    The Mysterious Disappearance of The Springfield 3

    Episode 64: On June 7th, 1992, sometime after 2:00 in the morning, three women disappeared from a home in Springfield, Missouri, leaving all personal belongings, cars, and the family dog behind, with no clear signs of a struggle. These women included Sherrill Levitt (47), her daughter Suzie Streeter (19), and Streeter's friend Stacy McCall (18). Despite a large-scale investigation, the Springfield Police Department has never recovered the women or found a conclusive crime scene, causing numerous theories to emerge over the decades.

    Larry Gene Bell: South Carolina's Most Notorious Serial Killer

    Episode 63: In the summer of 1985, the quiet Midlands of South Carolina were plunged into a "Summer of Terror" by a predator whose cruelty went far beyond physical violence. It began when seventeen-year-old Shari Faye Smith was abducted from her own driveway just two days before her high school graduation. He was a killer who didn't just lurk in the shadows, but actively called the victim's family, taunting them with descriptions of her final moments. But Larry Gene Bell wasn’t finished. We are diving into South Carolinas most notorious serial killer who was brought down by a single, forensic mistake left behind on a legal pad. https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/cold-case-spotlight/denise-newsom-porch-north-carolina-rcna341904 https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/crime/charlotte-40-year-old-cold-case/275-404fa1ba-124e-4597-9d44-94e8e5708e8d https://charleyproject.org/case/sandee-elaine-cornett https://www.10minutemurder.com/blog/larry-gene-bell-the-sadistic-killer-who-tortured-families-by-phone/ https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/crime/charlotte-40-year-old-cold-case/275-404fa1ba-124e-4597-9d44-94e8e5708e8d https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Gene_Bell https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/72/421/501070/ https://forensicfilesnow.com/index.php/tag/debra-may-helmick/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Douglas https://www.aetv.com/articles/john-douglas-shari-smith

    Diane Downs: The Hungry Like a Wolf Murder

    Episode 61: In Oregon in May 1983, a blood-soaked car pulled up to an emergency room, carrying a mother with a minor gunshot wound and her three young children who had been brutally shot at close range. The mother, Diane Downs, spun a terrifying tale, but as investigators looked, they found a chillingly calm, narcissistic woman who seemed more concerned with a love affair than the survival of her children. Today we will unmask one of the most chilling maternal predators in American True Crime history. https://abcnews.com/2020/diane-downs-mother-shoots-children/story?id=10615736 https://www.kptv.com/2025/12/16/diane-downs-convicted-killing-7-year-old-daughter-springfield-1983-denied-parole/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Downs#cite_note-salem-news1-29 https://delanirbartlette.medium.com/diane-downs-hungry-like-the-wolf-22905cecdd97
