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.

She appeared to be a typical grandmother. He was her husband, David Jackson—a retired Army veteran. So how did bubble and squeak end in murder?

What unfolded one quiet February evening in 2021 shocked their sleepy Somerset, England community—and soon, the entire country. A 999 call no one expected. A calm confession. And a question that lingered long after the trial ended: was she pushed too far, or had it always been the plan?

In this episode of Cup of Coffee and Crime, I take a closer look at a seemingly ordinary couple and the extraordinary crime that turned a family dinner into a headline-grabbing tragedy.

The Real-Life Dexter? Pedro Filho, Brazil’s Most Notorious Vigilante Killer, claimed to only kill the bad guys—drug dealers, rapists, abusers. By the time he was a teenager, he'd already taken his first life. By the time he was captured, that number had skyrocketed. In a world where justice sometimes feels out of reach, Pedro Rodrigues Filho—better known as Pedro Filho or “Pedrinho Matador”—took matters into his own hands.

But was he a hero shaped by an impossible childhood… or a deeply disturbed killer hiding behind a supposed code? In this episode, I'll take you into the twisted mind of one of Brazil’s most infamous figures—a man whose life story reads more like fiction than fact. What made him? What drove him? And can someone really be both victim and villain?
