  • The Voice on the Phone Line

    In the dead of a Kansas winter, the Duffield family believed they were safe behind locked doors. By sunrise, their world had been torn apart.

    An intruder moved through the house like a ghost — leaving one child dead, another critically injured, and seventeen-year-old Kelly Duffield missing without a trace. But the most disturbing discovery wasn’t found at the crime scene. It was hidden in the days leading up to the attack: strange phone calls, calculated manipulation, and the unmistakable signs of a predator preparing long before he ever stepped inside the home.

    This episode of Terrified explores the chilling psychology of a killer who hunted through conversation first — using patience, control, and deception to get dangerously close before violence erupted. Because sometimes the scariest part isn’t the knock at the door… it’s the voice already on the line.

  • Buried Truth: The Félix Michaud Case

    In 1992, Félix Michaud is arrested for the brutal murder of 72-year-old Rose Gagné. With no physical evidence tying him to the crime, the case hinges entirely on the testimony of one man—a drug addict named Marco Albert.

    What follows is a long fight through the courts, exposing cracks in the justice system and raising a haunting question—how many others are still locked away for crimes they didn’t commit?

    This episode of Terrified dives into a case where the truth wasn’t just hidden… it was buried.

    Behind his small stature was a man driven by violence, manipulation, and a need for control. But what makes this case even more haunting are his own words—his chilling confessions, where he casually recounts torture, murder, and what he called his “coastal kills.”

    How did a troubled upbringing evolve into a decades-long killing spree? And how did he evade justice for so long in the shadows of rural America?

    This episode explores the psychology of a predator who hid in plain sight, the victims whose stories deserve to be remembered, and the terrifying reality that sometimes the worst monsters don’t look the part.
