• Betrayed by Blood

  On a frigid Iowa morning in January of 2024, a woman arrived at her best friend’s home to pick her up for a coffee date. Almost immediately, there were signs that something was terribly wrong. Trusting her instincts, she entered the residence—only to be met with one of the most grisly and horrific scenes imaginable. The ensuing investigation proved to be a twisting road of violence, religion, and bizarre tangents—all leading back to the person who was supposed to be the victim’s most trusted caretaker… Thank you to Valerie Durr for sharing her perspective and insights into her friendship with Jennifer Dazey.

• Tent City People

  In 2016, police in Columbus, Ohio, were dispatched to a homeless encampment known as a "tent city" near the Scioto River. Upon arrival, they discovered a gruesome crime scene—the brutal murder of a camp resident, Cathleen Howatt. Her death set off a complex and tragic investigation, drawing in law enforcement, as well as Cathleen’s loved ones, into a web of conflicting accounts, substance abuse, and the harsh realities of life on the streets of Columbus. As authorities closed in on Cathleen’s killer, tensions escalated, leading to a dramatic and intense confrontation between detective and suspect.    Thank you to Peyton Williams and Jeanette Bradley for speaking with us.  Written by John Garland Wells, Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

• No Justice, No Peace

  In March 2017, a 25-year-old man in Dubuque, Iowa placed a frantic phone call to 911. He claimed his girlfriend had just died in front of him - by stabbing herself in the stomach. The next day, he was arrested and charged with her murder. But was her death a suicide or a homicide? The question would divide a community, send shockwaves through the courts, and pit two families against each other.  Written and produced by Jessamyn Ansary, Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

• Unseen Entity

  On October 23rd, 2022, 21-year-old Jared Dicus and 21-year-old Anggy Diaz posted a photo on Facebook that surprised their friends and family alike. It was a picture of Jared holding Anggy in his arms as they shared a kiss, celebrating the fact that they had just gotten married. This announcement came as a shock to their friends and family for a couple of reasons: first, no one was invited, and second, they had met less than a year ago. However, setting aside judgment, it appeared that the two truly loved each other, and perhaps this was just another story of love at first sight. Yet, despite how good things seemed, something dark was brewing beneath the surface, only to be revealed after a disturbing 911 call was made just a few months later. Written by Trevor Pason, edited and engineered by Scott Ecklein, and executive produced by Michael Ojibway.

• Have Gun–Will Travel

  When a wealthy businessman and his live-in friend were discovered dead in an upscale Arkansas neighborhood in 2002, the execution-style murders sent ripples across the country. Shortly after, a woman goes missing from her job in Salt Lake City, Utah. What connects these two horrific events is a single man and a lifetime of growing delusions, culminating in a shocking nine-year ordeal of violence and delayed justice. Written by John Garland Wells, edited and engineered by Scott Ecklein, and executive produced by Michael Ojibway.
