  • Sleeping With The Enemy: The Laurie Kellogg Story
    Jul 15 2025
    Laurie Kellogg was just 16 when she met a man more than twice her age — a man who would later become her husband. To some, it looked like a scandal from the start. But no one could have predicted how it would end: with a gunshot in the middle of the night... and a group of teenagers caught in the middle of a murder plot. Was Laurie Kellogg a calculating instigator? Or was she a teenager trapped in a life she couldn’t escape? What really happened behind closed doors — and who should be held responsible?

  • Two Thorned Rose: The Case of Matthew Trussler and Melissa Turner
    Jul 8 2025

    Melissa Turner, a former cosplay model from Riverview, Florida, called 911 on October 18, 2019, reporting that she had found her fiancé, Matthew Trussler, unresponsive and covered in blood on their patio. Initially telling police she didn’t know what had happened, Turner later stated that Matthew had attacked her during a drunken altercation and that she acted in self-defense. However, investigators uncovered home surveillance footage capturing the sounds of a heated argument hours earlier, during which a woman's voice—believed to be Turner’s—could be heard shouting angrily. Authorities also noted delays in seeking help and inconsistencies in her statements.

  • Buried Secrets: Peggy Carothers
    Jul 1 2025

    In this episode, we tell the heartbreaking story of Peggy Carothers, a 15-year-old girl from Hammond, Indiana, who vanished without a trace in May of 1997. Raised in a tight-knit family of six children, Peggy was bright, funny, and full of life. Her best friend remembers the two of them dancing and singing Alanis Morissette songs, dreaming about the future like any teenage girls would.

    But everything changed on a sunny school day when Peggy didn’t come home. Rumors swirled. Friends revealed a secret Peggy had been hiding—one that pointed to a boy she thought she loved. Weeks passed with no answers… until two teens stumbled on a shallow grave in a wooded area known as Higgins Woods.

    What followed was a chilling investigation built entirely on whispers, secrets, and circumstantial evidence—leading to a shocking arrest, and a trial that exposed a carefully hidden truth. In the end, Peggy’s story is one of innocence lost, justice fought for, and a small town forever changed.

  • Stolen Dreams: Debbie Flores Narvaez
    Jun 17 2025

    Debbie Flores Narvaez was brilliant, determined, and on the verge of a dream come true — her debut in one of Las Vegas's most coveted burlesque shows, Fantasy at the Luxor. But the night before she was set to take the stage, Debbie vanished without a trace.

    As the days pass, a tangled web of toxic relationships, jealous exes, and disturbing secrets emerges. Investigators dig into her past, but it's a tip from an ex-girlfriend — and a chilling confession from a roommate — that finally blows the case open.

    In this episode, we trace the rise and horrifying fall of a dancer who gave everything to the spotlight… and lost her life in the shadows.

  • She Deserved Her Fairy-Tale Ending: Simonette Mapes
    Jun 10 2025

    Simeonette Mapes-Crupi was a beloved high school history teacher in Brooklyn, known for her compassion, generosity, and fierce dedication to her students. Nicknamed “Mommy Mapes,” she went above and beyond to support the teens she taught, often dipping into her own pocket to cover their graduation costs or prom dresses. She lived a life grounded in kindness, faith, and hope — one she shared with her husband, a fellow teacher, as they planned for their future and celebrated annual trips to Disney. But in the summer of 2012, just days before their fifth wedding anniversary, that hopeful future came to a sudden, violent end.

    On the afternoon of July 5, 2012, Simeonette was found brutally murdered in her Staten Island home. The scene suggested a robbery, but detectives quickly noticed inconsistencies that hinted at something more personal — more deliberate. As the investigation unfolded, secrets began to surface: about the marriage, about hidden relationships, and about the final hours of Simeonette’s life. The deeper authorities dug, the more tangled the truth became — and the more haunting the question lingered: Who would want to kill Simeonette Mapes, and why?
