The cousins are off this week but we wanted to revisit a story we covered back in May of 2023 because this case remains unsolved to this day. You will hear from Alayna will about two women were found shot to death inside a car parked in front of an abandoned home, in a small town in Oklahoma. Someone knows something - let's get these girls some justice.

If you have any information regarding the murders of Emily Morgan and Totinika Elix, please call the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation at 800-522-8017 or email [email protected]

On a brisk April morning in 1992, the quiet town of Agawam, Massachusetts stirred awake like any other day. But just before 9 a.m., an unsettling discovery disrupted the usual mundane routine. A clerk at Brittany’s Card & Gift Shop was surprised to find her coworker Lisa Ziegert’s car sat in the parking lot, yet Lisa was nowhere to be found. Inside, the unease deepened: Lisa’s coat, wallet, and keys were left behind, and the back storeroom bore chilling signs of a struggle. Overcome with fear, the clerk bolted across the street to call the police—setting into motion a mystery that would haunt the town for decades to come.

When a former EastEnders actress, Gemma McCluskie, vanished without a trace in the dead of winter 2012, panic gripped her loved ones and community. Once a familiar face on the beloved British soap, she'd traded the spotlight for a quieter life working in nightclubs and bars—still vibrant, still full of life. It wouldn't be long before everyone learned her horrifying fate and that they'd all been rubbing shoulders with her killer the whole time.

It was after midnight in late May 2001 in quiet Surrey, England. Chris Donovan, his brother, and their friend met up at a local takeaway so they could walk home together - never knowing a chance encounter was about to up-end their lives and send shockwaves through the community. What followed was a painstaking investigation by two relentless detectives to prove culpability, and an extraordinary act of grace by grieving parents who would redefine the meaning of forgiveness.
