In November 1978, something went horribly wrong inside a Burger Chef in Speedway, Indiana. What started as a routine night quickly unraveled into one of the most haunting and baffling unsolved cases in the country.

In 1997, 26-year-old Kimberly Jo Medlin vanished from her North Carolina community—leaving behind a trail of questions no one was prepared to answer.

Five-year-old Summer Wells vanished from her Tennessee home in broad daylight. We look past the headlines and the noise to focus on the minutes that changed everything.

On a chilly April morning in 1981, the peaceful mountain resort of Keddie, California, was shattered. When 14-year-old Sheila Sharp returned home to Cabin 28, she didn’t find her family waking up for breakfast. Instead, she walked into a living nightmare: a scene of surgical brutality, bound victims, and a floor stained with a violence the Sierra Nevada woods had never seen.

But the horror was only the beginning.

In this episode of Hooked on Homicide, we aren't just looking at the "what"—we’re dissecting the "how" and the "why." How does a triple homicide occur while three young boys sleep undisturbed in the next room? Why did a critical confession letter sit in a police file for decades? And where did 12-year-old Tina Sharp go?

We’re diving deep into the intersection of forensic failure and small-town corruption, covering:

• The Evidence: The mystery of the "missing" blue claw hammer and the forensic blunders that contaminated the scene from hour one.
• The Cover-Up: The suspicious ties between lead investigators and the primary suspects, Marty Smartt and Bo Boubede.
• The Lost Audio: The chilling 1984 anonymous tip that identified a victim years before the police—only to be "misplaced" for over three decades.

The cabin has been torn down, but the secrets are still buried in the soil of Plumas County. Join us as we sift through the wreckage of an investigation that was dead on arrival.
