    S03E13: The Unsolved Horror in Cabin 28: The Keddie Murders
    Nov 9 2025
    Glenna Susan "Sue" Sharp and her five children, Sheila, Greg, Richard, Tina, and John lived in Cabin 28 at the Keddie Resort in Keddie, California. On the morning of April 12, 1981, Sheila Sharp (who was staying with a nearby family, The Seabolts) returned home at 7:45 AM to find her brother, John, his friend, Dana Wingate, and her mother, Sue Sharp all murdered. Sue had been beaten and stabbed in the neck and chest, John had been beaten and his throat was slashed, and Dana was strangled. The other three boys at the home, Greg, Ricky, and their friend, Justin Eason had all been unharmed. Tina Sharp had been missing from the home. Tina's remains were found three years later in Feather Falls, a two a hour trip from Keddie.
    While there have been some developments, suspects, and many theories over the years, these murders still remain unsolved, 44 years later.

    S03E12: A Life Lost in the Margins: The Murder of Martha Freitag
    Oct 26 2025
    In late July of 2018, a 54-year-old Akron, Ohio woman named Martha Freitag called police to see if the restraining order she previously had on her on-again-off-again, live-in boyfriend, 53-year-old David Callaghan could be reinstated. Her pleas for help went ignored, as she had been struggling with paranoid Schizophrenia and often called police on her boyfriend. Little did police know, this would be the last time Martha was heard from or seen alive again. Later that year in September, Martha's daughter Kim pressured police to investigate her disappearance. Police did not take her calls seriously, leaving Kim to do her own investigation until one day when the family recieved a strange text message explaining that David would bury someone in the fire pit in the back yard. Upon investigating, the body of Martha Freitag was uncovered in the fire pit, wrapped in plastic, bedding, burnt, and showing signs of blunt force trauma with a rope still tied around her neck.

  • S03E11: The Photograph on the Billboard: Searching for the Sodder Five

    S03E11: The Photograph on the Billboard: Searching for the Sodder Five
    Oct 19 2025
    In the early morning hours of December 25, 1945, the Sodder family which included George and Jennie Sodder along with their 10 children (one of which was away in war) awoke to a house fire in their Fayetteville, West Virginia home. George, Jennie, and four of their children escaped. The other five children did not. After an investigation, it was determined that the other five children must have perished in the fire, despite their remains not being uncovered. For the next 20+ years for George and 40+ years for Jennie, the family frantically chased every lead believing their children were kidnapped and may still be alive. To this day, no trace of the five missing children has ever been found. Was it grief that led the Sodders to exhaust themselves, never putting the case to rest, or were they onto something and the children were truly kidnapped?
