This main line mystery started in 1979 when the nude body of an Upper Merion high school teacher was found in the trunk of her car. After the horrific discovery, investigators began piecing together the evidence and found that behind each lie was someone with something to gain. They uncovered a disturbing trail of deception within the walls of the workplace- affairs, greed, twisted sexual secrets, and phony alibis. But decades later, the most haunting part of this story is still unsolved: two missing children who vanished without a trace.

This episode dives into the strange and unsettling raid on the home of Afroman — a

search warrant based on serious accusations that left more questions than answers.

But what happened after the deputies left may be even more disturbing than the raid

itself. Security footage, missing money, and a lawsuit would slowly expose a situation

that felt less like justice… and more like something gone very wrong behind the scenes.

For most of his life, he was labeled a throw away, mocked, bullied, criticized, and misunderstood.

But beneath the grunge appearance, the suffering, and the addictions, there existed an artist with a brilliant mind, a truly genuine being who never compromised his artistic integrity. Deep down - a really good human. A man whose tragic death seemed like a classic open and shut case. Yet-the story has inconsistencies that are too loud to ignore the doubts refuse to die=and now are louder than ever before. 

This episode of Koltergeist is dedicated to my fellow Generation Xers-and to the man whose music gave our generation a voice-this is the story of the life and tragic death of Kurt Cobain.

In May 2006, 32-year-old Rey Rivera vanished after receiving a mysterious phone call at his

Baltimore home. Eight days later, his body was discovered inside an unused conference room at

the historic Belvedere Hotel, beneath a hole in the roof. His glasses and phone were found

nearby, strangely undamaged.

Authorities initially theorized he jumped from the hotel’s rooftop, but questions about the

distance, lack of witnesses, and unexplained circumstances led the medical examiner to rule the

cause of death as “undetermined.” Rey’s family believes foul play may have been involved. His

case, featured in Netflix’s Unsolved Mysteries (“Mystery on the Rooftop”), remains unsolved.

But on February 14, 2013, Reeva Steenkamp wasn’t struck by Cupid’s arrow - she was struck by gunfire. Four hollow-point bullets tore into her body through a locked bathroom door.

In Run, Hide, Repeat, a family’s quiet life is slowly consumed by an invisible threat—break-ins that don’t make sense, warnings that arrive too late, and a growing belief that someone powerful is watching their every move. As fear tightens its grip, the family is forced into constant flight, changing homes, identities, and routines in a desperate attempt to stay ahead of danger. But as the story unfolds, unsettling cracks begin to appear in the narrative itself, raising an even more disturbing question: what if the danger wasn’t lurking outside the walls at all, but living inside the story they came to believe?
