  • It was a January afternoon in 1981 when a man’s German Shepherd came upon a grisly discovery in the woods outside of Houston: the badly decomposed remains of a young man, beaten to death, and a woman, who was strangled. For 40 years, the victims were nameless – until late 2021, when a team of genetic genealogists identified the pair as 21-year-old Harold Dean Clouse and 17-year-old Tina Gail Clouse, a married couple who had moved from Florida to Texas with their infant daughter. But the discovery of the identities only deepened the mystery: who killed the couple and why? And where is their daughter, Holly, who would be 42 years old if alive today? 

    In this multi-part true crime podcast, host Cristina Corbin travels across the country to interview law enforcement and family members, uncover new leads and speak exclusively with a religious cult at the center of this double murder mystery. The first reporter to obtain the entire police case file, including autopsy reports and crime scene photos, Corbin exposes stunning details that move this decades-old case forward.

  • In May 2017, 49-year-old builder Michael McGrath disappeared, almost without trace.
    No crime scene was ever found.
    No weapon was ever found.
    No body was ever found.
    So how could his longtime friend be arrested and charged with murder?
    In February 2023, the trial of David Charles Benbow finally began.
    Benbow stood accused of murdering McGrath because he’d started a relationship with Benbow’s former partner, Joanna Green.
    The prosecution said that, while based entirely on circumstantial evidence, its case was so comprehensive there could be no doubt Benbow was guilty.
    The defence said detectives were biased, working hard to build a case against Benbow after he was identified as a prime suspect - by Green.
