    17 year old Jessica Dishon was abducted from the driveway of her when she was leaving for school on the morning of September 10, 1999. The investigation, or lack thereof, that would follow would call into question just how safe the people of Shepherdsville, KY were and would shatter entire families in the process. Nothing can prepare you for this case.

    Episode 196: Colleen Slemmer | The Cult of Christa
    Jan 12 2025
    On January 13, 1995 Detectives in Knoxville, TN arrived at a murder scene in Tyson Park. This was unlike anything they had ever seen before. In the dirt leading up to the victim’s body they found finger marks, which implied the victim had been physically dragged to a more remote location while fighting desperately to save her life. Her clothes were strewn up in the surrounding trees, covered in blood, and she had been beaten horrifically and slashed with what they assumed as a knife. She had a deep impact wound on the left side of her head and it appeared that brain matter was visible. This was a brutal murder and they knew it would rock the community of Knoxville, especially because the victim was college aged, and they had many universities and post high school programs located around them. But what the detectives feared far more than fielding phone calls from concerned parents was the fact that, in the midst of America’s ‘Satanic Panic’, their victim had a pentagram carved into her chest.

    Episode 195: The Duffield Family | Terror in Olathe
    Dec 29 2024
    On the night of January 27, 1983 John Duffield fell asleep to his television in his bedroom. His wife, Carole, was a nurse who worked the night shift, so sleeping alone was something that he had grown accustomed to, and why the droning noise of the television kept him company. But in the early morning hours he was awoken by the worst sound a parent could hear. He heard the frantic calls and moans of pain from his 15 year old son Paul, whom he knew had fallen asleep on the couch in the family living room. He rushed downstairs to his son and found him unresponsive and in a large pool of his own blood, a massive wound to his head. John could barely process what was happening. He was in shock. He rushed to the phone to call 911…but the phone lines were dead. He had no idea that the chaos of that night had only just begun.

    Episode 194: Melissa Brannen | No One Saw a Thing
    Dec 15 2024
    In the tightknit community of the Woodside Apartments the residents gather each year for the Yuletide fest where everyone in the complex can eat, drink, and be merry as their children play games and visit with Santa. But, as is often the case, when we feel comfortable to let our guard down, that evil takes its opportunity to strike. In the middle of the residents catching up and talking about their holiday plans on that December night in 1989 a 5 year old girl, who had just been seen by her mother a minute prior, was kidnapped in the presence of 115 people. No one had seen anything.
