DARKLIVITY True Crime

Tracy Lynn Wilemon was a 44-year-old mother who had done the hardest thing a person can do; she’d rebuilt her entire life from the ground up. After leaving a difficult past behind in California, Tracy had started over in a small Alabama town: a steady job caring for seniors, a quiet home of her own, and a dream she was saving every dollar toward, a visit with her daughter. By every measure, Tracy was finally thriving. She was safe. She was happy. She was exactly where she’d fought so hard to be.

And then, one October night in 2010, that hard-won peace was shattered in a way no one saw coming. Tracy was attacked in her own home, the one place she should have been safest, and the truth of what happened and who was responsible, would send a shockwave of disbelief and grief through everyone who loved her. This was not a stranger in the night. The betrayal cut far deeper than that.

Who could do this to a woman who had already survived so much, and why? In this episode of Darklivity we remember the brave, hardworking woman Tracy Wilemon was, the new life she’d built with her own two hands, and the devastating betrayal that stole it all away.

The day before Halloween in 2004, beloved University of Richmond professor Fred Jablin stepped out of his Virginia home in his pajamas to grab the morning newspaper. Moments later, his neighbors heard three gunshots. By sunrise, Fred was dead in his own driveway, his three children were asleep upstairs, and investigators were left with a mystery that would stretch from a quiet Henrico County street all the way to Houston, Texas.A respected Jepson School of Leadership Studies professor, a devoted single dad, and a man who loved Halloween more than anyone on his block. We dig into his life, his marriage, a mysterious plane ticket, a costume, and the paper trail that changed everything.Was it a stranger, a grudge, or someone much closer to home?

Part TWO of TWO: watch Part ONE - HERE

Part 2 of our Manchester, New Hampshire deep dive. Last week, two teenagers vanished off routine nights, one after a bus ride, one after a babysitting call, and were later found in the snow. Tonight we continue the date-true timeline: the winter atmosphere around Lake Massabesic, the community searches, and what came next...a farm fire that shook the town, a daylight shooting at a local shop, and an investigation built from small details that mattered (vehicle sightings, .270 ballistics, timelines, and alibis that don’t sit right).

We’re keeping this victim-first and chronological while we follow the evidence and the people who refused to let this case fade. AND then another murder... then two more... are they connected?

PART ONE of TWO - Manchester, New Hampshire. Deep winter. Two teenage girls do totally normal things - ride the bus, take a quick babysitting job, promise “I’ll be home by ten,” and then the city changes forever. In this episode, we step into 1960–1964

Manchester: Lake Massabesic shortcuts, porch lights left on, snowbanks, and a community searching in the cold. We’ll walk the timeline in order: Sandra Valade’s last known movements, the Water Works discovery, and a second disappearance that locks the pattern without rushing.

We focus on who the first victims were, the exact routes, the phone calls, and the details that still matter.

This is Part 2 of 2 - Today, we're diving into a very mysterious and heartbreaking case of a mother of 4 who seemingly vanished right from her street, just about 1/2 mile from her home. In part one, we explore the clues left behind: her car, her outfit from the night before, her cell phones, and the relationships that could link her to something dangerous. What really happened to Karen Swift?

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?
