On a Saturday morning in 1990, the body of a teenager was found on a dead-end street in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The scene raised immediate concerns, but the autopsy did not answer the question everyone needed answered most: how did Kasha Blount die?Police waited on the medical examiner. The medical examiner waited on police. Kasha's mother pushed for answers and a reporter started asking questions. Finally, the investigation turned toward Kasha's final plans, the boyfriend she expected to meet, and the belongings missing when she was found. The case would reach a jury, but the question at the center of it all never went away.View source material and photos for this episode at: https://darkdowneast.com/kashablountDark Downeast is an Audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.Follow @darkdowneast on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokTo suggest a case visit darkdowneast.com/submit-caseDid you know you can listen to Dark Downeast ad-free?

The murder of 41-year-old Toby Tate is a case that no one thought would ever be resolved – one that spent decades collecting dust in a file box at the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Office. Until two detectives decided to take another look… and all of a sudden, after 40 years, the hazy picture of a fatal 1983 burglary gone wrong started to come into focus, and preserved DNA evidence revealed a twist that no one saw coming.If you know anything about the murder of Dorothy “Toby” Tate or the movements of Charley Sneed or Steven Hardy, please reach out to the San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Office Detectives Division at (805) 781-4500 or, if you'd rather stay anonymous, you can call the San Luis Obispo County Crime Stoppers at (805) 549-7867.

A young mother disappears just days before Christmas. More than a year later, another woman is murdered across state lines. The cases seem separate – different cities, different circumstances – but eventually they converge around the same teenage suspect.What follows is more complicated than a confession and a conviction. It's a case shaped by questions of mental competency, juvenile justice, changing constitutional protections, and what happens when one act of violence forces investigators to reconsider others that never made sense.View source material and photos for this episode at: https://darkdowneast.com/nancyannfrenierDark Downeast is an Audiochuck and Kylie Media production hosted by Kylie Low.Follow @darkdowneast on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokTo suggest a case visit darkdowneast.com/submit-caseDid you know you can listen to Dark Downeast ad-free?

In 2019, we covered the Sodder children, five siblings who vanished after their family's home burned down on Christmas morning in 1945. Officials said they died in the fire, but no bodies were ever found. And now, with new information from a family descendant, we're taking another look at what happened when their parents started asking questions, and why the family spent decades believing the children may have survived. If you have information that you believe could be related to the disappearance of the Sodder children, please contact us at tips@audiochuck.com or Miranda Weeks at 5sodderkids@gmail.com.

Our card this week is Zachary Michael Bernhardt, the 4 of Diamonds from Florida. Nearly 26 years after the eight-year-old vanished from his second-floor apartment in Clearwater, Florida, his whereabouts remain a mystery. Zachary's case is Florida's longest-running AMBER Alert. It is also a story we covered on Crime Junkie more than seven years ago. In this episode of The Deck, we're taking a fresh look at the evidence, including the 911 call Zachary's mother made in the early morning hours of September 11 to report him missing. Could there have been clues that were missed? And could statements made by Zachary's mother early on shed new light on a cold-case investigation that has stumped both detectives and Crime Junkies alike? This is the last episode of The Deck, but our mission isn't finished. We wanted to find a way to honor the show and its mission outside of podcasting, so we have created a $100,000 endowed fund in partnership with Crime Stoppers USA. With that, Crime Stoppers affiliates and programs nationwide will have access to funds for creating and printing cold case decks in perpetuity, so The Deck can live on.

When 30-year-old Alyssa Romine-Olson is found floating naked and face down in the pond of a Gilbert, Arizona nature preserve in 2016, online coverage makes the case sound like a suicide. But her missing belongings, an undetermined cause of death, and key evidence found at the scene tell a different story. And all roads seem to lead back to one man. But when his alibi is verified, the case takes some shocking turns. If you know anything about the 2016 death of Alyssa Romine-Olson at the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert, Arizona, you can contact the Gilbert Police Department by submitting a tip at GilbertAZ.gov/SubmitATip, in reference to case #16-9745.

Jeff is back after a long absence, and he explains why: the bipartisan insanity in America left him too disgusted to record, even for the nation's 250th birthday. He remembers the 1976 bicentennial, when kids collected special quarters, flags flew everywhere, and Americans actually liked their country. Compare that to now. What changed? Muslim terror supporters are winning elections coast to coast: Mamdani's New York, where tax dollars fund Israel-bashing puppet shows for four-year-olds, and Michigan, where Abdul El-Sayed will cruise into the Senate after answering a synagogue terror attack with "hurt people, hurt people." Jew hate is now the one issue uniting the far left and the Nazi right — and it wins. And Jeff is officially done defending Trump. Iran "unconditionally surrendered"? They're still firing missiles, rebuilding nuclear sites, and executing protesters while Trump begs for a deal and dangles F-35s in front of Turkey's fanatical dictator Erdogan. Compromised by Qatari billions or just a moron — either way, America's last chance is gone. Next week: Jeff finally takes on the Lindsay Clancy case.

Our card this week is Mary Kathleen Rodriguez, the 5 of Spades from Texas. For more than three decades, the question of who killed 26-year-old Mary Kathleen Rodriguez has hung over the town of West Odessa, Texas. Known as Kathleen to those who loved her, the live-in nanny was found brutally beaten to death inside the home of the couple she worked for. Although the case has changed hands from one detective to another, the original facts of the case remain the same. There was no sign of forced entry, meaning Kathleen almost certainly knew whoever came to the door that night. And the one person who could have been on the other side of that door is still at large. If you lived in or near the 1000 block of Clendenen Avenue in West Odessa, Texas, in December of 1990 and have information regarding the death of Mary Kathleen Rodriguez, please reach out to the Criminal Investigation Identification Department of the Ector County Sheriff's Office at 432-335-3050. You can also submit a tip anonymously to Odessa Crime Stoppers at 432-333-TIPS (8477) or at https://www.333tips.org/.

Warning: a tad sweary in this episode. But, at least no golden retrievers were harmed during the recording of this episode. These ladie were both SO much fun to chat with, and you can easily hear how well their rapport with each other translates into quite the interesting podcast, too! I can tell you, that both of them would be fun on a date, too. (Not that I'm pimping them out. My leisure suit and big furry hat are at the cleaners.) Plus, I'm not allowed to date anymore.

Our card this week is Daniel Traina, the 8 of Diamonds from Florida. 49-year-old Daniel Traina was hard to miss. The Six-foot-four happy-go-lucky guy was always bopping around the West Palm Beach suburb of Lake Park. … well known to bartenders, store clerks, and neighbors. So it was mind-boggling when, in May of 2021, Daniel walked out of a 7-Eleven next to Florida's busy Federal Highway … and vanished into the sticky, humid night… leaving behind NO clues. And as investigators have tried to retrace Daniel's final movements and work their way through those closest to him, the case has taken on a distinctly South Florida feel. An ocean-side town, a 7-Eleven sign glowing in the dark, a cast of eccentric characters, conflicting stories, and a mystery that, five years later, still has everyone asking: how did someone who was so hard to miss vanish without a trace? If you know anything that can help the Traina family get answers about what happened to Daniel, call the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office at (561) 688-4000. Or you can submit an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County through their website at crimestoppersPBC.com.

Travis is joined in the studio by his producer, Eric, for a candid breakdown of the highest-paid podcasters of 2026. Together, they look beyond celebrity and download counts to unpack why niche audiences, high-value listeners, strong sponsorships, and strategic ownership can make a podcast extraordinarily valuable—even when the show is relatively small. On this episode we talk about: The highest-paid podcasts and creators of 2026, from Joe Rogan and Crime Junkie to The Diary of a CEO and SmartLess Why a small, highly influential audience can be more valuable than a massive general audience TBPN's reported acquisition by OpenAI and what it suggests about podcast ownership, audience capture, and media influence The difference between celebrity-driven shows and podcasts built around niche expertise Why podcasting is rarely the fastest route to revenue—and how it can still open doors to bigger opportunities Top 3 Takeaways Build for audience quality, not just download volume. A focused show that reaches decision-makers can command premium sponsorships and create outsized strategic value. Treat podcast revenue as one part of a larger business. Sponsorships, live events, distribution deals, brand partnerships, and the opportunities created by the show can matter as much as ads. Start a podcast because it supports a long-term mission or business, not because it seems like quick money. Most podcasts do not generate meaningful profit, but a consistent show can build relationships, authority, and access over time. Notable Quotes "Because it was such a niche space with such a high-value audience, they were closing these seven-figure sponsorship deals." "A podcast in and of itself is not the easiest path... if you want to make more money." "I'm much more curious about what it can do for you in terms of opening doors that allows you to make more money."

In 2011, 74-year-old high school sweethearts Bill and Peggy Stephenson were found murdered inside their Kentucky condo on Memorial Day weekend. Nothing valuable appeared to be missing, but the crime scene was so strange that detectives wondered whether the killer was trying to leave a message. For years, the case pulled investigators in every direction — until one piece of evidence, mailed across the country more than a decade earlier, finally got a hit. If you have any information on the murders of Bill and Peggy Stephenson, please contact the Boone County Sheriff's Office's tip line for this case at 859-334-8496, or you can reach out to us by emailing tips@audiochuck.com.

Our card this week is Ilene Misheloff, the Ace of Hearts from California. Thirteen-year-old Ilene Misheloff normally walked the same path home from school most days. And on January 30, 1989, all signs indicate she took that same route… and ALMOST made it home. But something… or someone intervened. And somehow, with all the traffic and houses that lined her route, no one saw the moment that Ilene Misheloff disappeared. In a case with so many leads and tips, investigators all these years later are left with one physical piece of evidence and a million questions… some of which they're hoping you might be able to answer. Anyone with information on the 1989 disappearance of Ilene Misheloff can call the Dublin Police Services tip line at 925-833-6638.

For six months, the Guthrie family's message was consistent: bring her home. Proof of life. We're ready to talk. Make contact. Every video, every public statement, every reward bump carried the same underlying assumption — that there was someone on the other end of the line holding Nancy Guthrie and willing to deal. On July 27th, Savannah Guthrie dropped that assumption entirely.Her new video doesn't ask for contact. It doesn't demand proof of life. It asks where to look. And in the same breath, she offered something to the person who allegedly abducted her eighty-four-year-old mother that nobody saw coming. This episode dissects the language of Savannah's plea, the explosive week that preceded it — the Crime Junkie ransom revelations, the FBI-versus-Sheriff public war — and the grim ledger of six months of investigative dead ends that may have forced this shift.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
There's a difference between asking someone to return your mother and asking someone to tell you where to find her. Savannah Guthrie crossed that line on July 27th. In a video posted to Instagram and addressed to whoever took Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson home, Savannah used language she's never used before. She offered empathy. She offered something close to forgiveness. And she stopped using the word "home" entirely.This episode examines what Savannah actually said and what it means — line by line. It also explains the timing: within the same week, Crime Junkie read the first ransom note aloud on air for the first time, FBI Director Kash Patel publicly accused the Pima County Sheriff's Department of losing evidence by keeping federal agents out for four days, and the sheriff's office shot back. Two agencies fighting while an eighty-four-year-old woman's family sits in front of a camera begging for a location.END LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Our card this week is Benjamin Rosario, a Wild Card from Connecticut. Most cold case investigators will tell you that murder is a dirty business. But once in a while, there's a murder so horrific that it could be mistaken for an urban legend. The unsolved homicide of Benjamin is one of those cases. It began on a summer evening much like any other for Benjamin. He left his apartment and headed off to his local bar just a few blocks away from home in Bridgeport's East End. No doubt the neighbors expected to see him the next day, as they usually did – singing Spanish love songs on his porch. But that's not how things transpired… Benjamin's story would end with a grim discovery in the middle of a road just a five-minute drive from his apartment. If you know anything about the murder of Benjamin Rosario, you can call the Bridgeport Police Department at 203-576-TIPS.

Our card this week is Terrance "Konomi" Plummer, the Ace of Spades from North Carolina. It was Memorial Day weekend in 2010, and hot as hades in North Carolina, when 22-year-old Terrance “Konomi” Plummer Junior was found murdered in a crime so brutal—and so deliberate—that it stayed with everyone who touched the case—especially Lt. Jeff Locklear. What began as another homicide investigation became the one case he could never shake—his White Whale. More than a decade later, the answer would come from something investigators had possessed all along. And information they never knew existed—finally solving Plummer's murder and giving Locklear something he'd spent years chasing: closure.

In the summer of 1971, 21-year-old Joyce LePage disappears after a skydiving lesson followed by a beer with friends. In the beginning, the only clue is a piece of missing carpet that was cut out from a vacant dorm on the campus of Washington State University where Joyce had been secretly squatting. Her belongings, her car and her body would all be found in different places, and they all point to different suspects.

In August 2005, a woman disappeared just days before she was supposed to testify against her boyfriend, a corrections officer accused of sexually abusing minors. For years, her family says she was treated like a fugitive instead of a missing person. But when we looked deeper, we found a witness who has never spoken publicly before — and a sighting from the night she vanished that could change the way this case has been understood for more than twenty years. If you know anything about the disappearance of Sheryl Rucci, please contact the Niagara County Sheriff's Office at 716-438-3393.

Our card this week is Anita Carlson, the 10 of Spades from Minnesota. In late June 1987, the town of Bemidji, Minnesota, was gearing up for Independence Day weekend. Celebrations quickly turned to panic when Anita Carlson, a college graduate with hopes of working in TV production, went missing from her nighttime job at Pete's Place, a convenience store at the intersection of Highways 2 and 89. By the end of the weekend, Anita had been found dead. Nearly 40 years later, investigators are still trying to figure out what happened that night. Anyone with information about the death of Anita Carlson should call Crime Stoppers of Minnesota: 800-222-8477, or the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension tip line is 1-877-996-6222.

On March 23, 1993, screams tore through the thin walls of a gated Indianapolis apartment complex as 19-year-old Carmen Van Huss fought for her life. Neighbors heard the attack, but no one called 911.

And after more than 30 years, Carmen's family finally saw justice.

Our card this week is Rosa McMillan, the 9 of Hearts from North Carolina. On August 6, 1989, Rosa McMillian was found murdered inside that home. She had been brutally attacked—and sexually assaulted—in her own living room. The crime scene didn't make sense, and a few mysterious items were left behind by whoever killed Rosa. Something else left behind? The killer's DNA. In most cases, that would be enough to close the books. But in Rosa's case…DNA isn't what brought answers. In fact, it's the opposite…and the one thing that would keep a solve out of reach. If you know anything about the murder of Rosa McMillan in Fayetteville, North Carolina, please call the Fayetteville Police Department at 910-433-1529. You can also call Fayetteville Cumberland County Crime Stoppers Tips at 910-483-8477.

When 37-year-old Christine Banfield and 39-year-old Joseph Ryan were found fatally injured inside a Virginia home in 2023, investigators were initially told that Ryan was a violent intruder and that Christine's husband, Brendan Banfield, a federal agent, had tried to save her. But as investigators examined digital evidence, they uncovered a different possibility: that Ryan had been lured to the home through a fake online persona and that the scene had been staged to conceal a double homicide. What happened in the 15 minutes between two 911 calls? And what does the evidence reveal about the story investigators were first told?

Alberta O. Jones was breaking barriers in Louisville, Kentucky. She was the first Black woman prosecutor in the city's history, she helped register some 6,000 Black citizens to vote, and she was a leader in the city's civil rights movement. But on Aug. 5, 1965 – before she could make even more changes in the highly segregated city – Alberta was found dead floating in the Ohio River. The night before, she reluctantly went out late to visit a close friend, setting off a 60-year mystery that has led to more questions than answers. Was Alberta killed in a random robbery? Was she set up by her best friend? Or was she targeted for her dangerous civil rights work? If you have any information about the death of Alberta O. Jones, you can contact the Louisville Metro Police Department's Cold Case Squad at 502-574-7055, or you can email us directly at tips@audiochuck.com.
