A Texan Hit - Nancy Howard and John "Frank" Howard May 15, 2023

Show notes

We’ve all heard the phrase love is blind. We put on rose-colored glasses and think we have found the perfect person. Sometimes it takes a broken heart before we can see what was in front of us all the time. In this case, it took a slew of Texas Rednecks, a man so crooked you couldn’t tell if he was coming on going, the loss of an eye, and the near loss of a life before things became crystal clear for Nancy Howard.

Under The Bridge - Reena Virk, Murdered by Her Peers, Kelly Ellard and Warren Glowatsky Apr 21, 2023

Show notes

The girl raised herself from the mud. She was in pain having been beaten and bloodied. She staggered out from underneath the dark and dirty bridge. Her only desire was to get to her parents. She never made it home that night. 14-year-old Reena Virk, a shy and introverted girl of Indian descent, was mercilessly beaten and then drowned by a group of her own peers, most of whom were girls. The case made headlines not only for the gruesome nature of the crime, but also for the disturbing issues it brought to light, including bullying, racism, and the dangerous influence of peer pressure.

The Writing Was on the Walls: Chris Coleman and His Family Apr 16, 2023

Show notes

When three officers entered Chris Colemans home after a stressful call from Chris, they were appalled find Chris's wife Sheri Coleman, and their two sons in bed. They weren't sleeping. They weren't alive. Their bodies were stiff and cold. It seemed as though the threatening letters and emails the family had been receiving for months had been acted on. When Chris heard the news, he fell to the ground sobbing. Cyberstalking, televangelism and a bodyguard gone bad take the stage in this episode.

The Pathological Pretender and Pilot - Marcus Schrenker Mar 26, 2023

Show notes

Marcus Schrenker, a financial adviser from Indiana, had it all. He enjoyed a high roller, work hard/play hard lifestyle, a beautiful wife and family and expensive toys galore. He even had his own plane, one that crashes suspiciously, with no body to be found. This is followed by a man hunt and then a media storm reporting on his victims who lost millions. Marcus would be described as a pathological liar, thief and one of the worlds most quickly caught fugitives.

Lost on a Cruise Ship - The Disappearance of Tammy Grogan Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

Tammy Grogan's 2006 dream cruise turned into a nightmare when the single mother never returned. She was given an all inclusive cruise along with her mother, aunt and son. The gift was from a man whom Tammy felt had an inappropriate relationship with her son. She'd even spoken with police about the relationship months earlier. Regardless, she took the cruise and once aboard, they unexpectedly ran into the sister of the man who gave her the free cruise. The group spent a couple days in paradise, laughing and living it up before Tammy mysteriously vanished. This unsolved case dives into whether she fell, jumped or was pushed by either her own family, or the man's sister and her boyfriend.

The Drifter - The Murder of Michele Wallace, Pauline Klumpp, Anita Andrews and Charlotte Sauerwin by Serial Killer Roy Melanson Mar 11, 2023

Show notes

In 1974, Michelle Wallace lost her life in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The first predator, the human that took her life, was bad enough but there were many more that would follow, picking at her carcass and scattering her remains throughout the wilderness. Twenty years later, before her body returned to dust, a young, smart and tenacious investigator and members of a team called Necrosearch worked together to find her. With a lot of skill and some good luck, they found her skull. Roy Melanson would be found guilty of her murder. What they didn't know at the time was that he was a serial killer and that catching him would help authorities solve several other murders from the 70's and 80's.

The Khamar Daban Incident - Six Hikers Die a Very Gruesome and Mysterious Death in Russia (Not Dyatlov Pass) Mar 03, 2023

Show notes

The hikers clutched their throats, tore off their clothes, some began bleeding from their eyes, ears, noses and mouths. Their deaths were quick and mysterious. Even with one miraculous survivor and witness, their deaths can’t be explained in a way that satisfies. How could six young, strong, healthy people die in the middle of the summer on mountain at a relatively low elevation and were their deaths simply an accident or something much worse?
