We are back this week with our 2nd Halloween True Crime Story rerun. Kendra brings us the tragic murder of Martha Moxley, still considered "unsolved" today. But everyone kind of knows who did it... Greenwich, CT was the place you moved to keep your kids safe, especially if you could afford the elite Bell Haven neighborhood. But the illusion of safety was shattered for everyone in the community when the beautiful, young 15 year old Martha was found bludgeoned to death on Halloween...in her own backyard. How could something like this happen?? Police were not prepared to handle a homicide investigation and the case went cold for many years. 20 years after her death, new information led to the conviction of someone that lived very close to Martha with ties to the Kennedy family. He would be sentenced 20 years to life but would only serve 11 years before he was released on appeal. To this day, the Moxley family has no clear answers or closure for the senseless death of their beloved daughter. Let's discuss how money and influential family ties may have played into this miscarriage of justice. __________ Please rate and subscribe on iTunes and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!

Arpana was a beautiful, talented, wildly smart 24-year-old living her best life in Redmond, Washington, when her life was cut short. She held an apartment-wide Halloween party with other residents. This fun night ended in her brutal murder. The question remains today, 15 years later… Who did it? One person was charged with her death, but he was acquitted, and for good reason. But why is this case so hard to solve? The answer is multi-faceted - DNA, racism, and shoddy police work. You name it. There was a plethora of DNA with no strong matches, but we think we know who the culprit is. And we think you’ll agree! Join us as we go over all the possibilities. --- Please rate and subscribe on iTunes and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!!

Kendra covers one of the most haunting and heartbreaking cases of recent years: the story of Chris Watts. In August 2018, the seemingly picture-perfect Watts family of Frederick, Colorado, was torn apart by an unthinkable crime. Shanann Watts, a devoted wife and mother, along with her two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, vanished without a trace. As friends and neighbors rallied to find them, Chris Watts appeared on camera pleading for their safe return. But behind his calm demeanor was a cold-blooded killer. In our 2nd episode of this 2 part series on the Watts family murders, we will discuss what happened after Shanann returned home from her trip on Aug 13, the grim discovery, Chris' confession and the aftermath from the murders of Shanann, Bella and Celeste. We will also discuss our take on what Chris Watts may have been thinking, what experts believe led up to his brutal actions and where everyone is at today. __________ Please rate and subscribe on your favorite Podcast platform!

Hey Lab Rats! We’re back just in time for Lab Reports! We share a listener's story of a haunted doll and a cautionary tale about stranger danger and escaping a potential serial killer. For our first Mini-Episode, we discuss a 67-year-old mystery. On November 8, 1957, Pan Am Flight 7 departed San Francisco for Honolulu on what was supposed to be a routine trans-Pacific crossing. Instead, it vanished. Wreckage was later discovered scattered across the ocean, along with the bodies of some passengers, but no clear answers ever surfaced. Was it mechanical failure, sabotage, or something more sinister? For Jessica’s Mini-Episode, we cover a Colorado nightmare. In October 2023, authorities uncovered 191 decomposing bodies inside Colorado’s Return to Nature Funeral Home, exposing a web of fraud and betrayal by owners Jon and Carie Hallford. We unravel how their eco-friendly façade collapsed into one of the most disturbing scandals in U.S. funeral industry history, from the grisly discovery to the Hallfords’ charges, sentencing, and ongoing trials. And to top it off - yet another Colorado funeral home has been caught in August 2025 doing some very similar things - Davis Mortuary in Pueblo, CO. --- Please rate and subscribe on iTunes and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Lucid Lab Podcast on social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube) @lucidlabpodcast Send your questions and episode suggestions to lucidlabpodcast@gmail.com Have a special experience or story you want to share?

In September 1972, a dog returned home carrying a decomposed human forearm, leading police to a steep cliff in Springfield, New Jersey, ominously known as “Devil’s Teeth.” There, they discovered the nearly skeletal remains of 16‑year‑old Jeannette DePalma, who had been missing for six weeks. What followed became one of New Jersey’s strangest unsolved cases—an investigation clouded by rumors of witchcraft, missing evidence, and conflicting theories that still divide the community today. More than fifty years later, Jeannette’s death remains a mystery despite many theories and possible suspects. Was she the victim of occult violence, a local predator, a serial killer, or something else entirely? Join us as we dive deep into the facts, the folklore, and the frustrating gaps in this enduring cold case. We also discuss other victims possibly connected to Jeannette’s killer: Joan Kramer, Carol Ann Farino, Mary Ann Pryor, and Lorraine Marie Kelley. --- Please rate and subscribe on iTunes and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Lucid Lab Podcast on social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube) @lucidlabpodcast Send your questions and episode suggestions to lucidlabpodcast@gmail.com Have a special experience or story you want to share?

We are covering 2 cases this week on our special Under the Microscope episode. First, Kendra brings us The Hello Kitty Murder case, a brutal killing of a poor woman in Hong Kong with a macabre twist that involves a Hello Kitty doll. Fan Man-Yee was subjected to the kinds of torture that no human being should ever have to face, with the only reason being that she stole $500 USD. Jessica covers the death of Francis Braum. What begins as a night of drinking between two longtime friends ends in one of the most horrifying and surreal tragedies you’ve likely never heard of. In 2004, 21-year-old John Hutcherson drove home with the headless body of his friend, Francis Brohm, still strapped into the passenger seat beside him — and claimed he didn’t remember anything.

In this week's episode, Kendra takes a look at the Turpin Family tragedy, one that shocked the world when a brave 17 year-old Jordan Turpin escaped from her home in California to call 911. What was uncovered after that call was straight out of a horror movie. 13 children, some of them well into adulthood, being held captive in literal shackles by their own parents and subjected to some of the worst abuse you can imagine. We will examine the family background and what led to this disturbing discovery in 2018. __________ Please rate, subscribe and leave a nice comment about Lucid Lab Podcast on your favorite platform!

In November of 1970, a hiker and his daughters stumbled upon a charred body in Norway’s remote Isdalen Valley. What followed was one of the most puzzling investigations in modern history. The woman had no ID, traveled under at least nine aliases, spoke multiple languages, and carried a suitcase full of wigs, forged documents, and coded notes. Was she a spy? A smuggler? Or simply someone trying to disappear? In this episode, we dive deep into the facts, the forensics, and the theories that still surround the case of the Isdal Woman. --- Please rate and subscribe on iTunes and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Lucid Lab Podcast on social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube) @lucidlabpodcast Send your questions and episode suggestions to lucidlabpodcast@gmail.com Have a special experience or story you want to share?

She waits in the mirror. Bleeding, furious, forgotten—or maybe remembered too well. In this episode, we have fun diving into the terrifying legend of Bloody Mary: where she came from, who she might really be, and why generations of kids have dared each other to call her name in the dark. Is she a tortured queen, a vengeful witch, or something far older hiding behind your reflection? We explore the history, the ritual, the psychology, and the pop culture impact of one of the most iconic urban legends of all time. And no, the cocktail doesn’t count. --- Please rate and subscribe on iTunes and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Lucid Lab Podcast on social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube) @lucidlabpodcast Send your questions and episode suggestions to lucidlabpodcast@gmail.com Have a special experience or story you want to share?

In September of 1977, 25-year-old Sigrid Stevenson — a gifted pianist and free spirit — was spending the night at Kendall Hall, the theater building on Trenton State College’s campus. She had nowhere else to go, and the stage, with its old piano and quiet darkness, had become a kind of sanctuary for her. The next night, she was found brutally murdered — naked, beaten, and left in the very place that had once brought her peace. Sigrid wasn’t just another student. She was brilliant, a bit unconventional, and deeply passionate about her music. Her life and her death left a mark, and for nearly five decades, her case has remained unsolved — a frustrating mix of silence, dead ends, and lingering questions. In this episode, we dig into the life of Sigrid Stevenson and the strange details surrounding her murder. Was this a random act of violence, or did someone know she was there that night — alone and vulnerable? It’s a story that’s heartbreaking, maddening, and deeply eerie. And the fact that her killer may have walked right back into the world unnoticed? That’s the kind of nightmare that still echoes through Kendall Hall. --- Please rate and subscribe on iTunes and anywhere else you listen to podcasts!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Follow Lucid Lab Podcast on social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube) @lucidlabpodcast Send your questions and episode suggestions to lucidlabpodcast@gmail.com Have a special experience or story you want to share?

For our final week of June reruns, Kendra brings you the story of Travis Walton. Travis went missing for 5 days in the 1970s outside of Snowflake, Arizona. Seven of his coworkers witnessed Travis being struck by a light that was emitted from what they all believed was a flying saucer. When Travis showed back up several days later, disoriented but overall okay, he had a wild tale to share about his time onboard an alien spacecraft. His account would later be made into the 1980s movie Fire in the Sky.

As we continue our June break, this week we are bringing you the remastered Cleveland Abduction episode. We released this in November of 2023 and it has been our most listened to case on the podcast. I feel like we are all drawn to this story because it is truly unbelievable that Ariel Castro got away with the abduction of 3 girls for over a decade! In 2008, the nation was shocked when 3 women were discovered in his home along with a 6-year-old girl who had been born in captivity. These women had been taken while they were young teenagers and re-emerged as traumatized adults. Their stories of what happened behind these locked and closed doors for 11 years was truly shocking. Listen now as we revisit The Cleveland Abductions of Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus. __________ Please rate and subscribe on your favorite podcast platform!
