They were young, in love, and barely a year into marriage when someone walked in and took their future.

Rick and Gail Brink were settling into the rhythms of newlywed life in rural Michigan when they were suddenly found murdered, execution-style, in their home. No signs of a break-in. No forced entry. Just silence, and two lives cut short.

The investigation stretched decades, through dead ends, re-opened files, links to two other murders, and whispers that never quite went away. And at the centre of it all? A man who’d always insisted he knew nothing… until he didn’t. The expolive secret that followed would shock a community, a courtroom and divide family members.

In this episode of Cup of Coffee and Crime, I unravel a case that starts with promise, ends in bloodshed, and took nearly 30 years to crack wide open.

Life had never come easy for 27 year old Kenny Bunn.. He didn't fit the mould in his conservative Southern town. He craved connection, a second chance at happiness, maybe even love. And that desperation? It was noticed. And it was used.

When his ex-girlfriend called one March night, Kenny answered. What he didn’t know was that the past wasn’t reaching out for closure, or reconciliation—it was setting a trap.

In this episode of Cup of Coffee and Crime, I explore the tragic murder of Kenny Bunn—a case woven with manipulation, misplaced trust, and a betrayal so calculated, it’s hard to believe it came from someone who once knew him best.

Two young women. Two disappearances. Years apart, but eerily connected.

Rori Hache was vibrant, full of life, and just 18 when she vanished in 2017 in Oshawa, Canada. Kandis Fitzpatrick disappeared nearly a decade earlier—but her name wouldn’t resurface until much later. What do these two girls have in common? And why did it take so long for one of their stories to be truly heard?

In this episode of Cup of Coffee and Crime, we explore a chilling trail of missed chances, unimaginable discoveries, and a man whose name would eventually tie both cases together. But this isn’t just about what happened to Rori and Kandis—it’s about the questions that still linger, and the silence that surrounded them for far too long.
