Mary Wilcox
Mary Wilcox was a 78 year old mother and grandmother who was suffering from heart disease, depression, and Alzheimer’s Disease. She moved in with her daughter, Jeanne, in the rural town of Westford Vermont. On a cold fall day in November 2006, Mary disappeared from this home and was never seen again. It wasn’t until a person came forward over 3 years later that the truth about what may have happened to Mary was brought to light, and her own daughter was arrested for her possible murder. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss the sad case of Mary Wilcox.

William Prewitt
William and Patty Prewitt were trying to make the best life for their family. They owned their own business and were struggling to stay afloat, but were doing the best that they could. One night, during a strong thunderstorm, Bill was shot while sleeping and Patty was attacked, or so she said. Patty quickly became the prime suspect. Patty maintains her innocence to this day, but what do you think?

Glenn Turner and Randy Thompson
Glenn Turner and Randy Thompson were both young, healthy, and southern Georgia gentlemen. Both of them died in their early 30’s of remarkably similar illnesses. Once the family made the connection that they had both been romantically involved with the same woman, and died in the exact same manner, the real and chilling truth is revealed. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss the cases of Glenn and Randy, and the Antifreeze Killer, Lynn Turner.

Family Tragedies
Kelly and Thomas Crain had one child left living with them, 14-year-old, Alex. It was the same for Alan and Diane Johnson, with 16-year-old Sara. Neither set of parents would know their time together would be cut short, and at the hands of their own children. Join us as we discuss these similar cases, with different motives, but they are equally sad.

Carly Ryan
Carly Ryan was a sweet and fun loving 15 year old living in Stirling, Southern Australia. She loved to spend time online, especially chatting with her special friend, 18 year old Brandon Kane. Or so she thought. It turned out that Brandon was not everything he said he was and sadly, Carly fell victim to a deceitful online predator named Gary Newman. This case is tragic and reminds us of the dangers of catfishing, online grooming, and cyber predatory behavior. Join us in the closet this week for the case of Carly Ryan.
