September 08, 2021 #95: Kidnapped By North Korea Part 1 (Case of Choi Eun-hee)
She couldn’t believe it. They wanted her to write a letter to her kidnappers thanking them for all that they have done for her.

Are these people out of their minds? She missed her old life in South Korea - she had been a famous movie actress, her children, freedom, she missed it all.

Now she was kidnapped in a foreign country forced to write letters of love to the men who ordered it.

She started the letter - Dear Kim Jong Il The Supreme Leader of North Korea…

Book Rec: “A Kim Jong Il Production” - by Paul Fischer (Even my Korean parents who grew up with this case on the news learned so much from this book! 10/10)

September 05, 2021 #94: The Baby Faced Killer (Case of Gonzales Family Murders)
The goal was simple. Break into the house - sneak into the upstairs room and murder the 18 year old high school girl.

Now comes the hard part - the wait. Waiting in an eerily silent house near the body of the young girl till her parents come home. They too have to be murdered.

Now for the finishing touches. Write on the walls in big blue spray paint “f**k off Asians KKK.”

September 01, 2021 #93: The Mommy Blogger Killer (Case of Lacey Spears)
She was rushing to the emergency room - her 5-year-old son was in the back. Every minute could mean life or death. He had been having seizures all day.

But before entering the hospital she stood over her suffering son and took a picture.

What would she caption this one? Maybe she would mention how this was going to be his 13th surgery. Yeah, that would be good. The followers would eat that up.

Her body was found by her own children. When the police rushed to the scene they were shocked.

She had been brutally mutilated - but something curious was in her hands. They were the keys to solving the case.

A clump of hair was found in each hand - when they ran the DNA…

One locket of hair belonged to her - the other an unidentifiable woman.

A ritualistic killing with an emphasis on women’s long hair. Who is this strange killer? And will they catch him in time?

August 25, 2021 #91: Teacher Stalked By Student For 15 Years (Case of Mary & Beth Stauffer)
He wasn’t like the other boyfriends and husbands. He treasured every single moment that he spent with her.

When they went grocery shopping he studied her favorite foods and brands.

When they went shopping he admired all the clothes that she picked out and watched her try them on.

Sure - she was married but that can’t stop true love. And what if she doesn’t know him yet? Once he kidnaps her - she will fall in love.

3 people stranded on a boat in the middle of the ocean.

1 of them has lied to the others. The truth will have deadly consequences.

1 of them is hiding a big secret from the others. A secret she doesn’t want to get out.

And only 1 will survive the 70 day ordeal.

Book Rec: “Lost” - by Thomas Thompson (one of my fave authors) it’s so good you’ll read it all in one sitting especially if it’s a rainy day.

“Welcome to Bob’s Bazaar Bizarre” - the small shop for oddities from around the world. May Bob interest you in some genuine human skulls? Perhaps a shrunken head in a jar?

When you leave the shop’s bizarre environment you can’t help but wonder… that Bob guy is so strange…

And how does he even collect so many real human skulls? You can’t help but wonder what Bob does in his free time to enlarge his collection.

August 15, 2021 #88: The Girl Under The Mattress (Kidnapping of Shannon Matthews)
The police had been searching for Shannon for 24 days - a search that would cost taxpayers over $3.2 million.

The police were doing yet another routine search of a house they heard a tiny voice call out “stop it you’re scaring me.” Shivers went down their spine.

Where is that coming from? Inside the bed? They looked closer and realized the 9-year-old was underneath the mattress…

They asked her “well where is the man that took you?” She pointed at the bed…

August 12, 2021 #87: The Devil’s Pass Killers (Case of Elizabeth Peña & Jennifer Ertman)
Joe wasn’t your average Joe - he wanted to be someone spectacular. Someone to be feared.

He skipped class, stole cars, carried guns, and even managed to get a girlfriend named Esther. So when he saw the “E” ring he knew he had to have it - to give to his girlfriend.

He leaned over and pulled it off the girl’s lifeless hand. The girl that he and his friends had just murdered.

August 08, 2021 #86: The Mysterious Disappearance of Kristin Smart
After a rough start, Kristin was adjusting well at Cal Poly. She made friends and even took a lifeguard position that required her to get up by 4:20 AM.

And then she disappeared.

Nearby, Mary had just rented a new house but the problem was that dang alarm. It would go off every day at 4:20 AM and she didn’t know where it was.

But strangely it wasn’t coming inside the house. But outside. Sounded like it was buried. But who would buy a stopwatch? '

*The podcast “Your Own Backyard” - by Chris Lambert is one of the most heartbreaking, thorough, and well-done podcasts I’ve ever listened to… Please go give it a listen because there’s so much more to this story.
