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/

Kathleen Kolbigg is either a grieving mother who tragically and unusually lost four of her babies - or she’s Australia’s worst female serial killer. It really depends on who you ask. Kathleen - who goes by Kathy - would lose four of her young children tragically between the years 1989 and 1999. Babies Caleb, Patrick, Sarah and Laura were between the ages of 19 days old and 19 months old when they died. Initially, it was believed that sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) was the cause of death in at least two of the children, however, after 19-month-old Laura suddenly passed away after a nap, investigators began to take a closer look.

Kaitlin Armstrong is an example of a woman who committed an unlikely murder. She would murder professional cyclist, Anna Moriah Wilson, who went by Moriah or “Mo”, after discovering her boyfriend, pro cyclist Colin Strickland, was continuing to see her behind her back.

Her jealousy had been building over the last several months, with Kaitlin attempting to block any communication between her boyfriend and Mor. On this evening, May 11, 2022, she would follow the pair around as they enjoyed a night out together, following Mo right back to the place she was staying to compete in a race. She would murder Mo in cold blood, before fleeing the country for 43 days and attempting to change her entire identity through plastic surgery.

Kimberly was a beautiful 18-year-old young woman from Langford, British Columbia, who was taken from this world in one of the cruellest ways by two very troubled teenage boys from school. The things that they did to her - are incomprehensible, and it’s difficult to imagine a human being capable of such a thing, let alone two boys who were so young.

Kim believed them to be her friends, but after agreeing to meet up, they would sexually assault her, kill her and set her body on fire in a wooded area. When Kim’s burned body would be discovered by a passerby, the two teens began to panic. But not enough to keep quiet, as one of them confessed to the entire thing to his online girlfriend in the game, World of Warcraft. There were a lot of red flags before Kim was killed that these two boys were capable of becoming absolute monsters - but they mostly went ignored. This is another cautionary story to parents to monitor what their kids are doing online - because this sadistic plan to kill this young girl just to see how it felt, was all detailed in online chats ahead of time and could have been prevented.

The story of Joshua Maddux’s death is nothing short of bizarre. He is often referred to as “the boy in the chimney” due to the circumstances of his passing. 18-year-old Josh would go missing from his home in 2008 after saying he was going for a walk. Seven years would pass and there would be no sightings of Joshua and no real indication of what may have happened to him.

Then, a horrific discovery would be made when the owner of a nearby cabin smelled something foul coming from his chimney. Joshua’s body would be discovered wearing only a shirt, with the rest of his clothing found neatly folded in another area of the cabin. Investigators had no idea how he had gotten into the chimney - if he had climbed in by his own free will, was forced in or thrown in later. His death was ruled an accident. But there are several factors, including a strange Reddit post, that would lead many to believe Joshua’s death was a murder. To this day, there is no clear indication of how Joshua died in the chimney of that cabin.
