    Nov 20 2024

    A teen borrows his brother's sports car to take his date to the school dance in 1977. After dropping her off, both he and his brother's sports car disappear forever. Did Jerry suffer a tragic accident and drive his car into a body of water, or was he the victim of a racially motivated hate crime on those back roads of rural Mississippi?
    Even all of these years later, people are still terrified to talk about the case and clues point to cover ups and corruption.

    A real estate agent is lured to a home with a potential buyer, only to be brutally murdered. This episode discusses the dangers often not discussed around working as a real estate professional and how this has changed over time.

    Huge thank you to my friend Julia who gave first-hand insight into her perspective as a real estate agent herself.

  • The Murder of Sister Robin Elam
    Nov 4 2024

    Send us a text

    A woman is about to make her final vows as a nun and is taking part in a spiritual retreat on Convent grounds to pray about her decision. One morning, she grabbed an apple and her Bible and walked up a hill less than 100 yards away from the Retreat House to sit on a bench and pray. Just hours later, her lifeless body would be discovered 40 feet away from that overturned bench. The brutal sexual assault and murder of a nun in a sacred religious space would spark fear and outrage. Nearly 50 years have passed, but thanks to carefully preserved DNA evidence, her case may finally soon get answers.
