The Murders of Courtney Coco & Shamekka Garnette Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

In 2004, two young women vanished under eerily similar circumstances—Courtney Coco, a 20-year-old college student, and Shamekka Garnette, a 26-year-old mother. Though their disappearances occurred months apart, both were found murdered and abandoned far from where they were last seen.

This episode unpacks the haunting details of each case, the investigative overlaps, and the chilling question that still echoes years later: were these women victims of the same killer—or two separate tragedies in the same region of Texas?
