  • S2 E5: The Murder of Robin Spielbauer
    Jul 7 2025

    Robin Spielbauer was a mother, a daughter, and a shining light in Amarillo Texas. But tragedy stuck when she was found beaten and murdered on the side of the road. Was it her ex-husband, trying to get even? Or his new wife, who wanted her out the way once and for all? Two suspects, a missing murder weapon, this is the ultimate case of he said-she said. But who is telling the truth...?

  • S2 E4: Invasion of the Hopkinsville Goblins!
    Jun 30 2025

    Alana is ready to take us out of this world! Or maybe just to Hopkinsville Kentucky for one wild Aliens case. The Hopkinsville invasion is one of the most witnessed alien encounters, that led to a full shootout and 11 terrified occupants. This case is as baffling as it is interesting, so let's grab our tin-foil hats and cough syrup, and get into it!

  • S2 E2: Jean Hilliard, Frozen Alive
    Jun 16 2025

    Alana tells us all about the chilling case of Jean Hilliard, a young woman who miraculously survived being frozen alive. It's our very first survivors case, but even still, the events of the night she was frozen (and even more so what it took to bring her back) are not for the faint of heart. Warning ahead, our forecast calls for the blood skeeves.
