    EP289: The Disappearance That Never Left the Backyard
    Feb 17 2026
    On a quiet stretch of Midwestern road, just outside the small town where everyone knew everyone else, DiAnne Kiedel disappeared into the kind of mystery that only seems possible in places that feel safe. She was a mother. A neighbor. The woman who waved when she drove past. And then, suddenly, she was the center of whispered conversations, late-night searches, and a question that refused to fade: what really happened that night? In this episode, we peel back the layers of a story that starts with an ordinary evening—and spirals into something far darker than anyone in town was prepared to face.

    EP288: The Crime No One Saw Coming
    Feb 4 2026
    On a quiet night that should have ended like any other, one violent act set off a chain of events that would fracture a community and leave more questions than answers. The murder of Trent Digiuro didn’t arrive with warning signs or a clear villain—it unfolded in the blurred space between friendship and fear, impulse and intention. In the days that followed, whispers traveled faster than facts, and investigators began pulling at threads that revealed a far more complicated story than it first appeared. What happened to Trent wasn’t just about a single moment of violence, but about the choices made before it—and the ones that followed—that would ultimately force everyone involved to reckon with the truth.

    Jan 22 2026
    On a quiet February morning in 1960, one of America’s most powerful brewing dynasties collided with every parent’s worst nightmare. Adolph Coors III—heir to a beer empire, devoted father, and fixture of Colorado’s elite—vanished on his way to work, leaving behind an abandoned car, a single shoe, and a trail of unanswered questions. What followed was a tense, high-stakes drama that gripped the nation: cryptic demands, frantic negotiations, and a family forced to make impossible decisions under the glare of public attention. This is the story of a disappearance that exposed the vulnerabilities of immense wealth—and set off a chain of events no one could control.

    EP284: Allowed to Kill Again
    Jan 1 2026
    On a quiet residential street, a family lived a life that looked ordinary from the outside—routine, familiar, unremarkable. But behind closed doors, a history already existed, one that had passed through courtrooms, parole boards, and official records, quietly waiting. When authorities were finally called to the house, they arrived expecting one kind of emergency and discovered another entirely—one that would force investigators, prosecutors, and the public to confront uncomfortable questions about warning signs, second chances, and the consequences of decisions made long before anyone thought they mattered. This is the story of Gregory Green—and the tragedy that revealed how the past never really stays buried.
