In the early hours of February 2, 2025, 22-year-old Liam Toman went missing during a ski weekend at Mont Tremblant. Shortly after 3 a.m., he left a nearby bar and began the brief walk back to his hotel. CCTV footage shows him moving through the resort village, appearing to head toward his hotel. Yet despite multiple cameras along the route, there is no record of him ever entering the building. One final moment—taking place just steps from where he was staying—is where the timeline stops...
Listener discretion advised: This episode discusses violence and sexual assault that may be disturbing to some listeners. In March 2011, a gruesome discovery inside a Lululemon store in Bethesda, Maryland shocked the community. Thirty-year-old employee Jayna Murray was found brutally murdered, while her coworker was discovered bound in the back room, claiming to have been attacked by masked intruders. At first, it looked like a robbery gone horribly wrong. But as investigators examined the cr...
In 2004, 14-year-old Max DeVries disappeared while on a family vacation in Aruba. What started as a relaxing trip took a tragic turn when Max went jet skiing with a man he had recently met at their resort—and never returned. Hours later, the man came back alone, injured and with a story that raised troubling questions. Authorities ruled that Max was likely lost at sea, but inconsistencies in police statements and unanswered details have fueled doubt for years. In this episode, we break down t...
This week, we examine the murders of Brianna Jankauskas and Grace Millane — two women in opposite parts of the world who went on dates with men they met online and never made it home. Tragically, what began as routine first dates quickly turned into criminal investigations and a pursuit of justice for their families. We also discuss "Operation Fireball", a terrifying look into a possible human-trafficking tactic that was launched after several women across the US experienced similarly e...
In February 2008, 24-year-old real estate agent Lindsay Buziak walked into a luxury home showing in Victoria, British Columbia… and never walked out. What was supposed to be a routine meeting with prospective buyers turned into one of Canada’s most chilling unsolved murders. The couple who requested the showing used fake names, burner phones, and a carefully crafted story to lure Lindsay to the vacant property. Within minutes, she was brutally stabbed. The suspects vanished without a trace. ...

In September 2020, 24-year-old Chelsea Poorman went missing from Vancouver, Canada. Last seen in the early morning hours on Granville Street, Chelsea disappeared without a trace. Her family reported her missing two days later, launching a search that would stretch on for nearly nineteen months. In April 2022, contractors made a shocking discovery: Chelsea’s skeletal remains were found in the backyard of a long-vacant mansion in Vancouver’s Shaughnessy neighbourhood. Police later stated her de...
When the Tromp family abruptly flees their quiet rural home in Australia on August 29, 2016, it sets off one of the most disturbing and perplexing cases the country has ever known. Less than 24 hours later, police receive a chilling late-night call: a young woman has been found barely conscious in the back of a stranger’s truck. She’s nearly catatonic, unable to say who she is or how she got there—until authorities identify her as 29-year-old Riana Tromp. How does someone go from fleeing with...
In Part Two of our deep dive into Israel Keyes, we examine the abduction and murders of Bill and Lorraine Currier, using their case to better understand the mindset and methods of one of the most calculated serial killers in modern U.S. history. Their murders in Vermont would later become a key piece in unraveling how Keyes selected victims at random, planned his crimes well in advance, and moved undetected across the country. Beyond the Currier case, this episode focuses on Israel Keyes hims...
In part one of a two-part deep dive, we discuss Israel Keyes—a methodical, calculating killer who traveled the US leaving little evidence of his crimes and believing he could remain invisible. For years, Keyes planned everything in advance, choosing victims at random and covering his tracks with chilling precision. That illusion shattered in 2012 with the abduction and murder of 18-year-old Samantha Koenig in Anchorage, Alaska. Kidnapped while working alone at a coffee stand (which was all ee...
For nearly seven years, Cindy James lived in a waking nightmare. Anonymous phone calls. Letters filled with threats. Break-ins that left no clear suspect. And attacks that seemed to escalate in both violence and cruelty. To friends, family, and police, Cindy appeared to be the target of a relentless and unseen stalker. But when Cindy went missing in 1989, the question shifted dramatically. Was Cindy James the victim of a sadistic predator who was never caught? Or was something far more compli...
In January 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse vanished from her Orlando condo without a trace. Her apartment showed signs of a normal morning routine — but she never made it to work. Later, her car was found abandoned at a nearby complex, with surveillance footage capturing an unidentified person dropping it off. The case quickly grew into one of Florida’s most haunting mysteries, marked by limited evidence, a faceless person of interest, and years of unanswered questions. Recent developments h...
In June 2009, a quiet, gray-haired man checked into a Sligo, Ireland hotel under the name Peter Bergmann—a name that would later prove false. Over the next three days, he wandered the town systematically disposing of personal belongings while evading CCTV, and keeping his movements eerily deliberate. When his body washed up dead on a local beach, investigators found no wallet, no phone, no identification—and no clues to who he really was. We retrace his final steps, examine the meticulo...
On Christmas Eve 1945, a devastating house fire tore through the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia. By morning, five of the Sodder children were presumed dead.
