David Sconce was more than just a mortician—he was the heir to the respected California Lamb Funeral Home. But behind the chapel doors, something dark was burning.

What began as whispers of cremation fraud soon erupted into one of the most disturbing true crime cases in funeral industry history—complete with black market body parts, overloaded ovens, and an attempted murder-for-hire plot that nearly went unnoticed.

In 1994, a relaxing fishing trip on the Zambezi River turned into a brutal fight for survival when a hippo attacked a family boat, flipping it in crocodile-infested waters. One man, safari guide Alistair Gellatly, was dragged under by a crocodile and nearly killed. After escaping the predator’s jaws, he collapsed on the riverbank. His companions were trapped on a sandbar, mid-river. Both groups were surrounded by top predators. This is their story.

What if a six-figure job offer—complete with global travel, a private yacht, and promises of a fresh start—was actually a trap laid by a serial killer? John Edward Robinson is one of America’s most manipulative predators—and the internet’s first known serial killer. He lured women with ads for personal assistants and BDSM relationships. What they got was a one-way trip to a motel room… and a 55-gallon barrel.

She went overboard. He came back soaking wet and speechless. And by morning, the lake was swarming with deputies and dive teams.

Tom Rhodes was convicted of murdering his wife on a moonlit boat ride in Minnesota. The bruises, the body, the suspicious behavior… it all seemed to add up but 25 years later, the science that helped lock him away fell apart under scrutiny.

Was it a cold-blooded killing disguised as a drowning—or a tragic accident twisted into a crime by bad forensics

They called it the Lover’s Chair—a windswept ledge perched high above the Hudson River. Locals said it was a place for connection, for reflection. For romance. But one September night in 1992, it became something else entirely. A man walked away from that cliffside claiming his wife had fallen. No one saw it happen. No one heard her scream. And for years, no one asked the right questions. But when they finally did, a very different story began to unfold.

For years, Kip and Patty Artz were a fixture in Jackson. Their restaurant, Kip’s Pizza Taco House, was a place where regulars never needed a menu and where the warmth of the owners made the food taste even better. Behind the friendly smiles, behind the smell of sizzling taco meat, something dark was simmering, because in 1999, Kip’s Pizza Taco House wouldn’t just serve food.

It would become the scene of one of Michigan’s most gruesome crimes.
