Barbara Beach Hamburg // 289 Mar 22, 2023

Show notes

In March of 2010, a 48-year-old woman was found murdered in the backyard of her Connecticut home. With her murder appearing personal, police wondered if someone in her inner circle could have been behind it. But as years passed and justice didn’t come, her son took the investigation into his own hands. This is the murder of Barbara Beach-Hamburg.

Brianna and Caitlin Denison // 287 Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

In January of 2008, a 19-year-old woman went missing from Reno, Nevada. When her body was discovered weeks later in a field, evidence brought police to her killer. But 10 years later, in January of 2018, her 19-year-old cousin boarded a plane to Texas from Nevada, and was never seen by her family again. When home security camera footage captured a woman who resembled her, the mystery deepened. This the murder of Brianna Denison, and the disappearance of Caitlin Denison.

In March of 2020, a Florida woman came down with an acute case of Covid–or so her friends and family thought. When they couldn’t get ahold of her, they filed a missing persons report. Then, a search of her home revealed evidence of bloodstains and bleach, and there was still no sign of her. This is the story of Gretchen Anthony.
