The Kurim Case | 101

Trigger Warning - this episodes contains child abuse
On May 7, 2007, a man in the small town of Kurim, Czech Republic had just set up a new video baby monitor, but when he turned it on, he didn't see his newborn baby. Instead, the signal had crossed with a neighbor and he saw probably one of the most horrific things you can imagine...Thank God for that faulty signal because this would finally expose the shocking crimes of the Mauerova sisters. This may be the darkest story we've ever covered but I just couldn't get over the twists & turns.

Baffling Stories | 100

F YEAH TO 100 EPISODES! We're switching it up for the special occasion! Rebecca talks about 4 separate unexplainable stories:

  1. John "Fritz" Johnson, a local legend in Omaha, NE gets confronted by stranger in Chicago and his life(s) is forever changed.
  2. David Glenn Lewis: In 1993, David's wife and daughter went on a shopping trip for the weekend and came home to an empty house. David was never seen or heard from again. Eleven years later, a man 1600 miles away comes across something that leads to more questions than answers.
  3. Tim Molnar: 19-year-old Tim Molnar drove to class in Daytona Beach, FL and never returned. His car was later found in Atlanta, GA, and 12 years later a damning discovery was made in Wisconsin.
  4. Brian Shaffer: In 2006, a med school student, walked into a bar in Columbus, OH and is never seen again...

Diane Newton King | 99

In 1990, a local news anchor named Diane Newton King got a phone call from a fan asking for advice. She was polite and talked to him, but then he kept calling...Things went downhill fast. This was the beginning of stalking laws and Diane's husband Brad was a former cop so they took this very seriously. Then on a cold, February night it all ended tragically.

Missy Avila | 98

*DISCLAIMER - Rebecca's an idiot and forgot to connect her microphone to our recording platform so she sounds more echoey than usual. You would think after 98 episodes, we would have this down but you'd be wrong.

On October 1, 1985, 17-year-old Michele "Missy" Avila went out with her friend, Laura Doyle. Hours later, the Avila's phone rings and it's Laura asking to speak to Missy. Mrs. Avila's heart sank because she assumed they were still together but Laura explained that Missy saw some guys she knew and left with them in a blue camaro. Three days later, a hiker found her deep in Angeles National Forest face down in a stream with a log across the back of her neck. The creepiest part: all of her hair was cut off. The case goes cold for 3-years until a witness comes forward with a shocking (and infuriating) tale.
