Last seen hitchhiking next to a major highway, she vanished before she made it to either of her destinations. What ensued was a relentless search by her mother, countless harassing phone calls from her alleged kidnapper, and rumors of a motorcycle gang abduction. This is the story of Amy Billig.

In the early months of 2023, six women turned up dead in and around Portland, Oregon, sparking rumors of a serial killer. Though police originally claimed they did not believe that the cases were connected, similarities emerged between four of the women, and one man linked them all. To the dismay of the public, not only did this suspect have multiple other crimes under his belt, but he had been granted early release from prison for fighting forest fires on the west coast. These are the stories of Kristin Smith, Charity Perry, Bridget Webster, Joanna Speaks, Ashley Real, and an unidentified Native woman. It’s also the story of Jesse Lee Calhoun.

In November of 2015, a 35-year-old woman left her Spokane, Washington home late one night to run an errand, leaving a note behind for her fiancé. When she never returned, her fiancé went looking for her, and discovered her locked car abandoned near a music venue with her purse and phone inside. When sightings of her acting strangely poured in from another side of town, suspicions of a mental health crisis were raised, until theories emerged about the two men who were last seen accompanying her, as well as her fiancé himself. This is the story of Deanne Hastings.

In January of 2002, a 20-year-old man was working a surveying job in a Georgia forest when he vanished without a trace. When his co-workers realized he was no longer standing in the line, they began their search for him, only to find one of his boots hanging from a barbed wire fence, with his work tools, his work pants, and twelve cents laying in the grass next to it.

You know Sandy killed her own daughter...
There is the direct appeal that is automatically given to everyone sentenced to death in the US.
I hope the family sued the shit out of those pigs for their gross incompetence. This whole case could have been avoided if they had just done their fucking jobs.
His recorded "confession" sounds like he's making it up as he goes along. They give the best descriptions of this guy in this episode: fucking loser, super pathetic, fragile little man, and a "piece of absolute dog shit".
Exploring disappearance and murder cases can be riveting. Looking forward to tuning in for the new episodes every Tuesday and Friday at 2pm PST by checking out this one: https://nsfasstatuschecks.co.za/
The phone call is so heartbreaking. He's so detached and cold.
