  • Body Found In a Bag _ The Case of Carina Saunders

    Body Found In a Bag _ The Case of Carina Saunders
    May 8 2026
    Behind a grocery store in Bethany, Oklahoma, a foul odor led to a duffel bag—and inside was the dismembered remains of 19-year-old Carina Saunders. Her head, hands, and feet had been sawn off, and someone had tried to cut a tattoo from her back to prevent identification. The horror was just beginning.
    In this episode, we investigate the 2011 murder of Carina Saunders, a young woman whose death became a nightmare labyrinth of human trafficking ring theories, a mysterious cell phone video, and shocking witness accounts. Two men—former teacher Luis Ruiz and Jimmy Massey—were arrested and charged, accused of torturing Carina to intimidate others in an alleged drug and trafficking network [citation:1][citation:8]. A witness described seeing her tied to a table and having her foot sawed off while alive [citation:7].
    But despite these chilling accounts, the charges were dismissed in 2013 due to lack of evidence [citation:3]. The case remains unsolved, haunted by rumors of a video of the killing that police have never been able to recover. We examine: Who was Carina? Why did friends beg her not to leave in that red pickup truck? And why, more than a decade later, is the person responsible still walking free?

    Actor Films The Moment She KilIs Her Uncle
    May 8 2026
    "She didn't just pull the trigger. She recorded the entire shooting on her phone—then used the footage to audition for a horror movie where her character commits an eerily similar murder."
    In this chilling true crime episode, we investigate the case of Aisling "Tucker" Moore-Reed, a 30-year-old actress and blogger who shot her uncle Shane Moore dead on July 26, 2016, at her grandmother's home in Jackson County, Oregon [citation:1][citation:7].
    The shooting stemmed from a bitter family dispute over a property deed. As a notary public looked on, Moore-Reed's mother, Kelly, ripped up legal documents, triggering a confrontation with Shane at the front door [citation:7]. Cell phone footage—recorded by Moore-Reed herself—captured her yelling "You son of a b*tch! Get out of here!" before firing a single fatal shot from just inside the doorway [citation:1].
    She initially claimed self-defense, citing a prior restraining order against her uncle. But the video told a different story. Prosecutors noted she sounded "angry that he wasn't dead" and that she had reloaded the gun after firing a test shot earlier that morning [citation:1][citation:7].
    Remarkably, while out on bail, Moore-Reed landed the lead role in the indie horror film *From the Dark* under the pseudonym Wyn Reed—playing a woman who kills in self-defense. The film's directors had no idea about her charges [citation:3]. The day after filming wrapped in 2018, her charges were upgraded to murder, and she was rearrested [citation:3].
    In May 2020, she pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter and was sentenced to 75 months (6 years, 3 months) in prison [citation:2][citation:7]. Listener discretion advised.

  • 3rd Grade Teacher Thinks She Can Get Away With Murder

    3rd Grade Teacher Thinks She Can Get Away With Murder
    May 8 2026
    "She smiled at the jury. She waved at her former student in the gallery. Then she sat down and told detectives she was 'just trying to help.'"
    In this gripping true crime episode, we examine the chilling interrogation of a third-grade teacher who believed her reputation, her charm, and her years of dedicated service would shield her from suspicion. But when detectives presented the evidence—digital footprints, contradictory statements, and a witness she never expected—her classroom composure shattered.
    Using interrogation transcripts and body language analysis, we walk through her initial confidence ("I would never hurt anyone, I teach children"), her mid-interview contradictions, and the exact moment she realized her alibi had collapsed. Featuring criminal psychologists who explain the "halo effect" in investigations—the dangerous assumption that trusted professionals cannot be killers—and interrogation experts who reveal how detectives chip away at professional facades.
    No graphic violence—just the psychological unraveling of a woman who thought her badge of trust made her untouchable. Listener discretion advised.
