Camila was last seen leaving her family’s home early that morning. Surveillance footage shows her near her vehicle, and newly released dash-cam video captures her walking along a nearby roadway shortly before she vanished. Her phone was later found at home, uncharged, and her car was still parked at the residence.
Authorities say Camila may be in imminent danger, prompting an extensive search involving local law enforcement, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security. Investigators are exploring all possibilities, including whether she left voluntarily or was taken against her will.

Camila’s parents have made emotional pleas for her safe return, emphasizing how loved and missed she is. This episode focuses only on verified facts released by authorities and credible reporting. Rumors and online speculation can hinder investigations, and accuracy matters when time is critical.

Melodee Buzzard Found Dead & Mom Ashlee Arrested What We Know Deep Dive Dec 28, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, we break down the full timeline and key evidence in the Melodee Buzzard case, from her disappearance to the arrest of her mother, Ashlee Buzzard, on first-degree murder charges.
Melodee Buzzard was reported missing in October after a school administrator alerted police to her prolonged absence. Investigators soon uncovered a suspicious multi-state road trip involving rental cars, wigs, license plate changes, and misleading statements about Melodee’s whereabouts. Surveillance footage placed Melodee alive for the last time near the Utah–Colorado border, where investigators believe she was killed shortly afterward.
As the investigation unfolded, law enforcement executed multiple search warrants, recovered ballistic evidence, and identified disturbing behavior and statements made by Ashlee in the weeks following Melodee’s disappearance. A key witness later reported being falsely imprisoned, leading to Ashlee’s initial arrest and further scrutiny by investigators.
In December, Melodee’s remains were discovered in a remote area of Utah. DNA testing confirmed her identity, and forensic evidence linked the crime back to the rental vehicle and Ashlee’s residence. Ashlee Buzzard was arrested and formally charged with first-degree murder with special allegations. Prosecutors have announced they will seek life without parole.
This episode also examines Ashlee Buzzard’s background, prior mental health concerns, family court history, and the difficult questions surrounding mental illness, premeditation, and criminal responsibility.
⚠️ Viewer discretion advised: This episode discusses the death of a child.

State Responds To Lori Daybell's Appeal - Final Episode - Prior Bad Acts & Speedy Trial Arguments Dec 24, 2025

Show notes

The State argues the district court correctly allowed evidence related to the murder of Charles Vallow and the attempted killing of Brandon Boudreaux, not to show criminal propensity, but to establish a pattern, plan, knowledge, and financial motive that closely mirrors the crimes involving JJ Vallow, Tylee Ryan, and Tammy Daybell. Prosecutors emphasize the defense had long-standing access to this evidence, defeating claims of unfair surprise or prejudice.
The episode then breaks down Vallow’s speedy trial argument using the Barker v. Wingo balancing test. While the length of delay slightly favors Vallow, the State explains that most of the delay was caused by the defense, including multiple competency proceedings and a change of venue. Vallow also failed to show any actual prejudice to her defense.
Ultimately, the State asks the appellate court to affirm Lori Vallow Daybell’s conviction, arguing that none of the claims raised on appeal warrant reversal. Appeals in Arizona are still expected, meaning the legal process is far from over.

State Responds To Lori Daybe''s Appeal - Part 3: Incompetency and Means Kept Filing Motions Dec 23, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, we continue breaking down the State of Idaho’s response to Lori Vallow Daybell’s appeal, picking up deep into the brief as the State dismantles claims of constitutional violations.
The State argues that Lori Vallow failed all three prongs of the fundamental error test — including claims that her Sixth Amendment right to counsel was violated and that her due process rights were ignored while she was deemed incompetent.
We walk through why the court says Mark Means had the opportunity to respond but chose not to, why this was not a structural error, and why any alleged error would be considered harmless under existing case law.
The episode also dives into the key issue of competency, explaining why hearings held in Chad Daybell’s separate criminal case did not violate Lori Vallow’s rights — including her right not to be prosecuted while incompetent or her right to be physically present.
This section of the appeal gives rare insight into what was happening behind the scenes while much of the case was under seal — and why the State is confident none of these arguments will impact her Idaho conviction.

State's Response To Lori Daybell's Appeal - Part 2: Mark Means Disqualification Dec 20, 2025

Show notes

Part 2 breaking down the state's response to Lori Daybell's appeal motion:

The State of Idaho is asking the Idaho Supreme Court to uphold Lori Vallow Daybell’s murder convictions and life sentence without parole. Prosecutors argue the trial court acted correctly in all respects and that Vallow’s constitutional claims fail.

The State says Vallow’s original attorney was properly disqualified due to a serious conflict of interest after representing both Vallow and Chad Daybell during the alleged conspiracy. Because Vallow was incompetent at the time, prosecutors argue she could not legally waive that conflict, and the court was right to reject any waiver given the severity of the case.

The brief also rejects claims that Vallow’s rights were violated when hearings occurred during her incompetency, defends the admission of prior-acts evidence from Arizona to show motive and conspiracy, and argues trial delays were justified and did not violate speedy trial rights. The State asks the court to affirm the convictions .

Show notes

John Paul Miller, former husband of Mica Miller, was indicted by the feds on 1 count of cyberstalking and 1 count of lying to authorities.
I've never done a backstory, so we dive into a basic timeline and events leading up to her death and after.
