New court developments have emerged in the case of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who died during a family cruise in November 2025.

In this update, I walk through what has been publicly reported about a recent sealed federal court appearance involving Anna’s stepbrother, what is known and not yet known about the legal process due to the defendant’s age, and how juvenile and potential adult charges typically work in the federal system. I also discuss reported custody court information and conflicting family accounts about how close the two were.

Because this case involves a minor and sealed proceedings, many details have not been made public. This episode focuses only on confirmed reporting and clearly identified court filings, without speculation.

If you’re new to this case, I recommend listening to my original full episode on Anna Kepner first, which covers the cruise timeline and investigation in detail. It’s available now.

Thank you for continuing to care about these stories and the people at the center of them. 💜

On the morning of June 7, 1992, three women vanished from a home in Springfield, Missouri without signs of forced entry, without a struggle, and without any clear explanation.

Sherrill Levitt, her daughter Suzie Streeter, and Suzie’s friend Stacy McCall were last known to be inside the house just hours earlier. More than 30 years later, the case remains unsolved. While many theories exist, no one has ever been charged in connection with the disappearance of Sherrill, Suzie, or Stacy - The Springfield Three.

In this episode, we take a careful, in-depth look at what happened before and after that night including the timeline, early investigation, witness reports, known persons of interest, and the theories that have shaped the case over the decades. We also examine where the investigation stands today, and why this case continues to raise more questions than answers.

18-year-old Anna Kepner boarded the Carnival Horizon with her family for a Caribbean cruise. It was supposed to be a week of fun, memories, and time together. But on the morning of November 7th, an unexpected announcement went out over the ship’s PA system… a crew member made a tragic discovery in the cabin Anna shared with her stepbrother.

In today’s episode, we walk through who Anna was, the timeline of events on November 6th and 7th, the details currently known about the investigation, and the autopsy findings that ruled her death a homicide. This is an ongoing FBI case, and no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly named. 

I will be watching out for updates on this case, so be sure to follow the podcast so you don’t miss anything.

A 7-year-old boy walked into school for the science fair — and was never seen again.

On June 4, 2010, second-grader Kyron Horman disappeared from Skyline Elementary School in Portland, Oregon. Despite one of the largest search efforts in state history, no trace of him has ever been found.

This case has remained unsolved for nearly fifteen years, and with so many conflicting narratives, it can be difficult to separate fact from speculation. My goal is to present verified information, context, and a respectful, balanced look at the events surrounding Kyron’s disappearance.

Thank you for watching and for caring about Kyron’s story.

Authorities have confirmed that Christopher Scholtes, the Arizona father who pleaded guilty to the 2024 murder of his 2-year-old daughter, Parker, was found dead early Wednesday morning in Phoenix. His death is being investigated as self-inflicted.

Christopher was scheduled to appear in court today to turn himself in and begin serving a 20-30 year sentence. Just one day earlier, his oldest daughter filed a civil lawsuit against him and his wife, Erika Scholtes, alleging emotional distress and other claims.

This is a tragic and complicated development in a case that has deeply affected so many people. Out of respect for all involved, I won’t be speculating on the circumstances until more information is officially released.

Thank you for listening and for caring about stories like Parker’s. Her life mattered, and her voice still deserves to be heard.

The group home Emily Pike ran away from has finally responded to the lawsuit filed by her father, and their defense is raising serious questions.

In this update, we’ll break down how Sacred Journey is shifting blame in their official court filing, pointing fingers at Emily, her parents, tribal authorities, and even the facility that previously discharged her, while denying any fault of their own.

Emily was a 14-year-old Indigenous girl who ran away from her group home in Mesa, Arizona, in January 2025. Her dismembered body was found two weeks later, nearly 100 miles away. No arrests have been made. Her case remains unsolved.

The full case breakdown and updates are available now.

Thank you for listening and for caring about Emily’s story. Her life mattered, and her voice still deserves to be heard.
