Ashley Benson | 114 Aug 22, 2024

Show notes

On December 26th, 2014 an employee at the DoubleTree Hotel in Portland walked into the stairwell and found the dead body of a young woman hidden behind the door. She had no ID with her and no one could remember seeing anyone that fit her description. Hours later another employee remembered that someone called 3 times the day before worried about their friend staying in room 715. It's very rare for detectives to identify who the killer is before the victim but that's what happened here and it led to one hell of a hunt ...and a tragic secret

Show notes

On December 13, 2001, a home invasion forced 35-year-old Tracey Roberts to act in self defense in order to protect her 3 kids. After a terrifying attack, she looked at the man she had just killed and realized she knew him, but had no idea why he would want to hurt her or her family. As it turns out, there were a few possibilities of who could have put him up to this, but it took 10 years and a chatty friend to make an arrest.

Sandra Hemme | 112 Aug 08, 2024

Show notes

This one had me riled up. When 31-year-old Patricia Jeschke didn't show up for work one day, her mother went to her house and was met with the most gruesome crime scene cops have ever seen. Patricia was a straight-laced woman who spent most of her spare time at church and didn't have an enemy in the world, so everyone was on edge.

Police turn their attention to one woman who had no ties to the victim -- yet she spent nearly half a century in prison. Why were police so determined to put her away? Well the batsh*t reason was revealed in July 2024 and it's shocking, despicable and not their first time. This is the story of Sandra Hemme, America’s longest wrongfully convicted female prisoner, who was finally released last month.

Elizabeth Shoaf | 111 Aug 01, 2024

Show notes

In 2006, Elizabeth Shoaf got off her school bus in Lugoff, South Carolina and vanished. A huge search ensued. When hours turned to days, confidence in the outcome started diminishing... until a week later when her mom got a chilling text from a number she didn't recognize. When US Marshals traced the phone number, they grew even more concerned and what they learned over the next 2 days is insane. This story will have you on the edge of their seat.

Probably one of the most controversial cases yet! In 2008, 26-year-old Kenzie Houk was a single mom to two young daughters when she started dating Chris Brown.

Barry Titus | 105 Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

In 2018, up & coming criminal defense attorney, Keegan Harroz, got a call from a past client who needed to hire her again. The client's name was Barry Titus and he had several run-ins with the law but this time he was being charged with domestic assault & battery by his ex-girlfriend, Tiffany Eichor. Fast forward a year and there is a horrific triple murder that seems pretty cut & dry, but there's more to it than you think.
