 Serial Napper is true crime for the chronically tired. Hosted by Canadian podcaster Nikki Young, Serial Napper tells the stories of real crimes, disappearances and mysteries from around the world, with a focus on the people at the centre of them and the details that too often get lost along the way. Each episode digs into the full story: who these people were before they became names in headlines, what actually happened, how investigators pieced the case together, what unfolded inside the courtroom, and, when answers are still missing, the questions that remain. Nikki tells each story the way she'd tell it to you if you were sitting across the table from her: conversational, curious, occasionally sassy and with a little dark humour when the moment allows for it. The victims are always treated with respect. The absurd behaviour surrounding some of these cases? Considerably less so. Some episodes cover cases you've probably heard of, but go beyond the version that has been repeated for years. Others explore Canadian cases, international crimes, strange mysteries and lesser-known stories that deserve far more attention than they've received. At its heart, Serial Napper is about looking past the headline and asking what really happened. So dim the lights, get comfortable, and try not to have nightmares. This is Serial Napper.Nikki Young True Crime

  • The Principal Who Hypnotized His Students: Dr. George Kenney

    The Principal Who Hypnotized His Students: Dr. George Kenney
    10 Nov 2026
    What happens when the person students trust to guide and protect them starts experimenting with hypnosis? At North Port High School in Florida, principal Dr. George Kenney was known for going above and beyond for his students. He was popular, approachable, and always looking for ways to help teenagers succeed... but he also had an unusual interest: hypnosis. Students came to him hoping to improve their grades, overcome anxiety, and perform better in sports. Some swore his sessions worked. Parents gave their permission, and for years, few people seemed particularly concerned. Then, in 2011, three students who had participated in Kenney's hypnosis sessions died within just two months of one another. As grieving families began asking questions, investigators uncovered just how extensive Kenney's hypnosis activities had become, along with troubling revelations about his qualifications, the warnings he'd received, and the school district's failure to enforce restrictions on his conduct. Was there a connection between the hypnosis sessions and the students' deaths? Or was something else happening at North Port High School?

  • The Long Way Home: Melina Frattolin and Her Last Phone Call

    The Long Way Home: Melina Frattolin and Her Last Phone Call
    6 Nov 2026
    On July 19, 2025, nine-year-old Melina Frattolin was supposed to be returning home to Montreal after a week-long vacation in the United States with her father, Luciano Frattolin. But that evening, Luciano called 911 from upstate New York with a terrifying story. He claimed that two men in a white van had kidnapped Melina from the side of the highway. Police launched an urgent search, issuing an Amber Alert and stopping vehicles matching the description. But as investigators tried to retrace Luciano's movements, they began finding inconsistencies in his account. The following afternoon, Melina's body was discovered in a remote wooded area near Ticonderoga, New York. What followed was an investigation involving cellphone records, surveillance footage, handwritten notes, and evidence that raised serious questions about what had happened during the final hours of Melina's life.

  • Rapunzel: Delimar Vera | The Baby Who Vanished in a House Fire

    Rapunzel: Delimar Vera | The Baby Who Vanished in a House Fire
    2 Nov 2026
    In December 1997, a fire tore through a Philadelphia home. Ten-day-old Delimar Vera was believed to have died in her crib, leaving her family devastated. But her mother, Luz Cuevas, never stopped questioning what happened that night. Six years later, at a child's birthday party, Luz noticed a little girl who looked remarkably familiar. The resemblance was unsettling, but it was one tiny detail that made her wonder whether the impossible could actually be true. What followed was an extraordinary investigation involving five strands of hair, DNA testing, and a woman with a troubling connection to the night of the fire. For the final episode of *Serial Nightmare*, we're revisiting the story of Rapunzel through the real-life case of Delimar Vera, a little girl whose disappearance was only the beginning of a much more complicated story.
