Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast filled with nightmares that haunt the daylight. From murders, to crimes, to cryptids, to anything in between, you can learn about what might be going bump in the night.
In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee as we discuss the weird circumstances that got centered around the Ellen Greenburg case from 2011. Ellen was found stabbed to death with multiple wounds to her head, chest, back, and neck. Her fiance she lived with was at the gym during the time, and the apartment was found to be locked from the inside, which raised lots of questions and no answer. It ended up being ruled a suicide, but nothing about this case seems to point at that.

In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to talk about the horrific murder of Sarah Stern. Sarah was murdered by someone she considered a close friend for $50,000. When Liam McAtasney found out he was getting a much smaller amount than this, he was quick to spill the beans about the entire event, but later pleaded innocence while saying the entire thing was actually a horror movie plot. Still to this day Sarah’s body has not been recovered, and Liam’s parents deem him innocent.

Welcome to Cryptic Soup. Join Thena and Kylee as they the story of Lauren Spierer. Lauren was a college student in Indianapolis at IU when she went out for a night of drinking and fun with friends. The details of the night leave more questions than answers and now the biggest question, what happened to Lauren? At first Lauren was considered a missing case, but nowadays there have been theories of death, murder, accidental overdose, drugging, abduction, trafficking, or was she even a victim of the serial killer Israel Keyes? This case has been cold with lots of tips, suggestions, and theories, but no real answers after over a decade of searching.
If you know anything about Lauren's case, please call the Bloomington Police Department at 812-339-4477 or email [email protected]
Let's solve this for the Spierer family and give them the peace they rightfully have deserved all these years.
