Mindy Tran was a little girl from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, who went missing on August 17th, 1994, while riding her pink bicycle to her friend’s house to play. Her body would be discovered six weeks later in a shallow grave only a few blocks away from her house, hidden amongst the brush. Witnesses reported seeing a man in the area carrying a large, heavy suitcase. The belief was this man had killed Mindy and transported her body to the woods in this suitcase. A suspect was identified as Shannon Murrin, a 44-year-old man who lived in the same duplex as Mindy’s friend. The investigation into this suspect and what happened to Mindy Tran would lead to many shocking revelations - including a possible police cover-up and a love affair within the jury.

To this day, the Mindy Tran murder remains unsolved.

Dana Laskowski was a 36-year-old single mother of 9-year-old triplets. Despite having a massive amount of responsibility on her plate, she was the kind of person who always had her door open if you needed a bite to eat, a place to crash or just someone to talk to. This is why it was shocking to everyone who knew her, when she was discovered on her couch, twisted and contorted in a strange position, strangled to death.

When you open your heart to everyone, you risk allowing some bad seeds in, which, unfortunately, is exactly what would happen to Dana. Investigators looked at several of these bad seeds, to see if they were responsible for Dana’s horrific death - but it wasn’t until they found a journal, with an entry that read “Kill someone +get away with it”, that the case would be cracked wide open. This is the murder of Dana Laskowski, a nanny who loved life but sadly let a wolf in sheep's clothing get a little too close to her.

It has been 16 years since 14-year-old Andrew Gosden skipped school, withdrew all of his savings from his bank account and purchased a one-way train ticket to London - never to be heard from again. The quiet, introverted young man typically enjoyed staying at home playing on his Xbox, so this sudden trip to the city was completely out of character.

Over the years there have been multiple reported sightings of Andrew, though none have been confirmed. And just last year, two unnamed men were arrested in connection with the disappearance though no charges have been laid.

The disappearance of Andrew Gosden is still very much an active investigation. Andrew would have turned 30 years old just last week. It’s time to find out what happened to Andrew Gosden and bring him home to his parents, who have been tortured with not knowing for over a decade.

In December of 1998, 14-year-old Michael Politte was enjoying a sleepover at his home with one of his best friends. He was awoken in the middle of the night to a haze in his room and the smell of smoke. He woke his friend up so that they could go investigate what was happening. As they walked from his bedroom toward his mother’s room, they saw a glow emanating from underneath her door. When they opened it, they were horrified to find 40-year-old Rita, Michael’s mother, on fire from the waist up. This is the story of Michael Politte - a 14-year-old boy, whose mother was violently murdered and whose death would land him in prison for a large portion of his life. But did he do it?

Teenage girls, 14-year-old Ivy Webster and 16-year-old Brittany Brewer had plans to go to a sleepover at the home of their best friend, 13-year-old Tiffany Guess. The two girls had gone to her home many times in the past and nothing seemed out of the ordinary on this occasion.

However, when the girls did not return home the following morning and were unreachable by phone, a police search of the home they were staying at would reveal one of the most horrific crime scenes local officers had ever witnessed.

Unbeknownst to just about everyone, there was a sexual predator, by the name of Jesse McFadden, who lived in the home and when he became pressured by the possibility of going back to jail, he snapped - killing everyone who was there.

This mass murder, now known as the Henryetta killings, will make you rethink just how well you know the people in your life and how much you trust them with your children.

Blair Adams was a 31-year-old man from Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, who fully believed that someone was after him, following him, trying to kill him. His friends and family thought that the historically cheerful Blair must be suffering from some sort of mental illness, so they didn’t take what he was saying seriously.

Until, July 5, 1996, when Blair decided to quit his job, empty his bank account and flee across the American border. While there, several witnesses reported seeing him acting erratically. He appeared very paranoid, obviously still believing that his life was in danger. But again - no one took him seriously. Then, shockingly just a few days later, Blair’s body would be discovered in a parking lot in Knoxville, Tennessee. He had been beaten to death and was naked from the waist down. There was cash totalling $4,000 in various currencies scattered all around his body. His gold jewelry also had not been stolen from his body. So what happened to Blair Adams? Was someone really following him, trying to kill him? Or was this some kind of coincidence - a random act of violence towards a man who just so happened to think someone was after him?

Back in 1961, an 11-year-old little girl by the name of Tere Jo Duperrault would be found floating in the middle of the ocean near the Bahamas on a small life raft.

According to the story, she had been on a vacation aboard a sailboat, called the Bluebelle, with her mom, dad, siblings - and another family, when everything went wrong.

With the boat quickly filling up with water and beginning to sink, Tere Jo barely managed to jump into a life raft at the last minute. She had been left to survive in the elements, all alone on that raft, for 48 hours and it was an absolute miracle that she was alive.

However, when she woke up, the details of the harrowing events that happened that fateful night, leaving her stranded in the ocean on the raft, would shock authorities. Her account involved violence, an inheritance plot and a sinister cover-up, now known as the Bluebelle Murders.

Money makes people do crazy things. But how many people could possibly be so money-hungry that they would kill their own grandfather and mother over a span of several years, in order to keep their bank account stocked? That is exactly what it is alleged Nathan Carman did. Nathan came from a very wealthy family and inherited half a million dollars after his grandfather was murdered, and shot to death in his own mansion. There was a suspicion that Nathan would be involved, though no one has ever been charged with the killing.

Within a few short years, Nathan spent every penny he had in his account. Which is why the following events were incredibly suspicious. Nathan would be involved in a boating accident - where his boat sunk with his mother presumably on it and he was lost at sea for eight days before being rescued. With his mother presumed deceased, he stood to inherit 7 million dollars - that is, if he could convince a jury that he didn’t fake a boating accident and kill her for money. Nathan would maintain his innocence - denying killing his grandfather or his mother. But he would not have his day in court. Just this past week, Nathan Carmas was found unresponsive in his prison cell and pronounced dead. Will we ever know the truth of what happened - and if Nathan would kill the two people closest to him, for millions of dollars?

Brandon Hole was a very troubled teenager from Indianapolis. His mother, Sheila, had spent basically her son’s whole life trying to get him help, while also trying to keep herself safe from his violent abuse. I’m talking about a ton of therapy that seemed to go nowhere, police intervention and even an investigation by the FBI. There were so many warning signs over the years that he was just one bad day away from completely exploding, and possibly inflicting mass violence on others.

But in April of 2021, he actually seemed to be getting better. He appeared more positive, upbeat and began making plans for the future to turn his life around. What no one knew, was that Brandon was at his absolute worse - and on a day when he enjoyed take out and a haircut with his mom, he carried out Indianapolis' worst mass shooting in history at a FedEx Ground facility. Sadly, mass shootings in America are not uncommon - but we’re going to talk about the things that make Brandon Hole’s story much different than any other mass shooter.

It has been seven years since 16-year-old Mekayla Bali was last seen withdrawing all of the funds in her bank account and attempting to pawn off a ring, before completely disappearing from the Yorkton, Saskatchewan area.

Mekayla was caught on CCTV footage doing several really bizarre things on the day she disappeared. April 12, 2016. She skipped school and told friends she was leaving for a vacation to Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan. Though it has never been proven, it is believed that she was trying to meet up with someone she was chatting with on social media. Whether or not she actually was able to meet that person - or if she came head to head with someone else first - we don’t know.

What we do know is that something has happened to Mekayla that has prevented her from coming home or contacting her family. This is the unsolved disappearance of Mekayla Bali.

There is currently a $100,000 reward for information leading to Mekayla. Anyone with information about Mekayla's disappearance is urged to contact the RCMP, Crime Stoppers, or https://www.bringmekaylabalihome.com/
