Around the holidays there is nothing more consistent than a mother. She has to make sure the home is clean, the meals are cooked, feasts and all, the home decorated, the cookies baked. And no mother was more reliable when it came to holiday consistency as 41 year old, mother of three, Stepahnie Bruner. That was why it seemed especially odd when, just three days before Thanksgiving, she left to take a walk at 10 PM in freezing temperatures never to return again. Join me and I tell John the case o...

Halloween is a time of great excitement for children. It is electric in the air, k...

The crime I will be telling you about today is the disappearance of a 65 year old woman- that on the surface-well in our line of work at least- seems to be a run of the mill adult disappearance but shortly into the investigation the detectives realized it was only the tip of the iceberg. Their mother’s disappearance triggered something intense among her three adult children. The disappearance unearthed a family secret long buried by the sands of time and just maybe it would reveal who had been r...

According to statistics from the FBI only 1% of murders are the result of serial killers. Yet for some reason they occupy 99% of my brain when it comes to my true crime fears. But that is because they activate an innate fear that we have. A fear that we will fall victim to the only thing that is still truly terrifying to us as adults, the sometimes sadistic nature of mankind. In 1987-1988 the state of Delaware, specifically the New Castle area, was gripped in fear. A man was abducting women from...
