    S05E01 Corpsewood Manor : Avery Brock and Tony West

    On December 12, 1982, in the mountains outside Trion, Georgia, a home built for peace became the setting for something brutally violent. At the top of a winding dirt road, hidden deep along Taylor’s Ridge, stood Corpsewood Manor—a hand-built brick “castle” where Dr. Charles Scudder and Joseph Odom had carved out a life far removed from the world they left behind. They wanted quiet. Isolation. Freedom to live on their own terms. What they got instead… was a reputation. Rumors spread through the small town below—about devil worship, about sex, about what really went on inside that house in the woods. And eventually, those rumors reached two men who saw something else entirely. Not a sanctuary. An opportunity. That night, what began as a visit ended in gunfire, leaving both men dead inside the home they built together—and setting off a manhunt that would stretch across state lines. But what happened at Corpsewood didn’t end with the murders. Because in the aftermath, the story took on a life of its own—twisted by fear, shaped by prejudice, and retold so many times that the truth became harder to find than the road leading up that mountain. This is the story of the Corpsewood Manor murders. And thank you to Blake for recommending this case.

    S04E52 The Man No One Stopped : Vernon Brown

    NEXT EPISODE WILL RELEASE ON JULY 9TH! SEASON 5!!! Today's case is about how some cases aren’t just about what happened—they’re about everything that almost stopped it. From the 1970s through the mid-1980s, across Indianapolis, Indiana and St. Louis, Missouri, and twenty-one additional states, a pattern quietly takes shape. Complaints that don’t go far enough. Identities that shift just enough. Moments that, on their own, don’t seem like proof—but together tell a much darker story. At the center is Vernon Brown, a man who was able to move through lives and communities without drawing the kind of attention that might have stopped what came next. Listen to this episode to hear Claire unravel a timeline filled with missed chances, overlooked connections, and the chilling reality of how long danger can go unnoticed—until it can’t anymore, and all the lives one man can destroy.
