Trigger Warning

Trigger Warnings - Missing person, mention of suicide, conspiracy theories regarding secret societies, discussion of mental health conditions, descriptions of injuries

When Rey Rivera goes missing one evening out of the blue, his wife and family jump into action, hoping to find him quickly. They have a million questions but when his body is discovered eight days later, there are no easy answers. Rey's death becomes a battleground on the internet; did he commit suicide? discover something that got him killed at work? or get involved with a secret society that led to his murder?

The Ghost by Martin Puehringer

https://artlist.io/royalty-free-music/song/the-ghost/5331

Trigger Warnings: very brief mentions of child marriage. Otherwise, gun violence in the early 1900's.

Movie moments shouldn't lead to a massacre but that's what we have here. A rom-com-esque moment at a dance leads to a bloody mess at the Carroll County Courthouse in Virginia when a prominent family feels like they can get away with anything.

In 1980, Sharon Komlos has a job she loves, a happy marriage, and three children she adores in their new home in Boca Raton, Florida. She's feeling blessed and looking to the future when a sudden, random event changes everything for her in an instant.

But Sharon isn't just another pretty face. She's got an inner strength and determination that, along with the support of her loved ones, will help her face a future that turns out quite a bit different than she had imagined.

Tigger Warnings: Fire, death, death of families - including children, death of animals, environmental destruction

In 1871, on the same night as The Great Chicago Fire, another fire raged through a small town in Wisconsin. Though it wiped out a town and killed more people, it's not known to the general population. The hell that was suffered by the residents of Peshtigo that night deserves to be remembered.

Welcome to the second season of Trigger Warning as Diz takes us back to the night of the Peshtigo Fire.

Trigger Warnings - Death, Dismemberment, Domestic Abuse, Death of a child

It started way back in 1993 but the full extent of the terrible crimes didn't come to light until much later. Young women, murdered, and their bodies discarded in various areas in and around Long Island. They were preyed on by a monster who thought no one would care... but people did care and they still do. That's why thirty years later, the monster is being put in its cage.

LAST EPISODE OF SEASON 1! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND WE'LL BE BACK ON JUNE 4TH FOR THE BEGINNING OF SEASON 2!!

Trigger Warnings: murder of parents, brief mention of arson, brief mention of mental health issues, brief mention of missing person

When ex-NFL star Antonio Armstrong Sr. and his wife, Dawn, are murdered in their own bedroom, the police and local district attorneys are sure they know who did it. But it takes three trials before they can get a conviction. As sure as the prosecution is about the suspect's guilt, the family of the victims are just as sure the suspect didn't do it. Listen to both sides of the story and tell us what you think.
