I watched it back in about 2014, but I can’t remember the name of the show. The show would have been recent, so maybe 2010-2014 timeframe. It was on Investigation Discovery or one of its sister channels, because I remember watching an episode about the McCarthy, Alaska murders around the same time which appeared on Alaska: Ice Cold Killers. The episode opens with a camera over two rivers converging somewhere I believe in the Midwest, maybe Michigan/Ohio/Illinois? I think the voiceover talks about how the crime happens in the town where the two rivers meet. I can’t remember the rivers, but one could have been the Mississippi. Would have happened in the 70s-90s. The only details about the crime are that it happened behind a building which may have been a church possibly after bible study on a Wednesday? Young white female victim iirc. But also maybe there were multiple people? I can’t figure out if I’m conflating that part with the yogurt shop murders. At the end of the episode the narrator states the police seem to know who did it, but the police had no proof. That man lives in a house at the top of the town, but they do not give his name.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. If I can confirm a movie about ninja kangaroos in an alternate universe found through a portal at a construction site exists, I’m hoping I can confirm this does, too. Thank you!

Think the case was solved but trying find it
It was a one where a auto mechanic was called at his shop that a woman need a mechanic because her car was broken down but its was a trap and he was murdered

I think he stalked his victims as well.

I came across a disgusting video on the internet where there was a woman missing a chunk out of the bottom half of her face and the chunk was like hanging from the spot which made her face like look extended…the caption said “axe to face” I asked if it was real and they said “yes it’s from wpd (watch people die)” 🤢 Im hoping it isn’t real and trying to see if it actually was real. Is there any case like this? Some more information is that the camera was pointing towards the woman face and she was alive… there was blood on the walls behind her and she had black hair. She looked Asian I think?

way back in the 90s the first forensic case I saw covered was the murder of butch masters. What episode of what show covered it. Butch was pushed down a flight of stairs and then buried for years by his dad. I would really like to watch that episode again.

I feel creepy even asking about this, but I distinctly REMEMBER seeing these photos and being traumatized. A series of black & white photos, all taken outdoors in secluded wooded settings, of young boys in what looked like boy scout uniforms (maybe a European version?) being hung upside down with complicated rope riggings. They were definitely taken sometime between the 1930s to 1960s, and I remember reading that the man who took them did end up killing people later on, but started off by approaching local boys and paying them to let him tie them up and take these photos. I feel like it may have been a European case as well, but i’m not sure.

I’ve tried googling and can’t find anything, but here’s what I remember: a woman and her baby/young child were murdered by the child’s father, who was known to be very abusive and an alcoholic. I’m almost positive this happened in the Soviet union and would’ve taken place in the 70s or 80s, maybe earlier. I believe there was a wikipedia article for the story.
It was absolutely brutal, blood everywhere, nightmarish stuff. I remember the story being that he came home after a night of drinking and murdered them both incredibly violently. It’s possible a third person in the apartment was also murdered by him that night, but i might be mixing that detail up with a different case.
ETA:
if not in the Soviet Union, it definitely would be somewhere in Europe (although i’m almost positive it was the USSR)

Search engines are turning up mostly recent missing teen cases. I want to say it took place in America between the 90s and 2000s. Basically a teen girl had recently gotten in trouble with her father over what she had been writing in her diary. A few days later, at school, she told her friends she HAD to go home during lunch break, to stop her father discovering something else she wanted to keep hidden. Walking out of school was the last time anyone saw her. It was one of those cases that I think I first read about on Wikipedia. It was an unsolved disappearance.

All help appreciated

Think this was in the US. Possible family murder where the father was bludgeoned and survived long enough to wake the next day and start getting ready for work before he died.

I can't recall whether I read about this in a magazine or heard about it in a podcast, but it went something like this...

Back when people in the general public were just beginning to access special interest groups via bulletin boards on the World Wide Web, a woman was contacted by someone who claimed to be a long-lost relative and the two developed a friendship over time.

Then, other relatives got involved in the discussion, all online and/or email, and the situation devolved into harassment, stalking and even physical threats by this group of relatives.

Things got so bad this woman was really traumatized. She turned to her best (platonic) friend — I'm pretty sure he was a queer guy, and they'd known each other for many years. He was supportive, and I think she even stayed with him for a while.

It took law enforcement a LONG time to figure out what was happening, given the era and the technology. But they finally figured it out, and ALL these "relatives" turned out to be ... (you guessed it!) her best friend. Literally just to mess with her, and see what he could get away with. He might have gone to prison. But prior to this, LE had not encountered this sort of thing before.

I'm usually extremely good at tracking stories down online, but I've had no luck with this one. Thanks!

I recall seeing this years ago and all I remember is she had black hair, pinned one of murders on one of her kids who she said pulled the trigger while he was sleeping.

Also, she was American.

Edit: it was Sharon Kinne

I just randomly thought about a youtube true crime reaction video i've watched a few years ago, but i can't remember the name of the victims or the murderers. Only info i recall from the case is that it happened in the US, the two killers were females, they assaulted their vicitim (a man) while or after he was showering, and they dismembered his body in a bath. The main thing i also remember is that one of the girl took a cops gun and shot herself when they both got arrested. If anyone knows which case i'm talking about please let me know.

i cannot for the life of me find this case I’m looking for!

All I remember is there was a gay couple and one of them went missing. Turns out he was in the basement (or attic?) and had been killed.

Does anyone know anything about this? Been scouring google but can’t find it :(

So I am unsure if I am misremembering a handful of cases and they are combining in my mind. But I swear there was a case where a girl was assaulted/murdered and stuffed in a cluttered cupboard area in a basement of her (I believe) friends house. And was found a few days later. I believ it was in the 70s-90s. Not sure exactly which decade. When I try and Google about it none of the cases really fit.

A woman in her 20s(I think) she was seen at a motel and seen at an ice cream place(?) where she walked into the woods after and her boyfriend was later found out to be messaging her mom “ransom” type messages to try and get money through cashapp. This is all I can really remember, I think the woman might have a young child?

Does anyone remember a case where a woman was on her way to court for child abuse and was shot sitting in her vehicle? I don't remember if the woman killed her child or abused/tortured the child. It was on bodycam footage on youtube or on TV but I can't find it. Someone came and shot her the morning she had court. It was vigilante justice. Her 18 year old daughter was in the front seat while she was shot and said she had been getting threats for what happened to her sibling. I remember it was some of the worst child abuse i had ever seen. I have looked everywhere so if anyone knows the case i'm talking about, is appreciate it!

I read about this case online awhile ago. I believe this happened in the 90s but could've been anywhere from the 80s to early 2000s. I think this happened in Texas but I may just have Texas in my mind because the killer wore a cowboy hat. He hung around in bars. I think this was a serial killer that was sentenced to death but I'm not sure if he was actually executed.

This guy murdered two or three women with a mattock type of tool. I remember being shocked at his cruelty. He would lure these women into a room in a house and kill them with this mattock type of weapon. The killer was a white man in his 30s or 40s. I know I don't have much info to go on but thought I'd post and see if anyone knows what case this is.

I saw this case on Unsolved Mysteries a long time ago and I'm trying to remember what case it is. A man raped his sister in law. He blindfold her and put her in his car on the floor of the passenger seat. The victim recognized that it was her brother in-law. I can't remember if he murdered her or not but he was caught and went to prison. He would up escaping and went to visit his kids one time and disappeared. I believe this case happened in the 80s and I saw it on UM in the 90s.

This was covered on Sword & Scale way back in the day, I think a two part episode. The girl was pretty young, pretty sure they were both from the US, and they spoke online before meeting where the man shot her execution style. Any ideas?

I remember a story i heard about on YouTube whilst doing a deep dive into national park mysterys, but can't remember what channel and can't find the case anywhere.

From what I remember it was about a family of 3 Mother, Father and little girl who was a toddler.

They end up in the woods somehow can't remember if it was on purpose or forced.

There vehicle was found, but I can't remember if the parents ever were.

The little girl showed up at a petrol station unharmed, when asked by people where her parents were she said "the trees took them". Or something similarly creepy.

Does anyone kniw the story?

It was in a small town I believe. I think the guy was maybe a volunteer firefighter too. Anyways, when the body was found at the place he suggested the cops decided that he must be the killer. How else would he guess that is where the body was if he wasn't the one to put it there. I can't quite remember what happened after, I think he went to jail for a while until the real killer confessed. IDK. It was an old Sword and Scale episode I think. It was a lot of the interview. And poor sap you could tell was taught just to tell the truth and police are always on your side if you've done nothing wrong.

I saw it on New Detectives, the guy was a freeloader living off his secretary wife who was inexplicably in love with him despite him not giving anything in return in the relationship. One detective said his friends described him as "Wearing gaudy clothing and saying he'd do things he never did" and had multiple failed business ventures. I remember he killed his wife because he fell in love with a girl from the UK who broke up with him because he wouldn't leave his wife and the day after the murdered she had moved to the Philippines and got married

This is a shot in the dark, but I watched a video on YouTube a couple years ago about some violent murdered where someone murdered a family and their kids, and I guess one of the kids survived and was walking around the house covered in blood, left blood on the front door, then went back in to lay next to his dead mother where he died. Anyone know which case this is? Sorry it’s so vague. I think maybe EWU posted it but I couldn’t narrow it down to which it was. I remember the kid that survived the longest and then died by his mom was a boy. Any help is appreciated.

Two men get lost and maybe die, but are found near civilisation

Im struggling to recall a story I heard on a podcast (I thought it was NPAD) maybe last year. Ive googled all sorts of things and its not coming up.

It was about 2 friends that went to the near wilderness in a vehicle who were not prepared for a hike or an overnighter. I think they were just having a mini camp out or something.

They went for a walk but then couldn't find there way back to the vehicle, and over a period of a few days kept getting more and more turned around, maybe it was a desert setting, I do recall it mentioning the heat and the lack of water they brought.

When they were later found they were not that far away from the vehicle all along.

Does anyone know what case this was?
