     Our case begins with a narcissistic mother, a woman who begins to see her children as burdens instead of sources of love, as the relationship begins to warp with resentment and distance. What begins is a dynamic of manipulation slowly becomes full enmeshment—particularly with one daughter, who starts to mirror the same self-centered behaviors where boundaries blur and the mother’s sense of identity becomes entwin...

     Sometimes, the most terrifying crimes are the ones that seem to happen without reason — crimes where the victims and perpetrators have no connection, no shared history, and no clear motive. It’s the randomness that chills us to the core: the idea that danger can strike anyone, anywhere, at any time. These are the stories that unsettle us the most because they shatter our sense of security. We like to believe that...

     We’re once again delving into a case that has haunted the small town of Delphi, Indiana—the horrific murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German, known as The Delphi Murders. When we first covered this case in 2021 (actually, our very first episode), it was a chilling mystery with very little known. Now, with new revelations, the story has only grown more complex.

A case filled with shocking twists, u...

"The moment is here. It's time to teach him. The world doesn’t have room for weakness, and it's my responsibility to make sure he understands that. I lift him up and place him on the counter, his small frame steady, curious. He’s my son, and it’s my job to shape him into a man—the man who will carry my name, my legacy.
He looks up at me, eyes wide with trust. He doesn’t question. He doesn’t doubt. I...

     This is the story of the collision between two extremes. On one side, a man using free speech as his weapon and speaking truth as he saw it. On the other, a group fueled by a toxic ideology, so consumed by their hatred that they sought to silence him forever. This is a story that reveals the dangers of free expression in a society where words have the power to inspire, but also to inflame.

     As we unr...

     Home is supposed to be the safest place, a sanctuary where the chaos of the outside world is kept at bay. Yet, the chilling reality is that this is often an illusion. In the blink of an eye, the ordinary can transform into a nightmare. On the night of December 30th, 2000, a quiet, simple middle-class family experienced this fear and horror firsthand. Their once safe haven became a trap of terror when a deranged k...

And like aspens, showing their beautiful golden leaves one day, are gone the next. Today’s story begins with a similar illusion of the changes in seasons, where a seemingly perfect union between husband and bride promises a lifetime of golden moment...

     Socrates once said, "From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate." We see this play over again and again as cases show those darkest desires in humanity. We will discuss a case that unfolds these forbidden passions, where obsession and envy intertwine and take a path where justice can no longer be seen with clarity. A love triangle that ends in the murder of one woman and motivations of those...

     “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They are leading you into futility. They speak a vision of their own imagination, not from the mouth of the Lord......I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’  How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions of their own minds?”  Th...

     In this update, we revisit the haunting case of Harmony Montgomery, a story we delved into with great depth in our recent episode: The Murder of Harmony Montgomery (so if you haven’t listened to the episode, please do so before listening to this). The question that often lingers in our minds is: what propels individuals to act in the ways they do? The journey through true crime research sometimes leads us into th...

     Go into the darkest corner of your house and most likely you will find a spider web. Whether abandoned or residing its present guest or victim, it can make us think of how similar they are to cases. Strings formed and connected into intricate designs and never-ending links... Some that we are never even aware of... Or just out of reach. Could our natural curiosity with the rapid advancements in technology be temp...

     For a cult to form, it takes a balance; a symmetry of circumstances and encounters for cults to find their footing, drawing both followers and leaders into their circle. For the followers, it's like standing alone on the edge of a cliff, feeling the weight of loneliness until a welcoming hand reaches out, promising unity and acceptance. The allure lies in never facing solitude again, even if it means abandon...

     OPEN.  COLD.  NO ANSWERS.  There is something unsettling when you open a case file and the first thing our eyes go to is usually these two things: the date of the crime and the status.  Seeing a case remain OPEN is one of the most difficult crimes to unfold.  A story cannot always be told in a linear fashion from beginning to end but more in fragments.  It leaves something to be wanted... We live in a world seeki...

     There is a Latin expression, "Res Ipsa Loquitur" meaning ('the thing speaks for itself', or literally 'the thing itself speaks') and I can't help but see this being exactly what What Cries Out stands for.  This expression is common in law where the facts make it self-evident that negligence or other responsibility lies within a party, therefore it is not necessary to provide ext...
