Episode 114 Tracy McClelland 36 Year-old Mother of three, Tracy McClelland vanished in Fenruary, 2007 in Tampa, Florida. When she didn't show up at the hospital for the birth of her nephew, her family feared something was wrong. In March, 2007, workers found the body of a woman, clad only in a denim skirt, buried in a shallow grave at their job site. Since there was no ID found with the body and due to decomposition, Detectives had to ID using serial numbers from her breast implants, and prints from her finger tips. The dead woman turned out to be Tracy McClelland. Police were tight lipped about the cause of death, stating only that there was upper body trauma and that the case was a homicide. Police had their work cut out for them trying to figure out who killed Tracy, and why. Tracy, once a possible student with dreams of becoming a teacher, had lost her way following the suicide of her brother. Devastated by the loss, Tracy sank into depression, and drug use, and alternated between living on the streets and crashing at friend's homes. 15 years later, her case remains unsolved. In this episode, Tracy's niece Malia discusses her aunt’s tragic death, the circumstances that led to it, and her family's effort to find justice for Tracy.

Wondery Presents The Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley On May 4, 2001, Bonny Lee Bakley was found fatally shot in a car on a dark North Hollywood street. The prime suspect was her husband, famed actor Robert Blake. But Bonny, a longtime con artist, had plenty of enemies. She left behind a trail of men she’d scammed, and she had a volatile relationship with Christian Brando, the troubled son of movie star Marlon Brando. Not since the O.J. Simpson case had the eyes of the nation been so fixated on a homicide. The search for Bonny’s killer took detectives on an eleven-month odyssey across the country and through Hollywood's underbelly of hustlers, drug addicts, and would-be hitmen. It would be the most expensive murder investigation in LAPD history to date. This is the story of Robert and Bonny’s toxic relationship, her shocking murder, and his chaotic trial. Did actor Robert Blake kill his wife? Or was the murder someone else's vendetta? From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime (The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet) comes a six-part series about love, obsession and fame gone wrong. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.

Episode 111 Douglas 'Doug' McMillin On March 8th, 2009, just a couple days shy of his 20th birthday, Douglas 'Doug' McMillin was shot dead by intruders in his Allouez, Wisconsin home. Doug was shot in front of friends and witnesses as he tried to resist the intruders. The killers fled into the night and years later, the case remains unsolved. The investigation was hampered early on due to witnesses not fully cooperating, and police had to consider that the motivation for the home invasion and murder, was due to drugs and money being kept in the home. Doug admittedly dealt drugs which may have put him in harm's way. But who Doug was as a person can't be simply boiled down to 'Drug-Dealer'. He was much more. He was a kind, well-liked person with an artistic side, and a view of the world that was perhaps beyond his years. He was the type of person that made an impression with his younger brother James describing him as a "super nova" that he looked up to. His cold blooded murder devastated his family, and for the better part of a decade, James, has felt guilt that perhaps he introduced the killers to Doug. James discusses that in this episode, as well as what he feels are shortcomings in the handling of Doug's case If you have any information about Doug McMillin’s murder you are asked to call Sergeant Holschbach at 920-448-6187. Or you can call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 920-432-STOPPERS (920-432-7867).
