  • The Jelani Day Case
    Jun 14 2026

    When 25‑year‑old grad student Jelani Day vanished in August 2021, his family’s world stopped. Jelani was focused, joyful, and deeply loved — not someone who would simply disappear. But within days, his car was found hidden in the woods, and weeks later, his body was discovered miles away in the Illinois River under circumstances that still make no sense.

    In this episode, we break down the timeline, the unanswered questions, and the frustrations Jelani’s family faced as they fought for urgency, transparency, and justice. What really happened to Jelani Day — and why does this case remain so painfully unresolved?

  • Baylie's Story: By My Eyes
    May 31 2026

    Part Two takes us into the heartbreaking events of August 2018, when Baylie’s life was cut short in a tragic accident that left her family searching for answers no parent should ever have to seek. We examine the timeline of that day, the medical decisions that followed, and the emotional and legal battles her mother, Shawnee Baker, has fought in the years since. This episode explores the complexities surrounding Baylie’s death — the unanswered questions, the advocacy work that emerged from her loss, and the legacy she continues to leave behind through Baylie’s Wish Foundation. With care and clarity, we look at how a family’s grief transformed into purpose, and why Baylie’s story still resonates with so many today.

    May 17 2026

    In this episode of Crime Curious, we’re heading to Adelaide — a city known for beaches, wine, and, unfortunately, one of the most chilling figures in Australian true crime: Bevan Spencer von Einem.

    Von Einem was the quiet, well‑spoken accountant who blended into the background… until the abduction and murder of 15‑year‑old Richard Kelvin shattered that illusion and exposed a far darker reality. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a disturbing pattern of drugging's, assaults, and whispered rumors about a shadowy group of men preying on vulnerable teens.
