Two Sleuths

What happens when two committed sleuths leave their day jobs to bring you in-depth, investigative coverage of cold cases? With a tantalizing unsolved case and some spooky 'Satanic panic' cases lined up for October, this season promises to be our most thrilling yet. 

As we transition into this new phase, our release dates will shift to Tuesdays, and to make up for the disruption- we'll drop a new episode on a previously scheduled "skip" week. Get ready to join us on this exciting journey as we continue to unravel the mysteries of the unsolved and advocate for victims everywhere.

With an unexpected trial that took a chunk of time now behind Em,  we are thrilled to be fully committed to the podcast. For Katie, the journey from local news to full-time podcaster is proving to be a challenging but rewarding one. 

We appreciate your continued support and reviews, which help others discover our podcast. As we continue to improve, we're excited to bring you engaging episodes every week. As fellow sleuths, we hope you'll join us on this exhilarating ride into the world of cold cases. Together, let's continue to make a difference. 

Stay curious, and see you back here for a new episode on Tuesday, October 10th.

Join us as we kick off a new series - 'Folie à deux.' It's a unique phenomenon that happens when two people share the same delusion, often seen between 'team killers.' 

In this episode we dive into the case of Judith and Alvin Neelley, and the dynamics between these two that was so rare, it's only seen in less than 1% of cases.

In the early 1980's, the region surrounding Battle Creek, Michigan, saw three homicides of young women in less than one year. The victims were between 17 and 20 years old and were all violently  murdered. However, the cases would eventually turn cold, leaving the town in fear that at least one, if not more, killers were  out there. Would they claim more victims?

In part one, we'll dive deep into the first killing- 20-year-old Maggie Hume. A difficult-to-find crime scene for police, ended up being right under their noses. It left  many perplexing clues and enough leads for detectives to follow. 

The investigation into Maggie's case will continue in Part 2, along with the murders of Patricia Rosansky and Karri Evans. Plus, we'll tell you about the arrests and even a conviction that came out of the investigation even though these three murders are still considered unsolved.

It was a hot Summer day in July of 1985 in a quiet, upscale California neighborhood when a young mother was executed in her own home. 23-year-old Shannon Saville (née Cagle) had spent the day at work when she returned home to change clothes. She likely didn't see the killer coming before she was ambushed a few feet past her front door. Investigators have said the murderer tried to clean up some of the evidence. However, they left one important clue behind. The shell casing from a .9mm handgun.

We have spent months working with Shannon's family and the Fresno County Sheriff's Office on this case, and pulling public records and old news coverage. After nearly 40 years, we have uncovered new details and, for the first time, helped to establish a cash reward for evidence that leads to an arrest.

Join Shannon's now adult daughter, Desiree, in the fight for justice on a Facebook page dedicated to the case.

And please help us and Shannon's family by sharing this episode wherever you can.
