"Two Can Keep a Secret if One of Them is Dead" - The murder of Grace Millane by Jesse Kempson Feb 26, 2023

Show notes

The murder of British backpacker Grace Millane in New Zealand in 2018 was so heartless that her death would cause an outpouring of sympathy on 2 sides of the world. She swiped right on a man who killed her on their first date. She hadn't known that 8 month earlier, her date, Jesse Kempson raped another backpacker and had a history of violence. The world would watch on as police pieced together her last moments and caught her killer who would later use what was termed the "50 Shades of Gray Defense".

Show notes

The desert can be a brutal tormentor especially for people who aren't prepared. The hot sun licking at exposed skin, the dry air sucking its victims dry. Park rangers find dehydrated hikers rambling around, incoherent, some barely able to stand. But on August 4th 1999, just a Stones throw from a trail head, Park rangers would come upon something they never could have anticipated….. the body of a man covered in stones and his apparent killer resting in a tent nearby. The death would be blamed on the desert and the killer hoped, the jury would believe him.

Show notes

A dedicated brother wanted to fulfill his brothers dying wish which was to be buried. The problem was that in China, especially in densely populated areas, burials have been forbidden. Cremation is encouraged instead. In some instances, a dead persons will is not allowed to be executed without proof of cremation. In an attempt to get around the "no burial law" the Huang family had no idea that their actions, would lead to the death of another person and that another family would mourn the loss of their son and brother.

Mystery on Lake Huron - The Death of Lana Stempien and Missing Charles (Chuck) Rutherford Dec 16, 2022

Show notes

Lana and Chuck, both 35 years old, disappeared under what her family believes are mysterious circumstances. They were on a boating vacation in Lake Huron when their boat was found off course, tossing about in rough water with the engine in idle, music still playing on the stereo. No one was on the boat. Nearly 2 weeks later, Lana's body was found 7 miles from where her boat was found. She was naked except for her jewelry. There were no cuts or bruises. Chuck's body never surfaced. Ever since her body was found, locals have whispered about "hunches" and "what if's" especially after reports of loud public arguments between the couple were reported. We can't forget the erased information from the boats global positioning system either. Was this an accident or a murder and where is Chuck?
