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. But as the fires were put out, one haunting question remained: where were the bodies? In this episode, we unravel the baffling disappearance of the Sodder Children- from missing remains and incomplete fire investigations to strange sightings, unanswered threats, and a mother who refused to accept the official stor...
This week, we’re re-visting one of the most notorious wrongful-conviction cases in modern true crime: the story of Adnan Syed. In this episode, we unravel the whirlwind of developments since his conviction was vacated in 2022 — from the evidence (or lack thereof) that set him free after 23 years behind bars, to the legal rollercoaster that followed. After HBO dropped a brand-new fifth chapter of The Case Against Adnan Syed docuseries, the case has exploded back into the spotlight. We break do...

From the bruises on Ellen’s body to the wo...
In our season six finale, we cover the trial of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. Once a major figure in the music industry, Diddy now faces serious allegations, including sex trafficking, assault, and other federal crimes. We break down the timeline of events — from the first civil lawsuits in 2023 to the federal raids on his homes and the growing list of accusers.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the disappearance of Dylan Ehler — a case that has haunted his family and baf...
On May 2 2025, siblings Lily, aged 6, and Jack, aged 4, disappeared from their home in rural Nova Scotia, leaving behind few clues and countless questions. The peaceful community of Lansdowne Station was shaken as search crews scoured the surrounding forest, but days later, the children remain missing. In this episode, we examine the facts of the case so far, the growing concerns from the public and the questions surrounding how two young children could vanish without a trace. As the investig...
In this episode, we delve into Free: My Search for Meaning, the new memoir from Amanda Knox, whose name became synonymous with one of the most controversial murder cases of the 21st century. We unpack the most compelling takeaways from the book, including Knox’s struggles with re-entry into American life after spending years in an Italian prison, her total loss of anonymity and, years later, her emotional return to Italy to meet face-to-face with the prosecutor who helped put her behin...
On August 12, 1989, nineteen-year-old Kimberly McAndrew left work early on a Saturday afternoon in Halifax, Nova Scotia, excited for the weekend ahead. Somewhere between the store and her home, she vanished. No witnesses, no clear evidence — just a young woman missing without explanation. In the nearly 36 years since she disappeared, the only reported sighting of her was at a flower shop on the opposite side of the city that same afternoon, but there's still a debate about whether this was ac...

We discuss cryptic emails and sudden travel plans to witness accounts and bran...
On February 17, 2025, firefighters responded to a house fire in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Authorities now allege that he had been held captive in that home for over two decades, since the age of 11. As more details emerge, disturbing accounts of his ordeal paint a grim picture of a system that failed him. Evidence suggests that officials had...
Bryce Laspisa returned to college for his sophomore year after a successful freshman year and a great summer. But within days of the new semester, his behaviour took a sudden and troubling turn—he began staying up all night, drinking heavily, and misusing Vyvanse (a stimulant similar to Adderall) without a prescription. One night while acting erratically, he calls his mother and says he has something important to tell her. Soon after, he sets off on what should have been a simple seven-hour d...
