At nearly 80 years old, Vernon Holbrook was showing no signs of slowing down.

So when Vernon Holbrook was viciously attacked while on the job, everyone was shocked. Why would anyone want to harm this man? Support us! Want ad free listening?

This week, we look at the death of Taleah Lowe, an 18 year old Black freshman girl at Grand Valley State University. In all of these cases, the cause of death was ruled an accident or possible suicide. But to the families of the victims and many people who have heard the story, that answer just doesn't make sense.

This fall, Isabella Kalua's parents reported their 6 year old adopted daughter missing. After an 8 week search, an arrest was made suddenly. On November 10th, the very people who reported her missing were charged with second degree murder. With much of this case still unfolding, we'll try to give you the most up to date information. Unfortunately, there's still much we don't know about how Isabella went missing and the allegations against those who promised to care for her. As a warning, this case includes a graphic description of abuse of a child. Support us! Want ad free listening?

Everyone knew that Denise Anderson was being harassed by her ex-boyfriend, Sheldon Davis. He was stalking her, had physically assaulted her, vandalized her car, and threatened her. Denise had gone to the police three times looking for help. But the law was clear: the police couldn't arrest Sheldon Davis on Domestic abuse charges, because Denise wasn't dating him anymore. By law, they were just "estranged friends." When her body was found at the end of the summer in 2019, dead inside a burning apartment, there really wasn't any question about who killed Denise. Everyone only wondered, why wasn't Sheldon stopped sooner? Support us! Want ad free listening?

When 29 year old Jacob Millison went missing, his family was adamant that he was fine. They were so calm and assured in their testimonies, that the police in Gunnison, Colorado closed their investigation into his disappearance after one interview. But, Jake's friends knew there had to be more to the story and pushed for years to get justice for Jake. This story is one full of sibling rivalry, family greed, and the fight for answers from friends who loved Jake more than his own family. Support us! Want ad free listening?

In this case, there is no moral about remembering to lock the door behind you. There's no advice on how to dress, where to go, or what to do to stay safe. In this case, 27 year old Lauren Giddings did everything right. She was friendly, compassionate, and caring towards her neighbor, a man a bit younger than her who everyone else thought was a bit too weird. Lauren joked that if he was dangerous, she would be the only one who was spared.... Because she always treated him right and with kindness. But, when she was found murdered during the summer of 2011, she couldn't have been more wrong. Support us! Want ad free listening?

In some cases, the answer isn't obvious. Sometimes a vital clue is still missing, the police are withholding evidence from the public, or there are some stories that just don't add up. In this week's case, it seemed that even after all the evidence was released and the story seemed fairly straightforward, the public wasn't, and still isn't, satisfied. In this episode we will cover the missing case of Keneeka Jenkins. Support us! Want ad free listening?

Jelani Day was such a dedicated student that when he didn't show up for class on August 24th, 2021, his professor immediately knew something was wrong. Jelani Day was such a caring son that when his mother texted him, and he didn't call her back right away to chat, Carmen Bolden Day knew that something had happened to her baby. When his body was found in the Illinois River in a town he had no connection to weeks after his disappearance, the police seemed content to label his death a suicide or an accident--but with the facts and evidence gathered, Carmen and the rest of Jelani's family are sure that Jelani didn't end up in the water of his own accord. How did a young Black man with so much promise and things to live for wind up in a river of a small town an hour away from his home? Support us! Want ad free listening?

Some of the killers we've talked about had terrible childhoods filled with abuse and unimaginable grief. Some have convinced themselves that their potential gains, maybe money or protecting a secret, justify their crime. And while none of this justifies murder, it can helps us try to better make sense of a horrible tragedy. But there is no such motive or sympathetic backstory for the man who brutally killed Karen Buckley, a 24 year old Irish nurse and master's student, who was enjoying a night out with friends in Glasgow in April 2015. As the judge said in his sentencing, Alexander Pacteau, was a "callous and calculating" murderer who took the life of a young woman who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.  Support us!
