On August 2, 2017, 21-year-old Savannah Gold arrived for her shift at a Jacksonville, Florida, restaurant.

She never made it inside.

Within hours, her family began receiving strange text messages from Savannah’s phone. The messages claimed she was leaving town with a man and needed some time away.

But something wasn’t right.

As investigators began piecing together Savannah’s final moments, surveillance footage, suspicious messages, and a disturbing confession would reveal what really happened that morning.

And the truth was far more horrifying than anyone could have imagined.

In this episode of After the Porch Light, Mr. & Mrs. B walk through Savannah’s final hours, the investigation that followed, and the devastating betrayal behind her murder.

Because Savannah Gold deserved so much more than the ending she was given.

🕯️ When the porch light goes out, the stories begin.

Some of the most terrifying stories don’t begin in dark alleys or unfamiliar places. Sometimes, they begin right across the street.

In November 1998, 8-year-old Maddie Clifton disappeared from her Jacksonville, Florida neighborhood. What began as an ordinary afternoon quickly turned into a desperate search that captured the attention of an entire community.

For seven days, family, friends, neighbors, and investigators searched for Maddie. But the answers they were looking for were much closer to home than anyone could have imagined.

Tonight on After the Porch Light, Mr. & Mrs. B walk through Maddie’s heartbreaking case, the investigation, the discovery that shocked a neighborhood, and the devastating aftermath.

Because sometimes, the danger isn’t lurking in the shadows. Sometimes, it’s just across the street.
