35-year-old Claudia Lawrence disappeared in England in 2009. She was scheduled to be at work at 6 a.m. on Thursday, March 19, 2009, but failed to show up. The investigation into her disappearance that resulted has been heavily scrutinized. One thing many people have pointed out over the years is the lack of seriousness that the police initially placed on Claudia's disappearance.
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the mysterious disappearance of Claudia Lawrence. Theories abound in this case from the probable to the highly unlikely. Even with CCTV footage, fingerprints, and DNA evidence, the police have not yet been able to piece together what happened to Claudia. Some news outlets have even reported that the police have dragged Claudia's name through the mud because they don't approve of the way she lived her life. She deserves justice and her family deserves to know what happened to her and who is responsible.

True crime

Can a person commit heinous crimes, including murder, while sleepwalking? There have been many cases over the years where sleepwalking has been used as a defense.
Join Mike and Morf as they discuss cases involving murder and sleepwalking. In some cases, the victim is in the same house. In others, the person drove their car to the murder scene. Ultimately, as it always is, it's up to a jury to decide what happened and the defendant's fate.
