It was a kinda popular case. There was a man who went to a bar, then allegedly got drunk and called his wife. The call was really weird. There were some unexplainable sounds, he seemed depressed and every word he said was unclear. I'm pretty sure it was a black male. Any ideas which case I'm looking for?
Hi! I apologize for the vague title, but my mom and I were watching the ID channel tonight and remembered a case we had seen once. The details are foggy, but this is what we remember the most.
It was a case either featured on the ID channel or a YouTube podcast. It was definitely not an audio podcast because there were visuals. There was a person describing the place where the murder had happened and it was definitely unique. It’s probably not helpful, but I do remember a man being interviewed about the case by the show.
For some reason, we believe it was an island of some sort. It wasn’t tropical, but more like the Pacific Northwest. We can’t say it’s that for certain, but we remembered them showing some houses that seemed high off the ground. I don’t know if it had been on stilts, but maybe a garage underneath. I’m not sure if that’s common on the West Coast because I’m from New England. That’s why I’m a little unsure about it being the PNW.
We both clearly remember the people saying this island was only accessible by one bridge. Everyone would go in and out on that bridge.
Also, I remember that they said crime there was incredibly rare. That the only thing that had happened recently was a peeping Tom in the area.
(I’m sorry I can’t offer more, but this is all we remember and had watched this a few years ago. I really apologize if this seems all over the place 😂)
ETA: I’d say this case is more “recent.” The earliest possible time from the 90s, latest sometime in the 2010s. It is not the Peggy Sue Thomas case.
I remember reading about this, but I was unable to find it when googling.
It was about a woman who was severely abused by her husband, and she stayed with him only because he wasn’t abusing their daughter(if I am remembering correctly). After she had graduated high school and was in college, she came back to visit and told her mom that her dad/the husband, had been abusing her. The wife killed the husband in the kitchen(I think) and cut up his body on the kitchen table that doubled as a butcher table for hunting, and scattered his body in the surrounding farmlands, and I believe cooked some of it, and I think fed it to the police who had questioned her. A neighbors dog found bits of the husband.
Please help me find this case!
Looking for the name of the victim or killer. A woman that may have been physically or mentally disabled was taken in by someone she knew. She was abused, killed and may have been buried at the home. I believe a teenaged or young adult man may have been involved but I can’t recall if he was a witness, another victim or part of the crime. Thanks.
This case happened in 2010s in the US (possibly South-ish) and was one of the cases featured in a YT crime video (not sure whose). Man in his late teens or early 20s disappeared and his parents spent few years looking for him. He probably had mental health issues. The parents created a FB profile to help publicize the case. There were sightings of him suggesting that he's living on the streets among the homeless people. Finally, he was recognized in some homeless shelter. He was using an alias, but he recognized his parents immediately once they arrived and was overcome with emotions. He couldn't explain why he was using an alias. There was even a photo of him with his parents shortly after they were reunited and the look in his eyes was heartbreaking. The photos from the FB profile are still up but it wasn't updated in a long time. Does it ring any bells?
Looking for information on a disappearance I saw on a Forensic Files type show around 2014-2015. Saw it on cable TV.
What I remember is that two girls were meeting up to go to a concert. They met halfway, one girl parked her car in a parking lot, and they carpooled in the other girl's car to the concert.
After the concert they drove back to the girl's car, she got out, got in her car, and then the other girl drove home.
The girl with the car in the parking lot never made it home, and they found her car in the parking lot.
I also remember them showing an image of the parking lot and it was very dark with a portion lit up by a single light post
Any leads or information would be great or even better the episode of the show. Been bothering me for over 10 years
I’ve tried every google search imaginable trying to find a name but so far have been unsuccessful. I think this guy was located in either Texas or Arizona. His case was featured on a couple of true crime shows. The details I remember was he was a compulsive liar about his or his grandpa’s military service (sorry I can’t recall which) and that he claimed his victims were criminals or deviants and that’s how he justified it. I remember he killed one of his victims by shooting them through a window while they lie in bed and he was outside. I also believe his first victim was a really young man who he claimed was a gang member and who he picked up the day of and went to shoot guns with. I also seem to remember his girlfriend might have had some involvement. I know this isn’t a lot of information to go on but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I think I heard this on the Crimelines podcast, but can't find it on there. Can't remember state it happened in, but I think took place in the 80s. Mother and father have 2 kids, boy and a girl. Divorce. Mom keeps kids away from dad. She remarries man, I think he also has kids. They suddenly moved away. Dad tries to find them, police won't look for them since the mother has them, and don't consider it a kidnapping. He looks for years and years. I believe the brother and him eventually get in contact. I think the brother remembers a carpet being rolled up, or maybe just an odd box or something the night they just up and moved. No record of the girl since she went missing. Police interview mom and she's not concerned about her daughter's whereabouts. I think she was eventually charged with a relatively minor crime associated with it. I think the mom and step dad were also divorced at that point, but she still defended him. I think the mother tried to say that she was sent to live with relatives, but obviously wasn't true. The brother tried to get his mom to talk about it, but she refused. I think the girl was pretty young, like 5 or under. It's driving me nuts. Some cases that come up when I try to google, but aren't it are - Chris and Lisa Mae Zacharias and Elaine Yates.
Im having a really hard time because every way i try and phrase this google AI say i am misremembering it and gives me a wrong answer. I have a very long project at work and i remember getting through like half of this podcast about this woman but stopped because the episodes were still ongoing at the time
I am pretty sure that it happened in a southern state. People really knew this woman for her big hair and makeup. She was found in her living room by a relative or neighbor i cant remember, but none of her things were taken. The town believes that it was this one woman’s son who did it and i remember them saying that they didn’t really like him because he was adopted and may have had some mental issues.
This wasn’t a one shot podcast but if someone could give me the name i can probably go from there.
From what I remember, it involved a group of teenagers who were obsessed with vampirism and murdered a family of four. The victims were Swedish immigrants (mother, father, daughter, and son) and I remember their last name starting with an “L.” I also recall the murders taking place in a park/campsite.
This case was featured in a true crime show but I cannot remember which one, it most likely aired in Investigation Discovery.
I think this was a Dateline episode from several years back, so it might be a long shot. The father (who was white) was convicted of killing his wife/the mother (who I think was Asian). He originally said she had run away but then it became apparent that was not true as she was missing several years. They had two or three adult children who were split on the father’s guilt. One of the children (I think the son) originally thought the father was innocent but after the trial/evaluating all the facts decided he had to be guilty.
I'm trying to identify a true crime case that I watched on a daytime talk show years ago (I originally thought it was Dr. Phil, but it could have been Montel Williams, Maury, or a similar show with a male host).
Here's what I remember:
It was probably a case from the 1990s.
The missing children were a teenage daughter and her younger brother.
They disappeared at the same time, I believe, while they were with their father.
Pretty sure this was in Missouri but might have been Arkansas/Oklahoma area.
Their parents were divorced or divorcing.
The mother was convinced from the beginning that the father had killed the children and spent years trying to prove it.
The father denied any involvement for many years.
Several years later, I think the father confessed (or admitted what happened), the children's bodies were found, and he went to prison.
I also have a vague memory that there was some connection to a bookstore, but I can't remember if it involved the family, the investigation, or something else...maybe the mom worked at a bookstore?
I realize I may be mixing one or two details from different cases, but I'm hoping someone recognizes the story. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Happened over 50 years ago and has old black and white photos associated with it. Basically the family went down into the basement and died one-by-one due to poison gas, I remember most of the details but can’t remember the name of the incident.
My Google Fu is failing me so I figure i have some facts wrong. I am trying to find the details of a murder in southern Indiana in the mid to late 1990s. I believe it occurred in Evansville but it could have been Newburgh. A 15 year old girl went to a coffeehouse in the winter. She left after dark and didnt have a ride. Her ex boyfriend and his friend offered to drive her home. Instead, they beat her SA'ed her, beat her some more and i believe she wasnt dead yet when the 2 boys buried her (not well) in a snow bank. I believe the boys were driving a truck.
This case has haunted me for years without a way to find it. Does anyone know what i am talking about.
There was a lot to this case and the neighbor was doing other crime too, and reading the case I remember thinking it seemed very naive walking over without being armed to this guy. They disappared or were killed. Must have been in the countryside, usa, from what I recall. Neighbor was acting bizarely and harassed other people too iirc.
i was reading something online about a case where a woman either went missing or was found dead. another woman heard about this case, suspected the victim's partner like many, and decided to try to start dating him to get information from him. it worked. she successfully dated him for a little while and was successfully able to help authorities figure out he was the perp.
there are like two documentaries about her and one is maybe a 48 hours? i want to say the victim's name was something like Michelle/ Shelly? or Shelby?? tried Google to no avail. HELP
