Gone, But Never Forgotten

Over all of the episodes that we have talked about here on the podcast I don’t think that we have ever covered one that is quite like this one in so many ways.  This week we are going to talk about a young woman who went missing not once, not twice, but three different times within her life and sadly she has not been heard of or found since her last disappearance.  This is a case that covers a contentious, with some people, diagnos...

In a world that is filled with crime and murder and people doing unexplainable and awful things to one another one of the worst things that I can find to read and write about is the killing of children by other children.  As we are going to see in this case today our children are growing up in a world that is sick and our children are growing up in a world that seemingly breeds hatred around each and every corner.  This week we are...

There have certainly been cases where entire family’s have disappeared under strange circumstances over the years.  In many case it is believed that the family’s simply needed to, or wanted to, start a new life and went off the grid to do so.  This week though we are going to look into a case that is certainly much more sinister than that and even though the remains of a husband, wife and young daughter were recovered, proving that...

Out of the 51 States that make up the United States of America, Oklahoma is ranked 14th highest when it comes to their Crime Index rating.  Oklahoma had a violent crime rating of 4.20 which is just above the national median of 4.  The odds of becoming a victim of a violent crime are approximately 1 in 238 in the state.   Last year there were 270 reports of murder, 2313 reports of rape, 1632 reports of robbery and 12656 reports of a...

Much of humanity is driven by some combination of the desire to make a lot of money and the desire to be recognized, known and remembered in some way, shape or form, long after their time here on this earth has come to an end.  It is believed that part of the reason for those desires is that people inherently quest for immortality.  The unfortunate thing however is that, as we touched on in last week’s episode on Stanislav Reshetni...

On December 1st, 2020 the culmination of months of what was known as "trash streaming" would come to a head for a streamer who went by the name "ReeFlay", Stanislav Reshetnikov.   For many months Stanislav had been abusing his girlfriend, his supposed friends and any people that he could convince to be put on display and himiliated online while he made money streaming and taking donations and requests for the awful things that he ...

Almost every single parent that lives in this world will tell you that their child, or children, are the most important things in their life.  They will do everything for their kids and they will do anything to ensure their safety.  If you are one of the people in this world though that has been unfortunate enough to lose a child, those feelings amplify to levels that you likely could never even imagine.  The old adage is that a pa...

A lot of the criminal violence that we see around us is actually because of conflict and is even moralistic in nature.  Often times the criminal that we learn about is someone who has been wronged or they have at least perceived that they were wrong, and therefore they are doling out their own brand of justice in some regard.  This is largely why things like the legal system and juries of our peers for example have been created ove...

Throughout history we can find a lot of cases of things like Munchausen Syndrome where a person suffers from a psychological condition where they pretend to be sick so that people can care for them because they seek the attention that would come, or comes with that.  This week though we are going to look at a case where a woman went way above and beyond physical illness to get attention, and ultimately money for a case that garnere...

Welcome to Episode 119 of our series, "Gone But Never Forgotten", where we unpack the heartbreaking yet inspiring tale of Adam Simji, a 22-year-old finance student whose life was tragically cut short when he tried to help two seemingly stranded women. Known for his selfless heroism, Adam's story is a chilling reminder of the dystopic state of our society, yet also highlights the resilient human spirit.

Domestic Violence is unfortunately one of the fastest rising crimes in the entire world and that was really just exasperated during the pandemic, especially in countries where families were essentially told to stay in their homes, only leaving home for essential things in order to stop the spread of the virus.  That meant that countless people who had suffered domestic abuse in the past were essentially forced into a situation wher...

It is so easy to point fingers and poke holes in the ways that law enforcement, lawyers and the system deal with cases, criminals and victims.  I have done it here on the show and people have likely been doing it since the advent of laws and punishments for crimes.  One thing that most of us don’t lend enough credence to is the fact that it can be incredibly difficult to sift through the truths of multiple people in order to find t...

This spine-tingling episode delves into the horrific story of Armin Meiwes, the infamous 'Master Butcher' whose chilling deeds defied the boundaries of human comprehension.

We live in a broken and increasingly broken world, of that there is little doubt when you take a look around yourself.  You see mental and physical health struggles, you see death and assaults everywhere.  Within our homes we see divorces, domestic assaults and even murder.  I think for a lot of us true crime lovers out here, one of the most baffling things is when you hear about a parent taking the life of their own child or child...

Over six hundred thousand people go missing within Europe each and every year on average.  Thankfully, many of those cases go resolved when the person in question is found by either the police, the family, or both.  There are of course though plenty of cases that go unsolved for a time and plenty of cases that remain unsolved forever.  This week we are going to look at a mysterious case where the missing person case went unsolved f...

The foolish game goes by many names.  In Canada we call it Ding Dong Ditch or Knicky, Knicky, Nine Doors.  In The US it’s called Doorbell ditch and Ring and Run and in Europe it goes by names like Chapppy, Knock Off Ginger and more.  Most people know the premise.  You get dared by a friend to run up to a stranger’s house and either knock on the door or ring the doorbell and then you, and your amused friends, either run or you hide....

No story that we could tell would be anything except for mortifying when it deals with the death, the kidnapping or the sexual assault of a child.  This weeks case unfortunately deals with all three of those things and centers around a sexual predator who was known to police and who had served time previously for sexually assaulting minors.  It took eight years and a lot of elaborate work for the police to finally get their man and...

Something that I have talked about a lot on this podcast is the fact that I do believe that internet sleuths and podcasts like this one are something that can be an assistance to open cases.  However, much on the flip side there are many, many times throughout history where we have seen that the victims of crimes and the families of victims of crimes can have their lives SEVERELY damaged and even ruined by people who are always qui...

Have you ever hit that point in a case where you just go ick?  What is it about a case that makes you realize that this one hits a little bit differently than the other ones?  What is it that truly makes your skin crawl?  For Julie, I know that it’s cases when children get hurt, kidnapped or murdered.  That was a line in the sand for her.  For me, it’s cases like this one.  Grooming seems like such an insignificant thing when you t...
