DESCRIPTION:
Bryan Patrick Miller was a local celebrity in Phoenix, Arizona. He dressed as the "Zombie Hunter"—a costumed character with a helmet, goggles, a fake Gatling gun, and a decommissioned police car spattered with fake blood. He posed for photos with fans at comic conventions, and even law enforcement officers lined up to take pictures with him. But behind the costume was a predator.
Between 1992 and 1993, Miller kidnapped, stabbed, sexually assaulted, and decapitated two young women along the Arizona Canal. Angela Brosso, 21, was riding her bike the night before her birthday when she was attacked. Her headless body was found in a field; her head was discovered eleven days later, stuck in a canal grate. Melanie Bernas, 17, was killed ten months later, her body found floating in the same canal.
The case went cold for over two decades. DNA evidence finally linked Miller to the murders in 2015. His defense argued he was insane, blaming his mother for creating a monster. The judge didn't buy it. In 2023, Bryan Patrick Miller was sentenced to death. This is the story of the Zombie Hunter. Listen if you dare.

Two stories of families torn apart by tragedy and fighting for answers. Crosley Green has spent over 35 years in a Florida prison for a 1989 murder he says he did not commit. He was sentenced to death, spent 19 years on death row, was released for two years when a federal judge overturned his conviction, and then sent back to prison when the state won its appeal. In August 2026, the parole board denied his immediate release and moved his eligibility date to 2049, when he will be 91 years old.
In a separate case, Tanya Zuvers has waited more than 14 years for her three sons to come home. Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton disappeared during a Thanksgiving visit with their father in 2010. A judge declared them legally dead in 2025 at their mother's request, but stopped short of finding their father responsible. He has never been charged with their murders and is set to be released from prison in 2025 after serving time only for unlawful imprisonment. The boys have never been found. Listen if you dare.

Doug "Chef Doug" Calhoun was a beloved former Marine and private chef in Detroit. He never showed up to a wedding he was supposed to cater, and his family's search lasted 37 days before his body was found stuffed in a trash can at an abandoned home. The man who killed him was a human trafficker who had been selling his 16-year-old girlfriend on Backpage. When Calhoun met her for a sexual encounter, an argument over a condom escalated into a fatal shooting. Baskerville was sentenced to 120 to 200 years in prison. This is the story of a beloved chef's fatal Backpage encounter—and the trafficking operation behind it. Listen if you dare.

A woman stranded on the highway accepts help from a truck driver, but the ride turns into a fight for her life. Roy Nellsch, a long-haul trucker, allegedly kidnapped Abbey Pimentel at gunpoint, handcuffed her, and told her he would rape her and keep her for days. She fought back, escaped, and ran for help. When investigators searched his truck, they found handcuffs, rope, guns, knives, bayonets, and a bag of bloodstained women's underwear. A 49-page ledger detailed notes on dozens of women and children. The lead detective believed he was a serial killer. Nellsch died in prison before he could stand trial for murder. This is the story of a woman who fought back—and the predator who turned the interstate into a hunting ground.

DESCRIPTION:
In January 2022, police entered a home in Slaughter, Louisiana, and found a scene that would haunt veteran investigators for years. Thirty-six-year-old Lacey Fletcher was found dead on the living room couch—semi-naked, sitting upright, and fused into a crater worn through the upholstery and cushion. She weighed just 96 pounds. Her body was covered in urine, liquid feces, maggots, and severe ulcers. The coroner said she had been sitting in the same position for at least twelve years. Her parents, Clay and Sheila Fletcher, were well-known in the community—church-going, friendly, and respected. They claimed Lacey had severe autism and social anxiety and simply refused to leave the couch. They said they brought her meals and cleaned her sores. But medical records showed Lacey had not seen a doctor since 2002, when she was sixteen. In 2010, her parents visited a psychologist without her, asking for advice, and were told to hospitalize her. They never did. The coroner ruled her death a homicide caused by severe chronic neglect. Her parents were charged with second-degree murder, later reduced to manslaughter, and pleaded no contest in 2024. Lacey's teacher remembered her as a smiling girl with beautiful blue eyes who loved volleyball. She disappeared from public view at sixteen. She was never seen by anyone outside her parents again. Listen if you dare.

Never-before-seen surveillance footage reveals the final moments of PnB Rock's life. The rapper, born Rakim Allen, walked into a Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles in South Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang, on September 12, 2022. What he didn't know was that a man inside the restaurant had already spotted his jewelry—and made a call. Within 40 minutes, a 17-year-old gunman in a ski mask walked through the door, demanded the rapper's chain, and fired three shots in seconds. PnB Rock never had a chance to hand over the jewelry. He was shot immediately and died at a hospital. The footage debunks the theory that his girlfriend's Instagram post led the killers to him. The setup began before she posted. This is the story of a public execution caught on tape.

DESCRIPTION:
A grandmother whose first grandchild died under her supervision is now standing trial for the death of a second. Tracey Nix, 65, was supposed to drop her 7-month-old granddaughter Uriel at daycare but drove straight home instead, leaving the baby in the car for hours. By the time she was found, it was too late. Prosecutors argue this wasn't just a tragic mistake—it was criminal negligence. The defense says it was a devastating accident by a grieving woman. This is the story of a family destroyed twice by the same deadly distraction. Listen if you dare.

DESCRIPTION:
Ana Walshe was a successful real estate executive and devoted mother of three. On New Year's Day 2023, she vanished from her Massachusetts home. Her husband, Brian Walshe, told police she left for a work emergency in Washington, D.C. But witnesses testified there was no record of her booking a ride or boarding a flight. He didn't contact her employer until January 4.
What investigators found was chilling: Google searches beginning at 4:55 AM on January 1 for "how long before a body starts to smell" and "dismemberment and best ways to dispose of a body." Surveillance footage showed him buying a hacksaw, hatchet, mops, buckets, and a Tyvek suit—all paid for in cash. A trash bag recovered from a transfer station contained blood-soaked carpet, human hair, and a piece of Gucci jewelry Ana owned. Brian Walshe pleaded guilty to dismembering her body and misleading police, but insists he didn't kill her. He claims he woke up, found Ana dead from an unexplained medical event, panicked, and tried to "protect his children." Prosecutors say the evidence tells a different story. Her body has never been found. Listen if you dare.
