5 NOV 2026 · In June 2023, a group of recent Ohio high school graduates traveled 500 miles to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to celebrate. One morning, a terrified friend called 911 from their rented condo. Eighteen-year-old Natalie Martin, a preschool teacher who loved hunting and fishing and had a reputation for fearlessness, was lying on the floor of a bedroom locked from the inside.
Her ex-boyfriend, Blake, was beside her, and he confessed at the scene. Behind the picture-perfect image of a high school couple, friends described a pattern of control. He went through her phone, tracked who she spoke to, and became jealous over innocent conversations. After he shoved Natalie in front of others that spring, she ended the relationship. A month later, he sent her a text threatening to hurt any man she dated. Natalie stood her ground, and went on the trip anyway. That night, according to the case, a message from another man on her phone set him off.
Despite the confession, the court allowed him to go home to Ohio on bond, and Natalie’s father waited 635 days for justice. In March 2025, Blake pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 45 years in prison without parole. This episode follows Natalie’s life, the warning signs her friends and family saw, the night itself, and the long fight for a sentence.

5 NOV 2026 · In August 2017, a Costa Rican television personality, her boyfriend and her 17-year-old brother left home in a luxury BMW worth about $150,000. A short time later, all three smartphones went offline at virtually the same moment. The car vanished. There was no ransom demand, no phone call and no sign of a struggle.
Two of them were found dead on a remote riverbank, and the teenager wasn’t found for another week. Traffic cameras showed a stranger driving the BMW at dawn, followed closely by a dark SUV. The car had no visible damage, and there were no skid marks or broken glass on the road. That meant the victims had stopped willingly, for someone they had no reason to fear. Investigators believed the case came down to a hidden fortune. According to reports, the boyfriend had come into a large amount of cash and illegal goods belonging to someone else. A trusted associate allegedly gave away his routines.
That man was shot dead before police could question him. The trail then led to a group of current and former police officers who had made the attack look like a routine stop. Three men were convicted in 2020 and sentenced to between 65 and 80 years, and a fourth was acquitted. This episode follows the case minute by minute, from the missing phones and the BMW on camera to the arrests and the trial.

This episode follows Jody’s life, her relationship with Neil, the warning signs, the investigation, and how the case was resolved.

4 NOV 2026 · On a Sunday morning in April 2010, 25-year-old Heidi Fergus called 911 from her home in St. Paul, Minnesota. She said someone was trying to get in. About 35 seconds into the call, there was a scream and a loud blast, and the line went dead. Her husband, Nick, told police an intruder had grabbed his shotgun and shot them both. No one saw a man arrive or leave. What almost no one knew was that the house had been sold at a sheriff’s auction nearly a year earlier, and a deputy was due to lock the couple out at noon the next day. Prosecutors said Nick had hidden the foreclosure from his wife, his church and their friends behind a stream of small lies, and that the shooting came when the deadline could no longer be avoided.
It took eleven years to bring a charge. In 2023, a jury convicted Nick Fergus of first-degree murder after about four hours, and he was sentenced to life without release. In 2026, the Minnesota Supreme Court upheld the verdict, but the chief justice dissented, saying the evidence left room for doubt. Nick has always maintained his innocence.
This episode follows Heidi’s life, the financial collapse behind the scenes, what the evidence shows and doesn’t show, and the two families still living with the outcome.

3 NOV 2026 · Crystal Kenny was a fiercely protective mother of three from Highland City, Florida. She had raised two children on her own, waited a year before introducing her future husband to them, and met him through church. She believed she was finally building a stable family. On Monday night, December 22, 2025, three days before Christmas, an argument over the living room television turned deadly. Crystal told her 12-year-old son to run to the neighbors and call 911. Moments later, her husband, Jason Kenny, shot and killed her. He then shot her 13-year-old daughter, who survived. The family’s one-year-old was found asleep and unharmed. Jason drove away and later took his own life, so there will never be a trial.
Investigators found a handwritten note Crystal had left for him, saying he was drinking and using cocaine again, and that he needed God. Relatives said he had been physically abusive, though the sheriff’s office had never received a domestic violence call from the home. Sheriff Grady Judd called the girl’s survival a “Christmas miracle.” This episode follows Crystal’s life, the warning signs, the night itself, and what the evidence can and can’t tell us.

3 NOV 2026 · In a small farming town in Argentina’s Entre Ríos Province, everyone seemed to know everyone, and Diana’s life looked flawless. At twenty-two, she had a professional certification, a loving family, and an open relationship with a young man who seemed the perfect match for her future. Then, on a Friday evening in October 2025, she posted a single cryptic line online, took the car keys, and walked out the door.
Two days later, her car was found on a deserted dirt road. The doors were unlocked and the keys were still in the ignition, but Diana was nowhere to be seen. Her phone had gone dark. A duplicate SIM card opened her call records and exposed a secret relationship with an older, married neighbor, a hidden life even her family knew nothing about. What followed was an armed standoff, a town-wide search broadcast live on local TV, and a discovery that no one in the community was prepared for.
This is a story of secrecy, jealousy, and the quiet danger of the things we keep hidden. The case is still moving through the courts, and no verdict has been announced. Listen to the full investigation.

2 NOV 2026 · February 2005, Texas. An Air Force sergeant vanishes without a trace, one day before a long-awaited flight to meet his family in Maine. His wife, a successful young veterinarian from a wealthy, well-connected local family, tells police the answer is simple: he was afraid of going back to war, so he deserted. It sounds like an ordinary marriage falling apart.
But the missing man is a serviceman, and that changes everything. An elite team from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations takes over, armed with surveillance tools local police couldn’t use. A tracking dot leads to a secluded pond. A deleted browser history raises a chilling question. And a family meeting at a cemetery produces a confession nobody expected.
What do the divers find beneath the freezing water? And what do the autopsy and a falsified medication log reveal about what really happened inside that apartment?
A true story of lies, planning, and greed. Listen to the end.

2 NOV 2026 · On New Year’s Eve, 2009, a nine-year-old girl found her mother, Shele Danishefsky Kolkin, in a bathtub in their Upper West Side apartment. Shele was a 47-year-old senior vice president at UBS who had built a career on trust and a fortune of several million dollars. Her husband, Rod, lived across the hall. He told police she must have slipped and hit a bathroom cabinet. Her death was recorded as undetermined, and she was buried within days. But her family wouldn’t let it end. Despite their religious objections to an autopsy, they pushed to have her grave opened.
The examination found a fractured hyoid bone in her neck, and her death was reclassified as a homicide. What followed was a six-year investigation and a bitter war over custody, the estate and the children’s inheritance. Prosecutors said Shele was about to change her will, cutting off Rod’s access to her money. In 2019, a jury convicted Rod Kolkin of second-degree murder, and he was sentenced to 25 years to life. The conviction was upheld on appeal, and he has always maintained his innocence. A federal petition is still pending.
This episode follows Shele’s life, the marriage that fell apart, the evidence, and the family that remains divided. Content note: This episode discusses the death of a mother and a legal fight over her children. Listener discretion is advised.

1 NOV 2026 · In February 2007, Tara Grant, a 34-year-old business executive and mother of two from suburban Michigan, flew home from work in Puerto Rico. She was never seen alive again. Five days later, her husband, Steven Grant, reported her missing. He said she had walked out after an argument and gotten into a dark car. Then he went on Detroit television, gave interviews, and called reporters to ask how he looked on camera. Detectives were checking his story. The phone call he described didn’t appear in the records, Tara’s flight left without her, and a plastic bag found in a snowy park held human blood and metal shavings consistent with a machine shop, like the one Steven worked in.
When investigators arrived at the family home with a search warrant, Steven was gone. A statewide manhunt ended in a frozen forest, where he asked for a detective and confessed. Behind the story were an affair with the family’s au pair, years of resentment, and two young children who later revealed they had seen what happened. A jury convicted Steven of second-degree murder, and he was sentenced to 50 to 80 years in prison. The appeals failed, and Tara’s family, now raising her children, has turned her name into a fundraiser for survivors of domestic violence.
This episode follows Tara’s life, the investigation that dismantled a carefully told story, and the family that rebuilt afterward. Content note:
This episode discusses a killing witnessed by children and the concealment of a body. Listener discretion is advised.

1 NOV 2026 · Ellie Butler was a happy, bubbly six-year-old who had spent five years in the safe, loving care of her grandparents. Her father, Ben Butler, had once been convicted over injuries she suffered as a baby. That conviction was later overturned on appeal, and the family began a public campaign to get Ellie back. In 2012, a High Court judge cleared Butler and ordered Ellie returned to her parents.
The local council had warned of the danger, and her grandfather told the court the judge would have blood on her hands. Ellie herself had asked to speak to the judge. Her request was refused. Eleven months later, Ellie was dead. Prosecutors said Ben Butler beat her to death, and that her mother, Jennifer Gray, spent two hours helping to stage the scene before calling 999. Months earlier, Jenny had searched online for magic spells to make her abuser stop hurting her. She had also texted him that she would die for him.
Butler was convicted of murder and sentenced to life with a minimum of 23 years. Gray was convicted of child cruelty and perverting the course of justice. This episode follows Ellie’s short life, the abusive relationship her mother couldn’t leave, the court decision that sent her home, and the questions it left behind. Content note:
