    Joan Harmon and Christian “Kit” Martin - Part 1 Mar 24, 2025
    Show notes

    In November 2015, three people were brutally murdered in the small town of Pembroke, Kentucky – Pamela and Calvin Phillips, and Ed Dansereau. The police quickly homed in on a suspect, Major Christian “Kit” Martin, who lived across the street. Martin was set to be tried in a court martial hearing in just two weeks, and Calvin Phillips was a key witness. But Kit had recently been through an ugly separation from his wife, Joan Harmon, who threatened to “ruin his life”. Did Kit commit these horrible murders, or did Joan follow through on her threat?

    Dr. Autumn Klein and Robert Ferrante Mar 17, 2025
    Show notes

    Autumn Klein, 41, was a respected neurologist who lived and worked in Pittsburgh with her husband, Robert Ferrante, 64, a well-known research scientist. She collapsed suddenly in her home on April 17, 2013 and died shortly after. As investigators searched for answers, they uncovered her shocking cause of death and a web of secrets that pointed to someone close to her. What seemed like a tragic and unexpected medical emergency soon turned into a chilling case of deception and betrayal. Who killed Autumn?

    Kimberly and Christopher Vaughn - Part 2 Feb 24, 2025
    Show notes

    In the early hours of Thursday, June 14, 2007, just before sunrise, 32-year-old Christopher Vaughn was found limping along a rural road near Channahon, Illinois searching for help after he had sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to his left thigh and left wrist. Vaughn, a devoted husband to his wife, Kimberly, 34, and a loving father to their three children—12-year-old Abigayle, 11-year-old Cassandra, and 8-year-old Blake—flagged down a passerby at 5:18 a.m. and asked him to call 911. Tragically, when the police arrived on the scene, they discovered Kim and the three children were brutally slain inside the family’s red 2004 Ford Expedition SUV, parked on a service road just off Interstate 55. The devastating tragedy raised one important question. Which parent killed their beautiful, young children? Did this loving mother kill her family and then turn the gun on herself or did Chris Vaughn attempt to cover up his own unthinkable crime?

    Joan Robinson Hill and Dr. John Hill - Part 3 of 3 Feb 10, 2025
    Show notes

    Joan Robinson Hill and her husband, Dr. John Hill, were the darlings of Houston’s high society in the 1960s. Joan was a champion equestrian from one of Houston’s wealthiest families, and John was a successful plastic surgeon with a love for classical music. They were young, attractive, and seemed to have it all—a picture-perfect couple moving through a world of horse shows, charity events, and fancy parties.
    But behind the scenes, things weren’t as perfect as they seemed. Joan and John were opposites in many ways, and their differences caused tension from the start. To make matters worse, Joan’s father, Ash Robinson, was a major presence in their lives. He was fiercely protective of Joan and had no problem getting involved in her marriage, which only added more strain. By 1969, the cracks in their relationship couldn’t be ignored any longer. The problems in their marriage came to a head, setting off a chain of events that would stretch over six years and leave a trail of heartbreak, betrayal, and tragedy for everyone involved.
