The Riverdale Actor Who Killed His Mother

March 31, 2020. Ryan Grantham, 21, a Canadian actor known for roles in Riverdale and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, shot his mother Barbara Waite in the back of the head whilst she played piano in their Squamish, British Columbia home. He'd rehearsed the murder for days, walking up behind her with the rifle before losing his nerve. On the day he finally pulled the trigger, he filmed a GoPro confession: "I shot her in the back of the head. In the moments after, she would have known it was me." Then he drank beer, smoked cannabis, and watched Netflix for two and a half hours. The next morning, Ryan arranged candles around his mother's body and hung a rosary from the piano. He loaded his car with three guns, 12 Molotov cocktails, ammunition, and a map to the Canadian Prime Minister's residence in Ottawa—50 hours away. He planned to assassinate Justin Trudeau. He made it 120 miles before turning around. He then considered a mass shooting at his university or a bridge in Vancouver. Instead, he drove to the police station and confessed. In September 2022, a judge sentenced Ryan to life in prison with 14 years before parole eligibility. His journal read: "I'm so sorry mom... There's hundreds of hours of me that can be viewed and dissected... No one will understand." Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

The Basketball Star Who Vanished at Sea - BISON DELE

In July 2002, NBA champion Bison Dele sailed from Tahiti aboard his catamaran, the Hakuna Matata, with his girlfriend Serena Karlan, French captain Bertrand Saldo, and his troubled older brother Miles Dabord. On July 8, all communication ceased. Twelve days later, the boat returned to Tahiti—renamed, repainted, with patched bullet holes—and only Miles stepped off. Two months later, he tried to buy $152,000 in gold using Bison's passport. Before authorities could question him, Miles overdosed on insulin in Mexico and died without regaining consciousness. He'd confessed to his girlfriend that a fight had spiraled into three deaths, bodies weighted and thrown overboard. But FBI forensics found no evidence supporting his story. Was it murder for money, or a tragic accident gone wrong? The bodies were never found, and the Pacific Ocean keeps its secrets.

The House of Skulls - JONATHAN GERLACH

On January 6, 2026, detectives caught Jonathan Gerlach, 34, of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, leaving Mount Moriah Cemetery near Philadelphia with a burlap bag containing the mummified remains of two small children and three skulls. A search of his home revealed over 100 human skulls, mummified hands and feet, decomposing torsos—some hanging from the ceiling—and jewellery from graves. His storage unit contained eight more complete corpses. Between November 2025 and January 2026, Gerlach had systematically broken into 26 mausoleums and underground vaults, rappelling down ropes, smashing marble floors, stealing skeletal remains dating from 200 years old to months-old infants. On Instagram as "deadshitdaddy," he posted 100+ images of human skulls for sale. A Facebook group member thanked him for a bag made of human skin. Gerlach faces 574 charges and is held on $1 million bail. The investigation continues: Were the remains shipped across state lines? Who were the buyers? And can the dead finally be returned to rest in peace? Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

Power Rangers Actor Sentenced to Death | Skylar Deleon Yacht Murders

In November 2004, Skylar Deleon—a former Mighty Morphin Power Rangers child actor—murdered Tom Hawks (57) and Jackie Hawks (47) by tying them to their yacht's anchor and throwing them overboard alive off Newport Beach, California. The couple had advertised their 55-foot yacht "Well Deserved" for sale to move closer to their newborn grandson in Arizona. Deleon posed as a buyer, brought his pregnant wife and baby to gain their trust, then overpowered them during a test cruise with accomplices John Kennedy and Alonso Machain. Forced to sign ownership documents at gunpoint, the couple was duct-taped, handcuffed to a 66-pound anchor, and dragged 3,500 feet to the ocean floor whilst still alive. Their bodies were never recovered. Deleon was also convicted of murdering Jon Jarvi in 2003 after conning him out of $50,000. Sentenced to death April 2009. Wife Jennifer Henderson received life without parole. Full case details with crisis resources. Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

The Man Who Blew Up His House - ROBERT FISHER

On April 10, 2001, an explosion destroyed the Fisher family home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Inside, firefighters found Mary Fisher, 38, shot in the back of the head with her throat slit, and her two children—Brittney, 12, and Bobby, 10—with their throats slit in their beds. The gas line had been deliberately severed, accelerant poured in the bedrooms, a candle used as a delayed fuse. Missing: Robert William Fisher, 40, the family's husband and father. Ten days later, his Toyota 4Runner was found in Tonto National Forest with the family dog Blue alive underneath—suggesting Fisher got into another vehicle. New evidence from a 2024 podcast reveals the 4Runner was seen at the house at 3:30 AM and 5:30 AM, meaning Fisher only had a 3-hour head start, not the 10-12 hours previously believed. Fisher was a controlling Navy veteran who'd had an affair, contemplated suicide after Mary kicked him out, and told his pastor weeks before the murders that Mary was planning to divorce him. He was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted in 2002, removed in 2021, but remains a wanted fugitive with a $100,000 reward. If alive, he'd be 63. The question: Did he die in the wilderness by suicide, or is he living under a new identity? Become a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

The Man Who Vanished from a Moving Bus

On a snowy December night in 1949, 68-year-old James Tedford boarded a bus in Vermont, heading home to the Bennington Soldiers' Home. Fourteen passengers and the driver saw him sleeping peacefully in his seat at the last stop before Bennington. But when the bus pulled into the station, Tedford was gone—his luggage still in the rack, an open timetable on his empty seat. No one saw him leave. No one heard the door open. He had simply vanished. Three years earlier to the day, a college student had disappeared on a hiking trail in the same area. A year before that, an experienced hunting guide had vanished in the same mountains. This was the Bennington Triangle—a remote corner of Vermont where people seemed to slip out of reality itself. Skeptics point to conflicting witness accounts and sightings in nearby Brandon. They note Tedford's severe depression and his statement that he "never intended to return." But how does a man disappear from a bus full of witnesses? And why has no trace of him ever been found in seventy-five years? Did James Tedford walk into the wilderness in a moment of despair? Or did something far stranger claim him on that winter night in the mountains? Tonight, we explore the mystery of the man who vanished from a moving bus.
