Crime Nerds

In August of 2013, 25 year old Tiffany Daniels went missing. A lot of strange things happened around the time of her disappearance. The day before, her boyfriend moved to a new town several hours away, she recently got a new roommate under an odd situation, and on the day she went missing, she asked her boss if she could leave early, which was also out of character for her. With all of these strange things happening around the time of her disappearance, it left the investigators no shortage of work. 

You can listen to this episode to learn more about the mysterious disappearance.

In 1979, 18 year old Michelle Martinko went to the mall to pick out a new coat for the winter. When she didn't return home that night, her parents reported her missing. When the officers responded to the mall, they found her car, with a horrible crime scene. Michelle had been stabbed to death inside of her car. 

While investigators narrowed in on one man from the beginning, it would take exactly 39 years for someone to be arrested for Michelle's murder.

In 1998 Amy Bradley went on a cruise to the Caribbean with her dad, mom, and younger brother. It was supposed to be a great time, she had just graduated college, got her own apartment, and was getting ready to start a new job. Her brother was in college and it was the perfect time for the family to spend a little time together before getting back to their busy lives.

What was supposed to be a trip of a lifetime turned into tragedy. Two days into the trip Amy went missing.

Many theories have come out since then. Could she have jumped over board? Or was she kidnapped and forced into sex trafficking? After possible sightings of her have turned up around the Caribbean, the investigation is leaning more towards the latter.

Listen to this episode to learn more about Amy's case.

When Bethany Decker went missing in the beginning of 2011, she was in the middle of a "love triangle." Cases typically aren't solved within an hour, within 48 hours, or even overnight. It would take  years and unfortunately an attack on another woman who survived, for someone to be charged in Bethany's case.
