  • Episode 224 - Deadly Catch - The Catfishing and Death of Renae Marsden
    Jul 14 2024
    On a beautiful day in sunny Sydney, Australia, Renae Marsden made her way to Jacob’s Ladder - a lookout in Watsons Bay's oceanside suburb. It was the 5th of August, 2013, and Renae was just a couple months shy of her 21st birthday. Climbing up a cliff known as “The Gap”, Renae stared into the crashing waves below. It had been a devastating day, after her boyfriend, Brayden Spiteri, sent her a text that read, “I think I need a break, and so do you.” Renae then sent a few texts back, including one to her mother, telling her she loved her and was sorry. She then threw her phone into the ocean. Minutes later, Renae followed her phone over the cliff's edge.

  • Episode 221 - Richard Craniums - The Murder of Nicole VanderHeyden
    Jun 23 2024
    Imagine you’re accused of a murder you didn’t commit. What's the worst alibi you could possibly have? It's the one with no eyewitnesses, right? It's the one that’s impossible to prove and might even seem a bit too convenient. Now, picture your dread as a detective leans in across the interrogation table and asks, "Where were you on the morning of “such and such a date”, between 3 and 6 in the morning?" Your heart sinks cause your only answer is the honest one: "I was at home, asleep all night in bed by myself." It’s an alibi like this that can put a person in the hot seat even if they ARE telling the truth.

  • Episode 220 - Broken Connections - The Disturbing Case of Mom-influencer Ruby Franke
    Jun 16 2024
    In the high desert of Utah, there’s a 10,000-square-foot house that’s considered an architectural masterpiece, constructed to seamlessly blend into the rocky landscape, as if rising from the ground.

    While the intent was to maximize the views of the Red Mountain Wilderness, it’s also a stark-looking home. Its brutalist architecture making it appear more like a compound, a place made to keep people inside.

    And it seemed it had…when on the morning of August 30th, 2023, a 12-year-old boy climbed out one of the windows to make an escape.

  • Episode 218 - Disciples of Destruction - The Murder of Kimberly Cates
    Jun 2 2024
    In the very early morning hours of October 4th, 2009, a quiet town in New Hampshire was shattered by a brutal and senseless attack, leaving a mother dead and her daughter gravely injured. The motive for the gruesome home invasion was chillingly absent, leading investigators to classify it as a "Thrill Kill." But as police dug deeper into the case, they uncovered a disturbing revelation: the perpetrators of the horrific attack were a group of teenage outcasts driven by a dark and twisted ideology.
