Before DNA testing and CSI labs, there was Edward Oscar Heinrich, the man known as the “American Sherlock.” In the early 20th century, Heinrich revolutionized criminal forensics with his pioneering use of fingerprint analysis, bloodstain patterns, handwriting examination, and even forensic botany—solving hundreds of baffling cases across the United States.

From murder investigations and poisonings to high-profile heists and cold cases, Heinrich’s work laid the foundation for modern crime scene investigation. But behind his brilliance was also controversy, flaws in methodology, and cases that raised unsettling questions.

Was he a genius ahead of his time—or a man whose belief in science sometimes went too far? Tonight, we uncover the legacy of the American Sherlock, and the impact he left on both true crime history and modern forensic science.

In the early hours of April 17, 1966, law enforcement officers in Portage County, Ohio became the central figures in one of the most dramatic and credible UFO sightings in American history. What began as a routine patrol quickly turned into a multi-county high-speed chase after deputies spotted a glowing, metallic object rising from a field and silently ascending into the sky.

In 1978, the quiet Polish village of Emilcin became the unlikely setting for one of the most famous UFO encounters in European history. Local farmer Jan Wolski claimed he was abducted in broad daylight by small, green-skinned humanoids and taken aboard a mysterious craft hovering in the woods. His detailed account, supported by physical evidence and witness testimony, sparked national attention and remains one of Poland’s most credible and controversial alien abduction cases.

Was Jan Wolski truly taken by extraterrestrial beings? Or was his story part of a larger mystery surrounding UFO sightings, government silence, and high strangeness in Eastern Europe?

My special guest tonight is author and folklorist Christopher Balzano, here to discuss one of the strangest and most haunted places in Florida—the Ocala National Forest. Just an hour outside of Orlando’s theme parks lies a region steeped in paranormal activity, supernatural sightings, and terrifying urban legends. In his book Haunted Ocala National Forest, Balzano uncovers chilling reports of disappearing cemeteries, mysterious creatures, ghost lights, and bodies found under unexplained circumstances.

Locals speak of the vengeful Coyote Woman, a shapeshifting spirit who punishes the wicked... a spectral soldier from Fort King who vanishes mid-conversation... and the monk of Astor, still searching for his killer. From cults and cryptids to ghosts and cursed land, the Ocala National Forest remains a hotspot of strange phenomena, where those who enter sometimes never return.

In 1929, deep in the remote hills of the Arkansas Ozarks, the gruesome murder of harmonica-playing drifter Connie Franklin and the brutal rape of his teenage fiancée shocked a nation already teetering on the brink of the Great Depression. Newspapers from coast to coast sensationalized the case, painting vivid portraits of night-riding moonshiners, ruthless “Barons of the Hills,” and a feudal way of life hidden in the isolation of the rugged Ozarks. When five local men were arrested for the crimes, the trial became a tangled web of confusion, superstition, and small-town intrigue, giving Stone County a brief but notorious place in American true crime history.

My special guest tonight is true crime author Margery Metzger, here to discuss her chilling book Hidden Demons: Evil Visits a Small New England Town. This harrowing true story exposes the twisted crimes of a ruthless serial predator whose targets included innocent children.

On January 7, 1994, the picturesque Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts awoke to what seemed like just another snowy winter morning—but the region was about to be shaken to its core. That day, a college student stood trial for a deadly assault rifle rampage on campus, killing two and wounding four. Elsewhere, two young girls were assaulted in a local pool changing room, another narrowly escaped abduction at gunpoint on her way to school, and the disappearance of a young boy—whose remains were found years earlier in remote woods—loomed over the community.

Margery Metzger takes us deep inside a case that baffled investigators, terrified families, and left an indelible mark on a small New England town—revealing how one man’s evil cast a shadow for years to come.
