Show Notes
At 5:38 p.m. on Saturday, February 2, 2008, a message arrived on a BlackBerry belonging to a young real estate agent in British Columbia. It was from her boyfriend. He wanted her to know he was on his way.
The message went unread.
Three minutes later, at approximately 5:41, her phone placed an outgoing call. Police would later believe the call had been made accidentally, possibly as she struggled against the person or persons attacking her.
The young woman was twenty-four-year-old Lindsay Buziak.
She had arrived at a vacant house to meet prospective buyers. It was a routine showing with nothing out of the ordinary. But the people who had arranged to meet her weren't there to buy a house, and Lindsay had no idea what was waiting for her behind that front door.
The showing had been arranged in advance. The appointment was deliberate, and the people Lindsay had gone there to meet had disappeared without a trace.
Join Cam and Jen on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast entitled ‘Lured: The Murder of Lindsay Buziak.’

After a quiet Halloween gathering on a 100-acre rural property, Sunday morning brought a terrifying discovery that left police stunned and a small town devastated. When sixteen-year-old Devon Griffin walked back into his house on State Road 2, he expected a quiet afternoon playing video games. Instead, he stepped into the aftermath of a ruthless crime that no one could ever prepare for.
In this special October crossover episode, our good friend Brandon from Southern Gothic joins us from the Manchac Swamp to separate swamp legends from real history.
New Bedford, Massachusetts, is famous for its busy fishing ports and rich history. But in the late 1980s, a massive wave of heroin and crack cocaine hit the city. With very little help available for drug addiction, many people found themselves trapped. Unfortunately, this made them easy targets for a dangerous killer.
The cellphone was lying near Rachael Koloroutis. At 3:12 that afternoon, she had tried to call 911. But help never reached her in time.
Thank you to Riley for suggesting this episode!
