17-year-old, Shilie Turner, was a promising track star living in Philadelphia with her mom, stepdad and little sister. Everyone knew Shilie because of how badass she was at running so when she went missing in January 1993, it was all hands on deck to search for her. On February 20, 1993, 33 days into her disappearance and still no leads, there was a march in Shilie's honor. It was on this very night that a man walking his dog in Fairmont Park discovered a body. Police had no leads or no new suspects and the case was starting to go cold...until a psychic, Valerie Morrison, stepped in and revealed a very unexpected killer

The Gallaudet Murders | 181
In 2000, Gallaudet University, a small college for the deaf and hard of hearing, in Washington DC was shaken to their core when 18-year-old freshman Eric Plunkett was found murdered in his dorm room. During the investigation, police heard a story about a fight he had with his good friend and only 5 days later it lead to an arrest. Case closed!! ... Right? No, of course not. Sadly, only 4 months later, Eric's friend, Benjamin Varner was murdered.

Kristil Krug | 180
On October 2, 2023 Kristil Krug received a text from an ex-boyfriend she hadn't seen in over 20 years. Being married with 3 kids, she didn't engage in conversation but this blast from the past would soon turn into weeks of relentless stalking. She documented everything, kept police up to date and took all the appropriate steps to protect herself, yet it wasn't enough. When cops start looking into this guy, they find a very dark and twisted secret they didn't see coming

Mark Martin and Donna Tucker | 179
In 1977, the small town of Jacksonville, Alabama was shaken when a young couple, Donna Tucker & Mark Martin were attacked by a gunman in Germania Springs Park. This was a huge escalation to a series of similar crimes on young people in this town. There were no suspects until a local named John Ellis Sparks gave ABI agents plenty of reasons to suspect him. Unfortunately, they realize it's not that cut and dry when the crimes continue to happen after his arrest. This is a twisty tale... I almost got through it without crying.
