An heiress from Duluth.

A trail of fires stretching from Minnesota to the Mexican border.

And a quiet little mining town in Arizona… that never saw her coming.

Marjorie Congdon Caldwell Hagen carried wealth, suspicion, and misery wherever she went.

Her tale is part true crime… and part ghost story that still haunts this desert town.

For this special episode, we’re going local, and recording live from ground zero — Ajo, AZ, AND we’re teaming up with Z89.3 KZAO’s own Bo Johnson to tell the story of Marjorie Hagen — the “Black Widow of Ajo.”

Port Clinton, Ohio. December 2019.

A 14-year-old boy leaves home on a Friday morning and walks to school like he always did. Except this day, Harley Dilly never makes it there.

For weeks, the town searches. Streets, water, woods — every place a kid could disappear into.

Until the answer turns up in the last place anyone could ever imagine.

🖤🧱🖤

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. 2015.

A family inside a quiet suburban home —

a mother.

a father.

and their seven kids.

And then, in the middle of the night…something breaks.

A 911 call.

And a crime scene so brutal it forces the question nobody wants to ask out loud:

How does a family implode from the inside?

A young American YouTuber builds a life in a remote town in the southern Philippines.

Then armed men—posing as police—drag him from his home and force him onto a boat headed out to sea.

No proof of life. No body. Tons of questions.

They thought it was just a drive.

One friend in the backseat.

One boyfriend riding shotgun.

And a teenage girl behind the wheel.

But what happened next wasn’t an accident.

It was a decision.

And once the car hit 100 miles per hour…

there was no turning back.

High above the clouds, where the air is thin and rescue is nearly impossible…

a climber makes history.

But on the way down, something goes terribly wrong. And the world’s tallest mountain becomes her final resting place.

April 1968. Memphis, Tennessee.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. comes to stand with striking sanitation workers — exhausted, under surveillance, and living with constant threats.

Then, outside Room 306 at the Lorraine Motel, a single gunshot silences one of America’s most important voices.

What follows is chaos: a manhunt, a case full of contradictions, and questions that never stopped.

This is the story of the assassination of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In August 2016, a family of five left their redcurrant farm in Silvan, Victoria — driving north with a wad of cash, while their phones and bank cards stayed behind.

Over the next few days, they fractured across New South Wales and Victoria, turning up one by one — distressed, disoriented, and convinced they were being followed.

No kidnappers. No robbery. No clear “why.”

Just a family that seemed to collectively slip out of reality…in broad daylight.
