Ari Squire | 187
EAri Squire was a successful businessman, living comfortably with his wife, Denise, in their upscale Lake Barrington, IL home. By all accounts it was a great life but in Feb 2008, it would all change. What followed a horrible accident was a puzzling investigation marked by unanswered questions, strange coincidences, and a trail of clues that never quite added up. As loved ones searched for answers, authorities were left trying to determine whether Ari was the victim of a tragic accident—or something far more complicated.

Ep 168Lauryn Licari | 168
E** ORIGINALLY RELEASED AS A SUBSCRIBER-ONLY EPISODE IN MARCH 2025 . At the time we covered it, Lauryn did not want her name to be public, so we use the pseudonym Hailey. ** We covered the case of Kendra & Lauryn Licari for a bonus episode on March 24, 2025. With the new release the Netflix documentary, "Unknown Number", we've decided to re-release for all to hear. In 2020, 14 year old Lauryn Licari started getting harassing text messages from an anonymous bully. This lasted over a year and finally the parents got police involved. What they discover is shocking and repulsive.

Sandra Birchmore | 167
EThis case blew my mind and I have to start with this PSA: stick around until my very last sentence... New information came out 2 months ago and it throws in one more twist to an already twisty, infuriating case. Sandra Birchmore was born in Stoughton, Massachusetts and didn't have a great life. Her mom was chronically ill, her dad was out of the picture, she didn't have a lot of support...until she found the Stoughton Police Explorer's Program, a youth program for kids interested in police work. Sandra always dreamed of becoming a cop so this was right up her alley & she thrived in the program. As an adult, she still struggled and on February 1st, 2021, after a tough couple of years, she was found dead in her apartment. It was quickly ruled a suicide, but fortunately, that ruling wasn't going to fly with friends and family.
