14 MAY. 2025 · When 19-year-old Shana Grice reported her stalker to the police, they didn’t just dismiss her—they fined her. Months later, she was found murdered in her bedroom, her throat slashed, and her home set on fire. The man responsible had a documented history of harassment, and Shana had done everything she could to be heard. In this episode, I tell the devastating story of Shana Grice—a young woman who was failed at every turn by the very system meant to protect her. I'll go over the red flags that were ignored, the chilling behavior of her killer, and how one police department’s negligence became a national scandal. This is more than a true crime story. It’s a warning.

Featuring a Promo for True Crime Connections PodcastWe honor deep healing while also making room for laughter, lightness, and moments of joy. Many guests say being on the show felt like chatting with a friend who truly understands. As a survivor of physical, financial, sexual, and psychological abuse, I know what it’s like to feel silenced, devalued, and lost. Back then, terms like gaslighting, narcissism, and love bombing weren’t common, making it even harder to spot toxic patterns.
My mission is to empower others by sharing my journey and helping people recognize the critical difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships.

30 ABR. 2025 · In Today's episode, I dive into the mysterious 1987 disappearance of 16-year-old Theresa Bier in the remote Sierra Nevada mountains near Fresno, California. Accompanied by 43-year-old Russell Welch, a self-proclaimed Bigfoot hunter, Theresa vanished without a trace during an expedition in the wilderness. Welch was later arrested but never charged due to lack of evidence. What happened deep in those woods? Join me as I explore the strange circumstances, disturbing theories, and unanswered questions surrounding the Theresa Bier case—a mystery that still baffles investigators today.
Anyone with information about Theresa's disappearance is encouraged to call the Fresno Police Department at (559) 621-2541 The case number to reference is 8736264

23 ABR. 2025 · Today, I sit down with Tess Korth, the whistleblower who exposed rampant abuse and systemic corruption at FCI Dublin, a federal women’s prison in California once dubbed “the rape club” by those who lived and worked within its walls. Tess shares her firsthand experiences working inside a prison where the power dynamics turned predatory and silence was enforced through fear. Throughout her 25-year career, she witnessed not only the abuse of incarcerated women by staff but also the institutional cover-ups that followed. Tess faced retaliation, ostracization, and threats when she decided to speak out, but she didn’t back down. In our conversation, Tess walks us through the moment she knew she had to blow the whistle, the emotional toll of breaking the silence, and the slow grind for justice in a system stacked against transparency.

18 ABR. 2025 · On April 16, 2003, Air Force Colonel Philip Shue was found dead in his car after it veered off a Texas highway and slammed into a tree. But this wasn’t an ordinary crash. Shue's body showed signs of brutal mutilation—his chest was mutilated and his finger amputated in an act of twisted, surgical, precision, and duct tape dangled from his wrists.
Officially ruled a suicide, the case left behind more questions than answers.In this episode of The Book of the Dead, we dive deep into one of the most baffling and controversial military deaths in modern history. Was Colonel Shue suffering a mental health crisis—or was he killed for financial gain?
We explore the forensic inconsistencies, the 3 autopsy reports, and the voices still fighting for justice.

9 ABR. 2025 · In 2016, 21-year-old Keeshae Jacobs disappeared after telling her mom she would return the next day. Nearly a decade later, she’s still missing—but someone has admitted to knowing what happened.
In this episode, I expose the disturbing connections between Keeshae’s disappearance and the 2022 killing of Ashley Fowler—whose alleged killer also claimed responsibility for Keeshae’s disappearance. I also cover the tragedy that befell the Jacobs family mere months after Keeshae's disappearance, leaving her mother heartbroken and devastated Why was his confession never pursued? Why has this case gone cold despite multiple opportunities for answers and why was a mother, desperate for answers ignored by the police? how many families have to suffer before justice is taken seriously?
We honor Keeshae’s story, advocate for the families affected, and ask the questions law enforcement hasn’t. This is more than a mystery—it’s a failure of justice.
If you have any information leading to the whereabouts ofKeeshae's remains, please
Call Richmond Police at (804) 646-5100
Or Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000

19 MAR. 2025 · In this gripping chapter of The Book of the Dead, we dive deep into one of the most haunting true crime cases: the murder of Kristina Hickey. Join us as we explore the chilling details of the crime that shook a community and the subsequent investigation that led to a wrongful conviction.
We’ll examine the evidence that pointed to Christopher Abernathy, who spent years behind bars for a crime he did not commit, and the journey toward exoneration. Listen in as we discuss the impact of media coverage, the role of forensic science, and the relentless pursuit of truth that ultimately led to Abernathy’s release. This episode sheds light on a tragic event and highlights the importance of justice and the fight against wrongful convictions.
Unfortunately, while Christopher was rightfully exonerated, Kristina's murder is still unsolved, and she has waited decades for justice. This is her story, in the hopes her family gets answers.

12 MAR. 2025 · In today's chapter, I delve into the mysterious disappearance of Heather Elvis, a 20-year-old woman from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, who went missing on December 18, 2013. Her abandoned car was found at Peachtree Landing, but Heather was never seen again. The investigation led to Tammy and Sidney Moorer, a married couple whose tumultuous relationship with Heather would become the focus of multiple high-profile trials. Were the Moorers responsible for Heather's disappearance, or was the truth lost in a whirlwind of jealousy, deception, and conflicting testimonies? Join me as I break down every twist and turn of the Heather Elvis case, including:
- Heather Elvis’s final movements and her relationship with Sidney Moorer.
- The bizarre online behavior and accusations from Tammy Moorer.
- The police investigation and evidence pointing toward the Moorers.
- The courtroom drama and verdicts that continue to divide public opinion.
- The lingering question: What truly happened to Heather Elvis?
