Yogurt Shop Murders Part 2- Re-release Aug 11, 2025

Show notes

This episode originally aired in 2021.

Today I am covering a case from 1991 that absolutely shook Austin, Texas, to its core when Sergeant John Jones got the call that the I Can't Believe it’s Yogurt shop was on fire and soon discovered the bodies of 4 teenage girls inside. Their cases were collectively coined the yogurt shop murders, and it’s one of the most notorious and puzzling cases from Austin to this day.

Rosemary Brown and Melissa Trussell Aug 07, 2025

Show notes

On Saturday, May 13, 2000, in Adelaide, South Australia, a mother and her teenage daughter were last seen leaving their home at 2:30 a.m. We don’t know why or what happened to them after that. What we do know is that one of them was murdered, and the other remains missing to this day. But thanks to a recent discovery just a few weeks before recording this episode, rewards totaling over a million dollars and new technology, investigators are more hopeful than ever that this case can and will be solved.

There is a $200,000 reward for information about Rosemary Brown and $1,000,000 reward for information about Melissa Trussell. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-333-0000. Information can also be submitted through their website Crimestoppers.com.au.

Lilly and Jack Sullivan Jul 11, 2025

Show notes

Six-year-old Lilly and four-year-old Jack Sullivan vanished from their rural Nova Scotia home on May 2nd, 2025. Their disappearance sparked an immediate and massive search effort, involving hundreds of volunteer searchers, K9 units, helicopters, drones, and specialized RCMP units, meticulously combing miles of the dense, challenging terrain near Lansdowne Station.

Despite these efforts, there have been no confirmed sightings of the kids, and it seems like the best evidence they have is a child-sized boot print and potentially a piece of blanket belonging to one of the children.

Anyone with information can call the Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program at 1-888-710-9090. If you’d prefer to remain anonymous, you can call Crime Stoppers of Nova Scotia at 1-800-222-8477. There is a $150,000 reward for information leading to Lilly and Jack.
