True Crime with Kimbyr

WATCH PART ONE: HERE - The Shannon McNamara case is one of the most haunting and ultimately most inspiring true crime stories to come out of Eastern Illinois University.

In June 2001, 21-year-old Shannon McNamara, a bright athlete, physical education major, and beloved Alpha Phi sorority sister, was attacked in her off-campus apartment in Charleston, Illinois. She was just weeks into her summer, with her whole life ahead of her.

For a brief time, the small college town was gripped by fear and unanswered questions. Who could have done this, and how close to home was the danger, really?

What Shannon left behind would lead detectives straight to the truth, and her memory would go on to inspire a movement that has protected women across the country ever since.

In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Shannon McNamara case: who she was, the night that shattered a campus, the investigation that followed, and the extraordinary legacy of a young woman who refused to be a victim.

The Brittney Brashers case is one of the most haunting true crime stories to come out of Colorado in 2009. That year, in November, 22-year-old Brittney Brashers, a young Air Force veteran who had served in Iraq, died in what first appeared to be a terrible car crash on the drive home from Denver.

Her ex-boyfriend, Robbie Walters, walked away with barely a scratch. But almost nothing about that crash added up: the wreck wasn't severe enough to explain her death, and investigators couldn't shake the feeling that they were looking at something far darker than an accident.

Was it a tragic accident or something else? Why did one person survive the crash unharmed while Brittney did not? And what evidence finally forced authorities to take a second look at a death that had officially been ruled "undetermined"? In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Brittney Brashers case: who she was, the night of the crash, the investigation that refused to close, and the fight to uncover the truth.

Jayde was a 29-year-old teacher who vanished from outside her own home one rainy morning in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. In April 2015, Jayde walked out to her gate to wait for her carpool and disappeared in a matter of minutes.

What began as a missing-persons search — and looked, at first, like a robbery or a random abduction in a city gripped by violent crime — slowly unraveled into one of the most disturbing cases in South African history.

35-year-old Kelley Clayton, a devoted mom of two, was found dead in her family home after her husband, former pro hockey player Thomas Clayton, returned from his weekly poker night.

It appeared to be a home invasion by a masked intruder, but it became something far more disturbing when investigators turned to their only witness: the Claytons' 7-year-old daughter. What she told them would unravel a web of secrets, lies, and a plot no one saw coming.

In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Kelley Clayton case and how the smallest voice cracked the biggest case.

About This Case: In January 2004, in the quiet Boston suburb of Woburn, Massachusetts, 34-year-old Joanne Presti and her 12-year-old daughter Alyssa were found dead inside their home on Totman Drive. Joanne was a devoted single mother, protective, family-centered, the kind of woman whose whole world was her kids. Alyssa was a straight-A student and a cheerleader, twelve years old and still happiest helping her mom around the house.

They were killed just days into the new year, and the neighborhood couldn't understand why. Who would target this family? Investigators worked through a long list of people who had moved through Joanne's life: exes, a former husband, neighbors, anyone who'd ever been close enough to get through the door. For a while, the answer stayed just out of reach.

And then they found something inside the house. One small piece of evidence that pointed, quietly and undeniably, in a direction no one had let themselves consider.

This week, the story of Joanne and Alyssa Presti: who they were, what happened on Totman Drive, and the discovery that finally exposed the truth.
