In this episode, Pam Sturm’s daughter, Nikole, takes the stand to tell her version of how they “just happened” to find Teresa Halbach’s RAV4. According to her, she never looked away from the car—not once. Even while talking to police, even while writing her statement.

But her testimony starts to slip the moment it’s questioned. Did Manitowoc or Calumet arrive first? Did she see anyone actually approach the vehicle? What about the pa...

What are the odds that some volunteer searchers, two of them, find Teresa's missing SUV is found under 30 minutes inside a massive, I mean massive 40-acre junkyard with over 4000 cars?

How does this happen? Or....did someone make sure it happened?

Today, in Episode 8, we hear the testimony of Teresa Halbach's ex-boyfriend Ryan Hillegas. He organized the search party, he handed out flyers, hacked into her phone records, and he moved into her house after she was d3ad. (creepy right?)


Did police question him? Did he mention he was an ex-boyfriend? Did he use his real name?


When he's done, we'll then hear what Kathleen Zell...

They found her car. They never found her.

Everything that happened after Maura Murray's accident in that tiny town in New Hampshire is a rabbit hole of dead-end leads, new witnesses, mysterious vehicles, a potential weapon, and more. Nothing that has led anyone to Maura all these years later.


Not even a suspect has ever been named!


In this episode, you'll hear about these new w...

Dawn Pliska, the receptionist at AutoTrader, was the one who made some of Teresa Halbach's appointments for her. The thing is though, her last known appointment? This leaves a big hole in the timeline.

 

Teresa was known for getting those "hustle shots" that made her extra cash and these appointments wouldn't even show up on her appointment sheet until she turned them in...the next day. So ...

It's 2004 and a UMass college student is driving at night in the dead of winter. She crashes her car on a desolate New Hampshire road. The airbags go off, and someone across from the crash site calls 911. By the time the police arrive, the car is locked, there's a rag stuffed in her tailpipe, and Maura Murray is just...gone.


In Episode 2, I talk about the timeline, a man with an e...

In July 1981, 13-year-old Mary Louise Day vanished from her family’s home in Seaside, California.

No one filed a police report. No missing posters. Not even a phone call to the local station. Her name wasn't even allowed to be mentioned in the household.

For more than two decades, she was missing. And then, in 2003, a woman claiming to be Mary appeared in Arizona.

Was she really the missing girl, or part of an elaborate cover-up?
