    Michelle and Jason Young - Part 1
    2025/07/07
    When 29-year-old Michelle Young was found dead in her Raleigh, North Carolina home, the discovery sent shockwaves through her family, her circle of friends, and the community. Michelle was married, the mother of a toddler, and expecting her second child. She was beautiful, bright, and driven; by all accounts, a woman with so much ahead of her. Michelle’s brutal murder baffled the quiet suburban neighborhood and prompted a frustrating investigation that would grow increasingly complicated by the lack of cooperation from Michelle’s husband. Her marriage to 32-year-old Jason Young had been troubled from the beginning, but at the time of her death, he was reportedly hundreds of miles away on a business trip. As detectives began piecing together the timeline, unsettling questions began to surface. Who would do this to a young mother in her own home? Could it have been a random act of violence, or was the truth far closer to home? The investigation uncovered complicated relationships, emotional wounds, and evidence that raised more questions than answers. In this episode, we explore the case that shook Raleigh and pushed the justice system to its limits before any sense of resolution was found.

  • Dolly and Fred Oesterreich

    Dolly and Fred Oesterreich
    2025/07/04
    The Dolly Oesterreich case is one of the most bizarre and sensational true crime stories of the early 20th century. Walburga “Dolly” Oesterreich was a Milwaukee housewife married to a wealthy textile manufacturer, Fred Oesterreich. On the surface, she appeared to live a conventional life, but behind closed doors, her world was anything but ordinary. Dolly had a complicated personal life that eventually led to a shocking crime. The investigation that followed revealed a tangled web of secrets, deception, and relationships that defied social norms and legal boundaries. What began as a puzzling death soon unraveled into a story so strange that even seasoned detectives struggled to believe it.

    When Susan Kuhnhausen came home from work on a September evening in 2006, she noticed something felt…off. Minutes later, a man charged at her from the shadows with a hammer in hand. What followed was a shocking and harrowing fight for survival—and an investigation that uncovered a dark and twisted plot involving betrayal, manipulation, and a hitman with a violent past. This week, we tell the story of Susan and Michael Kuhnhausen, a case that forces us to ask: how well can you ever really know the person you married?

    Susan and David Hendricks - Part 2
    2025/06/23
    On the night of November 8, 1983, David Hendricks returned home from a business trip to find his wife, Susan, and their three young children brutally murdered in their beds. They had been killed with an axe and a butcher knife—both from the family home. Investigators quickly turned their focus to David. There were no signs of forced entry, the burglary attempt seemed staged, and there were no other viable suspects. It was called the “cleanest bloody crime scene”. David’s unemotional demeanor, strange midnight business trip, and seemingly rehearsed account raised suspicions, and the coroner’s estimate of the time of death—based on the children’s stomach contents—suggested the murders occurred before David left for his trip. Prosecutors theorized he was growing restless in his strict religious life and may have killed his family to escape it. Did David Hendricks kill his family or was it an intruder?

    Content warning: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence, mental illness, suicide, and graphic violence that may be disturbing to some listeners. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

    Katherine Knight was known in her small Australian town in New South Wales, Aberdeen, as tough, unpredictable, and deeply troubled. She had a history of violent relationships, a fierce temper, and a dark past that few dared to challenge. When she entered a new relationship in the late 1990s, friends and family were concerned—but no one could have predicted how it would end. In this episode, we explore the life of Katherine Knight, the red flags that were ignored, and the events that led to one of the most infamous criminal cases in Australian history.

    Bonus episode: Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia Decker
    2025/06/08
    On Friday, May 30 2025, Travis Decker failed to return his three daughters—Paityn (9), Evelyn (8), and Olivia (5) after a court-ordered visit in Wenatchee, Washington. Days later, their bodies were found at a remote campground.

    Decker, a 32-year-old Army veteran with PTSD and BPD, vanished. He’s now wanted for three counts of first-degree murder and kidnapping. A nationwide manhunt is underway, with help from the FBI and U.S. Marshals. Authorities believe he may be using his military training to survive on the Pacific Crest Trail.

    Gail and George Fulton - Part 2
    2025/06/02
    In October 1999, 48-year-old librarian Gail Fulton was shot and killed outside the Lake Orion, Michigan library where she worked. What initially appeared to be a cold-blooded, random attack soon revealed itself as something far more personal—and far more calculated.

    At the center of the case: a crumbling marriage, a secret affair, and a woman named Donna Trapani who refused to be cast aside. The investigation uncovered a disturbing murder-for-hire plot involving a fake pregnancy, a forged suicide note, and three willing accomplices, all wrapped up in obsession, manipulation, and delusion.

    The story spans two years of emotional unraveling, culminating in a fatal encounter that shattered a family. This case raises complex questions about accountability, denial, and the consequences of ignoring red flags.
