    The Man Who Calls a Missing Child His Perfect Crime

    The Man Who Calls a Missing Child His Perfect Crime Cold moorland, five vanished children, and a man who treated the search like entertainment - one child was never found while photographs and coded plans chronicled the rest. How can ordinary life hide such deliberate cruelty, and where does the missing boy remain? In this episode, we trace the timeline, the people, and the physical evidence left behind on Saddleworth Moor and in Manchester, asking whether the details the police uncovered finally explain the silence that continues to this day. Person: Ian Brady Person: Myra Hindley Location: Saddleworth Moor, twelve miles from Manchester Period: 1963-1965 Event: Five children disappeared; four bodies recovered - On October 6, 1965, 27-year-old Ian Brady killed a man with an axe in front of 17-year-old David Smith. - Hindley was 23 and Brady 27 when they worked together at a chemical supply company in Gorton in the early 1960s. - Five children disappeared between 1963 and 1965: Pauline Reed (16), John Kilbride (12), Keith Bennett (12), Leslie Anne Downey (10), and Edward Evans (17). - Police found an album of photographs showing Hindley standing above graves, and one photo positioned directly over John Kilbride’s burial site. - Investigators discovered a coded plan in Brady’s cartera and a left luggage ticket in Hindley’s prayer book that led to two suitcases at Manchester Central Station.

    The Truck Driver's Camera: Teen Photo Taken Minutes Before Murder

    The Truck Driver's Camera: Teen Photo Taken Minutes Before Murder A photograph shows a fourteen-year-old girl chained and bruised in a barn, eyes vacant in a stare that had already accepted what was coming next-taken minutes before she died. The FBI later estimated the same trucker may have been responsible for roughly forty-five homicides; how did so many deaths go unlinked for so long? In this episode, we follow the evidence found in a truck, an apartment, and a stack of photographs to trace what investigators knew and when they knew it, asking how a single arrest revealed only a fraction of the suspected killings. Person: Robert Ben Rhodes Date: April 1, 1990 Location: Interstate Ten near Casa Grande, Arizona Victim: Regina Walters, age 14 Confirmed murders: 3 - Trooper Michael Miller found a naked woman chained in the sleeper berth on April 1, 1990. - Rhodes was 44 years old at the time of the April 1990 arrest. - FBI Behavioral Science Unit later assessed Rhodes was likely responsible for approximately 45 homicides. - Investigators recovered a white towel with a substantial amount of blood in Rhodes’ Houston apartment. - Photographs in Rhodes’ apartment showed the same young woman with bruises in different colors, indicating injuries across multiple days.

    The Wrong Woman: Shot for a Stranger's Debt, or Mistaken Target?

    The Wrong Woman: Shot for a Stranger's Debt, or Mistaken Target? A woman shot once, at close range, less than a block from her front door on a quiet Fountain Valley morning-no motive, no prints, and a single nine-millimeter casing left like a period on the pavement. Witnesses described a calm Black man who walked back to a white compact car and left; nearly a year later detectives still had no answer. How did one small, accidental detail change everything about why Janie Carver died? In this episode, we follow the timeline of Janie Carver’s killing and the exhaustive early work by Fountain Valley detectives, from the crime scene details to the hundreds of thousands of flyers and the $50,000 reward, as one lead eventually emerges from outside the city; could a connection ten months later finally explain the shooting? Person: Janie Carver Date: June 11, 1995 Location: Fountain Valley, California Weapon evidence: one nine-millimeter shell casing Reward offered: $50,000 - Janie Carver was 46 years old and a flight attendant who lived less than one block from the shooting location. - The shooting occurred at approximately 8:00 AM on Saturday, June 11, 1995, as Janie returned from her usual run. - Witnesses reported a Black male of medium build who fired one shot, walked calmly back to a small white compact car, and drove away. - Investigators distributed roughly 250,000 flyers across Southern California and circulated a composite drawing without generating a tip that identified the shooter. - Janie’s husband, Al Carver, underwent a polygraph the day before Thanksgiving 1995 and was cleared after detectives found no motive in her relationships or finances.

    Chained, Silent, Convicted: The Woman Missouri Kept for 29 Years

    Chained, Silent, Convicted: The Woman Missouri Kept for 29 Years She sat in a prison interview room and said she would not be eligible for parole until 2028 - when she would be ninety-seven - after already serving twenty-three years; the state of Missouri had decided that was fair. The detail that refused to let go was this: her lawyer instructed her not to mention that she had been chained to a bathroom wall, locked in a basement for five days, and forced into prostitution and theft - so who, then, did the law actually protect? In this episode, we tell the story of Shirley Lou Luet and the legal framework that silenced evidence of long-term abuse, covering the events from her childhood sale to her incarceration and the later legal efforts to reopen her case. How did a rule about battered spouse evidence transform into a mechanism that helped convict her? Person: Shirley Lou Luet Event: Chained to a bathroom wall and left; locked in basement for five days without food or water Date: Missouri recognized battered spouse syndrome as a legal defense in 1987 Period: She had already served twenty-three years by the time she was told parole would be in 2028 Organization: Missouri Battered Women's Clemency Coalition reviewed her case in 1998 - She was seventy years old when told she would not be eligible for parole until 2028. - She had already been incarcerated for twenty-three years at that point. - She was chained close enough to a bathroom that she could barely reach it, then driven away by Melvin. - She was locked in a basement for five days without food or water after trying to leave. - In 1998, four Missouri law schools formed a coalition that reviewed twelve cases, including hers, and advanced eleven.

    The Bathtub Poem: How the "Angel of Mercy" Left Clues

    The Bathtub Poem: How the "Angel of Mercy" Left Clues A ripped page left a ghost: indentations on a notepad revealed a poem about a body in a bathtub signed "the angel of mercy" - and the man who wrote it had already killed twice. What did those faint impressions hide, and why did two neighbors end up arranged in bathtubs with dozens of stab wounds? In this episode, we tell the story of the crimes, the evidence found in Waterford Drive, and the moments that turned routine welfare checks into murder investigations - all leading back to one man and one overlooked clue: could an impression on paper solve the case? Person: Andrew Dawson Person: Dave Matthews Person: Paul Hancock Date: 25 July 2010 Location: Waterford Drive, Derby - Dave Matthews was found in a bathtub on 25 July 2010 with 18 stab wounds. - Investigators initially assessed Matthews' death as a fall before autopsy revealed 18 stab wounds and clothing had been changed. - Paul Hancock, living one floor above Matthews, was found later with 22 stab wounds and had been dead about five days. - Andrew Dawson was 48 in summer 2010 and had previously killed Henry Walsh in August 1981 at age 18. - Henry Walsh had £1,800 hidden in his property; Dawson withdrew £50 from Walsh's pension book after the murder.

    He Bought a Knife on His Birthday - The Man in Black He bought a double-bladed Commando knife on his forty-ninth birthday and drove it back along the North Wales coast, the weapon sitting on the passenger seat beside him. A man who owned three cinemas and wore black leather almost every day confessed to four murders and admitted to nearly fifty attacks on men across two decades - so how did he remain invisible to everyone around him for so long? In this episode, we follow the timeline from the purchase at an armory in Rhyl to the discovery of a body on Anglesey and the door knock in Kinmel Bay, describing the people, places, and items that tied the case together and asking how a respected local businessman could harbor a secret life of violence.

    Inverted Umbrella, Lost DNA: The Teen Gone in the Rain

    Inverted Umbrella, Lost DNA: The Teen Gone in the Rain A rain-soaked bus stop, an umbrella turned into a water-filled bowl, and a DNA profile that sat unnamed for thirteen years - what connects a fifteen-year-old found alive against a school wall to crimes in another city? How did one shoe and a frozen queue of unprocessed samples finally point detectives to a killer? In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from the night Evelina LeBlanc left a football game to the discovery at Jefferson Elementary, the stalled investigation, and the later violent attack in Portland whose evidence intersected with the cold DNA. Follow the trail from the overturned umbrella and two torn acrylic nails to the moment the anonymous profile began to take a name. Person: Evelina LeBlanc Date: November 5, 1994 Location: Jefferson Elementary, San Leandro, California Status: Died the morning after the attack Detectives: Autry James and Rick DeCosta - Evelina was fifteen years old when she left a football game early because of rain. - Officer Jim Stark found her at 8:30 p.m., propped against an exterior wall with an inverted umbrella beside her. - A single shell casing was found near the umbrella and doctors found two acrylic nails torn from her fingers. - DNA from the attacker was recovered from Evelina’s body and entered into a database but matched nothing for thirteen years. - In March (year not specified), a woman named Elena Thompson survived a stabbing on a bridge in Portland after a man approached her and later fled on a blue bicycle.

    He Painted Their Trust - Then Stacked His Victims Like A Cross

    He Painted Their Trust - Then Stacked His Victims Like A Cross A charming drifter painted a mural at a school for the deaf and blind and, within three months, five people who welcomed him were dead. The killer arranged three of the bodies into a cross and left, and one question lingers: why did he take the time to stage them after the murders? In this episode, we tell the story of how Daniel Lee Sebert arrived at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind, the relationships he formed there, and the sequence of killings on February 19, 1986 that ended with three bodies deliberately positioned in a living room - what drove him to act and to arrange the scene? Person: Daniel Lee Sebert Date: February 19, 1986 Location: Talladega, Alabama Victims: Five people, including two children aged five and four First victim discovery: Linda Odum found March 30, 1986 in a cemetery off Alabama Highway 21 - Sebert arrived at the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind in December 1985 using the false name Daniel Spence. - He had previously stabbed his partner 29 times in Las Vegas in 1979 and escaped prison in December 1981. - On February 19, 1986 Sebert strangled 32-year-old Linda Odum in his apartment, wrapped her in sheets, and left her in a cemetery. - That same night he killed 24-year-old Sherry Weathers and her sons Chad (5) and Joey (4), waking the children before killing them. - Investigators found Sherry, Chad, and Joey stacked and arranged in the center of a living room in the shape of a cross.
