    The disconnected battery cable that forced her into his truck
    2026/09/09
    A disconnected battery cable and a man who drove the county’s logging roads leave a trail that could expose who controlled her last movements?

    The disconnected battery cable that forced her into his truck

    In this episode, we follow the discovery that Lisa Taylor’s vehicle had been sabotaged days before she vanished and how that deliberate act reframes every movement around her disappearance. Who could access her car, and why would someone make her depend on a ride?

    Person: Lisa Taylor
    Date: body found February 12
    Location: Spur Nine, Harwick County
    Person: Russell Collins
    Event: battery cable disconnected before February 5

    - A deputy finds boot prints leading out of the trees and stopping at the edge of Spur Nine where Lisa Taylor’s body lies.
    - Nora Delgado reports Lisa’s last call on a Wednesday around 11 p.m.; she mentions the name Collins during that conversation.
    - Forensic timelines show Lisa’s battery cable was deliberately disconnected before February 5, weeks before her body is found.
    - Russell Collins, a driver for Harwick Logging, confirms giving Lisa a ride and provides a 6:44 a.m. fuel receipt as a timestamped alibi.
    - Mueller compares Collins’s fuel receipt to his mileage logs and finds the distances and timing geometrically inconsistent, suggesting an unreported detour.

    A maintenance tech buys rabbit food the morning Amanda Stevens disappears; detectives trace a receipt. How did that receipt expose him?

    The receipt that proved he bought Fig's food at 6:58

    In this episode, we follow the early hours after Amanda Stevens vanishes and the small details - a dry water bowl, a laminated feeding schedule, a handwritten note - that shape the investigation. The episode traces how routine, records, and a single debit receipt redirect suspicion and ask whether everyday habits can point to a suspect.

    Person: Amanda Stevens
    Person: Kevin Marsh
    Person: Lloyd Sharp
    Date: November 4, 2019
    Location: Hartwell Crossing, New Jersey

    - Amanda kept a laminated feeding chart in her kitchen cabinet with exact times: 6:15 AM and 5:45 PM.
    - Kevin Marsh, Amanda’s fiancé, found Fig unfed and called 911 at 8:14 AM on November 4.
    - Amanda’s phone pinged a cell tower near Decker Mill Road at 6:02 AM the morning she disappeared.
    - Lloyd Sharp, a maintenance technician, had one logged service visit to Amanda’s unit on October 2018 and access to the hallway where Fig’s carrier was stored.
    - Sharp’s debit card receipt shows a purchase of rabbit pellets and timothy hay at 6:58 AM on November 4, eleven minutes after Amanda’s phone went silent.

  • The laminated contractor badge slid from his hand and exposed a killer

    The laminated contractor badge slid from his hand and exposed a killer
    2026/09/09
    A man is found dead at a levee, and a laminated contractor badge lies nearby. This overlooked evidence could expose a killer in a chilling murder case.

    The laminated contractor badge slid from his hand and exposed a killer

    This episode delves into the murder of Terrence Holt and the subsequent investigation that led to the wrongful conviction of Linda Erickson. It explores how crucial evidence was missed and how a reversed surveillance video nearly buried the truth.

    Person: Terrence Holt
    Date: November 14, 2011
    Location: Sable River levee embankment, Harwick Falls
    Status: Deceased
    Evidence: Laminated contractor badge

    - Warren Padgett discovered Terrence Holt's body at the base of the Sable River levee embankment.
    - A laminated contractor badge was found ten feet from Holt's body but was logged as vendor debris and not photographed or fingerprinted.
    - Linda Erickson, a 24-year-old overnight worker at Dalton Foods, had a disciplinary write-up filed against her by Terrence Holt three days before his death.
    - Surveillance footage showing a figure at 1:47 AM was used to convict Linda, but the timestamp counter was running in reverse.
    - A Dalton Foods refrigeration-repair van was seen near the levee at 1:50 AM, and its entry into the property was based on a self-printed, non-existent work order.

  • The claddagh ring turned inward that proved she trusted him-and cost her life

    The claddagh ring turned inward that proved she trusted him-and cost her life
    2026/09/08
    A fisherman finds a hand in Beaver Creek - a claddagh turned inward points to trust, but who put Nicole West there, and how did that expose them?

    The claddagh ring turned inward that proved she trusted him-and cost her life

    In this episode we follow the moments and evidence around Nicole West’s disappearance and the discovery at Beaver Creek, laying out the movements, objects, and records investigators used to trace what happened. How did a shifted ring, a fuel card, and a cleaned truck bed line connect a man to the bank where her body was found?

    Victim: Nicole West
    Date: January 11 (body recovery)
    Location: Beaver Creek, Phelps County, Nebraska
    Case Status: Convicted - Randy Sullivan, one count first-degree murder, two counts evidence tampering
    Key Points: Nicole’s phone pinged toward Kellerman Grain at 6:02 PM; her bowling bag remained in her car trunk and she never reached Crossroads Lanes

    - Gordon Lawson went to check his trotline and uncovered a hand protruding from frozen gravel on Beaver Creek’s bank.
    - A gold claddagh ring sat on the left hand with the heart turned inward; Nicole’s sister Brenda later identified it from a photograph.
    - Nicole, normally at Wednesday bowling, did not attend that night; her phone pinged toward the grain elevator at 6:02 PM.
    - Randy Sullivan worked at Kellerman Grain; his truck bed liner showed a luminol reaction after being scrubbed and tested positive for Nicole’s DNA.
    - Sullivan’s fuel card placed his truck 0.3 miles from Nicole’s Sycamore Lane home the night she vanished, contradicting his Kearney alibi.

  • The ATM receipt that betrayed Russell Parker's alibi

    The ATM receipt that betrayed Russell Parker's alibi
    2026/09/08
    An ATM receipt timestamps a mechanic near the creek where Donna Hensley was found; can that evidence expose who walked away from her body?

    The ATM receipt that betrayed Russell Parker's alibi

    In this episode, we follow the early hours after Donna Hensley’s death and the small-town connections that make a single receipt a critical puzzle piece. What happens when a routine habit, a missing key-card and an ATM timestamp collide with two unexplained deaths?

    Person: Donna Hensley
    Person: Russell Parker
    Date: October 9, 2014
    Location: Harwick Creek trailhead, Harwick, Montana
    Event: ATM withdrawal at Harwick Gas & Feed, 6:52 AM

    - Dean Young found boot-prints in creek-bank mud that suggested someone walked away from Donna’s body in her boots.
    - Donna phoned her sister at 9:15 PM the night before and said Russell was stopping by; that weekly call had been uninterrupted for eleven years.
    - Donna’s Crestfall key-card, an item she never left home without for fourteen years, was missing from the scene, her house and her car.
    - Surveillance camera and timestamped ATM receipt show Russell Parker withdrawing $200 at 6:52 AM, 0.4 miles from the trailhead, while he later claimed to be home all morning.
    - Investigators found a second thread when Russell’s name appeared on service invoices tied to Sandra Colm, whose remains were found eleven miles north five days later.

  • The interior hasp latched from inside - the glove that proved abduction

    The interior hasp latched from inside - the glove that proved abduction
    2026/09/08
    A woman’s red glove is found in a padlocked shed-could a routine Tuesday have been the clue an abductor needed?

    The interior hasp latched from inside - the glove that proved abduction

    In this episode, we walk through the morning discoveries that shifted a missing-person case into something stranger: an interior hasp engaged from inside a sealed shed and a lone red glove tied to a woman who never missed her weekly diner routine. How did those details point toward someone watching a specific Tuesday morning?

    Person: Rebecca Burns
    Date: January 8 (disappearance); January 11 (glove found); January 14 (body recovered)
    Location: Patsy's Diner booth three; St. Agatha's storage shed; Kettner Road, Harlow County
    Object: single red leather glove, size small
    Person: John Dempsey

    - Rebecca Burns sat in the same booth at Patsy's Diner every Tuesday at 7:15 for six years and missed the January 8 morning for the first time.
    - A volunteer, Ryan McCarthy, broke the outer padlock of St. Agatha's shed on January 11 and found the interior hasp engaged from the inside in a windowless, sealed building.
    - The red leather glove on the center shelf was identified by colleague Sandra Pulaski as Rebecca’s glove from the previous week.
    - John Dempsey, a propane driver rehired as seasonal fill-in, had December delivery log entries placing him on Kettner Road before he was officially assigned there.
    - Detective Russell Webb matched Dempsey’s December route overlap to Rebecca’s Tuesday path, and then discovered the shed’s locked geometry and the glove that preceded other investigative steps.

    The Mug in the Car Pointed at the Wrong Man

    This episode explores the murder of Mara Odom in Dellard, Ohio, and how a misplaced object and a mistranslated statement nearly led to the conviction of an innocent man. How did a small detail in a police interview become the foundation of a prosecution?

    Person: Mara Odom
    Date: October 3, 2011
    Location: Dellard, Ohio
    Event: Murder investigation
    Status: Case review

    - Mara Odom, a 34-year-old immigrant from Sarajevo, worked part-time and volunteered at an ESL program in Dellard, Ohio.
    - Three days before her death, Mara verbally reported to her supervisor, Stanley Sheridan, that maintenance contractor Brian Lewis was routing invoices incorrectly.
    - On the night of Mara's death, Brian Lewis's access badge registered an entry at the building's east service door at 11:42 PM, despite his credential being for daytime hours.
    - A ceramic mug with Mara's name, found in Stanley Sheridan's locked car at an impound lot, was logged as evidence against him.
    - A paralegal investigator, Terry Bauer, discovered a critical mistranslation in a police interview transcript that read "I left her there."
