A couple goes fishing in Eastpoint, Florida—only to find a body dumped near a cul-de-sac.

This 2018 case starts in the woods and leads to a blood-soaked motel room, a missing shower curtain, and a twisted love triangle turned deadly.

Who was Aileen Seiden—and why didn’t she make it out of Room 15?

Three days at Disneyland. A mother. Her son.

Then… a quiet 911 call from a motel hallway:
“I killed my son.”

When police arrived, they found 11-year-old Yatin Ramaraju dead.
His body surrounded by souvenirs. His mother standing outside—calm, covered in blood.

What happened after the rides stopped?
And why did she wait to call?

This wasn’t a random act. It was something else.
Something planned.

Today I tell you a case of a family vacation that ended in something murder. The case of Saritha Ramaraju.

“Dad stabbed Mom.”

That’s what a 10-year-old whispered into the phone from a locked bedroom in Gresham, Oregon. Her mother was bleeding out. Her father, Manuel Jesus Huchin-Interian, had vanished.

For years, he was nowhere to be found.

But in 2024, the trail lit up again.

Was justice actually served?

She was always on time. Always predictable. So when Janet Acosta didn’t return from her lunch break, her coworkers knew something was wrong.

What they didn’t know was that Janet’s van was already gone—headed south with her bound and bleeding inside.

This is the case of Janet Acosta. A woman who lived for adventure. And the 23-year-old Michael Tanzi who stole everything from her.

She was just six years old when she disappeared without a trace from her home in Saldanha Bay, South Africa.

What followed? Blood-stained clothes. A mother’s shifting story. And a courtroom packed with 30 witnesses.


And still… no trace of Joshlin Smith.

Today, we’re telling you the case of Racquel Kelly Smith—a case that ended in court justice… but no answers about where Joshlin is.

Michael Shaver vanished in 2015 without a trace. No calls. No texts. No goodbye. His wife said he’d left her and didn’t want to be found.

But then… a concrete firepit.

A single bullet.

And years of digital manipulation.

How does a devoted Disney World monorail technician go from missing to murdered—buried in his own backyard while his wife starts a new life steps away from his grave?

In today’s episode, we dig into the years-long deception, the twisted cover-up, and the stunning trial that finally revealed what really happened to Michael Paul Shaver.

A 74-year-old father called 911 with his last words:

“Christina with a knife… my wife’s been attacked too… I’m fading fast.”

On September 16, 2022, in Leeward Air Ranch, Florida, Richard Langer and his wife Sally were brutally stabbed inside their own home.

Inside the house, it’s a bloodbath.

One parent clings to life. The other won’t survive.

And the person responsible? Someone they raised, Christina Anne Adams.

This is the story of a family shattered from the inside out.

A father claimed it was just a tragic accident—said he threw a knife instead of a spatula during a “play fight” with his daughter.

But 14-year-old Scarlett Vickers was dead from a stab wound straight to the heart.

Her father, Simon Vickers, was sentenced to life in prison with a 15-year minimum. Now the Court of Appeal has ruled on whether that sentence was too lenient.

This is your bonus update on the case of Simon and Scarlett Vickers.

(Side note: I listened to the initial case and heard that I accidentally once called Scarlett - Simone. Apologies for that.)

A 911 call from a Denver townhome led police to a devastating scene—Seorin Kim, a forensic accountant with the FBI, was bleeding on the floor. Her newborn daughter, Lesley, was found unresponsive nearby.

Her husband, Nicholas Myklebust, said it was a tragic accident. But nothing about that morning made sense.
