Serial Napper | True Crime for the Chronically Tired

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

In March 2021, 33‑year‑old Sarah Everard disappeared while walking home from a friend’s house in South London. What began as a missing person’s case quickly turned into one of the most shocking and heartbreaking stories the UK has ever seen...because the man responsible wasn’t a stranger in the dark. He was a police officer. This episode takes a deep, updated look at the full story of Sarah Everard’s murder; who she was, what happened on the night she vanished, and how her death sparked an international movement demanding change for women’s safety and accountability within policing. We’ll revisit the original coverage of this case and layer in new details from recent investigations, public inquiries, and reports exposing how Wayne Couzens—an armed officer in the Metropolitan Police—was able to abuse his position of authority to commit this heinous crime.

When 25‑year‑old Joshua Saulteaux from Whitefish Lake First Nation, Alberta, scratched a ticket and won $1 million, it was supposed to be the start of a new life. Instead, just weeks later, he was gone, leaving behind his new RV, his phone, and a haunting scene of blood inside. In this episode, we trace Joshua’s short road from celebration to disappearance, exploring the fear he felt in his final days, the unanswered questions in his case, and how a violent past may have followed him home. We also uncover what lottery winners in Canada are really risking the moment their names go public and why sudden wealth can sometimes bring deadly attention. Joshua’s story is complex. He was involved in a horrific crime in 2021 that claimed two lives... a truth that can’t be ignored. Those victims, Deidra Aldridge and Daniel Grandbois, deserve to be remembered. But Joshua served the sentence handed down to him, and his disappearance remains a tragedy that no family should have to endure. Listen as we unravel how fortune, fear, and unfinished business collided in the case of Joshua Saulteaux: the man who won the lottery… and then vanished.
