DARKLIVITY True Crime

SORRY I accidently uploaded the WRONG video (I was so jet lagged in London that I was practically sleep walking so my apologies! this is the correct video for Christie's case.

Christie Wilson was a bright, vivacious 27-year-old with a quick smile and a love for the game of blackjack. On an October night in 2005, she did something completely ordinary: she stopped by the Thunder Valley Casino near Sacramento for a few hours at the tables. Casino regulars knew her. Security cameras watched the whole evening unfold. And at 1:13 in the morning, surveillance footage captured Christie walking out into the dark parking lot alongside a man she'd met that night. It was the last time anyone would ever see her.

Christie was simply gone- no trace, no sign, nothing. In this episode of Darklivity, we trace the full Christie Wilson case: the young woman she was, the night the cameras captured her final steps, and a mother who refused to stop searching for her daughter.

The Jesse Valencia case happened in Columbia, Missouri. Jesse James Valencia was a bright, charismatic 23-year-old University of Missouri student and former model, openly himself, deeply loved by his family, and dreaming of a future in law.

On a June morning in 2004, students walking across a quiet residential neighborhood came upon a young man lying in the grass. At first they thought he'd simply fallen asleep. He hadn't. It was Jesse — and his death would send shockwaves through the entire community.

As investigators pulled at the threads of Jesse's final weeks, they uncovered a secret he'd reportedly been ready to reveal. But the most stunning twist was still to come. What detectives uncovered would shake their own department to its core.

Who was Jesse Valencia, really? And who had the most to lose if his secret came out? How does a case like this stay hidden in plain sight… until it doesn't? In this episode of DARKLIVITY, we trace the full Jesse Valencia case: the vibrant young man he was, the relationship he kept quiet, and the investigation that exposed a betrayal no one saw coming.

Watch Part One: HERE - This is Part ONE in a Two-Part Series. The Doug Gissendaner case is one of the most heartbreaking and shocking true crime stories to come out of Georgia in the late 90's. In February 1997, Doug Gissendaner was a devoted young father in the small community of Dacula, a hardworking family man who had finally reunited with the wife he loved. One winter night, he headed home the way he always did. He never made it through the door.

It looked like a tragedy that could happen to anyone: a good man in the wrong place at the wrong time. But as investigators dug deeper- a phone record here, an inconsistency there- they began to realize that Doug's death was no random act of violence.

Who would want to harm a devoted father like Doug Gissendaner and why? What really happened the night he disappeared on his way home? In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Doug Gissendaner case: who he was, the night everything changed, and the chilling betrayal hidden beneath a seemingly ordinary crime.
