Crimes We Didn’t Commit

Jake Evans thought watching horror movies would somehow prepare him for committing murder. Reality had other plans. In this episode of Crimes We Didn't Commit, we dive into one of the most disturbing family murder cases in recent memory, unpack what led to the killings, what happened afterward, and where Jake is today.

Spoiler alert: real life isn't a slasher movie, and there are no credits to roll when the damage is permanent.

This week on Crimes We Didn't Commit, we're diving into the twisted case of Herbert Coddington—a man whose ego was somehow even bigger than his rap sheet. We'll break down the crimes, the investigation that finally caught up to him, and why some investigators believe his body count may be higher than his convictions.

Turns out being a "genius" isn't all that impressive when your life's biggest accomplishment is earning a permanent prison address.

In April 2014, Dutch friends Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon set out for what should have been a simple hike along the El Pianista Trail in Panama. They never returned. What followed became one of the most haunting missing persons cases in modern true crime. Weeks later, a backpack containing their phones and camera was discovered deep in the jungle. The recovered photos, unanswered emergency calls, and scattered remains only deepened the mystery. Were they lost in the unforgiving wilderness, or was something far more sinister waiting for them in the jungle? More than a decade later, the case continues to spark debate around the world. 

Join us as we break down the timeline, the evidence, the strange photographs, and the theories surrounding the disappearance of two young women whose final days remain shrouded in mystery.

In 1993, three young boys were brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. Faced with a horrific crime and intense public pressure, investigators did what any calm and rational people would do during the height of the Satanic Panic—they looked for the nearest teenagers wearing black.
