Show Notes
An eight-year-old girl stops going to school.
No one reports her missing for nearly three weeks.
Not the shelter. Not the school. Not even her own family.
In 2014, Relisha Rudd vanished from a Washington, D.C. family shelter. The only adult who claimed to know where she was turned out not to be a doctor, but a shelter janitor.
Days later, his wife was found murdered. Weeks later, he was found dead in a park. Relisha has never been found.
In today's first Unsolved Tuesday episode, Kaelyn Moore and Morgan Absher examine the surveillance footage, the hotel sightings, the trash bag purchase, and the systemic failures that may have cost a little girl her life.

Five students were brutally murdered. Their killer wanted fame...and he got it. In today's second Killer of the Week episode, Vanessa Richardson and Dr. Tristin Engels unpack Danny Rolling’s disturbing mental state, the forensic evidence that sealed his fate, and the trial that turned a killer into a twisted horror icon.
Before he became the “Gainesville Ripper,” Danny Rolling was a broken child in a violent home, and the demons inside him were only just beginning to stir. In today's first Killer of the Week episode, Vanessa Richardson and Dr. Tristin Engels uncover the early life of the serial killer who inspired the horror movie "Scream," tracing the trauma, addiction, and dark fantasies that pushed him toward his first kill.
Something has crept into this feed…For Halloween, Serial Killers & Murderous Minds has slipped through the walls to haunt your feed with an episode just for you.
Join us for the fifth and final episode of the Crime House of Horrors Limited Series, and Vanessa Richardson tells you all about the Cabin in the Woods, a 2012 horror film about five college students sent to a remote cabin...but the underground facility managing their deaths is built from real history. From Aztec human sacrifice and sleeping-god mythology to the CIA's MKUltra program and Stanley Milgram's obedience experiments, every gear in the film's machine has a true-world counterpart. This episode traces those connections and asks what it means that audiences keep demanding the same sacrificial story, told the same way, forever.
