On the night of April 17th in 1990, Deborah Waggoner had what seemed like an ordinary plan. Around 7 PM, she left her South Greensburg home in her faded green 1976 Chevrolet Malibu. She told her boyfriend, Charles Stader, that she was headed to the nearby coin-operated Carbon Car Wash to clean her car. It was close by, so Charles didn’t expect her to be gone for more than an hour. Before she left, he’d asked her to grab a pack of cigarettes on her way home, and she agreed. That was the last time anyone saw Deborah alive.

On West 97th Street in Cleveland, Ohio, tragedy struck when police discovered 16-month-old Jailyn Candelario unresponsive inside her Pack ‘N Play. First responders tried to save her, but it was too late—Jailyn was pronounced dead at the scene. What officers found inside the home was deeply disturbing, and the condition of both the residence and the toddler immediately raised red flags for investigators. This was no tragic accident.

Warning: The details that follow about Jailyn’s condition are deeply unsettling. Behind every headline and police report is a little girl who deserved love, safety, and care. Jailyn Candelario’s short life ended far too soon, and those who knew her will forever carry the weight of knowing she did not receive the protection she needed.

Voice your thoughts:If you could say one thing to Jailyn today, what would it be?

Most commonly known as Heather Turner—was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of the home she shared with her husband. The shower was still running, and she had a gunshot wound to the head.

Heather's death happened at a time when several things in their lives were raising red flags. Allegedly, Heather was planning to leave the relationship with Andy the very next day. But here we are, nearly a decade later, and her case remains in limbo—officially labeled as "undetermined."

In 2019, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation claimed to have handed over their findings to the District Attorney. But the DA’s office says they never received them. Meanwhile, local police say their hands are tied, and Heather’s family continues to be left in the dark.

Adding to the unease are chilling reported threats like, “If I could do this to Heather, what makes you think I couldn’t do this to you?” —allegedly said by Andy to his girlfriend, who came into the picture after Heather's death.

Join us as we break down the red tape and take a closer look at a case that seems deliberately stalled—in a community where some believe turning up the silence on her case will not do any good.

A hundred years ago, being ‘different’ could land you in a lunatic asylum—places of abuse, neglect, and forgotten souls. In this episode of Weird History, we uncover the dark past of America’s psychiatric institutions, from Nellie Bly’s daring undercover exposé at Blackwell’s Island to the horrors of lobotomies and modern-day abuses in ‘troubled teen’ facilities. History’s ghosts aren’t as far away as we think.

Nearly 30 years have passed since Heather Teague vanished from a Kentucky beach, but her mother, Sarah, refuses to let her story be forgotten.

In the summer of 1518, the people of Strasbourg started dancing… and just didn’t stop. No, seriously—they danced for days, some even to their deaths. Was it a curse? A case of mass hysteria? Or just some really bad moldy bread?

In this fun bonus episode, Ashley and Ricky are taking a little break from true crime to bring you something weird from history. Don’t worry—our regular weekly crime episodes aren’t going anywhere. We just love strange stories and history… and we love you.

Thanks for listening and keeping things crunchy!

In February 2009, 14-year-old Amber Dubois disappeared while walking to school in Escondido, California. Her family searched tirelessly—without answers. A year later, 17-year-old Chelsea King went missing during her routine run in a nearby park.

Was this a total coincidence that two young girls completely vanished? Or was there a serial killer to blame? In this episode, we piece together the facts behind Amber’s disappearance, the shocking investigation into serial offender John Gardner, and how one mother’s heartbreak became a mission to protect others.
