Tiffany Whitton walked into a Walmart in Marietta, Georgia, one September night in 2013—and vanished without a trace. No calls. No sightings. Just silence.

When former state trooper Ronda Reynolds was found dead in her home in 1998, authorities quickly ruled it a suicide. But something about the scene didn't sit right—not with the crime scene investigators, not with her mother, and not with the growing list of people who believed Ronda had been silenced. In this episode, we unravel the tangled case of Ronda Reynolds—a woman caught between a troubled marriage, a new beginning, and a chilling end. Was it suicide, as initially claimed? Or was it a carefully staged murder with a cover-up that reached far too close to home?Join us as we examine the twists, the inconsistencies, and the relentless pursuit of justice by one determined mother who refused to let her daughter's story be buried.

In EP267, we examine the deeply unsettling case of Cary Stayner, the Yosemite Killer. On the surface, Cary seemed quiet--reserved, even overlooked. But behind that silence was a storm of inner torment, obsession, and darkness. What makes his story even more chilling is the irony: Cary Stayner, was the brother of Steven Stayner (who we discussed in EP266), a national hero who survived a childhood abduction. While the world watched one brother's trauma unfold in the headlines, the other battled invisible demons--ones that would eventually erupt in brutal violence. This is not just the story of a killer- it's the story of unresolved trauma, twisted fantasies, and the shadow legacy of a family marked by tragedy.SOURCES: 1) Sund details frantic hunt for wife, daughter: Father-husband testifies during Stayner's preliminary hearing into slayings of 3 Yosemite visitors2) CBS News: The Yosemite Murders -- in photos3)Crime Library: Cary Stayner and the Yosemite Murders4) CBS Sacramento: 25 years later: FBI agent shares how he got Cary Stayner to confess to Yosemite killings5) SF Gate: Overshadowed All His Life / Low-key Cary Stayner took back seat to kidnapped brother6) 20/20 Episode: Evil in Eden

Anna Bachmeier was nowhere to be found when her mom got home. Having gotten into a fight with her mother the night before, Anna decided to skip school. When her mother, Marianne came home that day she panicked when she couldn't find Anna. After calling all her friends, Marianne decided to call the police. Only hours later, a woman walked into the police station with a chilling story: her fiance, Klaus Grabowski, a butcher and neighbor to Anna and Marianne had confessed to killing Anna and dumping her body in a cardboard box near a riverbed. 10 months later Klaus went to trial and took the stand to describe the events that led up to Anna's murder.
