Episode 82: One Buried Alive, One Survived Aug 02, 2020

Show notes

Warning: This case is particularly brutal and may be hard to listen to.
This is the tragic case of two 13 year old boys who were abducted in New South Wales Australia in 1982. What happened to them is nothing short of horrific. One of the boys is able to survive the brutal attack and bring the two men that raped and tortured his friend to justice. However, the controversy does not stop at the crime in this case.

Episode 81: The Brinks | A Dark Secret Revealed Jul 19, 2020

Show notes

The Brinks, a newly married couple were actually making the same plans we are now after their wedding and honeymoon in 1987. They had purchased a foreclosure on 20 acres of land. They had been in the process of renovating their home when both of their lives were tragically taken. But who murdered this perfectly happy couple? Was it the former owner angry that his property had been taken away from him? A jealous ex? Or, after another murder takes place a month after theirs within half a mile from their house, was their sleepy Michigan town dealing with a serial killer?

Episode 79: Christmas 1990 | A Holiday Massacre Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

In today’s episode, we are celebrating Christmas in June as we travel back to the Christmas of 1990 where the extended Tiede family had a beautiful wood cabin in the secluded back country of Summit County Utah. The family usually gathered at this location throughout the summer months but they made a point to always visit the location around Christmas time.
But this year, as the members of the close knit family make their way towards the cabin that is only accessible by snowmobile, they find that two men have been waiting for them to arrive. What the Tiede family thought was going to be their Christmas vacation turned quickly into a fight for survival.

Episode 77: The Cosy Cove Killings May 26, 2020

Show notes

Warning: graphic detail of sexual assault and murder
Stoco Lake lies within the Lake Ontario drainage basin in the municipality of Tweed in Hastings County Ontario. The calm, three and half mile lake has one bay tucked away in its northwest corner. This area is known as the settlement of Cosy Cove. It is a charming section of Tweed that hugs around the lake with it’s dirt roads and beautiful bungalows. The families that call Cosy Cove home are all close. They are there for each other and welcoming to new members of their community. They have block parties and BBQs in the Summer and holiday get togethers in the Winter. It is truly the ideal place to call home. But the peace on the lake was shattered in the Summer of 2009 when the community learned that there was a man breaking into homes and sexually assaulting females. And it seemed like he was only escalating.
