Before she disappeared, Cynthia Anderson was terrified.

The 20-year-old legal secretary had been receiving disturbing anonymous phone calls. Creepy love letters. Even wall-sized murals left behind by someone obsessed with her.

She told people she was scared.
She started having recurring nightmares about being abducted.

Then, on the morning of August 4, 1981, Cynthia showed up for work.

Hours later, she was gone.

No signs of a struggle.
No confirmed suspects.
No trace of where she went.

Did someone finally act on their obsession?
Did Cynthia run from something only she understood?
Or is the truth darker than anyone realized?

This is the chilling case of a young woman who seemed to sense her own fate — and the mystery that still hasn’t been solved.

Alyssa Bustamante was 15 years old.

She struggled with depression. Self-harm. Suicide attempts. A troubled home life.

But in October 2009, instead of taking her own life, she took someone else’s.

Her 9-year-old neighbor, Elizabeth Olten.

Investigators later discovered something chilling: Alyssa had written in her diary about wanting to know what it felt like to kill someone. After the murder, she journaled about the experience — describing it as “amazing” and “pretty enjoyable.”

Then she went to church.

In this episode, we break down what led to that night, the disturbing diary entries, the backyard grave, and the psychological questions that still surround this case.

Was this untreated mental illness?
A cry for help that went unnoticed?
Or something far more calculated?

Because sometimes the most terrifying crimes don’t come from strangers.

They come from next door.

In 1979, a beloved high school English teacher named Susan was found dead — stuffed inside the trunk of her own car.

But this wasn’t random.

Susan was in love. She believed she was engaged to a fellow teacher at her school. She told friends he was “the one.”

There was just one problem.

He had three other girlfriends.

And Susan had quietly made him the sole beneficiary of four separate life insurance policies — worth more than $700,000.

When investigators uncovered the policies, the romance turned into motive.
Was this a jealous lover? A calculated plan? Or something even darker hiding behind the school hallways?

In this episode, we break down the affair, the lies, the money trail, and the shocking discovery that led police straight to one question:

Was this love… or premeditated murder?

On November 7, 1969, a well-liked Baltimore nun disappears into thin air. There are a LOT of shocking crimes out there but, who would want to hurt a NUN?

After going out to run some errands, Cathy was faced by a terrifying scenario… her own termination.

An attempted robbery.
A wealthy family’s home.
Four construction workers dead.

And a young woman from a small town sentenced to 165 years in prison.

Charity Payne says she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Prosecutors painted a very different picture — one of planning, participation, and responsibility. The jury had to decide whether she was a criminal, a victim, a bystander… or something in between.

In this episode, we break down what happened the night of the attempted robbery at the Sears family home, the evidence presented in court, the arguments that divided a community, and why this case still sparks debate.

Because this story isn’t simple.

It has layers.

And by the end, you’ll have to decide for yourself:
Was Charity Payne a scapegoat — or exactly where she belonged?

Westfield was supposed to be safe. Quiet. Perfect.

A secret buried in the walls?
Or a threat that was closer than anyone wanted to admit?
