167. Dressed to Kill: Hadden Clark May 25, 2022

Show notes

We are headed to Cape Cod where the Montgomery County police just received a phone about a female body on the beach. When they arrive, they found a young woman on her stomach, both her arms reaching into the sand. She was topless and her back was severely sunburned. As they get a closer look, they realize both of her hands have been cut off and part of her face is missing. Police discover she has been out here for several days, with beach-goers simply thought she was sunbathing. The woman had no identification and the media dubbed her the ‘lady in the dunes’. Police try to chase leads but they are coming up empty-handed and the case goes cold. There would be more and the person responsible was someone that no one would recognize…not yet anyway.

166. The Death of Tanner Ward May 18, 2022

Show notes

On a beautiful Midwestern June evening in 2017, nineteen-year-old Tanner Scott Ward told his mom, Lisa, he was headed out to see his friend, Jeremiah, and to fix him a plate for dinner because he’d only be gone about thirty minutes. He kissed his baby girl, Sophia, and left on foot with only the clothes on his back. It was the last time his family would see him alive.
Six month
s later Tanner's body would be found hanging from a tree not far from his home. Tanner's death is ruled a suicide but the Ward family vehemently rejects the ruling. Considering some of the conflicting reports, it’s easy to understand their frustration.
Join Cam and Jen as we discuss The Death of Tanner Ward.

165. The Eyes Have It: Charles Albright May 11, 2022

Show notes

Today we are headed to the outskirts of Dallas to a seedy area known as Oak Cliff, where income is low, and crime is high. It is 1990, and gangs, drugs, and sex workers frequent the area. Crack was big, and people would do almost anything to get it, including selling themselves for enough money to get a hit of crack, and then the cycle would repeat itself. Officer Regina Smith is on duty on December 13, 1990, when a call comes in pertaining to a body. It was a sex worker by the name of Mary Pratt. Her body was found on a street laid out for all the world to see. Obviously, the killer was proud of his work and wanted everyone to see her. Mary was a drug-addicted sex worker with the track marks to prove it, but there was something different about this murder, and it was gruesome.

164. Another Girl Gone: Paula Sims May 04, 2022

Show notes

At 11:24 PM on Saturday, April 29th, 1989, police in Alton, Illinois received a call from Robert Sims who said he had found his wife, Paula, unresponsive on the floor of their home, and their six-week-old baby girl was missing.
Paula Sims said that she had been taking out the trash an hour earlier when she was confronted by a masked man carrying a handgun. After ordering her back into the house, the armed intruder struck her on the back of the head causing her to lose consciousness.
The terrifying incident defied belief because this was the second time someone had broken into the Sims' home and stolen a baby girl. Three years prior, their 8-day-old baby, Lorelai, had been snatched from their home in similar circumstances, only to be found dead.

163. All for the Money: Black Widow Judy Buenoano Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

A woman comes out of the river water screaming for help. Frantic and barely able to get the story out, tells the man that she and her two sons were on a boat, and the boat capsized and her oldest son is missing. As police begin to question Judy about the accident, things become questionable from the start. Judy changes her story. In fact, she tells them 4 different stories. She tells officers that they were enjoying the day in the canoe, when they must have hit a tree stump and then tells another officer a snake hopped into the canoe and they panicked and turned it over. It is clear to investigators, things are not what they seem. What authorities do not yet know, is that many things have happened over the years around Judy and they were never what they seem.

Just after 3 PM on January 13th, 2010 a deputy driving through a gated community in Conyers, Georgia noticed two distraught teenage girls running frantically towards his car.
16-year-old identical twins, Jasmiyah & Tasmiyah Whitehead told the deputy that they had just come home from school and found their mother brutally murdered inside their home.
Upon entering the house, police find signs of a violent struggle. The medical examiner said Nikki's death was a crime of passion; the killer being someone close to her. Little did they know how close.

159. Three's A Crowd: Kahler Family Massacre Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

Husband and father James Kraig Kahler took really good care of his family by being a great provider. His wife Karen was a pillar of the community who was busy raising their three children. From the outside, they seemed to be the perfect family but as we know no one is perfect. It seems Kraig liked things a certain way and by a certain way, I mean his way. He made rules for not only the children but for Karen as well. When things started to change, Kraig was not happy. When it was clear things would not go back to the way Kraig liked them, he decided to make some changes as well. These changes, however, involved murder.

158. An Unholy Death: The Murder of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

On April 5, 1980, Sister Madalyn Marie went to prepare for Easter Sunday which was the following day, entered the sacristy and stumbled across a horrifying scene.
71-year-old Sister Margaret Ann Pahl lay dead on the floor. Father Robinson was the main suspect but there wasn't enough evidence for him to be charged and the case went cold.
Twenty-three years later the case would be reopened after a woman comes forward with allegations of ritualistic abuse within the Toledo diocese. The woman said that she had been sexually and physically abused by members of the church in her youth and that she had witnessed satanic rituals where animals and children were sacrificed.

157. Smotherly Love: Kevin Boyd Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

We are headed north to Lake Orion, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. On August 6, 1994, a man was discovered on his apartment floor. His body is surrounded by blood. The man had fought furiously to escape his killer, as demonstrated by all the injuries on his face and body. His apartment showed no signs of a break-in, but it did look like someone had gone through the apartment. The man was Kevin Boyd, and his body was discovered by his son, Kevin, Jr.
What the 16-year-old would encounter would be the absolute worst scenario. Kevin Sr. is positioned on his stomach on the floor with a pillow over the back of his head. The blood spatter on the wall let him know it was no accident. Kevin Jr. ran from the apartment, desperate to get some help.
