In August 2018, a passerby driving through St. Lucie County, Florida, noticed something out of place in a roadside drainage ditch. What they initially thought was a discarded bag was actually 23-year-old Tania Wise. She was face down, her hand still clutching the grass—a silent testament to her final moments.

Tania wasn't alone. She was eight and a half months pregnant, just days away from bringing a son named Josiah into the world. Today, we unravel the "in-depth and devious" plan of Jose Soto-Escalera, a man who chose murder to protect a lie.

On Sunday, August 4, 2002, in the quiet village of Soham, Cambridgeshire, two best friends—10-year-olds Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman—were enjoying a family barbecue. In a photograph taken that afternoon, they stand side-by-side, smiling, both wearing identical red Manchester United shirts.

It is perhaps the most famous "last photo" in criminal history. Moments after it was taken, the girls walked out of the house to buy sweets, and they never came back. Today, we look at a case that changed UK law and exposed a monster hiding in plain sight.

On February 1, 2022, Danielle Hoyle was living the most transformative week of her life. She was 27 years old and had just given birth to a beautiful daughter, Kennedy, only 48 hours earlier. But that night, in the Whitehaven neighborhood of Memphis, a celebration of new life turned into a nightmare that would haunt the city.

A car found abandoned with a shattered window. A young mother gone. And a two-day-old baby missing in the winter cold. Today, we cover the trial and the truth behind Brandon Isabelle.

December 2010 in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, was supposed to be a time of holiday preparation. But for the family of 12-year-old Tia Rigg, the festive season ended before it began. Tia was a girl described as full of life, often seen with her signature checked ribbons in her hair. She was a daughter, a sister, and a student with her whole life ahead of her.

Today, we look into a case that shocked the UK—not just because of the age of the victim, but because of the person responsible for the unthinkable.

The sudden passing of Masaccio remains one of the art world’s earliest and most enduring "cold cases." In 1428, the visionary painter—who had effectively revolutionized the Renaissance with his mastery of perspective—left Florence for Rome, only to vanish from the historical record at the age of 26. His death was so abrupt that it left his contemporaries in shock; the great architect Brunelleschi famously lamented, "We have suffered a great loss." Because Masaccio was in his physical prime and possessed a talent that threatened the status of every other artist in Italy, rumors of foul play spread almost immediately. The primary theory suggests that he was poisoned by a jealous rival, a common suspicion in an era where professional competition was cutthroat and toxicology was primitive. While some historians point to the plague or generic "fever" as the culprit, the lack of a recorded burial site and the sheer convenience of his disappearance for his competitors have fueled centuries of speculation that Masaccio was silenced by a peer who couldn't hope to match his genius.

This episode discusses a part America's population glorifying killers. It as well discusses certain systems and stupid people in certain parts of America, getting rid of them would benefit us. I am an anarchist. <3

On May 30, 2020, Yasmine Jackson—the 25-year-old granddaughter of Joe Jackson and niece of Michael Jackson—was the victim of a brutal, racially motivated stabbing in Las Vegas, Nevada. While walking near her home, Jackson was chased down by somebody she did not know, identified as Angela Bonell, who allegedly shouted racial slurs throughout the pursuit. When Bonell caught her, she stabbed Jackson seven times, inflicting severe lacerations to her face, neck, and ears. Jackson later shared graphic photos of her injuries on social media, testifying that she feared for her life while witnesses initially stood by and recorded the incident rather than intervening. Eventually, a group of bystanders stepped in to pull the attacker away until police arrived.

In the early morning hours of March 6, 2025, Sudiksha Konanki, a 20-year-old pre-med student at the University of Pittsburgh, vanished while on a spring break trip at the Hotel Riu República in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. During a resort-wide power outage at approximately 4:15 a.m., surveillance footage captured Sudiksha walking toward the beach with a group of friends and a 22-year-old student named Joshua Riibe. While the rest of the group returned to their rooms, Sudiksha and Riibe remained on the shore. Riibe, who returned to the hotel alone hours later, claimed the two went for a swim and were struck by a large wave; he stated he lost sight of her in the rough water while he was incapacitated by swallowing seawater. Despite an extensive search involving the FBI and local authorities, only Sudiksha’s personal belongings were found on a beach chair. While her disappearance remains a haunting mystery fueled by social media speculation and conflicting witness accounts, her family ultimately sought to have her declared legally dead, believing she tragically drowned.
