What really happened to journalist Danny Casolaro?

In this episode of Unsolved Cases by Skoob, host Larry Hunter investigates The Octopus Murders — one of the most disturbing and unresolved conspiracy cases in modern American history. Casolaro was found dead in a West Virginia hotel room in 1991, just as he claimed to be on the verge of exposing a massive network of corruption involving government agencies, stolen surveillance software (PROMIS), intelligence operations, organized crime, and international arms deals.

Officially ruled a suicide, the evidence tells a far darker story. Missing research files. Threatening phone calls. Deep, suspicious wounds. And powerful figures who may have had everything to lose if Casolaro revealed the truth.

Was Danny Casolaro silenced for uncovering the Octopus conspiracy — or was his death a tragic coincidence? This deep dive explores the facts, the unanswered questions, and why this case still haunts investigative journalism today.

In this gripping true-crime deep dive, we uncover one of America’s most heartbreaking and influential missing-child cases — the disappearance of six-year-old Etan Patz, the boy whose vanishing changed the nation forever.

From that quiet SoHo morning in 1979 to the massive NYPD search, shifting suspects, controversial confessions, and the overturned conviction nearly four decades later — this episode explores every twist, every shadow, and every unanswered question behind a case that shaped modern child-safety laws and created the national “stranger danger” panic.

Why did investigators focus on multiple suspects?

Was Pedro Hernandez’s confession real — or a tragic false memory?

And after 46 years, does America truly know what happened to Etan Patz?

Dive into the story that still haunts parents, detectives, and legal experts across the country.

The disappearance of Ana Walshe shocked America — a mother of three who vanished on New Year’s Day under the darkest and most disturbing circumstances. In this gripping true-crime investigation, we break down the chilling timeline, the explosive evidence, and the unraveling lies that turned Brian Walshe from a concerned husband into the prime suspect.

From suspicious internet searches and secret financial motives to blood evidence, missing timelines, and a marriage collapsing under violence and paranoia, this episode dives deep into the case that left investigators stunned and the nation searching for answers.

Was Ana planning to leave? Did Brian act out of rage, fear, or premeditation? And why was the cover-up so sloppy if this was planned?

We examine every angle — the motive, the psychology, the digital trail, and the unanswered questions that still haunt this case.
