Jeannette DePalma // 339 Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

In August of 1972, a 16-year-old girl went missing in New Jersey. Although police initially insisted she had run away, her body was found six weeks later at the top of a cliff near an abandoned quarry. Due to the disturbing and controversial scene in which her body was discovered, her death was ruled a homicide, and some suspect she was actually a ritual sacrifice for demonic activity. This is the story of Jeannette DePalma.

Dana Laskowski // 333 Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

In August of 2001, a 36-year-old mom of three was found murdered in her own home in Washington. No one could understand who would kill her and why, but as police dug deeper into potential suspects, a journey entry with the desire to “kill someone and get away with it” would ultimately crack the case. This is the story of Dana Laskowski.

Show notes

In February of 1995, a 14-year-old girl went missing from her Idaho basement bedroom, leaving behind a trail of blood. Despite police believing she had run away, her body surfaced two months later, proving she had been stabbed in the throat and chest. When reports came in about a man showing up to a party covered in blood on the night of her disappearance, a local was arrested. But did they get the right guy? This is the story of Regina Krieger.
