In 1981, Charlotte Heimann vanished from Rochester, New York just weeks before completing her Ph.D. She’d overcome incredible odds, survived a serious accident, and worked tirelessly toward a better life for herself and her daughter. But just days after telling hospital staff she feared for her safety — Charlotte walked out of the Rochester Psychiatric Center and was never seen again...

A special thank you to Charlotte's granddaughter Shyla for partnering with me for today's episode.

In 1978, Wilma June Nissen was just 23 years old when her life was violently taken. For decades, her murder remained a mystery, and her name was unknown to the world. Wilma never got to meet her daughter — but that hasn’t stopped her daughter from fighting every day to find the truth about what happened to her mom. This isn’t just a case file. It’s a story about family, about love that never faded, and about the fight for justice that’s still going strong after all these years...

A special thank you to Wilma's daughter for partnering with me for today's episode.

Let’s talk about one of the most heartbreaking and baffling cases in true crime history—the murder of 6-year-old JonBenét Ramsey. On Christmas morning 1996, JonBenét was found in the basement of her family’s Boulder, Colorado home, and to this day, her case remains unsolved. Over the years, this case has sparked endless theories, questions, and heated debates: Was it an intruder? Could someone in the family have been involved? Or is the truth something we’ve all overlooked? In this episode, I’m breaking down the timeline, the infamous ransom note, and the key theories that have kept this case alive for nearly three decades. We’ll go over the evidence, the suspects, and the lingering mysteries that make this case so haunting.
