    On April 28th, 1908, news of the Gunness home having gone up in flames spread quickly through LaPorte, Indiana. Some recalled the dire cries of warning coming from the farm's owner, Belle Gunness, that her farmhand had threatened to burn the home down with her and her children inside, and it seemed like he had finally acted on it. Four bodies were found in the wreckage of the home, but upon closer inspection, a more macabre picture started to take shape. Although there's no real way of knowing how many fell by her hands, she's estimated to have killed 28 people throughout her life and gotten away with it... by faking her own death? Join us this week as we take a look at this fascinating case of greed turned butchery.

    The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel

    Do you believe in demons? In the Roman Catholic Church, the rite of exorcism is a restricted practice with strict guidelines for what can qualify. Anneliese Michel was a student who started to experience symptoms of epilepsy as a teenager, but every medical treatment she tried seemed to fail and she proceeded to get worse. Having grown up in an extremely devout Catholic family, those around her began to suspect her symptoms weren't related to mental or physical illness at all, but of demonic possession. After repeated appeals to bishops in the provincial, local area of southern German, one bishop finally approved the request which led deadly consequences. Join us for our season finale as Briana takes us through the ins and outs of this tragic case and we discuss some of the issues with balancing faith and religion with modern medicine.

    In October of 2009, 20-year-old Morgan Harrington disappeared after attending a Metallica concert in Charlottesville. Months later, her remains were discovered in a remote field a few miles away. Fast forward to September 2014 and the story repeats itself with 18-year-old Hannah Graham who went missing after leaving a party. Her remains were found exactly five years and one day after Morgan's disappearance. It wasn't long before security footage revealed these two young women had something in common: the last person who saw them alive. Join us today as Briana goes through the details of these cases, how they connected, and how Hannah's disappearance helped solve not only Morgan's case, but another that had gone cold. Please consider making a donation to Help Save the Next Girl (http://helpsavethenextgirl.com/donate/) on behalf of Morgan, Hannah, and their families.

This phenomenon is so rare that most people would never expect it to happen to them. At the age of 18, Angelique Cruz was only weeks shy of delivering her baby boy when a friend made an attempt at stealing him. We had the privilege of hearing the story from Angelique directly, so join us as she takes us through the ups and downs of that fateful night.

    This episode is a two for one! First, we dive into the case of Abraham Shakespeare, a lottery winner who was taken advantage of and murdered by someone he trusted to help him manage his money. Then we examine the unsolved case of Heidi Childs and David Metzler, two college students who were murdered in a secluded area near Virginia Tech.
