The Murder of Judith Whitney (New Hampshire)
The Murder of Judith Whitney (New Hampshire) Aug 20, 2026 00:40:45 There are cases that frustrate you because the evidence is thin. And then there are cases where the warning signs seem to be everywhere, but the system still can’t quite turn suspicion into action. A woman leaves home for a few quiet days away. Weeks later, police find her car in the woods and the man last seen with her is carrying her gun and giving away her personal belongings. Investigators se
The Disappearance of Edward Sprenkle Dubbs Jr. (Connecticut)
The Disappearance of Edward Sprenkle Dubbs Jr. (Connecticut) Aug 13, 2026 00:45:05 Some people disappear from a place you can picture right away: a house, a road, a parking lot, a stretch of woods. But in the case of Edward Sprenkle Dubbs Jr., he seems to vanish somewhere between the parts of his life that made sense on paper.  He had an office in New York, a home in Connecticut, a train he took like clockwork, and people waiting for him on both ends of the day. When he did not
The Disappearance of Dr. Margaret Kilcoyne (Massachusetts)
The Disappearance of Dr. Margaret Kilcoyne (Massachusetts) Aug 6, 2026 00:57:46 Sometimes, on an island, the only witness is the water. In January of 1980, a brilliant Columbia doctor went to her home on Nantucket’s remote east end carrying the weight of a life’s work, a possible medical breakthrough, and a kind of urgency the people around her struggled to understand. By the next morning, she was gone. No ferry record. No plane tickets. No clear path away from the house. Jus
UNSOLVED: The Disappearance of Ryan Blagojevic (Maine)
UNSOLVED: The Disappearance of Ryan Blagojevic (Maine) Jul 30, 2026 00:45:26 When someone has been missing for more than thirteen years, it can start to feel from the outside like the story has stopped moving. Like whatever answers existed back then are either gone now or buried too deep to reach. But for Ryan Blagojevic’s family, time has not softened the urgency. His sister Eve is still living inside the search for her brother, still turning over every possibility, still
The Murder of Victoria Cushman (Rhode Island)
The Murder of Victoria Cushman (Rhode Island) Jul 23, 2026 00:41:55 Victoria Cushman was just 29 years old when she was found murdered inside her Warwick, Rhode Island apartment, just steps from the sporting goods store where she worked. For years, her family waited for answers and eventually, the case seemed to have them: a suspect known to the case from day one, who investigators said had motive to end Vickie’s life. The evidence was circumstantial, but it was c
The Murder of Trish Haynes (New Hampshire)
The Murder of Trish Haynes (New Hampshire) Jul 16, 2026 00:41:58 In the summer of 2018, Trish Haynes disappeared from New Hampshire. Or at least, that’s what the public knew. Investigators searched a rural property, then quietly recovered something from a nearby pond, but for months, they said almost nothing about what they had found or how it related to the missing persons case. Behind the scenes, Trish’s family was living with a very different reality. They h
The Murder of Valerie Tieman (Maine)
The Murder of Valerie Tieman (Maine) Jul 9, 2026 00:43:28 In 2016, the disappearance of Valerie Tieman became one of the most talked-about cases in Maine in the last decade. At first, there was room for hope, and maybe even a version of the story where Valerie had simply walked away from a life that had become too painful.  Her husband, Luc Tieman, was a wounded military veteran, a man whose service and struggles shaped how people first understood him. B
The Murder of Martha Brailsford (Massachusetts)
The Murder of Martha Brailsford (Massachusetts) Jul 2, 2026 00:36:14 On a Friday afternoon in July of 1991, Martha Brailsford told friends she was going sailing. In coastal Massachusetts at what is often the peak of summer heat and humidity, that wasn’t unusual. Martha knew the water, and in Salem Willows, boats were part of the everyday landscape. There was no reason to think a simple afternoon sail would become anything else. But when Martha didn’t come home that
The Murder of Estella Brantley (Connecticut)
The Murder of Estella Brantley (Connecticut) Jun 25, 2026 00:38:25 Estella Brantley’s murder should have been urgent from the beginning. She was found in one of Bridgeport’s most visible public places, around witnesses who may have heard her final moments, with evidence that would one day matter more than anyone could have known when it was first collected. But for years, Estella’s case stayed unresolved, folded into a larger city-wide pattern of deadly attacks o
The Murder of Rose Marie Moniz (Massachusetts)
The Murder of Rose Marie Moniz (Massachusetts) Jun 18, 2026 00:36:20 Sometimes, a case can have evidence, a suspect, and a theory investigators believe explains what happened yet a family is still left without the ending they waited decades to hear.  Grief and justice don’t always move at the same pace. Grief looks for truth, meaning, and someone to answer for what was taken. The justice system looks for proof, and proof has to survive questions, strategy, doubt, a
The Murder of Pamela Brown (Vermont)
The Murder of Pamela Brown (Vermont) Jun 11, 2026 00:36:35 On a summer weekend in 1982, Barre, Vermont was crowded with music, traffic, and thousands of people moving through town for an annual festival. Somewhere in that noise, an 18-year-old woman disappeared. In the days that followed, investigators tried to make sense of what little they had: fragments of sightings, possible suspects, conflicting leads, and tests that seemed to narrow the field. But t
The Murder of Kathleen Flynn (Connecticut)
The Murder of Kathleen Flynn (Connecticut) Jun 4, 2026 00:46:46 For nearly 40 years, Kathleen Flynn’s murder has haunted Norwalk, Connecticut. She was 11 years old, newly in middle school, walking home on a familiar path when she was attacked and killed. Her case became one of the state’s most well-known cold cases, the kind people never stopped talking about, and the kind investigators kept returning to as forensic science moved forward.  In 2019, after decad
