    Tracey Kirkpatrick

    Tracey Kirkpatrick

    Tracey Lynn Kirkpatrick was a 17-year-old with the world at her fingertips and worked hard to make that happen. She had a solid plan to get her bachelor’s degree and then attend law school, and she worked two jobs to realize this dream. But on March 15, 1989, while working at a women’s clothing store in Frederick, Maryland, that was all stripped away from her when she was brutally murdered. The week this episode airs marks 35 years since that night, and her case continues to baffle investigators.
     
    If you have any information, please contact the Frederick Police Department at 240-674-2612.

    Ann Marie Burr

    Ann Marie Burr

    The name Ann Marie Burr may sound familiar. Especially if you are well-versed in the history of famous serial killers in the United States, specifically Ted Bundy. For decades, people have speculated that 8-year-old Ann Marie from Tacoma, Washington, may have been Bundy’s first kill in 1961, long before the murders he confessed to.
     
    But what’s fact and fiction concerning Bundy’s possible involvement in Ann Marie’s case has been greatly misunderstood. So today, I want to reel it in, consider all possibilities, and focus on what we know.

    If you have any information, please call the Tacoma Police Department at (253) 798-4721 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

    Claudia Lawrence

    Claudia Lawrence

    In 2009, Claudia Lawrence lived in the idyllic city of York in North Yorkshire, England. At 35 years old, she seemed to have a great routine going for her. She worked as a chef at the University of York’s Goodricke College Roger Kirk Center, about two miles from her home.
     
    Every day, she woke up, went to work, and came home. Several nights a week, she met her regular group of friends at her favorite pub, The Nag’s Head, which was only four doors down from her two-story townhome. She kept a routine so tight that some likened it to the film “Groundhog Day.”
     
    But this routine was interrupted on March 19, 2009, when she seemingly stood up her best friend Suzy Cooper for a night at the Nag’s Head. But Suzy knew this was not like Claudia. Then Suzy found out Claudia hadn’t shown up for work that day either. Suzy says she could have never imagined that her best friend would go missing or that the media pressure she and Claudia’s family craved for her would quickly turn on them.

    If you have any information about Claudia Lawrence and are in Yorkshire, call 101 for the non-emergency police line. If you are calling from abroad, dial +44 1904 933043.

    Ryan Shtuka

    Ryan Shtuka

    In the early morning of February 17, 2018, Ryan Shtuka attended a house party on Burfield Drive in Sun Peaks, British Columbia, Canada. What happened after the party is unclear, but it's believed he started walking toward his home, a short distance away. While Ryan was familiar with this walk, the weather was very cold, and there was heavy snowfall at that time.
     
    Ryan didn't make it home, and his supervisor became concerned when he didn't show up for work that morning. Ryan was later reported missing, and an intense search began immediately. Despite these efforts, little is known about what happened to Ryan after that party.

    Anyone with information is asked to contact Kamloops Rural RCMP at 250-314- 1800 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477.

    Follow Ryan's family's pages on Facebook & Instagram.

    Denise Pflum

    Denise Pflum

    In March 1986, Denise Pflum really had it all. She was at the top of her senior class at Connersville High School in Indiana, in leadership positions in several clubs, and a member of the National Honor Society. She’d been accepted into her college of choice, and it was her last spring break before graduating.
     
    When Denise suddenly goes missing, her father’s cousin is assigned to her case. The Pflums let out a sigh of relief, knowing that someone who knows Denise and cares for her is on the case.
     
    But over 30 years later, the case remains unsolved, and the same rumors about how the investigation was handled and who may have been responsible are still swirling.
     
    18-year-old Denise Pflum was last seen at about 12:30 pm on Friday, March 28th, 1986, at her home in Connersville, Indiana. She is white with brown hair and brown eyes and is 5’6”. At the time of her disappearance, she weighed approximately 135lbs and was wearing striped jeans, a Motley Crue t-shirt, and old sneakers.
     
    Anyone with information is asked to call The Fayette County Sheriff’s Department at (765) 825-1110 or the Indiana State Police at (765) 778-2121.

    Celina Mays

    Celina Mays

    12-year-old Celina Mays went missing from her home in Willingboro, New Jersey, on December 16, 1996. Celina was reported missing, but her disappearance wasn’t really treated as a potential crime by her family or local law enforcement. In fact, it took days for police to find out perhaps the most important detail – 12-year-old Celina was pregnant and due in only two weeks.
     
    Now, it’s been over 25 years, and Celina is still missing. But what they’ve found out about her life leading up to that day paints a dark, sinister picture of what her fate could have been.
     
    Anyone with information about Celina Mays is asked to call The Willingboro Police at 609-877-3001 or NCMEC at 1-800-TheLost.

Doing the good work

This podcast is one of my top favorite true crime podcasts. I personally love your voice, it’s soothing and calm. I am one of those listeners that gets in bed, pops AirPods in, and falls asleep listening to true crime. So glad I started listening!

AshBath ,

The voice

I love true crime podcasts and I really really tried to listen but I couldn’t get past the podcasters voice; it sounds so monotone and robotic. It was really hard to listen to, I tried listening to a couple but I actually couldn’t finish an episode.

AR518 ,

Hard to listen to

While the cases seem interesting, I couldn’t get through even the first story because of the inflections at the end of every sentence. I tried really hard, but it was very distracting and took away from the storytelling.
