We didn't want to leave you hanging this week with absolutely no episode at all. Here is our re-recorded Brittanee Drexel episode. We will be back with a brand new story next Friday!
In 2009 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel went missing from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina while on a spring break trip with her friends. It was thought for years that she may have been a victim of human trafficking. In May 2022, we finally got the answers about what happened to Brittanee all those years ago.

In 1983 the city of Tampa Florida saw a rise in homicides and bodies that were showing up in conspicuous areas around town. Police stated early on that they did not believe these murders to be connected nor did they suspect a serial killer was on the loose. So when Barbara Grams’s body was discovered in August that year, they treated it as unrelated. They zoned in on 18-year-old Robert Duboise and pretty quickly arrested and convicted him of Barbara’s murder. Robert spent 37 years fighting to prove his innocence and pushing to test the crime scene DNA. that DNA evidence would change the story of what really happened forever and bring two serial killers with no regard for human life to light.

June 6, 1980, a frantic Steve Strom calls the police after returning home from work to find his wife Karin Strom had been murdered in their home. Pretty quickly suspicion falls on the husband. With evidence piling up, it seemed the case would be closed fairly quickly. Unfortunately, it would take more than 26 years before the courts could hand down a verdict and reveal the truth of that night.

Peter Sean Kosky went missing from a remote area in McMinnville Oregon after a movie night at his cousins house in September 2012, it's been almost 11 years and there is still so much unknown about what happened that night after everyone else went to bed. Less than a year later in July of 2013, Zachary Porter left his home in McMinnville Oregon to sell his motorcycle to an individual on Craigslist. Unfortunately, he would never return home and 10 years later we are still searching for answers.

The murders of Morgan Harrington and Hannah Graham shook the community to its core, leaving a trail of fear and sorrow in their wake. Both young women were vibrant souls, full of dreams and aspirations, whose lives were tragically cut short by the hands of evil. The heinous acts committed against them serve as a stark reminder that no one is immune to the darkness that lurks within society. Their stories must not be forgotten; they should serve as a call for justice and a plea for a safer world where such atrocities cease to exist.
