Two besties from Colorado bringing Justice to victims by telling their stories.

  1. Cassandra Rundle, Melanie Sturm, Detrick Sturm

    3D AGO

    Cassandra Rundle, Melanie Sturm, Detrick Sturm

    In 1985, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, 37-year-old Cassandra Rundle and her two children, Melanie Sturm and Detrick Sturm, were brutally murdered in their home. Quickly gaining national attention as the “Lonely Hearts Murders.” Investigators believed Cassandra may have met someone through personal ads shortly before the killings — a detail that raised disturbing questions about whether she and her children were deliberately targeted. Despite early media coverage and investigative efforts, the case went cold. Nearly four decades later, everyone is still asking the same question. Who murdered Cassandra, Melanie, and Deitrich?

    Heather DeWild

    In 2003, the quiet community of Edgewater, Colorado was shaken by the brutal murder of 30-year-old Heather DeWild. What should have been a straightforward search for answers instead became a case buried by silence, missteps, and unanswered questions. For years, Heather’s family waited—decades, even—as leads went cold and justice felt impossibly out of reach. But this case held a chilling complication that few could have predicted: a shocking twin twist that blurred identities, clouded suspicion, and delayed accountability far longer than anyone could have imagined.

    Adam, Sewell, Juliana

    In the digital age, artificial intelligence promised helpers, companions, and tools that could reshape how we live, learn, and connect. But what happens when those tools blur the line between support and harm? In this episode we confront one of the most urgent controversies in tech: the growing evidence that AI character platforms — including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Character.AI — may pose serious risks to young people’s mental health. As lawsuits mount and regulators scramble to respond, families are stepping forward with heartbreaking stories that no one can ignore. We explore landmark legal battles — including the Raine v. OpenAI wrongful-death lawsuit filed after a 16-year-old’s suicide allegedly linked to conversations with ChatGPT — and high-profile wrongful death claims against Character.AI, where families allege teen users were drawn into emotionally manipulative interactions that escalated into self-harm and suicide This episode isn’t just about technology — it’s about the very real human consequences of design decisions made in Silicon Valley and beyond. For the families left behind, justice means change, accountability, and a reckoning with what unchecked AI can cost us all. Thank you all for another sold out show we can't wait to see everyone Friday night!!

    Andrew Cataldi & Tricia Nordman

    In July of 2000, two young people in Indianapolis, Indiana were killed in a crime that would later be overshadowed by one of the most infamous prison escapes in the state’s history. Andrew Cataldi and Tricia Nordman were complicated, imperfect, real people. Who made mistakes, but they were also more than the worst chapters of their pasts.  Unfortunately, they were betrayed by the very people they trusted. Causing their murders to become tangled in the rise and fall of Sarah Jo Pender and Richard Hull — a case that would eventually grab national headlines when Sarah escaped from prison and disappeared. While the world focused on the spectacle of her escape, the story of Andrew and Tricia quietly faded into the background. This episode brings the focus back where it belongs — on two lives that were cut short, on the gray areas that make people human, and on the truth that a troubled past should never be a death sentence. Because this story isn’t just about a fugitive. It's about Andrew and Tricia who were more than their records. two lives that mattered — and a justice system that struggled to protect their memory. 🎨 Get your tickets now for our live show on Friday January 30th!Join us at Painting with a Twist in Colorado Springs for a True Crime & DIY Craft Night with a free drink included — Tickets are going fast, so grab yours before they sell out!

    Snowden House Murders

    In this episode, we dive into the haunting story of the Snowden family murders—a case tangled in tragedy, second chances, and whispers of a family curse. Once a well-known Southern family, the Snowdens’ legacy would be shattered by violence not once, but decades apart. In the 1990s, a mother and her nephew were brutally murdered. The killer was caught, convicted, and eventually released—given another chance at life. But nearly 20 years later, history took a chilling turn when the same man returned…and another member of the Snowden family was killed. Was this fate, failure of the system, or something darker? We walk through the timelines, the investigations, the parole decision, and the devastating aftermath for a family forced to relive its worst nightmare. Join us as we ask: How many chances does a killer get—and when does tragedy start to look like a curse? 🎨 Live Show Alert!

    Whitney Cerek & Laura Van Ryn

    On April 26, 2006, a devastating crash in Indiana claimed the lives of five Taylor University students. Among those involved were Whitney Cerak and Laura Van Ryn, two young women who had only met earlier that day while helping serve their community. In the confusion that followed, identities were assigned, families were notified, and a funeral was held—while another family waited beside a hospital bed, unaware of the truth. What unfolded next was not the result of malice, but of chaos, trauma, and assumptions made in the darkest moments. This episode explores one of the most haunting cases of mistaken identity, the unimaginable impact on two families, and how the truth finally came to light—changing everything. 🎄 Holiday Merch + Live Show Announcement 🎄 Support the show and rep your favorite true crime podcast this holiday season.
