Tina Heins was 15 weeks pregnant when she was slaughtered in her home, while her husband was on duty. Tina’s brother-in-law, Chad Heins, was home during the murder and was awakened when the fire alarm blared - leading him to discover various small fires in the home. He rushed to get Tina, only to discover she had been murdered. Without much evidence, Chad was charged, convicted and sentenced to life in prison for Tina’s murder (in addition to sexual assault). In 2007, Chad was officially exonerated.

But Tina’s murder remained unsolved, until an arrest was made in September 2025! 

It was an arrest that shocked everyone. That man is now pending trial in the state of Florida. His name is Michael Ziegler. 

Dig in with Margot as she tells you this cold case (almost) solved. Remember - all persons are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. .

Tara Grinstead disappeared from her house in October 2005. The investigation led authorities to various suspects over the years, but sadly, Tara’s case went ice cold. Then in 2016, a budding filmmaker (Payne Lindsey) decided to investigate the case in season 1 of his true crime podcast, Up and Vanished. The podcast was a hit and by early 2017, GBI released a statement, they had made an arrest in Tara Grinstead’s case. 10 days later, another arrest.

The alleged perpetrators? Ryan Duke and Bo Dukes - no relationship to each other, despite the similar last names.

After the two men confessed to their part in Tara’s disappearance, the case seemed pretty cut and dry, until one of the men took the stand in his own defense and flipped the script.

Dig in with Margot as she tells you this most bizarre case that although solved, will leave you asking, Who Killed Tara Grinstead?

In early December 2022, dismembered body parts were found scattered over a 3 mile radius in Georgia. The Jane Doe remained anonymous for 6 months, but due to genetic geneology, her identity was discovered. The victim was 40-year old Mindi Kassotis. Her parents were shocked to learn that she had not only been murdered, but dismembered, because they had been told Mindi died at a hospital from a stroke.

Authorities then arrested Mindi’s husband, Nicholas Kassotis, a veteran and former navy judge advocate. 

This episode contains coverage from Day 1 of his trial.
