Strange & Unexplained

Ida was frozen with fear when the man first spoke and it was as if she was underwater, seeing his mouth move and just fuzzy sounds coming out, Ida had been too distracted to pay attention to what the man was saying, her eyes were locked on the .22 caliber pistol he carried in his hand.

The man spoke again this time louder and a little more irritated,

“I said come on. Can't you hear, don’t try to run, and for god sake don’t scream. Come with me now. NOW!”

November 6, 2011 Julia wakes around 8am  to find Sky not feeling well. So she gets Sky and his sister dressed, grabs only her keys, leaving her phone, wallet and purse at the apartment, she leaves for the hospital which is  just a few miles down the road. She takes a very desolate road, it's on that road Julia claims her car ran out of gas.

So Julia gets her 4 year old daughter out of the car, secures Sky in his car seat, shuts the door and walks about a mile to the nearest gas station. She left Sky in his car seat in the car, and left to go get gas. It takes her an hour to make the one mile walk. When she gets to the gas station she calls a friend who lives nearby and asks if she can come pick her up. They make it back to Julia’s car only to find Sky’s car seat empty, and Sky nowhere to be found.

South Chicago has long been considered as the birthplace of American serial killers, and with names like H.H. Holmes and John Wayne Gacey, and Richard Speck, ringing in the air it's easy to see why. Since January of 2001 there have been 51 unsolved and oddly similar homicides in the south and west Chicago areas involving mostly black women who work mainly in the sex industry.

When you do a quick google search of 6 year old Harriet Riley and her 31 year old father, Harold Riley, very little comes up. A handful of articles that tell the sad story of how a recently discharged air force vet was killed in his kitchen in the middle of the night and how 4 years later his daughter ends up dead too. Just a handful of articles, and she is only a footnote on a few, with cold and even heartless retellings of her tragic and all too short life, and with no resolve or even a lead.

Selena Not Afraid was a 16 year old girl who was a member of both the Crow and Dakota tribes, she lived in Big Horn County Montana with her parents and 4 siblings. Selena Not Afraid went missing from a rest area off of interstate 90, between Billings and Hardin, a distance of about 50 miles between the two towns and literally nothing else. This area of Montana is incredibly rural, with the rest stop being one of only a handful of locations between the two stops, Selena was last seen there, but why was she there? Why did her ride leave her? How did she end up where she was found? And WHO is responsible?

***WARNING*** THIS EPISODE INVOLVES VIOLENCE TOWARDS CHILDREN, LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

 

Pervis Payne is a 53-year-old black man, with an intellectual disability, sitting on death row in Shelby Tennessee, for the 1987 murder of a mother and her 2 children. His execution has been stayed many times, and he is now attempting to present to the court proof of his mental handicap, but on April 9, 2021, a new date will be set, for him to be put to death.

Many people have come to Payne's aid claiming...

 

1) There is evidence to prove his innocence,

 

2)It's unconstitutional to give a death sentence to someone with an intellectual disability, and

 

3) That DNA of an unknown male was found but never tested.

Is Pervis Payne a vicious murderer who deserves to be put to death? Or was he a bystander wrongfully accused and now paying the price, for someone else's actions?

Grover 'Bud' Lee Cecil Jr. had only been the store manager for about 8 months now but he knew this same closing routine like the back of his hand. Wait for all customers to leave the store, clean, and prepare for the next day, then count the money, empty the trash and it's home free.  But tonight was a little different, at the end of the night it wasn't just like usual, a cleaning crew was also waiting on the store to clear, as the old Be-Lo store was finally having the floors redone, but there was something else in the store that no one was aware of.

We rejoin our group 11,500 ft above sea level, in the subzero temperatures of the Andes, on the border of Argentina and Chile. Though they may not have been in the literal circles of hell, there is not much that feels closer to being there than what these people went through on that first night...and it wasn't over...
