Alan goes to work early and leaves Amanda's kids under the supervision of his son, Alan Jr. When Amanda arrives from work she finds her two kids watching TV alone and Alan Jr fast asleep in his bedroom. But this is where the stories differ...

In the second half of our interview, we’re breaking down what happened that night in Haverhill, conflicting timelines, weird findings at the crash site, and other confusing events that led to crucial time wasted and unanswered questions.

In this chilling and heartbreaking episode of Weird True Crime, Gina and Amber unravel the twisted tale of Ben Renick — a world-renowned snake breeder who was tragically murdered in his Missouri reptile facility in 2017.
What initially looked like a freak accident involving one of Ben’s giant pythons quickly unraveled into something far darker. Through twists involving life insurance, poison-laced protein shakes, extramarital affairs, and a murder-for-hire plot, the truth finally came to light — and it wasn’t the snakes who struck.
We follow the investigation step-by-step, from the bizarre discovery of Ben's body to the shocking arrests of his wife Lynlee Renick and her accomplice Michael Humphrey. With firsthand quotes, courtroom testimony, and commentary from those who knew Ben best, this episode dives deep into one of the most serpentine true crime cases in recent memory.
🐍 Was it greed? Jealousy? Cold-blooded calculation?
 💔 How did someone so admired in the exotic animal world meet such a tragic end?
 🎤 Plus, hear from the community that continues to honor Ben's legacy — including a breed of python named in his memory.

In this powerful and heartbreaking premiere of WTF: What They Faced, Gina and Amber delve into the real-life story of John Edward Jones, a 26-year-old medical student and father who became trapped in Utah’s infamous Nutty Putty Cave in 2009.
What began as a family caving adventure turned into a 27-hour rescue mission that captivated the nation and ended in unthinkable tragedy. Using official reports, firsthand accounts, and direct quotes from rescuers and family members, this episode examines the full timeline of John’s entrapment, the harrowing rescue effort, the system failure that sealed his fate, and the aftermath that changed cave safety forever.

This is more than a story about a cave — it’s about human determination, faith, and the emotional limits of rescue. If you’ve heard of the Nutty Putty Cave but don’t know what really happened beneath the surface, this episode offers a deeply researched, respectful, and haunting look at what John Jones truly faced.

On the morning of September 26, 2003, 32-year-old Army veteran and father Eric Nelams stepped outside his Phenix City, Alabama home to head to work—just like he did every other day. Minutes later, he was gunned down in his own carport. Despite witnesses, potential suspects, and a possible motive, Eric’s murder remains unsolved more than two decades later. In this episode, we explore the tragic and frustrating case of Eric Nelams—an honorably discharged veteran, a devoted father, and a man who was deeply loved by his family and community. We examine the suspicious circumstances surrounding his murder, including an alleged fraud scheme, questionable behavior from those closest to him, and early missteps by law enforcement that may have cost investigators valuable time and evidence. Eric’s family, including his sister Cathy and mother Annie, have never stopped fighting for answers. From billboards and petitions to monthly emails to police, their pursuit of justice is as strong today as it was in 2003. 📢 How you can help:  Eric’s case remains open but unsolved. His family is petitioning to have the Alabama Attorney General’s Cold Case Unit take over the investigation.
