On April 1st, 2008 Skye Lynn Budnick took a one-way flight to Japan. She was just 21 years old, she didn’t tell anyone she was planning to take this trip and she hasn’t been seen or heard from since. I had a listener send me this story because Skye’s sister Megan has become the most incredible advocate for her over on TikTok, sharing her story and experience and keeping Skye’s name out there. Tonight I’m going to be using my platform to share Skye’s story as well, using the information I’ve been able to gather, but I want to make this point very clear: once you’re done listening, please head over to Megan’s TikTok account and listen to her videos. This is her story and her sister’s disappearance, nobody can tell it better than Megan can.

Tonight, we’re going to talk about one family in particular that was featured on Wife Swap, the Stockdale family, who lived a very restrictive lifestyle. Jacob Stockdale would go on to kill his mother and younger brother in cold blood, and after seeing how the Stockdales parented their children, you’re probably going to wonder if maybe this could have been avoided. Was this a case of nurture or was Jacob destined to kill? Let’s talk about it.

Gosch became one of the first children to be featured on milk cartons in 1982 after he went missing during one of his routine paper routes in Des Moines, Iowa. And while that alone is interesting, it’s actually one of the least fascinating facts about his disappearance. The police did a less than stellar job looking into Johnny’s disappearance, but was it shoddy police work or a massive cover-up of a child sex trafficking ring?

We’re going to walk through it all, and trust me when I say, this is a story you will never forget.

17-year-old Ashley Reeves was savagely attacked by a teacher who was having an inappropriate relationship with her. He strangled her in a forested area of a park, leaving her there like to die alone, where he hoped no one would find her at least for a while. His violence, chilling, and his behaviour after the violence are even more shocking. This is the survival story of Ashley Reeves.

The video of Ashley being found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxoEDg-RcyY

Tonight I’m covering a case that needs far more attention than it has received so far. 22 year old Justin Evans would be reported missing shortly before Christmas of 2020. His disappearance was highly suspicious to those who knew him and his family pushed for answers. Approximately 5 months later, Justin’s body would be discovered near his home and the police would say that they didn’t believe it was a homicide, which would leave either an accidental death or suicide. Once you hear the facts of the case, the stories told by the last people to see Justin and all of the lies and inconsistencies, you’re going to see why Justin’s family and friend’s have publicly pushed back against the police conclusions. And just today, there has been an important update in Justin Evan’s case that blows this whole thing wide open again.

Tonight, we’re talking about the Sodder family and the 5 Sodder children, gone without a trace after a house fire on Christmas Eve. The mystery to this day still remains - did the 5 middle children die in the fire? Or was the fire all a cover for their actual abduction? We’re going to dive into who the Sodder family is, the events that happened that night, and theories as to what the truth actually is.

13-year-old Dylan Redwine seemingly vanished in 2012 while having a court-ordered visit with his father over Thanksgiving weekend. Both Dylan’s mother and father, divorced for several years, appeared on the Dr. Phil show to get the word out about Dylan’s disappearance while also pointing their finger at each other. Dylan’s father believed the young teenager had simply run away, but his mother felt something more sinister happened. The truth would be beyond disgusting.

Tonight’s episode is a story about a Japanese Kleenex commercial that many people believe is cursed. Of course for research purposes I had to have a watch myself and umm yeah. It’s pretty dang creepy. I’ll have to report back later whether or not I think I’ve been cursed. I’ll have the link to this commercial in my show notes so that you too can watch it, if you dare.

Chelsea Small was killed in cold blood while working at a cash advance store. Sounds like a cut-and-dry robbery right? Wrong. Some of the details in this case appear to point to a targeted killing. And the craziest part about all of this is that much like the Missy Bevers case, the killer was caught on video, very clearly. He was calm, unbothered even though he had just murdered a young woman. He has identifiable features and mannerisms, someone knows who this is and 2021 is the year he needs to be found.

Grab a drink, sit back and relax while we talk about vampires tonight. Not your typical Dracula, Transylvania vampires - oh no. We’re talking about Rhode Island vampires, those who were said to carry diseases and curses, that needed to be burned and consumed in order to lift their hold. One of the most documented cases of such a vampire is that of Mercy Brown, who lived in Rhode Island in the 1890s. Her story is just one amongst several others, as New England vampire panic spread across the area as fast as any disease ever could.
