82: The Andre Daigle Case
Andre was a tall dark drink of water and had his whole life ahead of him at 27 years old. He was kind hearted and helpful, something that would ultimately lead to his death all at the hands of three individuals that thought if they could prove themselves capable of murder then they could take on the world. It is possible his case might never have been solved if Andre's sister had not enlisted the help of Psychic Rosemarie Kerr, the first ever Psychic to testify at a murder trial.

81: The Murder of Julie Popovich
Julie Popovich was a 20 year old aspiring model before she disappeared from a bar in Ohio on the early morning hours of August 12, 2005. Her body was found by county workers nearly a month after her death....and three weeks after a medium named Kristy Robinette said that Julie's spirit came to her and told her to draw a map to the location of her body. The man convicted of her murder has exhausted his appeals and although the evidence is stacked against him, he maintains his innocence.

78: The Curse of Leonarda
This case couldn’t be more fitting for our Halloween special. It really has it all, and probably not in a good way. We are discussing the tragic true case of Leonarda Ciancuilli. Born out of hate, and a victim of extreme trauma herself-Leonarda’s life was full of pain and tragedy and as a result she becomes obsessed with various forms of the occult, Wicca and other alternative spiritual practices and the outcome is shocking.

77: The Real Amityville Story
In honor of Halloween, we wanted to bring you a good old fashioned spooky case…a case in which a series of well known horror movies stemmed from in 1979, into the 1980s, ‘90s, and STILL into the 2000s. If you are a scary/paranormal movie buff, you of course know of Amityville. This week we discuss the very horrific TRUE crime story involving the murder of the Defoe family in November of 1974.
