True Crime Recaps

Janet Dennis was a devoted school nurse and mother who disappeared shortly before Christmas. Her vehicle was later found at an airport with Christmas presents for her children still inside, leaving investigators trying to understand where she had gone and what had happened. Early attention focused elsewhere, but the investigation changed direction when information emerged about activity at the sprawling ranch belonging to Janet's former husband, Leroy Dennis. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, Amy examines Janet's disappearance, the initial investigation, the evidence that eventually led detectives to the family ranch, and the discoveries that transformed the case. We also look at how investigators reconstructed what happened to Janet, the evidence presented against Leroy Dennis, and the trial that ultimately resulted in his conviction.

Corie Walsh is facing charges following the death of her two-year-old son, Barrett, at their Illinois home in September 2026. According to prosecutors, Walsh had been following and discussing the Lindsay Clancy trial earlier that day. Hours later, her older children returned home and sought help from a neighbour, leading authorities to the family home. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we examine the timeline prosecutors have presented, the circumstances surrounding Barrett's death, statements attributed to Walsh, and the competing arguments beginning to emerge as the case moves through the legal system. Prosecutors have highlighted Walsh's interest in the Lindsay Clancy trial, while her defence has pushed back against suggestions that the case influenced her actions and has pointed instead to evidence they argue is consistent with a severe mental-health episode. Corie Walsh has been charged, but the case has not yet gone to trial. The allegations against her have not been proven in court, and she is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Three people and families seemingly disappear in three very different places: a hospital in South Africa, a home in San Francisco and an isolated farmhouse in the Netherlands. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, Chris examines three unusual disappearance cases involving Sandile Sibiya, Brian Egg and the Ruinerwold farmhouse family. Each investigation unfolded differently. One began with a puzzling disappearance from a hospital, another became an unresolved San Francisco investigation, while the third revealed that a family had been living largely hidden from the outside world for years. We examine what investigators discovered in each case, the questions that remain unanswered and how circumstances that initially seemed inexplicable eventually began to make more sense.

In April 2025, 18-month-old twins Dallas and Tyson Shaw were found unresponsive at their home in Payette, Idaho, days after receiving scheduled childhood immunizations. Their mother, Andrea Shaw, publicly attributed their deaths to complications following those vaccinations. Investigators, however, pursued a different explanation, and more than a year later Andrea was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we examine the timeline surrounding the twins' deaths, the medical findings cited in the case, Andrea's account of what happened, and the evidence prosecutors say supports their allegations. We also look at the questions expected to be contested in court, including the interpretation of the forensic evidence and the events leading up to Dallas and Tyson being found unresponsive. Andrea Shaw has maintained her innocence. The charges against her are allegations, and the case has not yet been decided by a jury. Follow True Crime Recaps for new true crime episodes every week.

Nearly two years after Mica Miller’s death, her story has returned to the spotlight following Netflix’s Death of the Pastor’s Wife and a separate federal case involving her estranged husband, John-Paul Miller. Before her death, Mica had reported concerns about being followed, tracking devices being found on vehicles she drove, damaged tyres and fears for her safety. Her death was officially ruled a suicide. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we revisit Mica Miller’s final months, the allegations surrounding her marriage, the evidence examined by investigators, the story presented in the Netflix documentary and the developments that followed. We also look at the federal case involving John-Paul Miller, who was indicted in December 2025 on cyberstalking and false-statements charges. John-Paul Miller has pleaded not guilty to the federal charges and has not been charged in connection with Mica Miller’s death. Follow True Crime Recaps for new true crime episodes every week.
