When Ronald Klungness arrived home that March evening after work, he found it strange that the door was unlocked, and the television was still on. This was strange because Ronald's wife of 15 years Susan's Toyota was gone. Ronald assumed that maybe Susan and the couple's 14-year-old son Jeffery had just left for the day and would return later.

What Ronald had missed however was the trail of blood that led from the living room to the couple's bedroom. 

it was there in the bedroom that hours later Ron would find Susan, dead from a blow to the head.

What happened that March Day in 1996 also led a trail, a trail of unanswered questions and suspicion of who was responsible for the death of Susan Klungness and the disappearance of the couple's son Jeffery.

If you have any information on the murder of Susan Klungness or the disappearance of Jeffery Allen Klungness please contact the Tacoma Police Department at: 253-591-5959

Dr. Margaret Mary Kilcoyne was certain she had recently made a medical discovery that was going to win her a Nobel prize. But even before Margaret could begin to celebrate, she would vanish. Margaret's brother Leo would claim that Margaret had been under a bunch of stress, but if she had her colleagues hadn't really noticed- stating her odd behavior in the days before she went missing as just Margaret being Margaret.

Did Margaret Kilcoyne have a mental breakdown and take her own life? Did she simply walk away from her current life and start over somewhere else? Or could she have been a victim of foul play?

It's a case that has left those in the small Nantucket town without any answers but with a whole bunch of theories.

What happened to Margaret Kilcoyne?

A locked room, a strange phone call, a brutal murder.

Today we are going to cover one of the most notable cases in true crime history. A case that has baffled detectives and web sleuths alike for well over 90 years and that has also been labeled as the impossible murder- and just when you think you know the answer- you realize that you might not know anything at all.

Today we are talking about the murder of Julia Wallace.

It's 10:45 pm on the night of December 15, 1980, when Paul Woods sees it. Two men are rushing towards the black pick-up truck sitting idly at the stoplight. One rushes to the passenger side while the other pushes his way into the driver's side. The woman inside begins to scream in fear- but it is too late. They disappear into the night before anyone can do anything.

The following morning at around 5 am in the 1100 block of Bromont Ave, local fire departments respond to a truck that has been set on fire, the only thing inside the truck is a nurse's uniform.

It's when friends and co-workers of Melanie Uribe start to piece together that something has gone terribly wrong for their friend- a 31-year-old single mother and nurse who never showed up for work the night before.

Miles away, a 32-year-old woman who has never met Melanie cannot shake the feeling that she knows what happened to the now missing woman after having a vision of her whereabouts, and despite having no proof, or any ties to her she sets on a mission to find her- knowing for too well that the story she has is going to tell will make her sound completely nuts.

Laureen Rahn convinced her mom Judith to go to the tennis game without her- it was the first day of the 14-year old's spring break and she was old enough to stay home alone. She would spend her day being visited by family members, seen restocking wine coolers at the nearby convince store, and hanging with a male and female friend drinking a few beers that night.

By the time Laureen's mother Judith returned home however, Laureen would be gone, leaving everything she owned behind. But Laureen wouldn't be gone without a trace- exactly- there would be mysterious phone calls made to Judith in the middle of the night- and reported sightings. At first authorities would believe that Judith was a runaway- maybe running off to sunny CA in order to start a career in Hollywood. 

But even they would start to change their minds beginning to suspect that maybe something more sinister actually happened to the teen.

You are going to want to buckle up for today's story. Not only is it creepy but it is also completely baffling and might make you want to yell what really happened to Laureen Rahn?!!

When 16-year-old Owensboro Kentucky teen Shannon Green goes missing police are quick to suspect an ex-convict who also just happened to be a family friend. Suspicion runs even higher when Shannon's 18-year-old friend, a man named David Dewayne Bell also goes missing just five days later.

The ex-convict, a man named John Reneer looks like the obvious suspect for the missing teens- but, 20 years later, John Reneer provides police with something that might just prove his innocence and prove that David Dewayne Bell might not have been innocent at all.
