Have you ever hitchhiked? I think it’s a lot less common nowadays now that stranger danger is a more well-known concept. Still - if it’s something you like to do to move around, you may re-think that after hearing the story of Colleen Stan. Also known as the Girl in the Box, Colleen’s traumatic abduction, which happened back in the 70s, is one of the most well-known missing person cases.

Do you remember that infamous scene from the movie Final Destination with the logs in the back of the truck that become loose, fall off the truck bed, and kill the person in the car driving behind it? It’s horrific — the stuff that nightmares are made of.

The story of Todd Kendhammer begins with a total freak accident that is far too similar. At first, the accident that killed his wife Barbara Kendhammer appeared to be a total fluke, however, when investigators took a closer look, not everything was as it looked.

26-year-old Warriena Wright decided to meet up with a Tinder date while she was staying on the Gold Coast in Australia for a wedding. Warriena’s date would turn out to be 28-year-old Gable Tostee, and by the end of the evening, one of them would stand accused of causing the other to fall off a 14-floor apartment balcony. The events that unfolded in the early hours of August 8th, 2014, almost sound too insane to be true, however, the audio of the entire thing was captured on a cell phone recording.

This is a story where the elements that make up the law don’t necessarily match up with how we expect an innocent person to act. The outcome of the trial has been highly debated and is controversial. We’re talking about the tragic death of Warriena Wright, who fell 14 floors to her death after a tumultuous and violent Tinder date.

This is the story of the abduction and murder of 6-year-old Opal Jennings, and since we are dealing with a child victim in our story please be aware that some of the information provided here will be very unsettling and disturbing. Opal’s story reminded me very much of the Amber Hagerman case that I covered a while back, although Amber’s killer has still to this day never been found. The victimology and the crime itself are very similar.

*This is a Patreon-exclusive from January 2022. Andrea Knable is still missing and her family continues to look for her*

Andrea Knabel is a single mother of two, who worked as a private investigator as a member of Missing in America, a volunteer organization that devoted its time to finding missing adults and children. In a cruel twist of fate, Andrea herself would become a missing person. It has been two years since she seemingly vanished without a trace — are we any closer to finding the truth of it all?

The case of Amber Hilberling is much different than any other I’ve covered on the show. It’s one that is both incredibly tragic and complicated. It will make you question the way that women are perceived by the media, treated in the court of the public and failed behind the walls of female prisons. The name Amber Hilberling first hit headlines when she was accused and convicted of murdering her air-force veteran husband, Josh Hilberling, by pushing him out of a high-rise window. Amber, who was very pregnant with their son at the time, claimed that it was an accident and she had no idea that he would fall backwards out of the window.

Still, she would be convicted of second-degree murder in 2013 and sentenced to serve 25 years behind bars at the Mabel Bassett Correctional Center.

This is the unsolved murder of 10-year-old Holly Piirainen, who would be abducted and murdered during a week-long summer vacation at her grandparent's home in Sturbridge, MA. In August of 1993, she was taken from the small rural community while she was waiting near a neighbour’s home to see the puppies she was promised. Only one of Holly's shoes would be found by the side of a road - but no sign of Holly. There would be a massive search launched to try and find the little girl - and 79 days later, a group of hunters would discover her body left in the woods.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call state police at 413-505-5946 or 1-855-MA-SOLVE (1-855-627-6583), or by texting the word "Solve" to 274637.

This is another one of those true crime cases where if it played out on the big screen, you would think the storyline was far too wild to ever be true. Unfortunately, what 17-year-old Daniel LaPlante did to the pregnant mother of two, Priscilla Gustafson, was very real. It’s unimaginable that a young man at his age could do something so sickening, but Daniel wasn’t new to causing people terrible pain. He had worked his way up to a triple homicide by stalking a young woman, even going as far as to live in the walls of their home. I’m not joking when I say that this is one of the most shocking true crime cases I’ve covered. For obvious reasons, the story of Daniel LaPlante and his crimes comes with a huge trigger warning for sexual assault and the murder of children.

It has been one year since 37-year-old Elnaz Hajtamiri was taken from a home in Wasaga Beach by three armed masked men who were dressed in police gear. She has not been seen or heard from since January 12, 2022, and the police are now offering a $100,000 reward for any information leading to finding Elnaz. Her abduction is made even more by the fact that less than a month prior to this incident, two men had attempted to pull Elnaz into their vehicle. She fought like hell and managed to escape with her life - only to have three men abduct her at gunpoint just weeks later. Once you hear the details of this case, you’ll understand why we need to share it as much as possible, wherever we can. Someone knows something. Elnaz’s family just wants her home.

Samantha (MJ McAdams from Humble Hauntings and Octoberpod) and Calvin (J.T. from Brew Crime Podcast) are moving into their new, very haunted, home. All the items they find in the house still work without batteries or being plugged in. Throughout this journey, presented by Octoberpod, Calvin and Samantha will discover the terrifying secret of the 13th Hour. The revelations will shock you! It's Friday the 13th, the day when anything is possible.You are listening to Rogue Transmissions. Paige, of Reverie True Crime, comes over the airwaves to explain the origins of Friday the 13th. Why are people all over the world so superstitious, and fearful, and consider this day the unluckiest of all? Next up, it's Brew Crime Podcast with J.T. and Mike! They're talking about Sam Patch. A daredevil, who dared a little too much one Friday the 13th, decided to perform his biggest stunt involving a bear, Niagara Falls, and Genesee Falls. Hey! Curious Cat Podcast, hosted by Jennifer, is on now! She's discussing something mysterious and haunting. As of now, 15 feet have washed ashore on the coast of the Salish Sea in British Columbia, Canada and a few in the state of Washington that matched some of the other feet in British Columbia. Thirteen of those feet have been identified. Where are these feet coming from? Who do these feet belong to? Suddenly, Our True Crime Podcast, with hosts Jen and Cam, breaks through the static. They tell us about Samantha and Calvin, the love birds who are moving into this eerie home. Everything is not as it seems and you won't believe what is uncovered. Then, Nikki, of Serial Napper, comes on. The classic horror film, Friday the 13th, may seem unreal but Nikki tells us about a terrifying tragedy that occurred in 1960 in Finland. Four teenagers went camping at Lake Bodom and were slain. This case seems like it is straight out of a horror movie, but unfortunately, these are true events that will make you second guess that summer camping trip. Spine Chillers and Serial Killers, hosted by Emma, Tash, and Becky, switches on. Their first story happened on Friday the 13th in 1972 when Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 was headed to Santiago, Chile. What happened is known as the Andes flight disaster, or the Miracle of the Andes. Then, we are presented with a disturbing occurrence from Friday the 13th in 2012. Brittany Kilgore was murdered during, what she thought, was an S&M session. Lastly, you won't believe what happened on Friday the 13th at 13:13 to a 13-year-old boy in Lowestoft, England. Thank you for listening to Rogue Transmissions. Brought to you by Edward, of Octoberpod AM on all podcast platforms and Octoberpod Home Video on YouTube, and J.T. of the Brew Crime Podcast, Crime Trials, Active Shooter, and more!Support the showFollow me here: ► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/
