Episode 54: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, MMIW, is a silent crisis of disproportionate violence against Native populations in North America. Many Indigenous women experience violence, abduction, and murder that often goes underreported or ignored by authorities and media, with systemic issues like misclassification, lack of data, and jurisdictional complexities hindering investigations. According to Indianlaw.org, in the United States, violence against indigenous women has reached unprecedented levels on tribal lands and in Alaska Native villages. More than 4 in 5 American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence, and more than 1 in 2 have experienced sexual violence. Today we are going to explore more alarming statistics and share the cases of 3 missing and murdered Native American women.

Episode 53: In December 2016, 19-year-old Sarah Stern was murdered in her home by her childhood friend, in Neptune City, New Jersey. The killer plotted for six months to rob Stern of what he believed was $100,000 in cash hidden in her home, money inherited after her mother’s death. In a recorded confession, the killer detailed how he used a stopwatch on his phone to time her death, which took 30 minutes. Despite extensive searches, her body has never been found, as experts believe it was swept out to sea after being thrown from a bridge. This case will make you question who you can trust and how far will someone go for money? Who killed Sarah Stern? https://abc.com/news/bd5ecdc5-04ec-42b3-b567-67ee5628b751/category/1138628 https://www.njcourts.gov/system/files/court-opinions/2022/a2155-19.pdf https://www.oxygen.com/injustice-with-nancy-grace/crime-time/liam-mcatasney-sarah-stern-murder-video-confession-strangle https://abcnews.com/US/liam-mcatasney-sentenced-life-parole-murdering-friend-sarah/story?id=63869375 https://www.elyfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Carla-Stern?obId=21624735

Episode 52: At the height of the Great Depression, the Barker-Karpis gang was building a criminal empire that would stir up the Midwest. They were bank robbers that graduated from small-town heists to high-stakes, multi-million dollar kidnappings of the American elite. At the center of this criminal enterprise was a supposed villain: Ma Barker, the matriarch who J. Edgar Hoover branded as the most dangerous criminal mind in the country. We’re digging into the true story of Alvin Karpis and the Barker brothers to discover if Ma was really the tactical mastermind of her sons’ crimes, or just the FBI's most successful piece of propaganda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Barker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barker%E2%80%93Karpis_Gang https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/barker-karpis-gang https://www.fbi.gov/history/artifacts/barker-karpis-gang-and-russell-gibsons-notebook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_Karpis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Barker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Barker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamm%27s_Brewery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Goetz

Episode 51: On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris (18) and Dylan Klebold (17) carried out a mass shooting and attempted bombing at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. The attack resulted in the deaths of 13 people (12 students and one teacher) and injured 24 others before both perpetrators turned their guns on themselves. In February 2025, the death of a paralyzed survivor was ruled a homicide, bringing the victim death toll to 14. The tragedy at Columbine High School was the deadliest school shooting at the time, and fundamentally changed national conversations around school safety, gun control, and policing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Harris_and_Dylan_Klebold https://courses.bowdoin.edu/history-2203-fall-2020-ecahill2/narrative-of-the-event/ https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/history/columbine-high-school-massacre https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrime/comments/b5u8o6/transcript_of_eric_harris_journal_entries_for/ http://www.acolumbinesite.com/

Episode 50: On February 2, 2009, a resident walking her dog found a human femur bone on the West Mesa, a desert area then slated for residential development in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Subsequent excavations revealed the largest crime scene in the city's history. Authorities identified 11 females and one fetus. Most of the victims had disappeared between 2003 and 2005, were Hispanic, and were known to be involved in drug use or sex work. While the exact cause of death was difficult to determine due to the skeletal state of the remains, investigators suspect strangulation, as there was no evidence of gunshot wounds or blunt force trauma. The "Bone Collector" was coined by the media and police due to the organized, shallow burials in the desert.

Episode 49: On the night of June 24, 1993, two high school friends, Jennifer Ertman (14) and Elizabeth Peña (16) were walking home from a pool party and took a shortcut along railroad tracks. There, they encountered six gang members who were in the middle of an initiation ritual. The gang ambushed the girls, subjected them to over an hour of physical torture and gang rape, and eventually strangled them to death using a belt and shoelaces. Their bodies were discovered four days later in a wooded area of the park, severely decomposed due to the summer heat. The murders of Jennifer and Elizabeth are among the most notorious in Houston, TX history due to their extreme brutality and the significant legal changes they prompted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison_gangs_in_the_United_States https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/unpub/05/05-70006.0.wpd.pdf https://grokipedia.com/page/ertman https://www.click2houston.com/news/investigates/2023/06/21/the-evidence-room-episode-18-the-devil-in-them/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/peter-anthony-cantu-execution-mastermind-of-jennifer-ertman-and-elizabeth-pena-murders-to-die-tonight/ http://www.clarkprosecutor.org/html/death/US/medellin1116.htm https://www.findlawimages.com/efile/supreme/briefs/04-5928/04-5928.resp.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Jennifer_Ertman_and_Elizabeth_Pe%C3%B1a https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueCrimeDiscussion/comments/1okkw0h/in_1993_patricia_lopez_a_young_motheroftwo_was/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medell%C3%ADn_v._Texas

Episode 48: For over two decades, a predator haunted the streets of South Los Angeles, leaving a trail of bodies in the dark alleys and trash heaps along Western Avenue. Because of a 14-year hiatus in his crimes, he was dubbed the "Grim Sleeper". This killer targeted vulnerable Black women during the height of the crack cocaine epidemic. This case eventually became solvable with the help of DNA. The investigation was defined by decades of missed opportunities, community outrage, and the overwhelming noise of a city gripped by a literal "epidemic" of serial murderers.

Come take a deep dive with us into the world of DNA. In this episode we also tell the cases of The Pitchfork Murders, the murder of Barbara Blatnik, and the second oldest cold case ever solved with DNA- Mary Theresa Simpson. https://www.ishinews.com/investigative-genetic-genealogy-how-does-it-work/ https://guides.loc.gov/genetic-genealogy https://www.cfsre.org/education/continuing-professional-education/archival-on-demand-education/an-introduction-to-investigative-genetic-genealogy-from-crime-scene-to-courtroom https://www.forensicmag.com/594940-How-Many-Cases-Have-Been-Solved-with-Forensic-Genetic-Genealogy/#:~:text=Forensic%20Genetic%20Genealogy?-,How%20Many%20Cases%20Have%20Been%20Solved%20with%20Forensic%20Genetic%20Genealogy,research%20into%20forensic%20genetic%20genealogy. https://genwhypod.com/blogs/the-generation-why-podcast-blog/barbara-blatnik-cold-case-solved https://www.kent.edu/magazine/shining-light-unsolved-crimes https://porchlightonline.org/our-first-case-barbara-blatnik/ https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/crime/audio-reveals-suspect-admitting-sexual-encounter-with-barbara-blatnik-on-night-of-her-murder/95-934c9195-e6fa-4b4d-8cc3-0060dcbaf675 https://othram.com/ https://www.ncmec.org/blog/2026/justice-after-61-years-solving-the-murder-of-12-year-old-mary-theresa?fbclid=IwY2xjawP_I_5leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETJoVmVobVBuQkFVblMwYmtFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHnNt75sMSyGF9cJ7tIgFqpGKqq74aV9UabTE700jbDj1_SgZo8edtcyajzMx_aem_r6FqA5BKoXjW1CeVsm8h-w https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_profiling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Pitchfork https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjd0ym0p05jo https://www.gov.uk/government/news/redacted-decision-in-the-case-of-colin-pitchfork

Episode 46: In 1988, 28 year-old British tourist Julie Ward traveled to Africa to carry out her passion for wildlife photography, a trip she had taken before, but this time she never returned home. After not hearing from his daughter for a few days, her dad John grew concerned and called the places she had been staying in and hospitals, but she wasn’t there. He travelled to Kenya himself and came across his daughter’s charred remains during a search, but the Kenyan government did not take much interest and claimed she was killed by an animal. This case is famous for the dedication of her father and the difficulties in securing justice in Kenya, leaving the question, who killed Julie Ward? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/01/murder-in-the-masai-mara-episode-two-julie-ward-post-mortem/ https://historicflix.com/the-tragic-case-of-julie-ward-what-happened-to-her/ https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-suffolk-65896310 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12/01/murder-in-the-masai-mara-episode-two-julie-ward-post-mortem/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/28/kenyas-secret-deal-silence-father-murdered-julie-ward/

Episode 44: Brianna Cook, Dylan Parker, and Ashley Sullivan were three teenagers from the Silver Valley region of Northern Idaho whose deaths between 2014 and 2015 sparked significant controversy and community suspicion. All three teens attended Kellogg High School and were part of the same social circle. The same coroner responded to all 3 deaths and had a gut feeling something was wrong and that the teens were murdered, but police had a different theory. A few weeks after the third victim’s body was found, the coroner was terminated from his position, he thinks because he refused to keep quiet.

Episode 43: In April, 1998, five friends headed into the remote Trinity Alps of Northern California for a fun camping trip to party. They were young, they were free, and they were looking for an escape. But only four of them would ever leave the woods. Lora Sinner wasn’t killed by a stranger in the dark or a predator on the trail; she was methodically tortured and murdered by the very people she shared a campfire with.

Episode 42 : 17-year-old Taylor Behl disappeared on Labor Day, September 5, 2005, just two weeks after starting her freshman year at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond, Virginia. Surveillance footage showed her leaving her dormitory with Benjamin Fawley, a 38-year-old amateur photographer she had met online earlier that year. Investigators used Fawley's internet activity—specifically photos he posted on MySpace—to narrow down the search. An ex-girlfriend of Fawley recognized a photo of a rural farm in Mathews County, Virginia, where they had previously visited. Sadly, on October 5, 2005, a month after she vanished, Behl's remains were found in a shallow grave in a remote area of Mathews County. Her case became one of the first major criminal cases solved using social media evidence. So what happened to Taylor Behl? https://www.styleweekly.com/dreams-unfulfilled/ https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna9646779 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taylor-behl-searching-for-secrets/

Episode 37: In this episode, we discuss the mystery surrounding the Sodder children, where five out of ten children disappeared after a house fire on Christmas Eve 1945 in West Virginia.

The mystery is fueled by a number of factors, including the fire being quickly attributed to faulty wiring despite previous inspections, the phone line being cut, the ladder from the house being found far away, and the family's 2 trucks being stalled.
