  • 370: The Disappearance of Madalina Cojocari (Unsolved)

    370: The Disappearance of Madalina Cojocari (Unsolved)
    Apr 22 2025
    On December 15th, 2022, Diana Cojocari arrived for a scheduled meeting at her daughter’s middle school with the guidance counselor in Cornelius, North Carolina. Her 11-year-old daughter, Madalina, hadn’t been to school in more than 3 weeks. Diana had promised to bring Madalina with her to the meeting, but she came alone. It didn’t take long for school officials to realize that something was wrong. Madalina was missing, and her mother and stepfather never reported her disappearance to police until that day at the school. What followed has been an investigation littered with inconsistent timelines, conflicting statements, and strange behavior, none of which have led to Madalina’s whereabouts. Law enforcement continues to search for the now-teenager, fully believing that she could possibly still be alive. Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!

    369: Daniel Laplante [Man in the Walls?]
    Apr 15 2025
    In 1986 in a small town in Massachusetts, the Bowen family was grieving the loss of their mother and wife after a battle with cancer. The two teenage girls spent a lot of time in the home alone while their father, Frank, was at work. They began hearing noises in their home and thought that their house was haunted. It turned out that a boy the eldest daughter had dated was living in their walls and watching them. After being caught and subsequently released less than a year later, Daniel LaPlante murdered a pregnant woman and her two young children while burglarizing their home.

  • 367: April Fools Pranks Gone Wrong

    367: April Fools Pranks Gone Wrong
    Apr 1 2025
    Before we get into some foolish April Fools pranks that didn’t quite land, let’s talk about the origin of April Fools Day. The oldest historical reference for April Fools Day comes from a Flemish poem written in 1561 about a nobleman who sent his servant on “fool’s errands” on April 1st. In about the same era in France, the people were slow to adapt to the calendar change from the last week of March to January 1st to mark the new year. It was a move from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar that was decreed by the Council of Trent. Those who struggled to adjust were called “April fools,” and many began playing tricks on them. Another reference is with the Catholic Church. In medieval France and England, a carnival of sorts, called “Feast of Fools” was held on January 1st, but was banned by the 15th century. Though, it was still held for hundreds of years, despite the ban. Then by the 19th century, April Fools’ Day was a part of American culture. Mark Twain was quoted as saying, “The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.” Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!

    365: The Murder of Kitty Genovese and the Implementation of 911
    Mar 18 2025
    On March 13th, 1964, 28-year-old Kitty Genovese was heading home from work in the early morning hours. After parking her car, she was making the short walk to her apartment when she heard footsteps behind her. When she attempted to flee, the man followed her and attacked. After someone saw them and yelled out, the attacker left. However, he returned and attacked Kitty for a second time. Though there were several witnesses who heard something, only two had made a call to police. The amount of witnesses was exaggerated and the details and facts of Kitty’s murder were incorrectly reported. However, Kitty’s death has resulted in several studies, laws, and the unified 911 system. Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!
