Episode 228 - Jack in the Box - The Mysterious Case of Robert Caraballo Aug 11, 2024

Show notes

Four detectives stood in the rain, wearing their suits and ties. It was late September 2002 in Grand Haven, Michigan, and the gray skies matched their somber mood.
They’d just arrived at a cemetery near the shores of Lake Michigan.
It was time to bury the body of a victim they’d spent the past four months trying to avenge. But so far, it had all been in vain.
The detectives watched as the Minister conducted the service with no family, relatives or friends present. Because absolutely no one knew who the victim was.

Episode 227 - Occam’s Razor - The Murder of Ben Oxley Aug 04, 2024

Show notes

On a chilly February morning in 2008, Ben Oxley slept in a dark and silent bedroom in Minden, Nevada.
When he went to bed that night, he couldn’t have imagined that barely two hours later, a terrifying boom would shatter the peace of his home, and gunsmoke would choke the air.
When authorities arrived, Ben was dead, and there was only one person they knew of for sure who’d been in the bedroom with him when he was gunned down: his wife Melissa covered in Ben’s blood…

Episode 224 - Deadly Catch - The Catfishing and Death of Renae Marsden Jul 14, 2024

Show notes

On a beautiful day in sunny Sydney, Australia, Renae Marsden made her way to Jacob’s Ladder - a lookout in Watsons Bay's oceanside suburb.
It was the 5th of August, 2013, and Renae was just a couple months shy of her 21st birthday.
Climbing up a cliff known as “The Gap”, Renae stared into the crashing waves below.
It had been a devastating day, after her boyfriend, Brayden Spiteri, sent her a text that read, “I think I need a break, and so do you.”
Renae then sent a few texts back, including one to her mother, telling her she loved her and was sorry.
She then threw her phone into the ocean. Minutes later, Renae followed her phone over the cliff's edge.
