Approx Timestamps:(4:57) - Sam Wood Update(6:42) - Dan MarkelOn July 18, 2014, 41-year-old law professor Dan Markel was sitting in his car in the garage of his Tallahassee, Florida, home when a gunman approached and shot him. Dan had recently been through a bitter divorce from his wife, Wendi Adelson, and was locked in a contentious custody battle over their two young sons. He would die the following day, leaving his family devastated and investigators searching for answers. But what initially appeared to be a targeted shooting would eventually expose an alleged murder-for-hire conspiracy involving a hitman, a former girlfriend, a successful dentist, and a mother who prosecutors would accuse of helping orchestrate her former son-in-law's death.Prosecutors argued that Dan was murdered because he stood in the way of his children's relocation to South Florida, closer to his former wife's family. Over the next decade, investigators would follow a trail of phone records, financial transactions, secret recordings, and testimony that led to five convictions. But one question would continue to haunt the case: how far did the conspiracy reach, and was everyone who knew something about Dan's murder ever held accountable?Links Read our blog for this case Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesociety Check out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesociety Follow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesociety This episode is sponsored by: Nutrafol - Nutrafol is the #1 dermatologist- recommended hair growth supplement brand AND it’s the #1 hair growth supplement brand personally used by dermatologists.  Right now, Nutrafol is offering our listeners $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you visit Nutrafol.com and enter promo code TCS.

In 2015, Australians watched a Melbourne personal trainer search for love on national television on ‘The Bachelor’. By the end of the season, he had chosen a single mother from Western Australia, and the pair appeared to have found something that reality television rarely delivers: a lasting relationship.That man was Sam Wood. The woman he chose was Snezana Markoski, now known as Snezana Wood.They went on to marry, raise a family together and build a public profile that extended well beyond reality television.Sam became known as a fitness entrepreneur, while Snezana developed her own public profile as a mother, businesswoman and social media personality. Their family life, their children and their relationship featured regularly in the content they shared with followers.But in October 2026, that public image was thrown into uncertainty when Sam was charged with domestic violence offences following a police investigation in Noosa, Queensland.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the downfall of ‘The Bachelor’ Sam Wood.Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesociety.com/2026/10/18/the-downfall-of-the-bachelor-sam-wood/Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyCheck out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesocietyFollow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesocietyThis episode is sponsored by: Lola Blankets - The softest season is here and Lola Blankets just dropped their fallcollection, The Westward Collection.

Timestamps: (4:18) - Christa Pike Updates (15:00) - Caleb Flynn On February 16, 2026, Ohio pastor and former American Idol contestant Caleb Flynn called 911 and reported that his wife, Ashley, had been shot inside their home. Investigators would later question the account of an intruder, and their case against Caleb would increasingly focus on something far less tangible than fingerprints or a recovered weapon: thousands upon thousands of text messages between Caleb and the woman he was having an affair with.Over the course of their relationship, Caleb Flynn and Alleigha Botner exchanged more than 100,000 messages. Some discussed their future together, some detailed his frustration with his marriage, and others contained deeply disturbing references to Ashley. Then, just hours before Ashley was killed, Caleb sent messages saying, “I choose you,” “I’m about to be free,” and “Actions will come tomorrow.” There have also been some updates in a case we covered recently - the planned execution of Christa Pike.  Despite being given two doses of lethal drugs, Christa survived the execution attempt and is currently hospitalized.  Please note that this episode was recorded before we knew that Christa was conscious and talking.  We will discuss that update in our next episode. Read our blogs for these cases:https://truecrimesociety.com/2026/10/04/american-idol-contestant-caleb-flynn-found-guilty-of-the-murder-of-his-wife/https://truecrimesociety.com/2026/09/20/the-failed-execution-of-christa-pike/Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyCheck out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesocietyFollow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesocietyThis episode is sponsored by: Quince - Find the fall pieces you’ll reach for most at Quince.   Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers, or go to Quince.com.  Get free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

Timestamp to skip straight to the case: (7:11)A routine police encounter has opened the door to one of Philadelphia’s most disturbing investigations. Inside a home linked to filmmaker Raymond “R.C.” Horsch, investigators have uncovered more than a million photos and videos, disturbing material involving women, drugs, weapons and chemicals—and evidence that has now connected the property to seven missing women. With five of those women believed by investigators to appear in footage that may show them dead, authorities are trying to separate fact from fiction in a vast collection created by a man who spent decades making violent, graphic films. What really happened inside the Horsch home, and how many secrets are still buried there? Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesociety.com/2026/09/27/the-horsch-case-philadelphias-house-of-horrors/Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyCheck out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesocietyFollow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesociety

Approx Timestamps: (14:15) - Leila Cavett Update (16:30) - Lizzie Borden On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were found brutally murdered inside their home in Fall River, Massachusetts. Andrew, a wealthy businessman, had been hacked to death on the sitting-room sofa, while his wife Abby was discovered upstairs, having suffered multiple blows to the head. Suspicion quickly fell on Andrew’s 32-year-old daughter, Lizzie Borden, who lived in the house with her father and stepmother. Lizzie’s relationship with Abby was reportedly strained, and there had been increasing family tensions regarding finances and property.  Lizzie was arrested and charged with the murders, with prosecutors presenting a circumstantial case against her. She was famously accused of killing her father and stepmother with an axe, but after a highly publicised trial, the jury deliberated for just over an hour before finding her not guilty on both counts. More than 130 years later, the Borden murders remain one of America's most enduring unsolved mysteries.Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyCheck out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesocietyFollow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesocietyThis episode is sponsored by: Quince - Find the fall pieces you’ll reach for most at Quince.  Download the Quince app for app-exclusive offers, or go to Quince.com/tcs.  Get free shipping on your order and 365 day returns.  Now available in Canada and the UK, too.

Investigators say there were signs of a violent crime inside the house, and authorities believe Matthew fled the country before the bodies were discovered. As disturbing details emerge about changes in Matthew’s behavior in the years before the killings, investigators are now working across borders to find him.And in Ohio, 18-year-old Bryanna Dutcher is accused of helping orchestrate the shooting death of her mother, Tamela Dutcher (55). What initially appeared to be a home invasion quickly took a shocking turn when investigators say deleted text messages revealed discussions about killing Bryanna’s parents. Bryanna has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder, while her boyfriend Christian Evans and his roommate Dajameous Payne are also charged in Tamela’s death. Read our blog for these cases - https://truecrimesociety.com/2026/08/30/kids-who-kill-september-2026/Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyCheck out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesocietyFollow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesociety

Timestamps: (8:02) - Rex Heuermann Update (13:49) - Rachel Nickell In the summer of 1992, young mother Rachel Nickell (23) took her son Alex (2) to a London park to enjoy the sunshine.  Rachel was brutally attacked and left to die.  Alex was the only witness and was found clinging to her body.  This crime shocked Britain and sparked one of the most controversial investigations in modern criminal history. As public pressure mounted, police became fixated on a suspect and launched an unprecedented undercover "honeytrap" operation, only for the case to collapse spectacularly in court. The hunt for Rachel’s killer exposed serious flaws in police methods, fuelled years of media scrutiny, and ultimately led to a breakthrough that revealed a very different perpetrator—turning the Rachel Nickell case into a haunting story of tragedy, obsession, and justice delayed.  Read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2026/06/21/the-murder-of-rachel-nickell/Join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyCheck out our Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesocietyFollow our Facebook page for breaking news - Facebook.com/truecrimesocietyThis episode is sponsored by:DraftKings Casino - Download the DraftKings Casino app and sign up with code TCS to claim your Flex Spins and experience Cashingo - the feature you can’t play anywhere else!

Australian mother-of-four Tara Enoka created a YouTube channel in 2021 titled ‘Stand with Tara.’  She spoke about being diagnosed with cervical and breast cancer.   Fundraising efforts for Tara raised over $35,000 before her fraudulent scheme was uncovered.  Tara never had cancer. Australian mother Michelle Bodzsar developed a gambling addiction during the pandemic.  A few years later, after her young son suffered an eye injury during a trampoline accident, she saw an opportunity and ran with it.  Michelle faked a cancer diagnosis for her son - even shaving his eyebrows and his head to make her story believable.  Michelle has been jailed for her crimes.

Just let me know your symptoms and how intense the nausea is right now.”  Sam’s mother would find him dead in his bedroom hours later.In May 2026, Sam’s parents filed a lawsuit against OpenAI.  They allege wrongful death and the unauthorized practice of medicine.

Timestamp to skip the intro chat: (7:55)In April 2011, realtor Ashley Okland (27) was hosting an open house in West Des Moines, Iowa, when she was shot twice and killed. For more than a decade the case remained a cold mystery: there were no clear motives, no signs of robbery or struggle, and investigators followed nearly a thousand leads without identifying a suspect. In March 2026, nearly 15 years after the murder, authorities announced a breakthrough: Kristin Elizabeth Ramsey (53) was charged with first‑degree murder in the case. No clear motive has been made public.  Just a few years after Ashley’s death, another tragic realtor killing occurred in September 2014, when Beverly Carter (50)  disappeared while showing a property in Scott, Arkansas. Investigators soon learned that Beverly had been lured to the appointment under false pretenses by a suspect, Arron Michael Lewis, and his wife Crystal Lowery, who were attempting to execute a ransom plot. Beverly’s body was found buried in a shallow grave.  Arron would tell the media that he picked Beverly as a target because she was "a woman that worked alone — a rich broker."In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the separate cases of two murdered realtors - Ashley Okland and Beverly Carter.Read our blog for these cases - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2026/03/26/open-house-hidden-threats-the-murders-of-two-realtors/Remember to check the timestamp to get straight to the case.Be sure to join us on Patreon for weekly exclusive episodes and all episodes are ad-free - Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyJoin us on Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesocietyThis episode is sponsored by: Quince - Refresh your wardrobe with Quince.  Go to Quince.com/tcs to get free shipping on your order and 365-day returns Noom - Start your Microdose GLP-1 journey today at Noom.com

Skip straight to the case: (11:37)Welcome back to another episode of the True Crime Society Podcast.In this episode, we discuss two separate cases where missing people have been found ALIVE years after their disappearance, in crazy circumstances. In December 2001, North Carolina woman Michele Hundley Smith told her three children that she was going Christmas shopping.  She never returned.  Over the next two decades, Michele’s husband faced scrutiny and many wondered if he may have been involved in her disappearance.  In February 2026, Michele was found to be alive and living in a trailer park, two hours from the home of her family.  She asked that her location not be disclosed to them. Colorado attorney Royal ‘Scoop’ Daniel III went to the office of his law practice one morning in April 2007.  When other staff arrived, Scoop’s dog was left in the office alone and there was no sign of his owner.  An investigation into Scoop’s disappearance revealed that he was hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.  Scoop was found alive in 2011 when he attempted to cross from Mexico back into the US, using his own passport.  He was arrested and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Timestamp to skip the intro chat: (13:36)Folie à deux is a French term that means ‘madness of two’. It can also refer to a shared psychosis or a shared delusional disorder.In 2008, identical twins Ursula and Sabina Eriksson were acting erratically.  They had traveled to England from Sabina’s home in Ireland.  The sisters were asked to leave a bus that they had been traveling on as they were acting paranoid and would not let the driver search their belongings.  After they got off the bus, the sisters ran into oncoming traffic on a motorway.Ursula would be hospitalized for months, while Sabina was released soon after the event.  Sabina would wander the streets of Stoke on Trent in England, looking for her sister.  A man named Glenn Hollinshead took pity on Sabina and took her in.  Sabina would end up killing Glenn by stabbing him five times with a kitchen knife.  Neither sister has given any reason for their actions.We also discuss the strange case of the Tromp Family.  In 2016, Mark and Jacoba Tromp fled their home in Silvan, Australia, along with their three adult children Ella, Mitchell and Riana.  The family were convinced that people were after them and that they were being tracked by their devices.  One investigating police officer described this case as "the most bizarre case I've seen in 30 years".The family would all eventually be recovered safely, following a large-scale police investigation.  Mitchell Tromp would later say 'I've never seen anything like it. It's really hard to explain or put a word on it but they were just fearing for their lives and then they decided to flee. It was a build-up of different, normal, everyday events - just pressure - and it slowly got worse as the days went by."Read our blog for these cases - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2026/02/24/folie-a-deux-crimes-events-of-shared-psychosis/This episode is sponsored by:NOCD - If you’re struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.  Book a free 15 minute call to get startedJoin us on Patreon for exclusive weekly contentBe sure to follow us on Instagram for the latest crime news

Timestamp to skip the intro - (7:38)In October 2024, a 911 call was placed from the home of Tennessee woman Jessica Chandler. When authorities arrived, they found her two children, aged 4 and 1, unresponsive. Both children were declared dead at the scene.When authorities first investigated, it was determined that Jessica had likely poisoned her children before making a superficial attempt to take her own life. Authorities initially believed this as empty medication bottles were found at the scene. This case is unfolding in the courts at the moment and we have since learned that Jessica actually smothered her children with a Lilo and Stitch blanket.Lacey Spears lived an unusual and tumultuous life. Growing up, she told stories about abuse, eating disorders and abortion. None of which have been proven to be true. Lacey gave birth to a son, Garnett, in 2008. She immediately made up lies about Garnett’s father and started documenting her sons ‘medical issues’ online. Lacey insisted that Garnett have a feeding tube placed because he was unable to tolerate standard feeding. Nurses were skeptical as they were able to feed the baby without any issues.When Garnett was five, he ended up being airlifted to hospital. His sodium levels were so high that a doctor confronted his mother about the situation. Garnett passed away days later and a police investigation began.Lacey was convicted of murdering her son by injecting him with ultra levels of sodium. Authorities believe she suffers from Munchausen syndrome by proxy.Poisoning murders are a very rare occurrence. This method accounts for just under one-half of one percent of murders.Read our blog for these cases -https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2025/01/05/moms-who-murder-poison/Be sure to join us on Patreon for ad-free and exclusive weekly contentJoin us on Instagram for the latest crime newsThis episode is sponsored by: Graza Olive Oil -  Take your food to the next level with Graza Olive Oil.

In August 2024, Wisconsin man Ryan Borgwardt (44) told his wife of 20+ years that he was going kayaking.  The couple have three children together.  Ryan’s wife raised the alarm when he did not return.  His overturned kayak and a life jacket were found floating in the lake.  Authorities became so convinced that he was not in the lake, they started investigating other avenues.  They discovered that Ryan got a new passport, purchased airline gift cards and had been communicating with a woman online in Uzbekistan.   Ryan Flynn aka Ryan Roth has been accused of stealing thousands of dollars over the years - including from his own grandmother.  Ryan was known to set up fake charities, raise funds and then dissolve the organizations to keep the money for himself. On January 20, Ryan’s motorbike, belongings and an apparent suicide note were found at the edge of a cliff in Uluwatu in Bali.

Timestamps (4:45) - Olivia's thoughts on the Vicky & Casey White Documentary (11:00) - Nurses Who Murder According to the National Library of Medicine, it is estimated that an average of 35 Americans are killed by healthcare workers per year.  The true numbers are likely higher, given that these crimes are often missed for years.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two different cases where nurses have been convicted of purposely murdering their patients with insulin.Pennsylvania nurse Heather Pressdee gave "lethal and potentially lethal doses of insulin" to at least 22 of her patients.  Seventeen of the patients "died very soon" or "sometime later" after receiving the insulin doses.  Heather ended up taking a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.  In 2024, she was sentenced to  three consecutive life sentences for the murders. She was also ordered to subsequently serve another 380 to 760 years in prison for the attempted murders.Australian nurse Megan Haines had many complaints made against her during her nursing career.  It was alleged that she was rude to patients and that she stole from them.  At one point, she had her nursing license suspended.  Megan was reprimanded and was eventually allowed to nurse again.  While working a night shift in May 2014, she was informed that three patients had made complaints against her and that she would be investigated.  That night, Megan would inject two of the patients who complained about her with insulin.  She was arrested and charged with the murders and is currently serving a prison term - she will be eligible for parole in 2041.Read our blog for these cases - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2024/10/08/medical-murders/Join us on Patreon for ad-free and exclusive content - Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyBe sure to follow us on Instagram for the latest crime news - Instagram.com/truecrimesociety

Murder by poison is a rare method used by criminals.   It is used in just under one-half of one percent of cases.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss three very different cases where people were intentionally poisoned, in an attempt to kill.Indiana man Alfred Ruf has just been jailed for drugging his wife Lisa multiple times.  When Lisa was unconscious, Alfred would sleep with her daughter.  Alfred told police that the end goal had been for Lisa to die. Texas attorney Mason Herring and his wife Catherine were having marital issues and decided to separate. Soon after, Catherine found out she was pregnant with their third child, so the couple decided to try to make things work.  Mason decided to put an abortion drug into Catherine’s beverages, on repeated occasions. Catherine installed cameras in their home when she became suspicious after falling ill. Mason was eventually sentenced to a measly 180 days in jail after pleading guilty to charges of injury to a child and assault of a pregnant person.  The couple’s daughter was born 10 weeks premature and now attends therapy 8 times per week and she has developmental delays.Lana Clayton was millionaire Steven Clayton’s 7th wife. In 2018, Lana apparently found Steven laying at the bottom of a staircase. She ran outside and flagged down a motorist to ask for help.  Lana initially refused an autopsy for Steven and also told his family that he had no will, which not surprisingly, made them suspicious.  An autopsy was eventually carried out and it was discovered that Lana had poisoned Steven by putting eye drops into his coffee. She is also said to have thrown his phone into a lake so that he could not call for help following the poisoning.   Lana pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and tampering with a food or a drug causing death.  She was sentenced to 25 years in prison without parole.

I love my son and all but we both need an escape.”Later that day, Ross took Cooper to breakfast and was meant to drop him off to daycare.  After driving for a mile, Ross somehow forgot that Cooper was in his car seat.  Ross parked the car in direct sunlight, got out of the vehicle and went into work.Seven hours later, after internal temperatures in the car reached around 125f, Ross left work and drove off.  Minutes later, he realized what he had done.  Cooper was dead in his car seat.Ross was charged with malice murder, two counts of felony murder, cruelty to children in the first and second degree, criminal attempt to commit a felony and dissemination of harmful materials to minors.  Many of these charges stemmed from Ross’ inappropriate communications with underage females that he engaged in sexting with.Ross was convicted in 2016.  He was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole plus 32 years.  However, in 2024, Ross was released from prison.  A court ruled that there should have been separate trials for the murder charges and the sex-crime charges and his convictions were overturned.Read our blog for this caseIn the second case, we discuss the death of 4-month-old Tanna Rae Wroblewski.  Tanna Rae was allegedly left alone on a boat in 121f heat on the July 4th weekend this year.  Her parents were said to be swimming and cooling off.  When they returned to check Tanna Rae some time later, she was bleeding from the ears.  The baby was transported to hospital where she passed from heat-related conditions.  There is an investigation into the baby’s death ongoing.We are now on Patreon with exclusive content and ad-free episodes - join us at Patreon.com/truecrimesocietyThis episode is sponsored by: Smalls - Cat food has been the same forever.  It’s time for cat food to move into the 21st century.  Now is the time to make the switch to Smalls.  Head to Smalls.com/TCS and use promo code TCS at checkout for 50% off your first order PLUS free shipping!

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the separate cases of two missing people – Morgan Bauer and Yohanes Kidane.Morgan Bauer was 19 in 2016 when she left the small town in South Dakota where she had grown up, for the bright lights of Atlanta, Georgia.  Morgan embarked on her adventure with only dollars to her name.  The excitement quickly turned to desperation.  Morgan was thrown out of the accommodation that she had arranged to stay in and she frantically tried to find employment.  Morgan had only been in Georgia for a few weeks before friends and family realized that they hadn’t heard from her.   As of August 2023, Morgan remains missing and the two people who were last known to have been with her have been arrested in connection with her murder.Yohanes Kidane had the world at his feet.  He graduated from Cornell University earlier in 2023 and had relocated from New York to the Bay Area in California to take up a promising job with Netflix.  Yohanes spoke to his brother on Sunday August 13 and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.  When Yohanes’ siblings checked his location the following day, they saw that this phone was the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.  When his family called the phone, it was answered by a stranger who had found Yohanes personal belongings including his laptops, ID and wallet.  Yohanes is thought to have taken an Uber from his apartment in San Jose to the bridge.  He remains missing.   Did something sinister happen to Yohanes while in the ride share or did he travel to the Golden Gate Bridge for another reason?There have been updates in the Bryan Kohberger murder case and killer nurse Lucy Letby has been sentenced for killing multiple infants.  We discuss these updates in the episode.Timestamps - Bryan K and Lucy Letby Updates (3:05)Morgan Bauer/ Yohanes Kidane - (10:20)Read our blogs for these cases - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/08/28/arrests-made-in-the-case-of-missing-woman-morgan-bauer/https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/08/21/yohanes-kidane-missing-after-getting-into-an-uber-in-san-jose-ca/We are now on Patreon!  Thank you for your support -  patreon.com/Truecrimesociety

Leon Benson spent more than half of his life, a total of 24 years, in an Indiana state prison for a murder he didn't commit. Despite the lack of physical evidence and a questionable eyewitness identification, he was convicted. But new realities start to come to light when attorney Lara Bazelon takes up his case and is determined to secure Benson's release. Season three of Suspect, co-produced by Campside Media and Wondery, delves into the flaws in the criminal justice system that led to Benson's wrongful conviction for the 1998 shooting of Kasey Schoen in Indianapolis. The investigation aims to uncover the truth about who really committed the crime and why the eyewitness testimony that led to Benson's conviction was so shaky. Host Matthew Shaer joins co-producer and writer Bazelon to take a deep dive into the nature of memory and how it can be fallible and result in an innocent man's life being wasted, while the real perpetrator remains unpunished. As the investigation unfolds, will Bazelon and her team gather enough evidence to free Benson? And what will happen to Schoen’s real killer? Listen to Suspect: Five Shots in the Dark early and ad-free on Wondery Plus.

SKIP THE PRE-EPISODE CHAT & CASE UPDATES:Timestamp - (12:36)On January 29, 2022, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe went out for a night of drinking with his girlfriend Karen Read.  After midnight, they decided to leave the bars and head to an after-party at a friend’s home. What happened next is unclear.  We know that both John and Karen were likely intoxicated.  Karen eventually told police that she felt unwell so she dropped John off and headed home.  She woke up at around 5am and realized that John had not returned home.  She started retracing her steps and she went back to the house where the after-party was held.  There she found John’s cold and lifeless body in the snow. This case is very convoluted.  Karen was charged with manslaughter following John’s death – her SUV had apparent damage to the back and it was insinuated that she hit him while driving intoxicated.  In the past few weeks though, Karen’s attorneys have filed documents that indicate there may have been a cover up by John’s colleagues, other members of law enforcement.  It is claimed that John was likely beaten to death at the after-party and that he may have been attacked by a dog on the premises.  An attendee at the after-party also googled ‘how long to die in the cold’ at around 2.30am on the morning that John died. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the death of John O’Keefe – was he killed by his girlfriend or is there a cover-up involving law enforcement?  You can read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/05/07/what-happened-to-john-okeefe/ If you’d like to skip straight to the crime content, please goto (7:03) for updates on Madeline Kingsbury, Casey and Vicky White.Please go to (12:36) for the start of the John O'Keefe episode.

Between 2015 and 2016, the mortality rates for infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital in Britain were unusually high.  There were so many deaths and unexplained medical incidents occurring that the hospital actually stopped accepting premature infants to care for.  There seemed to be a common denominator in the hospital when these deaths– many of the babies had been around British nurse Lucy Letby.  After a primary investigation, Lucy was moved to clerical duties at the hospital.    On 11 November 2020, Lucy was charged with eight counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder in regards to the babies who had died or been injured under her care.  Lucy’s alleged victims have not been named publicly, and are noted in court documents as Baby A – Baby Q.Part of the prosecution against Lucy includes some notes that she allegedly wrote.   One of the notes stated: “ I don't deserve to live. I DID THIS WHY ME. I killed them on purpose because I'm not good enough to care for them, and I am horrible and evil person.’Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss the case of nightmare nurse Lucy Letby.After our last episode was released, there was an update in the Moscow, Idaho murder case.  Police released information about a vehicle that was seen in the area at the time and they have appealed for information on the occupant/s.  We also discuss this development in this episode.Read our blogs for these cases -  https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/11/16/massacre-in-moscow-idaho/ https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/10/05/lucy-letby-killer-nurse-or-hospital-scapegoat/ If you would like to start straight at the case content, please skip to (6:55).  This episode is sponsored by:HelloFresh – goto HelloFresh.com/tcs18 and use code tcs18 for 18 free meals plus free shipping of America’s #1 meal kit!Microdose Gummies - Go to microdose.com and use code TCS for 30% off your first order of THC gummies. Mind Bullet – Feel your best every day.  Visit mindbullet.com and enter code TCS at check out for 25% off your first order.Apostrophe is an online platform that connects you with an expert dermatology team.

Sometimes a crime so heinous occurs, it is hard to wrap your mind around how any human can be so evil, especially towards the most vulnerable.  In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss the murders of Ashley Bush and Savanna Greywind for their unborn babies.TW – child murder, pregnancy loss.In October 2022, Ashley Bush was struggling with her latest pregnancy.  She had three other children and her partner was unable to work.  She was asking on social media for help with baby supplies and was looking to find work that she could do to earn some extra money.    Ashley crossed paths online with ‘Lucy Barrows’ and that was the beginning of the end.  Ashley met with Lucy (real name Amber Waterman) and lost her life.  Amber tried to pass of Ashley’s baby as her own, even going as far as to stuff Ashley’s placenta in her underwear.  The baby did not survive the ordeal and before Amber’s diabolical lie was uncovered, she actually held a funeral for Ashley’s baby, passing the child off as her own daughter.Savanna Greywind was 8 months pregnant when she agreed to help a neighbor, Brooke Crews, with a sewing project.  What actually happened when she arrived at Brooke’s apartment is unclear due to differing versions of events, but Savanna lost her life.  Her baby was brutally cut from her womb, but thankfully survived.  Brooke and her partner William managed to hide the evidence of their crime, as well as the baby from police for days before their horrific crime was uncovered.  Savanna’s daughter Haisley is now a thriving five-year-old, in the care of her loving father.You can read our blog for these cases here:  https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/11/14/the-murders-of-ashley-bush-and-savanna-greywind-for-their-unborn-babies/This episode is sponsored by:Microdose Gummies - Go to microdose.com and use code TCS for 30% off your first order of THC gummies. Mind Bullet – Feel your best every day.  Visit mindbullet.com and enter code TCS at check out for 25% off your first order.Skylight Frame – A really special gift for the really special people in your life.  Visit SkylightFrame.com and use code SOCIETY for $15 off your purchase.Babbel – Start your language-learning journey today with Babbel.  Visit Babbel.com/TCS for up to 55% off your subscription.

In the US each year, there are more than 300 cases of a child killing their parent or parents.  This means it happens around six times per week!In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss five horrific cases: Karly Cantrell was a member of True Crime Society on Facebook.  Her oldest son Levi was having some issues recently and she asked him to move out due to his ‘poor behavior’.  On October 10, Levi returned to his mother’s home and brutally murdered her. Texas teen Tyler Roenz (17) had been in trouble recently.  He had been charged in April with sexually assaulting another teen.  On October 13, 2022, police asked people to be on the lookout for Tyler and his mother Michelle.  There was a police chase and Michelle’s body was found in the trunk of the vehicle that Tyler was driving.  He has been charged with her murder. In July this year, Logan Lopez (24) asked his mother Mary Beth to bring some mail to his apartment.  When she arrived, he brutally bashed her to death with a hammer.  Police have said he planned the murder for over a year. Mauri Belarmino (40) wrote a lovely Facebook post for her mother in July 2022.  She wrote that her mother was great and amazing and that she had taught Mauri how to be a better citizen.  But in September 2022, Mauri snapped and strangled her 74 y/o mother to death. Hend Bustami (28) called 911 on October 26, 2022.  She told the dispatcher, “I think I killed my mommy. “I broke the table on her head. I broke the table on her head and I cut her neck off.”   Hend’s mother Afaf was found dead in the home they shared.    Hend had been previously arrested this year and claimed it was because police had never seen anyone as good looking as her. We also discuss the huge updates in the case of murdered teens Liberty German and Abigail Williams from Delphi, Indiana.  Seemingly out of the blue, on October 26, a Delphi local named Richard Allen was arrested and charged with the girls’ murders.  Richard does not seem to have been on anyone’s radar in regards to this case and the news is shocking.If you would like to get straight to the crime content, please skip to the 9 minute mark.  The Delphi update starts at 51.07.You can read our blogs for these cases:https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/10/28/breaking-news-there-has-been-an-arrest-in-the-delphi-murder-case/https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/11/07/kids-who-kill/This episode is sponsored by:June’s Journey -There is a detective in all of us!  Available on Android and iOS mobile devices, as well as on PC through Facebook Games.BetterHelp - get 10% off your first month of online therapy at BetterHelp.  Visit BetterHelp.com/societyMicrodose Gummies - Go to microdose.com and use code TCS for 30% off your first order of THC gummies.

Ellen Rae Greenberg seemed to have it all.  She was beautiful, successful, ambitious and engaged to the man of her dreams.  In January 2011, her partner Sam left their apartment and went to the gym in their complex.  When he came back under an hour later, the apartment door was allegedly bolted from the inside and he could not get in.  He frantically tried to contact Ellen and he ended up breaking down the door.  Inside, he found Ellen dead in their kitchen, with a knife sticking out of her chest.  She had more than 20 stab wounds, including many to the back of her head and neck.  Ellen’s death ended up being determined a suicide.  Her family have always disputed this and have pushed for over a decade for it to be reclassified.  In September 2022, the investigation into Ellen’s death was reopened.You can read our blog for this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/10/11/ellen-rae-greenberg-murder-or-suicide/Did Ellen Rae Greenberg take her own life or was she murdered?This episode is sponsored by:June’s Journey -There is a detective in all of us!  Available on Android and iOS mobile devices, as well as on PC through Facebook Games.BetterHelp - get 10% off your first month of online therapy at BetterHelp.  Visit BetterHelp.com/societyMicrodose Gummies -  Go to microdose.com and use code TCS for 30% off your first order of THC gummies.

According to the United Nations Office on Drugs & Crime, 47,000 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members in 2020. This means that, on average, a woman or girl is killed by someone in her own family every 11 minutes.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the cases of three women who were likely murdered by their partners. Irene Gakwa met her boyfriend Nathan Hightman on Craigslist.  The two had an on-again, off-again relationship and Irene’s family did not know that the two were still living together in February 2022.  Irene spoke to her family in Kenya in late February this year and has not been seen again.  The day after she vanished, Nathan purchased a 55 gallon drum and was seen burning something in it.  He is not cooperating with police. Karina Castro had a fight over Snapchat in September 2022 with her estranged, violent partner Rafa Solano.  She threatened to tell everyone about Rafa’s sexual relationships.  The following day, Rafa turned up to Karina’s home with a samurai sword.  He beheaded her in the street outside her apartment, while her two young children were just feet away. Maya Millete and her husband Larry had been having marriage troubles in early 2021.  Maya was planning to separate from him and had consulted an attorney.  When Maya’s family could not get in touch with her, they went to her home and forced Larry to open the door to the room where he said Maya was.  Not surprisingly, the room was empty and Maya has not been seen since.  On the night of her disappearance, many loud gunshots were heard by neighbors.  Larry has since been arrested and charged with Maya’s murder – her remains have not been recovered.  Maya’s disappearance is a strange one that involves witchcraft and hexes that were initiated by Larry in an attempt to control her.

Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss three fascinating Doe cases.  In October 2020, a quail hunter stumbled across human remains in a cattle float box in Artesia, AZ.  He assumed the remains belonged to a child as they were surrounded by toys.  When police investigated, further, they discovered the remains belonged to a female, likely aged between 13-22.  This Jane Doe was wearing what appeared to be a ‘witches robe’, as well as a jacket covered with skull print.The remains of a young girl were found in Opelika, Alabama in January 2012.  She remains unidentified to this day.  In a twist to this case, police have photographs of the girl they believe to be Opelika Jane Doe, when she was alive.  Authorities believe she attended a bible school in the area.  No records of attendees at the school were kept, and none of the teachers recall her name.  This tiny girl had been so badly abused before her death, that police believe she had a very noticeable injury to her eye.  This injury can be seen in the photos they have.The mystery of the Somerton Man is one that has captured the public’s attention for decades.  In 1948, a man was found deceased on Somerton Beach in South Australia.  All labels had been removed from his clothing and many medical experts believe that he died from poisoning.  Over the years, many theories about this man were discussed – was he a spy who had been murdered?  Or a ballet dancer – he had pointed toes and high calf muscles, similar to those displayed by dancers?  In July 2022, following extensive DNA testing, researchers announced that they had likely identified the Somerton Man.  (Right before we aired this episode, as usual!)Read our blogs for these cases – TrueCrimeSocietyBlog.com This episode is sponsored by:Microdose Gummies - Go to microdose.com and use code TCS for 30% off your first order of THC gummies.Mind Bullet – Want to increase your energy levels and creativity?  Visit mindbullet.com and use code TCS at checkout for 25% off your first order.Java House -  Cold brew coffee is a better cup of coffee.  Visit JavaHouse.com and use code TCS for 10% off.BetterHelp – BetterHelp is online therapy that offers video, phone and live-chat options.  Visit BetterHelp.com/society for 10% off your first month.

Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we delve again into the fascinating world of cults and followers.TW for this episode – suicide discussion.Have you heard of Teal Swan?  Teal claims she is part-human, part extra-terrestrial.  She has also said that she can hear tectonic plates moving and can inject herself into people’s brainstems.  Teal’s followers are known as ‘Tealers’.  Teal routinely gives out advice to suicidal people (she has no medical or psychiatric qualifications).  Several of Teal’s followers have taken their own lives after reaching out to her and her team.    Is what Teal Swan is doing dangerous or does she have other’s best interests at heart?We also discuss the crazy case of Baby Holly.   Tina and Harold Clouse were found murdered in Texas in 1981, but their remains were not identified until 2021.  The couple had a baby before their deaths and their extended family prayed for over 40 years for answers about what had happened to the family.  In 2022, ‘Baby Holly’ was found alive and well – she had been legally adopted and was unaware of the story of her biological family.  It is believed that Tina and Harold were likely killed because of their involvement in a cult called ‘Christ’s Family’.  Members of this cult wore diapers on their heads as turbans and men and women were separated from each other.Please note that we have lots of life updates in this episode – please skip to around 17 minutes if you would like to get straight into the episode content!Read our blogs for these cases – TrueCrimeSocietyBlog.com This episode is sponsored by:Microdose Gummies - Go to microdose.com and use code TCS for 30% off your first order of THC gummies.  Thuma – Create that feeling of checking in to your favorite boutique hotel suite, but at home, with The Bed, by Thuma.

A 2014 study found that around 500 times per year in the US, a parent kills their child/children.  A mother kills her child on average, every three days. Why?  There is never an easy answer - financial problems, single parenthood, multiple children, substance abuse and mental illness can all contribute to filicide.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss five recent cases where a mother has killed her child or children.  Please note that this episode does contain some graphic details – listener and viewer discretion is advised. Julissa Hart was pulled over by police in Minnesota in May 2022.  She was covered in blood, which she tried to explain as menstrual blood.  Police searched her vehicle and found her son Eli, deceased in the trunk.  Julissa allegedly shot Eli while he was strapped into his car seat. Angela Flores’ neighbors called 911 after they found her rambling incoherently in their yard.  Just hours later, a 911 call was made from her home.  Angela had allegedly murdered her three children on Mother’s Day this year. Makaylia Jolley is a young mother aged 20 with two young babies.  In May 2022, multiple 911 calls were made after she was seen throwing her infant daughter onto the road.  The baby died and the death penalty is being sought in this case. Trinh Nguyen was found almost unresponsive in her car.  A note was found on the dash: “Please call 911 My children are Dead in their bed at 119 Timber Ridge Rd.’  Trinh’s two sons were shot in the head by their mother and they both passed away days later in hospital. In September 2021, Fallon Harris asked her 12 y/o son Kaden where had he put her SD card.  He was unable to give it back to his mother, so she shot him twice, killing him.   Read our blogs for these cases – TrueCrimeSocietyBlog.com This episode is sponsored by:June’s Journey – There is a detective in all of us!  Download June’s Journey free today on the Apple App Store or Google Play!Thuma - Create that feeling of checking in to your favorite boutique hotel suite, but at home, with The Bed, by Thuma.

Lacey Fletcher’s childhood, growing up in Slaughter, Louisiana seemed to be fairly normal.  She played volleyball and had a close group of friends.  There are public photos of a smiling Lacey taken from her yearbook and neighbors recall interacting with her and seeing her regularly out exercising.When Lacey reached the age of 14, something happened.  Her parents withdrew her from school and allegedly began to home school her.  They have said that she was diagnosed with autism and her condition became more severe around this time.Nobody saw Lacey in public for over a decade.  Her mother Sheila called 911 in January 2022 to report that Lacey was unresponsive on the couch.  When authorities arrived, they were met with the most horrific scene they had ever encountered. 'I have been a sheriff for six years, and I have had a lot of things happen here in East Feliciana Parish, but this type of scene, this is by far the worst,' Sheriff Jeffery Travis said. Lacey had essentially been left to rot and die on the couch in her home.  Her mother has said she refused to get up to use the bathroom, so she lay in her own excrement for years.  The details of Lacey’s sad death are so horrific that medical staff were on hand to treat jurors after they saw photos of the scene. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the deaths of Lacey Fletcher and Valerie Wallach.  Both women were left to die in agony in their own homes.You can read our blog for their cases here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/05/22/murder-by-neglect-the-death-of-lacey-fletcher/ This episode is sponsored by:Thuma - Create that feeling of checking in to your favorite boutique hotel suite, but at home, with The Bed, by Thuma.

On April 29, 2022, Vicky White made a decision that would alter the course of her life.  Nothing would ever be the same.Early that morning, Vicky put a long-thought out plan into motion.  She was ready.  She told her colleagues at the Lauderdale County Detention Center that she was transporting inmate Casey Cole White to a mental health evaluation.  She broke all protocol and escorted the inmate alone – she had her excuses for doing so ready and nobody questioned her.  She also told her workplace that she had a medical appointment that day and that she would likely not return to work.There were no appointments – either for Vicky or Casey.  The corrections officer and the inmate had been carrying on an illicit affair for two years.  The two went on the run, through many states.  They had $90k cash to fund their escapade.  Police always seemed to be one step behind them.Until May 9.  Vicky and Casey were spotted leaving a budget motel in Evansville, Indiana and a police chase ensued.  Their car crashed and Vicky took her own life before she could be apprehended.  Casey was taken back into custody.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss the ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ style case of Vicky White and Casey Cole White.You can read our blog for this case here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/05/08/captured-corrections-officer-vicky-white-and-escaped-inmate-casey-cole-white/ This episode is sponsored by:  Thuma - Create that feeling of checking in to your favorite boutique hotel suite, but at home, with The Bed, by Thuma.

You may have seen media articles recently about Melissa Lucio – the first ever Hispanic woman to be sentenced to death in Texas.  Melissa was due to be executed in April 2022 and she was granted a stay of execution just days before her scheduled death.Melissa is a mother of 14 children.  She was convicted of murdering her 2 year-old daughter Mariah in 2007.  Mariah was found unresponsive after an alleged fall down stairs.  An autopsy was conducted and at the time, it was determined that Mariah died from blunt force trauma.  She also had bruising of the kidneys, lungs and spinal cord. When Melissa was taken in for questioning, she was interrogated for hours, without proper legal representation.  She was not offered food or water.  She denied over 100 times that she caused Mariah’s death.  Eventually, Melissa broke down and ‘confessed’ to Mariah’s murder.  “I don’t know what you want me to say,” she told authorities. “I’m responsible for it … I guess I did it.” Over the years, Melissa’s team have made many appeals in her case.  She also has high-profile supporters such as the Innocence Project and Kim Kardashian.  Melissa’s case will now be re-examined to determine if she is eligible for a new trial.  In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss the death of Mariah Alvarez and the conviction of her mother Melissa Lucio.You can read the blog for this case here – https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/05/11/wrongful-conviction-melissa-lucio/Do you believe that Melissa should be executed for this crime?This episode is sponsored by:  Thuma - Create that feeling of checking in to your favorite boutique hotel suite, but at home, with The Bed, by Thuma.

According to an article by theverge.com, around 21 percent of Lyft drivers and 27 percent of Uber drivers in the US are women.  With the increase in rideshare options comes an increase in risk for female passengers and female drivers.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss the cases of four different women who have either been murdered or are missing.  The one commonality for these cases is that the women would likely be here today if it wasn’t for accepting or offering a rideshare lift. Christina Spicuzza accepted an Uber fare in February 2022.  Horrifyingly, the rider was never looking for a lift – he was out to rob and kill her.  There is terrifying dashcam footage of Christi in the moments before her murder.  Her body was found days after she vanished – she was still wearing her protective face mask when she was discovered. Ella Goodie accepted a Lyft job in March 2022.  The ride was to take her from Louisiana to Texas, a 7 hour round trip.  Ella never made it home to her teenage daughters.  She is still missing and her case has been classified as a homicide. Felicia Johnson travelled from her home in California to Houston, Texas in April 2022.  Some reports say that she went to a club to look for work.  After that, she was reportedly waiting for an Uber outside and it was delayed.  She accepted a lift with an unidentified man and has not been seen since.  Her phone was found abandoned and covered in blood. Samantha Josephson decided to finish up her night out with friends in March 2019, and she called an Uber.  A car pulled up and she got in.  She mistook this vehicle for her Uber and this mistake ended her life.  Samantha was stabbed over 120 times by her driver.  The judge in this case called Samantha’s murder the ‘most severe’  that he had seen before.

On Friday, April 15, 2022, Orsolya Gaal (51) went to see a show with friends and she stopped a bar in her neighborhood before returning to her home in Queens, New York.  Orsolya would never be seen alive by her husband and two sons again.  Orsolya was stabbed around 60 times and her carotid artery and trachea were punctured.  Her body was shoved into a large bag by her murderer.  Police released eerie CCTV footage of a male figure walking away from Orsolya’s house, wheeling her body in the bag.  The murderer got less than a mile before he dumped the bag and ran.   Orsolya’s body was discovered just hours later by a dog walker.  Orsolya had been having a secret affair with her handyman, David Bonola, for years.  On the night she died, she allegedly told David that their relationship was over.  He was not happy.  On April 20, he walked up to detectives investigating this case and said ‘I hear you are looking for me.’  David confessed to Orsolya’s brutal murder and is now in custody.Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss the murder of Orsolya Gaal.In this episode, we also discuss the discovery of a young child’s body stuffed in a suitcase in Washington County, Indiana earlier this month.  Police believe the boy was around 5 years old when he died.  Nobody has yet come forward to claim him.  You can read our blog for Orsolya’s case here https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/04/17/orsolya-gaal-murdered-and-shoved-in-a-duffel-bag/ Read more about the boy in the suitcase here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/04/26/the-sad-case-of-the-boy-in-the-suitcase-sellersburg-indiana/ This episode is sponsored by:  Thuma - Create that feeling of checking in to your favorite boutique hotel suite, but at home, with The Bed, by Thuma.

Police in Miami received a 911 call on April 3, 2022.  The female caller said there had been an altercation and that a man had been stabbed to death.This is the story of influencer Courtney Tailor and her boyfriend Toby Obumseli.Courtney has over 2 million Instagram followers and according to social media, she seemed to be living a high-flying life.  She lived with Toby in a luxury condo in Miami and things seemed to be going well for the couple.But their reality was very different.  Sources now say that the couple were in a toxic relationship and were abusive to each other.  They had apparently split up in the weeks before this incident, but Toby would allegedly find his way into the apartment complex and would sleep in common areas, waiting for Courtney.It is still unclear what happened on April 3, but Toby died after he was stabbed in the shoulder.  Courtney is claiming self-defence, but Toby’s family are adamant that he was not the aggressor.Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss the case of Courtney Tailor and Toby Obumseli.  We also discuss another high-profile case – the murder of Phil Hartman and the consequent suicide of his wife Brynn.  You can read our blog for Courtney and Toby here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/04/09/courtney-tailor-and-christian-toby-obumseli-murder-or-self-defense/ And our Hartman family blog here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/04/19/the-hartman-family-murder-suicide/ This episode is sponsored by:Thuma - Create that feeling of checking in to your favorite boutique hotel suite, but at home, with The Bed, by Thuma.

In this episode, we will be discussing horrific instances of child abuse.  Listener discretion is advised.In 2018, a brave 17 year-old managed to escape the home where she had been held captive her entire life.  She found a deactivated cell-phone that she took with her on her escape, and she called 911.  She told police that she had been kept locked in a room for 20 hours a day and was allowed one shower per year. When police arrived, they found TWELVE additional children locked in the house.  Human feces, dead animals and rotten food covered the entire property. This was not a case of human trafficking or abduction though, this is the horrific case of the Turpin Family.David and Louise Turpin had 13 children during their marriage.  Outwardly, the parents portrayed the family as loving and close knit – they took the children on vacation to Disneyland and Vegas, where they all posed in matching outfits.  In reality, they did not care for any of them and mistreated them in the worst possible ways.  All of the children were uneducated and physically and emotionally abused.  They used to eat ketchup, mustard and ice as there was literally nothing else to eat. And what happened to some of the Turpin Children after they were rescued will break your heart. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss the case of the Turpin Family and their house of horrors. You can view our blog for the Turpin case here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/04/12/the-turpin-house-of-horrors/ This episode is sponsored by:June’s Journey – Find your inner detective.

Usually, we go about our daily routines without a care in the world.  Wake up, get ready and drive to work.  Naomi Irion (18) did exactly this on March 12, 2022 in Fernley, Nevada.  She got ready for work at Panasonic, stopped to buy a drink and drove her vehicle to the Walmart parking lot like she did daily.  She sat in her car and waited for the shuttle bus that would ferry her to work.Naomi would not make it to work on March 12.  She would never be seen alive again.  A man was captured on CCTV loitering in the parking lot where Naomi was waiting.  He can be seen going up to her vehicle and forcing her into the passenger seat.  He then drove off in her vehicle, taking her captive.The search for Naomi spanned over two weeks.  On March 29, authorities found her body dumped in a shallow grave in a remote area of Nevada. Troy Driver (41) has since been arrested and charged with kidnapping and murder in Naomi’s case.  Police have been very tightlipped about the investigation.  Was this a random abduction?  Had Naomi come across Troy Driver in some capacity before she disappeared?Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast where we discuss the heinous murder of Naomi Irion.You can view our blog for Naomi here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/03/23/abducted-from-walmart-the-death-of-naomi-irion/ This episode is sponsored by:Ana Luisa - Go to shop.analuisa.com/society make Mom's Day and treat her to new jewelry pieces with Ana Luisa's Buy One, Get One 40% OFF sale!Thuma - Create that feeling of checking in to your favorite boutique hotel suite, but at home, with The Bed, by Thuma.

On April 28, 2021, police entered a home in Moffatt, Colorado.   Their visit was caught on body cam – they can be seen entering a home filled with adults and children.  They made their way into a bedroom where they came across the unimaginable – a mummified body wrapped in a sleeping bag and enshrined in fairy lights.  This is the story of Amy Carlson and the Love Has Won cult.In 2007, Amy left her husband, three children and job at McDonald’s and ran away to start a new life with a man she had met on an internet forum.  The group was known as the "Galactic Federation of Light".  Amy was the head of the group and she was known as ‘Mother God’.The group evolved over the years, and it eventually became known as ‘Love Has Won’.  Amy began taking on the negative energy of the world (apparently) and she became weaker and sicker as the years went on.  She told followers she had ‘stage five’ cancer and she began ingesting colloidal silver to treat her ailments. Her skin would turn a grey colour.After alarming photos of Amy were posted online, her family requested multiple welfare checks and were always turned away by Love Has Won members.  When police finally obtained access on April 28, Amy’s remains were discovered.  According to cult members, Amy is still part of the group, just from the 5th Dimension.  Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast where we discuss Amy Carlson and the Love Has Won cult.This episode is sponsored by:FitOn is the #1 premium free fitness app, and it is redefining the workout experience.  Text SOCIETY to 64-000 to join FitOn for free!Apostrophe is a prescription skincare company that offers science-backed oral and topical medications that are clinically proven to help clear acne.  To get started, just go to Apostrophe.com/TCS and click Begin Visit, then use our code TCS at sign up and you’ll get your first visit for only five dollars!BetterHelp is online therapy that offers video, phone and even live chat sessions with your therapist, so you don’t have to see anyone on camera if you don’t want to.

Kyron Horman was so excited to head to school on June 4, 2010.  He had prepared a project on Tree Frogs for the school science fair.  He got dressed in his favorite CSI t-shirt and headed off to school with his stepmother Terri and his sister Kiara.When the trio arrived at Skyline Elementary, Kyron put his coat and his bag in his classroom.  Just a few minutes later, he disappeared.The search for Kyron was the biggest in Oregon’s history – volunteers from three states travelled to help.  The FBI became involved almost straight away.  Even with all this manpower, Kyron has never been found – it has been 12 years since he was last seen.Did an opportunistic predator snatch Kyron from his school?  Or does his stepmother Terri know more about what happened to Kyron? Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss the disappearance of Kyron Horman.You can read our blog for Kyron here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/03/22/kyron-horman-missing-since-2010/ Be sure to check out The Murder Diaries Podcast – giving voices to the voiceless and humanizing and sharing the stories of true crime victims.  @themurderdiariespod on TikTok and Instagram.This episode is sponsored by:Little Spoon – the one stop shop for healthy, easy mealtime + snacktime for your baby, toddler and big kid, delivered right to your door.  Get 50% off your first order using the code TCS50 at check out – littlespoon.comMagic Spoon – Healthy breakfast doesn’t have to be boring!  Get your next delicious bowl of guilt-free cereal at MagicSpoon.com/TCS.  Use code TCS and get $5 off.

There are some cases that captivate the attention of the entire world – Elizabeth Smart and Gabby Petito are names that we would all recognize.I am sure that most of us also know the name Sherri Papini.  Sherri’s case got worldwide attention back in 2016 when she was abducted.  Her husband Keith raised the alarm when Sherri was not home when he finished work for the day.  She had also failed to pick up her two children from daycare.The search for Sherri cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and went on for weeks.  On November 24, 2016, 22 days after she was reported missing, Sherri was found alive on the side of a road in Yolo County, California.  She was battered, branded and bruised but otherwise okay.We all breathed a collective sigh of relief – thank goodness for a happy ending! Until more details emerged.  Allegations of Sherri’s racist background and details that did not add up made some of us wonder about the validity of her story.   As the years went on, I think many people assumed that Sherri had not told the truth about her experience, but that nothing would ever come of it. In March 2022, Sherri Papini was charged with making false statements to a federal law enforcement officer and mail fraud.  Her whole abduction was a lie and she schemed a plan at the time to run off to be with an ex boyfriend, leaving her husband and young children to worry for weeks.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the ‘abductions’ of Sherri Papini and Madison Bell.  Madison vanished in 2020 after she told her mother that she was ‘going tanning’.  Her car was found abandoned and the FBI got involved.  It turns out that Madison fled to be with a man that she had been speaking with online. You can view our blog for Sherri here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/03/13/the-abduction-of-sherri-papini/ This episode is sponsored by: June’s Journey – Find your Inner Detective.

Orrin and Orson West had a sad start to life.  They were removed from their care of their biological mother when they were tiny and were placed in the care of their adoptive parents, Trezell and Jacqueline West.The boys lived with four other siblings in California.  In December 2020, their ‘father’ Trezell claims they went outside to play and were never seen again.  The local community in California searched alongside the police for months and months.  Jacqueline and Trezell had their other children placed into care, allegedly because of ‘threats’ made by the public.  Police interviewed neighbors who said they had never actually seen Orrin and Orson in the area.How could two little boys vanish, possibly months before they were reported missing?This case seemed like it may be turning cold.  Until March 2022, when Trezell and Jacqueline were each arrested on counts of second-degree murder, willful cruelty to a child and  false reporting of an emergency.  Police have now said that Orrin and Orson were murdered by the people who were meant to care for them most, months before the search for them began.  The boys still remain missing.Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast where we discuss the murders of Orrin and Orson West.  You can read our blog for the boys here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/03/01/themurderof-brothers-orrin-and-orson-west/ You can listen on Apple here https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000553517911 and Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ZxZO02l2fGQf1u1wyb6ML?si=2DIdjpm_Q7-yHhqXvG_dBA This episode is sponsored by:- Magic Spoon Cereal has the amazing flavors you love, but without all the bad stuff!

The rise of social media has led to it being easier for us to make new friends, keep in touch with friends and family all over the world.  Technology has given us access to any information we could ever need, all within seconds.With this increase in social media use comes some downsides too.  People are now more easily able to take advantage of others and money is able to change hands so easily.In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we chat about three Social Scammers – women who have been in trouble with the law after obtaining funds fraudulently from unsuspecting social media followers. Belle Gibson is one of Australia’s most prolific social scammers.  She managed to deceive huge corporations.  Apple planned to include her health and wellness app on all iPads and Apple Watches.  She told lie after lie about her health – she claimed to have terminal cancer that she cured by using holistic therapies.  She also claimed that she underwent multiple heart operations and had endured strokes.  None of this was true.  When her deception was uncovered, she was dropped  by Apple and Penguin Books.  Belle has been ordered to repay hundreds of thousands of dollars – so far, none of the repayments have materialised. Coco Berthmann had a troubled start to life.  She has claimed that she managed to escape Germany as a teenager and that she had been trafficked by her parents for years.  She moved to America and became a human rights activist.  She established the Coco Berthmann Scholarship Fund and spoke about her ‘experiences’ publicly.  In early 2022, Coco told a friend that she had stage 3 mantle cell lymphoma cancer.  A GoFundMe was started for Coco, and it raised thousands of dollars.  In February 2022, Coco was arrested on suspicion of communications fraud.  Police investigated her ‘cancer diagnosis’  and found no evidence that Coco ever had the illness.  Many of Coco’s other claims have now been questioned.  There have been allegations that she was not actually a victim of child sex trafficking, said police, who could not verify her claims of working with the FBI. Brittany Dawn has had a long, troubled run as an Influencer.  She started out as a fitness influencer with her company BDawnFit.  She got into trouble with her followers years ago after her ‘personalized’ eating plans, that people paid up to $500 for, turned out to not be so personal.  She was also accused of triggering people with eating disorders by using tags such as #skipdinnerwakeupthinner.  Brittany refused to refund most members and tried to move on with her life as a ‘Christian’ influencer.  She married Jordan Nelson, a man who lost his job as a police officer after he used ‘excessive force’ during an arrest.  She also faced much backlash after she released a tearful video, detailing how her husband shot her dog after it was hit by a car.  The dog was still alive and breathing, but the couple decided to shoot it instead of taking it to a vet.  In February 2022, the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that the state of Texas was suing Brittany for between $250,000 and $1 million in penalties and court fees for misleading customers.  You can read our blogs on these cases: https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/02/28/the-deception-of-coco-berthmann/ https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/02/28/social-scammer-belle-gibson/https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/02/28/the-continuing-fall-of-brittany-dawn/You can listen on Apple here - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000552780017and Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5vXVo0h3HzJpb8c4WNOhAN?si=DPJhGWFGRJeFS3G2AUm83A This week’s episode is sponsored by Apostrophe and Better Help.Visit Apostrophe.com/tcs, click Begin Visit, then use our code TCS at sign up and you’ll get your first visit for only five dollars!BetterHelp is online therapy that offers video, phone and even live chat sessions with your therapist, so you don’t have to see anyone on camera if you don’t want to.

UPDATE - February 24, 2022.  The bones that were found in the search for Susan do not belong to her and have been determined to be animal bones.SUSAN’S STORYWhen Susan Cox met Josh Powell, she envisioned her own ‘happily ever after’.  They were both members of the LDS church and seemed to have similar values and goals in life.    The couple settled down and had two sons, Charlie and Braden.One early pressure point in their marriage was interference and unwanted advances that were continually being made by Josh’s father, Steven Powell.  Steven would film Susan without her consent and he wrote many cringe-worthy love songs for her.  Susan became fed up and the family moved states from Washington to Utah.Not too long into their marriage, Josh began to change.  He became increasingly controlling -  even though Susan was the breadwinner in the family, he would control their finances so tightly that she did not have enough money to feed her children.  She began to grow vegetables to make sure they had enough to eat.  Susan also told family and friends that Josh threatened to "destroy her" if she filed for divorce. She then said that if she dies "it may not be an accident, even if it may look like one." One cold December day in 2009, Susan’s neighbor visited the Powell family and they ate together.  Susan said she felt tired and wanted to nap.  This was the last time anyone would see Susan alive.  Josh’s version of events on the day that Susan disappeared is that he took his two young sons camping, at midnight, in ‘blizzard like’ conditions’. He told police that when he arrived home, Susan was gone.  Josh moved with Charlie and Braden back to Washington and they lived there for the next few years.  Susan’s family battled for custody of the boys for years, and it got to a point where Josh was only allowed to see them during visits that were supervised by a social worker.  When it became evident that he was never going to regain full custody of his sons, Josh killed both children and then himself in one of the most horrendous crimes that you could imagine.Police closed their active investigation into Susan’s case in 2013.  I think we all assumed that her case would remain cold indefinitely.  Until now.  Just a few days ago, searchers recovered bones and clothing from a mine in the Utah desert.  Susan’s family have said they are hopeful the remains belong to Susan.  Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we tell the story of Susan Cox Powell and her sons, Braden and Charlie.You can read our blog for Susan here -  https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/02/21/the-disappearance-of-susan-powell/ You can listen on Apple here - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000552074931 and Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1mIYdUDXY6utGbUgROHgxc?si=TC8TJhDZSoGPLfSsf0vb-w This episode of the True Crime Society Podcast is sponsored by FitOn and June’s Journey.FitOn is the #1 premium free fitness app, and it is redefining the workout experience.

Two people with two very different stories have vanished without a trace in Los Angeles.Heidi Planck seemed to be living the California dream – she drove a top of the line Range Rover, lived in a beautiful house and had a great co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband.  They worked together to raise their 11 year-old son.  On October 17, 2021, Heidi loaded her labradoodle named Seven into her Range Rover and she drove to watch her son’s football game in Downey.  Her ex was also there, and he said she seemed ‘edgy’.  She left the game without warning at half time and has not been seen again.  Seven was found wandering around the 28th floor of an upscale apartment complex in downtown LA later that day.  Heidi’s car was found parked nearby.  Heidi remains missing to this day, despite extensive searches of landfill by the LAPD.Heidi’s case is a complex one that involves fraud, FBI raids, CCTV images and there are many plausible scenarios for what may have happened to her.  Could her disappearance be related to a fraud scheme that was being carried out by the company she worked for?  There are also whispers that Heidi may have overdosed during a party and that her body may have been disposed of down a garbage chute.  Or did Heidi leave her complicated life behind?You can read our blog for Heidi here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/02/14/the-bizarre-disappearance-of-heidi-planck/ Beau Mann was known to be an entrepreneur.  He founded a social network for recovering addicts, ‘Sober Grid’.  He had been interviewed by Forbes Magazine about his own sobriety.  Things were looking good for Beau – he had recently started taking a salary from his company and he seemed on track for big things.  Beau had just returned to his home in LA after spending Thanksgiving with his family in Texas.  He was last seen on CCTV on November 30, 2021 at a 7-11.  It is believed that Beau got into an Uber, and less than 10 minutes later, he sent a 9-11 text from his phone.  Beau has not been seen since that time.  The Uber driver is adamant that Beau was dropped off at his apartment.  Beau’s family have combed through hours of CCTV and have said that Beau never entered the apartment complex again.   LAPD have suggested to Beau’s family that he may be undergoing a ‘digital detox’.  This is an idea the family flat out refuse to entertain and say that Beau would never leave his company unattended for this long.  Beau’s mother is worried that he has suffered a relapse or a mental health crisis.  Another theory is that Beau may have been harmed for his belongings – he was carrying phones and computers at the time he vanished.You can read our blog for Beau here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/02/15/where-is-beau-mann/ As of February 2022, both Heidi and Beau remain missing.  This episode of the True Crime Society podcast tells their stories.You can listen on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/episode/4vkJ2wOXBrBLdw6A6mrppJ?si=eVcUZxL8ROCaV1Aa_oJWHQ and Apple here https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000551353760.This episode of the True Crime Society Podcast is sponsored by FitOn.  FitOn is the #1 premium free fitness app, and it is redefining the workout experience.  Text SOCIETY to 64-000 to join FitOn for free!

Lauren Smith-Fields was a vibrant and ambitious 23 year old woman who loved matcha tea, working out and was studying to be a physical therapist.  In December 2021, she met a man off the dating app, Bumble.  Lauren invited the man to her apartment in Bridgeport, CT, where they had some tequila and watched a movie.  During the evening, Lauren left the apartment for 10-15 minutes to meet someone outside.  When she came back in, they continued watching a movie and Lauren fell asleep on the couch.  Her Bumble date alleges that he carried her to bed and he then fell asleep beside her. When he woke up at 6.30am, Lauren was not breathing and she had blood coming out of her nose.  He called 911 and was said by police to be “frantic, trembling, and visibly shaken.”  When authorities arrived, Lauren was pronounced dead at the scene.  The investigation into Lauren’s death has been botched from the start.  Lauren’s family have said that: Lauren’s Bumble date was not taken into custody and questioned because he seemed like a ‘nice guy’, according to police. They were not informed by authorities about Lauren’s death.  They had to find out by going to her apartment when they could not get in touch with her.  There they found a note on the door from the landlord, and that is how they learned their daughter had passed away.   Police treatment of the family has been horrible.  Police officers who were initially working the case have been taken off it, and an investigation into their conduct is being carried out by Internal Affairs. No forensic examination of Lauren’s apartment was conducted until the family stepped in.  When Lauren’s family went to clear out her apartment, they found a used condom, an unidentified pill, as well as bloody sheets, that had not been taken into evidence.   An autopsy was conducted and the Medical Examiner has determined that Lauren died from a drug overdose of fentanyl, promethazine, hydroxyzine, and alcohol.  Lauren’s family are adamant that she was not a drug user.  Because fentanyl was found in Lauren’s system, Bridgeport PD opened the investigation which will be conducted by the Narcotics and Vice Division with assistance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast where we discuss the death of Lauren Smith-Fields.You can read our deep dive blog for Lauren here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/01/27/23-year-old-lauren-smith-fields-found-dead-after-bumble-date/ This week, we also discuss the cases of Warriena Wright and Sydney Loofe.  Both these women died after meeting people on dating apps.  Warriena fell 14 floors to her death after she was allegedly locked on a balcony by a man she met on Tinder.  Sydney was brutally murdered by a couple, Bailey Boswell and Aubrey Trail, after she met Bailey on Tinder.  Sydney was dismembered and her body was hacked into 14 pieces.  If you are using a dating app this Valentine’s Day, please read these tips and be safe - https://www.rainn.org/articles/online-dating-and-dating-app-safety-tips You can listen on Apple here https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000550640561 and Spotify here – https://open.spotify.com/episode/5bYo4iT9lJSkImkuy8exAg?si=ro4Ez8OiS5SeOUnU5hYBew This week’s episode is sponsored by FitOn.  FitOn is the #1 premium free fitness app, and it is redefining the workout experience.

We hear almost daily about mothers and fathers killing their children, sometimes their entire family.  You would absolutely be familiar with Scott Peterson, Susan Smith and Chris Watts.What you hear less often is when children plot and scheme and murder their families. The term for this is either familicide if many family members are killed, or parricide if only parents are killed.Today on the the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss three cases of ‘Kids Who Kill’.-In 2015 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Robert and Michael Bever who were 18 and 16 at the time, went on a murderous rampage using knives and hatchets. They managed to murder their parents and three of their siblings before they were stopped by police.  The brothers had planned to go on a cross-country killing spree, hoping to kill over 100 people.  Thankfully, two Bever children survived and a lot of the testimony that was given helped to put Robert and Michael behind bars for good.  - Christopher Porco was in trouble in 2004.  He had forged his father’s signature on financial documents and had obtained fraudulent loans.  His parents were not happy and frequently told him so.  In November that year, Christopher drove from his dorm to the family home, where he attacked his parents with an axe. His father Peter Porco sustained 16 major axe wounds to his face and head including penetration to his brain and part of his jaw ‘ fell’ off following the attack.  Despite all this, Peter managed to get out of bed and go about his daily morning routine before dying.  He spent some time in the bathroom and at the sink, he loaded the dishwasher, packed his lunch for the day and wrote a check.  He finally collapsed and died at the front door.  Joan initially told police that Christopher was the attacker but then recanted.- The Van Breda family lived an affluent, high-flying life in South Africa.  Martin and Teresa were very successful and were raising three children Rudi, Henri and Marli. One night, an intruder allegedly broke into their mansion in a secure, gated community, murdering three members of the family with an axe.  Henri survived with minor injuries and Marli spent months in hospital recovering. Except it turns out, there was no intruder.  Henri had an alleged methamphetamine addiction and his allowance had been cut off by his parents, so he killed them.Please note that this episode contains recordings of 911 calls made by a child victim and one of the murderers.

Ethan Crumbley was a troubled teen.  His parents were called to Oxford High School on November 30 to discuss some drawings that Ethan had made. He drew photos of guns and blood with the words ‘the thoughts won’t stop help me.’His parents left Ethan at school following the meeting. A few hours later, Ethan went into the bathroom and emerged with a gun that his father had purchased in a Black Friday sale.  Ethan murdered four students on November 30, and many more were injured. Since the shooting, Ethan’s parents James and Jennifer have each been charged with involuntary manslaughter.  This has been a somewhat controversial topic - do you believe they should have been charged?In this week’s episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we talk about the Oxford High School shooting and the failing of the Crumbley family.  We discuss -  A timeline of the shootingEthan’s childhood and the Crumbley family dynamicsThe attempted escape and consequent arrest of James and Jennifer CrumbleyThe victims of the Oxford High School shooting You can read our deep dive blog on this case here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/01/22/the-oxford-high-school-shooting-and-the-failing-of-the-crumbley-family/You can listen on Apple here - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/were-red-flags-ignored-before-ethan-crumbley-turned/id1504300714?i=1000549130552Listen on Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5m7wmvX4ORXZcSciQ4EZJ5?si=IaXgw2ZSTmSFgXfevz4niQThank you to our sponsor BetterHelp!

Harmony Montgomery and Oakley Carlson lived on opposite sides of the country. They never met each other and neither had the chance to even live their own lives.Both Harmony and Oakley vanished while in the care of their parents - the very people who were meant to nurture, care and protect them.Harmony was last known to be alive in 2019.  She would be 7 years old if she is alive today.  Harmony’s early years were sad - both her parents had drug abuse issues and Harmony had been in foster homes.  She was eventually returned to the custody of her father Adam, and that decision sealed her fate. It finally came to light in 2021 that Harmony had not been seen for years.  Her biological mother has just now been speaking publicly and insists she has been trying to find Harmony.  Police have been searching the last locations in New Hampshire that Harmony was known to be at and nothing has been found.   Adam has now been arrested on charges related to the abuse and neglect of Harmony. Oakley Carlson also had a rough start to life.  She had been placed with a foster family when she was a baby and she lived with them for years.  The foster family have said publicly that they were devastated when Oakley was returned to the care of her biological parents. Her foster mother Jamie said  “They made a mistake. “A big mistake. I told them in my last letter it was going to be on their shoulders if something happens to her.”A school principal raised the alarm about not seeing Oakley in December 2021.  Police began to investigate and discovered that Oakley had not been seen since February 2021.Oakley’s parents Andrew Carlson and Jordan Bowers have been investigated and they have since been charged with apparently withholding potentially life saving medication from one of Oakley’s siblings. As of mid January 2022, there is no sign of either Harmony or Oakley.You can read our blog for Harmony here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/01/17/slipped-through-the-cracks-where-is-harmony-montgomery/And our blog for Oakley is here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/01/17/where-is-5-year-old-oakley-carlson/You can listen on Apple here - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000548437170And Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2RWhIfAbFiBVilgL7VF5lg?si=8RzqOPx6Qd2ca0Ohq3vdkw

TW - Drug and sexual abuse.On November 12, 2021, Christy Giles (24) and her friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola (26) made the fateful decision to spend a night out on the town together in LA.  The pair decided to go to a warehouse party and they carried on from there to an after party in the Hollywood Hills.Neither Christy or Hilda would make it home alive.The women would be dumped unconscious at separate hospitals more than 12 hours after they were last heard from.  Christy died on the scene and Hilda was declared brain dead not long after.Three men have been arrested in connection to the deaths of Christy and Hilda.  One of the men has a reputation that spans more than a decade - there are hundreds of comments about him on varying online pages that say he was allegedly a predator who had a penchant for drugging women.  We don't know yet how Hilda and Christy died - their causes of death are pending with the Los Angeles Medical Examiner.  This is their story to date.Be sure to check out our blog for a deep dive on this case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2022/01/11/a-hollywood-tragedy-the-deaths-of-christy-giles-and-hilda-marcela-cabrales-arzola/In this episode (skip to around 41 minutes), we give some updates on the cases of - - Missing child Lina Khil- Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie- An outcome in the murder of True Crime Society member Savannah PaschalYou can listen on Apple here - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000547749070You can listen on Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/3seQMg19EcxsXOh7kOCZE4?si=qfYAJrAwTsmr-yT6H9xrPQ

You can probably make a list of high profile missing child cases that you’ve heard of over the years - Cleo Smith, Elizabeth Smart and even Caylee Anthony. But there are thousands of missing children that slip through the cracks of the system, every single day. In 2020 in the US, over 30,000 juveniles were reported missing.  In the first episode of the True Crime Society podcast for 2022, we discuss the cases of missing children Michael ‘Monkey’ Vaughan and Dulce Alavez.Michael is a 5 year old, boisterous little boy who loved monster trucks and playing in the dirt.  He was playing Nintendo in July 2021, when his dad left the room to attend to Michael’s baby sister.  When his father returned, Michael was gone.  Now, six months later, no trace of Michael has been found and police believe he may have been abducted.In September 2019 in Bridgeton, NJ, Dulce Alavez and her little brother Manuel were treated to an ice cream by their mother, Noema.  They then went to the local playground to use the swings.  Noema helped a relative with some homework and when she looked up, Manuel’s ice cream was on the ground and he was crying.  Dulce was nowhere to be seen.   More than two years later, Dulce remains missing.  Police have released both a sketch of a possible suspect and an age progressed image of Dulce, to no avail.We also discuss the current case of missing child Lina Khil.  Lina went missing from a playground in San Antonio , TX in December 2021 .  Her mother allegedly turned away to get some water and Lina vanished within minutes.You can listen on Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/4BWnz4D8XbufW6y9PD6seY?si=eSXGpQARSxO0mI0H18BtxgAnd Apple here - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000547068268Thank you as always for listening x

On February 13, 2017, Liberty German (14) and her best friend Abigail Williams (13) had an extra day off school due to a snow day.  They had a sleepover and fatefully decided to go to the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana to hang out.They were dropped to the bridge at around 1.45pm on February 13 by Libby's sister.  This is the the last time the pair were seen alive.Libby and Abby were brutally murdered and their bodies were discovered the day after they went to the bridge - Valentines Day 2017.  Their case has had wide media coverage, partly due to footage that the girls took of the alleged suspect right before their murders.  There is some infamous audio of the suspect saying 'Guys, down the hill'.  There is also some fairly grainy video footage of the man that Libby shot with her phone. Now, almost five years on from the girls' murders, no arrest/s have ever been made in their case.  It almost seemed to be going cold. Until just a few days ago.  Indiana State Police made an appeal for information about an online user name - anthony_shotsThe anthony_shots profile was fake and used images of a known male model. The profile’s creator portrayed the model on his account to be extremely wealthy and showed him owning numerous sports cars.Very quickly, internet sleuths and media outlets tracked down a man who regularly used that user name - Kegan Kline.  Kegan is already in jail, arrested on 30 counts, including child exploitation, possession of child pornography and obstruction of justice.   Legal documents that have been made public prove that he used the name anthony_shots online.  Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss the murders of Libby and Abby, as well as the new information regarding Kegan Kline in relation to this case.You can listen on Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6rEJ7xLCqgl6onLzGEJuvF?si=FiVAHJA8QQ24Mb5JGHNidQYou can listen on Apple here - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000545130241Be sure to read our comprehensive blog on the case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2021/12/12/the-murders-of-liberty-german-and-abigail-williams/Thank you for listening x

Between 2009 and March 2016, authorities searching Boston area waterways recovered the bodies of at least 11 people, mostly young men, who had previously been reported missing.This happens across the world - from small towns to huge cities.  In England, 61 bodies, mostly of young men, were recovered from the canals of Greater Manchester between 2008 and 2014.Could all these deaths really just be accidents or is there something more at play here?Join us for this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast as we discuss the possibility of Smiley Face Killer/s being responsible for some of these disappearances and deaths.  Are a network of domestic terrorists working together to carry out these crimes?

Almost daily we hear of a case of a different missing man that vanishes after a night out with friends.  It happens everywhere - Boston, Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota.  Even in England.  Big cities and small towns.  The stories of these men play out in the same way.   Family and friends conduct desperate searches  and make frenzied social media posts in an attempt to find him before time runs out.  And then the worst happens,  a body is pulled from a lake or river, usually not far from where the man was last seen.    The search is over.Can all of these cases really be attributed to accidents?  Why do these cases seem to happen in clustered locations? In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we look at the cases of five men who were missing and later recovered in water.  We also discuss one current case where the man is still missing and a river is currently being searched:- Christopher Jenkins went missing from Minneapolis in 2002 on Halloween night.  His body was found in a river four months later.  Police originally classified his death as an accident and had to apologize to Chris' family when they determined it was actually likely a homicide.  - Zachary Marr went missing from a bar in Boston on February 13, 2016.  He had gone outside for a cigarette and messaged his friends that he wanted to leave.  In the matter of minutes while they were getting their coats, Zachary vanished into the night.  His body was found in a river one month after he disappeared and his death is thought to be accidental. - Dakota James was last seen alive on January 25, 2017 in Pittsburgh.  He was walking home after a night out with friends.  His body was pulled from a river 40 days later.  Dakota's family believe he had been drugged on the night he disappeared and that the condition of his body was too 'pristine'  to have been in the water for so long.  A smiley face was found spray painted on an underpass near where Dakota's body was found.  - Jelani Day went missing in August and his body was pulled from a river in September.  Pathologist Dr Jame Bryant said within his 50 years of experience he had never examined a body as destroyed as the 25-year-old.  - Dakota Bingham went missing from a bar in Nashville on October 10, 2021.  He called a Lyft to get home but never made the ride.  There is apparently CCTV of Dakota falling into the Cumberland River and struggling to swim.   His body was recovered just days after he disappeared.- Brendan Santo was visiting friends at Michigan State University on October 29.  He left to walk to another area and has not been seen since.  As of November 24, 2021, Brendan is still missing.  The Red Cedar River has been searched many times for him and police are hopeful of a breakthrough now that the water level is receding.  The FBI are also involved in the search for Brendan.You can read our blog for the men we discuss in this episode here - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2021/11/10/missing-men-and-waterways-what-is-going-on/In next week's episode, we delve more into the Smiley Face Killer theory, so make sure you listen to this one first!In terms of other updates, we also discuss the case of Jacob, Noah and Amber Clare.  Jacob abducted his son and niece and went on the run with them.  There is a lot going on - if you want to skip to the Clare update, goto 51.30 in the podcast. Spotify link - https://open.spotify.com/episode/34H1dMmMjZYO6sZ6p0aHN1?si=Xo16M11NRlq4NUASiGpYWgApple link - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000543019867Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the recent tragedy at the Astroworld Festival that was held in Houston, Texas.  Since the event, over TWO HUNDRED lawsuits have been filed against Travis, the event promoters and other parties.  For anyone who isn't familiar with Astroworld, it is/was an annual annual music festival that is run by Jacques Berman Webster II aka Travis Scott.  The 2021 event was scheduled for November 5-6 and 100,000 people were due to pour through the gates.  Things started going wrong very quickly.  Only an hour after the festival started on November 5, hundreds of people stampeded through VIP section barricades.  When Travis got on stage at around 8.45pm, the crowd was hyped up and going crazy.  Police had actually spoken to Travis before his set about the nervous crowd energy that existed.  A 'perfect storm' of circumstances led to mass hysteria and a crowd crush that involved thousands of people.  At the 2021 Astroworld Festival, 8 people died at the actual event and dozens more were hospitalized.  Two additional attendees have since passed from their injuries.This is a big episode and there is a lot to cover.  We delve into:- How Travis has cultivated an atmosphere of chaos and raging for years leading up to Astroworld 2021- What happened at Astroworld? What went wrong? Who is to blame? - Who are the victims and accounts from survivors - Tips to survive a crowd crush- Instagram comments/ questionsWe have more information on all the victims of this tragedy on our blog - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2021/11/16/tragedy-at-astroworld/Thank you as always for listening xSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Join Stephanie and Olivia this week as they cover the highly-requested, insane story of the abduction and safe (!) recovery of 4 y/o Cleo Smith in Western Australia.Cleo went on a camping trip with her Mum Ellie, Dad Jake and baby sister Isla on October 15.  The area where the family was camping was very beautiful but remote.  Cleo woke up at 1.30am on October 16 and asked her mum for a drink of water.    When Ellie woke up again at 6am, Cleo and her sleeping bag were missing from the tent.  One of the largest and most comprehensive police investigations ever undertaken in Australian history began at 6.23am on October 16.Drones and spy planes were used.  Hundreds of full-time police officers were assigned to Cleo's case and they worked tirelessly for weeks on end.  They even searched through tons of rubbish, collected from an area spanning thousands of kilometres, looking for the smallest clue.On November 6, 18 days after Cleo disappeared, the unexpected happened.  CLEO WAS FOUND SAFE!  She was found playing with toys at around 1am in a locked house just MINUTES from her own home.  A man named Terence Kelly has been arrested for Cleo's abduction and will face court again in December.And just when you think this story could not get any more unbelievable, it does.  Terence had an extensive social media presence, made up of fake accounts for 'family members' that he made up.  He also had a huge obsession with Bratz dolls - his house was a shrine to them.  Are these the toys that Cleo was found playing with?   Most of the accounts have been removed, but we have the receipts.  Terence even followed Cleo's parents on social media.  Was this really a random stranger abduction as per the police?  Or did Terence have an obsession with Cleo and her family?Make sure you check out our blog for the entire rundown of Cleo's case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2021/11/09/my-name-is-cleo/Thank you for listening!  Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Daniel Robinson disappeared from the desert in Buckeye, Arizona in June 2021.  He remains missing to this day.  In the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Daniel had been acting unusually.  He visited his sister and didn't utter a word during the whole visit.  He spoke to his friends about wanting to rest and about miracles.  He met a woman named Katelyn (he was her instacart shopper) and became infatuated with her.  Their 'relationship' culminated in Katelyn asking Daniel to leave her alone.  The final message he sent to Katelyn was "The world can get better, but I’ll have to take all the time I can or we can, whatever to name it. I’ll either see you again or never see you again."Daniel's Jeep was found wrecked a few weeks after he disappeared.  The clothes he had been wearing were found in the car, along with his keys, phone and wallet.  Investigators downloaded the black box from the car and found that someone had attempted to start it FORTY FOUR times following the last accident.  There had also been a prior accident that caused the airbags to deploy, and the car had been driven at least 11 miles following that crash.During the search for Daniel, a human skull was found in the area near his Jeep.  This turned out to be unrelated to Daniel's case.Daniel's family are calling for his case to be reclassified as an 'endangered missing person'.  This will enable them to further the investigation with warrants.Be sure to check out our blog to read the entire 54 page police report for Daniel's case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2021/11/03/danielrobinson/In other case updates this week:We chat about the status of the Brian/ Gabby case - 45:45There have been a few new updates regarding Jelani Day, who we covered in last week's episode - 48:11Abandoned Children in Houston (Gloria/ Brian) - 52:24Yesterday, there was  HUGE break in the case of missing child Cleo Smith in Australia.  She has been found ALIVE after more than two weeks.  We are planning to do an entire episode on Cleo for our next podcast.  Such a great outcome!  You can listen on Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Og3jpSoNlkswaJBfgzil4?si=2EyV7QkCTeC8tHO14lyxsgAnd Apple here - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000540699889Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

And then in June this year, Alex found Paul and Maggie murdered at one of the many homes they owned. Police have now reopened other cold cases in the area, looking for connections to the Murdaugh's. And to top it off, Alex allegedly paid someone to shoot him in the head in a suicide-for-hire insurance plot. In this episode we discuss (this synopsis is very general as I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone.  : - The reopening of the Stephen Smith case- New information from Connor Cook about the boat crash that killed Mallory Beach – Connor was aboard the boat on the night of the accident- Alex’s ‘suicide-for hire’ plot –  I can’t even begin to describe the whole debacle here- Alex’s resignation from his law firm and his entry into rehab- The ‘alleged’ misappropriation of funds by Alex from PMPED- Updates on the lawsuits surrounding the boat crash- More info on the Gloria Satterfield death settlement and Alex’s shady involvement in that case- And we finish up with Alex in jail! Be sure to check out our blog for the whole rundown on the Murdaugh case - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2021/10/13/m-is-for-murdaugh-a-saga-in-the-south/?fbclid=IwAR06bHzNvDCBjPiA5ClSKfDKnuW-eZhvg2o4vQstiqQ9hYnLXVHKMNwa_48Spotify link for this episode - https://open.spotify.com/episode/7CAlKdixjAQrCQ2O5y7Hj2?si=KPr0-O4SQM6brenpWAOX9gSpotify link for Part One - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2N6mcxxQwb7pcvjSNJyEAI?si=8oUJwXLvQR2jSrAkPEXTywApple link for this episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-crime-society/id1504300714?i=1000539256388Apple link for Part One - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

In this episode we start off with a brief Brian Laundrie/ Gabby Petito update before talking about the recent murders of 19-year-old Miya Marcano and baby Neveah Allen. Miya was murdered by a maintenance worker at her apartment complex and Neveah was murdered by her mother and stepfather who tried to fake an abduction.Then, we talk about the murder that changed reality tv casting forever. Ryan Jenkins, who starred in the early 2000s shows 'Megan Wants a Millionaire' and 'I Love Money,' murdered his wife Jasmine Fiore - who he had only met a few months prior. Jasmine had to be identified by her breast implant serial number due to her teeth and finger tips being removed. This is a crazy story that ends with a shocking twist. And, we read some interesting FindAGrave comments - because who even leaves comments on FindAGrave?Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

On September 11th, 22-year-old Gabby Petito was reported missing by her family after not hearing from her since the end of August. Gabby was on a cross country road trip and vlogging living out of a van with her fiance, Brian Laundrie. It wasn't strange for her to be out of service for small stretches of time, but the silence had gone too long.After she was reported missing, investigators discovered Brian returned to his Florida family home with the couple's van but without Gabby. Brian and his family immediately hired an attorney and gave no information about Gabby's whereabouts. The couple was last known to be visiting Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, which is where investigators began their search.On September 17th, Brian's parents arranged to meet with police - but it wasn't to discuss Gabby. They hadn't seen Brian for 3 days and wanted to report him missing. The manhunt for Brian began and the search for Gabby continued until her remains were discovered in a remote area of the national park on September 19th. Her death was determined to be a homicide.Brian remains missing.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

In this episode we go over some updates in the case against Barry Morphew, the husband of Suzanne Morphew who has been missing from Colorado for over a year. Then we talk about the mind-boggling unsolved murder of Judy Smith. Judy went missing from Philadelphia where she tagged along on her husband's worktrip. While he spoke at a conference, she went sightseeing around town but never turned up again that night. After 5 months of searching and some bizarre possible sightings of Judy, her remains were found near Asheville, North Carolina. Over a 9 HOUR DRIVE from Philadelphia! Even though her remains were skeletal, the medical examiner was able to determine Judy had been murdered. What happened to Judy? How did she get from Pennsylvania to North Carolina? Who did she meet along the way?

In this episode we cracked open the box of 'old cases' and pulled out a few John Does.First, we talk about the 4-6 year old Doe known as the "Boy in the Box." In 1957 this unidentified murder victim's battered body was found inside a bassinet box in the Fox Chase section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was determined the boy died of blunt force trauma. Investigators were puzzled because it appeared the boy had been abused and neglected but seemed well-groomed at the same time. Over the years this case garnered a lot of attention, but to this day the Boy in the Box remains unidentified - which has left us with some wild theories and ~*interesting*~ investigation tactics. Then, we talk about a few more lesser known John Does and for once, we leave you with a happy ending...

Today we are going to talk about two different cases of spousal murder that will leave you feeling very differently. The first is the murder of Pastor David Evans who's wife of 30 years, Kristie Evans, convinced their mutual lover to kill David. What was initially reported as a 'love triangle gone wrong' turned out to be something much darker. Kristie suffered years of abuse at the hands of her husband and was pressured into uncomfortable sexual situations to appease David's kinks. In March, 2021, Kristie had enough and arranged David's murder - which she eventually confessed to. Kristie's defense team will most likely argue that the years of abuse altered her mental state in order to reduce her sentence. Which raises the question, should victims of domestic abuse receive lesser murder sentences?The second case is the murder of 19 year old Caroline Crouch by her 33 year old husband Charalambos ‘Babis’ Anagnostopoulos. On May 11th, 2021, Caroline was found strangled to death and tied to her bed after what Babis claimed was a merciless robbery. He told police foreign robbers tied him up in the basement before murdering Caroline and their puppy, and ransacking the house for cash. Of course, this was all a lie to cover up the fact that Babis murdered Caroline after a heated argument. Police were able to use data from Caroline's smart watch to figure out when her heart stopped beating - which didn't match up with Babis's story. After confessing to what police already knew, Babis claimed Caroline was the aggressor and pushed him which left him in a 'blurred state of mind.' Believe us, there's A LOT to unpack with this one.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

In this episode we talk about 3 Jane Doe cases with some bizarre twists. First, is the Annandale Doe who was found with a plastic bag taped over her head in Babyland - the children's section of the Pleasant Valley Memorial Park Cemetery. We agree, Babyland is a terrible name, but that's besides the point. She was found with a small Christmas tree beside her, a Minnie mouse fanny pack and a vague suicide note.Next, we talk about the Seattle Doe known as Mary Anderson. Mary booked a two night stay at the Hotel Vintage Park to commit suicide by drinking Metamucil mixed with cyanide (ew). Judging by her belongings, Mary seemed well-off and investigators believed she was educated due to the fact that she was able to get cyanide. Along with another vague suicide note (see above), a pressed maple leaf was found in a newspaper Mary had been carrying. And lastly, we talk about the case of Jennifer Fairgate of Norway. This Doe brings us to another hotel called the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel. Somehow, Jennifer managed to book a 3 night stay without showing ID or paying upfront. After realizing Jennifer never paid for her room, a hotel employee went to speak with her only to hear a gunshot. After alerting their manager and breaking into the room, they found Jennifer dead with a bullet wound to her head. It looked like she committed suicide, but some things didn't add up. Jennifer's belongings (like a suitcase full of bullets??) and behavior leading up to her death has left people wondering if Jennifer could have been some sort of spy. A man who stayed in the room across from Jennifer did an interview and made a major red flag of a mistake leaving us to wonder if Jennifer was murdered.We also talk about how it's pretty much always a bad sign when a hotel room door is dead bolted, how all of these cases could have been solved if they happened today, and what we think may have happened to each doe. Be sure to follow us on Instagram to let us know what you think happened to these Does!Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

In this episode we give you a geography lesson on Australia and 'the bush' before diving into the case of missing 70-year-old campers, Russell Hill and Carol Clay. Senior citizens disappearing while camping in a dangerously rugged area? Seems pretty self-explanatory as to what happened. Except there is A LOT more to this story than meets the eye. As it turns out, Russell was married to another woman and had been having an affair with Carol for years. When police reached their campsite after the two were reported missing, they found it burned to the ground. The area has been searched numerous times, but there has been no sign of the pair.  At first, many people thought they ran off and started a new life together or that they got lost in the bush and died of exposure, but police believe a third party may be involved. Plus - stick around until the end to hear why our Facebook Page is similar to the Australian Bush (spoiler: it's because it's out of friggin CONTROL).Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

On April 7, 2021, 32-year-old former NFL player Phillip Adams shot and killed six people, including two young children, at a home in Rock Hill, South Carolina before killing himself.The victims of the attack were Phillip's doctor, Robert Lesslie, his wife, their two grandchildren, and two air conditioner technicians who were working at the home.A motive hasn't been confirmed, but it's been said that Dr. Lesslie had discontinued prescribing Phillip pain medication that he was prescribed after suffering multiple injuries and concussions in the NFL.Phillip's family say that his mental state had rapidly deteriorated over the last few months and believe head trauma from his football career is to blame.His brain will be tested for CTE as part of his autopsy, but the results can take a few months. In this episode, we continue our overall discussion on CTE in regard to WWE Superstar Chris Benoit (Part 1) and Phillip Adams.**Note: There have already been a few minor updates to Phillip's case that we will talk about briefly in our next episode**Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

When someone is reported missing, it's generally safe to assume they're not in their house. Surely, the police or the family would have checked there already. Except sometimes, after the headlines, the search parties, and the emotional public pleas from family members - that's exactly where the person turns up.In this episode, we cover a handful of cases where this phenomenon happened and the theories surrounding them.

The last known sighting of Michael Shaver was in November 2015. It took over two years for friends and family to realize he was missing because someone was responding to his messages and updating his social media pretending to be him.

While hiking in Big Cypress National Preserve, two friends stumbled upon an emaciated man's remains in a tent along the trail. The man had no identification, no cell phone, no bank cards and didn't come up in any of the police's databases.After releasing a composite sketch of the man, a handful of fellow hikers, hostel proprietors and trail angels came forward saying they met this man along his journey from NY to FL. They knew stories about him and even had photos of him, but they only knew him as "Denim" or "Mostly Harmless" - his trail names. It seemed like no one knew his true identity and that was they way he wanted it.It's been 2 years since Mostly Harmless's remains were found in July 2017 and he has yet to be identified. The Collier County Sheriff's Office hasn't given up and is pursuing genealogy testing in hopes to locate a relative.
