Killer Turned Horror Movie Star?! The Case of Shane Moore and Tucker Reed

On July 26, 2016, then 27-year-old Tucker Reed shot and killed her uncle Shane Moore during a family dispute over land allocation and money. Moore was responsible for caring for his father, and was promised the land and house, but his sister, Tucker's mother, took issue with this, as she had debts, and was using the family for money. This hatred and jealousy of her brother clearly made its way to Tucker, who fatally shot him after the two went over to sabotage Moore's appointment with a Notary Public.

Vanished From Yoga Retreat In The Bahamas?! Where Is Taylor Casey?

On June 18th, 2024, 41-year-old yoga instructor Taylor Casey went missing from a month-long Bahamian yoga retreat. She was reported missing the following day after failing to make it to any of her classes. That July, her iPhone and journal were located, but they didn't lead police to any answers as to where she could have gone. Her family believes that the search for Taylor wasn't taken as seriously as it should have been because Taylor was a trans woman. To this day they are still looking for answers. — This episode is sponsored by: Kettle & Fire Fabletics Cash App - Promo code: SECURE10 Earnin Factor - Promo code: TCKR50off Check out my foundation: Higher Hope Foundation: https://www.higherhope.org Watch my documentaries: 530 Days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjUWkmOjNLk Apartment 801: https://bit.ly/2RJ9XXr True Crime with Kendall Rae podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3rks84o Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3jC66pr Shop my Merch! https://kendallrae.shop Check out my other podcasts: Mile Higher (True Crime) @milehigherpod YouTube: https://bit.ly/2ROzJcw Instagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherpod The Sesh (Current events, a little true crime, pop culture, and commentary) https://bit.ly/3Mtoz4X @the_seshpodcast Instagram: https://bit.ly/3a9t6Xr *Follow My Social!* @KendallRaeOnyt Instagram: http://instagram.com/kendallraeonyt Facebook: https://bit.ly/3kar4NK True Crime TikTok: https://bit.ly/3VDbc77 Personal TikTok: https://bit.ly/41hmRKg REQUESTS: General case suggestion form: https://zfrmz.com/yg9cuiWjUe2QY3hSC2V0 Form for people directly related/close to the victim: https://zfrmz.com/HGu2hZso42aHxARt1i67 Join my discord to chat with other viewers about this video, it’s free! https://discord.com/invite/an4stY9BCN  C O N T A C T:  For Business Inquiries - kendallrae@night.co  Send me mail: Kendall Rae 8547 E Arapahoe Rd Ste J #233 Greenwood Village, CO 80112

Her Ex Lied About His Identity, Then Took Her Life: The Murder of Lauren McCluskey

Lauren McCluskey was a 21-year-old college student with a full life ahead of her when she was killed by a vengeful stalker ex-boyfriend. She tried on multiple occasions to get both campus police and local police involved as her dangerous situation escalated, but sadly, they failed her so many times along the way. The worst part being that if someone with the police had realized that her ex was a felon on parole–or perhaps if they listened to her when she told them this–the whole tragedy could have been avoided.

Netflix’s Unknown Number: There’s More to the Story in Lauryn Licari’s Case

In October 2020, Lauryn Licari and her boyfriend Owen, both 13-years-old at the time, started receiving weird text messages about themselves from an unknown number. These weird messages would ramp up over the next few years, getting violent, graphic, and encouraging Lauryn to self-harm. After police got involved, the messages started to try to pin the sender as one of Lauryn’s classmates. Further investigation revealed Lauryn’s harasser’s identity, and it was a revelation no one was ready for.

Vanished From School? The Disappearance of Nathaniel Holmes

On December 19, 2017, 17-year-old Nathaniel Holmes was dropped off at high school for the last day of school before Winter Break, and was never seen by friends or family again. When his mother went to pick him up at the end of the day, she was informed by administration that Nathaniel wasn’t at school, and hadn’t been to classes all afternoon. He seemingly just left the building. Strangely, Nathaniel didn’t take any of his belongings with him–no phone, money, or anything that a “runaway” might want to take with them, if they were planning on running away. None of it made any sense. If you have information on Nathaniel’s disappearance, please contact the Westminster Police Department Tip Line at +1 (303) 658-4360.
