In 1974, 17-year-old Carla Jan Walker was abducted from a parking lot in Fort Worth, Texas after a night out with her boyfriend.

Her murder shocked the community and left investigators with more questions than answers. For decades, the case went cold… and suspicion lingered on the one person who witnessed it all. Her boyfriend Rodney McCoy.

Nearly 50 years later, a breakthrough in DNA technology would finally reveal the truth and bring long awaited justice.

The murder trial for 36-year-old Michael King began in August of 2008. Prosecutors presented overwhelming evidence against King, much of it recovered due to Denise Lee’s heroic actions. 

It only took two hours for the jury to return their verdict.

In the years after Denise’s murder countless lives have been saved through the Denise Amber Lee Foundation.

In January of 2008, 21-year-old Denise Lee was abducted from her home in North Port, Florida.

As the crime unfolded a series of 911 calls were placed, one by Denise herself. Covertly she told the operator that she had been abducted from her home on Latour Avenue. 

Another witness called to report a kidnapping in progress but a deputy was never dispatched. An error in communication likely cost Denise Lee her life.

On February 20th, 2021, 32-year-old Pamela Cabriales was on her way home after a night out with a friend. 

After a minor fender bender at Colfax Avenue and I-25, a male exited the passenger side of the vehicle and shot into Pamela’s car, killing her. 

Police later apprehended 14-year-old Remi Cordova, 18-year-old Neshan Johnson, and another unnamed juvenile. 

By the time the case made it to trial, they were all pointing the finger at each other and arguing over why Pamela Cabriales had been murdered.

In the early morning hours of March 12th, 2024, police were dispatched to a home in Lawtey, Florida after a 911 hang up call.

When officers arrived, they found 46-year-old Johnnie Brown outside with a laceration to his arm.

As officers spoke to Brown, an 11-year-old girl ran outside and told police that her grandmother and two of her aunts were dead. 

Officers found 49-year-old Qanique Robinson, 27-year-old Danesha Sims, and 25–year-old Wynshay Roddey deceased in a bedroom. 

Brown would claim that he had shot the three women in self-defense — but is that what really happened?

**Quick Correction: In the episode, I discuss that Jennifer had hit the Mary Kay rank of earning the Pink Cadillac based on source material I had found. In talking with her niece, she let me know that while she was a highly ranked sales director and on her way to it, she hadn't quite reached that rank. This is relevant for accuracy (which I value) and for perspective on what inventory and sales she would have had to maintain for rank.

After the disappearances of nine-year-old Andrew, seven-year-old Alexander, and five-year-old Tanner Skelton, their father, 39-year-old John Skelton kept changing his story.

After investigators proved that Joann Taylor didn’t exist, John kept changing his story, even from behind bars. 

Over a decade passed when the boys' mother, Tanya Zuvers, petitioned the court to have her sons declared legally dead. Days before John Skelton was to be released from prison, a shocking announcement was made. 

If you have any information about the disappearance or whereabouts of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton, you are urged to contact the Michigan State Police at 1-517-636-0689, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST, that’s 1-800-843-5678.

In the fall of 2010, 43-year-old Tanya Skelton and 39-year-old John Skelton were going through a bitter divorce.

Caught in the middle were their three boys: nine-year-old Andrew, seven-year-old Alexander, and five-year-old Tanner Skelton.

Over the Thanksgiving Holiday while the boys were with John Skelton, they mysteriously vanished. John claimed the boys were with a woman named Joann Taylor, but investigators could find no proof that Joann Taylor ever existed. 

If you have any information about the disappearance or whereabouts of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton, you are urged to contact the Michigan State Police at 1-517-636-0689, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST, that’s 1-800-843-5678.

On April 17th, 1994, 19-year-old Tina Livernash Heins was found brutally murdered in her apartment in Mayport, Florida. 

Tina was a newlywed and four months pregnant at the time. Her husband, Jeremy Heins was serving in the Navy and on duty on the USS Leyte Gulf the night his wife was murdered. 

That left Tina alone in the apartment with her brother-in-law, Chad Heins. Chad claimed he was feet away asleep on the couch when someone came in, murdered Tina, and set fires in the apartment. 

Chad Heins was convicted of Tina’s murder and sentenced to life in prison. However, evidence, both new and old, came to light that changed everything.

On May 19th, 2017, 15-year-old Sophie Reeder left her home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She was never seen again.

Initially Fort Lauderdale Police thought Sophie was just another teenage runaway.

But cell phone records tracked Sophie to the home of 37-year-old Leonard “Jay” Jennings. Jennings and his family denied ever knowing Sophie. But that was a lie.

Where is Sophie Reeder?

Sophie was approximately 5’1” and 100 lbs. at the time of her disappearance, with brown curly hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a brown leopard print coat, a black dress, red Converse sneakers, and white headphones.

The Fort Lauderdale Police Department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for credible information that leads to the recovery of Sophie Reeder.

Anyone with information about Sophie’s disappearance is asked to call the Fort Lauderdale Police Department at 954-828-6677.

As the investigation into the murder of 19-year-old Lisa Au continued, the “second suspect” garners suspicion.

Was that recovered evidence an indication of a police coverup?

After 12-year-old, Sarah Cherry was found murdered, Dennis Dechaine was taken into custody.

The statements he made to police after those cuffs were slapped on were concerning to say the least.

By the time the case made it to trial, the evidence was stacked against Dechaine. But his defense team had a trick card up their sleeve.

Would the jury believe Dennis' new story?

After police identified Terry Peder Rasmussen as the man who had killed at least six people across the United States, they were still working to identify the four victims found outside of Bear Brook Park.

Thirty years after the first two blue barrels were found, the case was cracked twice independently and nearly simultaneously in the span of a week.

On June 6th, 2019, The New Hampshire State Attorney's Office announced to the public that three of the four victims had been identified: Marlyse Honeychurch, Marie Vaughn and Sara McWaters.

In 1985 in Allenstown, New Hampshire, a blue barrel with the remains of a woman and a young child were discovered in the woods near Bear Brook State Park.

Fifteen years later, a cold case detective made another grisly discovery, another blue barrel and two more victims, both of them children.

As investigators began to retrace the steps of the man they knew as Curtis Kimball, they discovered that he had a connection to New Hampshire and the site where the remains had been found.

After several decades, investigators finally discovered the true identity of a serial killer.

The two women had more than just their name in common, they were both living on Hayward Street. 

But unlike Denise Daneault, Denise Beaudin wasn’t reported missing until thirty five years after she disappeared.

At the time of her disappearance Denise was 25 years old, 5’5, approximately 135 pounds with brown hair and brownish green eyes. She was last seen wearing a brown print skirt. 

Denise Beaudin vanished on November 26th, 1981 from Manchester, New Hampshire. She was last seen at her family’s home in Goffstown. She was 23 years old, approximately 5’5, 140 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Denise has a distinct overbite.

On May 13, 1998, an unsettling discovery was made beneath a billboard in Mebane, NC - the lifeless body of a young boy. This tragic finding raised haunting questions: Who was this child? Had he been murdered elsewhere before being dumped in this desolate spot, perhaps weeks earlier?

What added to the mystery was the heartbreaking reality that no one had reported a little boy missing, leaving his identity shrouded in darkness. Whith scant evidence on the scene and the body, the case went cold.

Yet, amidst this despair, one determined investigator refused to give up. Driven by an unwavering commitment to justice, they continued to search for answers. And then, in an astonishing turn of events in December 2018, the truth finally came to light; the identity of the boy was uncovered.

This is more than just a story of loss; it's a testament to perseverance, the relentless pursuit of justice, and the hope that even in the darkest times, the truth can find a way to emerge. Join us as we delve into this gripping tale of mystery and resolution.

Dig in with Margot, as she tells you the gripping mystery and resolution of the murders of Bobby Whitt and Myong Whitt.

In November of 2007,  68-year-old, Sara Dixon was found shot to death inside her home in Burlington, North Carolina. 

From the moment investigators arrived at the home on McCray Road it appeared that the scene had been staged to look like a robbery gone wrong. While it appeared nothing of value had been taken, there were several clues left behind; Christmas tinsel stuck to the door, an empty picture hanger, and a footprint in the carpet. 

A year after Sara’s murder a man walked into the police station and gave investigators a small piece of information that unraveled the entire case.

But I thought I'd take this opportunity to re-release arguably the most important episode I've ever recorded. Every episode is important but, in this case, we have the chance to make a huge difference. To this day, the Judge Rotenberg Center is still using electric shock therapy on 53 autistic and/or disabled human beings.

I covered the history of the Judge Rotenberg Center from it's beginning to current day in a seven-part mini-series (episodes 27-34 -originally released 8/5/21). You can binge them or listen to this episode as a stand-alone. This is my interview with the incredible Jen Msumba. Everyone should hear and know her story.

Jennifer Msumba: 

https://www.jennifermsumba.com/

Employee X, Lemonade, and a survivor.

Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton, Massachusetts is a day and residential school treating children from as young as five, all the way through adulthood with intellectual disabilities, psychiatric issues and those on the autism spectrum since 1971. 

JRC has been surrounded in controversy with allegations of abuse since it was founded by Matthew Israel. 

Something that experts and the United Nations deem as torture. Something the FDA banned but is still being used as a treatment today, the Graduated Electronic Decelerator.
