Episode 107 - Mollie Tibbetts Jul 18, 2021

Show notes

For some, it may be hard to believe there are still places that exist in the world where people don't give a second thought to leaving their doors unlocked. Small, safe, secure communities where the possibility of crime is the farthest thing from anyone's mind.
20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts lived in such a place - the tight-knit farm community of Brooklyn, Iowa. But on a cool evening in the summer of July 2018, that was all about to change.

Episode 106 - Sydney Loofe Jul 04, 2021

Show notes

In November 2017, 24-year-old Nebraskan Sydney Loofe was ecstatic after a successful first date with a woman she’d met on Tinder and couldn’t wait for a second. Her dream match, however, wasn’t who she was claiming to be and her intentions for their second date were anything but romantic.

Show notes

Backpacking around the world - very few ideas bring to mind such a sense of adventure, independence, and romantic idealism. For one young woman, in November 2018, traveling the world before jumping into a career was a dream come true. But she never could’ve imagined the danger in store for her in what is widely considered one of the safest countries in the entire world.

Episode 104 - Sian O’Callaghan & Becky Godden-Edwards Jun 06, 2021

Show notes

In the very early morning hours of March 19th, 2011, 22 year old Sian O’Callaghan decided to walk back to her apartment after a night out at a club in Swindon, England; a town with a reputation for its safe streets. It’s the reason Sian thought nothing of it to make the short walk back to her apartment by herself that night, totally unaware a predator was lurking in the shadows.

Episode 101 - Joni Lynn Gunter Apr 25, 2021

Show notes

Russell Tillis was described by residents of Bowden Circle East in Jacksonville Florida, as “the neighbor from hell.” Since taking over his parent's already dilapidated home, Russell set to work transforming the property into a ramshackle fortress, guarded with a makeshift privacy fence lined with razor blades and hidden booby-traps throughout his yard.
In February 2016, police arrived at his property with shovels and a hand-drawn map. They were there to unearth the dismembered skeletal remains of a missing young woman.

Episode 98 - Monika Beerle Mar 14, 2021

Show notes

In 1989, 26-year-old Monika Beerle headed to New York City in hopes of fulfilling her dream of becoming a dance instructor. As she searched for affordable housing she met an eccentric pot dealer named Daniel Rakowitz who offered to share his apartment with her. She had no idea that the laid-back hippie who served food to the homeless wasn’t the pushover he appeared to be.
Listen to Episode #98 now to hear the firsthand account from someone who not only knew Daniel but recorded one of their conversations.
