Crime Salad

On August 16, 2015, Sara Easton, a 31-year-old mother of three from Yuba City, California, died from a gunshot wound in her bedroom. Investigators quickly moved toward a suicide ruling. Her family never accepted it. Sara's husband was Aaron Easton, then-Chief of the Marysville Police Department. And the more forensic details emerged, including the autopsy findings, the toxicology results, the witness accounts, and the history of alleged domestic abuse, the more questions piled up around a case that many believe was never properly investigated. Was this a suicide? A homicide? And did Aaron Easton's position in law enforcement shape the way this case was handled? In this episode, Ashley and Ricky break down the full timeline of Sara's death, examine the forensic and autopsy evidence, explore the conflicts of interest that shadowed the investigation, and look at the later allegations against Aaron Easton that have kept this case under scrutiny for nearly a decade. Sara's family is still pushing for answers. This is their story and hers.

On a cold November morning in 2011, a 911 call shattered the silence along Interstate 77 near Marietta, Ohio. A car sat abandoned against a guardrail. Its lights were on. The driver was nowhere to be found. Minutes later, another call came in. A body had been discovered in the roadway. What followed should have been a straightforward investigation. There were crash reports, phone records, witness statements, and forensic evidence. But as the details began to surface, the story became anything but clear. The death of Jaleayah Davis has raised questions for more than a decade. Questions about what really happened on that dark stretch of highway. Questions about whether this was truly an accident or something far more complicated. In this episode of Crime Salad, we take a closer look at the timeline, the inconsistencies, and the pieces that don’t seem to fit. Because sometimes the truth isn’t just hidden. It’s buried beneath the version everyone accepted.  Try Miracle Made for yourself: https://trymiracle.com/CRIMESALAD Use code CRIMESALAD to claim your free 3-piece towel set and save over 40% Learn more about your ad choices.

Andrew Sadek was a 20-year-old college student at North Dakota State College of Science when he disappeared from his dorm in Wahpeton, North Dakota. Weeks later, his body was found in the Red River. His death was ruled a suicide, but the circumstances surrounding it have continued to raise questions. In this episode of Crime Salad, we examine Andrew’s case and the broader risks tied to confidential informant agreements, including the pressures placed on young or first-time offenders and the lack of consistent oversight and safety.

*Listener discretion is advised. This episode contains discussion of sexual violence, severe physical injury, and death. In the early morning hours of May 2003, a piercing fire alarm shattered the silence inside Hugh Poland Hall at Western Kentucky University. Students poured out into the dark, confused and half-asleep, unaware that behind one closed dorm room door an 18-year-old freshman was fighting for her life. This episode of Crime Salad examines the brutal attack on Katie Autry, a case that shocked the WKU campus, raised questions about campus safety, and continues to spark debate more than two decades later. Ashley and Ricky break down the timeline, the investigation, courtroom developments, and the lingering controversies surrounding one of the most disturbing true crime cases in Bowling Green, Kentucky. From the initial emergency response inside Room 214 to the legal aftermath and public reaction, this episode explores how a night meant to be ordinary turned into a tragedy that still resonates with students, families, and true crime followers today.

Ryder was a medically fragile child living with Sanfilippo Syndrome Type IIIB, a rare and terminal neurological disease that required constant specialized care. For years, his survival depended on strict medical routines, equipment management, and a caregiver trained to respond to emergencies. Then a custody battle moved his case from hospital rooms into courtrooms, where legal procedure began to outweigh medical warnings. In this episode, we examine the timeline of court decisions, ignored medical directives, and the devastating consequences that followed. This is not a mystery of who did it. It is a case that raises difficult questions about how family courts handle medically fragile children, what happens when expert medical advice is sidelined, and whether systems meant to protect can sometimes fail the very people they are designed to serve. This episode contains discussion of severe childhood illness and death. Listener discretion is advised.

On December 7, 2003, 13-year-old Daniel Morcombe disappeared while waiting for a bus beneath the Kiel Mountain Road overpass on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. What should have been a routine trip to Sunshine Plaza became one of the largest missing child investigations in Queensland history, spanning years of public tips, shifting timelines, and missed opportunities. In this episode of Crime Salad, Ashley and Ricky trace Daniel’s final known movements, the early police response, the flood of leads that overwhelmed investigators, and the long road to answers. Eight years later, an extraordinary undercover police operation finally drew out a confession from convicted child sex offender Brett Peter Cowan and led detectives to Daniel’s remains. Cowan was later convicted of murder, indecent treatment of a child, and interfering with a corpse. We also examine the lasting impact of Daniel’s case, including major procedural reforms in Queensland and the ongoing work of the Daniel Morcombe Foundation to promote child safety education.

In late spring 2009, Florida State University students in Tallahassee, Florida were wrapping up finals when 23-year-old Rachel Hoffman became the center of a police operation that would end in tragedy. In this episode of Crime Salad, we break down the Rachel Hoffman case, focusing on how a “controlled” and “by-the-book” confidential informant (CI) operation unraveled, and why officers reportedly waited more than 90 minutes after her last contact before launching a search. Rachel Hoffman was a college student with big plans, described as driven and fearless, working toward her future when she was asked to assist law enforcement as an informant during a drug sting in Tallahassee. What happened next raised serious questions about informant safety, police procedures, and accountability when undercover operations go wrong. We cover the timeline, the decisions made leading up to that night, and the broader issue of how confidential informants are used in drug investigations, especially when the informant is young, vulnerable, or under pressure. This is the story of Rachel Hoffman, and the failures that followed.

Nikki advocacy links We Stand With Nikki (website): https://westandwithnikki.com/ We Stand With Nikki (Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/WeStandWithNikki/ In September 2017 in Poughkeepsie, New York, a routine traffic stop led police to Nicole “Nikki” Addimando, a shaken mother of two who said she acted in self-defense. Hours later, her partner, Christopher Grover, was found dead, and Nikki was arrested. As investigators uncovered years of documented domestic violence, sexual assault, coercive control, and disturbing evidence of abuse, the case became a flashpoint for how the justice system treats criminalized survivors. In this Crime Salad episode, Ashley and Ricky break down the Nikki Addimando case, the trial, what the jury was and was not allowed to hear, the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act, and the advocacy that helped bring Nikki home.

Crime Salad steps into Weird History, traveling back to the early 1900s, when a glowing new element promised progress, beauty, and modern life. In this episode of Weird History by Crime Salad, we explore the rise of radium mania, from the young women who became known as the Radium Girls, to the powerful corporations that insisted radium was safe while workers grew sick and died. We touch on crumbling jaws, altered death certificates, and why early causes of death were quietly labeled as syphilis instead of radium poisoning. Names like Grace Fryer and Mollie Maggia emerge as whispers of a much larger truth. But the danger was not limited to factories. While workers were suffering, wealthy Americans were drinking radium by choice. Products like Radithor promised vitality and youth, until cases like Eben Byers forced the country to pay attention. From glowing watches and military dials made with Undark, to radium water crocks, cosmetics, alarm clocks, toys, and other everyday items, radioactive products found their way into homes across America. This episode looks at what happens when science, profit, and blind trust collide, and how the voices of the Radium Girls ultimately changed workplace safety and radiation laws forever. Sometimes the most dangerous things are the ones that glow.

Twenty-year-old Kaylene Marie Oehling disappeared from Etna, Pennsylvania, on January 10, 2020. What followed were years of confusion, frustration, and heartbreaking silence. At the center of this story is her father, Jason Oehling, whose relentless determination to find answers has never faded. For more than three years, Jason pushed for movement in a case that had stalled almost from the beginning. Then, in March 2023, Kaylene’s remains were unexpectedly discovered in a wooded area miles from where she was last seen. Much of what we share in this episode does not come from detailed police reports or official statements. Instead, it comes from Jason himself, someone who has been outspoken across social media, news interviews, and podcast appearances as he fights for clarity in his daughter’s case. We also spoke directly with Jason to confirm the details discussed in this episode. This is one of those cases where a family carries the weight of telling the story. Public information is limited. The timeline is fragmented. Investigators have not identified a cause or manner of death, and no one has ever been charged. Still, Jason continues to push forward, driven by love and the belief that the truth is still out there. In this episode, we walk through the known timeline of Kaylene’s disappearance, the recovery of her remains, the years of advocacy by her family, and the urgent need for answers. This is a case that has haunted a community and one that deserves far more attention. _______________________________________ Crime Salad Live Murder Mystery Event Get tickets here:  https://www.pave.live/crimesalad • KMNO – Help for the Missing and Murdered https://www.facebook.com/people/KMNO-Help-For-The-Missing-Murdered/61563347895168/ Justice for Kaylene – Community Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/480311013138270/ Public Petition: https://www.change.org/p/justiceforkaylene-kaylene-oehling  Submit a Tip  If you have any information, no matter how small it may seem, please reach out. • Allegheny County Police Homicide Unit  412-473-1200 • Anonymous Tip Line  https://allegheny.crimewatchpa.com Kaylene’s Memorial Fund  GoFundMe: GoFundMe Crime Salad Merch: https://crimesaladpodcast.dashery.com/ Ad-free & bonus episodes:Patreon.com/crimesaladpodcast Thanks for Supporting Crime Salad!

Southern Oregon is known for its stunning summer landscapes, remote forests, and quiet mountain towns. But in the beauty of Josephine County, isolation and danger often live side by side. In late June of 2020, 45-year-old Fauna Frey set out on a short drive through Grants Pass and the surrounding mountain roads, a route filled with winding highways, dense forests, and long stretches with no cell service. Somewhere along that journey, Fauna vanished without a trace. In this episode, Ashley and Ricky explore the rural communities of Southern Oregon, where abandoned mining towns, thinly stretched law enforcement, and high crime rates create the perfect environment for disappearances to go unnoticed. Her car, her belongings, and a series of strange clues left investigators puzzled and her family desperate for answers. This is the story of a woman who went missing on a warm June afternoon in 2020, a case that blends mystery, isolation, and the harsh realities of searching for a missing person in Oregon’s most rugged terrain. If you follow missing persons cases, unsolved disappearances, rural true crime, or stories centered around Southern Oregon and Josephine County, this episode will take you deep into one of the region’s most haunting mysteries. Listen as we break down the timeline, the evidence, the environment, and the theories surrounding the disappearance of Fauna Frey.  If you know anything, please contact the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 541-359-5638, or email FindFaunaFrey@gmail.com.

In the summer of 1983, 27-year-old Teresa “Terry” Peroni disappeared from a remote counterculture community in rural Oregon. For years, rumors circulated about communes, drugs, and the controlling man she had last been seen with. Her family searched, asked questions, and followed every lead, but Terry’s trail went cold. Her name slowly faded from public memory. In 1997, human remains were discovered in the Oregon wilderness, but they were never linked to Terry. It wasn’t until 2024, more than four decades after she vanished, that new forensic technology finally confirmed the truth. Her remains were identified. The case was reopened. And the man long suspected in her disappearance was arrested across state lines. This episode follows Terry’s journey for independence, the dangerous world she stepped into, the failures that allowed her case to go cold, and the small group of people who refused to let her story be forgotten.
