  • Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders
    Jun 8 2026

    In June 1977, more than 100 Girl Scouts arrived at Camp Scott in Oklahoma for what should have been a summer filled with campfires, friendships, and adventure.

    By the next morning, three girls—Lori Farmer, Michele Guse, and Doris Milner—had been brutally murdered.

    As investigators searched for answers, they uncovered a disturbing warning that had been found at the camp weeks earlier, a cave filled with suspicious evidence, and a fugitive named Gene Leroy Hart who quickly became the prime suspect.

    But when Hart went to trial, he was acquitted. And decades later, advances in DNA technology would reignite the debate over what really happened that night.

    In this episode, we try to ask the same question: Who killed the girls of Camp Scott?

  • Bain Family Murders
    May 18 2026

    On the morning of June 20, 1994, five members of the Bain family were found shot to death inside their home in Dunedin, New Zealand. Four days later, the only surviving family member, 22-year-old David Bain, was charged with the murders.

    What followed became one of New Zealand’s most controversial criminal cases.

    Was David Bain a calculated killer who staged the scene and tried to frame his father? Or was Robin Bain responsible for the murders before taking his own life?

    In this episode, we break down the crime scene, the conflicting evidence, the appeals, the retrial, and the theories that still divide people decades later.

  • The Killing of Sharon Lopatka
    Apr 6 2026

    In 1996, Sharon Lopatka left her home in Maryland after weeks of online conversations with a man she had never met in person. Days later, she was dead.

    What makes this case different isn’t just how it ended—it’s what led up to it. Hundreds of emails. Detailed planning. And a request that raises questions people still debate today.

    Did Sharon truly consent to what happened? Or was this a case of someone taking advantage of a woman in a vulnerable state?

    In this episode, we break down the timeline, the messages, and the details that make this case one of the most unsettling intersections of the early internet and real-life consequences.
