They vanished. They were silenced. They were gunned down.
Three lives. Three tragedies. One unforgettable episode of Vivid Nightmares.
In this installment, host Bridgett Densie uncovers the truth behind three chilling cases from America’s dark past and present:
🔸 Lillie Belle Allen – A 19-year-old Black woman gunned down by a white mob in 1969 while visiting family in York, Pennsylvania. What followed was decades of silence — until justice was forced to speak.
🔸 The Florence Salon Murders – In 2001, three women — Dorothy Harris, Brenda Patch, and Cynthia Paulus — were found brutally slain in a small-town Montana beauty salon. Two men were indicted years later, but no one has ever been convicted.
🔸 Terrance Williams – In 2004, a 27-year-old man disappeared after being taken into custody by a Collier County deputy in Naples, Florida. No arrest. No body. No answers. Just silence where there should have been truth.
These cases span generations, states, and systems — but they all share one thing: someone tried to erase them.
🎙️ Listen now to Vivid Nightmares: Vanished, Silenced, and Gunned Down.
Their stories deserve to be heard. And remembered.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
