Notes de l’épisode
On April 24, 2018, David Tronnes called 911 from his Orlando home and said he had found his wife, 39-year-old Shanti Cooper-Tronnes, unresponsive in the bathtub. He suggested she had fallen, but investigators found evidence that did not fit his account. The bathroom floor was dry, and Shanti’s injuries pointed to something far more serious than an accident.
Shanti was a successful consultant and a devoted mother who had spent years helping fund a renovation that never seemed to end. As the main house became unlivable, she and her son, Jackson, moved into a cramped apartment above the garage. Meanwhile, David hoped an appearance on Zombie House Flipping could help rescue the project. Investigators soon learned that the unfinished house was only part of the trouble in their marriage.
This week, Mandy and Melissa follow the investigation into Shanti’s murder, the conflicting accounts of the couple’s life together, and the evidence that brought David to trial more than five years later. Through it all, they remember the hardworking mother whose son was left to grow up without her.

Notes de l’épisode
Milton Sawyer was a familiar face in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The 55 year old father of three owned The Treasure Hunter, an antique and collectible shop where he knew his customers and loved finding something worth keeping. At home, he and his wife, Angel Sawyer, were raising a blended family of seven children.
In the early hours of August 2, 2018, Angel appeared at a neighbor’s door with a head injury and duct tape still attached to her wrist. She said a masked intruder had entered their home, demanded money, and attacked them both. Officers found Milton dead on the bathroom floor, and the ransacked bedroom seemed to support her account of a robbery.
But details about the intruder’s access to the house raised questions, and investigators began hearing about a relationship Angel had kept hidden. In this episode, we follow the supposed home invasion, the inconsistencies detectives uncovered, and the unexpected call from Oregon that helped expose what happened to Milton.

Notes de l’épisode
Before we begin our bonus coverage of the three part documentary CTRL+ALT+DESIRE, we’re revisiting our original 2019 episode about Grant Amato. Whether you’re hearing this case for the first time or need a refresher, this episode gives you the background before our documentary discussions begin.
In January 2019, Cody Amato failed to show up for work at an Orlando hospital. A welfare check at his family’s home in Chuluota, Florida, led deputies to discover that Cody and his parents, Chad Amato and Margaret Amato, had been killed. His younger brother, Grant, was missing. The investigation revealed months of stolen money, an online relationship with a webcam model in Bulgaria, and a family’s attempts to get Grant help. We follow the events leading up to the murders, his police interviews, and the evidence presented at trial.
We’ll be discussing the documentary over the coming weeks on Patreon and our subscriber feeds on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Listen here first, then join us for the documentary coverage.

Notes de l’épisode
Tyler Nulisch loved his life in the Florida Keys, especially days on the water with his dog, Chief. At 30, he was restoring a boat and working toward starting a fishing charter business. He was also building a life with his girlfriend, Brittany Holbrook, though his longtime friends had begun to worry about what they were seeing in the relationship.
Early on June 17, 2023, the couple’s roommate woke to Brittany screaming for help. He found Tyler bleeding on the living room floor of their Big Coppitt Key home. Brittany initially said she could not remember what happened, but Tyler was still able to speak. What he told his roommate became central to the investigation.
In this episode, we follow Tyler’s life, the accounts his friends shared with detectives, and the evidence presented at Brittany’s 2025 murder trial. We also discuss her claim of self defense and the warning signs that people close to Tyler remembered after his death.

[Florida Files] The Frostproof Fishing Murders: A Receipt at the Scene

Notes de l’épisode
On July 17, 2020, Brandon Rollins, Keven Springfield, and Damion Tillman met near Lake Streety Road in Frostproof, Florida, for a night of fishing. Later that evening, Brandon called his father, Cyril Rollins, and pleaded for help. When Cyril arrived, he found all three friends had been shot.
A receipt left at the scene led investigators back to a Dollar General and surveillance footage from earlier that evening. As detectives pieced together the group’s movements, they focused on a dispute involving a truck engine, a remote road, and the evidence left behind after the shootings.
In this episode, we follow the Frostproof triple murder investigation, the years of delays that kept the victims’ families waiting, and the trial that finally took place in 2026. Tony “TJ” Wiggins was convicted of three counts of first degree murder and sentenced to three consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole.

Notes de l’épisode
In November 1928, Nelson Rehmeyer was killed inside his farmhouse in southern York County, Pennsylvania. He was a farmer and a practitioner of powwowing, a Pennsylvania German healing tradition that used prayers, scripture, and folk remedies.
John Blymire believed a hex was responsible for years of illness, sleeplessness, and bad luck. After a woman told him Nelson was the person behind it, John became convinced that he needed Nelson’s copy of The Long Lost Friend or a lock of his hair to break the curse. He recruited 14 year old John Curry and 18 year old Wilbert Hess, and the three went to Nelson’s home looking for a way to end the supposed hex.
In this episode, we follow the murder at what became known as Hex Hollow, the beliefs and rumors surrounding the case, and the trials that followed. All three men were convicted of murder, but the story that survived in newspapers and local folklore often obscured the person Nelson was before his death.

The Halderson Murders: The Lies That Led to Murder

Notes de l’épisode
On July 2, 2021, Krista Halderson did not show up for work. When a friend went to her Windsor, Wisconsin, home to check on her, Krista and her husband, Bart Halderson, were both gone, but their cars were still in the garage. Their son, Chandler Halderson, said they had left for the family cabin with friends, but he could not say who had taken them there.
As the holiday weekend passed, the cabin trip made less and less sense. Investigators found that Chandler’s story was only one part of a much larger pattern involving college records, a job he never had, a planned move to Florida, and a series of explanations that fell apart under scrutiny.
In this episode, we follow the disappearance of Bart and Krista, the evidence that led investigators to two separate locations, and the case that went to trial. Chandler was convicted in 2022 and is serving two life sentences without eligibility for release. His remaining convictions were affirmed on appeal, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court declined review in June 2026.

Notes de l’épisode
In the woods of northwest Georgia, Dr. Charles Lee Scudder and Joseph “Joey” Odom built an off grid home unlike anything their neighbors had seen. There was stained glass, a golden harp, a pink gargoyle, and a reputation that grew stranger with every rumor told about the place they called Corpsewood Manor.
On December 12, 1982, two men Charles and Joey had welcomed onto the property arrived with a plan to rob them. What happened next left Charles and Joey dead inside the home they had spent years building, sent two teenage witnesses fleeing in fear, and led to another murder across state lines.
In this episode, we follow the real story behind Corpsewood Manor, the rumors that surrounded it, and the violence that turned an unusual home in the Georgia woods into a lasting piece of true crime folklore.

In this episode, we review Faith’s final night, the evidence investigators collected, the years long investigation, and the case now being presented to a jury. It is a full catch up for anyone starting to follow the trial now.

We have a shorter spooky season story for your Friday. In 1977, firefighters found Teresita Basa murdered in her Chicago apartment, but months passed without an arrest.
Then a doctor told police that his wife had entered a trance and spoken in a voice that identified itself as Teresita. Detectives could not verify that explanation, but they could investigate what the voice claimed to know. The lead took them back to Edgewater Hospital and helped uncover evidence in a case that still raises questions nearly 50 years later.

On May 12, 2018, Joleen Cummings finished a shift at the Tangles Hair Salon in Fernandina Beach, Florida. The 34 year old mother of three was supposed to pick up her children the next day for Mother’s Day and her birthday, but she never arrived.
When Joleen’s SUV was found abandoned near a Home Depot, surveillance footage pointed investigators toward a new coworker. But the woman Joleen knew as Jennifer Sybert was not who she said she was. As detectives followed the trail, they uncovered false names, a stolen identity, and a history that stretched across states.
In this episode, we follow the search for Joleen, the evidence left behind at the salon, and the questions that remain years later.

Notes de l’épisode
When Sandra Birchmore was 12, she joined a Stoughton, Massachusetts police youth program because she hoped to become an officer herself. What began as trust in the adults around her became the basis for years of alleged exploitation by men connected to the program.
In 2021, Sandra was found dead in her Canton apartment while pregnant with her first child. Her death was initially ruled a suicide. Federal prosecutors now allege that former Stoughton Police Officer Matthew Farwell, who had known Sandra through the Police Explorers program, strangled her and staged the scene to look like a suicide. They allege he did so to prevent Sandra from disclosing information about his conduct to law enforcement.
As of October 7, 2026, jury selection is underway in Matthew's federal trial. He has pleaded not guilty, and his defense maintains that Sandra died by suicide. In this episode, we trace Sandra's life, the Police Explorers program, the original investigation, and the case now being argued in federal court.

Notes de l’épisode
In 1983, Sam and Judith Haney were preparing to install a swimming pool behind their home in the Newport subdivision of Crosby, Texas, when they uncovered two human graves. The discovery led them to the Black Hope Addition Graveyard, a largely forgotten African American cemetery whose boundaries and burial records had faded from public view. Court records later confirmed that Purcell Company, Inc.'s field superintendent had been warned about a possible grave during construction and had ordered the marked area cleared.
After the graves were found, the Haneys and other Newport residents began sharing unsettling accounts of unexplained noises, flickering appliances, shadows, and an overwhelming feeling that something was wrong in their homes. Those reports remain personal accounts, not independently verifiable findings. We follow the documented discovery, the neighborhood's haunting stories, and the legal battle that reached the Texas Supreme Court, while considering what it means when a community's lost burial ground is rediscovered beneath a new neighborhood.

Notes de l’épisode
This is a new follow up to last week’s episode on Ashley Flynn’s death. We cover the trial of her husband, Caleb Flynn. Prosecutors argued that Caleb staged a home invasion after killing Ashley, while the defense maintained the state had built a circumstantial case around an affair, with no recovered murder weapon, eyewitness, or gunshot residue evidence.
Over eight days of proceedings, the jury heard testimony about the garage door, the missing 9 mm handgun, phone and Apple Watch data, and more than 107,000 messages between Caleb and Alleigha Botner. On September 29, 2026, the jury found Caleb guilty on all nine felony counts and the firearm specifications. Sentencing is scheduled for October 5, and the defense has indicated it intends to appeal.

Notes de l’épisode
In late 2019, 69 year old Patricia Bennett suddenly stopped answering calls from her family. Messages continued coming from her phone, but her grandson John knew something was wrong. The wording did not sound like Patricia, and no matter how often he asked, he could not hear her voice.
As police checked the shifting stories told by Patricia’s daughter, Carol Rey, the lies began to unravel. Patricia was not at her sister’s house or at the doctor’s office, and her phone was found hidden inside the home. We cover Patricia’s disappearance, John’s persistence, and the investigation that revealed what had happened to her.

Notes de l’épisode
From the archive, we are revisiting the disappearance of former NBA player Bison Dele.In July 2002, Bison Dele, his girlfriend Serena Karlan, and boat captain Bertrand Saldo vanished while sailing through the South Pacific. Bison’s older brother, Miles Dabord, was the only person to return from the trip. When he arrived in Tahiti, Bison’s catamaran had been repainted and renamed.
As investigators searched for answers, they uncovered evidence that someone had been using Bison’s identity after he disappeared. Authorities came to believe Miles was responsible for the deaths of Bison, Serena, and Bertrand, but he died later that year before the case could ever be resolved in court. No bodies were found, and what happened aboard that boat remains a mystery.

Notes de l’épisode
In June 1994, Vickie Beckham dropped her three children off for a visit with their father and was supposed to go to work. Hours later, she was found dead behind the wheel of her car in a ditch along a rural South Carolina road. Her vehicle had barely any damage, but Vickie had catastrophic injuries that could not be explained by a crash.
Investigators quickly realized someone had tried to stage Vickie's death as an accident. More than a year later, an arrest brought police a detailed account of an alleged murder for hire plot involving Vickie's estranged husband, Stephen Beckham, and Richard Anderson. We follow the investigation, the evidence presented at trial, and the convictions that followed.

Notes de l’épisode
In February 2026, Ashley Flynn was fatally shot inside her Tipp City, Ohio, home while her two young daughters slept nearby. Her husband, former worship pastor Caleb Flynn, called 911 and said an intruder had broken in, taken a gun from his truck, and shot Ashley.
Investigators soon questioned whether the scene matched that account. Caleb was later charged with aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, tampering with evidence, and witness intimidation. Prosecutors allege Ashley's death was planned and that the scene was staged to look like a burglary. Caleb has pleaded not guilty, and the charges have not been proven.
We tell Ashley's story and follow the murder trial now underway, including the evidence and testimony the jury is hearing for the first time.

Former plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski is currently on trial in Florida for the 2023 disappearance and alleged murder of attorney Steven Cozzi. Steven represented defendants in a civil lawsuit Tomasz had filed, and prosecutors allege Tomasz became increasingly angry with the case before planning the attack.
Steven vanished from the Largo law office where he worked, leaving his wallet, keys, and phone behind. His body has never been found. Prosecutors say surveillance footage, phone data, and forensic evidence connect Tomasz to the crime. Tomasz has pleaded not guilty, is representing himself in a bench trial, and a judge will decide the case.

Notes de l’épisode
On March 24, 2013, Aliza Sherman went to downtown Cleveland to meet with Gregory Moore, the attorney handling her contentious divorce. She arrived early, waited outside his locked office building, and exchanged messages with him. Minutes later, Aliza was attacked and fatally stabbed.
For more than a decade, her murder remained unsolved. In 2025, a grand jury indicted Moore, Aliza's former divorce attorney, on charges including aggravated murder, conspiracy, murder, and kidnapping. Prosecutors allege he deceived Aliza into waiting outside the office and either participated in or arranged the attack. Moore has pleaded not guilty, and the charges have not been proven. We examine the suspicious messages, the missing evidence, the years of unanswered questions, and the case that is now moving through the courts.

Austin Kanuch: The Mountain Bike Clue in a Targeted Murder

Notes de l’épisode
On September 21, 2023, Austin Kanuch and his wife closed on a new home where they planned to raise their family. Before they could move, someone entered their rental home in the early morning hours, attacked Austin in his bedroom, and left his wife Mary and their young son physically unharmed.
Investigators believe Austin was targeted. Nothing was stolen, no one else in the house was injured, and detectives found no known conflict in Austin's work, relationships, or personal life that explains why someone would want him dead. Nearly two years later, surveillance video showed an unidentified person arriving at Austin's street on a mountain bike shortly before the attack and leaving again afterward. The rider's face is not visible, but investigators believe someone may recognize the route, the bike, or the person.
Austin was a devoted father of three, husband, son, friend, singer, car enthusiast, and barbecue fanatic. Nearly three years later, his murder remains unsolved, and up to $40,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest. We share Austin's story and the questions his family still needs answered.

Judge Kevin Mullins: The Silent Video and the Sheriff Who Shot Him

Notes de l’épisode
On September 19, 2024, Letcher County District Judge Kevin Mullins and Sheriff Shawn “Mickey” Stines ate lunch together in Whitesburg, Kentucky, then walked back to the courthouse for a private conversation in the judge's chambers. Nearly 10 minutes later, surveillance video showed Stines pull out his gun and shoot Mullins. The video has no audio, leaving the central question unanswered: what was said in that room before the shooting?
Stines surrendered at the courthouse and is charged with murder of a public official. He has pleaded not guilty. His defense is expected to focus on his mental condition in the days surrounding the killing, including reports that he had not slept, had become paranoid about his family, and appeared to be in crisis. We also address the online rumor involving Stines's daughter, why the facts do not support it, and the federal civil lawsuit involving a former deputy whose crimes had been connected to Mullins's chambers.
The shooting was captured on camera. The man accused of firing the gun was identified immediately. But with no audio, a pending trial, and a motive that has not been publicly established, Kevin Mullins's family and a small Kentucky community are still waiting for answers.

The Chicago Strangler Cases: The Unforgotten 51

Notes de l’épisode
Between 2001 and 2017, at least 75 women were strangled or smothered in Chicago. Many were found in alleys, vacant buildings, garbage cans, and other places where it was easy for their deaths to become separate case files instead of a citywide emergency. The women were daughters, mothers, artists, business owners, caregivers, and friends. Their names included Angela Ford, Gwendolyn Williams, Nancy Walker, Margaret Gomez, Teresa Bunn, Hazel Lewis, and Rio Renee Holyfield.
In 2018, the Chicago Tribune identified 75 women whose cases showed a devastating pattern. 25 cases had been closed, while more than two thirds remained unsolved. Families and advocates had long questioned whether some of the murders were connected. The term "Chicago Strangler" became shorthand for those fears, but Chicago police have said there is no evidence that one person killed every woman in the group. The available evidence points to an even more difficult possibility: some cases may be linked, some may involve multiple offenders, and far too many families are still waiting for answers.
We discuss the women at the heart of these cases, the investigation that revealed the scale of the failures, and the work advocates continue to do to make sure they are not forgotten.

Notes de l’épisode
In June 2006, 24 year old Lori Ann Slesinski left an Auburn Walmart to pick up drink mixes before a night at her best friend’s house. She never arrived. Days later, her Yorkshire Terrier, Peanut, was found safe in her mobile home, but Lori was gone. Her kitchen rugs and telephone cord were missing, the answering machine messages had disappeared, and her Mazda was later found burned on a secluded Auburn street.
Lori’s friend Derrill Richard Ennis, known as Rick, was the last person known to be with her. He claimed she had left to make a drug deal, but police found nothing to support that story. The case went cold for years, even as questions remained about the evidence inside Lori’s home and near her burned vehicle.
Sixteen years later, investigators rebuilt the case without Lori’s body. A jury ultimately found Derrill guilty of capital murder, but Lori’s remains have never been recovered. We cover Lori’s disappearance, the cold case investigation, and the trial that brought her family a measure of justice.

Notes de l’épisode
Today, we’re replaying our 2024 episode about Emma Compton Layne, a woman remembered by the people who loved her for her generous heart, her contagious joy, and the way she always showed up for her family. Emma disappeared in June 2017 after working at her store in Halifax County, Virginia. Months later, her remains were found, leaving her loved ones with years of grief and unanswered questions.
Since we first shared Emma’s story, there has been a significant development in the case. In November 2024, Emma’s husband, Russell Wayne Layne, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death. As this episode is re-released, his trial is underway. We’re revisiting Emma’s case because she deserves to be remembered not only for what happened to her, but for the life she lived and the love she gave so freely. Our hearts are with Emma’s family and everyone who continues to carry her memory through this difficult time.

The Murder of Peggy Carr: Poisoned Coca-Cola and the Neighbor Next Door

Notes de l’épisode
In the fall of 1988, Peggy Carr, her son Duane Dubberly, and her stepson Travis Carr became violently ill inside their rural Florida home. The symptoms were strange and terrifying: severe nerve pain, numbness, weakness, trouble walking, and eventually, hair loss. Doctors discovered they had been exposed to thallium, a rare and deadly heavy metal.
The source was even more disturbing. Someone had carefully opened glass bottles of Coca-Cola, added thallium, resealed the caps, and placed the bottles inside the Carr home. Peggy died after spending more than four months in a coma. Six other members of the household were also poisoned, including a young child.
The investigation pointed to George Trepal, the Carr family's next-door neighbor. He had chemistry knowledge, a history of disputes with the family, and a bottle-capping machine in his garage. We cover the poisoning, the undercover operation that gave investigators access to Trepal's home, the trial, and the later questions about FBI testimony that did not overturn his conviction.

The Murder of Alex Pennig: Behind the Locked Bathroom Door

Notes de l’épisode
When 32-year-old nurse Alex Pennig was found dead inside the bathroom of her St. Paul apartment, the man who called 911, Matthew Ecker, insisted she had taken her own life behind a locked door. Alex had struggled with depression and addiction in the past, and at first, there were details that seemed to support his story. But the scene inside the bathroom told a much more complicated story.

Investigators found a strangely clean gun resting on Alex’s chest, almost no blood on Matthew despite his claims that he had tried to save her, and a bathroom door that didn’t seem to fit his version of events. Matthew’s explanation of what happened also began to change. Then, underneath Alex’s head, investigators discovered a tiny piece of metal from the bathroom door’s locking mechanism, which was the evidence they believed showed the door had been forced open before Alex was shot.

We cover Alex’s life and the struggles she worked so hard to overcome, her complicated relationship with Matthew, the final hours before her death, the inconsistencies investigators found inside her apartment, and the small piece of evidence that helped reveal what really happened behind that bathroom door.

Notes de l’épisode
On September 14, 2007, 14-year-old Andrew Gosden left his home in Doncaster dressed for school. After his family left for the day, he returned home, changed out of his uniform, withdrew £200 from his bank account, and bought a one-way ticket to London.
Andrew arrived at King’s Cross Station at 11:20 that morning. CCTV captured him walking out of the station alone five minutes later. That is the last confirmed image of him. Nearly 19 years later, his family still does not know why he went to London or what happened after he arrived.
We cover Andrew’s life, the carefully planned trip, the missed opportunities in the early investigation, the possible sightings, and the questions that remain in one of the United Kingdom’s most enduring missing person cases.

Notes de l’épisode
For months, Harold Allen suffered from worsening illnesses that doctors could not fully explain. When he died in Freetown, Indiana, just days before Christmas 2022, his death was attributed to serious cardiac problems. His family believed they had lost him to a sudden decline in his health.
Nine months later, a burglary at the home of Harold’s widow, Marsha Allen, gave investigators a reason to look again. What began as a break in led detectives to thousands of text messages between Marsha and her daughter, Ashley Jones, and evidence of a poisoning plot that included a root beer float. In 2025, Ashley pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder and was sentenced to 50 years in prison. Marsha died before she was charged.
We cover Harold’s life, the illnesses that were not what they seemed, the burglary that changed the investigation, and the evidence that finally explained what happened.
