In part one of this two-part episode, we dive into the baffling disappearance of the Springfield Three. In June 1992, Suzanne Streeter, her friend Stacy McCall, and Suzanne’s mother, Sherill Levitt, mysteriously vanished in the early morning hours—leaving behind a home that showed almost no signs of a struggle. Still, several odd details inside the house left investigators and the community puzzled.

Despite decades of searches and countless theories, no definitive evidence has ever surfaced and the case remains unsolved. In part one of our discussion, we break down the timeline of that fateful night the three women disappeared and examine the early leads that leave even more questions than answers.

Anyone with information about the disappearance of Sherill Levitt, Suzie Streeter, and Stacy McCall is asked to contact the Springfield Police Department at (417) 864-1810 or Crime Stoppers at (417) 869-TIPS.

CRIME FAMILY is back!

In our first episode of season seven, we explore the shocking and deeply disputed 2011 death of 27-year-old Philadelphia teacher Ellen Greenberg, who was found in her locked apartment with 20 stab wounds — yet her death was ultimately ruled a suicide. We walk through the chilling scene, the conflicting autopsy results, and the forensic evidence that has baffled experts and fueled public debate for more than a decade.

From the bruises on Ellen’s body to the wounds in areas she shouldn’t have been able to reach, and her parents’ relentless legal battle for answers, we examine the troubling questions that remain. Was this truly self-inflicted — or has a homicide been overlooked?

If you or someone you know is struggling, you’re not alone—help is always available.

In the U.S. and Canada, you can call or text 988 to reach the National Suicide and Crisis Helpline. Support is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

What’s in a name? For Thomas James, his name was his downfall. A combination of bad luck, bad police work, and a bad reputation landed Thomas in jail for over 30 years for the murder of Francis McKinnon. What seemed like an open and shut case proved to be a tragic miscarriage of justice, punishing an innocent man and letting a guilty one run free.

On May 6, 2020 in the small town of Truro, Nova Scotia, a normal spring afternoon turned into a nightmare when three-year-old Dylan Ehler vanished without a trace. One moment, he was playing in his grandmother’s backyard — the next, he was gone. Within minutes, a frantic search began, and by the end of the day, only two small rubber boots were found near a fast-moving brook.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the disappearance of Dylan Ehler — a case that has haunted his family and baffled investigators for five years. We walk through the timeline of that day, examine the search efforts, and explore the controversial theories that have emerged: Was Dylan swept away by the current, or could foul play have been involved?

We also unpack the ripple effects this tragedy had on the Ehler family, from their battle with online harassment to their push for legislative change with "Dylan’s Law." Join us as we piece together the heartbreaking story of a little boy who vanished in seconds — and a family still searching for answers.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Truro Police Service at 902-895-5351.

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 behind bars.

The book examines Knox’s reckoning with justice, guilt, and forgiveness—and what her story reveals about the global true crime obsession. Ultimately, Amanda finally reclaims her own narrative and learns what “freedom” really means after years of being defined by others, so join us as we dive into all of it!

The memoir "Free: My Search for Meaning" by Amanda Knox is now available wherever you buy books.

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 actually her or not.

In this episode, we revisit the key details of Kimberly’s last known movements, the theories that have surfaced over the years, and the unanswered questions that still remain.

Any person with information regarding the disappearance of Kimberly Ann McAndrew should call the Rewards for Major Unsolved Crimes Program at 1-888-710-9090, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
