Crime Bit with Danelle Hallan

Ebonee Spears was a 30-year-old mother living in Wilmington, North Carolina. On the night of January 15th, 2016, she walked into the police station during a mental health crisis—looking for help. She left the station a short time later, and was reportedly seen again near her home. But after that, she was never heard from again. Nearly a decade later, her daughter is still without answers, and her family is still fighting for the truth. How does someone vanish after taking clear steps to get help? In this podcast, I walk through the full timeline of Ebonee's disappearance, including the confirmed sightings, the missteps, the police response, and the heartbreaking questions that remain.  

A family has waited nearly 15 years for answers. Shane Fell vanished after a late-night car crash on a dark Louisiana road. His phone kept ringing. His shoe was found in the mud. But Shane himself? Gone. No sightings. No bank activity. No trail. And no one knows why. In this episode, I take you through Shane's story — a case that's baffling, heartbreaking, and rarely covered in the media. His family still fights every day for answers. There were no press conferences. No viral campaigns. And hardly any media attention. That's exactly why I need to tell this story.

In 2015, a suitcase dumped off a quiet Australian highway led to one of the most disturbing revelations in the country's criminal history. Inside were the remains of a toddler — alone, unidentified, and unclaimed. But this wasn't just a cold case — it was part of a terrifying web of identity theft, manipulation, and murder. This is the story of Karlie Pearce-Stevenson and her 2-year-old daughter Khandalyce — a young mother and child whose lives were stolen, then used for years to deceive their family, friends, and even government systems. As investigators followed the trail from the outback to Belanglo State Forest, a haunting picture emerged — of trust betrayed, systems exploited, and justice delayed. From a suitcase on the roadside to a skeleton in a forest, their story shocked the nation… and forever changed how Australia handles missing persons and welfare fraud.
