Episode 306 - A Nobody From Nowhere - The Tower Murders

2/22/2026
North Port, Florida is built for fresh starts, quiet streets, new homes, friendly neighbors. On Mallicoat Road, Robbie and Jennifer Tower were the kind of people who made a neighborhood feel like family. Always present. Always helping. Always opening the door. Then one summer night, a Ring doorbell rang just before midnight. A voice screaming for help. Blood on a front porch. A car slipping into the dark. By morning, the town wasn’t asking what happened. It was asking who could have done it.

2/15/2026
When a woman in Wisconsin is found dead in the woods, the explanation seems almost ready-made. It is built from familiar truths, repeated often enough to sound convincing. But as investigators dig deeper, small inconsistencies begin to surface. Timelines shift. Messages do not quite fit. And what first appears straightforward slowly turns into something far more unsettling.

Episode 304 - Interstate Nightmare – The Tragic Case of the Williston Five

2/8/2026
It was a calm fall night in Vermont when something suddenly felt off. A neighbor heard an engine roar through the quiet, then take off again. Not long after, sirens filled the air. By morning, the state was trying to understand how five teenagers had lost their lives, and how one man, Steven Bourgoin, became the center of a tragedy that would haunt Vermont for years. What happened on the highway was only part of the story. The harder question was what led up to it, and whether it could have been stopped.

Episode 303 - What Are We Supposed to Say? - The Murder of Joey Carnot

2/1/2026
In the summer of 2024, a woman retreats into isolation, filling notebooks with carefully written details and rehearsing every line until it feels unshakable. To anyone watching, it looks like preparation. Discipline. Control. But what she is preparing for has nothing to do with school. When police are called to a Wisconsin apartment late one humid night, the story they’re given seems simple enough. Yet as investigators begin to listen closely, timelines shift, memories fracture, and the same brief window of time splinters into conflicting versions of the truth.

Episode 301 - The Promise of the Road - The Jessica Goodrich Case

1/18/2026
Under the glare of fluorescent lights, the world feels suspended in time. Highway stops where strangers cross paths for minutes and then vanish back into the dark. Places built on movement, anonymity, and trust between people who know almost nothing about each other. When that trust is misplaced, a journey meant for escape or healing can quietly turn into something far more dangerous. What begins on the open road, in a place designed only for passing through, drifts toward a destination no one expects. Some crossroads are meant to lead you forward. Others are where everything stops.

Between The Madness - Episode 1 - A Routine Interrupted - The Porco Family

1/8/2026
A quiet Monday morning. A trusted routine that suddenly breaks. And a crime scene that left investigators asking how any of it was possible. In this episode, we unravel a case built not on eyewitnesses but on movement, silence, and a timeline that refuses to behave the way it should. A family forever altered and a truth that remains deeply contested. Sometimes the most unsettling stories are not about what was seen but about what happened after no one was watching.

Episode 299 - Fire & Fury – The Murders of Jerome and Dora Faulkner

1/4/2026
An elderly couple known for their quiet lives and deep roots in North Carolina are found dead, setting off an investigation that stretches far beyond a single crime scene. What begins with an early-morning fire along a rural highway soon collides with a second act of violence nearly two hundred miles away. As authorities follow the trail, familiar assumptions fall apart. An arrest brings answers, but also raises unsettling questions about what was planned, what was hidden, and how much more lay beneath the surface.
