You know how some people just give you the creeps? This Sapp piece of garbage was next-level dark. It all starts with a woman named Una Timmons, just walking down the road one night in 1996, when Sapp pulls up offering a ride. Sounds innocent enough, right? But things quickly take a turn. She barely escapes, and when the cops start peeling back the layers on this guy, it’s like opening a door to a nightmare. There’s this one chilling detail that ties him to some truly horrifying crimes, including cases with kids. It’s the kind of story that makes your stomach twist, wondering how someone gets that twisted. And the way it unravels, with confessions spilling out and old cases cracking open, it’s like a puzzle you can’t stop thinking about. You’re gonna want to hear this one. It’s haunting.

You’re out for a run, the trail stretching ahead, fresh air filling your lungs. It’s your time to unwind, to feel strong. But for Rachel Morin, a 37-year-old mom of five, that peace was shattered on a summer evening in 2023. She headed out on Maryland’s Ma & Pa Trail, a place she loved, and never came home. What happened to her—a brutal crime that shook a community—exposes a chilling reality: for women, even a simple walk can carry unspoken risks.

Allison dives into Rachel’s story, a vibrant woman whose life was cut short, and the relentless search for her killer that spanned states and borders. We’ll talk ab out the dangers women face outdoors, the gut-wrenching details of her case, and the emotional questions it raises about safety, justice, and how we protect ourselves when the world feels unsafe. It’s a conversation that’ll hit you hard and leave you thinking long after it ends.

On a cold January night in Pittsburgh, 2017, 23-year-old Dakota James—smart, sarcastic, and openly gay—heads out for drinks with friends. He’s last spotted on a blurry surveillance clip, walking down an alley near the Allegheny River, phone in hand. Then, he disappears. Forty days later, his body surfaces ten miles downstream, ruled an accidental drowning. But his parents, Pam and Jeff, refuse to accept it. Was it a fatal slip into icy waters, or something sinister—like the Smiley Face Killers, a haunting theory of serial murders targeting young men? Tune in as we explore Dakota’s story: a life cut short, a family’s fight for truth, and a mystery balancing on the edge of accident or evil.
