After more than 13 seasons and 100 episodes, we turn the spotlight inwards to discuss the psychology of true crime fans (agar agar la). So, why do we like to listen to true crime? Does it serve a purpose? Does listening to true crime affect our day to day lives? And what would you do if you were trapped with a serial killer for 24 hours? Tune in to find out more.

In 1980, 19 year old Robert Shafran had just started college in New York when he came across a rather unusual predicament. While he was on campus, he was repeatedly mistaken for another student by the name of Eddy Galland. And when they eventually met, the resemblance was eerily uncanny; both had identical features, had the same birthday, shared the same quirks, and were even adopted children. The meeting was so peculiar that it was even publicized on local newspapers and television, which is where things took another strange turn. David Kellman came across the story in the papers, and recognized his own faces.

In this episode, we switch up the format as Kady shares a collection of bizarre stories. From a painting that survives fires to an urban legend about a boy with no face to a scarecrow that comes to life, each tale is carefully curated to be creepier than the last. But here's the thing though, which of them are actually true? Tune in to find out more.

We continue with the case of Cari Farver and her seemingly bizarre actions after her disappearance. Over time, Farver's supposed harassment becomes even more severe, escalating from simple texts and emails to arson, animal abuse, and even an attempted murder. But with the case ongoing as long as it has, it would only be a matter of time before a fresh pair of eyes would catch sight of the oddities in the case, and unravel the whole charade for what it really was.

In 2012, Cari Farver left for work early in the morning and bid goodbye to her partner Dave Kroupa, only to never be seen again. Except that Dave would begin receiving strange texts and emails from Cari; initially a request to move in together, but quickly escalating to bouts of anger and verbal abuse. What made this even more bizarre, was that the onslaught of texts would continue over the next four years, and reach not only Dave but also his former partner, and even Cari's own mother. This thus begs the question, where in the world was Cari Farver? And a more chilling thought, was she even the one behind these texts to begin with? Tune in to find out more.

In 2020, Brett Fairley was a young, strapping, 24 year old when he stumbled across Maria Nguyen at her birthday party, leading to a one-night stand. Bizarrely, after receiving no contact from Maria for a few months, she suddenly texts him with a peculiar request: can you be my sperm donor? And after repeated assurances from Maria that there would be no strings attached, Brett agrees. But what Brett didn't know at the time was that life-changing decisions should probably never be made off of simple promises, and that things were just about to get incredibly messy.

In October of 2020, Texas state troopers were on duty when they pulled over a car for erratic driving.

In 1993, police in Keelung city, Taiwan, received a report from a young woman who claimed that her husband had been missing for 2 weeks. A few days into the investigation, they would make a peculiar discovery within a cave on the northern coast - a cardboard box with hot pot ingredient labels, and dismembered limbs scattered around. But what's even more bizarre, is that when the young woman came down to identify the remains, she could immediately tell that it wasn't her husband. Tune in to find out more.

In the summer of 1945, a group of young teenage girls were away on Dance Camp in the scenic desert landscape of Ruidoso, New Mexico, when they encountered a bizarre incident. In the middle of the night, they were awoken by a strange, bright light, and a booming sound in the distance. When they stepped outside hours later, they noticed that fine, white particles were falling from the sky; and began to play with it as they thought it was some kind of miraculous desert snow. The repercussions of this incident wouldn't be felt until later. Farm animals and crops in the vicinity began dying of unnatural causes. People got sick, and just a few decades, all but 2 of the teenage girls had died from various cancers. Tune in to find out more.

In 1986, John Ruetten was leaving his home for work when his wife, Sherri Rasmussen, said that she felt sick and would be staying at home for the day. But upon returning home later in the evening, John would find the garage door open, his wife's car missing, and a huge mess throughout the house. Tragically, he would also find Sherri lifeless on the floor, in what appeared to be a burglary gone wrong. Investigations would investigate this lead in the coming months, citing the crime as part of a spree of burglaries within the area. However, more than 20 years later, a deeper look into the case would support a different theory; one that was closer to the police than they initially thought. Tune in to find out more.

But while things looked rosy from the surface, tension was quickly growing from the adopted children's biological parents. They were constantly trying to get in touch with their children even after legally giving them away, and the Pence family even had welfare checks called on them on numerous occasions. After reaching his breaking point, Christopher Pence decided that enough was enough, and embarked on a more permanent solution. Tune in to find out more.
