On March 4, 2001, 11-year-old Bethany Markowski vanished during what was supposed to be a routine weekend visit with her father, Larry. He says she went into the Old Hickory Mall in Jackson, Tennessee, while he napped in the van. But there’s one big problem—security footage shows no sign she was ever there.

In this episode, we’ll dig into Bethany’s life before she disappeared, the volatile custody battle between her parents, and the messy, conflicting timeline that day. We’ll talk about phone pings that don’t match Larry’s story, witnesses who contradict his version of events, and the eerie gaps in time where no one—not even her own family—knows where Bethany was.

We’ll also explore the strange reported sightings over the years, including a chilling 2016 case where a girl in East Tennessee claimed she was Bethany…and knew details only Bethany could have known.

Twenty-plus years later, her mother, Jonnie, is still fighting to find her daughter, still pushing for answers, and still calling out the system that failed to protect Bethany in the first place.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Bethany Markowski, please contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.

In August 2004, 12-year-old Boy Scout Garrett Bardsley vanished in Utah’s High Uintas Wilderness — just 150 feet from his campsite. He had been fishing with his father at Cuberant Lake when he stepped into cold water, soaking his shoes and socks. Garrett told his dad he was heading back to camp to change… but he never arrived.

What followed was one of the largest search efforts in the state’s history — hundreds of searchers, helicopters, dogs, and thermal imaging — but no sign of Garrett was ever found. Not his fishing pole. Not his clothes. Only a single sock, later disputed as even being his.

In this episode of Serial Napper, we explore the mysterious disappearance of Garrett Bardsley, the theories of what could have happened in the rugged Uintas terrain, and the heartbreaking legacy left behind — including the creation of the Garrett Bardsley Foundation, which continues to help in search and rescue operations today.

Could Garrett have gotten lost? Was there an animal encounter? Or did something more sinister happen in those mountains?

🕵️‍♀️ If you have any information on this case, contact the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.

In December 1987, 12-year-old Trina Campbell stepped off her school bus in Brampton, Ontario—and vanished. She had survived a traumatic childhood, bounced through the foster system, and was just beginning to settle into a new group home. But the system that was supposed to protect her failed. Again.

Months later, her butchered remains were found in a wooded area north of the city—dumped like garbage by a man who should have never been free.

Douglas Worth was a known violent offender with a decades-long criminal record, including the rape of another young Indigenous girl. He was released from prison just six months before Trina’s murder, despite multiple warnings that he was a high-risk predator.

And now, in July 2025, he’s been released on parole again—this time into a quiet community in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

This episode is about more than a murder. It’s about systemic failure, generational trauma, and a justice system that continues to roll the dice with women’s and children’s lives.

🔍 In this episode, we cover:

Trina’s heartbreaking upbringing and disappearance

Douglas Worth’s disturbing history and escalating violence

The chilling discovery of Trina’s remains

A trial that brought no closure—only outrage

His recent 2025 parole and the terrifying reality of his release

This case will leave you angry, shaken, and wondering how many more Trinas will be failed before something changes.

🖤 If you or someone you know is in danger or experiencing abuse, please reach out to a local support service or crisis line. You’re not alone.

In this deeply disturbing episode, we’re digging into the twisted double life of David Fuller—a seemingly friendly hospital maintenance worker who was hiding some of the darkest secrets imaginable.

In 1987, the murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce rocked the quiet town of Tunbridge Wells. For decades, the case went cold—until a DNA breakthrough in 2020 pointed to one man. But what police found after his arrest would shock the nation.

Fuller didn’t just kill. He used his job at two NHS hospitals to secretly access the morgue and sexually abuse the bodies of over 100 women and girls, ranging in age from 9 to 100.

He kept detailed records. He filmed himself. And he went unnoticed for over 30 years.

In this episode, we’ll cover:

🔹 The unsolved Bedsit Murders

🔹 The DNA match that cracked the case

🔹 The horrifying mortuary abuse

🔹 His rare whole-life sentence

🔹 The NHS inquiry—and whether this could happen again

⚠️ Warning: This episode contains graphic content, including discussions of sexual violence and necrophilia. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

In 1999, 15-year-old Rachel Barber walked out of her ballet class and vanished. What followed was every parent's worst nightmare—and a chilling tale of obsession, identity theft, and murder. This week on Serial Napper, I’m diving deep into the haunting case of Rachel Barber, a gifted young dancer whose life was stolen by someone she thought she could trust: her former babysitter, Caroline Reed Robertson.

Rachel was vibrant, talented, and full of promise. Caroline was quiet, isolated, and desperate to be someone else—someone like Rachel. What unfolded was a dark and deeply disturbing story of jealousy turned deadly. From Caroline’s twisted diary entries to her shocking murder plan that involved assuming Rachel’s identity, we break down every step leading up to that tragic day, the police investigation, and the chilling court revelations.

Grace Millane was just 22 years old when she set out on the adventure of a lifetime — a solo trip around the world. Smart, independent, and full of life, she was exploring New Zealand when she matched with a man on Tinder. What happened next shocked the world.

In this episode of Serial Napper, I dive into the heartbreaking case of Grace Millane — a young British traveller whose life was tragically cut short in what was supposed to be one of the safest countries in the world. I follow Grace’s journey, her final hours, and the disturbing cover-up attempts by her killer, Jesse Kempson.

This case isn’t just about one woman’s tragic end — it’s a gut-wrenching look at how quickly trust can be weaponized and how society continues to question victims rather than the people who harm them.

🔗 TW: This episode contains details of sexual assault, violence, and murder. Please listen with care.

When interior designer Jade Janks discovered hundreds of explicit photos of herself hidden on her stepfather’s computer — some dating back to when she was just 16 — her world shattered.

Days later, Tom Merriman, co-founder of a beloved butterfly sanctuary in Encinitas, California, was dead.

What happened in the hours between that horrific discovery and Tom’s final breath? Was it premeditated murder... or a panicked act of vigilante justice?

In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most disturbing and controversial cases in recent memory. From shocking screenshots and deleted hard drives to text messages like, “I just dosed the hell out of him,” this case is layered in betrayal, trauma, and moral gray areas that’ll leave you questioning everything.

Was Jade seeking justice, or hiding a crime? Hit play — and then you be the judge.

On the morning of November 13, 2016, fertility doctor Dr. Eric Scott Sills called 911 from his San Clemente home, claiming he had found his wife, Susann Sills, unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs. He said she’d fallen. But the scene told a far more chilling story.

In this episode of Serial Napper, I dig into the suspicious death of 45-year-old Susann Sills—an ambitious, witty, and driven woman who helped build a successful fertility clinic alongside her husband. While her death was initially believed to be an accident, forensic evidence, troubling text messages, and a twisted courtroom theory involving the family dogs told a very different tale.

Nearly two and a half years after Susann’s death, Dr. Sills was arrested and charged with her murder. This case would unfold over years, full of bizarre claims, devastating testimony from their children, and one of the most unusual defences we’ve ever heard in a true crime trial.

On New Year’s Eve 2012, beloved kindergarten teacher Noelle Paquette disappeared after leaving a party alone. Less than two days later, her body was discovered in a wooded area outside Sarnia, Ontario, brutally taken by two strangers with a twisted fantasy that turned into a nightmare.

In this episode of Serial Napper, I unravel the disturbing and heartbreaking case of Noelle Paquette: a woman remembered for her kindness, selflessness, and radiant spirit. You’ll hear how a nurse and a 19-year-old man connected through a BDSM fetish website and plotted an unthinkable crime. I take you through the investigation, shocking confessions, and the emotional courtroom impact statements that left a community shaken.

But this isn’t just a story of tragedy. It’s also a story of legacy. Noelle’s memory lives on through Noelle’s Gift Foundation, which has raised over $150,000 to support children and families in need, just as Noelle did during her life.

This episode is graphic and emotionally intense, so listener discretion is advised.

When 38-year-old Kacee Lyn Terry was found unresponsive in her Utah bedroom in August 2024, everyone believed her years-long battle with cancer had finally come to an end. But what unfolded next would shock her family, friends, and the entire community.

In this episode of Serial Napper, we’re diving into the twisted case of Kacee Terry and Meggan Randall Sundwall — a licensed nurse and former friend who now stands accused of aggravated murder. Investigators say Meggan not only convinced Kacee that she was terminally ill, but also orchestrated a slow, calculated plan to end her life — with a $1.5 million life insurance payout at the center of it all.

We’ll unpack the chilling evidence, including more than 28,000 text messages exchanged between the two women, deleted phone data, and the use of insulin on a woman who was not diabetic. We’ll also break down the legal implications around assisted suicide and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) laws in both Utah and Canada, and what obligations nurses have when it comes to end-of-life care.

Was this a mercy killing, a manipulative con, or something even darker?

Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including medical deception, suicide, and end-of-life care. Listener discretion is advised.
