November 7th, 2025, 18-year-old Anna Marie Kepner was found dead under a bed aboard the Carnival Horizon naked and covered in life jackets.

But while investigators tried to figure out what happened in that cabin, the deeper question was already forming: How did every adult in her world fail her long before that cruise left Miami?

Because while Anna was trying to grow up, the adults around her lived by their own motto:
Conflict Rules Everything Around Me — C.R.E.A.M., get the tension. Toxic bad blood, ya’ll. 

And once you understand the years of instability swirling around Anna: the custody fights, the restraining orders, the rotating step-parents, the teenage babysitter who became her stepmom, the new stepbrother later named as a suspect... you start to see how the stage was set for a tragedy that should never have happened.

It’s Christmas week, y’all! And we know nobody has the emotional bandwidth for a heavy true crime case while you’re wrapping presents, hiding from relatives, or trying to keep your kids from shaking every gift under the tree.

So today, we’re bringing you true crime… animal edition.

In this special holiday episode, Tyrella tells Nikita four real (yes, real!) cases where animals were the unexpected offenders or witnesses:

• The drunk raccoon who broke into a liquor store
• The REAL Cocaine Bear
• The parrot who repeated what may have been a murder confession — and why animal “testimony” can’t be used in court
• The prison cats caught smuggling drugs and phones past guards

We will be back next week with our normal true crime stories! Merry Christmas, ya'll!

After a devastating house fire killed Mollie and Bubba McClaren, the family and investigators were shocked to find that their 9-year-old granddaughter, Chloie, and their 7-year-old grandson, Gage, were missing.  They weren’t found in the rubble of the house, and could not be located anywhere near the home.  Thirteen years later, there is still no sign of the missing children, but their mother, Cherlyl, holds onto the hope that she will someday be reunited with her children.

In February of 2021, police officers performed a welfare check on 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore in Canton, Massachusetts. When they gained entry to her apartment, they found the young teacher’s aide dead in her bedroom from what they determined (after 4 hours) was a suicide. It would take more than two years and multiple law enforcement agencies investigating before someone was charged with Sandra’s MURDER. The investigation revealed a horrifying story of grooming and abuse, all stemming from local police officers, and leading to the murder of Sandra and her unborn baby.

In 1991, 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted on her way to the school bus in South Lake Tahoe, California. What followed was one of the most shocking and heartbreaking cases in modern true crime—eighteen years of captivity in a hidden backyard compound, two daughters born in secret, and repeated missed opportunities by law enforcement and parole officials who visited the home over fifty times.

In this episode, we break down Jaycee’s story as told in A Stolen Life and the A&E documentary The Abduction of Jaycee Dugard, exploring how she survived, how she stayed hidden in plain sight for nearly two decades, and how a chance encounter at UC Berkeley finally revealed the truth.

Requested by: Marissa Seymour, Carly Bodick, Alyssa Crabtree, Briana Huizar, Rachel, Salome Pasch, and Amber Rose.
