This week on Super SUS, we cover the case of Michael and Lori Shaver, middle school sweethearts from upstate New York who built a life together in Clermont, Florida. Michael worked for Disney's monorail. Lori worked from home. From the outside, it looked like the dream.

By 2015, the marriage was falling apart. Michael was last physically seen in November 2015, and then things got strange. He became a no-call/no-show at Disney, sent bizarre "I quit" messages, and popped up online just often enough to keep the questions at bay. Lori said he'd walked out on the family and moved on.

It took until 2018 for someone to look closer. What deputies found changed everything.

This week on Super SUS, we cover the attempted murder of Greg Mulvihill, and the genuinely unbelievable piece of evidence that cracked it open.

Greg and Diana Lovejoy were a San Diego tech couple, married in 2007. They'd been through a lot together before having a son in 2012. From there things started to fall apart, and by 2014 they'd separated.

On September 1, 2016, a phone call lured Greg to a dark trail after dark. What happened next, and how investigators pieced it together, is a story you have to hear to believe.

This week on Super SUS, we cover the disappearance of 39-year-old Maya Millete. On January 7, 2021, a security camera caught her walking into her home in Chula Vista, California. No camera ever caught her coming out. She hasn't been seen since.

Maya was a contract specialist at the Naval Information Warfare Center and a mother of three. That same day, she'd called a divorce law office to set up a consultation. The people closest to her say she'd been afraid for a while, and she'd told them as much. What she said about her own safety before she vanished is hard to shake.

The case took some turns that almost nobody saw coming. We get into all of it.

This one stays with you.

We're back with part two, and this is where the "accident" story starts to fall apart.

We pick up right after the July 31, 2022 crash in Strongsville, Ohio that killed Dominic "Dom" Russo and Davion Flanagan, and we walk through how this case went from a tragic wreck to murder charges. The turning point is the evidence, and trust us, there's a lot of it.

We dig into what the car itself revealed, what investigators pieced together from the days leading up to the crash, and a hospital recording that had everyone talking. Then we get into the trial, the verdict, the sentence, and the defense that tried to explain it all away.

We also talk through the Netflix documentary, her continued claims of innocence, and where the two of us land on intent and punishment, because we don't see this one exactly the same way.

That's a wrap on "Hell on Wheels." Thank you for sticking with us through both parts.

This week we're diving into part one of the Mackenzie Shirilla case, and trust us, this one has layers.

It all starts in the early morning hours of July 31, 2022, in Strongsville, Ohio. At 5:35 a.m., 17-year-old Mackenzie drove her 2018 Toyota Camry straight into a brick building going over 100 mph. The crash killed her boyfriend, 20-year-old Dominic "Dom" Russo, and his friend, 19-year-old Davion Flanagan, who made the last-minute decision to hop in the car that night.

We get into who these young men were: Dom and his close-knit Italian-American family, and Davion, his adoption, his athletics, and his dream of becoming a barber. From there we start pulling at the threads of Mackenzie and Dom's relationship, and let's just say the deeper we go, the more questions come up.

Investigators had their own theory about what really happened that morning, and the evidence they uncovered is a lot. But we're not getting ahead of ourselves just yet.

Part two is where it all comes together, so stay tuned.

A note on Davion: his family started the Davion Flanagan Memorial Fund, a 501c3 nonprofit, to help others chase the dream he never got to, attending barber school. Davion shared a dream of eventually owning his own barber shop, and the family felt compelled to make something good happen out of such a senseless tragedy.

In this episode of Super SUS, we wrap up the Whitaker family case with part two - picking up after Bart vanishes and tracing the years-long hunt to find him.

In this episode of Super SUS, we wrap up the Whitaker family case with part two - picking up after Bart vanishes and tracing the years-long hunt to find him.

He built a new life under a new name, in a new country, with a story for everything. It wasn't enough.

The trial, the verdict, and what happened in 2018 minutes before a scheduled execution make for one of the most remarkable endings we've covered. And Kent Whitaker - the man Bart tried to have killed - plays a role you won't see coming.

In this episode of Super SUS, we cover part one of the Whitaker family case - a home invasion in Sugar Land, Texas on December 10, 2003 that was supposed to look like a burglary gone wrong.

The night started as a celebration. By the time the family pulled back into their driveway, someone was waiting for them inside the house.

Two people were killed. Two survived. And the crime scene didn't add up from the jump.

This is part one - we're laying the foundation before everything unravels in part two. You're going to want to have this one under your belt first.

When you mix paranormal investigations with domestic violence, the results can be devastating - and in these two cases, the connections to one of cable TV's biggest ghost hunting shows make the stories even harder to look away from.

This week, we're covering two separate cases tied to the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures - and both of them go in directions we genuinely did not see coming.

First, we get into the story of Mark and Debbie Constantino, a Reno-based couple who built a following in the paranormal community as EVP analysts and appeared on the show multiple times. Behind the scenes, a very different story was unfolding - one that escalated for years before it came to a horrifying end in September 2015.

Then, we cover a case involving Ghost Adventures investigator Aaron Goodwin - and the wife who was apparently making some very dangerous plans while he was off chasing ghosts. This one involves a convicted triple murderer, a contraband prison phone, and a scheme that is hard to believe actually happened.

Two cases. One show. And a reminder that sometimes the scariest things aren't on camera.

In this episode of Super SUS, we cover the murders of Sheri Coleman and her sons, Garett and Gavin - a family living in the quiet St. Louis suburb of Columbia, Illinois.

Chris Coleman had what looked like the perfect life: a beautiful family, a prestigious job heading security for televangelist Joyce Meyer, and a home in one of the safest neighborhoods around. Then, starting in late 2008, threatening letters and emails began arriving - warnings that his family would be killed if he didn't comply with certain demands.

On the morning of May 5, 2009, those threats became a reality. Sheri and both boys were found strangled in their beds. Red spray-painted messages covered the walls.

But the more investigators dug, the more the story stopped making sense - and not in the way Chris Coleman wanted it to.

The evidence in this case is staggering. The timeline is damning. And the picture that emerges of who Chris Coleman really was will make your jaw drop.

In this episode of Super SUS, we cover the case of Tyler Smith — a 23-year-old Army National Guardsman who was found face down in a drainage canal in Galesburg, Illinois in September 2018, just weeks before he was set to begin his dream career as a police officer.

Galesburg PD closed the case within 24 hours. His family never bought it. And the deeper you go, the harder it is to understand how anyone did.

This one has details that will genuinely floor you and a family that has spent seven years refusing to let their son be forgotten.

If you have any information about Tyler's death, please contact Illinois State Police Zone 2 Investigations at 815-632-4010, ext. 230. A $100,000 reward is available for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
