In this episode, we cover the murder of Maria Marten- a woman who disappeared in the Spring of 1827 after leaving with her fiancé, William Corder, to elope to the nearby town of Ipswich, England. They’d met up at a location known as “The Red Barn”, but after leaving together that day, Maria was never seen again. For months, William insisted she was fine and provided excuses why nobody had seen or heard from her. Her mother Ann began to have dreams that Maria’s body was hidden somewhere in the Red Barn, and when it was finally searched eleven months later, Ann was proven right. William was arrested just two days later and hanged for Maria’s murder.

In this episode, we examine the highly suspicious death of Jim Potts- a private investigator who was looking into a series of allegations of misconduct against the Galena, Kansas police department. Jim had expressed concerns for his safety in the months leading up to his death. Then, in the early morning hours of August 26th, 2003, his body was discovered - with a bullet wound to the back of the dead - lying on the side of the road right outside Galena. When police immediately ruled Jim’s death a suicide and closed the case with no investigation, Jim’s family and many in the community became convinced Jim had been murdered, and local law enforcement was actively covering it up.

In this mini we discuss what is perhaps the worst music festival ever. From poor planning to over crowding to half the bands bailing last minute, the three day event started out badly and only got worse. By the time it was over, the venue was buried in garbage, the stage was burned, and two people were dead. So buckle up as we dissect the utter failure that was the Eerie Canal Soda Pop Festival.

In 2011, police in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, were investigating a disturbing series of desecrated graves. But when investigators finally followed the trail to the apartment of Anatoly Moskvin, a respected historian and linguist with an unusual fascination with cemeteries, they discovered something far more disturbing than anyone could have imagined.
Inside the apartment were life-sized dolls, dressed in children's clothing and carefully arranged throughout the rooms. But these weren't dolls. They were the mummified remains of children whose bodies Moskvin had removed from their graves and brought home.
