On a quiet September night in 2009, 24-year-old Mitrice Richardson was released from the Lost Hills Sheriff's Station just after midnight—alone, without her car, her phone, or a ride home. She was more than 15 miles from where she'd last been seen, in the shadow of the Santa Monica Mountains.

She was never seen alive again.

Eleven months later, her remains were discovered in a remote Malibu canyon, raising far more questions than answers. Why was she released into the darkness despite concerns about her mental state? What happened during the hours after she walked away from the station? And why has the case remained clouded by conflicting accounts, missing details, and lingering controversy?

In this episode of Chillworthy, Brent and Talia trace Mitrice's final known movements, examine the investigation that followed, and explore the unanswered questions that continue to haunt her family and the public more than a decade later. Some mysteries aren't defined by what we know—but by what should have never happened in the first place.

🎧 Listen now... and decide for yourself what was lost in the darkness.

In 1977, residents of a quiet Ohio town began receiving anonymous letters—handwritten messages exposing secrets, accusing neighbors of affairs, corruption, and lies, and making chilling threats that felt far too personal to ignore. Whoever was behind them seemed to know intimate details about people’s private lives, turning a close-knit community into a town gripped by paranoia.

At the center of the storm was school bus driver Mary Gillispie, whose life became the obsession of the mysterious writer. Letters accused her of having an affair with a local school superintendent, while her husband, Ron Gillispie, received increasingly threatening messages warning him that his family was in danger. Then, after receiving a mysterious phone call one evening, Ron left home armed—and never came back. His death was ruled an accident, but many believed something far darker had happened.

Years later, the case took an even more disturbing turn when Mary discovered a threatening sign along her bus route that led to a terrifying discovery: a homemade booby trap rigged with a loaded handgun, seemingly designed to kill.

Authorities believed they had finally found their suspect. Paul Freshour, Mary’s brother-in-law, was arrested and convicted in connection with the trap and long suspected of writing the infamous letters.

But then the impossible happened. Even after Paul was sent to prison, the letters kept coming. For years, new messages continued to arrive—taunting victims, exposing secrets, and raising a chilling question that still haunts Circleville to this day: Did investigators catch the wrong person… or was someone else hiding in plain sight the entire time?

This week on Chillworthy, we dive into one of true crime’s strangest and most unsettling unsolved mysteries—one filled with obsession, secrets, suspicion, and a writer who may have never truly been caught.

Deep within the forests of southern New Jersey lies a legend that has survived for more than 250 years. They call it the Jersey Devil — a winged creature said to stalk the Pine Barrens with glowing eyes, impossible screams, and a curse dating back to the 1700s.

In this episode of Chillworthy, we explore the chilling origins of the Jersey Devil legend, from the infamous story of Mother Leeds and her cursed 13th child to the wave of terrifying sightings that swept across New Jersey in 1909. Witnesses described a creature unlike anything they had ever seen: part horse, part bat, part nightmare.

But was it mass hysteria, folklore passed down through generations, or something truly lurking in the Barrens?

From colonial superstition to modern encounters, The Devil of the Barrens dives into one of America’s oldest and most unsettling cryptid legends — and the fear that still echoes through the pines.

A scenic cliffside hike.
An alleged attempted murder that shocked investigators.

Dorothy Jane Scott knew someone was watching her.

For months, she received unsettling phone calls from a man who claimed he loved her—then threatened her life. He knew intimate details about her routine, her family, and her whereabouts. Dorothy was terrified… but had no idea who he was.

In May 1980, after taking a coworker to the hospital, Dorothy stepped into a dark parking lot to get her car—and vanished. Minutes later, her car sped past with the headlights on full beam… but Dorothy was nowhere to be found

Then the phone calls started again

A man repeatedly called her family, calmly claiming he had killed her. The calls continued for years.

Dorothy’s remains were found four years later. Her killer was never identified.

Who was the man behind the calls?
And how close was he to her all along?

This is a case of obsession, fear, and a voice that never stopped.

A mysterious illness. A loving husband. And a diagnosis that should have been impossible.

When Hannah Pettey began experiencing a cascade of alarming symptoms, no one could explain what was happening to her body. Doctors were baffled. Test results didn’t make sense. And as her condition worsened, the question became unavoidable—was this a rare medical mystery… or something far more sinister?

What investigators would eventually uncover tells a chilling story of manipulation, control, and a method of attempted murder so unusual it almost went undetected. As Hannah fought to survive, the truth behind her illness revealed a calculated plan hiding in plain sight.

In this episode of Chillworthy, we explore the case of “A Body Full of Lead: The Impossible Poisoning”—a story where trust became a weapon, and the person closest to her may have been the one slowly killing her.

Because sometimes, the most dangerous threats… don’t look like threats at all.

In the quiet town of Geraldine, Montana, nothing ever really happens... until it does.

Was this truly a suicide… or was something far more calculated hiding in plain sight?

In this episode of Chillworthy, we dig into the unsettling details, the inconsistencies that refuse to be ignored, and the lingering question that still echoes through Big Sky Country....

What really happened to Bryan Rein?

On an October night in 1981, 17-year-old Kurt Sova left home to attend a party in Newburgh Heights, Ohio. Like countless teenagers before him, he expected to be back the next day. But Kurt never made it home.

When he vanished, his family began searching desperately for answers. Five days later, the search ended in tragedy when Kurt’s body was discovered in a ravine less than 500 yards from the house where the party had taken place. Yet the discovery only deepened the mystery. The area had reportedly been searched the day before, the autopsy could not determine a cause of death, and the coroner concluded Kurt had only been dead for about 24–36 hours despite being missing for nearly five days.

Was Kurt the victim of a tragic accident after a night of drinking? Did something happen at the party that others were too afraid to admit? Or was there a darker explanation for how a teenager could disappear—and then suddenly appear dead so close to where he was last seen?

More than four decades later, the strange timeline, missing evidence, and unanswered questions continue to haunt Kurt’s family and investigators alike. In this episode of Chillworthy, we unravel the baffling case of Kurt Sova—a mystery where the truth may still be hiding in the shadows of that Halloween night.

On a quiet November night in 2022, the college town of Moscow, Idaho was shattered by an act of unimaginable violence. Four University of Idaho students, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, were found brutally stabbed to death in their off-campus home in the early morning hours. The shocking crime stunned the community and quickly gripped the nation.

This week on Chillworthy, we break down the chilling case of Bryan Christopher Kohberger, a criminology PhD student at Washington State University who would later be arrested and charged in the quadruple homicide. From the initial discovery of the crime scene and the fear that followed, to the months-long investigation that led authorities from Idaho to Pennsylvania, we trace the steps that brought investigators to their suspect.

We unpack the surveillance footage, DNA evidence, and cellphone data prosecutors say connect Kohberger to the murders, along with the intense public scrutiny and media attention surrounding the case. As the legal process unfolds, questions about motive, intent, and what truly happened inside the King Road house continue to haunt the victims’ families and the public.

Join us as we examine the facts, the theories, and the unanswered questions behind one of the most chilling and closely watched true crime cases of the modern era.
