True Crime 24 Hours

If you’re looking for gripping true crime without the filler, small talk, or fiction, you’ve found it. True Crime 24 Hours is built for the ultimate binge-listener. We dive deep into the most disturbing solved and unsolved mysteries, cold cases, unexplained disappearances, and shocking murders from around the world. We don't just read headlines—we tear apart the police reports, analyze the forensic evidence, and ask the questions the official files left unanswered. Every case we cover is 100% real. From crime scenes staged to look like art, to killers who hide in plain sight, to interrogations that unravel impossible lies. Whether it's a 40-year-old cold case finally cracked by DNA, or a modern digital mystery where the clues exist only on a deleted hard drive, Mike puts you right at the center of the investigation. What to Expect on True Crime 24 Hours: Immersive Storytelling: No banter, no distractions. Just straight-to-the-point narratives that pull you into the timeline from minute one. Cinematic Details: We focus on the exact details that change everything—the missing zip ties, the silent dogs, the phone that posted after the victim was dead. Relentless Content: Your true crime fix, around the clock. New episodes drop every single day at 3:33 AM and 9:00 PM EST. True crime isn't just about who did it. It's about how they were caught, the mistakes made along the way, and the victims who deserve to have their stories told.

    SERIAL KILLER: John Wayne Gacy

    In December 1978, fifteen-year-old Robert Piest disappeared after stepping outside a Des Plaines, Illinois pharmacy to speak with a contractor named John Wayne Gacy. What investigators found beneath the floor of Gacy's home in Norwood Park Township led to the conviction of one of the most prolific serial killers in American history, with 33 confirmed victims. Decades later, one victim still has no publicly confirmed name, and the Cook County Sheriff's DNA initiative continues to seek family references that could finally close the last file. Anyone with information about a family member who disappeared in the Chicago area during the 1970s and may be connected to this case is encouraged to contact the Cook County Sheriff's Office at 1-800-333-4847.

    SERIAL KILLER: Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer

    In 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer was arrested at his Milwaukee apartment after seventeen men and boys were killed there over more than a decade, their remains hidden inside ordinary furniture and appliances. The case raised unresolved questions about whether repeated prior police contacts, including the return of a drugged fourteen-year-old boy to Dahmer's door, could have prevented specific later killings. No formal comprehensive review has fully answered that question. Anyone with information about unresolved victim identifications from this case is asked to contact the Milwaukee Police Department cold case unit at 414-935-7360. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children can be reached at 1-800-843-5678.

    SERIAL KILLER: Ted Bundy

    Beginning in 1974 and continuing across at least seven states, Ted Bundy abducted and murdered dozens of young women while moving freely through campuses and communities, exploiting his intelligence and social charm to evade suspicion for years. Convicted and executed in 1989, Bundy claimed more than 30 victims, but investigators have never confirmed a final count, and some remains linked to his movements have never been identified. Forensic genealogy is now being applied to unidentified remains from the 1970s in the hope of returning names to families still waiting. Anyone with information about unresolved disappearances from the 1970s should contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Persons at 1-800-843-5678.

    He Said Madeline Soto Walked Into School. She Was in the Passenger Seat.

    Madeline Soto turned thirteen on a Thursday in February 2024, and had her birthday party that Sunday at her grandmother's house. Every morning she texted her closest friend, who woke up to the messages waiting. On Monday nothing came. That afternoon her mother stood outside Hunter's Creek Middle School and Maddie never walked out. The man who said he had dropped her off had stopped at a dumpster inside their own apartment complex before the drive to school ever began. --- Madeline "Maddie" Soto, 13, lived in the Venetian Bay community of Kissimmee, Osceola County, Florida. She was last seen on the night of Sunday, February 25, 2024, and was reported missing the evening of Monday the 26th after she failed to arrive at school. Her body was found on March 1 in a wooded area near Saint Cloud. The medical examiner determined she had been strangled and ruled the death a homicide. Stephan Sterns, her mother's longtime boyfriend, was arrested on February 28 on sexual-abuse charges after investigators recovered images and videos from his Google account documenting abuse dating back to 2019, when Maddie was eight. A grand jury indicted him for first-degree murder in April 2024, and prosecutors announced they would seek the death penalty. On July 21, 2025, he pleaded guilty to twenty sex offenses and no contest to first-degree murder — a plea that permits conviction without admitting guilt, meaning he has never acknowledged killing her — and the judge adjudicated him guilty. He received twenty-one concurrent life sentences without the possibility of parole, and the death penalty was withdrawn as part of the agreement. Jennifer Soto, Maddie's mother, was questioned repeatedly, including under an investigative subpoena, and was not charged. --- This account is drawn from the investigative record: gate and highway surveillance footage, license plate reader data, the forensic search of the complex dumpster, digital forensics on both phones and on the Google account obtained by warrant, the medical examiner's findings, police interviews with family, roommates and school staff, and the July 21, 2025 plea hearing. --- This episode discusses the sexual abuse of a child. It is described without graphic detail. Maddie's friends and classmates were children at the time and are not named here.

    Baby H's Nanny Was Told the Camera Saved Nothing. There Was a Second.

    Months before her due date, Dina went looking for someone who could care for a newborn and a recovering mother as one job. She found a referral on RedNote, called the number, and a woman told her she had used this nanny herself. Baby H was born five days before the period prosecutors would later put in a charging document. Her parents had told the nanny that their baby monitor was not saving recordings. There was another camera in the room. --- The family lived in Hillsborough, California, in San Mateo County, and has spoken publicly only under pseudonyms: the parents as Dina and Tim, or D and T, and their premature daughter, born September 22, 2024, as Baby H. They hired a confinement nanny on a three-month contract at $10,000 a month after a referral posted on the Chinese social platform RedNote. They fired her on October 3, 2024, after reviewing home security footage, and reported the allegations to Hillsborough police later that month. On January 8, 2025, the San Mateo Daily Journal reported that San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe had charged 56-year-old Guitian Lui with five counts of child abuse, covering conduct alleged between September 27 and October 2, 2024. Wagstaffe said Baby H received medical attention and had no physical injuries. Lui was reported to have returned to China after being fired, and an arrest warrant was expected once the charges were processed. She has not been tried or convicted, and no arrest or return to custody is established in the reporting used here. The parents allege that the woman who recommended the nanny was the nanny's own daughter; statements attributed to that daughter say her mother used her RedNote account without permission. The charges reported name one person. --- This episode follows the parents' own account as given to ABC7 and to the San Francisco Standard, the mother's more detailed public statements as reproduced in Chinese-language reporting and narrated by Rotten Mango, the San Mateo Daily Journal's report on the filing, and public statements from Hillsborough police, the San Mateo County District Attorney's office and the Chinese consulate in San Francisco. --- The children in this case are not named. They are referred to only as their parents have referred to them publicly.

    Manohara Pinot Wrote Two Words on a Napkin in Eyeliner. They Said Help Me.

    At sixteen, Manohara Odelia Pinot traveled to Malaysia to meet a prince's parents. During the visit she was told she would be marrying their son that month. She laughed - she thought it was a joke. The invitations, she was told, had already gone out. She went through with the ceremony on one promise: that afterward she could go home to Jakarta. Nine months later, in a restaurant in Singapore, she slid a businessman a napkin with two words on it, written in eyeliner. --- Manohara Odelia Pinot, an Indonesian model with an American father, was sixteen when she married Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra, the third son of the Sultan of Kelantan, on 26 August 2008. She said she was kept under supervision in Kelantan, that her passport was held by others, that she was pulled onto a private jet at a Jeddah airport while her mother was left on the tarmac, and that inside the royal household she was assaulted, injected with an unidentified substance and cut with a razor. She also alleged Fakhry raped her on a boat trip before the wedding. Fakhry denied every allegation through his lawyer. She got out in Singapore on 31 May 2009, at seventeen, after passing a note to the businessman Dato Kadar Shah and then pressing a hotel elevator's emergency button; Singapore police, her mother and United States embassy officials were involved in her departure. She filed a police complaint in Jakarta that June; Fakhry filed his own report in Kuala Lumpur accusing her of false allegations, and in July 2009 sued her and her mother for defamation in Malaysia, seeking 105 million ringgit. After their lawyers withdrew and no replacements were appointed, the court entered judgment in default against them on 5 November 2009 and, on 11 March 2010, set damages at 6 million ringgit - about 1.8 million US dollars. No criminal court ever tried the abuse allegations, which remain disputed. Manohara maintained her account and said she would not pay the award. --- This account is built from Manohara's own interviews after her return, including her interview with Malaysiakini, from her mother Daisy Fajarina's public statements, from contemporaneous reporting in the Indonesian and Malaysian press and the Los Angeles Times, and from the record of the Malaysian defamation proceedings. --- This episode describes allegations of sexual and physical violence against a teenager. Manohara was sixteen and seventeen during the events recounted here and is named because she spoke about them publicly under her own name; her sister is not named.

    Desirrê Freitas Flew In to Help a Friend. Her Passport Went Into a Safe.

    For years, Desirrê Freitas paid a spiritual adviser she had found on Instagram to talk through her relationship and her life. In April 2022 the adviser said she was in crisis and needed her. Desirrê flew from Germany to a house outside Austin to help. Within weeks her passport was in a safe and a bill was waiting: the flight, the room, the furniture, and the witchcraft she had been told was protecting her. Then came the nightly target she had to reach before she was allowed back inside. --- Desirrê Freitas, a Brazilian who had studied in Canada and was living in Germany, traveled to the United States on a tourist visa in April 2022 at the request of Kat Torres, a Brazilian model and online spiritual adviser with a large following and a published book. In a house in the suburbs of Austin, Texas, Desirrê worked shifts of as much as fifteen hours at a strip club and handed her earnings over; bank statements examined by the BBC showed more than twenty-one thousand dollars transferred to Torres in June and July 2022, and Desirrê said she also handed over substantial sums in cash. Another Brazilian woman, Letícia Maia, lived in the same household. Friends and relatives launched the Searching Desirrê campaign in September 2022. In November, police brought the three women to the Franklin County Sheriff's Office in Maine; in December, Desirrê and Letícia returned to Brazil. In July 2024, a Brazilian judge sentenced Kat Torres to eight years in prison for trafficking and enslaving Desirrê, finding that she had lured her to the United States for sexual exploitation. Torres denies the allegations, maintains her innocence and has appealed. Other women's allegations were still being investigated. Desirrê published her own account under the name her friends had used while looking for her. --- This account is drawn from Desirrê Freitas's interviews with O TEMPO and O Globo, BBC reporting that included her bank statements and a recording made before a police welfare call, the Brazilian podcast A Coach's reporting on Kat Torres's 2017 television appearance, the program Cidade Alerta, and the July 2024 sentencing in Brazil. --- This episode discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7.

    Brittany Zamora's Husband Texted Her to Cry. The Boy's Father Was Calling.

    His parents had one rule about the bedroom door: it stayed open. Early in 2018, a thirteen-year-old boy in Goodyear, Arizona quietly stopped leaving it that way, and his stepmother put an app on his phone that watched for certain words. One of them was baby. The account sending those messages belonged to his sixth grade teacher, Brittany Zamora. What his parents did not know that night was that other children in that classroom had already put their concerns in writing, more than a month earlier. --- Brittany Zamora, 27, taught sixth grade at Las Brisas Academy in the Liberty Elementary School District, west of Phoenix. In early February 2018, students gave Principal Tim Dickey written reports about her attention to one boy. The district said it investigated internally, found favoritism, told her to stop, and did not notify law enforcement. She stayed in her classroom. On March 21, 2018, after the boy's stepmother found the messages, school personnel called police; Zamora was arrested the following day. The case also involved an eleven-year-old classmate who told investigators he had been asked to act as a lookout, and who described sexual questions directed at him. She surrendered her teaching certificate in December 2018 and pleaded guilty on June 11, 2019 to sexual conduct with a minor, attempted molestation of a child, and public sexual indecency. There was no jury verdict. On July 12, 2019, Judge Sherry Stephens sentenced her to twenty years in prison and lifetime probation, saying she had violated a position of trust. Zamora told the court she was ashamed and remorseful; after sentencing, her attorney publicly blamed the boy and read a statement in which Zamora said Arizona had treated her unfairly. The family sued the school district for two and a half million dollars over its handling of the earlier student reports, and sued her husband, Daniel Zamora, alleging he knew of the abuse and failed to report it. The district acknowledged receiving the rumors and failing to call police while disputing the family's account of what it knew; the lawsuit was not a court finding against the principal. On July 15, 2019, the family's lawyer said Daniel had reached a confidential settlement, still subject to probate court approval. The claim against the district remained ongoing at that point. --- This episode is built from police reports and summaries of the children's interviews, the family's civil filings and the school district's responses to them, courtroom reporting from the June 2019 plea and the July 2019 sentencing hearing, and local Arizona news coverage including KTAR. --- Both children in this case were minors. They are not named in this episode, and no identifying details about them are included.
