopsy; though there were many discrepancies between the official statement, the condition of Grant’s body, and the state of Grant’s truck. Join us as we investigate Grant’s odd and tragic death, with the goal of re-opening his case and getting Grant the justice he deserves. There’s more to this story than what meets the eye, and we’re currently uncovering some major red flags in Tennessee.
*Grant’s death has been ruled offically as an accident: Aaron Solomon has never been charged or arrested for any of the allegations made against him by his ex-wife or daughter.
