Episode 71: Taken in the Night | The Polly Klaas Story Mar 08, 2020

Show notes

1 in every 10,000 children reported missing is not found alive. In the cases where the children are murdered 74% of them are females and 74% of them were murdered within the first three hours of the abduction. Everything we just told you is so scary but is an unfortunate reality in our society. However, there are things you can do to protect your children, tell them to travel and hang out in groups, and to be safe, play close to the house, or even go as far as keeping them inside the house. But what if you do all of those things. What if your beautiful 12 year old daughter is with her friends, what if she is sleeping in her bedroom. She should be safe right? What kind of maniac would abduct a girl from her bedroom in the middle of a sleepover with her two friends?

Episode 69: The One That Got Away | A Serial Killer in Allentown Feb 02, 2020

Show notes

Today we have a brutal case for you. We will be covering the case of one of the youngest serial killers America has ever seen. But we are not covering the case from the perspective of this killer, but from the one who got away. The killer’s third victim, that we know of, was able to survive her attack with the help of her neighbors. But that is what made her vulnerable. After she got away the killer escalated and intensified his crimes but his main goal was to take down the only woman that could identify him and he was going to stop at nothing to finish the job the second time around.

A group of teenagers are massacred in a nature reserve in 1973. Five people are attacked, four are murdered and one is raped.

Episode 66: Wisto Home for the Wayward | Dystiny Myers Dec 22, 2019

Show notes

In September of 2010 firefighters were called to the scene of a wildfire. As they were fighting the blaze a man, near dead, comes stumbling out of the forest. As some men tend to his wounds the others soon found that under the fire was the mutilated body of a teenage girl. Although this all seems extraordinary it is nothing compared to the details that led the two to the abandoned field that night.
