Found drifting on the open ocean on the brink of death, Terry Jo Duperrault’s survival was nothing short of a miracle.

She’d been at sea for over 3 days, enduring harsh heat, bitter cold, and the tormenting bites of the parrot fish. Terry Jo was the survivor of an apparent yacht accident – yet when the boat’s captain was told the incredible news, he went to a motel, and took his own life.

This is the gut-wrenching story of the sinking of The Bluebell, and the deaths of 4 members of the Duperrault family

Three weeks after going missing, Californian ‘supermom’ Sherri Papini was found running down a highway with a chain tied to her waist and the word "exodus" burned into her back.

Her story defied belief. Kidnapped outside of her home, by a pair of Latina women and driven hundreds of miles with nothing but mariachi music for company, it seemed almost too strange to be true.

The police investigation that followed was one of the biggest in recent memory - yet it took over four years before the truth finally came out.

And what detectives found, turned out to be even stranger than Sherri's bizarre story...

UPDATE: Since we released our episode on the Barnetts – who said their adopted 9-year-old daughter had turned out to be a murderous, adult woman – Natalia has finally broken her silence in a six(!)-part new interview series.

And the revelations are damning…

Re-listen to the episode to brush up first, or skip to 1:20:00 for Hannah and Suruthi’s take on the latest shocking updates!

In 2009, the horror movie Orphan told the story of a couple who take in a creepy child from a Russian orphanage who – spoiler alert – turns out to be a psychopathic adult woman. 

And just a year after the film’s release, real life seemed to echo fiction when the Barnetts, a wealthy American family, adopted a 6-year-old girl named Natalia Grace from Ukraine…Only to abandon her and flee to Canada within just 3 years. 

Why? Because according to the Barnetts, Natalia – who had a rare form of dwarfism – wasn’t a little girl at all. She was actually a 22-year-old woman dead-set on killing their whole family.

In this hotly-disputed case, we explore the allegations, the evidence, and how one girl found herself at the centre of one of the weirdest true-crime mysteries in recent memory. 

Let’s just say that in this story, nothing is quite as it seems…
