In this episode Sean and I chat about the mysterious murders of Liberty (Libby) German and Abigail (Abby) Williams. The 2 young ladies were murderered after getting dropped off at a local hiking trail / bridge. Thier bodies were found the next day but the police are tight lipped on any kind of details about this investigation. They are very particular with what has been shared to date to t he public as they ask for help solving this case. We have our own thoughts and opinions and don't understand why certain decisions were made by authorities. We hope and pray that this doesn't turn into a cold case, like Maura Murray did 15 years ago where there are still no answers to this day. There has to be more on the phone that can be shared with the public to help this case. Ultimately, someone knows something and they aren't talking.

With the recent 8th anniversary on June 3, 2019, we decided to cover Lauren Spierer's disappearance. This case received a good amount of media coverage and still no answers for Rob and Charlene Spierer. The police have not released much to the public including any of the surveillance videos captured the night Lauren vanished. There have been a number of persons of interest and they have either been cleared or lawyered up. We talk about Lauren and her travels through the night of June 3, 2011 and a number of theories out there circulating, along with our own differing opinions.

Social anxiety, depression, pressures of society and social media, all those contributed to Conrad Roy III's death. This was a very hard case to investigate and research, it 's sad all around. Most of the news focus' on Michelle Carter and her trial, laws, conviction but what about Conrad? He has been lost among all the noise of Michelle and her legal case. There is so much to this story that people don't know, read or look up for themselves. Most opinions are based on headlines, articles or news stories. In this episode Sean and I take a look at Conrad's actions leading up to the night he killed himself, text messages that were sent and not just the incriminating ones. These 2 teenagers were both mentally ill or unstable and the public should be talking more about helping kids like Conrad and Michelle.
