Maya Kowalski was ten years old when her father brought her to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in October of 2016. The previous year, Maya had been diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome which caused her excruciating pain. Consistent therapy and ketamine treatments had gotten Maya’s condition under control, but she would have flare ups from time to time, and one of these flare ups brought her to the emergency room at All Children's Hospital, complaining of pain in her stomach. Maya would remain at the hospital for the next several months, against the wishes of herself and her parents, lawyers would later say. Her mother Beata Kowalski was accused of neglect and medical abuse, and by the time Maya was finally allowed to go home, her mother was dead, having taken her own life after being forbidden from seeing her sick daughter for 87 days. Maya’s family would go on to sue Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, claiming it’s actions led to Beata Kowalski taking her own life, devastated that she could not see her daughter and that she was being accused of abusing Maya. The Kowalski family also alleged that Maya was medically kidnapped, battered and abused while in the hospital’s care. This lawsuit would bring to the light deeper issues at Johns Hopkins, issues that affected far more than the Kowalski family and lead many of us to ask the question; if you can’t trust those who take an oath to do no harm, who can you trust?

In September of 2018, the bodies of four women were found along roads on the outskirts of Laredo, Texas. 29 year old Melissa Ramirez, 42 year old Claudine Anna Luera, 35 year old Guiselda Alicia Cantu and 28 year old Janelle Ortiz were all sex workers, and an arrest in their murders would be made that same month, but the person responsible for their deaths would shock everyone.

On July 3rd, 2015, 35 year-old mother of five Crystal Rogers disappeared from her hometown of Bardstown, Kentucky. At the time of her disappearance, Crystal was living with her children and her boyfriend, local businessman Brooks Houck, who also happens to be the last person who saw her before she vanished, never to be seen again. On July 5th, Crystal’s maroon 2007 Chevy Impala was found abandoned at mile marker 14 on the Bluegrass Parkway. The keys were in the ignition, Crystal’s cell phone and purse were still in the car, and there did not appear to be any signs of a struggle, but no one who knew Crystal could understand why she would just get out of her car instead of using her phone to call for help, and the situation became more suspicious when Crystal’s family discovered that even though her boyfriend Brooks had not heard from her over night, he had not called to report Crystal missing, and he didn’t seem concerned about her whereabouts at all. What would follow was an investigation that uncovered some shady activities hiding beneath the idyllic small town appeal of Bardstown, Kentucky, and two more deaths that had many people wondering if it was all connected back to Crystal Rogers.

In the darkest corners of the human psyche, evil can take root. It can lurk, hidden, waiting until it compels you to commit unspeakable acts. 'The Devil Made Me Do It' is a sinister tale of possession, exorcism, and a chilling courtroom battle. Join us as we delve into the abyss of the supernatural, where demons walk among us, and innocence is just a facade. Prepare yourself for a journey into the heart of darkness, if you dare...

In 1981, 19-year-old Arne Cheyenne Johnson pleaded not guilty to the gruesome murder of his landlord and friend, 40 year old Alan Bono. Initially, the Brookfield Connecticut Police claimed the motive for this murder appeared to be connected to a jealous love triangle, but within days, a bizarre story began to emerge, told mostly by Ed and Lorraine Warren, self-professed demonologists. The Warren’s professed their belief that Arne had been possessed by an evil entity when he had stabbed Bono more than 20 times.

On Saturday, September 30th, 2023, 9-year-old Charlotte Sena was camping with her family at Moreau Lake State Park near Albany NY when she went for a bike ride with some close friends around dinnertime. She was riding her bike in one of the loops in the state park, and she had done a few loops with her friends and wanted to do one more before heading back to the campsite, so her friends went on without her, reporting they last saw her at 6:15 PM. When she was not back within ten minutes, her family went looking for her, and she was reported missing at 6:45pm. 46-year-old Craig Ross Jr. was taken into custody after Charlotte was found in a cabinet inside a trailer behind his mothers home near the intersection of Middle Line Rd and Barrett St in Milton, NY. Just a few days ago it was reported that Craig Ross Jr. is being looked at in connection to two cold case murders nearby.
