Cold moorland, five vanished children, and a man who treated the search like entertainment - one child was never found while photographs and coded plans chronicled the rest. How can ordinary life hide such deliberate cruelty, and where does the missing boy remain?

In this episode, we trace the timeline, the people, and the physical evidence left behind on Saddleworth Moor and in Manchester, asking whether the details the police uncovered finally explain the silence that continues to this day.

Person: Ian Brady
Person: Myra Hindley
Location: Saddleworth Moor, twelve miles from Manchester
Period: 1963-1965
Event: Five children disappeared; four bodies recovered

- On October 6, 1965, 27-year-old Ian Brady killed a man with an axe in front of 17-year-old David Smith.
- Hindley was 23 and Brady 27 when they worked together at a chemical supply company in Gorton in the early 1960s.
- Five children disappeared between 1963 and 1965: Pauline Reed (16), John Kilbride (12), Keith Bennett (12), Leslie Anne Downey (10), and Edward Evans (17).
- Police found an album of photographs showing Hindley standing above graves, and one photo positioned directly over John Kilbride’s burial site.
- Investigators discovered a coded plan in Brady’s cartera and a left luggage ticket in Hindley’s prayer book that led to two suitcases at Manchester Central Station.

A photograph shows a fourteen-year-old girl chained and bruised in a barn, eyes vacant in a stare that had already accepted what was coming next-taken minutes before she died. The FBI later estimated the same trucker may have been responsible for roughly forty-five homicides; how did so many deaths go unlinked for so long?

In this episode, we follow the evidence found in a truck, an apartment, and a stack of photographs to trace what investigators knew and when they knew it, asking how a single arrest revealed only a fraction of the suspected killings.

Person: Robert Ben Rhodes
Date: April 1, 1990
Location: Interstate Ten near Casa Grande, Arizona
Victim: Regina Walters, age 14
Confirmed murders: 3

- Trooper Michael Miller found a naked woman chained in the sleeper berth on April 1, 1990.
- Rhodes was 44 years old at the time of the April 1990 arrest.
- FBI Behavioral Science Unit later assessed Rhodes was likely responsible for approximately 45 homicides.
- Investigators recovered a white towel with a substantial amount of blood in Rhodes’ Houston apartment.
- Photographs in Rhodes’ apartment showed the same young woman with bruises in different colors, indicating injuries across multiple days.

A woman shot once, at close range, less than a block from her front door on a quiet Fountain Valley morning-no motive, no prints, and a single nine-millimeter casing left like a period on the pavement. Witnesses described a calm Black man who walked back to a white compact car and left; nearly a year later detectives still had no answer. How did one small, accidental detail change everything about why Janie Carver died?

In this episode, we follow the timeline of Janie Carver’s killing and the exhaustive early work by Fountain Valley detectives, from the crime scene details to the hundreds of thousands of flyers and the $50,000 reward, as one lead eventually emerges from outside the city; could a connection ten months later finally explain the shooting?

Person: Janie Carver
Date: June 11, 1995
Location: Fountain Valley, California
Weapon evidence: one nine-millimeter shell casing
Reward offered: $50,000

- Janie Carver was 46 years old and a flight attendant who lived less than one block from the shooting location.
- The shooting occurred at approximately 8:00 AM on Saturday, June 11, 1995, as Janie returned from her usual run.
- Witnesses reported a Black male of medium build who fired one shot, walked calmly back to a small white compact car, and drove away.
- Investigators distributed roughly 250,000 flyers across Southern California and circulated a composite drawing without generating a tip that identified the shooter.
- Janie’s husband, Al Carver, underwent a polygraph the day before Thanksgiving 1995 and was cleared after detectives found no motive in her relationships or finances.

She sat in a prison interview room and said she would not be eligible for parole until 2028 - when she would be ninety-seven - after already serving twenty-three years; the state of Missouri had decided that was fair. The detail that refused to let go was this: her lawyer instructed her not to mention that she had been chained to a bathroom wall, locked in a basement for five days, and forced into prostitution and theft - so who, then, did the law actually protect?

In this episode, we tell the story of Shirley Lou Luet and the legal framework that silenced evidence of long-term abuse, covering the events from her childhood sale to her incarceration and the later legal efforts to reopen her case. How did a rule about battered spouse evidence transform into a mechanism that helped convict her?

Person: Shirley Lou Luet
Event: Chained to a bathroom wall and left; locked in basement for five days without food or water
Date: Missouri recognized battered spouse syndrome as a legal defense in 1987
Period: She had already served twenty-three years by the time she was told parole would be in 2028
Organization: Missouri Battered Women's Clemency Coalition reviewed her case in 1998

- She was seventy years old when told she would not be eligible for parole until 2028.
- She had already been incarcerated for twenty-three years at that point.
- She was chained close enough to a bathroom that she could barely reach it, then driven away by Melvin.
- She was locked in a basement for five days without food or water after trying to leave.
- In 1998, four Missouri law schools formed a coalition that reviewed twelve cases, including hers, and advanced eleven.

A ripped page left a ghost: indentations on a notepad revealed a poem about a body in a bathtub signed "the angel of mercy" - and the man who wrote it had already killed twice. What did those faint impressions hide, and why did two neighbors end up arranged in bathtubs with dozens of stab wounds?

In this episode, we tell the story of the crimes, the evidence found in Waterford Drive, and the moments that turned routine welfare checks into murder investigations - all leading back to one man and one overlooked clue: could an impression on paper solve the case?

Person: Andrew Dawson
Person: Dave Matthews
Person: Paul Hancock
Date: 25 July 2010
Location: Waterford Drive, Derby

- Dave Matthews was found in a bathtub on 25 July 2010 with 18 stab wounds.
- Investigators initially assessed Matthews' death as a fall before autopsy revealed 18 stab wounds and clothing had been changed.
- Paul Hancock, living one floor above Matthews, was found later with 22 stab wounds and had been dead about five days.
- Andrew Dawson was 48 in summer 2010 and had previously killed Henry Walsh in August 1981 at age 18.
- Henry Walsh had £1,800 hidden in his property; Dawson withdrew £50 from Walsh's pension book after the murder.

He bought a double-bladed Commando knife on his forty-ninth birthday and drove it back along the North Wales coast, the weapon sitting on the passenger seat beside him. A man who owned three cinemas and wore black leather almost every day confessed to four murders and admitted to nearly fifty attacks on men across two decades - so how did he remain invisible to everyone around him for so long?

In this episode, we follow the timeline from the purchase at an armory in Rhyl to the discovery of a body on Anglesey and the door knock in Kinmel Bay, describing the people, places, and items that tied the case together and asking how a respected local businessman could harbor a secret life of violence.

Person: Peter Howard Moore

A rain-soaked bus stop, an umbrella turned into a water-filled bowl, and a DNA profile that sat unnamed for thirteen years - what connects a fifteen-year-old found alive against a school wall to crimes in another city? How did one shoe and a frozen queue of unprocessed samples finally point detectives to a killer?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the night Evelina LeBlanc left a football game to the discovery at Jefferson Elementary, the stalled investigation, and the later violent attack in Portland whose evidence intersected with the cold DNA. Follow the trail from the overturned umbrella and two torn acrylic nails to the moment the anonymous profile began to take a name.

Person: Evelina LeBlanc
Date: November 5, 1994
Location: Jefferson Elementary, San Leandro, California
Status: Died the morning after the attack
Detectives: Autry James and Rick DeCosta

- Evelina was fifteen years old when she left a football game early because of rain.
- Officer Jim Stark found her at 8:30 p.m., propped against an exterior wall with an inverted umbrella beside her.
- A single shell casing was found near the umbrella and doctors found two acrylic nails torn from her fingers.
- DNA from the attacker was recovered from Evelina’s body and entered into a database but matched nothing for thirteen years.
- In March (year not specified), a woman named Elena Thompson survived a stabbing on a bridge in Portland after a man approached her and later fled on a blue bicycle.

A charming drifter painted a mural at a school for the deaf and blind and, within three months, five people who welcomed him were dead. The killer arranged three of the bodies into a cross and left, and one question lingers: why did he take the time to stage them after the murders?

In this episode, we tell the story of how Daniel Lee Sebert arrived at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, the relationships he formed there, and the sequence of killings on February 19, 1986 that ended with three bodies deliberately positioned in a living room - what drove him to act and to arrange the scene?

Person: Daniel Lee Sebert
Date: February 19, 1986
Location: Talladega, Alabama
Victims: Five people, including two children aged five and four
First victim discovery: Linda Odum found March 30, 1986 in a cemetery off Alabama Highway 21

- Sebert arrived at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in December 1985 using the false name Daniel Spence.
- He had previously stabbed his partner 29 times in Las Vegas in 1979 and escaped prison in December 1981.
- On February 19, 1986 Sebert strangled 32-year-old Linda Odum in his apartment, wrapped her in sheets, and left her in a cemetery.
- That same night he killed 24-year-old Sherry Weathers and her sons Chad (5) and Joey (4), waking the children before killing them.
- Investigators found Sherry, Chad, and Joey stacked and arranged in the center of a living room in the shape of a cross.

A single polarized-light photo of kidney tissue lit up like shattered glass: those crystals form only after ethylene glycol poisoning, and that image turned two closed "natural cause" deaths into a criminal case. What happened when a decimal point, a life insurance payout of $150,000, and one woman's calm courtroom demeanor converged on the same name?

In this episode, we lay out the timeline from Glenn Turner's sudden death at 31 to Randy Thompson's nearly identical collapse, and how family suspicion, a reporter's persistence, and a corrected toxicology figure forced investigators to revisit both cases. Could one lab slice and one journalist be the difference between a burial and a murder charge?

Person: Glenn Turner
Age: 31
Location: Marietta, Georgia
Event: Vomiting, treated in hospital, died in bed
Status: Initial ruling "natural causes" (cardiac dysrhythmia)

Person: Lynn Turner (legal name Julia Lynn Womack Turner)
Event: Collected roughly $150,000 in life insurance and Glenn's pension
Location: Moved to Forsyth County after Glenn's death

Person: Randy Thompson
Age: 32
Location: Cumming, Forsyth County, Georgia
Event: Vomiting and severe head pain after dinner, treated and sent home, found dead alone

Toxicology: Reported ethylene glycol 38 mg/L, actual level 380 mg/L after error
Reporter: Jane Hansen, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, pulled autopsy reports and raised concerns

- Glenn Turner vomited repeatedly for three days before death and had a hospital visit for fluid loss.
- Lynn and Glenn married on August 21 at Marietta Baptist Church; Glenn worked for Cobb County Police.
- Lynn later worked as a secretary in the Forsyth County District Attorney's office and for a judge.
- Randy Thompson went to dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse with Lynn and the children the night before his decline.
- A decimal point error changed ethylene glycol from 380 mg/L (lethal) to 38 mg/L (dismissed as contamination).

The smell of stale air and chains hid a truth beneath ninety-five acres: a woman alive inside a padlocked metal shipping container after sixty-five days, while a registered sex offender with five-star real estate reviews lived a twenty-minute drive away, calm when detectives arrived. How did public records and warning signs fail to stop seven murders and a woman chained in the dark?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the discovery on November 3, 2016 to the files that stretched back over thirteen years, following the connections between property records, past convictions, and a cold case that reopened. What mistakes in process and oversight allowed Todd Kohlhepp to continue operating openly until the container door was opened?

A deliberate killing that lasted fifty-six hours, cigarettes placed like candles on a helpless man's face, and a pocket watch found in a suspect's home that later rewrote the timeline - what really happened over an August Bank Holiday weekend in 1988? Which detail refused to fit ordinary criminal logic and kept a detective describing it as "the most deliberate thing he had ever seen"?

In this episode, we tell the story of those fifty-six hours on the Denman Road Estate and how small-town routines, known neighbors, and an old pocket watch became central to understanding four deaths. We follow the movements, relationships, and objects that shaped the tragedy and ask: how did a weekend of familiar streets and unnoticed absences become a sequence of killings no one could easily explain?

Person: Anthony Richard Arkwright
Date: 26 August 1988 (Bank Holiday weekend)
Location: Denman Road Estate, Wath upon Dearne, South Yorkshire
Person: Marcus Law
Person: Raymond Ford

- Arkwright was 21 years old and was fired the morning of Friday 26 August 1988 for poor attendance from a scrapyard in Mexborough.
- Officers found a microwave and a pocket watch in Arkwright's home after his arrest for burglary of a neighbor's flat.
- Four people died over a fifty-six hour period on the Denman Road Estate by the end of that Bank Holiday weekend.
- Raymond Ford was 45 years old, a retired teacher with mental health difficulties, and had been bullied by Arkwright prior to the deaths.
- Marcus Law was 25 years old, disabled since a motorcycle accident, and lived in a bungalow on the Denman Road Estate.

The quiet block of Alturas hid a chemical threat: a banned rat poison, colorless and tasteless, slipped into resealed Coca-Cola bottles that killed a mother and sickened her children. Who would methodically test a family with poisoned drinks and leave an anonymous Post-it telling them to leave?

In this episode, we tell how a blended household’s noise complaint escalated into a lethal poisoning, how investigators traced symptoms and a Post-it note back to a reserved next-door neighbor, and how thallium-one-nitrate became the crucial clue that tied the deaths to a deliberate plot. Could a Mensa member and former meth-ring suspect really weaponize chemistry against his neighbors?

Person: Victim Peggy Carr
Person: Suspect George Trepal
Location: Alturas, Florida
Date: October 1988
Toxin: Thallium-one-nitrate

- Peggy Carr, age 41, collapsed on October 23 and later died after intensive care; official cause: thallium nitrate poisoning.
- Two Carr children, Dwayne and Travis, suffered severe peripheral pain and dehydration and were hospitalized and later recovered.
- The family’s two dogs died weeks earlier, losing their hair before death-symptoms investigators linked to thallium exposure.
- An anonymous Post-it warned “You and your so-called family have exactly two weeks to get out of the state of Florida or all of you will die,” written before the poisonings occurred.
- Investigators identified thallium-one-nitrate specifically among four thallium salts because it leaves a clear liquid and does not disturb carbonation when bottles are resealed.

A whispered threat in a holy place sent eight women walking out of a Melbourne synagogue on July 16, 2011 - including the wife of a man whose children had been abused inside that same building. This episode follows Menahem Wax, one of seventeen children raised across the street from Chabad headquarters, and asks how abuse in the synagogue and mikveh could be allowed to persist for decades without public accountability.

In this episode, we tell the story of Menahem Wax and his family, the locations where abuse occurred, the community responses that followed, and the institutional decisions that moved alleged abusers rather than reporting them - so what did the synagogue’s silence protect?

Person: Menahem Wax
Date: July 16, 2011
Location: Melbourne
Event: Abuse in synagogue and mikveh beginning in 1988
Institution: Chabad Melbourne funded relocation of a teacher in 1992

- Menahem Wax was abused in 1988 when he was eleven years old inside the synagogue.
- The second series of abuse occurred between about age twelve and fourteen and a half in the mikveh.
- Three of Zephania Wax’s seventeen children were abused inside the Chabad community.
- Rabbi David Kramer was quietly removed from teaching in Melbourne in 1992 and funded by Chabad Melbourne to relocate to the United States.
- Concerns about security guard David Cyprus existed long before Menahem’s 2011 public disclosure.

A single American dime, found in the Laos jungle twenty-six years after an A-1 crashed, helped unlock an identification that seemed impossible: bone fragments smaller than half an inch led to a positive ID. How could tiny pieces of bone and one coin overcome missing chains of custody and four separate submissions to finally bring a man home?

In this episode, we tell the story of Major Edward M. Hudgins and the long, methodical work that connected artifact and fragment to a missing pilot. You will hear how four separate submissions, battlefield artifacts, and the U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory in Hawaii converged to answer whether those remains were his.

Person: Edward M. Hudgins
Date: March 21, 1970
Location: Laos jungle; crash site coordinates referenced
Status: Previously unreturned; later subject of positive identification work
Laboratory: U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory, Hawaii (CILHI)

- The crash occurred on March 21, 1970, when an A-1 aircraft was hit over Laos.
- Major Edward M. Hudgins was 38 years old and seven months into his tour of duty.
- More than 2,100 American service members from the Vietnam War had remains not returned.
- CILHI had achieved 570 positive identifications before Hudgins' case arrived.
- Four separate submissions of remains or fragments related to Hudgins arrived from at least two distinct sources.

A freight train crew found a nineteen-year-old with a brake-coupling blow to the skull and a Western Union receipt for two hundred dollars in a pocket - made out to a sixteen-year-old girl who could not be found. Where did the money go and why was the woman's name the only living thread left to follow?

In this episode, we walk through the facts as recorded in reports and interviews: the discovery beside the tracks, the wire transfer from Illinois to Florida, the travel history of the two teens, and the questions that remained unanswered by friends and family. Did the receipt place the girl at the scene, or point instead to someone who stole her identity?

Person: Jesse Howell
Age: 19
Location: Marion County, Florida
Person: Wendy
Age: 16
Event: Western Union wire transfer for $200 made out to Wendy from Illinois on February 23

- Body found beside freight tracks by crew on a February morning with no identification and only small cash, a watch, a chain, and a receipt.
- Cause of death: blunt-force trauma to the head consistent with a freight train brake coupling.
- Wire transfer amount: $200 sent from Illinois to Florida to be collected in Wendy's name.
- Jesse and Wendy left Woodstock, Illinois together on February 23 with another couple; the other couple separated from them after three weeks.
- Last confirmed contact: Jesse called his parents saying he was fine and heading home three days after the wire transfer; no bus or train records place either of them returning.

A young nurse was present for thirteen unexplained collapses in just fifty-nine days - four children died and nine required prolonged resuscitation - and yet she was praised for calm, devoted care. How did a string of collapses on a single pediatric ward go unchallenged until a pattern became impossible to ignore?

In this episode, we tell the story of those fifty-nine days on Ward Four, the clinical oddities that were dismissed as anomalies, and the moments that finally forced investigators to ask why the same nurse was always at the bedside. What can the Ward Four timeline and medical records reveal about trust, access, and missed warning signs?

Person: Beverly Allitt
Location: Ward Four, Grantham and Kesteven General Hospital
Period: February to April 1991
Number of children collapsed: 13
Number of deaths: 4

- A total of thirteen children collapsed in Ward Four across a fifty-nine day period.
- Four of the collapsed children died during that February-April 1991 span.
- Nine children suffered cardiac or respiratory collapses severe enough that some required resuscitation for over thirty minutes.
- Beverly Allitt was twenty-two years old and a student nurse who often worked night and double shifts and volunteered for difficult assignments.
- One child, five-year-old Bradley Gibson, experienced a thirty-two minute resuscitation involving seven or eight electrical defibrillations.

The silence in Rob Simons’s apartment was so complete a stranger’s voice could lie and it would be believed; someone wrote “SHE’S ALL YOURS” across a dead tutor’s shirt and staged a vanishing that sent detectives chasing the wrong man. How did an amateur actor turn theatrical knowledge into a plot that used a dead woman, ATM withdrawals and strangers to fake a disappearance?

In this episode, we lay out the chronological facts of the case: who was found, who was missing, what was discovered in the apartment and how the credit card trail and witnesses redirected the investigation. What sequence of actions and precise details revealed that the apparent suspect was actually a creation of someone else?

Person: Rob Simons
Person: Lisa
Person: Jack
Person: Kevin
Location: Apartment and adjoining community theater where Jack performed

- Rob Simons was twenty-nine and a former first responder who received an $80,000 settlement after a workplace injury.
- Lisa was twenty-one, a college student and tutor who was found dead face-down on Rob’s bed with her pants cut and a knife beside her.
- The front of Lisa’s shirt had four words written in black marker: SHE’S ALL YOURS.
- Rob’s credit card was used for four ATM withdrawals in one day across different parts of the city.
- Kevin, a twenty-year-old community college student, said Jack gave him Rob’s card and PIN and told him to withdraw cash for a supposed bail-bonds debt.

The water turned red when seven teenagers pulled a heavy black plastic bag marked US from the bottom of Wayne Fleet Quarry and found a man weighed with concrete garden stones. A Dartmouth-trained physician, federally employed and once accepted to Oxford, had been living as "John" in a rented room and was shot once behind the right ear - but which of his two lives cost him his life?

In this episode, we lay out the facts of the case from the quarry recovery to the two houses tied to the victim and the young man connected to the dying grow operation, asking how a constructed life and threats about "Big Tony" and "Sammy" led to a quiet killing that began with a bag in the water.

Person: Paul Campagna
Age: 49
Location: Wayne Fleet Quarry, Niagara Falls, Ontario
Cause of injury: Small-caliber gunshot wound behind right ear
Related person: Matthew Bowden, age 21

- Body discovered by seven teenagers during a May long weekend after retrieving a heavy black plastic bag from the quarry.
- Victim identified as 49-year-old Paul Campagna, a United States citizen and Dartmouth graduate, living under the name "John."
- Two residences linked to the case were approximately 15 blocks apart (Orchard Avenue and McGrail Avenue).
- Police found approximately 1,200 dead and dying marijuana plants at the McGrail Avenue property.
- Forensic testing found blood beneath a cut section of carpet at McGrail approximately 99% consistent with Campagna's DNA.

A family physician wrote prescriptions for ninety-nine pills per day - roughly three thousand pills a month - to multiple patients for years, and five of those patients later died. How did ordinary clinic visits turn into what the state of Oklahoma called second-degree murder?

In this episode, we present the case against Dr. Reagan Nichols and the families who say routine prescriptions became lethal transactions, asking whether a prescription can be treated as a weapon and how the law should respond.

Person: Dr. Reagan Nichols
Location: Midwest City, Oklahoma
Date: 2018 (state charged Nichols)
Status: Charged with second-degree murder and added involuntary manslaughter
Case: Five confirmed patient deaths linked to prescriptions

- Prescription records showed approximately ninety-nine pills per day for at least one patient.
- Ninety-nine pills per day amounts to roughly three thousand pills per month.
- Chelsea, one of Nichols’s patients, died in 2013 at age 21 after being treated by Nichols.
- Annette Marshall’s husband, a firefighter, was prescribed the ninety-nine-pill regimen and died in 2012.
- The judge refused to dismiss the murder charge and added involuntary manslaughter to the indictment.

The trunk was open and the interior light had been burning for six days while two people lay inside - a small, ordinary detail that refused to make sense. Why was a tissue with blood and a purse left untouched, newspapers stacked as if someone planned to return, and no sign of forced entry when Ian and Nancy Blackburn vanished?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of discoveries from the Toronto house to the Blackburns' Caledon cabin and the nearby woods, following the clues that led investigators to ask who had been inside without breaking in. Was this the work of a transient trespasser leaving methodical traces, or something far more composed?

Person: Ian Blackburn, age 54
Person: Nancy Blackburn, age 49
Date: April 7, 1992 (last confirmed call)
Location: Caledon, Ontario (fifty-acre property)
Evidence: Interior car light on; tissue with blood; newspapers from December beside fireplace

- Ian Blackburn drove from Toronto to the family cabin on April 7, 1992 and phoned the Toronto house that evening.
- Nancy Blackburn did not appear for work the same day; her purse was found open on the bed with cards and cash untouched.
- The car trunk containing both bodies was discovered six days later by neighbor Orville Osborne; the interior light had been burning the entire time.
- Two spots of blood, later confirmed as Nancy’s by the Toronto Centre of Forensic Sciences, were found at the base and top of the cabin staircase.
- About 100 metres from the cabin, police found a garbage bag containing torn December newspaper sections matching those stacked inside, human feces wrapped in newsprint, and handwritten inventory-style lists mentioning military and naval gear.
