The Piketon Massacre - Part 2
15 JUL 2024 · In April 2016, eight members of the Rhoden family were found shot and killed in cold blood in the small community of Piketon, Ohio. The killings were targeted and methodically carried out at four different crime scenes, leaving behind very little evidence. It would become one of the most complicated and lengthy investigations in Ohio history. The question on everyone’s mind: Who would mercilessly kill an entire family in cold blood?

Susan and Josh Powell - Part 3
1 JUL 2024 · Susan Powell was last seen on December 6, 2009. She and her husband of 8 years, Josh Powell, lived in West Valley City, Utah. In recent years their marriage had been strained due to financial issues and Josh’s detachment from his marriage. When the Powell’s two young sons, Charlie, 4, and Braden, 2, didn’t show up at daycare and Susan didn’t show up at work, their friends and family were instantly worried. Hours later, Josh was reached on his cell phone. He said he’d left at 1 am and taken his sons camping despite the cold and snowy conditions while Susan stayed home. Josh assumed she went to work. Police interviewed Josh but he was evasive and unhelpful. However, he was not arrested. What followed was a frustrating years-long investigation, a creepy obsession, an ugly custody dispute, and a tragic end.

Anne Scripps and Scott Douglas
10 JUN 2024 · An heiress to the Scripps newspaper fortune, Anne Scripps had a privileged upbringing. When her first marriage ended in divorce she quickly met and married a new man, a house painter named Scott Douglas who was nine years younger than Anne. All Anne wanted was the simple life of a suburban housewife, doting on her children and giving them the warmth and love that she didn’t receive in her own childhood. But her new marriage quickly turned into a nightmare, with a tragic outcome that would reverberate for years to come.

Shanna Gardner and Jared Bridegan
20 MAY 2024 · On February 16, 2022, 33-year-old Jared Bridegan was gunned down while his two-year-old daughter watched in horror from the backseat of their car. Jared and his ex-wife, Shanna Gardner, heiress to the Stampin’ Up fortune, had gone through a long and brutal custody battle but they had both recently remarried. The attack was brutal and well-planned. Jared’s murder went unsolved for a year until three shocking arrests were made, including Jared’s ex-wife and new husband.
We also discuss missing person Sara Ebersole who went missing from Reddick, Florida in March 2023.

Shanti Cooper-Tronnes and David Tronnes
13 MAY 2024 · Shanti Cooper fell in love with David Tronnes after meeting in 2013 on https://Match.com. After a whirlwind romance, David and Shanti moved in together. First into a rented house and later into a beautiful, historic home in Orlando, Florida that David had purchased. A major home renovation ensued but countless delays resulted in the couple being displaced from their home for over 2 years. An opportunity to appear on the show “Zombie House Flipping” surfaced. David saw this as a chance to finish their home renovation. But just as things were looking up for the couple, Shanti was found dead in their small apartment on April 24, 2018. David claimed a slip-and-fall accident must have caused her death but the crime scene told a different story.
