    Pennsylvania: The Murders of Andrew and Zachary Bagby
    Jun 3 2024
    Andrew Bagby was a well-liked and gregarious guy who always knew he wanted to be a doctor. He went to medical school in Newfoundland, Canada, and that is where the 28-year-old met 40-year-old Shirley Turner. Shirley was twice divorced and had left three kids behind with three different fathers when she went to medical school.
    Andrew Bagby broke things off with Shirley Turner when he started his residency in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, but Shirley did not like that much. She came back to Pennsylvania and fatally shot Andrew Bagby on November 5, 2001. Shirley would be in and out of jail, and, over the next year, birthed Andrew's baby, a boy named Zachary.
    What followed was a tragic occurence that Andrew Bagby's parents tried to prevent. Shirley would soon take her own life, as well as that of her son, Zachary.

  • Oregon: The Cowden Family Killings

    Oregon: The Cowden Family Killings
    May 20 2024
    On the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, 1974, the Cowden family, which consisted of Richard Cowden, 28, Belinda, 22, David, 5, and Melissa, 5 months, made a spontaneous decision to go camping at one of their favorite spots, Carbury Creek, 40 miles to the Southwest from where they lived in White City, Oregon. They packed the truck then stopped off at the General Store in Copper, Oregon to visit Belinda's mother, Ruth Grayson. Ruth offered to have the family over for lunch the next day, Sunday. The family agreed and set off.
    But when the next night rolled around and Ruth still hadn't heard from her daughter and her family, she made the mile drive to go look for them. What she found was concerning. Melissa's diaper bag and fishing poles were next to some trees. Richard's wallet and watch were on the ground, along with Belinda's cigarettes. And some milk and water had been left out on a picnic table. There was no sign of the Cowden family.
    A search began that same day and lasted for months. Until finally, half a year later, the family's bodies were discovered near and inside an old mining cave. But who would do such a thing? And what sort of depraved killer would have wanted a young, innocent family dead?

  • Oklahoma: The Murder of Brittany Phillips

    Oklahoma: The Murder of Brittany Phillips
    May 6 2024
    Brittany Phillips had just moved back home to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend nearby Tulsa Community College, with plans to transfer to Oklahoma State. She aspired to work in the medical field. She had a lot of friends nearby, and was very close with her mother, whom she talked to at least once a day and made the two hour drive to visit every weekend. But at the end of September, 2004, Brittany's mom, Maggie had not heard from her.
    Neither had her friends. So one of her friends went to check on her and found her apartment door ajar. Not wanting to enter, she called her father, a former District Attorney, who called some police buddies to do a wellness check. There was Brittany, lying on the floor by her bed. She was dead and had been sexually assaulted.
    What followed was two decades of the desperate search for Brittany's killer. Her mother, Maggie, still travels the country, searching in desperation for who could have done this to her. If you have any information on Brittany Phillips' murder please contact someone below.
