EPISODE 176: Valerie McDaniel was a successful veterinarian living in Houston, Texas, when she met a man named Leon Jacob. Leon was a young surgeon from the area, and the two quickly became inseparable. But a few years later, a 3 a.m. knock at the door shattered the life Valerie thought she knew—and what unravels is a bizarre plan that nobody would get away with, especially a buffoon.

EPISODE 175: Deborah Brashers met her dad for the first time when she was 5-years-old and she instantly became a daddys girl. He was loving, caring and always made Deborah laugh, which is why his su***de in 1999 was so shocking. She was left with so many questions and sadly she would have to wait nearly 20 years to get answers to them.

In 1994, he wrote his parents a letter from his new home in Sweden. Little did they know, this letter would change their lives forever & bring much needed justice to this entitled monster.

EPISODE 173: Juliana Peres Magalhães was working as an Au Pair for Christine and Brendan Banfield, who lived in the suburbs of Washington, DC. In February 2023, she was taking their 4-year-old daughter to the National Zoo when she realized she forgot their pre-packed lunches in the fridge. When she pulled back up to the house she saw a strange man walking inside with a bag. What started as a typical workday turned into pure chaos — leaving 2 people dead. What begins as a frantic 911 call soon unravels into a web of secrets, hidden relationships, and a story far more complex than it first appears.

EPISODE 172: In 1968, Barbara Jane Mackle was a student at Emory University gearing up to go home for Christmas break when she’s tragically kidnapped in front of her own mother. The Mackle family was Florida royalty so it was no surprise that the motive was money, but this is one of the craziest, most intense investigations we’ve ever heard. Trust me, you will be on the edge of your seat.

EPISODE 169: In 1988, Tonya Hudkins was a recent widow raising 3 kids on her own and she was rocking it as a single mom. She never missed her kids baseball games or school events and she worked hard to keep them afloat financially. In the late 90s, she met Daryl McCartor who she eventually married and they were blissfully happy, but that all changed in May 2002. It was your typical Sunday afternoon and Tonya, Daryl, their kids & grandchild were swimming at a local athletic club having no idea that they were being watched...and had been for hours...

EPISODE 167: This case blew my mind and I have to start with this PSA: stick around until my very last sentence... New information came out 2 months ago and it throws in one more twist to an already twisty, infuriating case.

Sandra Birchmore was born in Stoughton, Massachusetts and didn’t have a great life. Her mom was chronically ill, her dad was out of the picture, she didn’t have a lot of support...until she found the Stoughton Police Explorer’s Program, a youth program for kids interested in police work. Sandra always dreamed of becoming a cop so this was right up her alley & she thrived in the program. As an adult, she still struggled and on February 1st, 2021, after a tough couple of years, she was found dead in her apartment. It was quickly ruled a su***de, but fortunately, that ruling wasn’t going to fly with friends and family.

EPISODE 166: After 8 days of captivity, Anita Wooldridge has been saved by Indiana police, Wisconsin Police and FBI in a gripping and perfectly executed rescue mission. That monster has been arrested and Anita’s ready to talk. This is Part 2 (final part) of Anita Wooldridge’s abduction, told from her point of view.

EPISODE 165: In June 1998, Anita Wooldridge was getting ready for a lunch date when she hears a knock on the door. She opens it to see an unexpecting but familiar face. Even in a rush, Anita is nice enough to invite him in and offer him water, but when she turns her back, he tazed her. She attempts to fight but he uses the stun gun twice more and she is left helpless at the hands of this monster. The terror that unfolds afterwards is horrifying (and infuriating), but investigators will not rest until they find out what happened to Anita and who is responsible.

Episode 164: In May 2017, coal miner, Brad McGarry, spent the morning at a family brunch and left feeling excited to meet up with his secret lover. Nobody knew who the secret hookup was, except for the code name “DJ”. As it turns out, “DJ” had a huge secret and as they say: two can keep a secret if one is dead.
