Show Notes
#329 - In July of 2015, thousands of people gathered along the river for a weekend of music, camping, and wakeboarding. The annual event known as WakeFest was supposed to be a carefree summer getaway, a place where friends could relax, drink, and enjoy the water.
But by the end of that weekend, one of the campers would be dead.
Twenty-one-year-old Lauren Agee had been camping on a steep cliff overlooking the river with friends she trusted. Sometime during the night, she disappeared from the campsite.
Hours later, her body was discovered hundreds of feet below in the water.
At first, investigators believed it was a tragic accident, that Lauren had fallen from the cliff in the dark.
But when her family began asking questions, they uncovered troubling details that didn’t seem to add up. Injuries that appeared inconsistent with a simple fall. A chaotic campsite. Conflicting witness statements. And a crime scene that many believe was never properly investigated.
More than a decade later, the circumstances surrounding Lauren’s death remain fiercely debated.
Was it truly an accident?
Or did something far more sinister happen on that cliff that night?

#355 - In 2015, healthy 60-year-old chiropractor Mary Yoder suddenly became violently ill and died less than 48 hours later. Toxicology revealed that she had been poisoned with colchicine, but identifying who gave it to her would divide her family and community for years. A suspicious letter, a bottle hidden inside her son’s Jeep, conflicting digital evidence, and touch DNA eventually led investigators to his ex-girlfriend, Katie Conley. But after two trials, a conviction, and its eventual reversal, one question remains: Who really poisoned Mary Yoder?
#354 - When 74-year-old Bill and Peggy Stephenson failed to attend church on Memorial Day weekend in 2011, their family immediately knew something was wrong. Inside their secluded Kentucky condo, investigators discovered a brutal double murder and one of the strangest staged crime scenes they had ever encountered. More than 15 years later, unknown DNA, a partial fingerprint, and disturbing evidence withheld from the public have yet to reveal who killed the beloved couple or why.
#353 - Five long weeks after a 16-year-old girl is brutally murdered, a chilling letter arrives on a police desk. The arrogant killer boasts about wearing a plastic Halloween mask and details exactly how he strangled her. He ends with a chilling promise to the investigators: “You will never get me.” For more than 25 years, he was right… He disappeared into the crowd, completely undetected. But he didn’t realize he left behind a microscopic witness that would eventually hunt him down.
#352 - Four children from the same family died suddenly before reaching their second birthdays. To investigators, the pattern seemed too extraordinary to be natural. And when their mother’s private diaries appeared to contain admissions of guilt, she was branded Australia’s worst female serial killer. But there were no witnesses. No physical evidence of smothering. And no one could explain exactly how the children had died. Then, decades later, advances in genetic testing uncovered something that no one involved in the original investigation could have known.
