Shocking Confession Tape Exposes Best Friend Turned Killer!? The Case of Sarah Stern Dec 19, 2024

Show notes

Sarah Stern was a 19-year-old college student living in Neptune City, New Jersey, when, in December 2016, she suddenly vanished. Her disappearance sparked immediate concern, where it was unknown whether she took her life, ran away, or was met with foul play. Through speaking with her best friend, Liam McAtasney, investigators thought it might be plausible that she took her life or ran away, considering he was telling them how unhappy Sarah was and that she was planning on fleeing to Canada to get away from her father. However, a few weeks after she disappeared, a friend of Liam’s came forward to the police that he believed Liam may have killed her and staged her disappearance. A sting operation was conducted, and within hours, they retrieved a videotaped confession from Liam, who explained, in detail, how he murdered Sarah with the help of his friend Preston over some money that Sarah had found a few months prior. This confession led to the arrests of both Liam and Preston, and Preston ultimately agreed to a deal where he would testify against Liam in exchange for a lesser sentence. Both men are behind bars, and unfortunately, Sarah’s body has never been recovered from the water where they tossed her body.

He Said She Fell in the Shower, yet Her Body Was Dry!? The Case of Shanti Cooper Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

In April 2018, David Tronnes called 911, yelling and crying that he had just found his wife Shanti dead in their bathtub. He said she must have slipped and fallen while he was out of the house that morning. However, Shanti was dry, as was the tub, and none of David’s story was adding up. Medical examiners were able to very obviously see that Shanti had injuries consistent with strangulation and blunt force trauma–not from falling.

Shot in Broad Daylight on a Park Bench: The Unsolved Case of Carnell Sledge & Kate Brown Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

On June 4, 2019, longtime friends Carnell Sledge and Katherine Brown were out walking at the Rocky River Reservation in Ohio. They had sat down on a bench along the river when they were suddenly shot dead. The shooting was so random and unexplainable that many figure it was a hate crime, as the two could have appeared as a mixed-race couple. The case still remains unsolved to this day.
Tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers of Cuyahoga County at (216) 252-7463 or at www.25crime.com

TikToker April Holt’s Death Almost Went Unsolved… Until Her Mom Got Her Killer To Confess Nov 07, 2024

Show notes

April Lynn Holt was a mother of two, living outside of Nashville, Tennessee, working hard to create a good life for herself and her family. TikTok was a huge passion of hers, and she began making content back in the pandemic and had garnered over 200,000 followers. Her content was mainly surrounding her family, her faith, and lifting other people up. She was really big on manifestations and elevating your life, so her content was a reflection of that. Her content also centered around her husband, Donovan Holt. However, in 2021 the two of them separated. It was an amicable decision, but eventually they decided to give it another go. But in July of 2023, April realized she no longer wanted to be with him. So that month she asked him for a formal divorce. 2 weeks later, her 7 year old son found her with a plastic bag duct taped to her head in their bathroom. Three days later she died. From the beginning, April’s mom Jamie knew there was more to the story, and she was right. She learned that Donovan had gotten into an argument with April, strangled her, and then staged it as a suicide. Through her hard work, April is on the path towards getting justice.
If you’re a victim of domestic violence and need help getting out, call the National Domestic Violence hotline: (800) 799-7233 or text BEGIN to 88788.
