Susan Smith: The 1994 Case That Shocked America

On October 25th, 1994, Susan Smith reported that a Black man had carjacked her vehicle at gunpoint with her two young sons still inside. Three-year-old Michael and fourteen-month-old Alexander were gone, taken by a stranger into the South Carolina night. For nine days, the nation watched as Susan and her husband David made tearful pleas on television for their children's safe return. "America's children," the media called them. Thousands of tips poured in. Law enforcement from across the country joined the search. But investigators were noticing inconsistencies. A traffic light that shouldn't have been red. A friend who wasn't home. Small details that didn't add up. On November 3rd, 1994, Susan Smith confessed to the unthinkable: she had driven to John D. Long Lake, strapped her sons in their car seats, and let the car roll into the water whilst she stood on the shore and watched them drown. Tonight on Crime at Bedtime, we examine the case that shocked the world. ONTENT WARNING: This episode contains detailed descriptions of child murder and maternal filicide.

The Green River Killer: How Gary Ridgway Murdered 49 Women and Evaded Police for 20 Years

In the summer of 1982, bodies began appearing along Washington's Green River. Young women—many of them sex workers, many of them runaways—were being strangled and dumped in remote wooded areas around Seattle. By 1984, the death toll had reached over forty. The Green River Task Force assembled. The FBI sent profilers. Even imprisoned serial killer Ted Bundy was consulted for insights. But year after year, the killer remained free. Gary Ridgway, a truck painter from Auburn, was questioned in 1987. He gave police a DNA sample. The technology of the time couldn't match it to the crimes. He was released. For fourteen more years, the case went cold. Then, in 2001, DNA technology advanced. The 1987 sample was retested. It matched four victims. Gary Ridgway was arrested on November 30th, 2001. In 2003, he confessed to forty-eight murders. Later, forty-nine. He claimed the real number was closer to eighty. Tonight, the story of America's most prolific serial killer.

Joshua Maddux: The Boy Found Dead in a Chimney 7 Years After He Disappeared

On May 8th, 2008, eighteen-year-old Joshua Maddux left his family home in Woodland Park, Colorado, for a walk. He was a free-spirited young man who loved nature, music, and the outdoors. Going for walks was something he did routinely. But this time, he never came home. For seven years, his family searched. They checked homeless shelters, scoured campgrounds, scanned strangers' faces on the street. They held onto hope that Josh would eventually return. Then, in August 2015, construction workers demolishing an abandoned cabin made a horrifying discovery: a mummified body crammed inside the chimney. It was Josh. He'd been less than a mile from home the entire time. Two blocks away. The coroner ruled it an accidental death. But the evidence didn't add up. Josh was nearly naked, with his clothes folded inside the cabin. A breakfast bar was moved to block the chimney. And rumours swirled about a man who'd bragged about "putting Josh in a hole." Tonight, the mystery of the boy in the chimney. You can get early and ad free access to this show and more here Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

That's a wrap on 2025! recap with The Voice of Reason

Well, we are at the end of another year of One Minute Remaining. As we say goodbye to 2025, I thought it was a good opportunity to sit down with the man they call The Voice of Reason, Michael Leonard, to reflect on some of the wildest cases of the past year. I have selected four cases that I feel had the biggest impact on you, the Jury. Michael and I take another look at the key issues in each case, the unanswered questions, and what they reveal about the justice system itself. If a case is not mentioned, it does not mean I do not have major concerns about it or feel for the person at the centre of it. I am grateful for each and every person who has been willing to share their story with me, and we will, as always, make sure we stay in contact with them and keep you updated on their individual situations. Thank you to each and every one of you for another year of amazing support. The show received more than 2.5 million downloads in 2025, which has truly blown me away. Thank you, and I look forward to sharing more stories with you next year. EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week! Apple + HERE Patreon and find us on Facebook here. Hosted on Acast.

Tom Phillips Case: The True Story of New Zealand's Four-Year Manhunt

In December 2021, Tom Phillips vanished into the dense New Zealand wilderness with his three children—Jayda, Maverick, and Ember—triggering a nearly four-year manhunt that gripped the nation. Using his expert survival skills and knowledge of the rugged Waikato region, Phillips evaded police, elite military trackers, and an $80,000 reward while allegedly committing armed robberies to survive. The search ended violently in September 2025 when Phillips was killed in a shootout with police after breaking into a rural supply store, critically wounding an officer. His three children were found safe at a remote campsite and returned to their mother. This is the extraordinary true story of obsession, survival, and the tragic end of New Zealand's most wanted father.

To Death Row and back again P1 - Anthony Apanovitch

On Aug. 23, 1984, Mary Flynn had been visiting her brother Martin Flynn and his wife, Kate, looking for houses for sale in their neighborhood. That night, around 10 p.m., a neighbor saw Flynn walking from her Toyota Tercel to the back door of her home after her visit to her brother and his wife. Hours later, she was dead. The next day, concerned that Mary hadn’t shown up for work and unable to reach her, a fellow nurse at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital called Marty Flynn. The two met at the duplex and got in through an unlocked door on the tenants’ side of the basement, according to court documents. His sister was lying facedown on her bare mattress, nude, badly beaten and bloodied. Her wrists were bound behind her back with what appeared to be a torn strip of the bed sheet, which was also tied around her neck and the bed’s headboard.

Echoes from the Bayou P2 - Dwight Bergeron

PLEASE BE ADVISED: This story contains subject matter that some may find upsetting. Listener discretion is advised. In the sweltering bayous of southern Louisiana, Dwight “Jerome” Bergeron grew up hard. As a boy, he trapped raccoons, muskrats, and nutria for pocket money, learning survival before he ever learned opportunity. He left school in the 11th grade, trained in plumbing at Vo-Tech, and once dreamed of repairing helicopters in the Army, a dream that died when his recruiter told him his certificate wasn’t enough. Instead, Dwight built a life for himself and his children on the bayou. But in the early 1990s, everything changed. His kids were removed from his home and placed with adoptive parents. Soon after, accusations surfaced, claims that Dwight had harmed the very children he loved. There was no physical evidence. Medical exams were inconclusive. But the state had some powerful words from his own children, testimony that was enough to secure his conviction. Dwight was sentenced to life, while his partner Angela, under intense pressure from prosecutors, took a plea deal she said was forced upon her. Both went to prison. Now, decades later, the children, now adults, have spoken. In sworn statements and letters, they insist their father never harmed them, that they were manipulated as kids, and that their testimony was built on lies told to keep them from returning home. Dwight has spent his life behind bars maintaining his innocence, while his children fight to clear his name. Echoes from the Bayou is the story of a man condemned on the word of children, the family torn apart, and the haunting possibility that Louisiana’s justice system got it wrong.

The murdered lottery winner - Dorice Moore Part 1

Welcome to episode one of 'One minute remaining' - Today we start the story of Dorice Moore and Abraham Lee Shakespeare, a story that has layer after layer but that is nothing short of mind blowing. I first contacted Dorice more than four years ago after reading about her story and we've been chatting on and off ever since. Dorice was charged and convicted for the murder of Abraham Lee Shakespear more than twelve years ago, a crime that she has always maintained she is innocent of. Dorice has done a number of interviews over the years with different journalists and programs but from what I've seen and heard she's never really been given the opportunity to tell her side of the story without prejudice from the interviewer. I am not here to prove her innocent or guilty I am simply here to allow her to tell her side of the story, a story that has fascinated and confused me the more I have delved into it. This is the first of many chats I will have with Dorice during this season as we not only hear the story from her side but also follow her journey as she fights to clear her name, For more on her story and to fins out how you can help her you can visit www.doricemoore.com Join the OMR Family and help support the show in a way that suits you and get bonus content, all the links are here EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!
