In April 2006, six members of the Wise family suddenly went silent. The family patriarch, Jesse Lee Wise, Sr., who was on a business trip, knew that something must be wrong when his wife, Emily Wise, wasn’t answering his calls. The only person in their household of eight who answered his calls was his grandson, Jesse Dee Wise.

It’s my birthday! Since this episode comes out on my birthday, I wanted to do something fun, so I’ve collected some cases where burglars and stalkers were caught in the craziest ways. From getting stuck at the crime scene to having their crime in the background of a TikTok, these criminals had major oopsies that got them caught redhanded.

Back in 1926, south Texas was still the wild west, and Dr. J.A. Ramsey was a prominent citizen of Mathis, Texas. After a late night call to a patient’s bedside, Dr. Ramsey disappeared. Soon, Harry Leahy, another promising citizen of Mathis approached Dr. Ramsey’s wife, trying to claim the reward for his return. Only, he couldn’t return Dr. Ramsey alive.

This case has cowboys, an elaborate plan, rumored hitmen, Ma Ferguson again, Texas Rangers, a whole bunch of corruption, two rich widows, a victim that lit up the ranch with his wonderful personality, a dumbass criminal, and a whole bunch of side crimes. We’re starting 2026 with a bang!
