Netflix documentary Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart gave us a definitive look at one of America’s most harrowing cases—this time, told entirely in Elizabeth’s own voice. But even a feature-length doc can’t cover everything.

In this episode of This Feels Criminal, we’re breaking down the documentary and layering in the raw, deeply personal details Elizabeth shared during her recent milestone interview on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard.

In this episode, we discuss:

The "Parenting" Perspective: How Elizabeth navigates teaching her own children about safety and body autonomy without passing on her trauma.

Outsmarting the Captors: The specific psychological tactics Elizabeth used to manipulate her captors toward her own rescue—details that go deeper than the documentary’s timeline.

The Faith Factor: A look at her evolved relationship with her upbringing and how she processed the "twisted prophecy" used against her.

Healing vs. Heroism: Why Elizabeth rejects the "victim" label and how she really feels about being the face of child safety advocacy today.

Whether you’ve watched the doc or are hearing these updates for the first time, join us as we explore the resilience of a woman who didn't just survive—she outplayed her circumstances.

In Part 1, we looked at the TikToks that turned a community against a grieving teenager. But is there a darker side to this story? Today, we’re digging into the 'mountains of evidence' the state claims to have—and the shocking details about the Brock family’s past that the investigators might have overlooked.

Was Sarah Grace Patrick a master manipulator, or is she the victim of a rush to judgment? The second half of this investigation starts now.

On February 20, 2025 16-year old Sarah Grace Patrick called 911 to report her mother Kristen Brock and stepfather James Brock had been shot to death. They had been found by her half sister who was 5 years old at the time. Understandably, the small community of Carrollton was shocked and terrified that someone could murder two people in their beds as they slept. Thankfully, Sarah Grace and her young sister were safe and unharmed. As time went on, Sarah Grace did what many teenagers do to express themselves- she got on TikTok. She would post videos and slideshows grieving her loss as well as asking for help in solving the murder that seemed to have no leads. Then, in July of 2025 she was arrested and charged as an adult with double homicide. The police believed that she had murdered her parents and left their bodies for her young sister to find and then proceeded to pretend she was grieving publicly for attention. Today, we are going to dive into this case and discuss the road so far- Sarah’s upbringing and family life, the investigation into the murders and what evidence the state may have in their case against Sarah Grace Patrick.

Cari Farver vanished without a trace in 2012, but what followed was a years-long digital nightmare that left friends, family, and investigators questioning everything they thought they knew. After her disappearance, texts and messages began pouring in from Cari’s accounts, angry, erratic, and sometimes cruel, painting a picture of a woman on the run. But as the harassment escalated, a darker truth slowly emerged: someone else was pulling the strings. In this episode, we walk through the tangled web of obsession, identity theft, and deception at the heart of the case. We’ll explore the relationships that set everything into motion and the relentless investigation that finally uncovered what really happened to Cari. Ultimately, this is a story about control, digital footprints, and how far one person was willing to go to erase another.

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!
