(9:40) - Mica Miller follow up (16:25) - Sugar Baby Murders In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two cases of young women who were murdered by their ‘sugar daddies’. Sugar dating is a pseudo-romantic relationship between an older wealthy person and a younger, usually significantly poorer, person. Many sugar babies are college/university students who are looking for a way to pay off their debt. Mackenzie Lueck met Ayoola Ajayi online in 2019. The two planned to meet up after her flight home for her grandmother's funeral. But, Ayoola had ulterior motives and planned to murder her. When Mackenzie got to his home, he tied her up and strangled her. Ayoola then attempted to burn Mackenzie’s remains and belongings in his backyard, in full view of his AirBnB renter and neighbors. Liliya (Lily) Guyvoronsky (20) had been dating Bothell City Council member James McNeal (58) for months. James recently left his wife and three children to be with her. Lily detailed their relationship in her diary and in messages to her friends. 'He is really controlling and I can tell he thinks I'm stupid because I am young,' she wrote. In April 2024, the two got into an argument and James allegedly killed Lily. James called his attorney to the scene who called 911 to report the murder. James is currently in jail awaiting trial, scheduled for July. Read our blog for these cases We are now on Patreon!

Except, there was a lot going on leading up to her death. The FBI have now been called into investigate the circumstances surrounding Mica’s death. Mica was married to high-profile Pastor John-Paul Miller. The two were going through a tumultuous breakup. Mica found four tracking devices on her vehicle.

Ruby Franke (8:28) Doe Cases (35:17) The diaries of former mommy YouTuber Ruby Franke have been released and go into detail about how she abused her children.

Ruby has since pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse and will serve her sentence in a Utah prison. She may face decades behind bars. In this age of technology and DNA advancements, it is unbelievable that some unidentified John and Jane Doe cases have never gotten their names back. We discuss two such cases in this episode.

TIMESTAMPS: Suzanne Morphew & Crystal Rogers: (6:44) Ruby Franke: (13:45) Ruby Franke was one of the original YouTube ‘stars’. Her channel, 8 Passengers, had millions of subscribers at its peak. The channel chronicled the life of Ruby, her husband Kevin and their six children in Utah. What started as Ruby posting videos of her daily life, soon turned into something more. Ruby made videos regarding the strict treatment of her children – she would withhold food as punishment and at one point even made the children do chores to be able to use the bathroom. Authorities were called and did an investigation into the Franke family. Ruby seemed to shrug it off and the family went about their daily lives. Ruby’s marriage to Kevin had broken down. Ruby had partnered up with Jodi Hildebrandt, who called herself a counsellor. The two started new social media accounts called ‘Moms of Truth’ where they posted their extreme parenting tips and views on topics such as immigration and sexual abuse. In August 2023, a child in Utah escaped from a home and ran to a neighboring property. The child was emaciated and malnourished and had wounds embedded in his skin from being shackled. The child was Ruby Franke’s son. Ruby and Jodi were arrested and charged with six counts of aggravated child abuse, a felony. Both are being held without bail.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the separate cases of two missing people – Morgan Bauer and Yohanes Kidane.Morgan Bauer was 19 in 2016 when she left the small town in South Dakota where she had grown up, for the bright lights of Atlanta, Georgia. Morgan embarked on her adventure with only dollars to her name. The excitement quickly turned to desperation. Morgan was thrown out of the accommodation that she had arranged to stay in and she frantically tried to find employment. Morgan had only been in Georgia for a few weeks before friends and family realized that they hadn’t heard from her. As of August 2023, Morgan remains missing and the two people who were last known to have been with her have been arrested in connection with her murder.Yohanes Kidane had the world at his feet. He graduated from Cornell University earlier in 2023 and had relocated from New York to the Bay Area in California to take up a promising job with Netflix. Yohanes spoke to his brother on Sunday August 13 and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. When Yohanes’ siblings checked his location the following day, they saw that this phone was the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. When his family called the phone, it was answered by a stranger who had found Yohanes personal belongings including his laptops, ID and wallet. Yohanes is thought to have taken an Uber from his apartment in San Jose to the bridge. He remains missing. Did something sinister happen to Yohanes while in the ride share or did he travel to the Golden Gate Bridge for another reason?There have been updates in the Bryan Kohberger murder case and killer nurse Lucy Letby has been sentenced for killing multiple infants.

Rudy Farias was 17 when he vanished in Houston in 2015. He was last seen walking his two dogs – the animals returned home and he did not. Over the years, Rudy’s family gave multiple media interviews and conducted fundraising in an effort to find him. Rudy’s mother Janie even flew to California to visit a John Doe in a hospital at one point, who authorities thought may have been Rudy. When she found the male was not her son, she collapsed and had to be hospitalized herself. On June 29, 2023, a man resembling Rudy was found injured and unable to communicate on the steps of a Houston church. Somehow, Rudy’s family were notified and were on the scene before law enforcement. They made many social media posts announcing that their beloved son had been found alive after eight years! What a miracle! Except their story quickly unravelled. It turns out that Rudy actually returned two days after he went missing in 2015 and he had been home this entire time. There are now allegations of abuse and sexual assault against Rudy’s mother, Janie. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the wild case of ‘missing man’ Rudy Farias.

Leon Benson spent more than half of his life, a total of 24 years, in an Indiana state prison for a murder he didn't commit. Despite the lack of physical evidence and a questionable eyewitness identification, he was convicted. But new realities start to come to light when attorney Lara Bazelon takes up his case and is determined to secure Benson's release. Season three of Suspect, co-produced by Campside Media and Wondery, delves into the flaws in the criminal justice system that led to Benson's wrongful conviction for the 1998 shooting of Kasey Schoen in Indianapolis. The investigation aims to uncover the truth about who really committed the crime and why the eyewitness testimony that led to Benson's conviction was so shaky. Host Matthew Shaer joins co-producer and writer Bazelon to take a deep dive into the nature of memory and how it can be fallible and result in an innocent man's life being wasted, while the real perpetrator remains unpunished. As the investigation unfolds, will Bazelon and her team gather enough evidence to free Benson? And what will happen to Schoen’s real killer?
