Episode 126 - Disappearing Act Mar 27, 2022

Show notes

40-year-old mother Carole Packman had been living in a toxic household - with a husband who physically abused her, and was openly having an affair with another woman he’d invited to live with them.
Carole had the means, motive, and opportunity to vanish completely and start fresh somewhere else. And for nearly ten years, that’s exactly what everybody thought she’d done.

Episode 125 - Gorgeous Grey-Haired Widower Mar 13, 2022

Show notes

In June 2011, UK author Helen Bailey began writing a blog after the death of her husband as a way to deal with her grief and to provide comfort and a voice to the bereaved.
She openly chronicled her journey following her loss - the ins and outs, the highs and lows, and eventually revealed that things were, indeed, getting better for her - she’d met someone: a man she called “The Gorgeous Grey-Haired Widower.”

Episode 123 - Operation Tangled Web Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

Valentine’s Day 2010 was supposed to be the perfect day for Richard and Stacey Schoeck to re-stoke old fires of desire. Like many couples, work, kids, and other commitments had meant little time for passion. But they were about to change all that.
Their plan was to meet up in a secret, secluded spot, in the pitch-black darkness of the North Georgia countryside. A perfect place to drink some wine, exchange their Valentine’s …and maybe more. Tragically, they’d never get that chance.

Episode 122 - Last Family Vacation Jan 30, 2022

Show notes

Jo Rogers and her two daughters disappeared after taking their first vacation together.. Tragically it would be their last.
Their bodies were later discovered floating in Tampa Bay with all signs horrifically pointing to the probability they’d been thrown overboard alive - bound and weighed down with cinder blocks.
It would be a crime that would go unsolved for three years. That's until a group of determined cold case investigators decided to take another look at the case - a case that would make it to the famous TV show "Unsolved Mysteries", and onto billboards, all in a desperate attempt to track down a man they suspected was a serial killer.

Episode 121 - Part 2/2 - Alive But Still Not Free Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

After Nicole Addimando fatally shot her partner in what she claimed was self-defense, she was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. At her trial the details surrounding her history of abuse were excluded, essentially removing the context for what happened the night of the shooting from the jury.
As much as this case examines the darker side of the judicial system it also highlights human strength and the immense power of friendship, love, and compassion - the unstoppable force behind a group of women who have fought fiercely to bring not only Nikki’s truth to light but the injustice all criminalized survivors of intimate partner violence face.

Episode 120 - Part 1/2 - Alive But Still Not Free Jan 17, 2022

Show notes

To many residents in the town of Poughkeepsie, New York, Nicole Addimando and Christopher Grover appeared to be an ideal couple raising two young children.
So how did Chris wind up dead, and Nikki behind bars?
When the truth behind the shooting was finally revealed, the details would be more shocking, and more devastating, than anyone wanted to believe.
