  • The Murder of Ashley Ouellette (Maine)

    The Murder of Ashley Ouellette (Maine)

    Ashley Erin Ouellette was just 15 years old when her body was found placed in the middle of Pine Point Road in Scarborough, Maine, just before dawn on February 10, 1999. The investigation led police to the place Ashley was last known to be alive, but it has not been able to move past that location in more than 25 years.

    Ashley Ouellette's sister, Lindsey Ouellette, and her mother, Lise Ouellette, are on Dark Downeast to share her story.

    • If you have any information relating to the 1999 murder of Ashley Ouellette, please contact the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit - South at (207) 624-7076 or use the tip form. There is a $20,000 reward for information in Ashley’s case.

  • The Murders of Carol Caswell, Lisa Snyder & Sheila Holmes (New Hampshire)

    The Murders of Carol Caswell, Lisa Snyder & Sheila Holmes (New Hampshire)
    Jan 30 2025

    Carol Caswell, Lisa Snyder, and Sheila Holmes were forever connected when their names surfaced during the interrogation of a suspect who would later be charged and convicted in one of their murders. That same individual remains the primary suspect in at least one of the two other cases, but it’s been decades since their violent, senseless deaths, and charges have yet to be filed against anyone. When will their families finally get the answers and justice they’ve been waiting for?

    • If you have any information that could help bring answers to the families of Sheila Holmes and Lisa Snyder, please report it to the New Hampshire State Police Cold Case Unit using the tip form.

  • The Murders of Mark Harnish & Theresa Marcoux (Massachusetts)

    The Murders of Mark Harnish & Theresa Marcoux (Massachusetts)
    Jan 23 2025

    It was one of the most confounding unsolved crimes that the town of West Springfield, Massachusetts, had ever seen. Two young people, shot and killed in their car without any conceivable motive. This seemingly random double murder remained unsolved for over 40 years…Until police received a new tip that finally unraveled the entire mystery and led them to the door of a suspected killer.

Great stories and storyteller

I really enjoy Kylie and the stories she tells. I love that some are unsolved and some have a resolution. It’s so nice to actually have some resolution with some of the cases she shares.
Kylie has a knack for storytelling and I’m loving this show as a whole.

great most of the time but...

Normally, I like - no, make that, love - your podcasts. I am well on my way to listening to every single episode available (not in any particular order). I've given you tons of five stars but this episode (Elizabeth Jewett murder) was a real disappointment. I actually stopped listening part way through because this episode was drowning in your obvious political leanings. I get it, you are opposed to, as you put it, the "criminalization of sex work." I happen to disagree but that is really neither here nor there. We are each entitled to our opinions. but I - along with, I wager, 99.9% of your audience- listen to be entertained not proselytized. Just a little food for thought from a diehard fan.

great true crime podcast obsession

The cases are presented with respect and very little extrernal opinion interjection. You feel connected to the cases by the narration. Well worth the listen or binge

Being from the North East this podcast is great

I was able to binge this entire season so far non stop. I found this on audible too. I found episode 1 to be a great amount of time at around 30 mins . Each episode is at that amount of time. Perfect . Please keep up the great work.
