8 MAY 2026 · Behind a grocery store in Bethany, Oklahoma, a foul odor led to a duffel bag—and inside was the dismembered remains of 19-year-old Carina Saunders. Her head, hands, and feet had been sawn off, and someone had tried to cut a tattoo from her back to prevent identification. The horror was just beginning.
In this episode, we investigate the 2011 murder of Carina Saunders, a young woman whose death became a nightmare labyrinth of human trafficking ring theories, a mysterious cell phone video, and shocking witness accounts. Two men—former teacher Luis Ruiz and Jimmy Massey—were arrested and charged, accused of torturing Carina to intimidate others in an alleged drug and trafficking network [citation:1][citation:8]. A witness described seeing her tied to a table and having her foot sawed off while alive [citation:7].
But despite these chilling accounts, the charges were dismissed in 2013 due to lack of evidence [citation:3]. The case remains unsolved, haunted by rumors of a video of the killing that police have never been able to recover. We examine: Who was Carina? Why did friends beg her not to leave in that red pickup truck? And why, more than a decade later, is the person responsible still walking free?

8 MAY 2026 · "She didn't just pull the trigger. She recorded the entire shooting on her phone—then used the footage to audition for a horror movie where her character commits an eerily similar murder."
In this chilling true crime episode, we investigate the case of Aisling "Tucker" Moore-Reed, a 30-year-old actress and blogger who shot her uncle Shane Moore dead on July 26, 2016, at her grandmother's home in Jackson County, Oregon [citation:1][citation:7].
The shooting stemmed from a bitter family dispute over a property deed. As a notary public looked on, Moore-Reed's mother, Kelly, ripped up legal documents, triggering a confrontation with Shane at the front door [citation:7]. Cell phone footage—recorded by Moore-Reed herself—captured her yelling "You son of a b*tch! Get out of here!" before firing a single fatal shot from just inside the doorway [citation:1].
She initially claimed self-defense, citing a prior restraining order against her uncle. But the video told a different story. Prosecutors noted she sounded "angry that he wasn't dead" and that she had reloaded the gun after firing a test shot earlier that morning [citation:1][citation:7].
Remarkably, while out on bail, Moore-Reed landed the lead role in the indie horror film *From the Dark* under the pseudonym Wyn Reed—playing a woman who kills in self-defense. The film's directors had no idea about her charges [citation:3]. The day after filming wrapped in 2018, her charges were upgraded to murder, and she was rearrested [citation:3].
In May 2020, she pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 75 months (6 years, 3 months) in prison [citation:2][citation:7]. Listener discretion advised.

8 MAY 2026 · "She smiled at the jury. She waved at her former student in the gallery. Then she sat down and told detectives she was 'just trying to help.'"
In this gripping true crime episode, we examine the chilling interrogation of a third-grade teacher who believed her reputation, her charm, and her years of dedicated service would shield her from suspicion. But when detectives presented the evidence—digital footprints, contradictory statements, and a witness she never expected—her classroom composure shattered.
Using interrogation transcripts and body language analysis, we walk through her initial confidence ("I would never hurt anyone, I teach children"), her mid-interview contradictions, and the exact moment she realized her alibi had collapsed. Featuring criminal psychologists who explain the "halo effect" in investigations—the dangerous assumption that trusted professionals cannot be killers—and interrogation experts who reveal how detectives chip away at professional facades.
No graphic violence—just the psychological unraveling of a woman who thought her badge of trust made her untouchable. Listener discretion advised.

8 MAY 2026 · "He didn't find a clue. He didn't stumble upon a body. He did something even more unexpected—he spent years building a family tree so detailed that when police gave him a killer's DNA, he handed them a name within months."
In this fascinating true crime episode, we investigate the case of Eric Schubert—a 10-year-old who began tracing his own family tree as a hobby, memorizing license plates and solving historical puzzles for fun. By 21, he had cracked a 57-year-old cold case that had stumped over 250 Pennsylvania State Police investigators for decades: the 1964 murder of 9-year-old Marise Chiverella [citation:5].
We analyze how Schubert's childhood passion for genealogy (picked up at age 8, turned into a serious pursuit by 10) evolved into a weapon for justice. Using public DNA databases and old-fashioned family tree research, he narrowed thousands of genetic matches down to one suspect: James Forte, a local bartender who died in 1980. Forte's body was exhumed, DNA confirmed—and a case that had haunted Pennsylvania for nearly six decades was finally solved.
Featuring forensic genealogists, cold case investigators, and Schubert's own reflections on how a 10-year-old's hobby became a detective's superpower. Press play for the story where childhood curiosity caught what the system couldn't.

8 MAY 2026 · "He was only 14. And when he picked up the knife, it wasn't his idea." The mother didn't just approve—she orchestrated everything. What makes a woman turn one child into a weapon against another?
In this disturbing true crime episode, we investigate cases where mothers manipulated one child to murder another—and the interrogation transcripts that reveal how such evil hides behind a smile.
Cyndi Proctor, 43, convinced her son, Daniel Proctor, 17, that his 15-year-old brother would be "happier in heaven." She bought the knife and drove him to the location. Daniel stabbed his brother 31 times. Cyndi was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole.
We also examine the psychological dynamic: maternal coercion, the "golden child vs. scapegoat" dynamic, and how mothers weaponize sibling rivalry into deadly obedience. Featuring criminal psychologists and interrogation experts. Listener discretion advised.

4 MAY 2026 · "He posted a TikTok dancing twelve hours after the murder. He smiled. He laughed. He had no idea that a doorbell camera had recorded every single second — including the gunshot and his panicked voice saying 'why did you make me do this?'"
In this gripping true crime episode, we investigate cases where killers filmed themselves living normally after murder — unaware that surveillance cameras had already sealed their fate. Using interrogation transcripts, social media timestamps, and video evidence descriptions, we analyze the psychological disconnect of murderers who believe they've committed the perfect crime. We explore the "innocent act" they perform for detectives, their confusion when confronted with footage, and the exact moment their performance collapses. Featuring digital forensics experts, homicide detectives, and prosecutors who explain how Ring cameras, dashcams, and even suspects' own phones have become the most powerful tools in modern law enforcement. No graphic violence — just the satisfying moment when a killer realizes his alibi has been recorded. Press play for the cases where posting on social media was the last mistake they ever made.

4 MAY 2026 · "He rented the van. He bought the handcuffs. He hired the men. Then he smiled at the detectives and said 'I'm the victim here.'" But the camera he forgot about recorded everything — including his own voice saying: "She'll have to die."
In this chilling true crime interrogation episode, we examine the case of Louisiana millionaire Lawrence Michael Handley, who plotted to kidnap and kill his estranged wife Schanda in August 2017 [citation:3][citation:4]. Two men posing as deliverymen broke into her home while her 14-year-old daughter watched, forced Schanda into a van at gunpoint, stripped her, and forced pills into her mouth. She was rescued when an off-duty deputy spotted the van acting erratically [citation:3].
After a four-day manhunt, police found Handley at a motel with $10,000 cash, burner phones, and a to-do list that ended with "finish job" [citation:6]. But the smoking gun? A security camera he accidentally activated, recording him planning the kidnapping and saying "kill her… kill her" to himself [citation:4][citation:6]. Handley pleaded guilty and received 35 years [citation:8]. Schanda says: "Once Michael's out, I'm no longer free."

4 MAY 2026 · "He wiped down every surface. He wore gloves. He even changed his clothes." But he forgot to check under the bed — where a 7-year-old was hiding, clutching a stuffed animal, trying not to breathe. The killer walked free for two years. Then the little girl finally told her mother what she saw.
In this harrowing true crime episode, we investigate the case of a murderer who believed he had committed the perfect crime — no DNA, no witnesses, no confession. But one witness was too small to reach the doorknob. Using trial transcripts, child interview recordings (expertly conducted by forensic psychologists), and the eventual interrogation transcript, we walk through how police built a case around the testimony of a first-grader. The killer's confidence in the interrogation room is stunning — until the detective mentions the child's name, and his face goes slack. Featuring experts in child testimony, memory formation, and the controversial but powerful tool of child witnesses in murder trials. Listener discretion advised — adult content, but no graphic descriptions involving the child. Press play for the story of justice that came from under a bed.

4 MAY 2026 · "He didn't know the webcam was still recording. He thought he had committed the perfect crime — no witnesses, no evidence, no one to tell." But the laptop on the desk had been streaming the entire time. And when police pulled the footage, they didn't need a confession. They just pressed play.
In this gripping true crime episode, we analyze cases where hidden cameras, Ring doorbells, dashcams, and even the suspect's own devices captured murder in real time — turning the killer into an unwilling star of his own prosecution. Using interrogation transcripts and video evidence descriptions, we walk through the moment detectives confront suspects with footage they didn't know existed. From a neighbor's security camera catching a body disposal, to a suspect's own livestream accidentally recording an argument, to a fitness tracker that logged a fatal blow — we explore how technology has become the most honest witness in the courtroom. Featuring digital forensics experts, prosecutors, and the investigators who have learned to look for cameras everywhere. No graphic violence — just the cold, hard truth that someone is always watching. Press play for the cases where the camera didn't lie.

4 MAY 2026 · "She told everyone her son ran away. She filed a missing person report. She even held a press conference begging for his safe return." But when officers finally searched the one place no one thought to look—her own garage—they found a child's remains stuffed in a trash can. The person who claimed to love him most had hidden him like garbage.
In this disturbing true crime episode, we investigate the case of a mother who allegedly killed her young son, then concealed his body in a trash can for weeks while maintaining a public facade of grief. Based on police affidavits and crime scene reports, we reconstruct the timeline: the last time the boy was seen alive, the mother's unexplained scratches, and the cadaver dog's alert on the garage. The interrogation transcript shows her story shifting from "he wandered off" to "I don't remember," and finally to a confrontation with the physical evidence. Featuring commentary from child abuse investigators, forensic pathologists, and prosecutors who explain how detectives distinguish between genuine grief and performative mourning. Listener discretion is absolutely required due to the nature of the case. Press play to hear how a routine welfare check uncovered a parent's darkest betrayal.
