December 27, 2024 The Covina Christmas Massacre | The Case of the Ortega Family | UNSEEN
“He shot my daughter in the face!”
On Christmas Eve 2008, just before midnight, 911 operators scramble as every phone rings off the hook in the city of Covina, California. All the callers frantically report a massive explosion on East Knollcrest drive—the Ortegas' family home. In the chaos, neighbors are sheltering the panicked surviving family members, running for their lives from what should have been a normal Christmas dinner. But what the survivors tell 911 dispatchers is even more deeply disturbing: the nightmare actually began before the house went up in flames when a man dressed as Santa Claus opened fire at the family dinner. Now, the surviving Ortega family must figure out how to rebuild after an unimaginable tragedy, and keep the Christmas spirit alive.

In her journey to rebuild, Leticia Yuzefpolsky now shares empowering stories about healing, love, & family on her blog: https://leticiashope.com/about/

December 20, 2024 The Original Mindhunter | The Case of Opal Horton ft. Ann Burgess | UNSEEN
“I think he’s right behind me — watching me”
June 13th 1985: Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess, a trailblazer mindhunter, sits across from an 8YO girl, trying to analyze her. 10 days prior, little Opal Horton barely escaped a kidnapping by a man who took her best friend Missy right in front of her. Now, Dr. Burgess’s job is to catch this man, to find Missy before it’s too late, but there’s one problem: Opal is not talking. Dr. Burgess will need to use everything her studies have taught her, from her nursing career, to teaching the FBI, to studying the most notorious serial killers, to eventually catch Opal’s monster.
Unseen would like to sincerely thank Dr. Burgess for time to meet with us, share her insights on the case, and teach us about her groundbreaking work in mental health and forensics.
Dr. Burgess has authored numerous publications, including her recent book “A Killer by Design” about her career revolutionizing treatment of the trauma and abuse, and criminal psychology: https://www.amazon.com/Killer-Design-Murderers-Mindhunters-Decipher/dp/0306924862
