In 1983, Diane Downs drove to an Oregon hospital with her three children shot in the car. She said a stranger had attacked them on a rural road.

This week, we cover the Diane Downs case: the strange hospital arrival, her relationship with Robert “Nick” Knickerbocker, the children she may have seen as obstacles, and the daughter who survived long enough to tell t...
A mother is killed inside her own home. A father is shot and left for dead. Their daughter is upstairs, tied up, calling 911.

In this episode of Tell Me The Crime, we examine the disturbing case of Jean-Claude Romand, the French man who spent nearly eighteen years pretending to be a doctor and researcher connected to the World Health Organization.
His wife believed him. His children believed him. His parents, friends, and even people who trusted him with money believed him. But there was no real medical career, no WHO job, and no normal wor...
In this episode of Tell Me The Crime, we examine the devastating case of Andrea Yates, the Texas mother who drowned her five children in 2001. There was never any question that Andrea committed the act. The question was whether she was legally sane when she did it.
This case forces a difficult conversation about postpartum psychosis, religious delusions, criminal responsibility, and how the legal system should respon...
Michelle Carter and Conrad Roy’s case is one of the most disturbing we’ve covered.

This episode looks at the texts, the pressure, the promise, and the messages Michelle sent to friends before Conrad...
A family of four was murdered inside their Tokyo home.
Then the killer stayed.
He left behind blood.
Clothes.
A knife.
Fingerprints.
DNA.
Clues everywhere.
But more than twenty years later…
no name.
No arrest.
No answer.
This is the Setagaya Family Murder.
A neighbor asks for help. A veteran says yes. And within hours, two people are dead.
In this episode, we cover the murders of Sam Herr and Julie Kibuishi, a case involving trust, money, staged evidence, and a plan that briefly made one victim look like the killer.
Daniel Wozniak was days away from his wedding when Sam disappeared and Julie was found dead in Sam’s apartment. What looked at first like one story qu...
Her name was Laci Peterson.
She was eight months pregnant with a baby boy named Conner.
By the end of the day, her dog would be found wandering alone.
Her house would be empty.
And her husband would have a story that would raise more questions than answers.
Within days, the case would become a national obsession.
Because what looked like an ordinary holiday morning…
would unravel into something much ...
Travis Alexander’s friends knew something was wrong.
Not “murder” wrong.
But wrong.
She showed up unannounced.
She seemed to know things she should not know.
She inserted herself into his life even after the relationship was over.
Then Travis missed a trip.
His friends went to his house.
And they found him in the shower.
Stabbed more than 27 times
His throat cut.
Shot in the head.
And the woman eve...
He left to clear his head.
Just a short trip to a waterfall trail near Mount Salak.
A few hours passed.
Then he came home.
But when he walked through the door—
his family was already mourning him.
Because to them…
he had been gone for three months.
A woman goes out for a run… and disappears.
When her husband finds her phone, it’s lying on the ground.
With earbuds and hair stuck in them.
Three weeks later, she’s found on the side of the road.
Bruised. Beaten. Even Branded.
There's a chain around her waist… and a story about being kidnapped.
But the DNA evidence....tells a different story.
She arrived in Los Angeles alone.
Just another traveler—passing through a city full of strangers.
At first, nothing seemed out of place.
She explored the city, spoke with people, and stayed in a downtown hotel.
But within days, something began to change.
Her behavior became increasingly unusual.
Guests grew concerned.
And then—she vanished.
Weeks later, what was discovered inside the hotel&hellip...
He lived a completely normal life.
Husband. Father. Church member. Nothing about him stood out.
But over time, something else was happening—something hidden, controlled, and deliberate.
And eventually…
he started communicating.
Not to confess.
But to be known.
She got into the car willingly.
At first, everything felt normal. Familiar. Safe.
But over the course of a single night, something began to shift.
Not all at once—but enough that someone could have stopped it.
No one did.
And each moment made the next one harder to turn back.
An 8-year-old girl vanishes in Bali, Indonesia.
Not from a crowded street—but from inside her own home.
At first, it seems impossible.
Then the story starts to unravel.
And what investigators uncover next…
is darker than anyone expected.
A brutal murder.
A confession that seemed to settle everything. A case the system considered closed.
But something didn’t sit right.
Years later, one piece of evidence forces a second look—
and raises a much darker question:
What if they got it completely wrong?
It started with footprints in the snow.
They led to the house—but never came back out.
Then came the sounds from the attic. The missing keys. The feeling that someone was watching.
By the time anyone understood what was happening…
it was already too late.
A man is found dead on a beach.
No identification. No clear cause of death. No explanation for how he got there.
But hidden in his pocket…
is a message no one can decode.
And the deeper investigators dig—
the stranger it gets.
