Los Angeles, also known by its nickname The City of Angels, is thought by many to be one of the most glamourous places on earth. Home to the rich and famous, the Hollywood walk of fame and several success movie studios, thousands of people flock there with the hopes of making it big. Behind all the glitz and glamour, L.A is also the home of thousands of homeless people and has more than its fair share of violent crime. Today, we will be focusing on the dark side of the City of Angels as we...

When I came across Patricia Newsom's case, I didn't think I was going to be able to cover it as there is very little information on her disappearance online. That was until her sister, Maryann Collette kindly agreed to come on this episode and discuss her sisters case. Thank you very much Maryann for participating in todays episode!  Patricia Newsom's NAMUS profile: https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/81350?nav Lady of the Dunes NAMUS profile:...

I'm sure many people listening to this can remember a time before mobile phones or cell phones, depending on what country you are in.  It's hard to imagine a world without wireless technology now but back then, It wasn't as easy as sending a text saying "I'll see you in 5". We depended on landline phones and payphones if we needed to talk to people that we couldn’t see in person. Today, we will be discussing a young woman who, like many others, pulled over to use a payphone but was tragically...

Trigger warning. This episode discusses the murders and disappearances of children and also mentions child sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised.  Many crime documentaries on TV portray serial killers as some sort of cold-blooded creature who only prey at night, like some kind of wild animal. I think the reason these programmes describe them this way is to try and put as much distance between them and us as possible, to lure us into a false sense of security that we won't ever come...

It's never just as easy as "just leaving" an abusive relationship. The fear of repercussions, not having anywhere to go and the emotional and mental torture that victims go through, being just a few reasons why. The only people that know exactly how hard it is are those who have been  through it and they are often the best people to support those unfortunate enough to find themselves in that exact same situation. Sadly, the people who are trying their best to help get people out of dangerous...

No community or country is immune from the effects of gang violence, from forcing people to engage in prostitution, peddling drugs onto the streets and senseless murders. The latter of which is particularly heart-breaking as perfectly innocent lives are destroyed for absolutely nothing. That is what we will be discussing today as we uncover the unsolved murder of Demetrius Griffen Jr.   There is a $15,000 reward on information leading to the conviction of Demetrius's killer/s. If you have...

In today's episode, we have a very special guest! Stephen Ahern, who wrote the book 'A Kitchen Painted in Blood: The Unsolved Disappearance of Joan Risch' very kindly agreed to come onto the podcast to discuss who Joan Risch was as a person and what may have transpired on the 24th of October 1960 when she went missing from her home.  Links to Stephen's book: Kindle:...

Going to school is a journey that a lot of children don't look forward to. To some kids, school is the bane of their life and they can’t wait until they return home so they can chill out of hang out with their friends. Some kids love school and can’t wait to get stuck in, get involved in extra-curricular activities and are just excited to learn. For one girl in 2003, the latter was definitely true and each day, she would leave her home to walk the very short distance between her home and the...

Not to see eye-to-eye with your in-laws is a struggle that I am sure many people can relate to. Whether parents don’t like their child choice in partner or the way their grandchildren are being raised, or even just small petty disagreements, it can take its toll on a family dynamic. Most of the time, these issues are sorted but other people have some shocking horror stories of arguments and incidents they have had with their partners family. Today, we will be discussing a case where a feud...

Many of us have a morning routine, a way to ease ourselves into the day ahead. Having a bath or shower, eating breakfast, doing your hair and make-up, getting dressed, listening to the radio, etc. I know with my routine, I don't even think about it anymore, it's that habitual that I get up and do it without a second thought and I'm sure many of you are the same. When two parents entered their daughters house one January morning, it was clear that she had also followed her morning routine. An...

When people go missing or are murdered, their loved ones are often desperate for media attention, hoping that it will lead to new information in the case. Some victims receive very little media coverage, some receive a lot and there are a few that dominate headlines for months, weeks or even decades. While this seems like a good thing, sometimes in the midst of sensationalised stories and tabloid speculation, the focus is taken off the victim and people forget there is a real family grieving...

One of the worst injustices that occurs far too often is when a life is cruelly taken by another and the identity of the killer and the victim remain a mystery. The killer gets to live the rest of their live with no punishment and the victim's families are unaware that somewhere, maybe miles away, their loved one is unclaimed and without a name. There are so many Jane and John Doe's out there, all of whom deserve justice and to be brought home to rest in peace, but we have to get their...

While a loved one goes missing, their families are forced to go through an emotional turmoil that I would not wish on my worst enemy. Between wondering where they are every day, having to cope with not knowing what happened to them and not being able to grieve properly for their loved one, many families describe it as being in a constant state of limbo. Unless you have been unfortunate enough to have a loved one go missing, it is impossible to imagine exactly how devastating it would be, but...

I'm sure at one time or another, we have all tried to run away from our problems and while this certainly is tempting, it rarely works. Whether you are trying to escape from a debt, mental health issues, family problems or legal troubles, life often...

Finishing high school is the ending of one chapter of one's life and the start of another. While some leave school not knowing what they want to do with their lives, some have their entire future mapped out, know exactly what they want and how they plan...

There is a lot we don't know about serial killers. We don't know what drives them to kill innocent people, how they can get any pleasure from it at all or how many of them go undetected for years. Sadly, in some cases, we don't know exactly how many...

Most of us make little notes to ourselves to remember important dates or upcoming events. We might type them into our phones or computer, write them on the back of our hand, or scribble them onto a notepad or in a diary of sorts. Sometimes, these notes...

The Mississippi river is over 2,000 miles long and flows through ten states in America. The river is vital to several industries for its drainage system, its ability to generate hydroelectric power and for the various species of fish that swim in its...

Being at one with nature is said to be a very calming, relaxing and mindful experience. Escaping everyday life and taking in the beautiful, natural sights that this world has to offer. While there are some dangers out in nature, many are either known to...

The festive period can be a hard time for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. Perhaps for financial reasons, as well as triggering old memories or remembering those who aren't here to celebrate with us. This last Christmas was different for...

It’s frustrating when we are so close to achieving something, but it still feels out of our reach, or that one piece of the puzzle just hasn't fallen into place yet. There are so many true crime cases where we seem to know so much, but still have a lot...
