The small town of Hartford, Wisconsin was shaken to its core when 19-year-old college freshman and rising theater star Jesse Blodgett was found murdered in her own home. What first appeared to be an unthinkable tragedy quickly unraveled into something even more disturbing—an obsession that turned deadly.

As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a chilling connection between Jesse and her killer, Daniel Bartelt, a former classmate whose fixation had been quietly growing in the shadows. Through digital clues, surveillance, and disturbing evidence, law enforcement pieced together a crime fueled by fantasy, rejection, and control.

In this episode, we break down the timeline of that night, the investigation that led to a swift arrest, and the haunting details that left a community searching for answers. Who was Jesse Blodgett beyond the headlines? And how did someone so close to her world become her killer?

This is a story of talent, promise, and a life stolen far too soon—and a stark reminder of how dangerous obsession can become when it goes unchecked.

More than two decades after the murder of Sherri Rasmussen, advances in DNA technology would finally force the case back into the spotlight—and point investigators toward someone they had long refused to seriously consider.

In Part 2, we break down the shocking twist that reignited the investigation, the role of the Los Angeles Police Department in the decades-long delay, and the undercover recording that ultimately exposed the truth.

A conversation between former Los Angeles Police Department officer Stephanie Lazarus and investigators would unravel a secret that had been hidden for over 20 years.

The evidence hadn’t forgotten. And eventually, neither would justice.

Week three of the trial of Kouri Richins brought major developments as prosecutors wrapped up their case in the death of her husband, Eric Richins. Jurors heard key testimony from lead investigator Jeff O’Driscoll, who walked through the investigation, prescription records, and evidence detectives say helped them piece together the events leading up to Eric’s death.

Cross-examination focused heavily on investigative methods and the controversial “walk the dog” letter, with the defense pressing detectives on how evidence was interpreted.

But the biggest moment of the week came after the state rested its case. In a surprising move, the defense for Kouri Richins also rested—without calling a single witness—setting the stage for closing arguments and leaving the jury to decide the case based solely on the prosecution’s evidence and the defense’s cross-examinations.

In 1986, 29-year-old nurse Sherri Rasmussen was found dead in the living room of the condo she shared with her husband in Van Nuys. The crime scene looked like a burglary gone terribly wrong—drawers pulled open, valuables scattered, and a brutal struggle that ended in Sherri’s death.

But from the very beginning, something didn’t add up.

Despite troubling details and early suspicions from Sherri’s family, detectives with the Los Angeles Police Department quickly focused on the burglary theory and the case went cold. For years, the truth about what happened inside that condo remained buried beneath a flawed investigation, overlooked evidence, and one very powerful connection.

In Part 1, we walk through the day Sherri was murdered, the initial police investigation, and the red flags that were ignored from the start. Because sometimes the biggest clues are the ones investigators refuse to see.

Week two of the Kouri Richins murder trial brought some of the most tense moments in the courtroom so far.

Jurors heard testimony about life insurance policies, financial decisions, and the state of the Richins marriage before the death of Eric Richins.

But the week didn’t pass quietly — a heated exchange between attorneys led to accusations of prosecutors making faces at the jury and a brief push for a mistrial, while both sides fought over whether jail phone calls should be played in court.

As the case against Kouri Richins continues to unfold, week two made one thing clear: the courtroom battle is only getting more intense.

Week one of Kouri Richins Murder Trial is officially over— and it did not disappoint. Kouri is charged with the murder of her husband, Eric Richins, the case has already delivered stunning courtroom moments, unexpected strategies, and testimony that could shape the entire outcome.

In this episode, we break down everything that happened during the first week inside the courtroom. From the prosecution’s opening statement — where they laid out their theory of what happened the night Eric died — to the defense’s bold and, at times, surprising approach to witnesses, we walk through it all.

Who took the stand?
What were the key takeaways from each witness?
And which moments felt like true turning points?

We unpack the alleged financial motives, the digital evidence, the timeline presented to jurors, and the so-called “bombshells” introduced in opening statements that immediately set the tone for this trial.

But perhaps most intriguing is the defense’s strategy so far — the questions they’re choosing to ask, the tone they’re setting, and what it may signal about the road ahead.

Week one is only the beginning, so Buckle up Buttercups and

follow along as we continue covering every development in this case.

In Part One, we uncovered how the murders of Sheri Coleman and her sons, Garett and Gavin Coleman, were initially blamed on a mysterious stalker. But in Part Two, the narrative completely collapses.

As investigators closed in on Chris Coleman, the digital evidence became impossible to ignore. Emails. Timelines. Surveillance footage. The very threats meant to prove his innocence instead exposed a calculated attempt to control the story.

In court, prosecutors laid out a devastating case: the staged break-in, the manufactured hate messages, the affair that added motive, and the financial pressure building behind closed doors. What the public once saw as a grieving husband was now being examined under oath.

This wasn’t just about what happened inside that Columbia, Illinois home in May 2009. It was about premeditation. About image. About a man who believed he could outsmart investigators.

 The 2009 murders of Sheri Coleman and her sons, Garett and Gavin Coleman, in Columbia, Illinois, shocked the nation. Known as the Chris Coleman case, what was first reported as a stalker killing would later be exposed as a carefully orchestrated deception.

At first, the story was terrifying. Threatening messages appeared. A family claimed they were being targeted. A husband insisted someone was hunting them. But as investigators dug deeper, the evidence began to tell a different story.

What unfolded was not a random act of violence — it was a staged narrative built to mislead law enforcement and the public. The digital trail, the timeline inconsistencies, and the unraveling lies would ultimately point back to the very person who claimed to fear for his family’s safety.

This isn’t a story about a faceless stalker

It’s a story about control, manipulation, and three lives that deserved protection — not betrayal.

Sheri was a mother. Garett and Gavin were young boys with their entire futures ahead of them. Their names deserve to be remembered.
