  • The Disappearance of Brittany Tee (Massachusetts)

    The Disappearance of Brittany Tee (Massachusetts)
    Apr 10 2025

    For more than two years, the family of Brittany Tee along with the Brookfield, Massachusetts, community and multiple law enforcement agencies have been searching for answers to her unexplained disappearance. It’s as if she simply vanished that January night, leaving no semblance of a trail to follow. Looking back now, Brittany’s sister Bethany feels something was going on in the days before Brittany went missing, but what?

    • Brittany is described as 5-foot-6 inches tall and 120 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a black winter coat, a hoodie, jeans, and work boots. If you have information that could help bring Brittany Tee home, please contact Massachusetts State Police at (508) 829-8326 or Brookfield Police at (508) 867-5570.

    The Murder of Melody Starr Derosia Waters (New Hampshire)
    Apr 3 2025

    She was ready to reinvent her life and just one flight stood between her and a new beginning… But when that plane took off, the 19-year-old expectant mother wasn’t on board. Three months later, her family learned the devastating truth. A suspect confessed to the killing soon after, but his defense raised eyebrows.

  • The Disappearance of Marilyn Lehan (Maine)

    The Disappearance of Marilyn Lehan (Maine)
    Mar 27 2025

    It wasn’t unusual for months or even years to pass without contact between Marilyn Lehan and her family, but when her brother decided to make a spontaneous visit to Marilyn’s home in Maine one summer, it set off alarm bells. The stories about her last known whereabouts don’t make sense to her family, and at this point, no one knows for sure the last time she was seen alive.

    • Marilyn Lehan would be 70 years old today. If you have information relating to her disappearance, please contact the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit - North at (207) 973-3750 or toll free at 1-800-432-7381. You can also leave a tip by visiting the link here.

Great stories and storyteller

I really enjoy Kylie and the stories she tells. I love that some are unsolved and some have a resolution. It’s so nice to actually have some resolution with some of the cases she shares.
Kylie has a knack for storytelling and I’m loving this show as a whole.

great most of the time but...

Normally, I like - no, make that, love - your podcasts. I am well on my way to listening to every single episode available (not in any particular order). I've given you tons of five stars but this episode (Elizabeth Jewett murder) was a real disappointment. I actually stopped listening part way through because this episode was drowning in your obvious political leanings. I get it, you are opposed to, as you put it, the "criminalization of sex work." I happen to disagree but that is really neither here nor there. We are each entitled to our opinions. but I - along with, I wager, 99.9% of your audience- listen to be entertained not proselytized. Just a little food for thought from a diehard fan.

great true crime podcast obsession

The cases are presented with respect and very little extrernal opinion interjection. You feel connected to the cases by the narration. Well worth the listen or binge

Being from the North East this podcast is great

I was able to binge this entire season so far non stop. I found this on audible too. I found episode 1 to be a great amount of time at around 30 mins . Each episode is at that amount of time. Perfect . Please keep up the great work.
