  • Two coworkers. A quiet store. A wealthy town where nothing ever seems to go wrong—until it does. What happened inside a Lululemon store in Bethesda, Maryland in 2011 left detectives speechless, and a community shaken. This is the story of Jayna Murray. And the person who survived… might not be who they said they were.

    In today’s episode of Macabre Mondays, Ale takes you to Bethesda, Maryland—an upscale, peaceful suburb just outside Washington, D.C.—where a routine closing shift at a Lululemon Athletica store took a horrifying turn.

    Jayna Murray, a beloved and ambitious 30-year-old, was found brutally murdered inside the store.
    Her coworker, Brittany Norwood, said they had been attacked by masked intruders.

    But as the investigation unfolded, the story began to shift.
    And the more detectives dug… the more it became clear—nothing about this scene made sense.

    This is a case of betrayal, overkill, and an attempt to cover up one of the most vicious crimes in retail history.

    Trigger Warning:
    This episode contains graphic descriptions of violence, including sexual assault allegations, forensic autopsy details, and themes of murder. Listener discretion is advised.

  • In 1957, the body of a young boy was found in a cardboard box on the edge of the woods in Philadelphia. He was malnourished, bruised, and alone—no name, no identity, and no one came forward to claim him. For over 60 years, the world would only know him as The Boy in the Box.

    In this chilling episode of Macabre Mondays, Alejandra dives into the decades-old cold case, the haunting crime scene, strange clues like a discarded hat and a box traced to a baby bassinet, and the heartbreaking theories that surrounded the boy’s death. From psychics and secret foster homes to DNA breakthroughs and forensic genealogy, this is the story of how modern science finally gave this child a name: Joseph Augustus Zarelli.
