DE019: The Severed Head, Pennsylvania’s Most Disturbing Unsolved Mystery?

In this episode of Dead Ends, we look into one of the strangest and most unsettling unidentified person cases in Pennsylvania. In December 2014, a severed human head was discovered in Economy Borough, western Pennsylvania. The woman had been embalmed. She had undergone post-mortem preparation. And despite forensic work, national attention, and years of investigation, she still has not been identified. Who was she? How did her remains end up there? And why did parts of the case seem to point toward funeral preparation, cadaver handling, and a world most people never think about? We break down the known facts of the Economy Borough Jane Doe case, the forensic details, the theories investigators explored, and the disturbing questions that still have no clear answer. This podcast contains discussions of death, crime, and disturbing themes.

DE014: Marliz Spannhake and Colleen Stan, An Aura of Foreboding

In this episode, we dive into one of Unsolved Mysteries’ most unsettling cases — The Ghost in Apartment 14. What starts as a seemingly classic haunting quickly spirals into something far more disturbing, blurring the line between paranormal fear and real-world danger. A woman moves into Apartment 14 hoping for a fresh start, but almost immediately begins experiencing strange and escalating disturbances. Unexplained noises, objects moving, and unusual smells give way to physical paranormal events. When friends and family witness unusual activity for themselves, the case takes a darker turn. As investigators dig into the apartment’s past, a violent crime connected to the unit is uncovered — the kidnapping and murder of Marie Elizabeth Spannhake and also, the kidnapping and escape of Colleen Stan. We break down the timeline of events, discuss the leading theories and the most important question: why is Marie Elizabeth Spannhake’s case still unsolved? What We Cover: The reported haunting of Apartment 14 - escalating disturbances and unexplained injuries Witness accounts from friends and family The apartment’s violent history - the disappearance of Marie Elizabeth Spennhake The kidnapping and escape of Colleen Stan Why this case remains unsolved ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of violence, physical & sexual assault, kidnapping, murder and references to cults. Listener discretion is advised. Join the Conversation: What case from this year stayed with you the most? And which survival story inspired you? We’d love to hear from you.

BANDE-ANNONCE

Dead Ends: Where the trail goes cold... we keep digging

Our podcast is a deep-dive investigative series exploring some of the most haunting and complex true crime cases in modern history. With a focus on unsolved mysteries, questionable investigations, and media manipulation, we peel back the layers of official narratives to ask the uncomfortable questions others often avoid. We blend forensic analysis, historical context, and survivor perspectives with a critical yet compassionate approach — not for shock value, but to seek truth and accountability. From cruise ship disappearances to cold case cover-ups, we aim to illuminate the shadows where justice may have faltered.
