True Crime 48 Hours — true crime stories for listeners who can't let go of a case. A true crime podcast by OBOMEDIA, built on real events. From the infamous case the whole world watched to the unsolved case you have never heard of, from classic true crime to dark true crime and disturbing true crime, our true crime reports bring you real crime stories, real murder cases, true murder stories and unsolved mysteries — one true crime case at a time, straight from the OBOMEDIA true crime vault. Because if a killer is still out there, the story is not over. Every true crime story in our archive begins with a question no one could answer: an unsolved murder, a cold case reopened decades later, a mysterious death the coroner couldn't explain, a disappearance that never made sense. Open the crime files with us. Each episode follows the crime investigation from the first call to the trial — how investigators build a murder case, where a police investigation goes cold, and what justice looks like when it arrives late, or never arrives at all. Some episodes hunt a serial killer who hid in plain sight. Others reconstruct a family murder that tore a town apart, or a murder mystery that turned neighbors against each other. And then there are the missing: a missing person report filed too late; missing persons whose trails went cold within days; a missing woman last seen leaving work; a missing girl whose face was on every screen in the country; a missing man found dead years after he vanished; the missing and murdered whose names deserve to be remembered. We tell every crime story with respect for the victim, for the families, and for those who survived. New episodes every week.

    Natalia’s Ghost Trail: A Disappearance Without a Trace

    The ghost passage of Natalia: seven months later: The disappearance of Natalia Hitrago Moreno in Cartagena, Colombia Cartagena, August 18, 2021. A 21-year-old woman enters a gastrobar accompanied by a man. Hours later, he boards a flight to Bogotá. Seven months later, a plane ticket is issued in her name to travel to Mexico. Natalia was never found. In this episode, we explore the contradictions surrounding the disappearance: a trip announced "with friends" that occurred with a man linked to drug trafficking, fraudulent tickets issued under her identity months later, and an investigation that remains in "inquiry stage" without public answers. What happened in Cartagena on August 18, and who continued using Natalia's identity afterward? Victim: Natalia Hitrago Moreno Date: August 18, 2021 Location: Cartagena, Colombia Status: Missing - The last eyewitness was a waitress who identified Natalia by her tattoo on her right shoulder, accompanied by a man whose profile matches Hernán Darío Jiménez. - A Bogotá-Mexico plane ticket was issued in Natalia's name seven months after her disappearance, but Migración Colombia does not confirm actual departure. - Hernán Darío Jiménez, her partner of five years with a documented history of extreme violence, was captured in Mexico City in December 2022 in a drug trafficking operation. - Internal tickets in Natalia's name for Medellín, Bogotá, Pereira, and Cali were found among materials seized from Hernán, suggesting planned movement under a fraudulent identity.

    The Wrong Floor: The Unanswered Death of Frank Suárez

    The wrong apartment: the death of Frank Suárez: The unsolved homicide case of a health advocate. The camera records Frank Suárez entering his building at 7:50 AM on February 25, 2021. Minutes later, his body is found in the internal area. He lived on the 6th floor but fell from the 9th floor. How did he go up three floors for no reason? A witness saw an unknown person forcing his lock that morning, but the police closed the case in less than 24 hours without investigating the lead. In this episode, we explore the four systematic failures that turned this case into a mystery: the unexplained floor, the ignored witness, the complete absence of digital forensic analysis, and the immediate cremation that eliminated any possibility of a second examination. Was it deep depression documented by his family, or was someone else in the building that morning? Victim: Frank Antonio Suárez Marroy Date: February 25, 2021 Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico Status: Closed as suicide (02/26/2021) - Last camera record shows Suárez alive at 7:50 AM; body found minutes later with no witnesses. - He lived on the 6th floor but fell from the 9th floor; mother resided on the 12th floor, which does not explain the stop on the intermediate floor. - Neighbor witness reported unknown person forcing the lock; police never confiscated or analyzed his cell phone or computer. - Body cremated before a second examination, eliminating independent toxicological analysis and subsequent pathological investigation.

    Frank Suárez: the death surrounded by doubts and an investigation closed in less than 24 hours

    The pregnancy that sealed her fate: Betany Bad: The murder of a pregnant sister On the night of May 23, 2024, a mother discovers massive blood in her son's kitchen. The body parts of her daughter Betany are found in three different locations: inside the house, at the neighbor's door, and scattered in the backyard. The horror was not improvised; Jack's journals reveal that it all began when he learned that his sister was pregnant. In this episode, we explore the contradictions surrounding the case: how Jack was declared competent to stand trial while his defense argues insanity due to mental illness, what the word "innocence" meant in his handwritten notebooks, and why a mental health call in 2022 did not prevent the premeditated murder of two victims. Victim: Betany Bad Date: May 23, 2024 Location: Lakeville, Minnesota Status: Guilty plea, sentencing pending (May 2026) - Jack Bad wrote in his journals that his sister "was no longer innocent" after learning of the 17-week pregnancy - The police found a bloody saw, axe, and multiple knives; the dismemberment was deliberate and postmortem - Jack answered orientation questions correctly when arrested but inflicted a wound on his neck - A mental health call in 2022 was the only documented precedent before the first-degree premeditated crime Betany Bad, Lakeville Minnesota homicide 2024, first-degree murder, dismemberment, pregnancy, mental health, premeditation, handwritten journals, true crime English To listen ad-free and access premium episodes, start your 14-day free trial at obomedia.com OBOMEDIA presents true crime storiesa true crime podcast built on real cases.

    Betany Bad: the family crime marked by prior signs that were never addressed

    The 32 witnesses that no one saw: Adrián Jones: The murder of a 7-year-old boy in Piper, Kansas. A mother calls 911 to report domestic violence and asks the police to check the backyard. The officers find human remains surrounded by pigs. But the surveillance cameras installed in the home had recorded everything: nine months of systematic torture documented on video, and a complete child protection system that knew, saw, and did nothing. In this episode, we explore how ten formal reports, forensic recordings of electric shocks and immersion in water, and a statement from Adrián describing head fractures were ignored for two months before his death by starvation. Michael Jones and Heather Colleen Jones shared photos of abuse on social media while internet searches revealed concealment plans. The system knew. Investigations document institutional negligence, bureaucratic gaps between states, and decisions that prioritized silence over intervention. Victim: Adrián Jones Date: September 28, 2015 Location: Piper, Kansas Status: Sentenced to life in prison - 32 surveillance cameras recorded specific tortures: bindings, electric shocks, immersion in dirty water for nine months. - Adrián stated to psychologists in July 2015 that he was beaten and not fed; doctors did not report abuse. - Heather posted on Facebook on December 24, 2014: "Unfortunately, I can't shoot him, but I will try to take everything from him until I feel better." - Social services documented neglect in July 2013 but resolved it only with home services; the family cut contact two months later.

    Adrián Jones: the boy who died after at least ten alerts ignored by the system

    The answering machine that betrayed the killer: The kidnapping of Linda Loaiza López An answering machine pronounces a name: Luis Carrera Almoina. It is March 2001 in Caracas, and Linda's sister has just identified the man who kidnapped her. The police have the name, the number, everything. But Linda disappears in a basement for four months while the system ignores the clearest evidence. In this episode, we explore how an 18-year-old girl was systematically tortured in El Rosal while her case passed through 76 different judges, how the attacker confessed to killing eight women without being investigated for those crimes, and how Venezuelan justice ended up investigating the victim instead of the perpetrator. An investigation that does not end in a national court but in the International Court of Human Rights. Victim: Linda Loaiza López Date: March 27 - July 19, 2001 Location: Caracas, Venezuela Status: Case resolved by international court (2018) - The attacker was identified by name and phone number in the first days, but the police did not arrest him for four months. - Linda was tortured, malnourished, and sexually abused in captivity, suffering 15 reconstructive surgeries after her rescue. - A judge acquitted the attacker arguing "reasonable doubt" and ordered an investigation into Linda and her family instead. - The mattress from the room where the abuses occurred was never collected as forensic evidence.

    Linda Loaiza López: the four-month kidnapping where the State ignored clear evidence from the start

    The night the father interrogated his surviving son: The homicide of Keniata Barrón and Ronnie Bella O'Neal A 911 call where the victim whispers "I'm so sorry, Ron" while a man screams "Allah Akbar." Minutes later, a child emerges from the smoke with exposed intestines, burns all over his body, and deep stab wounds. But the impossible would happen years later in the courtroom: the father accused of killing them represented himself and personally interrogated the only witness who saw everything: his own son. In this episode, we explore the tension between three declarations of psychiatric incompetence and the court's authorization of self-representation in a multiple homicide case. We examine the contradiction between the forensic causes of death (blunt force trauma, not gunshot) and the defense of self-defense; between the child forced to hold the shotgun and his own knife wounds. How did a man diagnosed with active delusional disorder manage to become his own lawyer in a triple murder trial? Victim: Keniata Barrón, Ronnie Bella O'Neal Date: March 18, 2018 Location: Riverview, Florida Status: Sentenced to three consecutive life sentences - Ronnie Bella's body was found so charred that it required identification by dental records, but the recorded cause of death was axe wounds to the neck, not burns. - Ronnie Jr. testified that his father forced him to hold the shotgun while he shot his mother, but the psychiatrists who evaluated the accused months earlier declared him incapable of understanding the charges. - The initial 911 call captured Keniata's voice saying "I was shot," but the autopsy revealed she died from repeated blunt force trauma, not by projectile. - O'Neal argued self-defense during the trial, but he was captured calmly exiting the burning garage, ignoring officers' orders, subdued only with a taser without physical resistance.

    The Killer Who Fooled the System and Killed Again After Being Released

    **The Killer Who Fooled the System and Killed Again After Being Released: The preventable second murder case of a repeat offender.** The records show a man being released after serving time for a violent crime. Declared rehabilitated and low risk, he returns to society under official supervision. Months later, a new victim is found. The circumstances echo his past offense. How did someone already identified as dangerous manage to kill again? Reports indicate prior warning signs, but the system failed to act before it was too late. In this episode, we explore the four systematic failures that turned this case into a preventable tragedy: the underestimated risk assessment, the premature release decision, the lack of effective post-release monitoring, and the ignored behavioral warnings documented before the second crime. Was it a misjudgment by the system, or a chain of negligence that allowed a known offender to strike again? Victim: [Name Unknown] Date: [Unknown] Location: [Unknown] Status: Under investigation / Case review * Official records confirm the perpetrator had a prior conviction for a violent offense before being released. * He was classified as low risk despite documented behavioral concerns and prior patterns of violence. * Supervision after release failed to monitor or restrict his movements effectively. * The second crime mirrored the first, suggesting a predictable pattern that was not prevented. repeat offender, early release, justice system failure, forensic evaluation, criminal profiling, institutional negligence, murder, investigation, true crime, systemic failure To listen ad-free and access premium episodes, start your 14-day free trial at obomedia.com OBOMEDIA presents true crime storiesa true crime podcast built on real cases.

    Ronnie O’Neal: the father who murdered his family, set the house on fire, and then interrogated his own son in court

    Forty-four days: the torture that no one stopped: The murder of Junko Furuta November 1988. A 17-year-old girl is knocked off her bike in Misato, Saitama. What begins as an apparent robbery turns into 44 days of systematic captivity, over 400 documented assaults, and a death whose body will be found in a concrete drum. Her murderers would be released before serving a decade in prison. In this episode, we explore how a house located in Adachi became a criminal meeting point while parents, neighbors, and police remained inactive. We analyze the failures that allowed Junko to call for help on December 30, only for the police to accept the explanation of a dialing error. We reveal why 100 assailants identified by DNA were never prosecuted and how the Japanese juvenile justice system turned the most brutal crime of the 80s into an unresolved debate. Victim: Junko Furuta Date: November 25, 1988 - January 4, 1989 Location: Misato and Tokyo, Japan Status: Closed cases; documented recidivism 2004-2018 - More than 100 assailants confirmed by forensic analysis were never charged or tried. - The police refused to enter the house where Junko had been held captive for 16 days after an initial visit. - Junko's uterus showed severe damage consistent with sustained sexual violence over 44 days. - The four defendants were convicted only of serious injuries, not intentional homicide.
