The crime I will be telling you about today is the disappearance of a 65 year old woman- that on the surface-well in our line of work at least- seems to be a run of the mill adult disappearance but shortly into the investigation the detectives realized it was only the tip of the iceberg. Their mother’s disappearance triggered something intense among her three adult children. The disappearance unearthed a family secret long buried by the sands of time and just maybe it would reveal who had been responsible for her disappearance.

According to statistics from the FBI only 1% of murders are the result of serial killers. Yet for some reason they occupy 99% of my brain when it comes to my true crime fears. But that is because they activate an innate fear that we have. A fear that we will fall victim to the only thing that is still truly terrifying to us as adults, the sometimes sadistic nature of mankind. In 1987-1988 the state of Delaware, specifically the New Castle area, was gripped in fear. A man was abducting women from Route 40 and torturing them before brutally killing them. It would take long hours of good police work and a consultation with the Behavioral Sciences Unit of the FBI but eventually justice was won for the families of the five victims.

Since the founding of the United States there has actually been many times that have tried the fortitude and resilience of it's men’s souls, but rarely has the convergence of several of these events occurred at one time. But it did in Gaffney, South Carolina in 1968. Domestically the civil rights movement was strong in South Carolina. It had to be. The lawmakers of the time were doing everything they could to resist desegregation. Abroad, American men and boys fought a war that they would never win. In fact, 1968 would be the deadliest year of Vietnam, when just under 17,000 American lives were lost. So imagine, a war raged on, both at home and across the world for the people of South Carolina- the fear and hate and anger must have been as thick around them as the humidity in the summer. But then, in February of 1968, the people of Gaffney, South Carolina found out they had a serial killer on their hands.

In 1983 tragedy struck in East Texas. As the Friday night lights crowd cheered on their beloved hometown football teams, five employees of a local fast food restaurant were being gunned down in an isolated oil field. Their murders would shake the town of Kilgore Texas to the core. The five families of the victims, along with the Kilgore Police department, the Texas Rangers, and the FBI would search for justice for 20 years. But still, even after all that work there are more questions than answers.

In Part II of the MacNeill Family Tragedy we get further into the betrayals of Martin, the bravery of the MacNeill sisters, and the shocking trial to follow.

Behind the walls of a gated community we have another wife found dead in a bathtub with her husband desperately trying to save her life. But it was too late for beautiful 50 year old Michele MacNeill. She was pronounced dead hours later at the hospital. Although the medical examiner would deem her death one of natural causes her family would stop at nothing to prove that the her husband of 30 years had been the one to murder her. 911 call present in episode but a warning is given and amount of time needed to fast forward is provided.

During the weekend of May 14, 2005 someone was watching the Groene/McKenzie household. They stalked the family from a fair distance away as they enjoyed the late Spring weekend in Idaho. At night they peered into the family’s windows using night vision goggles so they could learn the floorplan of their home and watch the children sleep. This is the stranger that you have always been warned about.

Amityville, NY, located on the south shores of Long Island is not known for its seaside beauty and small town quaintness despite being located in the shadows of New York City. Rather, it is a town that is haunted. It is haunted by a house that sits on busy Ocean Ave located right off the Montauk Highway. It is not the ghosts that haunt Amityville, as anyone beside the residents think, it’s the memories that surround one of the most grisly crimes the island has ever seen. The true story behind the Amityville Horror House, as most of the country will come to know it as, is more horrifying than any book, movie, or bad sequel could ever be.

Sage Smith was a 19 year old transgender woman when she disappeared from the downtown area of Charlottesville, VA on November 20, 2012. In today’s case we discuss her background, the circumstances surrounding her case, and question why her story has not been as told as other missing teen’s cases. Sage, and someone else closely related to the case, are still missing. The investigation into the disappearance has turned into a homicide investigation and the police, as of 2018, consider Erik McFadden a suspect again. But as you will listen you will learn of many suspects.

In the winter of 1998 there did not seem to be a more idyllic family than the Trovers in Gillette Wyoming. But in early December of that year the perfection would come to a screeching halt when the family was brutally attacked in their own home. The Trovers had just returned from a night out at a local bar and grill and was preparing for bed when the power to their house was cut, and the nightmare began.

On December 3, 1997 the Dosso family was supposed to be celebrating the birthday of Frank Dosso's 10 year old twin daughters. Instead, the family ended up mourning his death. But the mourning did not stop there. Frank had been found in the family owned factory alongside his father's business partner and his brother-in-law. His sister was found in the entrance way. Who could have so callously destroyed an entire family?

On the night of Tuesday May 14, 1996 a call came into the Virginia Beach dispatch. A man was frantically screaming into the phone. "Please help, my wife, my god", he yelled between labored breaths. Dispatch was slowly able to get all of the information out of him. He told them where he lived, which was a condo complex near the naval base. But what the man said next shocked even the veteran dispatcher. As his wife could be heard gasping for breath beside him he said, "I killed him. I was attacked and when I came to a man was raping and stabbing my wife. So I got my gun and I killed him." patreon.com/truecrimecoupleSponsors:Daily Harvest Dailyharvest.com and use code tcc to get $40 off your first boxHarper Wilde Harperwilde.com/tcc to get 20% off your first purchaseBest FiendsDownload the 5 star-rated puzzle game, Best Fiends FREE today on the App Store or Google Play.

In September of 1998 a foul smell and blockage was reported by the citizens in Redlands, CA within a two block radius. The town’s DPW went out to clear the blockage. But instead of hair, tree roots, or disposable wipes (fun facts from John), they found a human skull. It took the police hours and the uncovering of all the manholes that were interconnected for one mile to find the entire skeleton. It was clear the person had been young. A child of 13-15 years old by the size of the bones. No one was saying it but everyone was thinking it, this seemed ripped from the pages of Stephen King’s It. And really, who would have done something like this besides a monster like that? Although it was not a fictional child murdering monster that committed the crimes we will talk about today, the theme from his story can still be applied- the idea that lurking beneath the idyllic façade of any American town something more sinister hides.Patreon.com/truecrimecouplehttps://truecrimecouples-store.creator-spring.com/Sponsors:Athena Club Razors Athenaclub.com and use code tcc to get 20% off your starter razor kitApostropheTo get started, just go to Apostrophe.com/TCC and click Begin Visit, then use our code TCC at sign up and you’ll get fifteen dollars off your dermatology visit!Patrons:Chelsie WatsonLynne McDonaldAimee BerganAndrea IlieToyahJill PerrinSarah BishopAndrea DanielsonShayStephanie LaroseChristine O’ReillyFelipa BrockmanJessica ShannonMarina LedezmaRuthann GonzalezChristina LusicicAbigail EdgertonDavid LeFeverRick JohnsonManda DudaJim BergAlyssa DoukasRosalyn CoxLydia BradfordJaclyn MojicaMarnieJason

In today’s case we examine a honeymoon a young Belgian couple took on a Mediterranean island in 1995. What is supposed to be the happiest time in their life turns to tragedy when the bride has to bring her new husband home in a coffin. The death that occurred on that trip led to an international manhunt and the uncovering of a diabolical scheme that seemed more fit for a movie than it did the real world.

The murder of Gregory Witman on October 2, 1998 was brutal. The 13 year old boy walked home from his bus stop after school and was ambushed the second he walked through the threshold of his home. He was stabbed over 64 times and practically decapitated with a pen knife. The investigation into the crime took only 12 hours. The police concluded it was Gregory’s 15 year old brother, Zach.

TW: This case includes heinous acts against children In 1991 a beautiful 9 year old girl went missing from the North Park neighborhood of San Diego, CA. This case, and it’s twists and turns, brings to light the high crime rates San Diego suffered from in the early 1990s-and a bizarre string of missing children's cases, some of which have still not been solved. But this case, the one of Amanda Gaeke, does get solved, and it is worse than you could ever imagine. https://truecrimecouples-store.creator-spring.com patreon.com/truecrimecouple Sponsors: Rothys rothys.com/tcc Magic Spoon magicspoon.com/tcc use code: TCC for $5 off Best Fiends Download Best Fiends today in the app store or on Google Play Sources: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-10-15-me-537-story.html https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/1998/jan/22/cover-amanda-gaeke-the-guy-who-killed-her-and-the/ https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/1995/mar/02/cover-something-of-an-angel-what-happened-to-aman/ https://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topics/news/how-crimes-changed-in-san-diego-12-graphics/ https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/crime/crime-fighters/san-diegos-dark-history-of-child-abductions/509-cf869c3f-44f9-4653-a373-573133baff24 https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-10-15-me-537-story.html https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-past-child-abduction-and-murder-cases-san-diego-co-2010mar06-htmlstory.html

In Today’s episode we are going to talk about a missing person’s case that led to the convergence of three governments. A lack of treatises meant a lack of communication and the escape of a possible killer. Until one year later a body is found...but it is not the body of the missing woman. This murder reinvigorates the hunt for the man who had been able to elude the Canadian police due to technicalities. But still this case will end in a mystery.

On June 18th, the night before Father’s Day in 2011, three members of the Ortiz family were brutally slain in their home. At the scene there is a lot of motive, marijuana plants and cash. However, none seemed to be the motive for the murders as it was all still at the scene when police arrived. Even more puzzling was the absence of physical evidence. Who could have killed Lloyd and Dixie and their 21 year old special needs son, Steven?Patreon.com/truecrimecoupleSponsors:Best FiendsRothys - Visit Rothys.com/tcc Third Love - Visit thirdlove.com/tcc Sources:https://apnews.com/article/821f9e26f9744ec6a211d959d87d3be1https://www.abqjournal.com/1340197/he-took-three-beautiful-lives.htmlhttps://www.abqjournal.com/1384146/convicted-triple-murderer-gets-25-years.htmlhttps://www.koat.com/article/new-mexico-family-terrified-man-convicted-of-murdering-loved-ones-with-pickaxe-may-be-released/28226536#https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/man-who-killed-northern-new-mexico-family-won-t-get-third-trial/article_04a8534d-690d-5b8d-8c58-21dd4856a5aa.htmlhttps://www.pressreader.com/usa/santa-fe-new-mexican/20191029/281517932913798https://casetext.com/case/state-v-ortiz-2049https://law.justia.com/cases/new-mexico/supreme-court/2019/s-1-sc-36788.htmlhttps://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/man-who-killed-a-family-with-a-pickaxe-sentenced-to-25-years-in-prison/

Our story today takes us to Knox County, Indiana where, in 1975, a couple was approached while together late at night on a lover’s lane, not once, but twice. The woman was kidnapped and her date was subdued. He was helpless as he watched the girl he so desperately hoped to be his girlfriend get dragged into another car. When he told his story the following day not many in Vincennes believed what he had to say. It really didn’t add up.

On the surface the island of Koh Tao was heaven on earth for travelers looking to escape the world, to party all night, and sleep all day on white sand beaches. A lawless paradise, such a far cry from the policed western world. But the underbelly of that paradise was a far cry from the excited stories the back packers had to tell. On the island there existed corruption, racism, disorder, and, starting in 2014, a string of very complicated murders that just did not seem to make sense. Their exposures would muddy the reputation of the island. In the case we have for you today there exists the death of two backpackers, other complicated deaths on the island, a police force under fire, a local mafia exposed, and families trying to seek justice in a place that was sought after for turning their cheek to it.

A rich man, who has been living a lie his whole life, finally tries to seek happiness. However, the intentions of that pursuit are not as pure as they may seem. They will lead a loss of millions of dollars, several relationships, and a brutal murder three days after Christmas in a very wealthy gated community.

It was a horrific crime scene. But there was one detail that the investigators could not take their eyes off, her neck. Two thin lines had been cut into her neck. A garrote had been used to strangle her. A woman strangled on a bike path. The investigators looked at each other, he was back.
