The Raven Knocks

  • Summary

  • True Crime/Missing Persons/Cold Cases- I decided to begin a podcast regarding true crime because I feel like some of the victim's story never gets told due to it being to graphic or not admissible in court. I also think that Justice is lost in some of these cases and it's not right. I hope I can be a voice for the ones who lost theirs and perhaps make this world a slightly better place, and have you thinking more cautiously.

    Could a mother's disdain lead to tragedy beyond imagination? Join us as we uncover the heart-wrenching story of Quentin, a sweet 20-month-old whose life was cut short by his own mother, Leilani. With testimonies from neighbors and Quentin's babysitter, Talia, we paint a picture of a child who found love and comfort in others, especially in his mother's partner, Daniel. This episode explores the chilling circumstances surrounding Quentin's disappearance, the stark neglect he faced, and the emotional turmoil that ensued as the FBI and local authorities embarked on a desperate search for his remains.

    What happens when a night of reckless choices spirals into an unthinkable crime? The narrative continues with a gripping account of Leilani, her brother Paul, and Daniel, caught in a web of substance abuse and impulsive actions. We delve into the morning chaos when Quentin was found missing, highlighting the frantic responses and strained family dynamics. Amidst the seriousness, Paul's humorous tale of a police interview gone awry adds unexpected levity. We also challenge assumptions about Daniel, revealing a complex man devoted to the children despite his own struggles.

    Can lies unravel under the weight of truth? As the investigation deepens, we expose Leilani's web of deception through surveillance footage and phone data, questioning her truthfulness and motives. We explore her tumultuous relationship with Daniel, tainted by paranoia and unfounded accusations. The episode concludes with a forensic exploration of Quentin's tragic death, the moral dilemmas faced by a mother seemingly devoid of love for her child, and a society grappling with the responsibilities of safeguarding its most vulnerable. Join us as we seek justice for Quentin and ponder the blurred lines between love, obsession, and accountability.

    What happens when the very people meant to protect us become the source of our deepest fears? This episode peels back the layers of two chilling stories that unravel the dark underbelly of family dynamics. We begin with the haunting narrative of Stephen Pladl and Alyssa, whose volatile relationship began when she was merely 15. We explore the terrifying reality Alyssa faced as Stephen's violent behavior escalated, ultimately forcing her to make an unthinkable decision to protect their daughter, Denise, by placing her up for adoption. As Denise finds refuge in a new family, the shadow of her biological family's troubled past lingers, highlighting the ongoing struggles for Alyssa as she navigates a life marked by fear and instability.

    Our journey takes an even darker turn as we uncover the tragic and sensational story of Katie and Stephen Pladl, whose unsettling relationship ends in an unimaginable tragedy. Unbeknownst to Katie, she becomes entwined in a manipulative and abusive situation with her biological father, Stephen, leading to a sequence of horrific events, including multiple murders. These heart-wrenching stories underscore the emotional toll of domestic violence and the critical need for awareness and support. As we close, we underscore the importance of recognizing the signs of toxic relationships and provide resources for those in need, emphasizing that help is available and urging listeners to prioritize safety and well-being.
