On September 18th, 2014 Don Stewart made a 911 call that was chilling and downright horrifying because he was calm, cool and collected as he relayes the fact that he had murdered his daughter and his six grandchildren and that he intended to turn the gun upon himself when the authorities arrived.  Don Stewart had a long history, as did much of his family, of breaking the law but this story is hear...

On December 6th, 2014 Jessica Chambers was the victim of one of the most gruesome and grotesque murders that you could ever hear about.  Her death was very clearly planned out and very clearly personal, and yet, to this very day we still do not have answers as to who killed Jessica or why.  One man was arrested and implicated in the murder but he has so far faced two mistrials and there are doubts...

Over all of the episodes that we have talked about here on the podcast I don’t think that we have ever covered one that is quite like this one in so many ways.  This week we are going to talk about a young woman who went missing not once, not twice, but three different times within her life and sadly she has not been heard of or found since her last disappearance.  This is a case that covers a con...

In a world that is filled with crime and murder and people doing unexplainable and awful things to one another one of the worst things that I can find to read and write about is the killing of children by other children.  As we are going to see in this case today our children are growing up in a world that is sick and our children are growing up in a world that seemingly breeds hatred around each...

Much of humanity is driven by some combination of the desire to make a lot of money and the desire to be recognized, known and remembered in some way, shape or form, long after their time here on this earth has come to an end.  It is believed that part of the reason for those desires is that people inherently quest for immortality.  The unfortunate thing however is that, as we touched on in last w...
