    385. Catfished: Romeoville Family Murders

    *Wanna go on an Adventure? Important Announcement below*

    In April 2023, Alberto Rolón and Zoraida Bartolomei unlocked the door to their first home in Romeoville, Illinois. They’d worked opposite shifts while raising their sons, Adriel and Diego, and now the boys had a backyard of their own.

    Five months later, police were called to the house on Concord Avenue. What they found inside left the neighborhood grieving. As detectives pieced together what happened, they uncovered a trail of threatening messages. The threats sounded real. The people behind them were harder to pin down.

    A Voice For Jacob: Speaking For The Silent

    In this episode Jen and Cam talk to Eric Carter-Landin, host of True Consequences. Eric shares the heartbreaking story of his nine-month-old brother, Jacob, who was tragically killed in 1987 in Socorro, New Mexico. Unlike most cold cases where no one knows who committed the crime, Jacob’s family has spent decades asking one painful question: why was the main suspect never arrested or charged?

    Join us as Eric talks about Jacob’s bright personality, the frustrating police mistakes that stalled the case, and how he turned his grief into action. Through his podcast True Consequences and his non-profit event Advocacy Conferece, Eric gives families of missing and murdered loved ones a safe, supportive space to seek justice.

    If you would like to help send families of missing and unsolved case victims to the conference, fully covered: admission for two, two nights' hotel stay, and meals. You can donate HERE.

    You can also make a donation to Angels Voices Silenced No More. Your donation directly helps families of missing and murdered loved ones in New Mexico access vital support, from private investigations, billboards, and DNA testing to funeral costs and therapy, giving them the tools they need to seek justice and heal.

    384. Under the Pine: The Murder of Martha Moxley

    On October 30, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley went out for a night of fun with her friends. They were playing harmless Halloween pranks in their wealthy, gated neighborhood of Belle Haven in Greenwich, Connecticut. Martha was popular, friendly, and happy. But the very next afternoon, her body was found under a pine tree in her own backyard. Someone had beaten and stabbed her with a golf club that belonged to her rich next-door neighbors, the Skakel family.

    On a street where everyone knew everyone, a brutal murder shattered the illusion of safety. Was it a tragic act of teenage rage, or did wealth and power buy decades of silence?

    383. Silenced: Murder of Maryann Measles

    In the summer of 1997, thirteen-year-old Maryann Measles was spending time with an older crowd in New Milford, Connecticut. Her mother, Cyndi, didn’t like it, and she especially didn’t like the attention Keith Foster was giving her daughter.

    He called Maryann pretty. He gave her a rose. But Foster wasn’t a boy from school. Cyndi had already warned him to stay away. But the danger went beyond one man. Around Maryann was a circle of people she knew, people who would have opportunities to make a different choice.

    When Maryann spoke up, they had something to lose.

    She told the truth. They decided to silence her.

    382. The Unraveling: The Liske Family Murders

    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.

    381. Lured: The Murder of Lindsay Buziak

    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.

    The Curse of Julia Brown with Brandon from Southern Gothic

    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. In September 1915, a violent hurricane hit Southeast Louisiana, killing nearly 375 people, destroying entire towns, and wiping the small farming community of Frenier off the map. In the disaster's wake, a story spread among locals that the curse of Julia Brown, a local Voodoo priestess, brought on the terrible storm.

    Brandon tells us about Julia Brown's real life, the tragic story of the 1915 hurricane, and how a devastating disaster became one of the South's most famous ghost stories. Don't forget to subscribe to Southern Gothic. Available wherever you listen to podcasts.

    380. Left By The Wayside: The New Bedford Highway Killer

    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.

    Between May 1988 and April 1989, several women, most of them mothers struggling with addiction, disappeared. Their bodies were later found dumped along local highways like Route 140 and Interstate 195. Even though police investigated several main suspects, including a local lawyer, the case was never solved and went cold.

    Join Jen and Cam, as they uncover the mystery: Left By The Wayside: The New Bedford Killer.

    The book Jen talks about in this episode is: Shallow Graves: The Hunt for the New Bedford Highway Serial Killer by Maureen Boyle

    379. From Miss Irresistible to Murder:Christine Paolilla

    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. 

    It was the afternoon of July 18, 2003, and four young people in a comfortable suburban home near Houston were caught completely off guard. The television was still playing. Tiffany Rowell and Adelbert Sanchez were seated on the sofa and apparently never had time to stand. Investigators believed Rachael had answered the door and then attempted to run when the attack began. 

    Whoever entered that house had been welcomed inside.

    Then two guns opened fire. Twenty-one shots were fired in a matter of seconds. Seventeen struck their targets.

    Eighteen-year-old Tiffany Rowell never made it off the sofa. Neither did twenty-one-year-old Adelbert Sanchez. Nearby were Tiffany's nineteen-year-old boyfriend, Marcus Precella, and her close friend and roommate, eighteen-year-old Rachael Koloroutis.

    All four had been shot repeatedly. Marcus had also been struck in the head with a gun. But Rachael had survived the first barrage. Badly wounded, she had somehow begun moving toward her cellphone. She was still conscious. Still trying to summon help.

    Before she could finish the call, one of the attackers returned. Rachael knew the person standing over her. According to testimony, Rachael looked up at someone she had once considered a close friend and asked:

    Why are you doing this to me?

    There would be no answer.

    378. Remorseless: The Murder of Alesha MacPhail

    Thank you to Riley for suggesting this episode!

    In July 2018, a heartbreaking crime shocked a quiet community when six-year-old Alesha MacPhail disappeared while visiting family on the peaceful Isle of Bute in Scotland. Her sudden disappearance launched a massive search across the island, bringing together police, volunteers, and devastated family members in a desperate hope to find her safe.

    Tragically, the search ended in a devastating loss that left the entire nation in shock and mourning. When the perpetrator was finally captured and brought to trial, the courtroom proceedings uncovered a deeply chilling reality. The trial judge strongly condemned the teenager, pointing out his terrifying lack of emotion and describing his actions as some of the most wicked the court had ever seen in decades.

    Join Jen and Cam as they walk through the details of Remorseless: The Murder of Alesha MacPhail.
