September 27, 2022 Episode 100: No Other Choice
In 1971, the Uruguayan Old Christian's rugby team was flying to Chile to defend their most recent championship win a year earlier. In the air, spirits were high as almost the entire plane consisted of players, family, friends, and fans. However things took a turn for the worse, when the pilot made a fatal mistake. After hitting extremely rough air the plane was flying only feet away from the mountain tops. The pilots tried to regain altitude, but the plane crashed, tearing off both wings and the entire tail of the plane. What was left of the plane hurtled down the slope of a mountain before coming to a stop. The survivors were left stranded with no choice but to consume the bodies of the dead to stay alive.

September 20, 2022 Episode 99: The Durable Mike Malloy
During the height of the Great Depression in New York City, speakeasy owner Tony Marino and his friends were desperate for cash. They needed quick money and decided that the best bet was to commit life insurance fraud. Mike Malloy seemed like the easiest target. He had no family or friends, no consistent job, no home, and was by all accounts a severe alcoholic. Tony and his thugs hatched a plan for Mike to drink himself to death, but they would slowly learn how shockingly resilient Mike was.

We continue where we left off last week, with the police all over John Esposito. However, they can't seem to find any trace of Katie, despite searching John's house three separate times. All the while, Katie is still locked up feet from where they are. She eventually manages to break John down in an incredibly inventive way, securing her freedom, and ultimately setting up an ending that is everything that we wanted for her.

August 30, 2022 96: Episode 96: Shipwrecked
John and Jean Silverwood set out to sail the world with their four children. The family was on the last leg of the two year journey when their sailboat struck a reef stranding them in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. To make matters even worse, the gigantic 2,500 lb mast snapped and fell directly onto John pinning him down and severely injuring him. As the sailboat was torn apart by black waves, all they could do was wait and hope that the distress signal they sent out was received by anyone.

August 23, 2022 Episode 95: Human Error
Eastern Airline's Flight 401 from New York to Miami was about to touch down, when their landing gear malfunctioned. The crew promptly engaged autopilot and climbed back to 2000 feet to try and fix the problem. Eventually, after failing to fix the gear immediately, they had to send someone down underneath the plane to manually check. Unbeknownst to the crew, the autopilot had been disengaged, and the plane was slowly losing altitude. The descent was so gradual that no one had noticed, until it was too late.

August 16, 2022 Episode 94: The Fast Food Killer
In 1997 there had been a string of robbery/homicides throughout some of the fast food restaurants around Nashville Tennessee. The perpetrator always had the employees empty the safe, before he would take their lives, and swipe the tape out of the surveillance cameras. The plan was to not leave any evidence behind and especially no witnesses. But in March of 1997, the fast food killer unknowingly left behind a witness named Jose Gonzalez.

August 09, 2022 Episode 93: Abduction of Carolynne Watson and Julian Buchwald
Julian and Carolynne had been dating for 2 years, and planned to have a picnic on the 1200 acre property that Julian's mom owned in Budgeree, Australia. They were having a great time by the casual, yet natural, 10 foot waterfall at the end of one of the trails. They were supposed to be home in a couple of hours, and wanting to be on time, they packed up and headed out. On the way back, Julian was looking for some roadkill that he saw on the way in so that he could get a closer look at what it was. He stopped at the end of the road, asking Carolynne if it was ok if he went to look. She agreed as long as he came back quickly. Julian was gone for 5 minutes, then 10, as Carolyn started to worry about what had happened. Right before she was about to get out of the car, she saw a man dressed in all black sprinting toward the car in her rearview mirror. Before she could even react, he had pulled her out of the car, and hog tied her.

July 26, 2022 91: Episode 91: A New Meaning For Grateful
In Newburgh, New York, cousins JJ and Pappito were having fun with their friend Cathy in the snow the day before Thanksgiving. There was a snowbank that was 8 feet tall in a nearby parking lot, and a snow fort was being built. As you might imagine, it was lit. That was until their parents noticed that JJ and Pappito had not come home before their curfew. Mild concern turned into an intense panic as the parents realized that the kids were nowhere to be found. It was especially concerning because Newburgh had one of the highest rates of crime in New York state, and a five year old had turned up dead in a suitcase not long ago. The police were called and the K9 unit shortly after to turn the neighborhood upside down to find JJ and Pappito.
