In November 2022, 22-year-old Jasmine Pace, a vibrant Chattanooga student with a heart full of love for her family and cats, vanished just before Thanksgiving. Grieving her grandmother’s death, she climbed into her white Chevy Equinox after a tearful night, unknowingly driving toward a chilling mystery. A strange, out-of-character Facebook post in sexy lingerie—missing her recent tattoos—set off alarms. Her car, found abandoned with the seat pushed back too far for her petite frame, held secrets. Digital clues, a suspicious phone call, and a trail of blood lead to a truth too dark to fathom.

Then came a chilling 911 call in the dead of night, a blood-soaked crime scene, and a lone survivor with a wild tale of hippie intruders.

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.

It was a warm February day in Kalamazoo, Michigan, 2016. A simple Uber ride turns into a heart-pounding nightmare as passenger Matt Mellon finds himself trapped with an unhinged driver, Jason Dalton, speeding through residential streets at 80 mph, a German shepherd cowering in the backseat. What starts as erratic driving spirals into something far darker—a rampage that leaves six dead, two clinging to life, and a community in shock.

In May 1985, a Fayetteville neighborhood froze. Newspapers stacked up outside the Eastburn home as a baby’s cries echoed inside. Katie Eastburn and her daughters, Kara, 5, and Erin, 3, lay brutally stabbed—21-month-old Jana left alone in her crib for days. A dog named Dixie, a white Chevette, and a blond stranger sparked a 25-year hunt for justice. Three trials. DNA that wouldn’t stay buried. But the truth? It twisted through decades of lies, suspicion, and a killer who almost slipped away. What really happened that night—and why did it take so long to unmask the monster? Dive into the haunting Eastburn murders now.
