Episode 135 Thomas Clancy Sr. Thomas Clancy Sr was a proud and decorated WW2 veteran who became a successful businessman in Dallas, Texas when he moved there with his large family in the 1960s. Thomas and his wife of 35 years divorced, and he found himself re-married a couple years later. But Thomas's second marriage appeared to be falling apart, and was on the verge of divorce. In November 1983, Thomas was also dealing with a very sick daughter who was hospitalized and not expected to pull through. He wanted to be by her side, and that's why his family became so worried after the 60 year old failed to show up at the hospital after a few days. They scrambled to call around and find him. They learned that his second wife had confronted him and a female co worker at a bar and that she had threatened to kill the co worker. When Thomas left the bar that night, he was never seen again. Just days later, Thomas Clancy Sr's Cadillac was located across from the bar he was last seen at by his son. His body was found inside the trunk. He had been shot to death. As some of Thomas's adult children tried to cope with what had happened, they soon were troubled by some of the things that Thomas's wife, and two of his sons had said and done during the time Thomas was missing and after his body was found. It wasn't just odd to them, but police also seemed to suspect someone close to Thomas had murdered him, and they looked closely at Thomas's inner circle, but despite police suspicion, no arrests have ever been made in the case, and it left a family suspicious of each other. Forty years later the case is still unsolved. Thomas's daughter Barbara still carries on the fight for justice for her father. She wants to know who murdered him and why. In this episode, she discusses not only her dad's terrible murder, but about the accomplished life he led.

Episode 134 Jesse Dempsey 41 Year old father of three, Jesse Dempsey was shot to death around 11pm as he drove about 70MPH along I-20 near Lithonia, in DeKalb County Georgia on October 25th, 2020. Jesse was in the passenger seat driving his girlfriend Kendra Vickery's White GMC Sierra Pickup when a single bullet blew out the back window, passed through the driver's headrest, and struck Jesse in the head.

Jesse slammed on the brakes and came to a stop in the middle lane, and the truck was struck from behind by another driver, 39-year-old Marie Fleuristin. Kendra's truck wound up on the shoulder of the road, and Kendra called 911 as she tried to get out of the vehicle. Tragically, Marie Fleuristin, the driver of the vehicle that slammed into Kendra's truck, exited her vehicle and was struck and killed by a semi truck.

Following Jesse's death, his family was left to wonder, was Jesse targeted by someone intending to kill him, or was he the victim of a random sniper. It turns out that Jesse was mixed up with some shady people, but it also came to light that other vehicles in that same stretch of highway have been shot at, Today, Jesse's case remains unsolved.

Episode 130 Catrina Mowrey In June, 1985, 24 year old Kansas native Catherine 'Catrina' Mowrey was planning to travel from the Dallas, Texas area where she was living, back to Kansas to visit family. She never showed up. On June 25th, her nude body was found in the trunk of a car in an area of Dallas known for its high crime rate. Catrina's body was wrapped in a sheet, and according to some reports, she had a belt wrapped around her neck. Due to decomposition, the medical examiner was not able to determine a cause of death, and termed it undetermined. Police investigating the case quickly concluded that Catrina had died of a drug overdose, but when no drugs were found in her system, shifted gears and theorized she had taken her own life. Later, they said she may have died of natural causes, and someone close to her got rid of her body. Police explored all kinds of theories except the one that seemed the most obvious; that Catrina was a homicide victim. Investigators tracked the car Catrina was found in to a man she was in some sort of relationship with, possibly dating. He apparently had an alibi, and according to him, he didn't realize Catrina was even missing, and assumed she had gone back to Kansas with his car to visit family as she had planned to do. In Catrina's apartment, they found Catrina's suitcase which she had apparently packed to take with her to Kansas. They also found her glasses in the apartment. Catrina who was legally blind could not see very well without them and certainly could not drive. It was reported that Catrina was involved in low level drug dealing, and several people she associated with had criminal records. Instead of looking closely at the people in Catrina's circle, they continued to avoid investigating her death as a homicide. For the better part of 40 years, Catrina's case sat in limbo. During that time, tragedy struck the Mowry family again when one of Catrina's sisters was murdered in an unrelated case. Heartbroken, Catrina's last surviving sister, Deborah teamed up with her daughter Catrina to dig into the case and search for the truth. The younger Catrina was named after her aunt who she never got to meet in order to honor her memory. When Deborah passed away, it was up to her daughter Catrina to solve see her Aunt Catrina's case finally resolved. She began with petitioning Dallas police to re-open the investigation into Catrina's 1985 death, and her efforts paid off. In March, 2023, the case was re-opened, and hopefully, investigators can find the truth about the death of Catrina Mowry once and for all. In this episode, Catrina's niece; her namesake, Catrina discusses her Aunt's case, and her efforts to see it solved.
