    Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart

    In the early morning hours of June 5, 2002, a man appeared in 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart's bedroom at her home in Salt Lake City, Utah. He put a knife to her neck, told her if she screamed he would kill her, and marched her out of the house and into the woods. The only witness was Elizabeth's 9 year old sister Mary Katherine. For the first time, both of them are telling their complete stories. From Elizabeth's harrowing nine months with her captors to Mary Katherine's traumatizing experience in isolation trying to remember all the details of that terrifying night, we're gonna unpack AND SCREAM ABOUT IT ALL.

    Satan Wants You

    As we always used to say IT'S NEVER THE SATANIC CULT IN THE WOODS--THEY DON'T EXIST! But try telling to Michelle Smith and Dr. Lawrence Pizder, whose book Michelle Remembers was published in 1980 and IS STILL RUINING LIVES TO THIS DAY! The book was based on years of "therapy sessions" in which Michelle was regressed to her childhood and allegedly uncovered memories of horrendous abuse and torture at the hands of a Satanic Cult. Evidence in the documentary suggests that this likely... didn't happen. BUT SO BEGAN THE ERA OF SATANIC PANIC ANYWAY! There's... a lot to unpack here fam. Join us, won't you?

    The Secrets We Bury

    FAM...I KNOW WE SAY THIS A LOT, BUT THIS ONE IS WILLLLLLLD. In the early 1960, we don't know exactly when, George Carol went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came home. His four kids spent decades wondering what happened to him. Their mother, Dorothy, didn't like to talk about George and she didn't want to answer any of her children's questions about him. As adults, the kids decided to search. They were given a clue from an unlikely source. And so they started to dig--figuratively and literally. What they discovered leads to one of the most shocking conclusions we ever seen. Gird your loins, grab your dog or your cocktail, or nearest loved one (WITH CONSENT, PEOPLE!), because you are not going to believe what you are about to hear.

    For 35-year-old Crystal Rogers, nothing was more important than her family - her parents, her four kids, and her long-term boyfriend, Brooks. So on July 4th weekend, 2015, when all of these people realized that none of them had heard from her in days, panic ensued. Her car was soon found abandoned on the side of the highway. It had a flat tire and her purse, cell phone, and wallet were all left inside the vehicle. So what happened? Was she abducted? Did she take off? As the police and her parents begin to investigate separately, they find more questions than answers. And when the cops connect her disappearance to two other murders in the area, a picture starts to come into focus. The journey to finding out what happened to Crystal WILL LEAVE YOU SCREAMING.

    Homicide Hunter: The Man with No Face

    All right Fam, get ready for our first-ever episode covering the icon himself: Joe Kenda. We're in Colorado Springs, on June 5, 1988. The brutalized body of 24-year-old Mary Lynn Vialpando has been discovered in a back alley. There are almost no clues to who killed her. But Joe Kenda is on the case. When Mary Lynn's husband frantically appears at the crime scene, he becomes suspect number one. But in the first case in Colorado's history to use DNA technology to solve this crime, it would take years for the killer to be caught and for Mary Lynn to receive some measure of justice.
