True Crime Creepers

Part 2 of this saga brings us further down Prosenjit Poddar's road to complete obsession with Tatiana Tarasoff. His behavior would become incredibly concerning, so much so that his best friend insisted he see a professional. But as concerning as Prosenjit's friends and psychiatrist would find his behavior, Tatiana and her family had no idea of the danger she was in.

Tatiana Tarasoff's tragic story would be remembered more for the legal decisions that arose because of her murder - namely that in many states in the United States, therapists now have a duty to warn potential victims if their clients have threatened them. But her story is incredibly complex, and in part 1 we get to know Tatiana, a college student in Berkeley, California, who would cross paths with Prosenjit Poddar, a graduate student from India who would quickly become deeply obsessed with her.

The morning after their 15th anniversary, on October 9, 2020, Jamie and Jennifer Faith did what they’d done every morning - they got up early and walked their dog, Maggie. It was around 7:30 AM when they walked out the front door - which was caught on their ring doorbell camera. But then, as soon as they reached the sidewalk, the sound of rapid fire gunshots blasted around them. Nine gunshots pierced the air. Jamie had been murdered, shot multiple times in the street in front of his own home by a man wearing a hoodie and a mask, while his wife watched. Now, investigators would have to piece together what happened to Jamie Faith, and the answer would leave the entire community reeling.

In 1971, 17 year old Juliane Koepcke took a short flight from Lima, Peru to Pucallpa to reunite with her family for Christmas. On the way, her plane, LANSA flight 508, was struck by lightning and Juliane found herself falling 10,000 feet from the sky, miraculously surviving the fall with relatively minor injuries.

In Tennessee's Center Hill Lake, the lifeless body of Lauren Agee was discovered floating in a cove. Was it a tragic accident or a sinister act? The police decided early on that Lauren's death was an accident - she'd fallen off the cliff she'd been camping on, but friends camping with her reported conflicting stories, and her injuries didn't seem to match a fall off the cliff. With increasing frustration, Lauren's family hires a lawyer and a private investigator, determined to get to the bottom of what really happened at Center Hill Lake.

It seemed like a tragic accident, the day 39 year old Scott Pattison rushed his wife, Lisa, to the hospital after finding her at home on their weight machine with the barbell crushing her throat.

We're on our break! But the new documentary from Natalia's point of view is coming out soon, so we thought this would be the perfect time to re-release these episodes, all together for you in one extra long episode, so you can catch up or refresh your memory before the new doc comes out! Part 2 begins at 1:30 if you want to skip ahead! :) Part 1: This is one of the most complex and bizarre stories we’ve covered: the story of Natalia Grace, a little girl adopted from Ukraine whose age and behavior ignited a global firestorm of controversy. When Michael and Kristine first adopted 6 year old Natalia, everything was great. Natalia was welcomed into the family, she seemed to fit right in. But after a few months, issues started to arise that caused the Barnett’s to question who Natalia really was. Was she an innocent child looking to be loved by her adopted family, or was everything about her a lie? Part 2: Michael and Kristine Barnett are convinced that their adopted daughter, Natalia, is not a 6 year old little girl from Ukraine, but a psychotic adult imposter using her dwarfism to masquerade as a child. They manage to convince a judge that this is true, and after that life will get much, much more difficult for Natalia.

When Jill Walker went to wake up her 16 year old daughter Emma for school, she found her lying in her bed, unresponsive. She tried to shake her awake, and realized Emma had no pulse. Immediately, Jill called 911, and when investigators first arrived they assumed this was a suicide. They looked around Emma's room, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. That is until they noticed a small hole in the wall, the wall that Emma’s bed was pushed up against, lined up right where her pillow was. And that hole was about the size of a bullet. That was when they realized that Emma had been shot in her sleep through the walls of her house.

It was August 5, 2009, a day like any other for Dalia Dippolito. She got up early to go to the gym and let her husband, Mike, know that she'd pick him up a Starbucks on her way home. While she was at the gym working on her fitness, she got a call from Sgt. Ranzie, a detective with the Boynton Beach Police Department, who told her there was a situation at her home and she needed to get there right away. When Dalia arrived, she saw her house surrounded by police cars and yellow crime scene tape. Sgt. Ranzie told her that her husband had been murdered inside their condo, and Dalia fell into his arms, sobbing. However, everything about this entire scene was completely fake.

Martin and Michele MacNeill's adult daughters, Rachel and Alexis, are convinced their father murdered their mother. They were able to get custody of their adopted younger siblings, except 16 year old Giselle, who was inexplicably shipped off to Ukraine, where she’d been adopted from. This was an incredibly stressful time for all of them. Rachel and Alexis were terrified of their dad. He now knew they believed he’d killed their mother, and they were so afraid he’d do the same to them that they went into hiding. But Alexis was not in hiding giving up. She was in hiding plotting.

It was April 11, 2007 when 50 year old Michele MacNeill was found unconscious in her bathtub by her husband, Martin MacNeill. Martin attempted CPR while he waited for the ambulance to arrive, but she could not be saved. Tragically, less than an hour after she arrived at the hospital, Michele was pronounced dead. Days later, the Utah State medical examiner declared that Michele’s death was due to natural causes from a heart arrhythmia. It seemed like it had just been a terrible tragedy, possibly brought on by the pain medication Michele was taking due to a recent facelift surgery. But it was not at all what it seemed, and it would take the persistent efforts of investigators, lawyers, and even the MacNeill's grown children to uncover the truth of what really happened to Michele.

On the night of January 8, 1993, two armed assailants entered a Brown's Chicken restaurant in Palatine, Illinois, just before closing time and proceeded to brutally murder seven employees, all for less than $2000. Years would go by before police would get their big break. In those interim years, the BGA would release their scathing report on the investigation, the ISCC would form their panel to refute the BGA, the victim’s families would file lawsuits against Brown’s Chicken. Everyone wanted someone to blame for this crime, but the killers remained elusive. That is, until 2002, when a phone call between old high school friends would change everything.

It was October 12, 2012 when a very odd 911 call had come in to Campbell County dispatch. 21 year Shayna Hubers sounded frantic as she told the dispatcher she had just shot and killed her boyfriend, Ryan Poston, in self defense.

When detectives in Somerset County, New Jersey receive information about suspicious deaths at a hospital, they come to the horrific realization that a nurse is intentionally killing his patients.

As patients continue to die in sudden and suspicious ways, the detectives realize they are out of time, and to solve their case they are going to need the help of a brave woman willing to risk it all to take down a serial killer.

Randi Trimble had a beautiful life. She had a career she loved, a mother she was close to, she was married to the love of her life, and planning for their future together. But then, on January 10, 2003, Randi was murdered in her own home, stabbed 27 times in her garage but an intruder. Her husband's alibi was solid, but the crime scene made absolutely no sense.

Shrien and Anni Dewani had only been married for 3 weeks when they arrived in Cape Town, South Africa for their honeymoon, and they'd only been in Cape Town for a day when tragedy struck. While out sightseeing one night, their taxi was hijacked by two men. The driver and Shrien were kicked out of the car, and later the car was found with Anni's body inside.

On July 1, 2018, eleven members of the same family were found dead in their house in the Burari neighborhood of Delhi, India, sparking widespread shock and speculation. Most of the victims' bodies were discovered hanging from colorful scarfs around their necks tied to an iron grill on the ceiling. The bodies were arranged in a circular formation, all spaced evenly apart. Investigators didn't know what to make of this scene. Was this murder? Was this a mass suicide? Both options seemed equally unlikely to all who knew and loved the Bhatia family. As investigations continued, authorities began to explore multiple angles, including possible psychological factors, family dynamics, and external influences that might have led to this tragic event. The Burari deaths serve as a reminder of the complexity of human behavior and the challenges in understanding the underlying causes of such incidents. The incident prompted discussions about mental health awareness and the need for support systems for families dealing with stress and emotional turmoil. Learn more about your ad choices.

When Michael and Kristine first adopted 6 year old Natalia, everything was great. Natalia was welcomed into the family, she seemed to fit right in. But after a few months, issues started to arise that caused the Barnett’s to question who Natalia really was.

This is one of the most baffling stories we have ever covered. Terrance Williams and Felipe Santos were two young men who vanished into thin air under eerily similar circumstances. In January of 2004, Terrance vanished after he was last seen getting into the backseat of Sheriff's Deputy Steven Calkins' car, who initially said he had no recollection of the event. Later, his memory would return and he said he'd only given Terrance a ride to work at a nearby Circle K. This story left so many questions unanswered: Terrance did not work at the Circle K, so why would he have told the deputy that? And where had he gone after the Circle K? This case would become even more baffling when it was connected to the disappearance of a man named Felipe Santos, who had gone missing a few months before Terrance after last being seen in Deputy Calkins' squad car. At that time, Calkins had said he'd only given Felipe a ride.... to a nearby Circle K.

When a police officer saw a red car stopped at a green light just after 2 AM, he figured the driver had fallen asleep and he blew his horn hoping to wake the person up and continue on his way. What he didn’t expect was for the driver, a very small, young woman, to get out of the car and start confessing to a murder. The woman was 28 year old Nikki Addimando, and she told the police officer how she had shot and killed her boyfriend of 9 years, Christopher Grover, and that his body was lying on the couch in their apartment. She told the officer she'd done it in self defense - Chris has been horrifically abusive to Nikki throughout their 9 year relationship. But there was something about her story the officer didn't like, and the prosecutor thought she could see Nikki for exactly what she really was - a master manipulator.

Picture it: you’ve just made a dream come true by moving from the midwest to the beach. What could make it better? Oh right, the perfect guy. Joe Collier was seemingly the perfect man for Candy Williams. He was good looking, charming, smart, he seemed to have his act together. What’s not to like? Candy thought her search for the one was over. He spoiled her with gifts, he was always wanting to give her whatever she needed, he was so attentive to her. But in April of 2006, she walked into her house to find what I would consider a horror scene. Every surface of the house was covered in thousands of post it notes, all of them saying something along the lines of I’m sorry, it’s too hard, I can’t do this. From here, Joe’s behavior became increasingly bizarre. Candy started to realize that he was not her perfect match. Just when she thought it couldn’t get any worse, she found out about…… the murders.

We are still on vacation this week but didn't want to leave y'all hanging, so we are releasing an episode from the vault! This was one of the first bonus episodes we ever released, and still one of Kristin's favorites :) Martin McDonagh was driving through Vidor, Texas when he saw a series of billboards with a dramatic message: Raped While Dying. Still No Arrests. From Day One Police Knew Who Did It. These billboards left a very emotional impression on him. Such an impression that, without knowing the full story behind those billboards, he wrote a screenplay inspired by what he saw called 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which he would also go on to direct. Some of the billboards in the movie came word for word from the billboards he’d seen in Vidor. And in the real case, 30 years later, there have still been no arrests in the murder of Kathy Page, even though those billboards say the case is solved and police know who the culprit is. So today I’m telling you the true story behind the movie. This is the story of 3 Billboards Outside Vidor, Texas, where the more I dug, all I found were lies upon lies, and at the center of it, heart ache. The more I read about this case, the more I realized - nothing was what it seemed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The investigation into her attack quickly hit a dead end when no one could figure out how she left the hotel in the first place. She was seen on camera going up to her room, and then never seen on camera again. The case went cold, until Inna filed a lawsuit against the hotel, and the hotel hired private investigator Ken Brennan to look into the matter.

But in 2014 it would become famous for a much different reason: fraud, when it was discovered that their accountant, Sandy Jenkins, had been embezzling from the bakery for almost a decade. Not only had he gotten away with it so long, but the amount of money he managed to steal from a bakery most well known for fruitcake would send shockwaves through the community.

It's Kristin's birthday, so what better way to spend it than finally finishing her non-consecutive series on the Women of Clear Lake who snapped? This week, we are talking about the murder of David Harris. David was a successful dentist in the Clear Lake area of Houston. His marriage with his wife, Clara, had been deteriorating after he confessed to her that he'd been having an affair with his receptionist, Gail Bridges.

What happens when a medical school needs cadavers to dissect, but they lack a supply of bodies? In the early 19th century in Edinburgh, Scotland, this was the issue plaguing doctors and anatomists who wanted to study the human body.

In 2015, Miche Solomon was just a typical 17 year old whose biggest concern was what she would wear to the upcoming end of year ball. That is until January of that year, when Miche started getting flooded by people telling her how much a new 8th grader at the school looked exactly like her. The new girl's name was Cassidy Nurse, and Miche had to see for herself. She was shocked when she met Cassidy - the resemblance was uncanny - but the girls just thought it was a funny coincidence and quickly forged a sisterly friendship. However, Cassidy was not your typical 8th grader. She had grown up in the shadow of her older sister, Zephany, who had been stolen from their mother's hospital room just days after she was born.
