A Nefarious Nightmare - True Crime

Best Friends Amanda and Courtney deep dive into true crime cases with an empathetic standpoint. They focus awareness mainly on lesser known crimes and crimes against those deemed extra vulnerable. Occasionally, the hosts will cover more well known cases due to relevance or a particularly fascinating element. The bees (the honeybee) is seen as synonymous with victims and survivors. We must always protect the bees. We must always let their voices be heard. We must not stifle the buzz of the bees, so bee vigilant, for when you mess with the bees, you get the hive.

    Introducing MURDER, SHE TOLD

    TODAY'S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY INDIPOP, ACCIDENT.COMSpecial deals and offers for our listeners can be found at info.indipop.co/NEFARIOUSSee what your claim is worth at accident.com/podcast S6 BONUS I - Introducing Murder, She Told Murder, She Told is an award-winning true-crime podcast created and hosted by victim’s advocate, Kristen Seavey, that dives into the lesser-known cold cases and true crime stories from New England and beyond. Murder, She Told uses investigative and detailed storytelling, often weaving in original interviews with the people closest to the case. Rooted in deep research, straightforward narratives, and the victims and their family at the center of every story, Murder, She Told will speak to any listener no matter where they call home. This is “Ayla Reynolds: 10 Years Later, Part One” from Murder, She Told, hosted by Kristen Seavey. Originally published in December 2021. For Part Two, find Murder, She Told wherever you listen or at the blog below. Ayla Reynolds was just shy of 2-years-old when her father, Justin DiPietro, called 911 on the morning of December 17th, 2011 in Waterville, Maine to report her missing. His story was that she'd been abducted from her crib in the middle of the night by an unknown intruder while the adults in the house were sleeping. Ayla Reynolds never came back home, and remains missing today. Ayla's disappearance sparked a national media storm, catapulting a grieving mother into the spotlight. Trista Reynolds, who wasn't there the night her daughter went missing, believed she wasn't getting the full story from Ayla's father. Eventually police believed it too, and announced that this was no longer the search for missing child... but rather, foul play. What happened in that house that night? SOURCES AND CREDITS - For all sources and photos from this episode and part two: https://www.murdershetold.com/episodes/ayla-reynolds If you have any information on Ayla’s disappearance, please contact the Maine State Police, Major Crimes Unit Central, at (207) 624-7143 or toll free at 1-800-452-4664.

    S6 E10 - Dark Side of the Moon - Find Prisma Reyes

    TODAY'S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY INDIPOP, ACCIDENT.COM Special deals and offers for our listeners can be found at info.indipop.co/NEFARIOUS See what your claim is worth at accident.com/podcast S6 E10 - Dark Side of the Moon - Find Prisma Reyes CW/TW - domestic violence, discussion of sex trafficking, missing minorities Prisma Reyes vanished into thin air on April 17, 2019. Prisma was last seen in Downtown Dallas walking into the Olympus at Ross apartment complex (now named Macallan at Ross) at around 6 pm - her white jeep seen abandoned nearby. She was witnessed on CCTV footage pacing back and forth on her cellphone and making phone calls, close by her ex boyfriend, Ryan’s, apartment near the elevator, just over 3 hours after having lunch with him. She was reported missing after she failed to pick up her son from the babysitter that evening - something Prisma would never do is abandon her only child. The chilling thing about this is that it appears there was nothing off about the day she went missing, at least that’s what WE thought - until we dove in. Is there a red herring within this episode? Any clues that point to what happened to Prisma, or where she is, or what happened? We will explore it all, as well as statistics on missing persons and why this case is an example of why we all need to pay way more attention and diligence to missing minorities.

    S6 E7 - NO MORE BS - Revisiting Justice for Katie Palmer

    TODAY'S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY INDIPOP! Special deals and offers for our listeners can be found at info.indipop.co/NEFARIOUS S6 E7 -- NO MORE BS - Revisiting Justice for Katie Palmer CW/TW - discussion of reckless driving, sexual abuse/assault, addiction and murder. A quick recap - Katie Palmer was a 39 year old mother of two. She was a middle school science teacher, who LOVED animals and had a smile that could warm the heart of the most callous human being. It could melt a snowman. She loved ALL of her kids - not just her two children, but also was pretty much a significant source of love for the ones she taught, as well. She truly embodied kindness and her love was pure and honest. One morning, April 21, 2020, she was walking alongside a road with her husband, John Palmer, looking at a particular bird called killdeer when she and John both were struck from behind, knocked out of their shoes and thrown approximately 70 feet. The impact severely injured John, breaking his back - but he had the strength to immediately move to Katie’s side. She was barely hanging on, and we would come to find out that the impact had ended up killing her. Today we will talk to John Palmer and offer up some updates and some ways to actively help obtain justice in this case.
