January 08The Disappearance of the Hoggle Children | Still No Answers
Timestamp to skip intro: (5:44)
In 2014, Maryland mother-of-three Catherine Hoggle had been struggling with her mental health. Catherine had been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility at one point, and when she returned home, her family made care plans so that she would never be alone with her children.
One evening in September 2014, Catherine convinced her father to let her take her son Jacob (2) with her to get a pizza. A strange series of events followed, and the following morning, Troy Turner (the father of the children) discovered that Jacob AND his sister Sarah (3) were missing.
Catherine told Troy that she had taken the kids to trial at a new daycare. When Troy asked her where the daycare center was, Catherine claimed she could not remember. No trace of either child has ever been found.

Catherine would end up being indicted on murder charges in relation to her children. This case has dragged on for over a decade due to repeated questions about Catherine’s mental health and her competency to stand trial.
In December 2025, a judge ruled that Catherine is now competent to stand trial for the murder of her children. The trial is currently scheduled to take place this year, 2026.

Below the Surface is a true crime podcast covering a variety of strange and bizarre cases with one common theme; a water connection.

The show features both solved and unsolved cases, some of which are well known, while others have received little attention.

In this special preview of episode 1, we explore the puzzling case of Kim Wall who was Best known for her articles in the Guardian, New York Times, and Vice, journalist. She disappeared in a submarine beneath the Oresund Strait after interviewing inventor, Peter Madsen, on August 10, 2017. We can only speculate what exactly happened below the surface, but upon the submarine’s resurface, Kim was missing, but Peter Masden was not.

January 01 Patreon Unlocked - Ellen Greenberg Death Investigation Updates
Timestamp to skip straight to the case: (9:52)

TW - suicide.

Ellen was found dead in her apartment in 2011 with 20 stab wounds, including some to her back and neck. Ellen’s death was ruled a suicide and many people have argued that this ruling was incorrect. How could someone stab themselves multiple times in the back?

Ellen’s parents have fought for years to have her case re-examined and their petition was granted this year. Another medical examiner reviewed the reports and information available, and again, ruled that Ellen’s death was a suicide.

In this episode, we run through the new updates (including newly discovered wounds on Ellen’s body). Was Ellen murdered or was her death truly suicide?

Be sure to check the timestamp to get straight to the case.

December 18, 2025Famous & Missing | Actor Joseph Pichler & Musician Richey Edwards
Timestamp to skip the intro: (11:00)

Welcome back to another episode of the True Crime Society Podcast.

In this episode we discuss two separate cases of missing celebrities:
Joseph Pichler was a child star, best known for his roles in films such as Varsity Blues, Beethoven’s 3rd and Beethoven’s 4th. In 2006, Joseph’s vehicle was found abandoned in Washington State with a note indicating that his belongings should go to his brother. Now, 19 years later, Joseph remains missing.
Musician Richey Edwards was part of the British band ‘Manic Street Preachers.’ Richey had a documented history of mental health and addiction struggles. Once when he was questioned about being serious about his music, he carved the words ‘4 Real’ into his arm with a razor blade. The injury required 18 stitches. In February 2005, Richey was due to leave London to fly to the United States to begin a press tour. Instead, he left behind some of his belongings in his hotel and drove back to his apartment in Cardiff, Wales. Over the next few weeks, there were reported sightings of Richey in that country. His car would later be found abandoned near a bridge. Reported sightings of Richey have come from India and Spain. Richey has now been missing for over 20 years.

December 11, 2025 Missing Ciera Breland | Always the Husband?!
Timestamp to skip intro: (10:20)

Lawyer Ciera Locklair met Xavier Breland during the pandemic. The two were married by a Justice of the Peace via Zoom, shortly after they first met.

Ciera became pregnant and gave birth to their son in October 2021. She was becoming increasingly unhappy in her marriage and told family and friends of her plans to leave Xavier. Ciera even had a burner phone to use in case of an emergency and she told her cousin that if anything happened to her, authorities should look at Xavier.

In February 2022, Ciera, Xavier and their son traveled from Indiana to Georgia to visit family. Ciera was last seen alive on CCTV at Xavier’s mother’s home on February 23, 2022. After that date, Ciera vanished and no trace of her has ever been found.

Xavier has given conflicting stories about the circumstances surrounding his wife’s disappearance. He is currently incarcerated on charges unrelated to this case.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we ask the question - where is Ciera Locklair Breland?

December 04, 2025 A "Romantic Homicide"? | D4vd & Celeste Rivas Hernandez
Timestamp to skip the intro: (9:00)

In early September 2025, an abandoned Tesla was towed from an affluent neighborhood in Los Angeles to a tow yard after it violated a parking ordinance. Within days, employees at the yard reported a foul odor coming from the vehicle and reported that it was attracting flies.

When authorities investigated, they discovered the body of a young female in the front trunk of the Tesla.

The body was identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez – a California teen who had been reported missing in 2024.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Celeste had been associated with the musician D4vd in recent years. The two have documented interactions online. When Celeste’s body was discovered, she was noted to have a tattoo that matched one that d4vd has.

D4vd has since cancelled his upcoming tour and media sources report that he is a suspect in Celeste’s death. No charges have been laid but a grand jury has been convened in the case.

In November 2025, New Zealand man Dean Field allegedly killed his three young children August, Hugo and Goldie before setting their home on fire. Dean perished along with the children.
Ohio man Ryan Eagon and his wife Raven had a tumultuous relationship.

Timestamps:
(9:10) - Updates: Delphi & Skelton Brothers
(19:41) - Natasha Ryan
Australian teenager Natasha Ryan (14) was having some difficulties in 1998. Her parents had divorced and she had been experimenting with drugs and alcohol.

One morning in August 1998, Natasha’s mother dropped her off at school. Her daughter never made it home.

For years, police and the family searched for Natasha. It was believed that she was possibly a victim of Leonard Fraser, a serial killer that had been operating in the area. Fraser was charged with the murder of Natasha, as well as other women.

During Fraser’s trial, an anonymous tip was called in to police. They searched a house in Rockhampton, Queensland. Natasha was found alive and well, hiding in a cupboard.

All sources and clips are linked on our blog for Natasha - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2025/11/16/natasha-ryan-the-tragic-case-of-the-girl-in-the-cupboard/

November 13, 2025Moms Who Murder | The Ocheltree Familicide, Oninda Romelus, & Dr. Tiffany Wilkes
Timestamp to skip intro: (6:58)

Filicide is the deliberate act of a parent killing their own child. On average, according to FBI statistics, 450 children are murdered by their parents each year in the United States.

TW - child m*urder.
Despite having a seemingly perfect life on the surface, Paula Truong and her husband Thomas Ocheltree were having financial issues in 2025. Their businesses had been forced to close and their multi-million dollar house had been foreclosed on. In October 2025, Thomas’ brother became concerned when he could not get in touch with the family. He went to the home and found Paula, Thomas and their two young daughters deceased. Autopsy results are pending but media reports indicate that Paula was the perpetrator in this case.
Texas woman Oninda Romelus once appeared on the reality show ‘Paternity Court’ in an effort to determine who the father of her oldest son was. In October 2025, Oninda allegedly shot her four children and drove them to a gas station where she called 911. Two of the children passed and two survived. Oninda told authorities later that she had not called 911, that she had called the devil.
Anaesthetist Dr Tiffany Wilkes and her daughter Clementine (8) lived in Queensland, Australia. Tiffany’s mother passed away in recent years and Tiffany was said to be struggling with her mental health. In September 2025, Tiffany and Clementine checked into an Airbnb that cost $1,000 per night, and they never checked out. Tiffany sent a pre-scheduled email to a colleague that prompted a welfare check. When authorities went to the home, they found the bodies of the mother and daughter. Causes of death for the pair have not been released, but police have determined this was likely a murder-suicide.

Kada Scott (23) drove to her overnight shift at an assisted living facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 4, 2025. When she did not arrive home the following morning, her parents raised the alarm.

For weeks, authorities would search for Kada. A man named Keon King (21) would turn himself into police after police determined that he had been communicating with Kada prior to her disappearance.

On October 18, 2025, an anonymous tipster called in information about the case and Kada’s remains were found in a shallow grave. Her cause of death was determined to be a gunshot to the head and Keon has now been charged with murder.
