Crime Incident is a true crime podcast about murder investigations and the evidence they actually rest on. Each Crime Incident episode rebuilds one case from the record: the police investigation as it really unfolded, the forensic evidence and the DNA that held up, the witness testimony that quietly fell apart, and what a jury finally decided. Some cases end in a verdict. Others end in an appeal, an exoneration, or a case file that has stayed open for forty years. The catalog runs from famous murder trials to disappearances almost nobody covered. A missing person hunted as a suspect while his own body lay one floor above the crime scene. A killer caught by an embossed emblem on an envelope. A confession that arrived decades too late. A DNA profile matched to a phantom who never existed. Murders closed by forensic genetic genealogy, and murders where detectives are still asking for tips today. Three rules hold in every Crime Incident episode. Confirmed evidence and disputed claims are never blurred together, and you are always told which is which. Victims are treated as people, not as plot devices. And when a case is still unsolved, you get its exact legal status, the reward if there is one, and the number to call. Crime Incident is true crime for people who want the case file, not the rumor. Crime Incident. The record, told straight.

    Her Glasses Came Back in the Mail: The Leigh Occhi Case

    Her Glasses Came Back in the Mail: The Leigh Occhi Case On the stormy morning of August 27, 1992, as the remnants of Hurricane Andrew swept toward Tupelo, Mississippi, 13-year-old Leigh Occhi was left home alone for the first time in her life. Less than an hour later, her mother returned to an open garage, blood smeared through the house, and no Leigh. Thirteen days after that, an envelope postmarked from a town thirty miles away arrived at the house. Inside were Leigh's eyeglasses. No note. No demand. Nothing else, ever. In this episode, we read the crime scene on Honey Locust Drive the way investigators had to: the blood in the bedroom, hallway, and bathroom, the nightgown in the hamper, the attempted cleanup, the missing shoes and sleeping bag, and a house with no forced entry that has never stopped being the center of the case. We follow the search the storm destroyed, the skull in a soybean field that was wrongly identified as Leigh, the three polygraphs that kept her mother under suspicion for decades without a single charge, and the convicted child predator from her church world whom her mother still names, a man who died in 2021 without ever answering questions. Person: Leigh Marine Occhi, 13 Date: August 27, 1992 Location: Tupelo, Mississippi Case: Unsolved disappearance and presumed homicide; declared legally dead in October 2024 Legal status: No arrests and no charges in 34 years; the investigation remains open, and in January 2025 the FBI, MBI Cold Case Unit, and Tupelo police searched the property with radar, K-9s, and a backhoe - The house that speaks: the crime scene, detail by detail - The Booneville envelope: six stamps wet with water, a disguised hand, and a ruse - The 1993 skull misidentification and the family it wounded twice - The mother, the polygraphs, and both sides of thirty years of suspicion - Oscar "Mike" Kearns: the suspect who took his answers to the grave Tips: Tupelo Police Department 662-841-6491. The Leigh Occhi case is still open, and investigators believe the answer may never have left Honey Locust Drive. Tired of ads? Listen to this podcast and 200+ more ad-free on OBOMEDIA.

    The 40-Second Phone Call: The Anthonette Cayedito Case

    The 40-Second Phone Call: The Anthonette Cayedito Case In the small hours of April 6, 1986, nine-year-old Anthonette Cayedito vanished from her family's apartment in Gallup, New Mexico, on the edge of the Navajo Nation. According to a later family account, someone knocked at the door claiming to be an uncle, and the little girl who answered was never seen again. There was no forced entry, no struggle, no evidence at all. Then, a year later, the Gallup Police Department received a 40-second call from a young girl who said "I'm Anthonette Cayedito" and that she was in Albuquerque, before a man's voice shouted "Who said you could use the phone?" and the line went dead. In this episode, we follow the Anthonette Cayedito case through its two unverified ghost moments: the 1987 phone call attributed to the case file, and the napkin reading "Help me, call the police" left by a teenage girl in a Carson City, Nevada diner around 1991. We also examine the hardest chapter with precision and restraint: her mother Penny's changing accounts, the failed FBI polygraph, the unadjudicated statements from a 1994 interview, and her death in 1999 before agents could question her one last time. Person: Anthonette Christine Cayedito, 9, of Navajo and Italian descent Date: April 6, 1986 Location: Gallup, New Mexico Case: Unsolved disappearance; presumed abduction Legal status: No one has ever been arrested or charged; the case remains open with the Gallup Police Department and the FBI, which offers a reward of up to $25,000 - The knock at the door and the theory that Anthonette knew her abductor - The brown truck sighting and the search that found nothing - The 1987 call and the Carson City napkin, both never verified - The mother's polygraphs, changed statements, and death without answers - The MMIP context: a Navajo child, three jurisdictions, and decades of thin resources The Anthonette Cayedito case is one of America's most haunting unsolved disappearances, and someone in Gallup may still hold the missing piece. Tips: Gallup Police Department or the FBI tip line. Tired of ads? Listen to this podcast and 200+ more ad-free on OBOMEDIA.

    When Nothing Is the Evidence: The Imbo and Petrone Case

    When Nothing Is the Evidence: The Imbo and Petrone Case Just before midnight on February 19, 2005, Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone Jr. walked out of a bar on Philadelphia's South Street toward his black Dodge Dakota pickup. Neither of them, nor the truck, has ever been seen again. No phone activity, no bank activity, no toll cameras, no broken glass, no witnesses. How do two adults and a full size pickup vanish from one of the busiest streets in the city without leaving a single trace? And why did that total absence convince the FBI this was no accident? In this episode, we investigate the disappearance of Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone as the FBI came to see it: a case where the nothing itself is the strongest clue. We follow the cheerful night at Abilene's bar, the last surveillance frame of the couple walking to the truck, the electronic flatline that began at midnight, and the bridge cameras that never saw the Dodge Dakota cross into New Jersey. Then we trace the machine built around the void: the multi agency task force, the murder for hire theory the FBI has pursued since 2008 without ever naming a suspect, the chop shop theory versus the volunteer divers who searched the rivers, and two families who have carried twenty one years of anniversaries with dignity. Person: Danielle Imbo, 34, and Richard Petrone Jr., 35 Date: February 19, 2005 Location: South Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Case: Unsolved double disappearance; investigated by the FBI as a possible murder for hire since 2008 Legal status: No arrests, no charges, no named suspects; the case remains open and active as of the 21st anniversary in 2026, with an FBI reward of up to $15,000 - The last surveillance footage and the walk toward the truck - Zero phone, bank, and toll activity: what 2005 era evidence can and cannot prove - The estranged husband questioned, the alleged threats, and his denial - The task force, the reward, and the FBI's plea for tips The Imbo and Petrone disappearance remains Philadelphia's cleanest vanishing, and someone still knows where the truck went.

    Eighteen Days Before Anyone Asked: The Relisha Rudd Case

    Eighteen Days Before Anyone Asked: The Relisha Rudd Case On March 1, 2014, eight-year-old Relisha Rudd was recorded on motel surveillance walking down a hallway with Kahlil Tatum, the 51-year-old janitor from the D.C. General Family Shelter where she lived. She entered the room and was never seen coming out. Eighteen days passed before police opened an investigation. How does a city with a school system, a child-welfare agency, and a shelter holding 600 children lose one little girl for two and a half weeks? In this episode, we reconstruct the calendar of the Relisha Rudd disappearance day by day: the absence notes signed by a "Dr. Tatum" who never existed, the two-business-day truancy rule that was never triggered, the Home Depot purchases on March 2, the Amber Alert that came only on March 20, and the ten-day manhunt that ended with Tatum dead in a Kenilworth Park shed, never questioned, from the same gun that killed his wife. We weigh the theories with their owners named: the police belief that he killed her, the trafficking question officials both raised and ruled out, and the family's hope that she is still alive. Person: Relisha Tenau Rudd, 8 years old Date: last confirmed sighting March 1, 2014 Location: Washington, D.C. Case: disappearance from the D.C. General Family Shelter; open missing-person and possible-homicide investigation Legal status: no one has ever been charged; the only named suspect, Kahlil Tatum, died on March 31, 2014 before he could be interrogated; MPD reiterated on the 12th anniversary in March 2026 that the case remains open, with an FBI reward of up to $25,000 - Who Relisha was, in the words of the adults who loved her - The grooming of an entire family inside a failing shelter - The 18-day bureaucratic gap, hour by hour, agency by agency - The 2014 city report and the two dozen reforms it forced - Why D.C. General was closed in 2018 and what replaced it The Relisha Rudd case is still open, and somewhere, someone knows what happened after that motel room door closed. Tired of ads?

    Sixty Seconds in the Park: The Dulce Maria Alavez Case

    Sixty Seconds in the Park: The Dulce Maria Alavez Case How does a five year old girl vanish from a public playground in daylight, thirty yards from her mother, with witnesses playing basketball nearby? Why did twenty nine hours pass before New Jersey issued an Amber Alert for a suspected child abduction? And what happens to a case when its only direct eyewitness is a three year old boy? In this episode, we follow the disappearance of Dulce Maria Alavez from Bridgeton City Park in New Jersey on September 16, 2019: the ordinary afternoon that began with ice cream bars, the moment her little brother returned to the car alone and pointed toward the red maintenance sheds, the delayed statewide alert, the two unidentified men in the case file, and the massive investigation that has now turned to artificial intelligence in search of the missing puzzle pieces. Person: Dulce Maria Alavez, age five, of Bridgeton, New Jersey Date: September 16, 2019 Location: Bridgeton City Park, Bridgeton, Cumberland County, New Jersey Case: Missing child, suspected abduction, no arrests Legal status: Open and active investigation; no suspect ever identified or charged; no family member named a suspect - The narrow window at the playground and the account of a three year old, the only direct witness to the taking - The twenty nine hour Amber Alert delay and the question of whether it cost the search its best chance - Two different unidentified men: the suspect description from the alert and the October 2019 sketch of a possible witness - The immigrant community of Bridgeton, the fear of coming forward, and the prosecutor's promise to witnesses - The 2025 artificial intelligence review, the false December 2025 rumor refuted by the prosecutor, and the tip lines that remain open The disappearance of Dulce Maria Alavez remains one of America's most haunting unsolved missing child cases. Listen now to the full story of Dulce Maria Alavez, and if you were in that park that day, investigators still want your call. Tired of ads? Listen to this podcast and 200+ more ad-free on OBOMEDIA.

    The Killer Was in the File for 38 Years: The Lyon Sisters Case

    The Killer Was in the File for 38 Years: The Lyon Sisters Case On March 25, 1975, Sheila Lyon, 12, and her sister Katherine, 10, walked to Wheaton Plaza mall in suburban Maryland for pizza and the Easter displays, carrying less than four dollars. They never came home, and their disappearance became the unhealed trauma that taught a generation of Washington, D.C. parents to fear letting children out alone. Yet the answer was on paper within a week: on April 1, 1975, an 18 year old walked into mall security claiming he saw the girls forced into a car. He failed a polygraph, was dismissed as a crank, and his statement sat misfiled for 38 years while he committed child sex offenses across several states. His name was Lloyd Lee Welch Jr. In this episode, we follow the Lyon sisters case from an ordinary spring break outing to the 2013 moment when cold case detective Chris Homrock reread the file, matched Welch's 1977 mug shot to a forgotten composite sketch, and opened a two year interrogation duel with a compulsive liar. We cover the bloodstained Hyattsville basement, the excavations on Taylor's Mountain in Virginia, and the felony murder plea built without bodies, without DNA, and without any established account of how two children died. Person: Sheila Mary Lyon, 12, and Katherine Mary Lyon, 10 Date: March 25, 1975 Location: Wheaton Plaza, Montgomery County, Maryland Case: Abduction and murder; convicted through a 2017 guilty plea Legal status: Lloyd Lee Welch Jr. pleaded guilty in 2017 to two counts of first degree felony murder, receiving two concurrent 48 year terms; he entered Virginia custody in early 2025 amid a new probe into possible other crimes; the sisters' remains have never been identified - The misfiled witness statement that held the answer for 38 years - Thirteen prison interviews and a story that never stopped changing - Bone fragments, a tooth, and eyeglass wire on Welch family land - Why relatives implicated by Welch were never charged - A father's decades helping crime victims while his own case slept The Lyon sisters case was never truly a mystery. It was a failure of institutional memory, and this is what it cost. Tired of ads? Listen to this podcast and 200+ more ad-free on OBOMEDIA.

    Tried for His Life Three Times: The Timothy Hennis Case

    Tried for His Life Three Times: The Timothy Hennis Case In May 1985, Katie Eastburn placed a classified ad to rehome the family dog before a move to England. Three days after a Fort Bragg sergeant answered it, she and her daughters Kara, 5, and Erin, 3, were found murdered in their Fayetteville home on Mother's Day, while 21-month-old Jana survived nearly three days alone in her crib. How does the same man get convicted, sentenced to death, fully acquitted, and then convicted and sentenced to death again for the same crime? And what does the Constitution's double jeopardy protection really mean when DNA arrives twenty years too late? In this episode, we follow the Eastburn family murders from the dog ad that brought a stranger to the door, through the eyewitness case that convicted Timothy Hennis in 1986 and collapsed at his 1989 retrial, to the untested rape kit swab discovered in 2005 and the 2006 DNA match that changed everything. Then the legal earthquake: the Army recalled the retired Master Sergeant to active duty in 2006 specifically to court-martial him, using the dual sovereignty doctrine to step around his acquittal, and a military jury needed only three hours to convict. Person: Kathryn "Katie" Eastburn, 31, and daughters Kara, 5, and Erin, 3; survivor Jana, 21 months Date: May 9 to 10, 1985; discovered Mother's Day, May 12, 1985 Location: Fayetteville, North Carolina Case: Triple murder and rape; the only person in U.S. history tried capitally three times, going guilty, not guilty, guilty Legal status: Convicted at court-martial in April 2010 and sentenced to death; upheld through 2020, Supreme Court cert denied January 2021; on military death row at Fort Leavenworth with no execution date set - The eyewitness in the driveway, the composite sketch, and the white Chevette - The unmatched hair, blood, and footprints that never went away - The "Mr. X" confession letters postmarked on sentencing day - The 2006 recall to active duty and the double jeopardy workaround - Gary and Jana Eastburn's testimony, 25 years later The Timothy Hennis case left America with two opposite verdicts for one night, and both still stand.

    She Vanished on the Last Day of School: The Alissa Turney Case

    She Vanished on the Last Day of School: The Alissa Turney Case On May 17, 2001, the last day of her junior year, 17-year-old Alissa Turney was signed out of Paradise Valley High School by her stepfather around noon. She was never seen again. She left behind her Nokia phone, her keys, her makeup, and $1,800 in the bank, money that was never touched. Why did police file her as a runaway and open no investigation for seven years? Why did a man who recorded nearly every phone call into his home have no recording of the one call he claimed proved she was alive? And how did a 2008 raid meant to solve a disappearance instead uncover 26 pipe bombs, 19 firearms, and a 97-page manifesto? In this episode, we follow the Alissa Turney case through the eyes of the person who refused to let it die: her little sister Sarah, who turned a podcast and a viral TikTok campaign into thousands of tips and, in August 2020, a grand jury indictment of their father for second-degree murder. Then we walk through the 2023 trial with absolute precision: the excluded hearsay, the deathbed recording, and the Rule 20 judgment of acquittal that ended it before the jury ever deliberated, leaving a case that is closed but not solved and can never be criminally reopened against him. Person: Alissa Marie Turney, 17 Date: May 17, 2001 Location: Phoenix, Arizona Case: Disappearance, presumed death; no remains ever found Legal status: Michael Turney was acquitted of second-degree murder under Rule 20 in July 2023 and is legally innocent of her death; double jeopardy bars any retrial. The abuse allegations were excluded as hearsay, were never charged, and he denies all wrongdoing - The runaway note and the seven lost years - The camera in the bedroom vent and hundreds of recordings - The weapons cache that sent the prime suspect to prison for something else - Sarah Turney's TikTok to indictment timeline - What a Rule 20 acquittal really means, and what justice looks like after it The search for Alissa Turney is not over. Her sister is still looking. Tired of ads? Listen to this podcast and 200+ more ad-free on OBOMEDIA.
