    Episode 202: The Crimes of Mr. Cruel
    Apr 7 2025
    ** We are releasing a past patreon episode in place of a new episode as promised. Pray for us as we are deep in the newborn trenches**

    The crimes of the man who was given the moniker of Mr. Cruel have been emblazoned in the minds of the residents of the greater Melbourne area for almost four decades now. We do not know if the man who inflicted so much pain into the lives of so many will ever be caught, but we do know the hunt for him will never stop.

    Episode 197: Jessica Dishon | What the River Bottom Revealed

    17 year old Jessica Dishon was abducted from the driveway of her when she was leaving for school on the morning of September 10, 1999. The investigation, or lack thereof, that would follow would call into question just how safe the people of Shepherdsville, KY were and would shatter entire families in the process. Nothing can prepare you for this case.
