Bianca Devins’ name became a headline after images of her violent murder spread online. This episode focuses on the person behind the posts, the escalation that led to tragedy, and how platforms, press, and strangers responded in real time. We examine how attention and algorithms amplified harm, the grief for her family, and the trust of an entire community.

A late flight, a Lyft to Hatch Park, an online meetup... then silence.

After a late flight into Salt Lake City, Mackenzie Lueck messages that she has landed and takes a Lyft to Hatch Park in North Salt Lake to meet someone she knew online. Minutes after the drop-off, her phone activity stops.

This episode reconstructs the overnight timeline—texts, rideshare data, airport and neighborhood cameras—and follows detectives as they trace an online connection to Ayoola Ajayi. We cover the search, the purchase records, the backyard burn that drew attention, and the evidence that led to an arrest, told with care for Mackenzie and her family.

A survivor speaks, and the friends of a missing woman refuse to let the trail go cold.

This episode follows a verified New Jersey case where posts, check ins, and dating-app activity form a pattern. The friends of Sarah Butler screenshot profiles, match usernames, compare places and times, and pass everything to detectives. Alongside survivor Tiffany Taylor's account, a community effort turns a social feed into evidence and helps expose Khalil Wheeler-Weaver. The sound places you beside the late-night phones and the moments when the clues line up.
