A family of three. A locked house. And a crime scene that doesn’t make a damn bit of sense.

In 1966, the Bricca family was slaughtered inside their Cincinnati home—and somehow, no one saw anything. No one heard anything. And no one was ever convicted.

So what really happened inside that house?

Tonight, we pull apart one of Ohio’s most disturbing cold cases—where every theory feels wrong… but something about them all feels a little too real.

Because whoever did this? They didn’t just disappear.

Four young employees. A quiet closing shift. And a crime scene that didn’t make sense.

In November 1978, something went horribly wrong inside a Burger Chef in Speedway, Indiana. What started as a routine night quickly unraveled into one of the most haunting and baffling unsolved cases in the country.

In 1997, 26-year-old Kimberly Jo Medlin vanished from her North Carolina community—leaving behind a trail of questions no one was prepared to answer.

Five-year-old Summer Wells vanished from her Tennessee home in broad daylight. We look past the headlines and the noise to focus on the minutes that changed everything.

​The search for the truth starts now.

A house. A barrel. A secret that should’ve never stayed hidden this long.

For decades, she was just… gone. No answers. No closure. No one asking the right questions.

Until someone opened the barrel.

In this episode, we dig into the murder of Reyna Angelica Marroquín—a case that’s as disturbing as it is infuriating. This one isn’t just about how she died… it’s about how long she was ignored.

And trust me, this story sticks with you.

On a chilly April morning in 1981, the peaceful mountain resort of Keddie, California, was shattered. When 14-year-old Sheila Sharp returned home to Cabin 28, she didn’t find her family waking up for breakfast. Instead, she walked into a living nightmare: a scene of surgical brutality, bound victims, and a floor stained with a violence the Sierra Nevada woods had never seen.

But the horror was only the beginning.

In this episode of Hooked on Homicide, we aren't just looking at the "what"—we’re dissecting the "how" and the "why." How does a triple homicide occur while three young boys sleep undisturbed in the next room? Why did a critical confession letter sit in a police file for decades? And where did 12-year-old Tina Sharp go?

We’re diving deep into the intersection of forensic failure and small-town corruption, covering:

• The Evidence: The mystery of the "missing" blue claw hammer and the forensic blunders that contaminated the scene from hour one.
• The Cover-Up: The suspicious ties between lead investigators and the primary suspects, Marty Smartt and Bo Boubede.
• The Lost Audio: The chilling 1984 anonymous tip that identified a victim years before the police—only to be "misplaced" for over three decades.

The cabin has been torn down, but the secrets are still buried in the soil of Plumas County. Join us as we sift through the wreckage of an investigation that was dead on arrival.
