Not only did the Lone Mountain actually function as a working cattle ranch, it also offered luxury guest accommodations for tourists looking to get a taste of the Old West. On a hot July day in 1984, one of the staff members had decided to go out for a run along a well-used trail through the scenic beauty of the surrounding area and never returned.

Episode 138 - Partners In Crime

What if I told you that the boogeyman was real? That there really was a dark figure running around out there waiting to strike, where exactly, nobody knows. Maybe hiding out in the woods, the toolshed, or somewhere even closer....like your closet. And because the possibilities are endless, that’s precisely why it's so terrifying. Now, what if I told you that there were two of them?

Episode 134 - Framed: The Story Of Russ Faria - Part 1/2

We take a look into a case with so many twists and turns, that it’s made its way into a dramatized series “The thing about Pam” starring Rene Zellweger. However, in this version of events, Pam Hupp takes a backseat as we focus on the destruction she left in her wake. Her victims, the survivors, and how Russ Faria was left picking up the pieces of his life, ignited by a single mission - to prevent his experience from ever happening to someone else.

Episode 133 - Blue Moon Murders

On August 4th, 2015 in Pensacola, Florida.
