She saw what she thought was her ride: a black Chevy Impala. She got into that car and that was the last time she was ever seen alive again. 
The Uber was not actually an Uber: in fact, it was a regular car driven by Nathaniel Roland, a 24-year-old opportunistic criminal. When Sami was found the next day by turkey hunters in a rural, wooded area, she was dead. She had been murdered and had 50 stab wounds all over her body.
This case would rock the world of ride share companies and riders alike. Because of Sami's misfortune, safety laws would need to be amended throughout the US so that something like this could never happen again.

But on March 15th, alarms were raised when friends and family could not get ahold of either Cristie or JT.

And there was another issue: Catherine was extremely mentally ill and had been since middle school. She had been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. Her mental issues were only exacerbated by having children so close together. By Christmas of 2013, she was committed involuntarily to a psych ward. 

But she checked herself out, and, over the next few months, was in and out of mental facilities. Her family decided that she was not allowed to be with her children alone. Until September 8, 2014, when Sarah Hoggle was three years old and Jacob Hoggle was only two, did the unthinkable happen.

Have you ever wondered what Christmas was like, not just in your neck of the
woods, but in Western Europe, the Nordic countries, Africa, the Middle East,
even India? Introducing Christmas Around the World, a new podcast coming
this holiday season. With Christmas Around the World, I take a look at not just
how Christmas is celebrated everywhere, but other holidays like Kwanza,
Hannukah, Navaratri, Diwali and many more.

Did you know that the movie Krampus from 2015 was based on a real Austro-Bavarian devil monster character from the 1500s? He came to collect all the naughty children to take
back to his mountain lair to kill and eat. A kind of anti-Santa Claus that the
modern day character of the Grinch was based off of? Or that during Diwali,
the Hindu harvest festival of lights that is celebrated around the globe, more
than $300 million dollars per year is spent on fireworks alone? Imagine
celebrating Christmas on the sand with a barbeque and a picnic playing
beach volleyball like they do in South Africa. Did you know while most Biblical
scholars agree that at least one of the Three Wise Men came from the Middle
East to worship Jesus, that one or more of them could have been from China
or India ? There also is no consensus that they were three in number, some
debate there could have been 2, 4, 8 or even 12 Kings who made the journey.
And Did you know that instead of a jolly, Santa Claus type being the figure
representative of the season, both Italy and Iceland revere a good and an evil
witch, respectively ?

Learn about all of this and so much more like decor, food, religions and the holiday traditions that make the world go round during the very best time of the year. I will also be featuring interviews with special guests from around the globe who can tell us, in their own words, what
special Christmas, religious, solstice and harvest festival holidays are like for
them. Christmas Around the World premieres Tuesday, November 4th with a
new episode every Tuesday. Available wherever you get your podcasts. And
for more holiday mystery fun don’t forget to check out all three seasons of The
Evergreen Murders with The Evergreen Murders: A Mackenzie Monroe
Christmas Mystery, Murder at Mistletoe Manor and Return to Evergreen.

Keith Hascock had abducted a 14-year-old girl in a neighboring town, but the girl had escaped. As police narrowed in on Keith Hascock, another young girl in Challis, Idaho, 9-year-old Stephanie Crane, was also kidnapped and never seen again. Was Keith Hascock responsible for all of these abductions and possible murders? Or was it the work of other child kidnappers and killers in Idaho?

The couple had three children. But things were not as they seemed. Herb and Julie's marriage was falling apart, the Sav-A-Lot stores were going bankrupt, and Herb had a massive secret.
While Julie and the kids were at Lake Wawasee in the summer months of 1994, Herb was at home every Friday night, prowling the gay bars of Indianapolis. It was there that he would pick up gay and/or drug-addicted men, take them back to his mansion on a property called Fox Hollow Farm, have sex with them, and kill them. As more and more gay men started going missing from the Indianapolis area in the summer of 1994, Herb Baumeister was just getting started.

She had befriended her neighbors, Alan and Wendy Lively, after her husband passed away, and they introduced her to Alan's elderly stepfather, Dwayne Heimer, who was dying of cancer. Lisa and Dwayne soon began dating and Lisa moved in with him. Not long after, Dwayne changed his will to leave Alan and Wendy and their two children completely out of it. This created a rift between Lisa and the Lively family which included Alan and Wendy's two adopted children. In June 2017, Lisa Stuckey was found inside her home, brutally beaten to death, and the killer would turn out to be the most unexpected person of all.

10 years earlier, Mechele Linehan, formerly Mechele Hughes, was a stripper at The Great Alaskan Bush Company in Anchorage, Alaska, and that is where she met Kent Leppink. And Scott Hilke. And John Carlin. All three men fell hopelessly in love with the young stripper, and all three proposed. This led to an unbelievable love quadrangle in which all four lived together, along with John Carlin's teenage son. But soon enough, the love quadrangle crumbled, and greedy Mechele set her sights on some insurance money she had wrapped up in a policy taken out on unassuming and naiive Kent. Shortly thereafter, all four individuals would be wrapped up in a murder mystery involving broken hearts, broken promises and even a letter from beyond the grave.
