    #58- Sophie Sergie: A Cold Case Cracked

    The tragic 1993 murder of 20-year-old Alaskan native Sophie Sergie went unsolved for over 25 years, until advances in forensic genealogy led investigators to a former UAF student named Steven H. Downs—who had been living thousands of miles away.  We’re covering Sophie’s final hours, the evidence left behind, the path to identifying a suspect, Downs’ arrest more than 25 years later, and the 2022 trial that finally attempted to answer the question Sophie’s family had been asking for decades: Who killed Sophie Sergie?

    #57 - The Psychic and the Detectives

    What happens when a detective runs out of leads? Sometimes, they turn to psychics for help in solving a crime.  In the 1970s and ’80s, California psychic Armand Marcotte worked alongside police and detectives on countless investigations, offering clues he claimed to receive through his psychic abilities to channel the victims who have crossed over, explore past lives, and use help from those beyond the grave to gather clues to help solve mysteries. In this episode, we explore the cases, the detectives who sought his help, and the mysterious connection between the psychic and the detective. Could a psychic really help solve a crime? You be the judge. Sources: Druffel, Ann, with Armand Marcotte. The Psychic and the Detective. ACS Publications, 1983 CIA.gov Message us! Thanks for listening to The Spooky Darlings!

    Cryptid Crawl #25: Missouri! Show Me Your Cryptids!

    This week, The Spooky Darlings head to Missouri, the Show-Me State.  First, we investigate the Ozark Howler, a legendary beast said to stalk the Ozarks with glowing eyes and an eerie howl. Next, we head to Nixa to discuss Paul the Nixa Hellhound— a bizarre canine cryptid that has become a local legend. Finally, we travel to Louisiana, Missouri to cover the infamous Momo (the Missouri Monster)—Missouri’s own Bigfoot-like creature. Are these three cryptids truly different creatures… or did the sisters uncover some suspicious overlap? Tune in as we break down the sightings, stories, and spooky details behind three of Missouri’s most famous monsters.
