Tammy Lynn Leppert: The Starlet Who Knew Too Much Jul 07, 2026

Show notes

On July 6, 1983 — 43 years to the day this episode drops — 18-year-old model and aspiring actress Tammy Lynn Leppert accepted a ride from a male acquaintance in Cocoa Beach, Florida, and was never seen again. In the weeks before she vanished, Tammy had become increasingly terrified, telling those close to her she had witnessed something she wasn't supposed to see and feared for her life. She had appeared in minor film roles and moved in circles connecting entertainment and crime. More than four decades later, no one has been charged — and the rumors have never stopped.

Polybius: The Arcade Game That Read Your Mind Jul 05, 2026

Show notes

An arcade cabinet appears in Portland in 1981, tucked between ordinary machines and drawing a strange crowd. Players report migraines, vivid nightmares, and missing time. Then the game disappears, leaving behind only forum posts, half-remembered sightings, and one of the internet’s most persistent gaming legends. Heidi traces the Polybius myth from early message boards to modern retellings, and asks why the idea of a game designed to study — or alter — the people playing it still feels plausible.

Lauren Agee: Who Let Her Fall Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

On a summer night in July 2015, 21-year-old Lauren Agee was camping with friends on a towering rocky bluff above Center Hill Lake at Tennessee's Wakefest boating festival. By morning, she was dead at the base of the cliff ninety feet below. Authorities ruled it an accidental fall. Her family never accepted that answer. Inconsistencies in the autopsy, shifting witness accounts, and a scene that wasn't immediately treated as a crime raised urgent questions. Was Lauren's death a tragic accident — or did someone on that bluff know exactly what happened and walk away?
