    S. 8 Episode 25: The Tanya Kach Story

    *This was recorded a few weeks ago and delayed release so if we talk about anything in a timely manner that doesn't make sense- that's why* Tanya Kach was groomed by a security guard at her middle school when she was only 14. She was held captive for 10 years, 2 miles from her father's home. In this episode, Ashley discusses what Tanya went through during the 10 years she was held captive, her escape, and the aftermath. She discusses where everyone involved in the story is now.  If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual abuse, text "STRENGTH" to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 to be connected to a certified crisis counselor.

    S. 8 Episode 24: Where Is Nicola Payne?

    In December 1991, 18-year-old mother Nicola Payne vanished during a six-minute walk across a foggy stretch of Coventry, England, and has never been seen again. Decades of searches, conflicting witness accounts, questionable alibis, lost evidence, DNA testing, and even a murder trial have failed to answer what happened to her. More than 30 years later, Nicola’s family is still waiting for the answer that matters most: where is Nicola?  Grab a drink and join us for this rollercoaster of an episode as Kat does a deep dive into this 30 year-old case.  References:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lyBagGEdSUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3f5jij5KL8https://www.huntspost.co.uk/news/23520720.new-evidence-nicola-payne-murder-30-years/https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/articles/what-happened-nicola-payne-one-uks-biggest-unsolved-caseshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/missingpersonssupport/posts/2971929222958764/https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/69xyqt/the_1991_disappearance_of_teenage_mother_nicola/https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/g12z5z/missing_since_1991_nicola_payne/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-25417081https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/nov/16/two-men-cleared-of-nicola-payne-murderhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czr3r8mmpv3ohttps://news.sky.com/story/opinion-its-been-26-years-i-cant-die-without-finding-my-nicola-11171784https://www.instagram.com/popular/nicola-payne-son-owen-now/?hl=enhttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-34515445https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-34701954https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/nicola-payne-murder-trial-brother-10252911https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-34526680https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nicola-payne-murder-suspect-tried-6626824https://crimeimmemorial.com/2025/11/29/nicola-payne/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11998729/Nicola-Paynes-family-break-down-in-court-as-Nigel-Barwell-and-Thomas-OReilly-cleared-of-murder.htmlhttps://www.thesun.co.uk/news/30406980/sister-disappearing-foggy-path-window-murdered/https://www.thesun.ie/news/13812433/sister-disappearing-foggy-path-window-murdered/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-34643073 https://www.itv.com/news/central/2015-11-16/timeline-the-nicola-payne-case-since-1991https://www.facebook.com/groups/1396999187093926/posts/on-december-14th-1991-nicola-payne-an-18-year-old-mother-left-her-boyfriends-hom/9400669476726817/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Tobinhttps://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/nicola-payne-timeline-what-happened-26963939https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/victims-of-serial-killer-peter-tobin-248076 Please like, follow, and share this podcast - we're on all of the platforms!

    S. 8 Episode 21: The Women Who Gave Victims a Voice

    In this week’s episode, Ashley highlights the women whose groundbreaking work changed the way we understand victims, criminals, and forensic evidence. At the center of the episode is Ann Burgess, the forensic nurse whose research on rape trauma and violent offenders helped shape modern criminal profiling and transform the FBI’s approach to investigating serial killers. Ashley also explores the contributions of other trailblazing women in forensic science, including the creators and innovators behind the rape kit, homicide investigation training tools, advanced DNA profiling, forensic anthropology, hand-vein identification, and more. Their work helped bring science, structure, and compassion into criminal investigations, giving victims a stronger voice and investigators better tools to pursue justice.
