***This episode is being released on what would have been Tiffany’s 48th birthday.
In October 2016, 38-year-old Tiffany Thompson was found shot to death on a sidewalk in Louisville, Kentucky — her suitcase beside her. A mother of three in the middle of a divorce, Tiffany had been trying to rebuild her life. Nearly a decade later, her case remains unsolved.
Tiffany’s murder does seem solvable. Her killer has been free for nearly 10 years. Three children lost their mother. If you have any information about the murder of Tiffany Marie Thompson, please contact the Louisville Metro Police Department’s anonymous tip line at 502-574-LMPD.

In July 2024, 19-year-old Mischa Johnson vanished from Hawaii's Schofield Barracks while six months pregnant. Her husband, Pfc. Dewayne Johnson II, joined the search efforts as the military community rallied to find her.
But when investigators dug deeper, a confession revealed the horrific truth: explosive rage, calculated violence, and a desperate cover-up attempt.
Despite receiving little media attention outside of Hawaii, this case deserves scrutiny.

These are just some of the chilling searches Brian Phillip Epperson reportedly made after the suspicious overdose deaths of two women.
In this episode, we explore THREE strikingly similar overdose cases and other crimes linked to Epperson in Kentucky. As of September 2025, Epperson has only been charged with one of these murders and is, of course, presumed innocent until proven guilty. But these women—Reacheal, Krissi, and Hilory—deserve to be remembered for who they were, not just how they died.

In the winter of 1985, Diane Robertson & Mike Riemer set out into the Washington backwoods with their toddler to cut down a Christmas tree— they never returned. Later that evening, their 2-year-old, Crystal was found wandering alone in a Kmart parking lot. She couldn’t say who she was or how she got there, only repeating: “Mommy is in the trees.”
Her mother, Diana Robertson, would be discovered months later — murdered and left in the woods with her hands bound and a tube sock tied around her neck. Her father, Mike Riemer, vanished without a trace.
But this wasn’t the first crime of its kind. Just months earlier, another couple — Steven Harkins and Ruth Cooper — had also been killed in the wilderness, Ruth was also found with a tube sock knotted around her neck.
For decades, theories swirled. Was Mike a violent killer who struck twice? Or the fourth victim of a predator still at large?

“Dad, Mom came back. I have to go with her. Give the boys lots of kisses and hugs and also you too. Love, Annette.”
In 1987, 26-year-old Korrina Malinoski vanished without a trace from her rural South Carolina home, leaving behind her three young children. 318 days later, her 11-year-old daughter Annette Sagers also disappeared—this time on her way to school, from nearly the exact same spot her mother was last seen.
Two disappearances. Same family. Same location. No arrests. No bodies. No answers.
In this episode, we look into the events leading up to both vanishings, the troubling behavior of the one person connected to them both, and the theories—both official and speculative—that have kept this case alive for nearly four decades.
Was this the work of a stranger or a tragic coincidence? Or something far more deliberate?

In the fall of 2010, Knox County, Ohio was shaken by the sudden disappearance of Tina Herrmann, her two children—13-year-old Sarah Maynard and 11-year-old Kody Maynard—and her friend Stephanie Sprang. What begins as a routine missing persons case quickly unravels into something far darker. Investigators follow a trail that leads to a literal house of horrors—and a fucking loser - Matthew Hoffman. His obsession with trees and leaves concealed something truly monstrous. At the heart of it all is Sarah, the only one to survive. This case is as surreal as it is haunting, and the truth behind it is almost too strange to believe.
Pretty much all the trigger warnings- take care of yourself.

In 1997, 27-year-old Karin Mero and 15-year-old Hannah Zaccaglini both disappeared, leaving their families desperate for answers and a community on edge. For years, investigators searched for the truth, but with little evidence and no bodies, the cases went cold.

Atlantic City/ Egg Harbor, New Jersey - November 2006
Just before Thanksgiving, 2006, two women out for a walk stumbled upon a serial killers dumping ground. Four women were found face down, in a drainage ditch, their bodies eerily positioned facing east- towards the bright lights of nearby Atlantic City. Because of this, the killer came to be known as the Eastbound Strangler.
For 5 weeks, this unknown serial killer stalked the streets, committing 4 grisly murders in rapid succession.
Each of them had a name. Each had a story. Four women with dreams and aspirations that were often overshadowed by hardship, addiction, and profound personal losses.
This is a case about much more than the unidentified serial killer—it’s about the women who were lost and the justice they still deserve. This is the story of Molly Jean Dilts, Barbara Breidor, Tracy Ann Roberts and Kim Raffo.

In broad daylight, three mothers—two with their young children—vanished from the upscale Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, Florida. Each case seemed eerily similar: women abducted in a place that should have been safe, their fates sealed just moments after stepping into the parking lot.
Only one mother and her child would survive, escaping after a harrowing ordeal. But why were they spared while the others were brutally executed?
Today, we will be covering the murders of Randi Gorenberg, and Nancy & Joey Bochicchio- as well as the abduction of Jane and Johnny Doe. Better known as the Boca Mall Murders, these cases remain unsolved, and as terrifying and unsettling today as they were when they first happened in 2007.

When a 17-year-old mother of two young children finds her youngest baby not breathing, she runs for help. But instead of sympathy, she received a death sentence. This is the story of Sabrina Butler-Smith - the first woman in U.S. history to be exonerated from death row. Her story isn't just about injustice - it's about how quickly the system can turn a tragedy into a nightmare. But it's also about how a teenager transformed from a grieving, convicted killer into one of our country's most powerful voices for justice reform.

When Christmas of 1988 came and went without a word from 54-year-old, Cam Lyman, a reclusive multi-millionaire, his family grew concerned. They had no idea that he had abandoned his 40-acre estate the year before, ominously leaving behind a phone ripped off the wall. Even more troubling, Cam’s beloved 58 prize-winning show dogs- were allegedly left alone in their kennels, unfed and unattended. It was completely out of character for someone who had dedicated their entire life to these animals.
This is the story of Cam Lyman.
