After Columbine: The Unsolved Murders of Nick Kunselman & Stephanie Hart-Grizzell
On February 14th, 2000—Valentine’s Day—15-year-old Nicholas “Nick” Kunselman and 16-year-old Stephanie Hart-Grizzell were found shot to death behind the counter of a Subway restaurant in Littleton, Colorado. Just ten months earlier, both teens had survived the Columbine High School shooting. They were part of a community still trying to heal… still trying to move forward. That night was supposed to be simple. Nick was finishing his shift. Stephanie had stopped by to wait for him. But sometime between closing time and just before 1:00 AM… something happened inside that restaurant. A coworker noticed the lights were still on. She saw a man leaving through the back...And moments later, she walked in to find both teens dead. Investigators have spent decades chasing leads, reviewing evidence, and re-testing DNA. The case file now spans dozens of binders, with hundreds of interviews and over 150 pieces of evidence. Theories have ranged from robbery to a targeted attack to rumours of a possible drug connection… but none have held up. What remains is a narrow window of time, a fleeting sighting of a possible suspect, and one persistent belief from investigators: Someone knows what happened that night.

She Checked In… and Vanished by 3:32 PM: The Unsolved Murder of Kayo Matsuzawa
She arrived in Auckland at 2:14 PM. By 3:32 PM, she was gone. In September 1998, 29-year-old Kayo Matsuzawa travelled from Japan to New Zealand to study English and explore the world she had dreamed of seeing since she was a child. She was careful. Prepared. Independent. And just months away from returning home. But during a short trip to Auckland, something happened in the space of just over an hour. Days later, her belongings were found in a nearby trash bin. Eleven days later, her body was discovered in a locked utility room between two office buildings, just minutes from her hostel. No witnesses. No clear cause of death. No arrest. Years later, male DNA would be found under her fingernails - proof that she fought back. But even that hasn’t led to a name. In this episode of Serial Napper, we walk through Kayo’s final known movements, the unsettling gaps in the timeline, and the theory investigators keep coming back to: that she may have been targeted inside a bar and led somewhere no one was watching.

Groomed, Taken, and the App No One Was Watching: The Hailey Buzbee Case
17-year-old Hailey Buzbee vanished from her home in Fishers, Indiana, in January 2026. What started as online gaming turned into a year-long grooming process that ended in tragedy. In this episode of Serial Napper, we walk through the case of Hailey Buzbee, from the quiet early morning hours she disappeared… to the digital trail that led investigators across state lines and into the woods of Ohio. Hailey met 39-year-old Tyler Thomas through online platforms like Roblox and League of Legends. What followed was months of communication across apps like Discord, Snapchat, and the encrypted messaging app Session, where conversations can disappear without a trace. This case isn’t about a stranger in a van. It’s about what can happen inside a phone. 17-year-old Hailey Buzbee vanished from her home in Fishers, Indiana, in January 2026.

Violent Night: The Livestream Murder of Natalie McNally
Natalie McNally was 32 years old, 15 weeks pregnant, and preparing for a future she believed was finally falling into place. On December 18, 2022, she spent the evening with her family watching the World Cup final before heading home to her house in Silverwood Green. Hours later, she was brutally killed. Her boyfriend, Stephen McCullagh, seemed like the last person anyone would suspect. He had a public alibi: a six-hour YouTube livestream watched by thousands, showing him at home playing video games, drinking, and joking with viewers. But something about that stream didn’t sit right. What started as a seemingly airtight alibi quickly unravelled into a calculated plan involving prerecorded footage, a carefully timed journey, and a web of lies that placed him closer to Natalie than anyone initially believed. This is the murder of Natalie McNally...a case of control, deception, and a plan that was supposed to be perfect… until it wasn’t.

The Murder of Moriah Wilson: Jealousy, Lies, and the Kaitlin Armstrong Manhunt
Professional cyclist Anna Moriah Wilson was in Austin, Texas, for a race when she was shot to death inside a friend’s home. What first looked like a quiet, targeted killing quickly turned into one of the most bizarre true crime stories in recent years, involving a secret relationship, a jealous girlfriend, an international manhunt, plastic surgery, and a 2023 murder conviction. In this episode of Serial Napper, we revisit the case of Kaitlin Armstrong, the yoga instructor accused of killing Mo Wilson after discovering her boyfriend was still seeing her behind her back. Prosecutors said Armstrong tracked Mo’s location, followed her home, and carried out a planned shooting before fleeing the country using a fake passport. She was later found hiding in Costa Rica after 43 days on the run. This case shocked the cycling world.

The Father Who Said It Was Love: The Robert Latimer Case
In October 1993, a small farming community in Wilkie, Saskatchewan, was shaken when Robert Latimer was arrested for killing his own daughter. At first, Tracy Latimer’s death didn’t seem suspicious. She had lived her entire life with severe cerebral palsy, daily seizures, chronic pain, and repeated surgeries. Her health was fragile, and her family had spent years caring for her through hospital stays, procedures, and constant medical complications. But the autopsy told a different story. Robert later admitted that he had ended Tracy’s life himself, saying he believed he was sparing her from more suffering after doctors told the family she would need another painful surgery. What followed was a trial that divided Canada. Some people believed Robert Latimer was a loving father forced into an impossible decision. Others believed his actions crossed a line that can never be justified. The case sparked national debate about euthanasia, disability rights, parental authority, and whether compassion can ever be a legal defence to murder. Even today, the questions raised by Tracy Latimer’s death remain unresolved. Can killing someone ever be an act of mercy? ⚠️ Listener discretion advised. This episode discusses disability, chronic illness, and the death of a child.
