His wife was left stranded in a city where she knew no one. Newspapers across California carried the story of the missing husband, while neighbors and the Catholic Ladies’ Aid society stepped in to help feed Mrs. Clark and their 5-year-old son. Had Frank abandoned his family? Met with foul play? Started a new life somewhere else? The answer, when it fi...
Send a message to Monica and Olivia! A woman’s body floats more than 150 miles downriver before finally being recovered near New Albany, Indiana. By the time she is identified as Hannah Goddard Knapp, her husband—Alfred Knapp—has already confessed to murdering her. But Hannah wasn't the first—Not by a long shot.

Send a message to Monica and Olivia! Bertha “Bessie” Boronda attacked her husband, Narciso "Frank" Boronda, in the middle of the night in their San Jose home in 1907. The newspapers called it a violent, deliberate mutilation. The court charged her with mayhem—a crime defined by the destruction of part of the human body. But no one ever said exactly what she did.

Send a message to Monica and Olivia! In February of 1927, a Brooklyn father watched his six-year-old son struggle to breathe as diphtheria tightened its grip. Desperate for help, Frank Caruso called for doctors, begged for treatment, and clung to the hope that his boy might survive. But when that hope slipped away, something else took its place.

Sarah warned the authorities that he was going to kill her. But Jesse didn’t kill her. Even Sarah didn’t see this coming. When he couldn’t reach the person he wanted, Jesse McClure made a different choice—one that ended in the deaths of two small boys. This case takes place in Tipton County and Grant County, Indiana, ...
Send a message to Monica and Olivia! In 1925, 29-year-old Florence Kane stepped off a subway in Brooklyn after a night out with friends. She called her mother to say she would be home in 30 minutes. In the final stretch of just 6 blocks, the unthinkable happened; Florence never made it home. As fear spread through the neighborhood, reports surfaced of other women being attacked in the same way—grabbed in the dark, beaten, and left for dead. And yet, despite witnesses, patterns, and mounting p...
Send a message to Monica and Olivia! This is the third and final episode in our Edmund Creffield series. By the time Edmund Creffield lay dead on a Seattle sidewalk, it should have been over. The prophet was gone; the spell should have been broken. The story should have ended, but another chapter had just begun. Because what followed was not closure… it was unraveling. As George Mitchell stands trial for the killing, the courtroom fills with stories that are as disturbing as they are difficul...
Send a message to Monica and Olivia! This is the second episode following Edmund Creffield and the cult he began in Corvallis, OR, after her arrived in late 1902. In this episode, he was finally caught. After months in hiding, Edmund Creffield is pulled from beneath a house—filthy, frail, and barely able to stand—and brought into custody at last.
