    Taken: Natalee Holloway

    A bonus episode for all! We're recapping, reacting, and adding some insider insight to the latest Netflix documentary, Taken: Natalee Holloway.  If you're new here, Natalee's story is personal to us because we went to high school with her. Natalee's case is the one we're asked about the most and with the help of one of her best friends, Claire Fierman, we give our 2 cents (plus some). Natalee Holloway went on her senior trip in 2005 and never came back. While we all know who is responsible, it’s been over 21 years and her body has never been found A special thank you to two people who helped made this episode happen at a moment's notice: our producer, Jacob Hollabaugh and the GOAT, Claire Fierman (co-host of the podcast Before You Cut Bangs) Learn more about your ad choices.

    Shannon Matthews | 232

    In 2008, the town of Dewsbury was shaken after 9-year-old Shannon Matthews didn't return home from school. It was the coldest night of the year and she had never run away before. Shannon's mom, Karen Matthews, was struggling financially as a single mom, and when Shannon's kidnapping doesn't get the same attention as another missing young girl, Madeleine McCann, there is a huge conversation about social class. Finally after 24 days and the area's largest investigation since the Yorkshire Ripper, we get answers and they are even more shocking than you can imagine.

    Throwback to Episodes 64-67: Natalee Holloway

    With the new Netflix documentary, Taken: Natalee Holloway, coming out this week, we've decided to re-release our series on Natalee's case. A few things to keep in mind: This was originally released in 2023 when we were still little baby podcasters and certainly had some things to figure out, so please don't judge our former selves too harshly if we sound a little cringey.  This was originally a 4 part series, but we're re-releasing it as one long episode. We've done our best to clean it up, but some transitions between the parts may sound abrupt. You may also hear references to the other parts but just ignore those—you're getting all of it in one episode, we promise!  Natalee's case is personal for us and is the one we are asked about most often. We're from the same hometown as Natalee and as two people who knew her, we wanted to bring a more personal perspective to this story. Natalee Holloway went on her senior trip in 2005 and never came back. While we all know who is responsible, it’s been over 21 years and her body has never been found Learn more about your ad choices.

    Denise Merhi | 230

    On June 26, 2010, a woman walked into her friend Denise Merhi's house to get her car keys. The house was eerily quiet and when the woman called out, nobody answered. She found her keys, then found a horrific scene in the kitchen. After a very stressful few minutes, she then sees a shadow reflected on the wall. The killer was still in the house. What she didn't know was that the scene is much more horrific than she realized. It's what urban legends are made of: a mass murder and a message written on the wall in blood. Police knew Denise Merhi had been torn between two men: Michael Eric Ballard & Brian Miller. Did one of them do this?
