    Mother BRUTALLY Kills Pregnant Daughter then Steals her Baby?! | WHERE is Rebecca Park's Baby?
    Dec 4 2025
    There are cases that shake a community, and then there are cases like this—where a 38-week-pregnant young mother vanishes, her body is later found in the forest, and her unborn baby is simply… gone. In this episode, we dive into the unfolding story of 22-year-old Rebecca Kay Park from Wexford County, Michigan—a full-term mom-to-be whose phone was tossed, and whose inner circle included a fiancé with a violent sexual history, a sister now accused of lying to investigators, and a biological mother and stepfather newly charged with her torture and murder. With court documents alleging a “frankly evil” premeditated attack and a community demanding answers, we walk through the chaotic timeline, the arrests, the search warrants, and the online interference to ask: what really happened to Rebecca—and where is her baby boy?

  • Utah Dad Charged with Torture after Hike from Hell | Micah Smith Full Story

    Utah Dad Charged with Torture after Hike from Hell | Micah Smith Full Story
    Dec 3 2025
    A father sets out for what should have been a simple family hike—three kids, a familiar canyon, a day in the mountains. But by nightfall, it had spiraled into a near-fatal ordeal that left two young children fighting for their lives and investigators questioning everything about his decisions. Text messages, photos, and heartbreaking statements from the children now paint a picture far more disturbing than a tragic accident. Was this adventure gone wrong… or reckless endangerment that crossed into something darker?

INCREDIBLY Eye Opening

The problem of #toxicmasculinity needs to be addressed. During a livestream (podcast) discussing Depp v Heard, numerous times an abuse survivor would state that Heard's words and actions reminded her of her exboyfriend's or exhusband's abuse and tactics. These women clearly expressed that Amber Heard was the perpetrator of the abuse. Doc John dismissed these women. That is toxic. That mansplaining to victims that they were wrong. The point of the TrueCrime community is to crowdsource Justice and Truth. The distribution of abuse survivors in the TrueCrime community is certainly higher than that of the general population. You cannot dismiss the experience and perceptions of our community of survivors. Their truth is our greatest resource. No degree or clinical experience trumps that truth. Listen better. Be better. Less hubris. Less harm. #credibility
