    Jul 16 2025
    When a woman goes missing in Sydney, Australia in 1982, all that could be heard was the cicadas buzzing in the trees. No one was looking for her; not her friends and not police. In Part One of this two-part episode, we'll talk about the beautiful life Lynette Dawson had grown accustomed to before it was all taken from her.

    144: The Murder of Lori Bray
    Jun 11 2025
    On a crisp October night, Lori Bray finished her shift at the casino, eager to get home and escape into the quiet of the evening before facing another early morning. But when the casino manager spotted Lori’s car abandoned at a lonely rural intersection the next day, far from her usual route, a sense of dread crept in. A chance encounter and a single act of kindness lead Lori on a detour that she never wanted.

    143: A Shot in the Dark: The Murder of Farah Fratta
    Jun 4 2025
    November 9, 1994 was an ordinary Wednesday night for Laura Hoelscher and her husband, Darren, until they were startled by gunfire across the street. Rushing to their living room window, they witnessed their neighbor, Farah Fratta, fall to her garage floor and a masked man escape in a getaway car. Zeroing in on who wanted Farah dead would be the easy part, but proving it wouldn't be.

    142: The Generous Doctor: The Murder of Dr. Thomas Burchard
    May 28 2025
    Dr. Thomas Burchard, a pediatric psychiatrist, was exceptional at taking care of others. Though he had good intentions, his habit of sending money to pretty women who were down on their luck, was not a good look for the esteemed doctor. Soon, he'd cross paths with one young woman who would take much more than his money.
