It was September 2, 2010, and Michelle O'Connell was excited for the Paramore concert that night at the St. Augustine Amphitheater in Florida. Her sister was babysitting Michelle's daughter, four year old Alexis. But Michelle knew she had even bigger plans that evening.

Michelle and Alexis had lived with Deputy Jeremy Banks for the past year. What started as a hopeful romance, turned into quite the opposite. Amidst complaints of violence to her family and friends, Jennifer was making plans to leave. And she planned to do that just after the concert that night.

However within just an hour of their travels back to the residence, Michelle would be dead.

A 911 call placed by Jeremy is a great study in emotion and voice detection.

He states that Michelle ended her own life, while he waited in his garage for her to pack her things. In fact, he states she did so with his own duty pistol. Yes, the pistol on his belt, in a retention holster, that he used for work. Coworkers of Jeremy's arrived to assess the situation.

Evidence was collected, minimally. Interviews were conducted, light heartedly. The sheriff was offended - greatly.

This case required special prosecution appointments, governor involvement, and administrative leave. But not where you may expect it. Then after the family fought for YEARS, Michelle's body was exhumed. What was found that had never been reported?? The figurative nail in the coffin. But why hasn't her manner of death ever been changed?

Oh, let's not forget the next civilian to investigate Michelle's death....as he got closer, the man was made to stop in his tracks. By being murdered. Another murder yet unsolved.

Just north of Nashville, in the small town of Cross Plains, Tennessee, Jennifer Wix was becoming a wonderful mother. It was 2004 and her beautiful daughter, Adrianna, had just turned two years old. While Jennifer had previous plans to obtain work in either equine therapy or as a park ranger, sadly she was now making plans to escape an unsafe home.

Jennifer was living at the time with her boyfriend, Joey Benton, and his parents. Parties got wilder, Joey's temper got shorter, and his parents had increasing animosity toward Jennifer and her daughter. During one of her last interactions with Joey's mother, Jennifer and Adrianna's food was thrown on the ground outside and she was instructed to go "eat like the dogs do."

The only thing we know with certainty in the moments leading up to the disappearance of the two girls, is that Adrianna had a new and concerning diagnosis, and Jennifer had decided fully that she would not be spending another night under that roof. But did she ever get the chance to escape?

Neither she nor Adrianna have ever been seen again.

BUT:

In over two decades, Joey hasn't spoken. He maintained from the start that he dropped them both off at a gas station, with an unknown person. But his information was contradictory at best, and simply untrue. And then just last year, after his father went to jail on unrelated charges, Joes decided it was time.

He. Spoke.

And you won't believe it.

Weapons charges, alibis that don't align, domestic violence, and the retrieval of a decomposing human leg....

How is this story going to end?

BREAKING UPDATES: We discuss Ellen Greenberg's case again, with the most recent updates after the HULU documentary. Ellen Greenberg's life ended in her apartment on January 26, 2011. The 27 year old first grade teacher was engaged, had a close family, and dear friends. But on that afternoon, as a blizzard changed the afternoon's events, Ellen lain propped against the kitchen cabinets. Her Uggs and sweatpants were drenched with blood, glasses strewn bedside her on the floor, and a knife was plunged in her chest almost four inches deep. This was only one of the 23 knife wounds to her chest, neck, abdomen, head, and back of the neck. Ellen also had over 50 bruises in various stages of healing. But her fiancé was in the apartment gym when it happened. See, she chose to end her life this way while he was gone for 40 min. Well, that's what the medical examiners in Pennsylvania want you to believe. That's right. Secret meetings, pressure from the DA's office, an Attorney General's office turning a blind eye...the list goes on. Ellen's fiancé was fully lawyered up (recommended it seems, by his uncle who is a notable lawyer in the state). The same uncle that retrieved all of Ellen's laptops and phone mere hours after her death. After a series of civil court cases and multiple independent autopsy reviews, a documentary that dropped last week, and a settlement, Ellen's parents received the results from the latest autopsy review from the state's examiner. You won't believe what it said.Join Andrea Up Late and Brian Sanders as they discuss the case that has everybody questioning not only the events of that day in January, but how in the world this conclusion can be made after seeing the wounds on Ellen's body.

It was unusual that Bernice Warden was not behind the cash register as customers took turns entering the general store. Then they remembered it was the first day of deer hunting season, so maybe she was out in the field trying her luck.

However, when Deputy Frank Warden showed up to say hello to his mother, Bernice, he noticed something the others had not. The cash register was missing. A rifle was not in it's place on the shelf. There was blood on the floor. A receipt showed the previous day's last sale - a purchase of antifreeze. It told the Deputy who he needed to talk to for answers. but it could never have told him what he'd find when that conversation came to fruition.

As officers made their way to the outbuilding, they were met with twilight. Armed with flashlights and apprehension, they found Bernice. She was hanging nude, beheaded, from the rafters on Ed Gein's property. She had been slaughtered as one would slaughter an animal. Unfortunately for the officers, they were unaware that they would only find worse things as they made their way through the house.

This bizarre and terrifying saga is one that starts with isolation, abuse, and fanatical prudence - but ends with grave robbing, murder, and the need for one man to not only idolize his mother, but BECOME her.

Join Andrea Up Late and Brian Sanders as they explore the complexities of a man who had reality twisted in such a way, the hair on your neck will stand up.

The entertainment industry has used this real life horror show as inspiration for movies such as Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and much more.

Season 4 Episode 6BREAKING UPDATE:In 1991, Austin, TX, was a relatively small town and certainly one that felt safe. The local frozen yogurt shop was closing business on the night of Friday, December 6, and four teenage girls were excited to start their weekend. But when a local patrol officer noticed flames from the building, any innocence remaining in Austin vanished. Firefighters arrived to find the girls bound, nude, and murdered. But the flames and subsequent water washed away any obtainable evidence to solve the heinous murders. Or did it? This case went stale for the last 34 years. Make no mistake, there were convictions, but there was massive coercion. Finally, LAST WEEK, a BREAKING update. Thanks to genetic genealogy - we have a match. And we could have never seen it coming.Watch Nightshift live on the Andrea Up Late YouTube channel. Listen wherever you stream audio podcasts. Email us at [email protected].

In California in 1978, the coast was the place to be. Surfing dominated, and teenagers looked for any instance to escape with friends, light bon fires, and listen to music into the night.

One night in particular was no exception, when Jim Alt and Barbara Nantais chose to socialize at Torrey Pines State Park. The teens enjoyed their time together, finally zipping up their sleeping bag for a slumber under the stars.

But the entire world changed for Jim when he woke, freezing. He didn't realize immediately that he was covered in blood. Barely conscious, he searched for Barbara. but what he found left questions still unanswered.

PART 2 - Interview With Steve Hodel: Andrea and Brian sit down with a retired LAPD detective who has investigated this case for over two decades - and finds his father to be guilty of the heinous murder. Watch this week as we sit down with Steve Hodel to discuss his childhood, father, and the results of this wild investigation. Season 4 Episode 2:When Betty Bersinger took a morning stroll with her daughter, she thought it odd that a disassembled mannequin would be lying by the sidewalk near her home. But the horrific reality was that it was the corpse of Elizabeth Short. Elizabeth's porcelain skin, raven black hair, ice blue eyes, and crimson lips were striking. But no more so than the condition of her corpse, mutilated, when found lying in two parts. The Glasgow smile, missing skin, and bisected body would fuel the nightmares of journalists and first responders for years. In 1940's Hollywood, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, and Bette Davis were headliners. But one young woman from Massachusetts was making her way. Elizabeth "Beth" Short was a young woman with family on each side of country. A lung condition forced her to seek warm air and to remove herself from the harsh climate of the northeast winters. After a prolonged estrangement from her father, Elizabeth set out to once again experience the west coast and establish her identity. But a string of failed relationships and one hardship after another left her often seeking a warm meal and shelter where it could be found. Unfortunately, her life was cut short when she fell into the company of a still unknown suspect. Her blood was drained, empty concrete bags were littered, and multiple taunting letters sent to the LAPD - yet this case remains officially unsolved. But- has new evidence changed that?Join Andrea Up Late and Brian Sanders as they dive into part 1 of the story of the Black Dahlia.
