  • On June 8, 2017 a call came into Montgomery County, MO dispatch. The two people on the line stated that someone had been found dead inside a large snake breeding facility and one of the large snakes was not accounted for. When deputies got on the scene they were terrified and had no idea what they were in for. Had someone been killed by a snake or had this been a cold blooded murder?

  • As all news does in a high school, rumors of what happened to bright, beautiful, athletic Emma Walker spread like wildfire. Some said that she had died by suicide, but most couldn’t believe that. Her life was perfect. She had a great boyfriend, she was a cheerleader, and had a close circle of friends. It just didn’t seem like it could be true. But if Emma Walker did not harm herself, it meant that something far more sinister happened…that someone had wanted to hurt her. Now that didn’t sound too far from the truth because in the days prior to her death odd things had been happening to the 16 year old girl.

  • Introducing a NEW investigation from the BBC’s World of Secrets podcast: The Apartheid Killer.

    All the victims were black and the youngest was just 12 years old. Some relatives are still searching for the graves. They were killed during a three-year bloodbath in the 1980s, in the South African city of East London – by one person. He killed so many, he lost count. It has been 30 years since the white supremacist apartheid regime crumbled. The unresolved trauma of this time has cast a long shadow across a nation. In piecing together this story, the new season of World of Secrets exposes the disturbed past and racial injustices of South Africa itself.

    Search for World of Secrets, wherever you get your podcasts. World of Secrets is the BBC podcast about the stories they don’t want told. Delve into a World of
    Secrets – major BBC global investigations and gripping storytelling. Holding the powerful to account and exposing scandals around the world.

  • In the early morning hours of June 2, 2009 a thunderstorm broke the constant quiet that existed in the Amish community of Apple Creek, OH. Inside the well kept two story white house the occupants slept fretfully because of the storm. What they did not know was that the loud noises outside were nothing compared to the danger that had sneaked its way inside. A figure walked its way through the unlocked house and down the hall to the main bedroom. They readied themselves to shoot the rifle they had brought with them. Temporarily they were illuminated by a bright flash of lighting and as a thunderclap roared its way through the house they fired the gun. The children slept on none the wiser that their lives had just been shattered by the murder of their mother.

  • In the early morning hours following the 4th of July celebrations in Moorpark, CA a security guard spots what he assumed was a drunk driving incident. But when he approached the accident he realized something more sinister had occurred at the intersection between Highway 23 and Los Angeles Avenue. The investigation that would follow would reveal the depth to which humanity could reach.
