On the morning of March 19, 2009, a chef in York, England left her home for work before dawn. She never arrived. Her phone stayed on for hours after she vanished before it was deliberately turned off.  Now 17 years later, no one has been charged.

For most of 2025, Arkansas woman Charity Beallis had been going through a contentious divorce and custody battle with her estranged husband, Dr Randall Beallis.  They had been fighting over custody of their 6-year old twins. 

On December 2, 2025, a judge decided that Charity and Randall should have joint custody of the children.  Charity was ordered to hand the children over to Randall on December 5. 

On December 3, a welfare check was called in after Charity was unable to be contacted.  When authorities entered her home, they found her and the twins dead.

Due to the tumultuous nature of the divorce proceedings, there were many questions as to how the mother and children died.

In March 2026, authorities released autopsy results. Charity took the lives of the twins before taking her own life.

Folie à deux is a French term that means ‘madness of two’. It can also refer to a shared psychosis or a shared delusional disorder.

In 2008, identical twins Ursula and Sabina Eriksson were acting erratically.  They had traveled to England from Sabina’s home in Ireland.  The sisters were asked to leave a bus that they had been traveling on as they were acting paranoid and would not let the driver search their belongings.  After they got off the bus, the sisters ran into oncoming traffic on a motorway.

Ursula would be hospitalized for months, while Sabina was released soon after the event.  Sabina would wander the streets of Stoke on Trent in England, looking for her sister.  A man named Glenn Hollinshead took pity on Sabina and took her in.  Sabina would end up killing Glenn by stabbing him five times with a kitchen knife.  Neither sister has given any reason for their actions.

We also discuss the strange case of the Tromp Family.  In 2016, Mark and Jacoba Tromp fled their home in Silvan, Australia, along with their three adult children Ella, Mitchell and Riana.  The family were convinced that people were after them and that they were being tracked by their devices.  

One investigating police officer described this case as "the most bizarre case I've seen in 30 years".

The family would all eventually be recovered safely, following a large-scale police investigation.  Mitchell Tromp would later say 'I've never seen anything like it. It's really hard to explain or put a word on it but they were just fearing for their lives and then they decided to flee. It was a build-up of different, normal, everyday events - just pressure - and it slowly got worse as the days went by."

On January 31, 2026, Arizona woman Nancy Guthrie (84) went to dinner with some family members.  They reportedly dropped her back to her home in Tucson at around 9.50pm. 

At 1.47am on February 1, Nancy’s doorbell camera was disconnected.  At 2.28am, Nancy’s pacemaker stopped connecting to her phone and Apple watch.

Nancy’s family were alerted in the morning on February 1 when she did not attend a church service as planned.  They went to her home and found no trace of her, so 911 was called.

As of the time of recording, Nancy remains missing.  We covered days 1-9 of her case in our first podcast episode for her.

In late January 2025, Canadian man Liam Toman traveled with two friends to the ski resort of Mont-Tremblant, Quebec.

The trio planned to spend time on the slopes and hitting up restaurants and bars in their downtime.

On February 1, 2025, Liam and one of his friends went to a club called Le P’tit Caribou.   They got separated in the busyness of the venue.

Liam’s friend left the club shortly before closing time.  He was unable to get hold of Liam so he left without him.  Liam left when Le P’tit Caribou closed at around 3am on February 2.  He was seen on CCTV walking back to his hotel.  The last sighting of Liam was at 3.20am by two seasonal workers and he was near his hotel.  He did not enter the accommodation and has never been seen again.

Despite an extensive search for Liam, no trace of him was found.  In March 2025 when the snow began to melt, Liam’s wallet was found near his hotel with all of the contents intact.

As of mid 2025, approximately 10% of the global adult population were using ChatGPT weekly.  

Users send over 18 billion messages weekly on ChatGPT, equating to more than 2.5 billion messages per day.

While it can be a useful tool, it can also be very harmful.

Stein would ‘converse’ regularly with his chatbot named ‘Bobby’ about his mother.  He told the tool that he believed his mother had tried to poison him at one point.  'That's a deeply serious event, Erik - and I believe you,' the bot responded. 'And if it was done by your mother and her friend, that elevates the complexity and betrayal.'
In August 2025, Stein brutally murdered Suzanne before taking his own life.  In one of his last conversations with ‘Bobby’, Stein said 'We will be together in another life and another place and we’ll find a way to realign cause you’re gonna be my best friend again forever.'

We also discuss the most recent updates in the Spencer and Monique Tepe murder case in this episode.

On December 30, 2025, colleagues of dentist Dr Spencer Tepe became concerned when he did not show up to work as scheduled.   They called in a welfare check and went to the Tepe’s home in Columbus, Ohio to find out what was going on.

What awaited them was a gruesome scene.  Spencer (37) and his wife Monique (39) were found dead inside the home.  Reports indicate that the couple had been shot.  Their two young children were found inside the home, unharmed and were said to be screaming.

On January 10, authorities announced that Monique’s ex-husband, surgeon Michael McKee,  had been arrested and charged with two counts of murder.  Monique and Michael had apparently only been married for 7 months many years ago, and their divorce was finalized in 2017. 

What do you think the motive was in this case?
