Episode 91: Carnage in Clear Lake Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

It was 2003 and the summer before college for two beautiful and popular best friends. They somehow hit the teenage fantasy jackpot and managed to get a house adult free for the whole summer. The two girls spent the weeks after their high school graduation throwing parties and having co-ed sleepovers. However, when one friend arrived for the party they were supposed to be throwing that night early she was confronted with a massacre. Bullet holes and bloody bodies were strewn across the living room, shell casings were everywhere. All of her friends had been murdered.

Episode 90: Skyla Whitaker and Taylor Paschal-Placker | Murdered at Bad Creek Bridge Nov 22, 2020

Show notes

Trigger Warning: This episode contains violence against children
In Weleetka, OK two best friends were enjoying an end of the school year sleepover when they were senselessly murdered less than half a mile away from one of their homes. The crime went unsolved for years. Another tragic murder brought their killer to light. However, there are still many unanswered questions regarding just what happened at Bad Creek Bridge.
DISCLAIMER: I am 110% aware I mispronounced the name of the accused. I completely apologize. The correction is made at the end of the episode. (Thank you in advance for your mercy!)

Episode 89: Matthew Silliman | A Tragic End Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

Trigger Warning: This episode involves conversations about suicide, self-harm, and dating abuse
This episode brings us back to 2008 in Apex North Carolina. It is focused on a group of friends that went to school together, partied together, and have dated each other. If you have ever known a group like this or been a part of one you know that it can be a recipe for disaster, especially when you add teenage hormones and emotions to it all. But this group was a little different than most. Each member was going through an inner struggle of their own, self harm, mental illness, lack of self esteem, or aggression. In the end this combination of complication would lead the the brutal murder of one of the teens, and the road to get there is a very twisted one indeed.

Episode 87: Captive | The Tanya Kach Story Part II Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

Join us as we discuss part two of a case that has completely polarized the town of Mckeesport, PA. In 1996 a 13 year old girl completely fell through the cracks of a broken system. This young girl’s disappearance goes relatively unnoticed until the body of another girl, who was from the same area and was the same age, was found in the town’s cemetery a few years later. In this episode there will be a lot up for debate. What is clear is that an economically depressed town, a complacent school and police department, as well as, for the first time, an uninterested media will come together to make the perfect disappearing act.

Episode 85: DaVeggio and Michaud | The Minivan Murders Sep 13, 2020

Show notes

Warning: This episode contains descriptions of numerous sexual assaults and graphic language listener discretion is advised.
The crimes of James DaVeggio and Michelle Michaud are nothing short of horrific. The depravity of these serial rapists and murders knew no bounds. Join us as we discuss how, in just four months this couple had six victims in their wake. It leads us to wonder...just what would they have been capable of if they hadn’t been caught?
