In April of 1988, an Indiana girl was abducted off the streets of her neighborhood while walking alone after hanging out with friends. After her body was found, the investigation into her murder intensified, but hundreds of suspects surfacing in the case. With the killer taunting the police and public via a scribbled message on a nearby barn about the murder, and threatening letters left for other girls in the area, detectives created a task force to hunt this monster down. And one day, a crucial movement in the investigation uncovered the person responsible. This is the story of April Tinsley.

In the early months of 2023, six women turned up dead in and around Portland, Oregon, sparking rumors of a serial killer. Though police originally claimed they did not believe that the cases were connected, similarities emerged between four of the women, and one man linked them all. To the dismay of the public, not only did this suspect have multiple other crimes under his belt, but he had been granted early release from prison for fighting forest fires on the west coast. These are the stories of Kristin Smith, Charity Perry, Bridget Webster, Joanna Speaks, Ashley Real, and an unidentified Native woman. It’s also the story of Jesse Lee Calhoun. Sources: 1.

Deanne Hastings // 377
In November of 2015, a 35-year-old woman left her Spokane, Washington home late one night to run an errand, leaving a note behind for her fiancé. When she never returned, her fiancé went looking for her, and discovered her locked car abandoned near a music venue with her purse and phone inside. When sightings of her acting strangely poured in from another side of town, suspicions of a mental health crisis were raised, until theories emerged about the two men who were last seen accompanying her, as well as her fiancé himself. This is the story of Deanne Hastings. Sources: 1. KHQ: https://www.khq.com/man-arrested-for-using-missing-womans-credit-cards/video_b50a8238-78ac-11eb-8c01-7f5d1fffc556.html 2.

Kadie Major // 375
In January of 2008, a 26-year-old pregnant woman and her young daughter were found dead along a railroad track in South Carolina, leading investigators to believe that she had purposefully taken their lives. But with the only other resident of their home showing incredibly suspicious behavior by changing their story, having gaps in their timeline, and having an extensive and new injury to their hand, the family started their fight for justice. This is the story of Kadie Major, and her daughter, River Lynn Major.

Cajairah Fraise // 374
In February of 2023, a 22-year-old pregnant woman headed to a California drive-thru with her parents late one night, weeks before her due date. When they arrived, she asked to step out of the car to get some air, and was never seen again. With no hospital records recording the birth of her child, police and her family can only fear the worst. But what really happened to her? This is the story of Cajairah Fraise.
