Wednesday, January 29, 2025 • Duration 51:04

When Rob Allen tried to contact his girlfriend, 24 year old Jennifer Kesse, on the morning of Tuesday January 24, 2006, his call went straight to voicemail.

VANISHED: Denise Griffin

Wednesday, February 12, 2025 • Duration 45:08

When New York State Troopers embarked on a high speed chase on Monday June 28, 1993, they did not foresee the scene they would soon stumble upon.

Listen in as Payne and Maggie unpack the depravity of convicted serial killer Joel Rifkin, and later sit down with Laurah Norton, host of “One Strange Thing” and “The Fall Line” to discuss how forensic science may help determine if a woman named Denise Griffin may in fact be one of Rifkin’s unidentified victims.

WRONGFUL CONVICTION: Toforest Johnson

Episode 5

Wednesday, February 19, 2025 • Duration 54:05

When Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy William “Bill” Hardy, a 23 year veteran, was ruthlessly gunned down in the early morning hours of Wednesday, July 19, 1995, authorities began to look for the person responsible for killing one of their own. As tips flooded in, two men quickly emerged as lead suspects.

For nearly 30 years Toforest has been sitting on death row in Alabama, with an execution date fast approaching. Listen in as Maggie is joined by Tenderfoot TV’s Jaime Albright as they review this controversial case and the bizarre evidence that placed a potentially innocent man behind bars.

MURDERED: The Jennings 8

Episode 6

Wednesday, February 26, 2025 • Duration 52:11

When a retiree out for some morning fishing cast his line into the Grand Marais Canal on Friday, May, 20, 2005 - an irreversible sequence of events was triggered. The discovery of a body launched an inquiry into a young woman’s death. But over the next several years the investigation would be muddied by the discovery of 7 additional bodies. The residents of Jennings, Louisiana have long suspected that these 8 deaths are somehow linked, and some attribute police incompetence or outright corruption to be the through line. Listen in as Maggie is joined by Matt Frederick, host of “Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know” and the two discuss the murders of “The Jennings 8" - taking into consideration how the town itself, documented with issues of corruption, and a few key players could possibly connect these murders together.
