    220. “The Only Son” - The Case of Debra Fink - Kernersville, North Carolina Oct 16, 2025
    Show notes

    A busted door frame, a stolen gun, and gun shot residue.


    In June of 2023 police were called to the 500 block of Clubb Road in Kernersville, North Carolina for a report of a break-in and shooting.


    When officers arrived, they found 65-year-old Debbie Fink murdered in her own home.


    Her 25-year-old son, Donald Fink, told police someone had broken in and shot his mother, but there was far more to the story.

    217. “Marked with an X” - The Case of Sophie Reeder - Fort Lauderdale, Florida Sep 11, 2025
    Show notes

    An “X” on the calendar, a burning pink candle, and $300 in cash.


    On May 19th, 2017, 15-year-old Sophie Reeder left her home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She was never seen again.


    Initially Fort Lauderdale Police thought Sophie was just another teenage runaway.


    But cell phone records tracked Sophie to the home of 37-year-old Leonard “Jay” Jennings. Jennings and his family denied ever knowing Sophie. But that was a lie.


    Where is Sophie Reeder?


    Sophie was approximately 5’1” and 100 lbs. at the time of her disappearance, with brown curly hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a brown leopard print coat, a black dress, red Converse sneakers, and white headphones.


    The Fort Lauderdale Police Department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for credible information that leads to the recovery of Sophie Reeder.


    Anyone with information about Sophie’s disappearance is asked to call the Fort Lauderdale Police Department at 954-828-6677.
