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. Escambia County Sheriff, David Morgan delivered a disturbing press conference, giving insight into a recent triple homicide that had taken place inside a quiet suburban home.
The grizzly crime scene he described and the brutal way the victims had been murdered was disturbing, but it’s what he said next that sent chills down reporter's spines.
The murders appeared to have been ritualistic. Part of some sort of witchcraft ceremony coinciding with the recent and rare Blue Moon.

Episode 132 - The Birdhouse
It was undeniable, that Eudy Simelane was born to play soccer. From an early age, she gravitated to the sport and by the time she was an adult, was being recognized as one of South Africa's star players.
But while Eudy proudly represented her country with her gifted athletic abilities, she eventually decided to dedicate herself to representing a different community. A community in need of a champion, a strong voice against hate crimes in South Africa. A force that would continue, even into her heartbreaking and barbaric murder.

Episode 131 - Stranger Than Fiction
“Who are you and what have you done with my wife?” It's the kind of rhetorical question asked in jest, expressing pleasant surprise when someone has a change in behavior or attitude.
But what if this wasn’t a rhetorical question? What if someone believed their spouse had actually been replaced by someone else? An imposter. A lookalike. Suddenly “Who are you and what have you done with my wife” takes on a much darker, and more sinister tone.

Episode 130 - Hiding In Plain Sight
Watch enough crime shows and it doesn’t take long to figure out the steps a killer will take to get away with murder.
They stage the crime scene, they ditch the murder weapon, they fabricate an alibi, and at all costs, make sure to keep their mouths shut until the day they die.
But in the case you’re about to hear the killer takes things a step further by actually manipulating information in the case file. Even making evidence disappear. All while hiding in plain sight for more than two decades.

Episode 129 - Redhead Murders
In the mid-1980s, numerous bodies were discovered along the highways of the American South over the course of several years. They were all women. They all had red hair. And all of them had been murdered.
This is a unique case unlike any other we’ve ever told. Because it involves a podcast host who went beyond what you’d normally expect of a podcaster.
