104: MURDER: Dana MacKay and Mary Huffman Sep 08, 2025

Show notes

On October 2, 1993, 37-year-old Dana MacKay and 49-year-old Mary Huffman were found murdered inside their Las Vegas home. The couple had been shot at close range, likely just after returning home from grocery shopping. The only thing missing from the house was a manila folder filled with important documents.
The Vegas community was shocked by the double homicide. The couple was well-known around town: Dana was America’s first Elvis impersonator, and Mary had once been crowned Mrs. Nevada. It was hard to believe they’d been murdered in their home, known as Mini Graceland.
But despite the initial attention their case received, it quickly went cold. More than thirty years later, their murders are still unsolved and the question remains: who killed Dana and Mary?
37-year-old Dana MacKay and 49-year-old Mary Huffman were found murdered inside their Las Vegas home, known as Mini Graceland, on October 2, 1993.

The only thing missing was Dana’s manila folder, which contained personal and business records.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Las Vegas Metro Police Homicide Section at 702-828-3521.

103: MISSING: Bryce Laspisa Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

On the night of August 28, 2013, 19-year-old college sophomore Bryce Laspisa left his apartment near Sacramento, California, and began driving south toward his parents’ home in Orange County. But he never made it there.
In the early morning hours of August 30, Bryce’s SUV was found wrecked at the bottom of a ravine near Castaic Lake. His wallet, duffel bag, laptop, and phone were all recovered. But Bryce himself was gone.
Despite massive searches, no trace of him has ever been found. It’s been twelve years since Bryce vanished, and his disappearance remains one of California’s most haunting mysteries.
19-year-old Bryce Laspisa was last heard from at 2:08 a.m. on August 30, 2013, when he told his mother he was too tired to drive and planned to sleep in his car.
At 5:30 a.m., his Toyota Highlander was found at the bottom of a ravine near Castaic Lake. Tracking dogs followed his scent across the dam and toward a nearby truck stop. But no trace of Bryce was ever found.
When he disappeared, Bryce was 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, with red hair and blue eyes. He has a tattoo of a Taurus bull head with a Roman numeral on his left shoulder. He was last seen wearing white cargo shorts, a blue and white checkered shirt, and white and red Nike shoes.

101: MURDER: The Jamison Family Aug 18, 2025

Show notes

On October 8, 2009, Bobby and Sherilyn Jamison, along with their six-year-old daughter Madyson, set out to look at land for sale in the Sans Bois Mountains of Oklahoma. Days later, their truck was found abandoned less than a mile from the property. Inside were their wallets, coats, a phone, $32,000 in cash, and their dog, who was barely alive.
Despite an extensive search, there was no sign of the family for years. Then, in November 2013, hunters discovered the partial skeletal remains of Bobby, Sherilyn, and Madyson just a few miles from where the truck had been found.
It’s been nearly 12 years since then and investigators are still searching for answers…

Despite an extensive search and years of investigation, no trace of the family was found until November 2013, when hunters discovered three skulls and other remains about three miles from the truck’s location. The remains were later confirmed to be the Jamisons, but their cause and manner of death could not be determined.

98: MURDER: Trish Haynes Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

In January 2018, 25-year-old Trish Haynes returned to New Hampshire for a court date. She planned to stay just a few months and then head back to Florida, where her grandparents were waiting for her.
But that return trip never happened.
After moving in with an old classmate and her husband - Ashley and Doug Smith - Trish’s contact with her family dropped off. And by July, she was officially reported missing.
Weeks later, investigators found her jawbone inside a washer that had been dumped in a nearby pond.
To this day, no one has been arrested. And Trish’s family is still waiting for justice.
Trish Haynes was last heard from on May 16, 2018, during a brief phone call with her grandmother. She was staying with Ashley and Doug Smith at their rental property in Grafton, New Hampshire.
In late August, police searched the Smiths’ home. A second search led them to Grant Pond, less than a mile away, where investigators recovered a washer containing Trish’s jawbone. The rest of her remains have never been located.
If you have any information that could help this case, you can call the New Hampshire State Police at 603-223-4381.

97: MISSING: Amy Bradley Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

On March 21, 1998, 23-year-old Amy Bradley boarded a Royal Caribbean cruise with her parents and younger brother. It was supposed to be a fun family vacation. But just three days later, Amy vanished from the ship without a trace.
She was last seen in the early morning hours of March 24 on the balcony of their cabin. Thirty minutes later, she was gone.
The ship was searched. So was the water. But there was no sign of Amy anywhere.
Over the years, multiple sightings have been reported across the Caribbean and beyond, leaving her family to wonder if Amy is still out there somewhere, waiting to be found.

23-year-old Amy Lynn Bradley was last seen by her father around 5:30 a.m. on March 24, 1998, sleeping on the balcony of their cabin aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas. By 6:00 a.m., she was gone.
Three witnesses later reported seeing Amy with Alister Douglas, also known as “Yellow,” just before 6:00 a.m., taking an elevator to the ship’s disco. He was later seen leaving alone.
There were no other sightings of Amy onboard. But over the years, multiple people have reported seeing her in Curaçao, Puerto Rico, Barbados, and even San Francisco. Amy is still missing.
If you have any information concerning the disappearance of Amy, please contact your local FBI office, or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

96: MURDER: Katie Janness Jul 14, 2025

Show notes

On the night of July 27, 2021, 40-year-old Katie Janness left her Midtown Atlanta apartment for a walk with her dog, Bowie. At around 11:30 p.m., she stopped by the restaurant where her partner was working. They spoke briefly, and Katie said she was heading home after finishing the walk.
But less than two hours later, she was found brutally murdered inside Piedmont Park, near the 10th Street entrance. She had been stabbed more than 50 times, mutilated, and left with letters carved into her body. There were no witnesses. No surveillance footage. And no clear motive.
Four years later, Katie’s case is still unsolved. And the question remains: who would do something like this and why?
If you have any information in this case, please call the Atlanta Police Homicide Unit at 404-546-4235 or Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. There is a $10,000 reward available.
