  • Noah Presgrove: A Small Town Secret
    May 22 2024

    On September 4th, 2023, at around 5:53 am, 19-year-old Noah Presgrove was found dead on the side of an Oklahoma highway. It was a bizarre scene - Noah was found wearing mismatched shoes, with only one of the shoes belonging to him. His shorts were found a few feet away from his body, along with three pieces of white metal chain and part of his tooth. There were two chunks of hair found - one on the roadway and one on his right butt cheek. Noah had attended a party earlier that evening, where there was a ton of alcohol involved. He had also been involved in an ATV accident at the party but was not seriously injured.

    At first glance, it appeared that he may have been the victim of a hit-and-run while walking home from the party, but his autopsy results would show that may not be the case. His cause of death was labelled “undetermined”, while his manner of death was a result of multiple blunt-force injuries, including trauma to his skull - almost splitting it in two, his neck, torso, teeth and tongue.

    It would later be revealed that Noah had been involved in an argument shortly before leaving the party and now many, including his family, wonder if someone purposely took his life.

    The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is not currently investigating Noah’s death as a homicide, however, Noah’s family wants answers and is raising money to hire a private investigator.

    We’re going to talk about all of the reasons Noah Presgrove’s suspicious death deserves to have a second look.

  • Sebastian Rogers is Missing: What Goes Bump in the Night?
    May 17 2024

    It was the morning of February 26, 2024, and it was supposed to be a day like any other. At around 6am, Katie Proudfoot walked into the bedroom of her 15-year-old son, Sebastian Rogers, to wake him up for school. To her shock, she found his room empty - he was gone. Not in his room and nowhere to be found elsewhere in their Tennessee home. Yes, Sebastian was a teenager and sometimes they can be notorious for sneaking out or leaving without telling their parents where they’re going - but in Sebastian’s case, his absence was particularly alarming. He’s a bright young man, but he also has high-functioning autism and wasn’t known to ever leave the house on his own.

    Katie called her husband, Sebastian’s step-father, who was working out of town at the time and he alerted the police to their missing son. Both state and local authorities, as well as search parties spearheaded by Sebastian’s father, Seth Rogers, have utilized drones, helicopters and canine to try to locate the teen - but it has been months without any sign of Sebastian.

    With no obvious signs of foul play, it begs the question - how can a 15-year-old-run away leaving absolutely no trail behind? We’re going to talk through the timeline, the searches and a possible recent sighting of Sebastian with the hope that someone out there knows something that might help to bring him home.

  • Thad Phillips: The Lone Survivor of the Bonebreaker Killer
    May 14 2024

    It was the summer of 1995. 13-year-old Thad Phillips had fallen asleep in his living room watching a movie. Suddenly, he awoke to the feeling of someone lifting him up and carrying him away - initially he thought maybe it was his dad, bringing him upstairs to bed. But it wasn’t. The person holding him was an older teen boy named Joe Clark. Joe carried Thad outside of his home and asked him to follow him to help fix his broken-down car. Still half asleep, Thad agreed, following Joe all of the way to a rundown broken home. He followed Joe into the home, not realizing he was about to endure the most terrifying, painful 43 hours of his life. The teenage boy that Thad thought could be a friend turned into his worst nightmare.

    Joe loved the sound of bones breaking. He attacked Thad, twisting and turning his ankles until his bones shattered and splintered, making it nearly impossible for the young boy to get away. After two days of being tortured, miraculously, Thad was able to escape with his life. He was lucky, because as it turned out - he wasn’t the only victim of Joe Clark, but he was the only one to live.

    This is the story of Thad Phillips, the lone survivor of the bone breaker killer.
