On Halloween night in 2011, 18-year-old Taylor Van Diest left her Armstrong, British Columbia home dressed in costume, excited to meet friends for an evening of harmless fun. It was a night that should have been filled with laughter, small-town festivities, and teenage memories. Instead, it became one of the region’s most haunting tragedies.

When Taylor didn’t arrive as planned, worry turned to fear. She was soon found gravely injured near a set of train tracks — the victim of a brutal, senseless attack that sent shockwaves far beyond her community. As investigators raced to uncover what happened, fragments of forensic evidence, a chilling text message, and a growing list of unanswered questions all pointed toward a predator hiding in plain sight.

In this episode, we retrace Taylor’s final walk, the discoveries that unraveled the truth, and the complex legal journey that followed. We explore how a town’s Halloween celebration was forever marked by violence, how Taylor’s family fought for justice, and how her case continues to echo years later.

On September 7, 1997, hunters roaming the dense, mist-covered trails of North Carolina’s Pisgah National Forest stumbled upon something far more chilling than wildlife. Scattered across the forest floor—near a quiet, remote campground—lay human bones, clothing, and personal items, most gathered around a shallow grave.

Forensic investigators determined the remains belonged to a woman between 40 and 55, known only by the clues her body carried: a severely arthritic knee, a torn bra marked with deep holes and cuts, and bones bearing the unmistakable signs of a violent stabbing.

When the victim was eventually identified as Judy Smith, a devoted mother and nurse who had gone missing under puzzling circumstances, the story only grew darker. What was Judy doing in a forest hundreds of miles from where she was last seen? Who brought her there—and why?

This week on Chillworthy, Talia, and Brent unravel the haunting and bizarre disappearance of Judy Smith, a case tangled in secrecy, conflicting timelines, and a brutal end hidden beneath the pines.

The Barbizon Hotel wasn’t just a place to stay — it was a promise. For generations of young women arriving in New York City with stars in their eyes, the Barbizon was their first taste of independence, sophistication, and hope. Behind its elegant brick façade and strict “ladies only” rules, it offered safety, sisterhood, and a chance to become someone. Its residents included models, debutantes, writers, and actresses — women like Sylvia Plath, Grace Kelly, and Joan Didion — all drawn to its mix of exclusivity and possibility.

But within its pristine halls, whispers of loneliness, heartbreak, and obsession grew louder. The Barbizon’s walls have seen more than polite conversation and shared dreams — they’ve witnessed despair, scandal, and death. When tragedy struck within the hotel’s walls, it shattered the illusion of glamour and exposed the darker side of ambition and isolation in mid-century Manhattan.

In this chilling episode of Chillworthy, we explore the Barbizon’s haunting legacy — from its glittering beginnings to the night a dreamer’s life was cut short. Was it an accident? A desperate act? Or something far more sinister? Step inside the Barbizon, where every hallway tells a story — and not all of them have a happy ending.

On January 11, 2013, the body of 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was discovered inside a rolled-up gym mat at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Authorities quickly ruled his death an accident — a tragic mishap, they said, when Kendrick tried to retrieve a shoe and became trapped inside the mat. But almost immediately, nothing about the story made sense.

Security footage appeared incomplete. His organs were missing when the body was returned to his family. Blood evidence was ignored. And witnesses changed their stories. As the official explanations grew thinner, Kendrick’s parents began their own investigation — one that exposed inconsistencies, uncovered lost evidence, and challenged powerful local authorities who seemed intent on staying silent.

More than a decade later, the questions remain: How did Kendrick really die? Why were crucial details mishandled or hidden? And who benefits from the silence that still surrounds this case? 

In this episode of Chillworthy, we trace the disturbing timeline of Kendrick Johnson’s death, from the moment he was last seen alive to the years of protests, reopened investigations, and lingering shadows of a cover-up. It’s a story of grief, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of truth in the face of systemic silence.

In the dead of night, first-grade teacher Bridget Kelly sat alone in her apartment, preparing for bed—until an intruder forced his way in with a gun. What followed was horror: an abduction, rape, and gunshots in a remote field. But when all odds seemed lost, Bridget chose to keep fighting.

In this episode of Chillworthy, we trace the darkest moments of that night in Killeen, Texas—the forced drive at gunpoint, the terror in the backseat, the betrayal of trust, the moments of pleading, and the shocking violence meant to end her life. Yet, her spirit refused to die. Crawling through pain and fear, she made a break for safety, knocking on strangers’ doors in desperation until one answered.

How did she survive? What haunted her after the assault? And how did that night change everything she knew about vulnerability and strength?

Join us as we unravel the timeline of violence and the aftershocks of resilience—this is Chillworthy exploring survival, trauma, and the quiet resolve that can emerge from heartbreak.

A summer day at Devil’s Den State Park should have been filled with laughter, love, and the simple joy of family. Instead, it became the site of a devastating crime. Clinton David Brink, 43, and Cristen Amanda Brink, 41, were brutally stabbed to death while their two young daughters stood only steps away. It was the girls’ quick actions—alerting nearby adults—that brought help, but not before unimaginable loss had already unfolded.

The manhunt that followed gripped Arkansas. Investigators traced a trail of evidence—security footage, DNA, and witness accounts—that led to the arrest of 28-year-old elementary school teacher Andrew James McGann. He now stands charged with two counts of capital murder and has entered a plea of not guilty.

As prosecutors weigh the possibility of the death penalty, questions remain: what led to this horrific attack, and why were the Brinks targeted? In the Season 2 finale of Chillworthy, we focus on the lives of Clinton and Cristen Brink, their love, and the family they built—while also unraveling the investigation that shocked a community and turned a state park into a crime scene.

From candlelit fortune tellers to modern-day TikTok readings, tarot cards have traveled a strange and shadowy path through history. In this episode of Chillworthy, we trace the cards’ origins back to 15th-century Europe, when they were a pastime for the wealthy elite—long before whispers of prophecy and the occult clung to their edges.

You’ll discover how Tarot evolved into a tool of divination, tangled in superstition, mysticism, and even fear. We’ll explore infamous legends, unsettling symbolism, and stories of those who claim the cards foretold doom. Whether you see tarot as harmless guidance, a doorway to the subconscious, or a dangerous glimpse beyond the veil, we’re shuffling the deck and dealing out the truth behind the lore.

On February 9, 2023, Crystal McCrory Jones was found dead in her home in Oak Grove, Louisiana — a single gunshot wound to the head. Within less than two hours, her death was ruled a suicide.  The official inquiry? A seven-minute interview. No autopsy. No forensic follow-up.

Crystal’s sister, Jana, isn’t buying it. And neither are we.

In this episode of Chillworthy, we answer Jana’s call — and step into a case riddled with contradictions: bruises dismissed as “lividity,” a missing shell casing conveniently “found” later by her husband, and a cremation that was rushed before questions could even be asked.

Now, with renowned private investigator Sheila Wysocki on the case, Jana is fighting not just for answers — but for accountability in a town where silence has been easier than truth. Was this a suicide? Or was it a story written too quickly by people too close to the badge?

In late March of 1922, the Gruber family and their maid were living quiet, isolated lives on a remote Bavarian farm known as Hinterkaifeck. But unsettling events began to break the silence. Footprints appeared in the snow leading to the home—none leaving. Keys vanished. Footsteps echoed from the attic, though no one should have been there. Days later, six bodies—Andreas and Cäzilia Gruber, their daughter Viktoria, her two children, and their new maid—were discovered brutally murdered.

A century later, the questions remain: Who stalked the Grubers in those final days? What compelled them to stay despite the signs of danger? And how did a killer live undetected on their farm after the murders, feeding livestock and eating meals as the bodies lay just yards away?

Join Chillworthy as we unravel the eerie timeline, dissect the most compelling theories—from vengeful neighbors to secret lovers and wandering soldiers—and explore why the Hinterkaifeck murders still haunt true crime investigators and paranormal enthusiasts alike.
