Over My Dead Pod

When 23-year-old Hannah Upp vanished from New York City in 2008, everyone feared the worst. But nearly three weeks later, she was found alive, floating in the water, with no memory of where she'd been or what had happened to her.

Five years later, she disappeared again. And then, in 2017, it happened a third time. Only this time, Hannah never came home.

But Hannah's story isn't the typical missing-person case. There was no confirmed kidnapping, no evidence of murder, and no clear indication she wanted to disappear. Instead, investigators uncovered a rare psychological condition that could cause Hannah to forget who she was entirely.

In this episode of Over My Dead Pod, we dive into the baffling disappearances of Hannah Upp, the mystery of the human mind, and the haunting question that remains: How do you find someone who may not even know they're missing?

On December 30, 1999, a rural Oklahoma home went up in flames. Inside, investigators found the body of Kathy Freeman but her husband, Danny, and two teenage girls, Ashley Freeman and Lauria Bible, were nowhere to be found.

Then, the next day, the Bible family returned to the burned-out home and made a horrifying discovery investigators had missed: Danny Freeman’s body.

Both parents had been murdered. Ashley and Lauria had vanished.

What followed was a case filled with missed evidence, disturbing rumors, alleged confessions, and questions that would haunt two families for decades.

So what happened inside the Freeman home that night—and where are Ashley Freeman and Lauria Bible?

In 1993, four-year-old Derrick Robie left home for a summer recreation program just blocks away. He never made it.

What followed was a devastating investigation that led police to 13-year-old Eric Smith — and a case that would raise difficult questions about juvenile crime, punishment, and accountability.

This week on Over My Dead Pod, we’re covering the murder of Derrick Robie and the shocking case that followed.

On January 17, 2008, 21-year-old Denise Amber Lee was home in North Port, Florida, with her two young sons when a stranger entered her home and abducted her.

What followed was a desperate race against time. Denise managed to secretly call 911 from her captor’s phone, giving dispatchers whatever information she could while trying not to be discovered. Other witnesses called 911 too — including one who reported seeing a woman struggling inside a car on the highway.

But despite multiple calls, critical information never reached officers in time.

In this episode of Over My Dead Pod, we walk through Denise’s abduction and murder, the investigation that led police to Michael King, the 911 call that became central to the case, his trial, and the changes Denise’s family fought for afterward.

This is the story of Denise Amber Lee — a 21-year-old mother who did everything she could to save herself.

You asked. You begged. And Kate finally gave in.

This week on Over My Dead Pod, we’re covering the Lindsey Clancy case — and more specifically, the trial that has had everyone talking.

In January 2023, three young children were killed inside their Duxbury, Massachusetts home. Their mother, Lindsey Clancy, was charged with their deaths. What followed became one of the most complicated and fiercely debated criminal cases in recent memory, raising difficult questions about mental illness, postpartum psychiatric disorders, criminal responsibility, and what Lindsey understood at the time her children died.

We break down Lindsey’s story, the events leading up to that night, the prosecution and defense theories, the evidence presented at trial, the moments that don’t seem to fit neatly into either side’s version of events, and the possible verdicts the jury was asked to consider.

Whether you’ve followed this case from the beginning or you’re hearing the full story for the first time, there is a lot to unpack.

For more than 30 years, no one knew her name.

On October 24, 1994, skeletal remains were discovered beside railroad tracks near U.S. Highway 64 in Conway County, Arkansas. Investigators determined the woman had been murdered, but with few clues to her identity, the case eventually became known simply as Conway County Jane Doe.

Over the decades, investigators refused to completely give up on her. Advances in DNA technology offered new possibilities, including a reconstructed image of what she may have looked like in life. Then, in February 2026, the mystery that had lasted more than three decades was finally solved.

Conway County Jane Doe had a name: Jamie Ann Moore.

In this episode of Over My Dead Pod, we follow Jamie’s case from the discovery of her remains in 1994 through the decades-long effort to identify her, the DNA technology that finally gave investigators an answer, and the questions that remain now that Jamie finally has her name back.

Because identifying Jamie solved one mystery — but it reopened another.

Who killed Jamie Ann Moore?

Andrei Chikatilo became one of the most infamous serial killers in history — but for years, authorities in the Soviet Union struggled to stop him.

Known as the Rostov Ripper and the Red Ripper, Chikatilo terrorized the Soviet Union throughout the 1970s, '80s, and early '90s, targeting women and children and ultimately confessing to more than 50 murders.

But this case isn't only disturbing because of the sheer number of victims. It's also the story of an investigation plagued by missed opportunities, false confessions, secrecy, and a Soviet system reluctant to acknowledge that a serial killer could even exist within its borders.

In this episode of Over My Dead Pod, we go back to Chikatilo's early life, the crimes that sparked one of the largest manhunts in Soviet history, the mistakes that allowed him to remain free, and the investigation that finally brought the Rostov Ripper to justice.

This is the story of Andrei Chikatilo.

On August 25, 2000, 25-year-old Kristin Laurite pulled off I-40 in Morrilton, Arkansas for a break on her cross-country move to start a new life.

She never got back on the road. What followed was a 5-year mystery, a desperate billboard campaign that read “Do You Know Who Killed Me?”, and a DNA breakthrough connecting her murder to a trail of victims across the country.

Who was really waiting at that rest stop and how many others did he leave behind?

A hidden bunker deep in the Washington wilderness. A husband and father who vanished without a trace. And a horrifying discovery that proved his escape plan came at an unimaginable cost.

In this episode of Over My Dead Pod, we unravel the disturbing case of Peter Keller—the survivalist whose obsession with disappearing into the woods concealed a far darker reality. For years, Keller meticulously constructed a secret underground bunker in the forests of the Cascade Mountains, telling those around him little about the project. To outsiders, it seemed like the eccentric hobby of a man preparing for the apocalypse. But investigators would eventually learn the bunker wasn't built to survive the end of the world—it was built to hide from the consequences of his own actions.

How does someone spend years preparing for survival while secretly planning murder? And what drives a seemingly ordinary family man to choose isolation, violence, and ultimately, self-destruction?

Join us as we descend into one of the most chilling survivalist cases in modern true crime—a story where the deepest secrets were buried beneath the trees.
