Chillworthy

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.

When beloved veterinarian Bryan Rein is found dead inside his own home, the scene seems straightforward at first glance. But it doesn’t take long for the story to unravel. Three gunshots. Conflicting details. And a timeline that raises more questions than answers.

Those closest to Bryan insist something isn’t right. Strange phone calls. A past relationship that wouldn’t stay in the past. And a growing sense that Bryan may have known he was in danger before the night everything went silent.

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?

In June 2021, 24-year-old geologist Daniel Robinson left a job site in the desert outside Buckeye and seemingly vanished.

Days later, his Jeep was discovered deep in the desert, badly damaged and abandoned. The crash scene raised more questions than answers. His phone, wallet, and keys were still there. But Daniel was gone.

As investigators tried to piece together what happened in the vast emptiness of the Arizona desert, inconsistencies and unanswered questions began to surface. Was this a tragic accident in the unforgiving landscape, or is there something more hidden in the sand?

In this episode of Chillworthy, we explore the mysterious disappearance of Daniel Robinson, the troubling details surrounding the crash site, and the relentless search by a father who refuses to stop looking for answers. Leaving us with more questions than answers

Out in the Buckeye desert, the silence stretches for miles.
And somewhere within it, the truth may still be waiting to be found.

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.

In the early hours of a September morning in 1922, two bodies were discovered beneath a crabapple tree in rural New Jersey—posed side by side, their private love letters torn and scattered between them. One was a respected Episcopal minister.

The other, a married choir singer and mother of two. What followed was not just a murder investigation, but a public unraveling of secrets involving forbidden love, wealth, power, and a community desperate to protect its own. Evidence was mishandled, witnesses were discredited, and a trial dubbed the crime of the century captivated the nation during the height of the Jazz Age. In this episode of Chillworthy, we explore the Hall–Mills Murder: a scandal that blurred the line between justice and privilege, and a mystery that remains unsolved more than a century later. Was it a crime of passion?

A calculated act of revenge?

Or something quietly buried beneath influence and reputation? Some crimes shout.

This one still whispers.

In the high desert of northeastern Utah, there is a place where footprints appear without warning… and stop just as suddenly.

Skinwalker Ranch has become one of the most infamous locations in the world—linked to massive wolf-like creatures, shapeshifters drawn from Indigenous lore, mutilated livestock, glowing orbs, and encounters that defy biology, physics, and reason. Witnesses describe animals that can’t be injured, creatures that seem to vanish mid-stride, and tracks in the snow that lead nowhere.

In this episode of Chillworthy, we trace the history of Skinwalker Ranch—from early rancher reports to government-funded investigations—and examine the creature sightings that continue to haunt the land. Are these cryptids? Interdimensional beings? Psychological projection? Or something far more unsettling?

Because at Skinwalker Ranch, the evidence doesn’t just disappear.

It stops.

Liese Dodd was weeks away from becoming a mother when her life was brutally taken. What began as a troubled relationship would escalate into one of the most disturbing crimes in recent memory—leaving a community searching for answers and justice..

In this episode of Chillworthy, we walk through the timeline of Liese’s final days, examining the warning signs, the relationship dynamics, and the events that led investigators to uncover the truth. From the initial disappearance to the shocking discovery and eventual sentencing, this case exposes the devastating consequences of intimate partner violence and the failures that can occur when threats are dismissed.

While the details are unsettling, our focus remains on Liese—her life, her voice, and the justice pursued in her name. This is a case that demands to be told, not for shock value, but to ensure she is remembered and that her story is not reduced to the brutality of how it ended.

On Christmas morning in 2011, in Grapevine, Texas — a city proudly known as the Christmas Capital of Texas — a family gathered in a quiet apartment to exchange gifts, share laughter, and celebrate the holiday together. The lights were on, the presents were opened, and for a brief moment, everything felt normal.

Then there was a knock at the door.

Standing outside was a familiar figure dressed as Santa Claus. What should have been a symbol of joy and tradition instead marked the beginning of unimaginable violence. Within minutes, six members of the same family would be dead,  their lives taken during what should have been one of the happiest mornings of the year.

In this episode of Chillworthy, we examine the Santa Claus massacre,  a calculated and deeply personal act driven by financial collapse, marital breakdown, and a man unraveling behind the costume he wore. Through a chilling final text message, a whispered 911 call, and evidence of careful planning, this case exposes how desperation and control can masquerade as reconciliation and how horror can arrive wrapped in holiday cheer.

Listener discretion advised.

In June of 1987, sixteen-year-old Theresa Ann Bier vanished in the rugged wilderness near Shuteye Peak outside of Bass Lake, California — and the explanation given for her disappearance would become one of the strangest in true crime history.

Theresa had gone into the mountains with an older man she trusted, reportedly on a trip to look for Bigfoot. She never came home. The man returned alone, offering shifting stories — including the chilling claim that Theresa had been taken by a creature lurking in the forest.

Despite extensive searches and decades of investigation, Theresa was never found. In this episode of Chillworthy, we step into the dense Sierra Nevada woods to examine the facts, the contradictions, and the eerie silence left behind.

What really happened beneath the trees that day? And why does this case continue to haunt investigators more than 35 years later?

This is the story of a young girl, a wilderness that keeps its secrets, and whispers that refuse to fade.
