In this chilling installment of Dark Dialogue, we venture into the shadows that connect two of the most unsettling disappearances in New England: Brianna Maitland and Maura Murray.

Brianna vanished in 2004, her car discovered mysteriously backed into an abandoned farmhouse wall. Just six weeks earlier and 90 miles away, Maura Murray disappeared under eerily similar circumstances. No struggle. No trace. No goodbye.

In Episode 5: Cro...

In Part 4 of our Brianna Maitland series, Dark Dialogue dives into one of the most personal—and controversial—chapters yet: the brutal assault Brianna endured just weeks before she vanished.

Seventeen-year-old Brianna was punched in the face at a party by Keallie Lacross, a former friend, in what many describe as a jealousy-fueled attack. The injuries were severe: a broken nose, concussion, and long-lasting emotional fallout. Brian...

How many serial killers does it take before a region sounds the damn alarm? Apparently, more than a dozen.

With names like Bundy, Long, Rhoades, Hall, Baldwin, and the Gallegos, this episode peels back the brutal t...

On March 19, 2004, Brianna Maitland vanished after leaving her shift at the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery, Vermont.

In this gripping second installment of Dark Dialogue: Vermont’s Vanished, we return to March 20, 2004—the day Brianna Maitland’s abandoned green Oldsmobile was found backed into the side of the crumbling Old Dutchburn Barn. Inside the car? Two paychecks, her contact lenses, migraine meds, and the haunting sense that she meant to come back. Outside? A broken necklace. A wrecked investigation.

The scene looked staged. The FBI said as...

They were daughters, dreamers, and drifters—until they crossed paths with a man who thrived in shadows.

On February 9, 2004, Maura vanished on a rural stretch of Route 112 in New Hampshire. Now, we revisit every angle one last time. Host John breaks down the most credible theory: that Maura, intent on a weekend getaway, was picked up and killed by someone she trusted—or by a local predator who seized a vulnerable moment. We d...

In October 1980, a teenage girl’s body was found in the Nevada desert—nude, bruised, stabbed, and stripped of her identity. For 41 years, she was known only by the crude “S” tattoo on her arm and a grave marker that read “Jane Doe.” Her name was Tammy Corrine Terrell.
