  • Into Darkness: The Murder of Denise Huber

    Into Darkness: The Murder of Denise Huber
    Jan 9 2026
    A lot of the murder cases we cover feature slow-boiling resentments, or criminal schemes hatched with an explicit target in mind. Killings by strangers are rare—and terrifying. You can just be going about your life with no idea that a predator is hunting you, a twisted mind that has no more connection to your life than a shark does. And then, out of the night, they strike.

    Join us for the chilling story of a would-be serial killer stopped after his first murder.

    Stick around after the outro for a funny blooper!

  • Chasing a Shadow: The Stalking of Joanne Chambers

    Chasing a Shadow: The Stalking of Joanne Chambers
    Jan 2 2026
    In the early 1990s, a beloved first-grade teacher in Pennsylvania began receiving harassing, threatening letters from an anonymous sender. Her school principal, fellow teachers, and the parents of some of her students soon began receiving them too. As the ordeal wore on, the stalker slowly escalated from taunts to vile accusations and death threats—and then, finally, violence. From early on in the case, the police thought they knew the tormentor’s identity, but it took 18 months to finally gather the evidence needed for an arrest. The trial to follow would be one of the most bizarre the state had ever seen. The case took twist after twist before reaching a conclusion nobody saw coming.

  • For the Love of Money: The Crimes of Randy Roth, FINALE

    For the Love of Money: The Crimes of Randy Roth, FINALE
    Dec 26 2025
    In Part Two of this story last week, we learned how serial husband and waste of DNA Randy Roth seduced, married, and almost certainly murdered his second wife Jan for a life-insurance payout, and tried and failed to use the same scheme on wife number three, Donna Clift. And if you already hate Randy, that’s only going to get worse after the tragic conclusion to his story this week.
