Graveyard Confessions: The Disappearance of Lee Boxell 29:05

In the quiet suburbs of South London, 15-year-old Lee Boxell was known for his infectious smile and warm personality. On a Saturday morning in 1988, he left home, with his parents thinking he was just off to a football match—unaware that they would never see their son again. Lee was last seen heading to Sutton town center to meet a friend, but after that, he vanished without a trace. Years passed, and the search for Lee seemed to go cold. But then, a chilling lead emerged. A witness recalled seeing Lee at an unofficial youth club known as “The Shed,” tucked away at St Dunstan’s Church in nearby Cheam. As the investigation deepened, the police uncovered a disturbing secret. A network of pedophiles had been operating in the area at the time of Lee’s disappearance, one of whom ran the youth club. For Lee’s family, now decades removed from that fateful day, the answers remain elusive. His parents—aging and heartbroken—have waited over 30 years without closure. The one thing they still yearn for is to know the truth: Is Lee still out there? Or was he taken from them in the most tragic way imaginable?

When Love Turned Deadly: Reeva Steenkamp's Tragic Valentine’s Day 30:37

It was February 14th, 2013—a day meant to be filled with love, romance, and heart-shaped cards... but for one couple, this Valentine’s Day would forever be remembered for tragedy and mystery. It was the moment when Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee and a beloved South African Paralympian runner, fired four shots through a locked bathroom door, killing his girlfriend, 29-year-old Reeva Steenkamp. A model, law graduate, and rising star, Reeva’s promising life was cut short in a violent moment that would leave the world in shock. Oscar claimed that he believed an intruder had broken into his home. A fear not entirely unfounded, as he had been the victim of previous break-ins and had even received death threats. He said he slept with his 9mm pistol under his bed, ready to protect himself at any moment. After firing the shots, Oscar said he grabbed a cricket bat to break down the door. It was only then, in the aftermath, that he realized who he had shot—Reeva, the woman he had been in a relationship with. The police believed otherwise - that it wasn’t a case of self-defense, but rather a tragic result of a domestic dispute. Neighbours reported hearing loud arguments coming from Oscar’s' house shortly before the fatal shots rang out. The theory? Oscar and Reeva had argued, and in a moment of rage or confusion, he shot her through the door.

On the morning of February 9, 2023, 43-year-old Crystal McCrory Jones woke up feeling ill, so she scheduled a doctor’s appointment for the afternoon. She never showed up at that appointment. After repeated calls and texts went unanswered, her husband Tony called the West Carroll Parish Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Chuck Harris was dispatched to perform a welfare check. When no one answered the door, Tony granted the deputy permission to enter. What he found inside would change everything. Crystal was dead. A gunshot wound to the head—her life extinguished in an instant. But what was ruled a suicide by authorities within just 1 hour and 45 minutes, didn’t sit right with her family - especially her sister, Jana, who continues to fight for the truth of what happened to Crystal. She says the investigation was rushed, the answers too quick. For Crystal’s family, this wasn’t just a tragedy—but a hole left in their lives without reason. They believe something darker could be at play, and they’re fighting to get Crystal’s case reopened. And for good reason - the discrepancies in reports, statements and evidence are astounding. What really happened that morning?

On June 21, 2020, 14-year-old Noah Donohoe vanished from the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland—setting off a tragic mystery that would grip the nation for years to come. His disappearance wasn’t even the most puzzling part: After telling his mom that he was going to meet up with some friends that day, surveillance footage captured Noah riding his bike down a residential street… naked. What followed was a desperate, widespread search as volunteers, police, and the local community combed through the city for days. Six agonizing days later, Noah’s body was found in a storm drain in North Belfast. His death—unexpected, unexplained, and haunting—has raised more questions than answers. What led to that strange moment biking naked down the street? And how did he end up alone, so far from home, in a place no one could have predicted? An ongoing inquest has thrown up many theories and fueled public speculation. Noah’s family, devastated and searching for clarity, has demanded transparency. As they navigate the complex investigation, they hold on to one simple hope: justice for Noah.

A Lesson on Violence Against Trans Youth: Brianna Ghey 29:39

It was February 11th, 2023. Brianna Ghey, a 16-year-old girl from Cheshire, England with fiery red hair and a love for TikTok, was like any other teenager starting her Saturday morning. Dressed in a cozy white hoodie, her head buried in her phone, she stepped out of her home, ready to meet a friend. It all started with a text. Her “friend,” 15-year-old Scarlett Jenkinson, invited Brianna to meet her at the library, just after 1:30 p.m. Despite her social anxiety, Brianna pushed through the fear. She texted her mom on the way saying: "I'm on the bus by myself, I'm scared." Her mom, supportive and proud, replied: “That’s well good.” But Brianna would never see those words. Within just two hours, Brianna’s life would be violently ripped away by Scarlett and her accomplice, 15-year-old Eddie Ratcliffe. The friendly face she was meeting, a girl she thought she could trust, would turn out to be the one who betrayed her—leading her to a remote spot, where she would be attacked and left lifeless, face down in the dirt. Her death shocked the nation, highlighting the ongoing issues of transphobia and violence against transgender individuals.

Lured Into Tragedy with a False Promise: The Disappearance of the Jack Family 26:05

On August 2, 1989, the Jack family—Ronnie, Doreen, and their two young sons, Russell and Ryan—disappeared without a trace. An Indigenous family from Prince George, British Columbia, seemingly just vanished after Ronnie accepted an unexpected job offer. What was meant to be a fresh start for the struggling family would become one of the most chilling mysteries in the province's history. The night before their disappearance, Ronnie met a man at a local bar—an encounter that would set the course for this tragedy. The stranger, a tall Caucasian man with reddish-brown hair and a full beard, offered Ronnie and Doreen lucrative work at a remote logging camp, promising them well-paid jobs and even daycare for their young children. The family, eager for a new opportunity, packed up and left their home in a white pickup truck, accompanied by this man. That was the last anyone saw of them—all four members of the Jack family. In the decades since, countless investigations have yielded no answers. No bodies. There are no concrete leads. Just unanswered questions. Like - Who was this man who lured the Jack family with empty promises? Why has there been no trace of them since, despite extensive searches? And what happened to Ronnie, Doreen, Russell, and Ryan after getting into that pickup truck?

The Tragic Case of Innocence Lost: Jordan Browns Traumatic Childhood 28:54

On a cold February morning in 2009, a quiet rural town in Pennsylvania was rocked by a horrific crime: a 26-year-old woman, Kenzie Marie Houk, was found shot in her own home. Katie, eight months pregnant with her unborn child, had been murdered in cold blood. However, the case that followed would raise more questions than answers. The police quickly turned their attention to an unlikely suspect—11-year-old Jordan Brown, the young son of Kenzie’s fiancé, Chris. In the absence of any solid evidence, the investigation seemed to hinge on one thing: the testimony of Kenzie’s then-7-year-old daughter Jenessa, who told police she saw Jordan moving his guns on the morning of the murder. Kenzie’s mother supported this theory by suggesting that Jordan had been threatening to hurt her for months. So, was Jordan the jealous child that Kenzie’s family painted him to be, capable of murder? Or was he the victim of a justice system eager to pin the blame on someone—anyone—when the real killer was still out there? In the following years, Jordan's case became a tangled web of courtroom battles and the fight to unravel the truth. Who killed Kenzie Houk? Jordan Brown's case would spark a national conversation about juvenile justice, about the capacity of children to commit such a crime, and about the flaws in an investigation that seemed to prioritize one theory over all others. But one question remained: Would justice for Kenzie ever truly be served?

An Unlikely Suspect: The Murders of J.B. Beasley and Tracie Hawlett 34:21

In the summer of 1999, two young women were stolen from their small town in Alabama—two lives cut tragically short, leaving behind nothing but questions. J.B. Beasley, just 17 years old, was celebrating her birthday when she and her best friend, Tracie Hawlett, disappeared without a trace. Hours later, their bodies were found—brutally murdered and left in the trunk of their car, parked on a quiet road in Ozark. The scene was gruesome. Their bodies showed signs of a violent struggle—scratches, mud, and evidence that they had been dragged through the underbrush. The car was found in a location that didn’t match the crime—it was clear the murder had happened somewhere else, far from where they were left. For nearly two decades, the case went cold. Rumours swirled. Speculations ran wild. Some whispered of a cover-up, others feared the killer was still out there, walking free. The investigation was stagnant, leaving the community haunted by the unsolved murders of two young girls. Did the killer live amongst them? But then, in 2019, something changed—a new method - one that would bring the investigation back to life. For the first time, detectives turned to familial DNA. The evidence recovered from J.B.’s body was entered into public genealogy databases—searching for a name buried deep within family trees. It would take years, but finally, detectives zeroed in on a name. An unlikely suspect—someone who, for decades, had slipped through the cracks.

On April 1st, 2024, Sade Robinson, a 19-year-old from Milwaukee, told an employee at her apartment building she was looking forward to a date that evening. Just hours later, stills from a surveillance video captured Sade sitting beside a man at Twisted Fisherman, a local restaurant, before leaving with him. That would be the last time anyone saw her alive. The following day, Sade’s car was found burned out in a parking lot—her clothes discarded in the trunk. But the horrors didn’t end there. A human leg was discovered near the shores of Lake Michigan, and soon after, a foot, matching the leg, was found just a few miles away in Milwaukee.

The Shocking Spring Break Murder Tied to Black Magic: Mark Kilroy's Tragic Spring Break 30:59

It’s spring break 1989, a time for fun and relaxation – but for one Texas college student, a week of sun and sand would turn into a nightmare. When Mark Kilroy vanished in the Mexican border town of Matamoros outside of a bar, the initial response from authorities was anything but swift. Local Mexican police treated it like any other missing person report, but for those who loved him, the clock was ticking. Mark's family, his friends, and a growing number of volunteers knew this wasn't just an ordinary case—it was something far darker, far more sinister. What followed was a twisted tale of ritual sacrifice, drug smuggling, and unimaginable brutality and torture. As the days passed, the case grew colder—and yet, something far more chilling was unfolding in the shadows of Matamoros… something that would soon make Mark Kilroy’s name synonymous with a dark chapter in criminal history. Less than a month after his disappearance, Mark's body was discovered, along with 14 others, buried on a remote ranch. What happened in those dark weeks he was missing would reveal the horrors of a cult led by the sadistic Adolfo Constanzo.

On the morning of February 24, 2023, calls to 911 from the Banfield family home set off a chain of events that would unravel a dark and twisted tale of betrayal, love, and murder. When police arrived, they found Christine Banfield, a mother and wife, barely alive with multiple stab wounds to her body. Nearby, a man named Joseph Ryan was found dead, shot in cold blood. The scene was puzzling—Christine’s husband, Brendan Banfield, the couple’s au pair, Juliana Magalhães, and their 4-year-old daughter were all present at the home, yet unharmed. So, what had happened? According to the au pair, Juliana, she had left the house early that morning with the child to go to the zoo, only to return later after forgetting the packed lunches. What she found when she returned was a strange car she didn’t recognize, parked in the Bandfield home driveway. Concerned, she decided to call her employer, Brendan Banfield, and he rushed home to see what was going on. Brendan and Julianna claimed they entered the home together and heard noises coming from upstairs. When they walked into the master bedroom, they discovered an unknown man - Joseph Ryan - with the naked, bloody body of Christine Banfield. In an attempt to save Christine, Joseph was shot and killed. He had been invited to the home by Christine for a trist after chatting on a fetish website and things got out of hand. But during the investigation, this story quickly fell apart. What started as a case of self-defence soon crumbled under the weight of suspicion, lies, and secrets that no one was prepared to uncover.

In September 2023, a quiet family home in Essex, England, became the scene of an unthinkable crime. Two elderly people—70-year-old John McCullough and his 71-year-old wife, Lois—had been missing for years. Their doctor, concerned after multiple missed appointments, alerted the authorities. What followed next would leave even the most seasoned detectives stunned. When Essex Police forced their way into the McCulloughs' home on September 15, they were met by a chilling confession. Their daughter, Virginia McCullough, was standing in the doorway. With her hands raised, ready to surrender, she calmly told officers, "I knew this would come eventually... It’s proper that I serve my punishment." But nothing could have prepared them for what lay behind that door. As the investigation unfolded, disturbing bodycam footage captured her eerie, detached demeanour as she admitted to killing her parents. The horrors discovered inside the home would shock the world. This case, as one veteran detective put it, "horrified even the most experienced murder investigators."
