Find My Killer

#52 - On October 8th, 2009, Bobby and Sherilynn Jamison left their Oklahoma home with their young daughter, Madyson, to look at a remote piece of property they were considering buying.

Several days later, their pickup truck was discovered abandoned in the mountains. Inside were the family’s wallets, cell phones, identification, and approximately $32,000 in cash. Even their dog had been left behind.

But there was no sign of the Jamisons.

Four years later, the remains of Bobby, Sherilynn, and Madyson were discovered less than three miles away. However, investigators couldn’t determine how they died—or explain the strange circumstances surrounding their disappearance.

So, what happened to the Jamison family? Was this a tragic accident, or did someone lead them into those mountains and kill them?

#51 - On the hot afternoon of August 7th, 1996, the Korzilius family was doing what so many families do during summer break—running errands, checking the mail, and enjoying what seemed like an ordinary day in their quiet Texas neighborhood.

Nothing about that afternoon suggested it would end in tragedy.

Six-year-old Katherine Korzilius asked her mom if she could walk home from the neighborhood mailbox by herself. It was a short walk—less than a quarter of a mile—and one she had made before so her mom agreed.

But Katherine never made it home.

Within minutes, an ordinary summer afternoon became every parent's worst nightmare. And what investigators would uncover over the next several hours would leave an entire community searching for answers. Was this simply a heartbreaking accident? Or had someone intentionally targeted a six-year-old little girl just steps from her own front door?

#50 - For nearly 80 years, the world has known her as the Black Dahlia. But before she became one of America's most infamous unsolved murder victims, she was a 22-year-old woman named Elizabeth Short.

In January 1947, Elizabeth's brutally mutilated body was discovered in a vacant Los Angeles lot, launching one of the largest murder investigations in American history. The shocking crime captivated the nation, inspired decades of speculation, and led to hundreds of suspects, false confessions, and countless theories—but no one has ever been convicted.

In this episode of Find My Killer, we retrace Elizabeth's final days, examine the chilling crime scene, explore the investigation that quickly spiraled into a media frenzy, and take a closer look at the most compelling suspects in a case that continues to haunt investigators nearly eight decades later.

Who killed Elizabeth Short? And after all these years, are we any closer to the truth?

#49 - On a freezing Saturday morning in February 2008, a man posing as a delivery driver walked into a Lane Bryant clothing store in Tinley Park, Illinois, and forever changed the lives of everyone inside. After forcing six women into the store's back room, he bound their hands with duct tape before opening fire. Five women were murdered. One survived by pretending to be dead.

Nearly two decades later, the killer has never been identified.

In this episode, we examine the timeline of the attack, the remarkable bravery of the lone survivor, the evidence investigators have collected, and the theories that continue to surround one of Illinois' most shocking unsolved mass murders. With thousands of tips, possible DNA evidence, surveillance images, and a haunting 911 call, the question remains:

Who walked into that Lane Bryant store on February 2, 2008—and why has no one been arrested?

#48 - On April 15, 2005, Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar told his girlfriend he was going for a drive. He never came home.

A respected prosecutor with a successful career, Ray was just months away from retirement when he seemingly vanished without a trace. Days later, his red Mini Cooper was found abandoned in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. His cellphone was inside. Ray was nowhere to be found.

Then came an even stranger discovery.

Months after his disappearance, a laptop belonging to Ray was recovered from the Susquehanna River. The hard drive had been intentionally removed. When investigators later found the hard drive itself, it was too damaged to recover any data, leaving one of the most important pieces of evidence forever out of reach.

Was Ray Gricar the victim of foul play? Did he choose to disappear and start a new life? Or did he take his own life, leaving behind a mystery that would endure for decades?

In this episode of Find My Killer, we examine the disappearance of Ray Gricar, the investigation that followed, and the theories that continue to divide investigators and armchair detectives more than twenty years later.

#47 - In the early morning hours of October 27, 2006, Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputy Jeffrey Mitchell initiated what appeared to be a routine traffic stop on a white Chevrolet van. Minutes later, fellow deputies found him mortally wounded on a rural stretch of road after a violent struggle. The driver of the van had vanished, and despite an extensive investigation, no one has ever been charged with his murder.

In this episode of Find My Killer, we examine the unsolved murder of Deputy Jeffrey Mitchell, the mysterious white van at the center of the case, the evidence investigators uncovered, and the questions that remain unanswered nearly two decades later.

Who killed Deputy Jeffrey Mitchell—and why?

In March 2011, 24-year-old Disney Cruise Line crew member Rebecca Coriam vanished from the Disney Wonder while sailing between Los Angeles and Mexico. More than a decade later, her disappearance remains one of the most baffling mysteries at sea, leaving behind questions about surveillance footage, cruise ship investigations, and what really happened that morning.

In 1988, 19-year-old Tara Calico left home for her daily bike ride and never returned. More than a year later, a mysterious Polaroid photograph discovered in a Florida parking lot sparked international attention and raised a chilling question: was Tara still alive?

In this episode, we examine the timeline of Tara's disappearance, the infamous photograph, alleged sightings, and the theories that continue to surround one of America's most haunting missing persons cases.
