TIMESTAMPS(5:23) - General updates (Liam Payne arrests, Bryan Kohberger)(11:34) - Lauren SpiererIn 2011, college student Lauren Spierer (20) went out for a night on the town with some friends. Witnesses reported that she seemed inebriated, and at one point she left both her shoes and her phone behind at a bar.
The last public sighting of Lauren was on CCTV at 2.51am on June 3, 2011. She seemingly vanished into the night. Her keys and purse would be found discarded along the route she took that night.
Lauren came into contact with multiple men on the night she vanished. All of the men denied having any knowledge about Laurenâs whereabouts and obtained legal representation.
Could there have been an accident that caused Laurenâs death and a coverup has ensued? Or was foul play involved?
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the 2011 disappearance of Lauren Spierer.

(7:04) - Tyler Weathersby
In September 2024, South Dakota man Tyler Weathersby was acting erratically. His mother was visiting from interstate and the two had an argument. He drove his mother to the airport the day before her flight and left her there.
He was agitated when he got home. His wife, MonaLisa Perez, said that he would routinely go for long walks, multiple times per day. She assumed that this is what he was doing on September 4 when he left their home. Tyler can be seen on CCTV walking in the neighborhood that day. He has not been seen since.
In an interesting twist in the case, MonaLisa accidentally killed her previous partner Pedro in 2017. The two were filming a YouTube prank video that went wrong, resulting in Pedroâs death.
Where is Tyler? Did he suffer a mental health crisis? Or is there something more at play?
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the disappearance of Tyler Weathersby.

(10:37) - Napa Halloween Murders Start
Napa - California - On Halloween in 2004, three roommates, Leslie Ann Mazzara, Lauren Meanza and Adriane Insogna, spent the evening handing out specially prepared treat bags to the children in their neighborhood.
Hours after the women went to bed, Lauren was awakened by the sounds of screaming and breaking glass. As she headed up the stairs to investigate, she heard footsteps coming towards her. She fled the home and called 911 from her vehicle.
Leslie and Adriane would be found brutally murdered in an upstairs bedroom. The pool of blood at the scene was said to be inches deep.
An investigation would later determine that an acquaintance of the women, Eric Copple, was responsible for their deaths. Eric was the partner of a friend of the girls. No motive for the murders has ever been confirmed, besides Ericâs possible jealousy over the friendship.
Despite this case happening twenty years ago, it has recently been discussed again due to the similarities between it and the Moscow Murders.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the 2004 Halloween murders in Napa, California.

Sean Combs aka Diddy seemed to have it all. In 2022, his net worth was estimated to be around $1B. He had a successful career in music and acting, and owned many different businesses.

In September 2024, Sean was arrested for racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation for the purposes of prostitution. The media are also reporting that 120 sexual assault lawsuits will be filed against him in New York, Los Angeles and Miami over the coming weeks.
Sean is currently being held in prison, awaiting a May 2025 trial. He has been denied bail.

Timestamps(4:45) - Olivia's thoughts on the Vicky & Casey White Documentary(11:00) - Nurses Who Murder
According to the National Library of Medicine, it is estimated that an average of 35 Americans are killed by healthcare workers per year. The true numbers are likely higher, given that these crimes are often missed for years.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two different cases where nurses have been convicted of purposely murdering their patients with insulin.
Pennsylvania nurse Heather Pressdee gave "lethal and potentially lethal doses of insulin" to at least 22 of her patients. Seventeen of the patients "died very soon" or "sometime later" after receiving the insulin doses.
Heather ended up taking a plea deal to avoid the death penalty. In 2024, she was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences for the murders. She was also ordered to subsequently serve another 380 to 760 years in prison for the attempted murders.
Australian nurse Megan Haines had many complaints made against her during her nursing career. It was alleged that she was rude to patients and that she stole from them. At one point, she had her nursing license suspended. Megan was reprimanded and was eventually allowed to nurse again. While working a night shift in May 2014, she was informed that three patients had made complaints against her and that she would be investigated.
That night, Megan would inject two of the patients who complained about her with insulin. She was arrested and charged with the murders and is currently serving a prison term - she will be eligible for parole in 2041.

Timestamps:Patty Wu-Murad Update - (10:20)Robert Fisher - (16:50)In 2001, Robert Fisher and his wife Mary had been having marital problems. Robertâs parents divorced when he was young and he was adamant that his children, Brittney and Bobby, would not go through the same.
Robert was said to be controlling and abusive towards his family. He once turned a hose on his wife when she spoke âout of turn.â
Mary told friends in early 2001 that she was planning to leave Robert. Robert found out and it sent him over the edge. Police allege that Robert shot Mary in the back of the head and slit the throats of their children before rigging the home to explode by pulling the gas line.
Once the blaze was extinguished, Robert was nowhere to be found. 23 years later, Robert remains one of the most wanted men in America.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the brutal murder of the Fisher family in Arizona and how the main suspect has eluded capture for over twenty years.

Timestamps(7:00) - Lost at SeaData indicates that over 3,000 people are reported missing at sea, each year.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two separate disappearances where the people involved have vanished without a trace after allegedly boarding boats.
Abigail Bernstein and her two young sons, Koa Kai and Kush, were last seen in October 2022 at the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor on Oahu, Hawaii. They were allegedly boarding a boat for a long voyage. The boatâs captain would return one year later and say that Abigail and the children left the boat because they were seasick. No trace of the family has been found. Did something happen during the voyage or has Abigail taken the children and gone off the grid?
British woman Sarm Heslop and her American boyfriend Ryan Bane lived on Ryanâs boat âSiren Songâ in the US Virgin Islands in 2021. Ryan has said that one night in March that year, he was awoken in the early morning hours by the anchor alarm. When he got up, Sarm was nowhere to be seen. Ryan waited 9 hours before calling police. He has reportedly refused to let authorities search âSiren Songâ and he has since sold the vessel and returned to the United States.

Timestamps:(3:45) - Asha DegreeOn a cold and stormy night in February 2000 in Shelby, North Carolina, Asha Degree (9) got out of her bed. She collected some of her favorite belongings and snuck out of her home. She has not been seen since.
Soon after Asha vanished, some of her belongings were found discarded in a nearby shed. A photograph of an unidentified child was found amongst her things â the child has never been identified.
18 months after Asha disappeared, her backpack was found around 25 miles from where she was last seen. The pack is said to have been wrapped in trash bags, and it contained items that did not belong to Asha.
Over the decades, the search for Asha has continued. There has been recent movement in her case as police have executed search warrants at a property near Ashaâs home. A car that matched the description of one seen in the area at the time Asha disappeared has just been towed.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the disappearance of Asha Degree. Was Asha lured away from her home and murdered?

Murder by poison is a rare method used by criminals. It is used in just under one-half of one percent of cases.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss three very different cases where people were intentionally poisoned, in an attempt to kill.
Indiana man Alfred Ruf has just been jailed for drugging his wife Lisa multiple times. When Lisa was unconscious, Alfred would sleep with her daughter. Alfred told police that the end goal had been for Lisa to die.
Texas attorney Mason Herring and his wife Catherine were having marital issues and decided to separate. Soon after, Catherine found out she was pregnant with their third child, so the couple decided to try to make things work. Mason decided to put an abortion drug into Catherineâs beverages, on repeated occasions. Catherine installed cameras in their home when she became suspicious after falling ill. Mason was eventually sentenced to a measly 180 days in jail after pleading guilty to charges of injury to a child and assault of a pregnant person. The coupleâs daughter was born 10 weeks premature and now attends therapy 8 times per week and she has developmental delays.
Lana Clayton was millionaire Steven Claytonâs 7th wife. In 2018, Lana apparently found Steven laying at the bottom of a staircase. She ran outside and flagged down a motorist to ask for help. Lana initially refused an autopsy for Steven and also told his family that he had no will, which not surprisingly, made them suspicious. An autopsy was eventually carried out and it was discovered that Lana had poisoned Steven by putting eye drops into his coffee. She is also said to have thrown his phone into a lake so that he could not call for help following the poisoning. Lana pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and tampering with a food or a drug causing death. She was sentenced to 25 years in prison without parole.Read our blog for these cases

(7:45) - Updates - Matthew Perry
(16:55) - Laci Peterson
In 2002, Laci Peterson and her husband Scott found out that they were expecting their first child, a son they planned to name Conner.
From the outside, the couple appeared to have a picture-perfect life. Under the surface though, cracks were forming.
From early on in their marriage, Scott had a number of affairs with other women. In November 2002, he began an affair with a woman named Amber Frey. He told Amber at one point that he had âlost his wifeâ and the upcoming Christmas would be his first without her.
On Christmas Eve 2002, Laci was around 8 months pregnant. Scott said he left her at home watching Martha Stewart and that she was gone when he returned.
The search for Laci and her unborn son was one of the most extensive and high-profile ever seen. Laci and Connerâs remains would be found months after they vanished.
Scott was arrested near the Mexican border and was charged in relation to the deaths of his wife and son.
22 years later, there is still movement in this case. An organization called the LA Innocence Project is spearheading a new appeal to prove Scottâs alleged innocence.

(22:17) - Cassidy Rainwater
Missouri woman Cassidy Rainwater was down on her luck in 2021. She told family that she was staying with an acquaintance, James Phelps, until she could get back on her feet.
When Cassidyâs family could not get in touch with her, they called in a welfare check. Police went to Jamesâ home and he told authorities that Cassidy had left in July 2021 to move to Colorado.
Soon after Cassidy disappeared, an anonymous tip was sent in to the FBI. The tipster said that there were photos of Cassidy on the dark web. In the images, Cassidy could be seen being held captive in a cage.
James Phelps and a friend of his, Timothy Norton, would end up being arrested for Cassidyâs murder. The men attacked Cassidy while she was sleeping and ended up dismembering her body. Packages of her flesh were found in a freezer and had the date âJuly 24;â written on them. During court proceedings, the men admitted to going to their local Walmart in an attempt to find other victims.
Both men are now serving life in prison.

(10:49) - Matthew Perry Start
Celebrity Matthew Perry was very open about his decades-long struggle with addiction. He estimated that over the years, he had spent around $9m on rehab costs. At one point during his addiction, he was in a coma and on life-support for two weeks.
In 2023, Matthew seemed to be doing well. Even some of his close friends believed he was sober. Matthew had been getting legal ketamine treatment for his depression and his doctor thought that it was working well.
At some point in September 2023, things changed Matthew. He worked with his assistant of 25 years, Kenneth Iwamasa, to begin obtaining more ketamine illegally. They got the drugs from doctors and also from a drug dealer known as the âKetamine Queen.â Within weeks, Matthew had spent $55k on the drug,
On October 28, 2023, Matthew told Kenneth to âshoot me up with a big one.â Kenneth did so and he then left to run errands. When he returned to Matthewâs home, he found the celebrity face down in his jacuzzi. Paramedics were called and Matthew was declared dead at the age of 54.
Five people have recently been arrested and charged in connection with Matthewâs death. His assistant is facing a possible sentence of 15 years in prison.

Chad hast just been sentenced to life in prison.
- Corey Micciolo was born in 2014. He lived for his early years with his mother Breanna. His father Christopher Gregor would eventually be given residential custody due to Breannaâs addiction issues. Breanna noticed bruises on Corey and his teachers have said that his demeanor changed over time. CCTV of Corey and Christopher was found â Christopher was forcing Corey to run at high speeds on a treadmill and he stumbled and fell multiple times.

(15:08 )- Heat Related Deaths
On average, 37 children under the age of 15 die each year from heatstroke after being left in a vehicle.
In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two cases where children died after being left unattended in the heat.
Justin âRossâ Harris and his wife Leanna had been having marriage troubles for years. They were trying to stick it out, despite Rossâ having numerous affairs. The couple had one child together, Cooper.
In June 2014, Ross texted one of the women he had been seeing and said "I need an escape. I love my son and all but we both need an escape.â
Later that day, Ross took Cooper to breakfast and was meant to drop him off to daycare. After driving for a mile, Ross somehow forgot that Cooper was in his car seat. Ross parked the car in direct sunlight, got out of the vehicle and went into work.
Seven hours later, after internal temperatures in the car reached around 125f, Ross left work and drove off. Minutes later, he realized what he had done. Cooper was dead in his car seat.
Ross was charged with malice murder, two counts of felony murder, cruelty to children in the first and second degree, criminal attempt to commit a felony and dissemination of harmful materials to minors. Many of these charges stemmed from Rossâ inappropriate communications with underage females that he engaged in sexting with.
Ross was convicted in 2016. He was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole plus 32 years.
However, in 2024, Ross was released from prison. A court ruled that there should have been separate trials for the murder charges and the sex-crime charges and his convictions were overturned.

In the second case, we discuss the death of 4-month-old Tanna Rae Wroblewski. Tanna Rae was allegedly left alone on a boat in 121f heat on the July 4th weekend this year. Her parents were said to be swimming and cooling off. When they returned to check Tanna Rae some time later, she was bleeding from the ears. The baby was transported to hospital where she passed from heat-related conditions. There is an investigation into the babyâs death ongoing.

On a cold night in June 2001, the couple were driving through the remote Australian outback. A passing motorist named Bradley John Murdoch motioned to the couple to stop their vehicle because of car troubles. Peter pulled over and got out of the car. What happened next is the stuff of nightmares.
Joanne heard a loud bang and Peter dropped out of sight. Bradley then attempted to abduct Joanne, but she managed to escape into the desert where she hid for hours.
Bradley would eventually be charged with Peterâs murder, but Joanne faced vicious attacks from the media who questioned her every move. The media interest in this trial was so large that the court went under a massive renovation costing almost $1 million dollars.
23 years later, Peterâs body has never been found.

In October 2019, Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz each made innocent choices that would lead to the end of their lives.
Kristine and a friend, Stephanie, went to a bar to listen to live music. At the venue, they met Wade Wilson. Stephanie described Wade as âfriendly and charming.â Kristine and Wade went back to Kristineâs where Wade strangled Kristine in her bed. He then stole her vehicle and fled the scene.
Later that day, while driving the stolen car, Wade approached Diane who was walking to work. He asked her for directions and he enticed her into the vehicle. He then beat and strangled Diane before pushing her out of the car and running her over until she looked like âspaghetti.â
Wade is now facing the death penalty for the murders and is due to be sentenced.

In July 2007, Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her 11-year-old daughter Michaela went to the grocery store to buy ingredients for a recipe Michaela wanted to make. There, they would cross paths with a man named Joshua Komisarjevsky who would follow them home to plan his next home invasion.
That night, Joshua and his accomplice Hayes broke into the family's home and tortured them for hours. In the morning, they forced Jennifer to the bank to withdraw $15,000. Before leaving the bank, Jennifer was able to alert the teller who immediately called 911.
Things came crumbling down when Joshua and Hayes realized Dr. William Petit escaped and crawled to a neighbor's home looking for help, despite his severe injuries. The men panicked and used gasoline to light the home ablaze while police set up a perimeter.
Jennifer, Michaela and 17-year-old Hayley were all killed inside. Dr. William Petit was the lone survivor of the attack.
