Hey, friends! Just popping in with a little check-in—because I was hoping to have a bonus episode for you this week, but life had other plans. It’s been a wild one, and despite my best efforts, I just couldn’t squeeze it in. I hate missing an episode, and I truly appreciate you all for being so understanding.

But! In lieu of a new bonus episode, I am sharing a fun one I recorded with Branden over on our YouTube channel (will drop tonight at midnight!). If you haven’t watched our bonus episodes together yet, this is the perfect time to dive in. Just click the link below to check it out—along with all the other fun bonus episodes we’ve done together!

And for those who are interested—Mark and I will be recording a brand-new bonus episode this weekend in Flagstaff, so there’s more goodness coming your way very soon. Plus, our regularly scheduled crime episode will be out on Tuesday, as always.

Thank you all for being the absolute best. Your support means everything to me, and I appreciate you more than I can say. Love you, mean it—XOXO! 💛

In July of 2011, 32-year-old Rebecca Zahau was found dead at the historic Spreckels Mansion in Coronado, California—a massive, oceanfront estate owned by her boyfriend, pharmaceutical tycoon Jonah Shacknai. Rebecca’s body was discovered hanging from a balcony, bound at the wrists and ankles, a cryptic message scrawled on the bedroom door. Authorities ruled it a suicide… but did she really do this to herself? Or was something far more sinister at play?

From eerie last text messages to an investigation that left more questions than answers, this case is as twisty as they come. Suicide? Murder? Cover-up? We’re breaking it all down.

PLUS: A very special thank you to all the recent Apple reviews that called out my disgusting mouth noises and off-topic tangents—in this episode, I worked really hard to avoid saying “um,” to avoid making annoying mouth noises, and to avoid having off-topic rambles. But if you still catch any of this, PLEASE let me know! I will keep trying to improve and thank you for joining me on this journey of self-improvement and…murder💀🌵🩷

A quiet Texas town, a locked house, and a chilling crime that made no sense. When 14-year-old Tristan Dilley was found shot to death in her own home in 2017, the mystery seemed impossible—no sign of forced entry, no obvious suspects, and a timeline that left investigators baffled. But as they dug deeper, hidden truths began to surface, leading to a revelation that no one saw coming.

Who had access to Tristan that night? And what could possibly drive someone to commit such a brutal act?

Join me as we unravel the details of a case that shook a family, a town, and left lingering questions that demand answers.

In this special mini-crime story, we take a brief detour from the Southwest and head straight into the heart of the Midwest—Michigan, to be exact. But before we dive into this chilling case, I spend the first six minutes talking about my dad (because I need advice!!). 

Then, we shift gears and unravel the story of Tara Grant—a woman who seemingly had it all until her life took a dark and unexpected turn. What started as a picture-perfect marriage quickly spiraled into a tangled web of control, deceit, and ultimately, a gruesome crime that left an entire community stunned. 

What really happened to Tara, and who was responsible? Tune in for all the twists and turns in this episode of Death by Southwest Midwest.

A dark, empty church. A masked figure dressed in police SWAT gear, casually strolling through the halls, smashing windows. And a woman—completely unaware—that she’s walking straight into her own murder. This is the story of Missy Bevers… a case filled with eerie surveillance footage, cryptic clues, and a suspect that, to this day, has never been found.
