    The Springfield Three (Part One: Disappeared)
    Nov 24 2024
    "The only thing unusual about this house was that three women were missing from it. You had this feeling as you looked around that something was missing, that something had to be missing. But there wasn't. Just them."

    On the afternoon of Saturday, 6 June 1992, 19-year-old Suzanne "Suzie" Streeter and 18-year-old Stacy McCall graduated from Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri. Stacy's parents were in attendance that day, as was Suzanne's mother, 47-year-old Sherrill Levitt.

    Spirits were high that evening as Suzie and Stacy celebrated with friends, staying out until just after 2:00 AM on June 7th. Hoping to get an early start on more festivities the next morning, the two friends drove back to Suzie and Sherrill's house along the 1700 block of East Delmar Street...

    Room 1046 (Part Two: Artemus Ogletree)
    Nov 18 2024
    "Love for ever - Louise"

    Throughout 1935, investigators in Kansas City struggled to not only determine the identity of the man calling himself "Roland T. Owen," but also had to untangle the strange circumstances that had led up to his death. It was clear that someone had wished to inflict pain upon Owen, but police could only speculate why.

    Meanwhile, the family of a missing young man from Birmingham, Alabama had been unable to locate any trace of him for over a year. Their search would end up intersecting with the ongoing investigation from Kansas City in the waning days of 1936, but in doing so, would end up raising even more questions...

    Room 1046 (Part One: Roland T. Owen)
    Nov 10 2024
    "My impression of this man from the expressions on his face and from his actions was that he was either worried about something or afraid."

    On Wednesday, 2 January 1935, a young man arrived at the Hotel President in Kansas City, Missouri. Claiming to be from Los Angeles, he told the front desk his name was Roland T. Owen and requested an interior room several floors up. Staff there accommodated him, assigning him a room on the tenth floor that overlooked the hotel's courtyard.

    Over the next two days, people would recall strange run-ins with Owen, including a few peculiar experiences in his room with hotel staff. But just two days later, after repeated attempts at rousing this guest for his morning wake-up call, a bellhop would make a grisly discovery inside of room 1046...

  • Amber Thurman

    Amber Thurman
    Nov 2 2024
    "They would feel the need to wait for higher blood pressure, wait for a higher fever - really got to justify this one - bleed a little bit more."

    On the evening of 18 August 2022, Amber Thurman was rushed to the Piedmont Henry Hospital in Stockbridge, Georgia. The 28-year-old single mother had been experiencing cramping and bleeding for days, and was beginning to vomit blood. After losing consciousness, her boyfriend had called 9-1-1 and requested an ambulance.

    After arriving at the hospital that evening, doctors would diagnose Amber with an infection that was quickly evolving into sepsis. They'd learn that Amber had recently undergone a medication abortion and needed a life-saving procedure known as a dilation and curettage (D&C). However, because of the recent repeal of Roe v. Wade, as well as Georgia's pre-existing abortion ban, doctors hesitated to perform the D&C. Meanwhile, Amber's condition worsened...

    "It's like she vanished into thin air."

    On the evening of 31 October 2001, Hyun Jong Song - better known as "Cindy" - went with some friends to a costume party at a nightclub in State College, Pennsylvania. Having just started her senior year at Penn State, the 21-year-old was still getting over a recent breakup but had a fun Halloween with her friends, dancing until the early morning hours of November 1st.

    At around 4:00 AM, a friend dropped Cindy off at her apartment, but didn't wait for her to step inside before driving off. In the days to come, it would become clear that something happened to Cindy in the vital minutes that followed, but the mystery of her strange and abrupt disappearance endures to this day...

    Oct 21 2024
    "A first responder unwilling to place the lives of the innocent above their own safety should consider another career field."

    School shootings have become a tragic and recurring part of American life, with events like Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Parkland forever altering how we think about safety in our schools. Each incident has reignited debates about gun control, mental health, and the responsibility of those tasked with protecting students. Yet, despite the changes in policy and heightened awareness, this endless cycle of violence continues to haunt entire communities.

    In May 2022, the town of Uvalde, Texas, became the site of another devastating school shooting that shocked the nation. The heartbreaking loss of young lives and the unfolding details of the attack raised disturbing questions about what went wrong. As the story emerged, it was clear this tragedy would stand out not just for its overwhelming horror but for the unsettling revelations it left behind in its wake...

    Mazie Mae Sigmon-Palmer & Jay Farley
    Sep 29 2024
    "Meet me at 2:00 PM at the Greyhound bus station. You know he's dead. If you want to know who killed him, I have the proof."

    In the summer of 1979, two youngsters in West Virginia struck up a fling. 25-year-old Mazie Mae Sigmon-Palmer was recently divorced and 18-year-old Jay Farley was fresh out of high school. Both were in transitory phases of their lives and recognized that their relationship was likely temporary, but they seemed to be enjoying it while it lasted.

    On the evening of July 14th, the two met up at a nightclub in downtown Charleston, called the Roaring Twenties. There, they hung out for a bit and even talked with some friends of theirs. But at some point that night, both would vanish. It wasn't until years later that evidence surfaced revealing what had happened to one of them, but the circumstances of their initial disappearance - and what led up to it - remain clouded in mystery...
