In 1983, Diane Downs drove her blood-spattered car into an Oregon hospital, claiming a "bushy-haired stranger" shot her three children. What followed was a disturbing display of manipulation, as the superficial wound on her arm and her chillingly calm demeanor raised immediate red flags. We break down how this narcissist rewrote reality and why she viewed her children, not as beloved family, but as obstacles to a new life.

On September 1, 2015, 17-year-old Macin Smith walked out of his St. George, Utah home, presumably heading for the school bus. He never arrived at school, and he never came home. Left behind in his bedroom were the very things most teens can't live without: his cell phone, his laptop, and his wallet. But tucked away in that wallet was a folded note that would change everything - a note with a message so heavy it left his family questioning if they ever truly knew their "silent son." Was Macin running away from a strict household, or was he walking toward something much darker? We dive into the sightings, the theories, and the desperate search for Macin Smith.
