Serial Napper | True Crime for the Chronically Tired

In the early hours of September 29th, 2021, seventeen-year-old Benjamin Elliott called 911 sobbing, saying, “I just killed my sister… I thought it was a dream.” When police arrived, they found Benjamin covered in blood, clutching a knife, and his twin sister, Meghan dead in her bed. What followed was one of the most haunting and divisive murder cases Texas has ever seen. Benjamin claimed he was sleepwalking when he stabbed his twin, and expert witnesses argued that parasomnia — a rare sleep disorder — could explain everything. But prosecutors saw it differently. Two stab wounds. No sleep disorder diagnosis. And one quiet “hmm” when told his sister was gone. Was this a tragic accident committed by a brain on autopilot? Or the coldest cover story imaginable? In this episode of Serial Napper, we dive deep into the science, the psychology, and the heartbreak of a case that asks one impossible question:How much control do we really have over ourselves?

On the night of March 17th, 1995, six teenage boys from Pickering, Ontario: Jay Boyle, Michael Cummins, Danny Higgins, Chad Smith, Robbie Rumboldt, and Jamie Lefebvre — walked into the cold darkness near Lake Ontario and were never seen again. It was supposed to be just another night of partying over March Break. But by morning, the boys were gone...no calls, no sightings, no trace. Their footprints led down to the marina, and security footage captured three of them wandering near the docks just before 2 a.m. Two boats went missing that same night… but neither the boats nor the boys were ever found. For thirty years, families have begged for answers, only to be met with red tape, misplaced evidence, and vanishing video footage. Police say the boys likely drowned. But without a single piece of wreckage, not one body, or even a floating life jacket, that theory feels paper-thin. In this episode, I’m revisiting the haunting case of the Pickering Lost Boys, breaking down the investigation, the red flags, and the disturbing missteps that still leave families questioning what really happened that night. Were they victims of a tragic accident?Or did something much darker unfold on that dock in 1995?

In October 1975, Ottawa was a picture of calm - polite, predictable, and almost boring in its safety. But that illusion shattered when 17-year-old Robert Poulin, a Catholic school student, carried out one of Canada’s first modern school shootings. Before walking into Saint Pius X High School with a sawed-off shotgun, he set fire to his own home, where firefighters would later discover the body of 17-year-old Kimberly Rabot, his friend and neighbour. In this episode, we dig into the hidden life of Robert Poulin: the quiet boy with good grades and a polite smile who was secretly drowning in shame, repression, and violent obsession. His diaries revealed a mind twisted by guilt, pornography, and resentment, and a plan for destruction no one saw coming. We’ll explore how the Catholic Church and Ottawa’s media handled this tragedy - or more accurately, buried it. Because in 1970s Canada, people didn’t talk about teenage sexuality, mental illness, or male violence. They whispered, denied, and moved on. And in that silence, the lessons from this case were lost.

In August of 1993, ten-year-old Holly Kristen Piirainen vanished while visiting her grandparents’ cottage in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. She’d walked just a few hundred yards down a dirt road to see a neighbour’s puppies...and never came back. Seventy-nine days later, hunters discovered her remains in the woods of nearby Brimfield. More than thirty years later, Holly’s killer has never been caught. In this episode, we retrace that summer day, the massive search that followed, and the decades of leads, suspects, and heartbreak. From the Stanger brothers’ eerie connection to the Molly Bish case, to convicted rapist Gerald Battistoni’s proximity to the scene, and the mysterious “Boston” tank top found near Holly’s body — every clue feels close but never close enough. Now, with modern DNA testing and genetic genealogy back in the spotlight, investigators are hoping technology will finally reveal what time has buried. The Hampden District Attorney’s Office is even hosting another FIGG DNA drive on November 9, 2025, inviting locals to provide cheek-swab samples that could generate long-overdue answers. Because somewhere in those quiet Massachusetts woods, the truth is still waiting to be found. ⚠️ Listener Discretion:This episode contains discussion of child abduction and murder. Please take care of yourself while listening. 📍If You’re Local: You can take part in the Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy event on Nov 9, 2025, from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Brimfield Public Safety Complex, 34 Wales Rd.

It’s the urban legend every parent has whispered at least once: “Check your candy, you never know what could be inside.” But in 1974, that warning wasn’t just a myth. In Pasadena, Texas, eight-year-old Timothy O’Bryan was poisoned by a Pixy Stix laced with cyanide, handed to him by his own father. This is the horrifying true story of Ronald O’Bryan, the man the media dubbed The Candyman Killer. He wasn’t a stranger lurking in the shadows or a neighbour with bad intentions. He was a dad in financial ruin who saw his son’s life as a quick payday.

In the summer of 1990, Gainesville, Florida, was a humid little college town buzzing with new school year jitters...until one week changed everything. Within days, five University of Florida students were brutally murdered in their homes. Doors were barricaded, classes cancelled, and the city descended into full-blown terror. The killer was methodical, staging his victims like something out of a horror film. And he was closer than anyone imagined. This is the story of Daniel Rolling, the man who would become known as The Gainesville Ripper, a drifter raised in abuse and chaos, who left a trail of horror. Before his crimes inspired the movie Scream, they shattered a town and haunted a generation. This episode dives into how one man turned a college campus into a real-life nightmare. Lock your doors. Check them again. Then press play.

Tonight on Serial Napper, we’re stepping into the strange, tragic world of Grady Stiles Jr., better known as Lobster Boy, the carnival performer born with fused “claw-like” hands who turned his sideshow fame into a nightmare for everyone around him. From his childhood under the tent lights of the travelling freak show to his reign of terror at home, Grady’s story blurs the line between fascination and exploitation, between monster and victim. After years of abuse, drinking, and unchecked violence, the very family he tortured finally decided to end the show for good. Set in Gibsonton, Florida, a town built by and for carnival performers, this case feels almost too bizarre to be real...elephants in backyards, low mailboxes for dwarfs, high ones for giants, and one family whose dark legacy became circus legend. It’s a chilling tale of power, pain, and revenge under the big top.

Napa Valley, famous for its wine, rolling hills, and peaceful small-town charm, wasn’t the kind of place where doors stayed locked or nightmares felt real. But on Halloween night, 2004, that illusion shattered when two young women were brutally murdered in their own home. In this episode of Serial Napper, we’re diving into the chilling case of Adriane Insogna and Leslie Ann Mazzara, two roommates whose lives were cut short by someone hiding in plain sight. What began as a quiet evening handing out candy turned into one of California’s most shocking double homicides. For nearly a year, police chased rumours, false leads, and hundreds of DNA samples. The community whispered about jealous lovers, shady exes, even strangers in the vineyards, but the truth was far more disturbing. The killer wasn’t a drifter or a mystery man. He was someone the victims knew, someone who’d sat at their table, someone they trusted. This is the story of how Napa learned that even paradise can have monsters, and how betrayal can wear the most familiar face.

This week on Serial Napper, we’re revisiting one of the most disturbing cases I’ve ever covered, the story of Christa Pike, the youngest woman ever sentenced to death in the United States. When I first released this episode a few years back, Christa was still sitting on death row with no date in sight. But now… that’s changed. In September 2025, the Tennessee Supreme Court officially scheduled her execution for September 30, 2026, marking what could be the first execution of a woman in the state in over 200 years. In this re-recorded episode, I take you deeper into the life, crime, and legacy of Christa Pike, from her horrific childhood and obsession-fueled murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, to the decades of legal battles that followed.

In April 1987, 52-year-old Ruthie Mae McCoy called 911 from her Chicago apartment, panicked and out of breath. She told the dispatcher that someone was trying to break in...through her bathroom mirror. Police didn’t believe her. Two days later, she was found dead. This episode unpacks the real-life horror that inspired the Candyman legend, a murder born not of superstition, but of neglect, poverty, and systemic failure. Ruthie’s killers crawled through the hollow wall behind her medicine cabinet, shot her four times, and disappeared back into the building’s decaying infrastructure. The same walls that were supposed to protect her instead became a tunnel for her killers. We’ll explore Ruthie’s life before the headlines: her struggles with mental illness, her attempts to rebuild her life, and the cruel irony that she was finally on the verge of escaping public housing when her own apartment became a death trap. We’ll also go inside the Grace Abbott Homes, one of Chicago’s most dangerous housing projects, where gangs ruled, drugs flowed faster than repairs, and dozens of units sat vacant, turning the building into a concrete maze of fear.

If you think your grandma’s weird, wait until you meet Nannie Doss. Known by a handful of delightfully horrifying nicknames...The Giggling Granny, The Lonely Hearts Killer, The Jolly Black Widow, Lady Blue Beard...Nannie Doss looked like the kind of grandmother who’d bake you cookies and tell you to eat seconds. Instead, she was slipping arsenic into sweet potato pie and serving it with a smile. Between 1920 and 1954, Nannie poisoned, smothered, and schemed her way through eleven victims, including four husbands, her own sister and grandson, all in the name of love. She spent her life searching for romance and the “perfect man,” leaving a trail of bodies and broken hearts in her wake. In this episode, we’re diving deep into her dark fairytale: a childhood of abuse and isolation, a head injury that might’ve rewired her empathy, and a deadly addiction to love stories that promised happy endings. We’ll look at how the 1950s ideal of the sweet homemaker gave her the perfect cover, and how a society blinded by gender stereotypes allowed one smiling widow to keep killing for decades. It’s a story about love, lies, and lethal pie. This episode is a refreshing/re-recording of one of the first stories I ever covered on Serial Napper.

In 1930s Buffalo, New York, a grieving widow sat hunched over a Ouija board, desperate to hear from her dead husband. The planchette moved, spelling out a chilling message: “They killed me.” The spirit named a culprit, Clotilde Marchand, a petite Frenchwoman, mother of four, and the wife of a well-known sculptor. Days later, Clotilde opened her front door to an accusation of witchcraft…and never lived to close it again. Dubbed the “Ouija Board Murder,” this case shocked Buffalo’s art world, fueled public hysteria about séances and spirit boards, and left behind a trail of questions that linger to this day. Was Nancy Bowen a vulnerable woman manipulated into killing? Was Lila Jimerson a believer or a schemer? And who really wrote the mysterious letters that pointed to Clotilde as a witch? This is the story of obsession, betrayal, and the deadly power of belief in the beyond.

In tonight’s episode of Serial Napper, we’re diving into the twisted case of Chelsea Perkins—better known online as OnlyFans model Sabrina Savage. Chelsea claimed she was tired of being a victim, and in 2021, she tracked down the man she said raped her, 31-year-old musician and father of two, Matthew Dunmire. She lured him out under the guise of reconnecting, drove him into Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and shot him in the back of the head. But Chelsea wasn’t the only one fueled by revenge. As investigators built their airtight case against her, Matthew’s grieving parents launched a deadly plan of their own, one that ended in even more tragedy. This is a story about obsession, about the fallout when justice feels out of reach, and about how revenge rarely ends where you think it will.

On the surface, Charlie Brandt looked like a quiet, ordinary man who loved fishing, drinking, and his wife, Teri. But in 2004, when he murdered Teri and brutally killed his niece Michelle Jones before hanging himself, investigators uncovered a nightmare decades in the making. This episode dives into Charlie’s violent past, beginning at age 13 when he killed his mother—the secrets his family buried, and the trail of victims he likely left behind. From the confirmed murder of Sherry Perisho to cold cases eerily matching his signature brutality, we’ll piece together how one man hid his darkness in plain sight. What makes a serial killer? Was Charlie a product of trauma, a family that refused to face the truth, or something much darker? And how many victims will never be known?

In 1995, 17-year-old Nathan Brooks promised his classmates he’d be “famous by Saturday.” What no one realized was just how horrifyingly true that would become. On September 30th, in Bellaire, Ohio, Nathan murdered his parents in what he believed was a satanic ritual — shooting and decapitating his father, stabbing and bludgeoning his mother, and leaving behind a chilling hit list of names that included his own brother. The brutality of the crime shook the entire town, cancelling Halloween and sparking decades of fear and questions about how no one stopped him sooner.

Hope “Onyx” Cornish was just 18 years old when her life was stolen inside her Caldwell, Idaho home. Bold, stylish, and unapologetically herself, Onyx was queer, trans, and known for her kindness, empathy, and fierce individuality. She was thriving—sober for over a year, in a new relationship, working shifts at Wendy’s—when her adoptive father, Delbert Cornish, carried out a plan he admitted he had been thinking about for more than a year. On August 18, 2025, Delbert shot his daughter in the head, then draped her body in a Pride flag in what he later claimed was a twisted gesture of “honor.” He wrote suicide notes on the walls, killed her cat, and confessed that he had wanted to kill all of his children before taking his own life. Onyx’s younger brother fought back, disarming him and escaping, saving his own life in the process. Now, Delbert faces charges of first-degree murder, aggravated assault, and animal cruelty. Prosecutors say their case is built on overwhelming evidence, including Delbert’s own confessions and notes. A trial date is set for January 2026. Meanwhile, Onyx’s family, friends, and community continue to mourn and demand justice—not just in the courtroom, but in how she is remembered: as an outspoken, radiant teen who lived authentically in a world that too often wanted her quiet.

When 16-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick picked up the phone to call 911, she said she had just found her mother and stepfather brutally murdered in their Carroll County, Georgia home. Her 5-year-old sister made the gruesome discovery first, walking into their bedroom to see the unimaginable. But months later, investigators say Sarah wasn’t just a witness—she was the killer. Charged with two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault, Sarah now faces the rest of her life in prison. In this episode, we’ll walk through the disturbing case that has left a small southern community in shock: the custody battles, the chaotic family history, Sarah’s haunting eulogy at the funeral, and her bizarre social media activity where she allegedly reached out to true crime bloggers before her arrest. Was Sarah a cold-blooded teen murderer, or is there more to this story than meets the eye?

In July 2005, 19-year-old Army Private First Class LaVena Johnson was found dead on a U.S. base in Balad, Iraq. The Army ruled it a suicide. Her family has spent nearly two decades saying otherwise. From the very beginning, the official story didn’t add up. The gunshot wound was inconsistent with her M16 rifle. Her body showed burns, bruises, and evidence of sexual assault. Acid had been poured on her, gloves glued to her hands, and her body was discovered inside a burning contractor’s tent — details that somehow never made it into the Army’s report. The Johnson family has fought relentlessly for answers, uncovering documents, autopsy reports, and crime scene photos that point to murder and a cover-up. But nearly twenty years later, the case remains closed, stamped as “suicide.” This episode looks at who LaVena was, what really happened to her in Iraq, and why her family refuses to let the truth be buried.

On March 4, 2001, 11-year-old Bethany Markowski vanished during what was supposed to be a routine weekend visit with her father, Larry. He says she went into the Old Hickory Mall in Jackson, Tennessee, while he napped in the van. But there’s one big problem—security footage shows no sign she was ever there. In this episode, we’ll dig into Bethany’s life before she disappeared, the volatile custody battle between her parents, and the messy, conflicting timeline that day. We’ll talk about phone pings that don’t match Larry’s story, witnesses who contradict his version of events, and the eerie gaps in time where no one—not even her own family—knows where Bethany was. We’ll also explore the strange reported sightings over the years, including a chilling 2016 case where a girl in East Tennessee claimed she was Bethany…and knew details only Bethany could have known. Twenty-plus years later, her mother, Jonnie, is still fighting to find her daughter, still pushing for answers, and still calling out the system that failed to protect Bethany in the first place. If you have any information about the disappearance of Bethany Markowski, please contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.

In August 2004, 12-year-old Boy Scout Garrett Bardsley vanished in Utah’s High Uintas Wilderness — just 150 feet from his campsite. He had been fishing with his father at Cuberant Lake when he stepped into cold water, soaking his shoes and socks. Garrett told his dad he was heading back to camp to change… but he never arrived. What followed was one of the largest search efforts in the state’s history — hundreds of searchers, helicopters, dogs, and thermal imaging — but no sign of Garrett was ever found. Not his fishing pole. Not his clothes. Only a single sock, later disputed as even being his. In this episode of Serial Napper, we explore the mysterious disappearance of Garrett Bardsley, the theories of what could have happened in the rugged Uintas terrain, and the heartbreaking legacy left behind — including the creation of the Garrett Bardsley Foundation, which continues to help in search and rescue operations today. Could Garrett have gotten lost? Was there an animal encounter? Or did something more sinister happen in those mountains? 🕵️‍♀️ If you have any information on this case, contact the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.

In December 1987, 12-year-old Trina Campbell stepped off her school bus in Brampton, Ontario—and vanished. She had survived a traumatic childhood, bounced through the foster system, and was just beginning to settle into a new group home. But the system that was supposed to protect her failed. Again. Months later, her butchered remains were found in a wooded area north of the city—dumped like garbage by a man who should have never been free. Douglas Worth was a known violent offender with a decades-long criminal record, including the rape of another young Indigenous girl. He was released from prison just six months before Trina’s murder, despite multiple warnings that he was a high-risk predator. And now, in July 2025, he’s been released on parole again—this time into a quiet community in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. This episode is about more than a murder. It’s about systemic failure, generational trauma, and a justice system that continues to roll the dice with women’s and children’s lives. 🔍 In this episode, we cover: Trina’s heartbreaking upbringing and disappearance Douglas Worth’s disturbing history and escalating violence The chilling discovery of Trina’s remains A trial that brought no closure—only outrage His recent 2025 parole and the terrifying reality of his release This case will leave you angry, shaken, and wondering how many more Trinas will be failed before something changes. 🖤 If you or someone you know is in danger or experiencing abuse, please reach out to a local support service or crisis line.

In this deeply disturbing episode, we’re digging into the twisted double life of David Fuller—a seemingly friendly hospital maintenance worker who was hiding some of the darkest secrets imaginable. In 1987, the murders of Wendy Knell and Caroline Pierce rocked the quiet town of Tunbridge Wells. For decades, the case went cold—until a DNA breakthrough in 2020 pointed to one man. But what police found after his arrest would shock the nation. Fuller didn’t just kill. He used his job at two NHS hospitals to secretly access the morgue and sexually abuse the bodies of over 100 women and girls, ranging in age from 9 to 100. He kept detailed records. He filmed himself. And he went unnoticed for over 30 years. In this episode, we’ll cover: 🔹 The unsolved Bedsit Murders 🔹 The DNA match that cracked the case 🔹 The horrifying mortuary abuse 🔹 His rare whole-life sentence 🔹 The NHS inquiry—and whether this could happen again ⚠️ Warning: This episode contains graphic content, including discussions of sexual violence and necrophilia.

In 1999, 15-year-old Rachel Barber walked out of her ballet class and vanished. What followed was every parent's worst nightmare—and a chilling tale of obsession, identity theft, and murder. This week on Serial Napper, I’m diving deep into the haunting case of Rachel Barber, a gifted young dancer whose life was stolen by someone she thought she could trust: her former babysitter, Caroline Reed Robertson. Rachel was vibrant, talented, and full of promise. Caroline was quiet, isolated, and desperate to be someone else—someone like Rachel. What unfolded was a dark and deeply disturbing story of jealousy turned deadly. From Caroline’s twisted diary entries to her shocking murder plan that involved assuming Rachel’s identity, we break down every step leading up to that tragic day, the police investigation, and the chilling court revelations.

Grace Millane was just 22 years old when she set out on the adventure of a lifetime — a solo trip around the world. Smart, independent, and full of life, she was exploring New Zealand when she matched with a man on Tinder. What happened next shocked the world. In this episode of Serial Napper, I dive into the heartbreaking case of Grace Millane — a young British traveller whose life was tragically cut short in what was supposed to be one of the safest countries in the world. I follow Grace’s journey, her final hours, and the disturbing cover-up attempts by her killer, Jesse Kempson. This case isn’t just about one woman’s tragic end — it’s a gut-wrenching look at how quickly trust can be weaponized and how society continues to question victims rather than the people who harm them. 🔗 TW: This episode contains details of sexual assault, violence, and murder.

When interior designer Jade Janks discovered hundreds of explicit photos of herself hidden on her stepfather’s computer — some dating back to when she was just 16 — her world shattered. Days later, Tom Merriman, co-founder of a beloved butterfly sanctuary in Encinitas, California, was dead. What happened in the hours between that horrific discovery and Tom’s final breath? Was it premeditated murder... or a panicked act of vigilante justice? In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most disturbing and controversial cases in recent memory. From shocking screenshots and deleted hard drives to text messages like, “I just dosed the hell out of him,” this case is layered in betrayal, trauma, and moral gray areas that’ll leave you questioning everything. Was Jade seeking justice, or hiding a crime? Hit play — and then you be the judge.

On the morning of November 13, 2016, fertility doctor Dr. Eric Scott Sills called 911 from his San Clemente home, claiming he had found his wife, Susann Sills, unresponsive at the bottom of the stairs. He said she’d fallen. But the scene told a far more chilling story. In this episode of Serial Napper, I dig into the suspicious death of 45-year-old Susann Sills—an ambitious, witty, and driven woman who helped build a successful fertility clinic alongside her husband. While her death was initially believed to be an accident, forensic evidence, troubling text messages, and a twisted courtroom theory involving the family dogs told a very different tale. Nearly two and a half years after Susann’s death, Dr. Sills was arrested and charged with her murder. This case would unfold over years, full of bizarre claims, devastating testimony from their children, and one of the most unusual defences we’ve ever heard in a true crime trial.

On New Year’s Eve 2012, beloved kindergarten teacher Noelle Paquette disappeared after leaving a party alone. Less than two days later, her body was discovered in a wooded area outside Sarnia, Ontario, brutally taken by two strangers with a twisted fantasy that turned into a nightmare. In this episode of Serial Napper, I unravel the disturbing and heartbreaking case of Noelle Paquette: a woman remembered for her kindness, selflessness, and radiant spirit. You’ll hear how a nurse and a 19-year-old man connected through a BDSM fetish website and plotted an unthinkable crime. I take you through the investigation, shocking confessions, and the emotional courtroom impact statements that left a community shaken. But this isn’t just a story of tragedy. It’s also a story of legacy. Noelle’s memory lives on through Noelle’s Gift Foundation, which has raised over $150,000 to support children and families in need, just as Noelle did during her life.

When 38-year-old Kacee Lyn Terry was found unresponsive in her Utah bedroom in August 2024, everyone believed her years-long battle with cancer had finally come to an end. But what unfolded next would shock her family, friends, and the entire community. In this episode of Serial Napper, we’re diving into the twisted case of Kacee Terry and Meggan Randall Sundwall — a licensed nurse and former friend who now stands accused of aggravated murder. Investigators say Meggan not only convinced Kacee that she was terminally ill, but also orchestrated a slow, calculated plan to end her life — with a $1.5 million life insurance payout at the center of it all. We’ll unpack the chilling evidence, including more than 28,000 text messages exchanged between the two women, deleted phone data, and the use of insulin on a woman who was not diabetic. We’ll also break down the legal implications around assisted suicide and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) laws in both Utah and Canada, and what obligations nurses have when it comes to end-of-life care. Was this a mercy killing, a manipulative con, or something even darker? Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics including medical deception, suicide, and end-of-life care.

Let’s go down the rabbit hole of another baffling and heartbreaking case — one that had an entire country glued to their phones, refreshing for updates, and questioning what they thought they knew about missing persons. This time, we’re heading to the quiet, idyllic village of St Michael’s on Wyre in Lancashire, a place that sounds like it belongs in a cozy countryside novel, not the center of a global media firestorm. But that’s exactly what happened when Nicola Bulley, a 45-year-old mom of two and mortgage adviser, vanished without a trace while walking her dog on the morning of January 27, 2023. Her phone was still connected to a Teams work call. Her dog was found loose but unharmed. And Nicola? Completely gone. While police leaned toward the theory that she’d fallen into the river, others weren’t so sure. Abduction theories exploded, internet sleuths packed their ring lights and headed to Lancashire, and suddenly Nicola’s deeply personal information was being broadcast for the world to scrutinize — all while her devastated family tried to make sense of their new reality.

Tonight’s case is one that rattled a small seaside town in Ireland — and left the entire country asking: how can someone vanish without a trace… in their own home? The last time anyone outside of her household saw Tina Satchwell alive was on March 19, 2017. She and her husband, Richard, were browsing through bargains at a local car boot sale. By all accounts, it was just a regular Sunday. No drama. No suspicious behaviour. Nothing that would suggest that just one day later, Tina would be gone. According to Richard, Tina asked him to make a trip to Aldi the following morning, March 20. He left their home in Youghal around 10 a.m., grabbed a few things from the store, and got back at 2 p.m. But when he walked through the door, Tina wasn’t there. Her keys were on the floor. Her phone was on the table. Her beloved dogs were still inside the house, alone. But she… was gone. It wasn’t until four days later that Richard contacted Tina’s family — and then the Gardaí — to report her missing. He claimed she’d taken off with two suitcases, a stash of cash totalling around €26,000, and seemingly no plan to come back. That’s when the mystery deepened. Despite extensive investigations, forensic searches, and even international tips, every lead led to a dead end. Tina Satchwell had vanished — and no one could figure out how or why. But just when everyone began to believe this case might remain unsolved forever… a shocking discovery turned everything upside down.

Picture this: a young girl, clearly distressed, was found loitering near the General Post Office on bustling O’Connell Street. She’s alone, silent, and seemingly terrified. When two police officers in Ireland approach her, she doesn’t — or won’t — speak English. But she somehow manages to get one thing across: she’s 14 years old. The only other clues? Some haunting doodles of an airplane, a bed, and a gun. Not exactly the kind of thing you’d find in your average teen’s sketchbook. Authorities begin to suspect she might be a victim of sex trafficking. It’s not long before Interpol and the Missing Persons Bureau get involved, and the media latches on. Headlines scream: Who is GPO Girl? With no solid leads and a growing public obsession, the police make a bold move — they go public. Her photo, snapped on the sly, is released… and when the sun rises on the southern hemisphere, the real story finally comes to light. Because GPO Girl? Yeah, she wasn’t a teenager. She wasn’t trafficked. And she definitely wasn’t who she claimed to be. She was Samantha Azzopardi — a 25-year-old Australian woman with a suitcase full of lies and a long history of reinvention. Her stint in Dublin was just one chapter in a globe-trotting tale of deceit, delusion, and downright bizarre behaviour.

What happens when obsession crosses the line into destruction? When fantasy becomes more important than family? And when one man’s delusion spirals so far out of control… it ends in bloodshed? Night after night, Grant Amato sat in the dim glow of his family’s computer screen, utterly captivated by a woman thousands of miles away — a Bulgarian webcam model named Silvie. She danced. She posed. She told him everything he wanted to hear… for a price. And Grant? He paid it. Thousands of dollars. Hours of his time. His job. His dignity. And eventually… much, much more. When the money ran out, he stole from the people who loved him the most — his own family. Hoping to keep the fantasy alive, he lied. Again. And again. Until his family had had enough. They begged him to get help. They gave him a choice: leave Silvie… or leave their home. Grant chose neither. Instead, prosecutors say, he chose murder. On a quiet night in January 2019, in the suburb of Chuluota, Florida, Grant Amato’s mother, father, and brother were found brutally gunned down in their home. But that’s not where this story ends. Because here we are — in 2025 — and somehow, somehow, Grant Amato’s name is back in the headlines… this time, tied to a murder-for-hire plot targeting Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin.

It all began on Friday morning, May 2nd, 2025. Lilly, who’s just six years old, and her little brother Jack, only four, were last seen around 10 a.m. near their home on Gairloch Road in Lansdowne Station, Pictou County. Their mother, Malehya, and stepfather, Daniel, were asleep with their baby in another room. Meanwhile, Lilly and Jack were supposed to quietly play by themselves. Daniel, the stepdad, said that he had last heard the kids playing around 10 a.m. He even told them to keep it down so the baby—and the parents—could get some sleep. At some point, though, the house fell silent. You know that uneasy feeling when kids suddenly get too quiet? That’s what triggered Daniel to check on them. When he did, they were gone. They weren’t in the room, not in the backyard—just gone. The family believes Lilly and Jack must have slipped out through the sliding door and somehow made their way beyond the fenced yard. Considering how heavily wooded the area is, authorities suspect the siblings wandered into the forest. But despite a massive search effort—150 people, dogs, drones, thermal imaging, and the Nova Scotia Guard—there’s still no sign of them. But as more time passes, questions are starting to arise. Some people are finding the circumstances around the children’s disappearance suspicious. How could two young kids slip out unnoticed in the middle of the morning? Why were the parents asleep while the kids were left unsupervised? And how likely is it that two little ones could make it so far into the dense forest without leaving any trace? This is a developing story, and the details seem to be changing by the day. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Lilly and Jack is asked to contact Pictou County District RCMP at 902-485-4333. To remain anonymous, contact Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers, toll-free, at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submit a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca Sources: https://crimetimelines.com/missing-siblings-lily-jack-sullivan-nova-scotia-2025/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/missing-children-pictou-county-lily-jack-sullivan-1.7527613 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/pictou-county-missing-children-lily-jack-sullivan-may-7-1.7528438 https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6753206 https://globalnews.ca/news/11175272/missing-children-ns-day-10/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-nova-scotia-missing-children-pictou-updates-timeline/ Follow me here: ► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/ ► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/ ► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/ ► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik *Go Ad-Free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SerialNapper * I will be in London at CrimeCon UK and I would love to meet you!

Tonight, we’re talking about a crime that rocked the small village of Romeoville, Illinois. It was a quiet Sunday evening in September 2023 when police pulled up to a quaint blue home on Concord Avenue. The neighbourhood was calm and peaceful, but what they found inside was anything but. As officers moved through the dark, quiet house, their flashlights revealed overturned furniture, deceased pets, and something way worse: an entire family had been brutally murdered. Zoraida Bartolomei, her husband Alberto Rolon, and their two young sons, Adriel and Diego, were all found dead in their own home — executed in cold blood. At first, the police thought it was a targeted home invasion. It certainly appeared so at first glance; their belongings looked like they had been rummaged through, and there was spray paint on the walls. But as they dug deeper, they uncovered a twisted story that no one saw coming — one filled with manipulation, cartel ties, jealousy, and one of the most bizarre catfishing schemes you could imagine. It’s a case that shocked not just the tight-knit community but the entire country. We’re talking infidelity, paranoia, and way more death than any small town should ever see.

On the night of May 12, 2003, 16-year-old Martha Puebla sat outside her home in Sun Valley, California, sharing a quiet moment with a friend. Within minutes, her life was stolen by a gunman who asked for her by name before firing multiple shots and disappearing into the night. What seemed like a cold, calculated execution quickly unravelled into a web of investigative missteps, courtroom drama, and one extraordinary twist of fate. Join me as we explore the murder of Martha Puebla — a tragic case that led detectives down a winding path of gang retaliation, eyewitness errors, and a young man falsely accused. Juan Catalan was arrested for Martha’s murder, based on shaky testimony and a grainy photo lineup. But just as his case seemed destined for a grim ending, an unlikely piece of evidence surfaced — hidden in the background of a popular TV show being filmed the night of the murder. This is a story of justice nearly derailed — and the miracle that saved an innocent man from death row.

The date was September 11th, 2000, in Clearwater, Florida. Eight-year-old Zachary Bernhardt was asleep in his bedroom when his mother, Leah Hackett, stepped out of their apartment on Drew Street. It was the middle of the night, but Leah said insomnia had gotten the best of her. She went for a walk, maybe a swim in the apartment complex’s pool, hoping the movement and cool water would help her settle her racing thoughts. She claimed she was only gone 15 minutes. But when she returned just after 4 a.m., her son was gone. No signs of a struggle. No broken windows. Just an empty bed where Zachary should have been. Clearwater Police launched an immediate and extensive search of the area. Officers scoured the apartment complex, the surrounding woods, and nearby retention ponds. K-9 units, helicopters, volunteers—every available resource was deployed. But they found nothing. No witnesses. No clues. No trace of Zachary. As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into years, suspicion quietly began to turn inward. Some investigators believe Leah Hackett knows more than she’s ever disclosed. She's always denied involvement—claimed she’s innocent, and that she, too, wants answers. Since then, she’s moved out of state, avoiding much of the public spotlight. Zachary’s father? He was never involved in his life—and has never been considered a suspect. So what really happened that night? Did someone sneak into the apartment while Leah was out? Or is there something in her story that doesn’t quite add up? Over two decades later, there are still no answers. No leads. No closure. Just a little boy who vanished without a trace.

She was just 14. A soft-spoken girl who loved her cat, sketched her dreams in notebooks, took guitar lessons, and had just begun to explore who she was—experimenting with makeup, thinking about high school, maybe even college. Her name was Emily Pike. She was a daughter. A sister. A beloved member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe. And on a quiet night in January 2025, she disappeared. Emily had been placed in a group home in Mesa, Arizona—a place that was supposed to keep her safe after surviving unthinkable trauma. Instead of healing, Emily finds isolation. She cried to go home. She ran. She broke. And then, she vanished. Two weeks later, her body was found—stuffed in trash bags, dumped off the side of U.S. Highway 60 near Globe. Like she was nothing. Like her life never mattered. But it did. And it still does. What happened to Emily Pike is more than a tragedy—it’s a warning. A flashing red light on a system riddled with neglect. A system where vulnerable Indigenous youth too often vanish into silence. Three potential suspects. No arrests. And a family, a tribe, and a nation demanding to know: Who failed Emily? And who killed her? This episode isn’t just about a murder. It’s about how the system, designed to protect our most vulnerable, didn’t just let Emily fall through the cracks—it threw her to the wolves.

Just months after arriving in the U.K., Ashley Wadsworth was dead. Her family and friends, who had followed her journey from afar, would soon learn of a chilling truth about the man she had chosen to trust. What led to Ashley’s tragic death? Why did no one stop Jack Sepple before it was too late? This is the story of Ashley Wadsworth—a young woman full of promise whose tragic fate was sealed by an online relationship gone horribly wrong.

The date is June 30, 1999. A body is discovered in a cornfield, about 20 miles outside of St. Louis, Missouri. The man, 41-year-old Ricky McCormick, is found dressed in nothing but dirty blue jeans and a stained white T-shirt. His body is badly decomposed, so much so that his cause of death is impossible to determine. At first glance, it seems like another tragic and forgotten death — a man with few means and, likely, mental health struggles. But then, investigators find something that would turn this case on its head. Two pages of handwritten notes. These aren’t ordinary scribbles, though. The notes are written in an intricate, unbreakable code, something that has baffled both elite codebreakers and amateur sleuths for years. Over 30 lines of cryptic letters, numbers, and symbols, carefully arranged in a pattern that no one can decipher. It’s believed that the victim, Ricky, had written these notes shortly before his death, but what did they mean?

In the scorching summer of 1989, a mother’s worst nightmare began. Patricia Stallings, just 24 years old, rushed her critically ill baby, Ryan, to the hospital. What followed would send her into a heart-wrenching battle for her life and freedom. For months, little Ryan had been suffering from severe gastric distress. But on one fateful day, his condition took a terrifying turn. Hospitalized and hooked up to a respirator, Ryan’s prognosis was unclear. However, after days of uncertainty, the doctors finally offered Patricia and her husband, David, a sliver of hope: Ryan would recover. But the relief was short-lived. The diagnosis that followed would devastate them—Ryan had been poisoned. Doctors discovered ethylene glycol in his blood, the main ingredient in antifreeze. This toxic substance was deadly in large amounts, but the mystery remained: How had Ryan ingested them? While these chemicals were present in their home, Patricia and David couldn’t fathom how their infant could have gotten his hands on them. The chilling diagnosis set off a series of events that would unravel Patricia’s life. Days after Ryan was released from the hospital, he was removed from his parents' care and placed into foster care. Tragically, only weeks later, he would return to the hospital—and this time, there was no saving him. As the investigation unfolded, Patricia became the prime suspect. Accused of poisoning her own child, she maintained her innocence. But the nightmare deepened when, while awaiting trial, Patricia gave birth to another child who showed the same concerning symptoms as Ryan. Was history repeating itself? Was Patricia Stallings truly capable of infanticide, or was there something far more sinister at play? Tune in to hear this gripping true story's shocking twists and turns—one that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about justice and motherhood.

Reeves, a retired police captain and SWAT commander, collided in a shocking, life-altering way.

Join me as I unravel the chilling details of this tragic event in a Wesley Chapel movie theater, where a retired police captain’s extreme reaction to popcorn led to an irreversible tragedy.

On July 28, 1986, 25-year-old Suzy Lamplugh, a driven and confident real estate agent from London, England, went missing under bizarre and unsettling circumstances. Suzy, who had a promising career ahead of her, left her office that morning with a scheduled appointment to show a house to a client at 37 Shorrolds Road in Fulham. Her appointment was with a mysterious man known only as "Mr. Kipper." Little was known about this client, and despite the lack of information, nothing about the meeting seemed unusual to Suzy. It was supposed to be another regular day in her busy career. However, it turned out to be anything but ordinary. Later that day, Suzy’s car—a white Ford Fiesta—was found abandoned near the Fulham Football Club. The car doors were unlocked, her purse was still inside, but the keys were missing. Despite extensive police investigations and numerous searches, no trace of Suzy Lamplugh was ever found, and she has remained missing to this day. Over the years, countless theories about her disappearance have emerged. Some speculate that Suzy was abducted and possibly taken abroad, while others focus on the mystery surrounding her appointment with "Mr. Kipper." Could "Mr. Kipper" have been a pseudonym? Some believe that the name itself may hold cryptic clues, even hinting at a sinister connection when viewed as an anagram. To this day, the identity of Mr. Kipper remains unknown, and many individuals have been investigated in connection to Suzy’s case. However, no one has been definitively linked to her disappearance. In this episode, I dive deep into the mystery surrounding Suzy Lamplugh’s disappearance, examining the theories, potential suspects, and the chilling possibility that this case may never be solved.

On February 14, 2013, a day meant for love and romance turned into a tragic and mysterious event that would shake the world. Oscar Pistorius, the renowned South African Paralympian athlete known as the "Blade Runner," fired four shots through a locked bathroom door, killing his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. A model and law graduate with a promising future, Reeva's life was cut short in a violent moment that left everyone stunned. Pistorius claimed he believed an intruder had entered his home, a fear fueled by previous break-ins and death threats. He kept a 9mm pistol under his bed for protection. However, it wasn't until he broke down the door with a cricket bat that he realized he had shot Reeva, the woman he loved. The police had a different theory: that the shooting was not self-defense but a tragic outcome of a domestic dispute. Neighbors reported hearing loud arguments from Pistorius' house before the fatal shots. The question remains: Was it a moment of rage or confusion that led Oscar to pull the trigger? Join me as I delve into the twists and turns of this high-profile case, from the initial trial to the final verdict, and explore the complexities of justice and truth in the face of tragedy.

On February 9, 2023, Crystal McCrory Jones, a 43-year-old woman, failed to show up for a scheduled doctor's appointment, prompting her husband to request a welfare check. What Deputy Chuck Harris found inside her home would forever change the lives of those who loved her: Crystal was dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities quickly ruled her death a suicide, but this conclusion has left her family, particularly her sister Jana, with more questions than answers. The investigation was swift, with a verdict reached in just under two hours. However, the family believes this was too hasty and that crucial evidence was overlooked. Discrepancies in reports and statements have only deepened their suspicions. Crystal's husband, a former employee of the West Carroll Parish Sheriff's Department, had inconsistencies in his alibi, and the family was denied a thorough investigation. The cremation of Crystal's body, against their wishes, further destroyed potential evidence. Join me as I delve into the disturbing details of this case, where the pursuit of truth is overshadowed by allegations of a flawed investigation and potential cover-up. Will Crystal's family finally uncover the truth behind her tragic death, or will the mystery remain forever unsolved? Tune in to explore the twists and turns of this gripping true crime story.
