Skip the banter: 5:48 (give or take 30 seconds depending on ads)
It was the Saturday before Thanksgiving when 22-year-old Dru Sjodin left work, walked through the mall, and called her boyfriend while heading to her car. Four minutes into the call, her voice shifted—distracted, tense. She said, “Okay, okay,” and the line went dead. He thought the call had dropped. By the time her abandoned car was found, night had fallen and the trail was already cold. What no one knew yet was that the voice on the other end of that call had just heard Dru’s final moments of freedom.

The murder of Ruthie McCoy | Ep 199
Skip the banter: 00:05:02 (give or take 30 seconds depending on how many sponsors)
You ever hear something so strange it sounds like a made-up urban legend...until you realize it actually happened?
This week, we talk about Ruthie Mae McCoy, a woman trying to piece her life together in one of Chicago’s most dangerous housing projects. She’d finally started turning things around, getting treatment, going back to school, planning her escape from a place that had swallowed so many lives. But then, she made a 911 call. She said someone was coming through her bathroom wall.
What happened next is one of the most haunting true stories we’ve ever covered—eerie, tragic, and almost impossible to believe. If you think “Candyman” was just a movie, wait until you hear what really happened in apartment 1109.

The death of Madison Scott | Ep 198
Skip the banter: 00:07:34 (give or take 30 seconds based on ads)
In 2011, 20-year-old Madison Scott headed to a party at a remote campground in British Columbia, a place where the wilderness stretches as far as the eye can see. She was ready for a night of fun with friends, her tent pitched by Hogsback Lake. But by morning, Maddy was gone. Her truck was still parked, her rings left in the dirt, her phone and keys nowhere to be found. What happened after the party died down? Allison tells us the rest of the story.

The murder of Ryan Poston
Skip the banter: 00:06:15 (give or take 30 seconds based on ads)
In 2012, Ryan Poston was a rising star in Cincinnati’s legal scene, a 29-year-old attorney with big dreams and a bigger heart. But on a quiet fall night, a 911 call shattered everything. His 21-year-old girlfriend, Shayna Hubers, claimed she shot him in self-defense, painting a chaotic scene of violence. Yet her chilling words on the call, talking about firing extra shots to “make sure” he was gone, tell a different story.
Allison tells us the rest of the story.
