Allison tells the story of how the evidence unfolded and the detail that continued to raise questions about what happened on that beach. Support us and become a Patron!

The death of LaVena Johnson | Ep 234
Skip the banter: around 00:09:14 depending on ads When Army Private LaVena Johnson was found dead in Iraq, her family was told it was a suicide. What they uncovered in the weeks and years that followed raised difficult questions about the investigation, the evidence, and whether key details were overlooked. Allison carefully lays out what was documented, what was missing, and why her parents continue to challenge the Army’s conclusion.

The disappearance of Timmothy Pitzen | Ep 233
Skip the banter: 00:10:20 When Timmothy Pitzen’s mother picked him up early from school in 2011, she said there was a family emergency, then spent several days traveling with him before being found dead in a motel room. She insisted in a note that her son was safe and would never be located, but the evidence investigators uncovered tells a more complicated story. Allison carefully traces those final movements and the details that still shape how his family understands the silence that followed. Support us and become a Patron!

The murder of James Bulger | Ep 232
Skip the banter: 00:09:08 (give or take a minute depending on ads) James Bulger disappeared from a shopping center in Bootle in February 1993, and the case unfolded through CCTV, witness statements, and a growing realization that the usual assumptions did not apply. We walk through the moments that were missed in public, the inconsistencies in what people thought they saw, and what the investigation and trial later made clear while still leaving key questions unanswered. Allison guides the story carefully, grounding it in the details that shaped how this case was understood then and how it is argued about now. Support us and become a Patron!

The murder of Riley Crossman | Ep 231

The murder of Riley Crossman | Ep 231
Skip the banter: 00:07:41 (give or take a minute depending on ads) In May 2019, 15-year-old Riley Crossman disappeared from her home in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, sometime during an ordinary school night. What followed was a series of quiet red flags, overlooked moments, and conflicting statements that only became clear after Riley failed to show up for school. This episode closely examines the timeline inside the house, the unanswered texts, and the decisions that shaped the first critical hours of the investigation. Certain details did not line up from the very beginning, but it took time for anyone to understand why. Allison carefully walks through what was known, what was missed, and the detail that still raises the hardest questions. Support us and become a Patron!
