Lost at Sea: Rebecca Coriam
Our case this week investigates the disappearance of Rebecca Coriam--the first person to go missing from a Disney Cruise Line on March 22nd, 2011. Since she vanished many have tried to piece together what little evidence there was from the scene and the investigation, but with Disney officials refusing to comment, a minimal and insufficient police investigation, and only one short clip of CCTV footage, there is not much to go on. Was Rebecca a just the unfortunate victim of a stray wave or is there more to this tragic story?

Murder of: Kevin Bacon
In 2019, Kevin was working as a hairdresser while finishing up a degree in Applied Psychology. On Christmas Eve of that year, he ventured out to meet a man he had been chatting with on the dating Grindr. When he didn't make it to a Christmas breakfast the next morning, his family and friends knew that something terrible had happened. But as the investigation unfolded, what they found was worse than they could have imagined. Since meeting new people in the 21st century often involves dating apps or online platforms, getting together in person for the first time can be nerve racking. As Kevin's story proves, it's important to make sure you really know who you're meeting. It could be the difference between life and death.

The Covina Massacre
In more typical years than what we all experienced in 2020, the holiday seasons mean families are gathering, gifts are exchanged, and for some, it's the most joyous time of the year. On Christmas Eve of 2008, Joseph "Papa Joe" Ortega and his wife Alicia, were hosting a festive holiday party for their children and grandchildren at their home in Covina, California. When they opened the front door that night, while the party was well underway, to a man wearing a Santa Claus costume and holding a large gift-wrapped package, they had no idea the devastation that would ensue when that man opened fire on the unsuspecting family.
