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.

In 2013, 19-year-old college student Bryce Laspisa vanished after a series of strange phone calls and a car crash near Castaic Lake, California. His car was found overturned, his belongings were still inside… but Bryce was gone.

More than a decade later, there are still no clear answers, only theories. Did Bryce plan to disappear? Was he in crisis? Or did something far darker happen after that crash?

In this episode, we examine the evidence, his final phone calls, and the timeline that left investigators, and his parents, with more questions than answers.

🚨If you have information about Bryce’s disappearance, contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at (323) 890-5500 or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.

On October 9, 2025, Klein Investigations and Consulting, the team hired by Thomas Brown’s mother, released a new forensic anthropology report from Thomas’s second autopsy.

The report, completed earlier this year by Texas Tech University’s Forensic Anthropology Laboratory, was originally sealed. However, after a redacted version was reportedly leaked online, Klein Investigations published the full unredacted version, stating that it confirms homicide rather than self-inflicted death.

In this video, we’ll go over what’s in the new report, what Klein’s statement says, and what this could mean for the ongoing investigation into Thomas’s death.

Thomas’s case remains officially unsolved.

The full episodes on Thomas’s case are available now.
