Red Flags & Body Bags is the true crime podcast where charming turns chilling--- fast. We break down the crimes, the cover-ups, and the red flags that were waving long before the first body hit the floor. From "nice guy" partners to high-profile lies and hidden motives, we expose the darkness hiding in plain sight. Hosted by a true crime-obsessed couple with just enough sarcasm and side-eye to survive the horror. Because sometimes... the biggest red flag is holding your hand.
- 143 - Missing Monday: Antoinette Forbes
Antoinette Forbes, a 53-year-old mother from Washington, D.C., has been missing since September 2026 — and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance have left her family desperate for answers.
Antoinette was last seen in person on September 4, 2026, near her home in Northwest Washington, D.C. The following morning, September 5, she FaceTimed her sister and appeared completely normal.
Then she stopped responding.
When a friend went to Antoinette’s home, her car was still there. Her keys, wallet, purse and phones were inside. Her dog was also left behind.
But Antoinette was gone.
As investigators searched her home, attention also turned to Antoinette’s documented history with her former partner and the father of her 10-year-old son, Russell Ashford. Court records show Ashford previously pleaded guilty to as***lting Antoinette in 2021. Less than two months before she disappeared, Antoinette appeared in court and spoke about the lasting injuries and fear she experienced.
Ashford was later arrested in Pennsylvania on matters unrelated to Antoinette’s disappearance and subsequently faced separate f*rearm charges. Police have NOT publicly named Russell Ashford as a suspect or person of interest in Antoinette Forbes’ disappearance.
In this Missing Monday deep dive, we walk through the complete timeline of Antoinette Forbes’ disappearance, her final known communications, what was found at her home, the previous court case, the ongoing investigation and the questions that remain unanswered.
If you were in or around Wesley Heights, Tenleytown, Spring Valley, Friendship Heights, American University or the 3200 block of Nebraska Avenue NW during September 4–7, 2026, Antoinette’s family has asked residents to review Ring cameras, security footage and dashcams.
Anyone with information about Antoinette Forbes should contact the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099 or text 50411.
Please share Antoinette’s name and face. Someone may know something.

- 141 - What Happened To Sean Daugherty?
In April 2022, Sean Daugherty was found d**d at his home in Yorktown, Virginia. His d**th was ruled a s****** (self unaliving), but his family has continued to question whether the circumstances surrounding his d**th and the investigation fully explain what happened.
In this full 7-part deep dive, we walk through Sean’s case piece by piece, including:
Sean’s final known timeline
The 3:27 PM to 4:50 PM window
How Sean was found
What his 2-year-old brother reportedly said afterward
What Sean’s family says they noticed inside the home
Questions surrounding physical evidence and forensic testing
The reported handprint on the back door
Surveillance footage and cameras in the neighborhood
Why Sean’s family continues to ask for an independent review
We have covered Sean’s case multiple times and have also had the opportunity to speak with Sean’s mother. She chose not to be recorded or appear on camera, and we respect her privacy.
Throughout this video, we carefully separate documented information, statements publicly shared by Sean’s family and their private investigator, and the conclusions reached by law enforcement.
His family continues to question that ruling and is asking for another look at the case.
We are not here to create suspects or present theories as facts.
We are here to ask the same question Sean’s family has been asking for years:

- 138 - TRUTH COMES OUT TUESDAY: Caleb Eyde: The Tattoo, the Red Flags & 217,331 Files on His Phone
21-year-old Independence, Missouri substitute teacher Caleb Eyde is facing federal charges—but the arrest is only part of this story.
In this Truth Comes Out Tuesday deep dive, Red Flags & Body Bags goes back before the federal case.
More than two years before his arrest, Eyde posted publicly about getting a tattoo containing the initials of children he knew through an A+ mentoring program. He wrote about seeing the children every day, thinking about them “night and day,” and said the experience helped lead him toward becoming a teacher.
But after RFBB covered that tattoo, people who say they knew, worked with, or encountered Eyde began speaking up.
In this investigation, we examine:
• Eyde’s 2024 tattoo post and what he said it represented
• His path from the A+ program toward teaching
• His reported work as an Independence School District substitute
• Viewer accounts involving Kids’ Safari and before/after-school programs
• Firsthand claims from people who say aspects of his behavior concerned them before his arrest
• An unverified allegation that concerns were previously reported to district leadership
• The cyber tips involving Discord that led investigators to Eyde
• The June 30, 2026 search of his home
• The 217,331 image files investigators reportedly located on his phone
• The nearly eight-week period between the search and the public federal case
• What the Independence School District told families
• And the questions that still have not been answered
If you worked with Caleb Eyde, had a child in a school or program where he worked, or have documentation related to this timeline, contact Red Flags & Body Bags privately. Please do not identify children in the comments.
And I want to hear from you:
What part of Caleb Eyde’s pre-arrest timeline deserves the most scrutiny?
If this investigation raises questions you think other parents or community members should see, **like the video, share it, and subscribe**. Truth Comes Out Tuesday goes beyond the arrest to ask what happened before the headline.

37-year-old Sean Michael Cunningham disappeared from Carters Lake in Georgia on July 28, 2026, during a severe storm. His last known communication came at approximately 11:26 p.m., when he called a friend and said he was sheltering underneath a dock because strong winds were making it difficult to paddle his canoe. His phone was running out of battery. He was never heard from again.
Sean’s backpack was later recovered by kayakers, and his truck was located near the lake. According to reporting, his backpack was found near the dam and contained identification that helped authorities connect it to Sean. Investigators then began trying to retrace his movements.
But one major piece remains missing: Sean’s green Old Town canoe.
Multiple agencies searched Carters Lake and the surrounding shoreline using boats, drones, sonar and K-9 teams. Sean’s family also traveled to Georgia to assist investigators in retracing his final known movements.
A fisherman later discovered a hat that Sean’s family believes may have belonged to him, although authorities have not publicly confirmed that connection.
In this episode of Missing Mondays, we break down Sean Cunningham’s disappearance chronologically—from the severe weather that struck Carters Lake to his final 11:26 p.m. phone call, the discovery of his belongings and the unanswered questions that remain.
If you were near Carters Lake, Woodring Campground or Ellijay, Georgia, on or around July 28, 2026, or saw a green Old Town canoe, please contact investigators.

In this episode of our Victim’s Voices series, we share the story of Lindsie Grass whose mother, Darlene Grass' life was taken by hom*cide.
She opens up about who her mother was, the bond they shared, and the devastating impact her loss has had on her life. This is more than a story about a hom*cide case—it is a daughter’s story of love, grief, memory, and the lifelong pain of losing someone so important to violence.
Through her own words, she gives her mother a voice beyond the headlines and reminds us that every victim was deeply loved, had a life, and left behind people whose lives were changed forever.
She also shares how she has turned her grief into purpose through Focused Halos, a nonprofit photography organization that helps preserve meaningful memories while providing support and services to victims and families.

She was a mother seeking spiritual enlightenment in a remote Colorado mountain town… then she vanished after disclosing a horrific a******.
In this Missing Monday episode, we break down the unsolved disappearance of Kristal Anne Reisinger from Crestone, Colorado in July 2016 — and the major red flags that still haunt this case nearly 10 years later.
Kristal left behind her phone, purse, laptop, and medication in her locked apartment with no signs of struggle. Days earlier she had told multiple people she had been drugged and raped. Her daily calls to her young daughter suddenly stopped. Some locals claimed they saw her at a full moon drum circle after she was last confirmed seen… but investigators believe foul play was involved.
In 2018 authorities officially treated her case as a homicide investigation. Then in August 2025, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation conducted a targeted K-9 search with human remains detection dogs in a specific location believed connected to the case.
This is the story of a vibrant mother, tarot reader, and spiritual seeker whose life was cut short — and why her case still needs answers.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Kristal Reisinger, please contact the tip line: 720-741-7410 (anonymous tips accepted).
Case Details:
- Last confirmed seen: July 13, 2016 in Crestone, Colorado
- Age: 29 | Mother of one (Kasha)
- 2018: Foul play suspected
- 2025: New K-9 search conductedSupport the family & help keep pressure on this case by sharing this video.

In this shocking case from San Bernardino County, a sheriff's deputy entered Jesus Serna and Vanessa Gonzalez's fenced backyard on May 4, 2026 without a warrant, consent, or emergency — then f*tally sh*t their family dog Daisy. New surveillance footage released at the June 9, 2026 press conference shows the horrifying aftermath: Daisy left to bl**d out for over 20 minutes while deputies searched for the shell c*sing, callous comments, and the body being taken and cremated without permission.
The family’s two young boys are traumatized, and their surviving dog Raven was briefly impounded. Attorney Tim Scott is demanding transparency and accountability for this clear 4th Amendment violation.
Was this justified over a stolen car that wasn’t even on their property? Or is this another example of police overreach caught on camera?
Justice for Daisy? Drop your thoughts below.

https://sites.google.com/view/red-fla...Mon, 25 May 2026 - 21min - 100 - Elli Perkins: When Scientology Refused Schizophrenia Treatment
Minds in the Mirror Ep 3: Faith Over Medicine – When Scientology Refused Schizophrenia Treatment
In this powerful episode of Minds in the Mirror: Mental Health & Murder, we examine one of the most heartbreaking cases where religious ideology clashed with medical reality.
On March 13, 2003, Elli Perkins — a talented glass artist and devoted Scientologist — was brutally murdered by her 28-year-old son Jeremy. He st*bbed her 77 times in their family kitchen. Jeremy suffered from severe, untreated paranoid schizophrenia. For years he had been hearing voices and experiencing dangerous delusions, but his mother refused psychiatric care and antipsychotic medication because of Scientology’s longstanding opposition to psychiatry.
Instead, Elli turned to the church’s “vitamin protocols,” natural healers, and spiritual auditing — believing she was protecting her son. What followed was a devastating tragedy that could have been prevented.
We dive deep into:
Jeremy’s years of escalating symptoms and missed red flagsThe 2001 arrest and court-ordered diagnosis that was ignoredHow Scientology’s doctrine shaped the family’s decisionsThe brutal details of the attack and Jeremy’s confessionThe heartbreaking irony: medication later stabilized Jeremy after years of institutional careThis episode explores the dangerous intersection of faith, untreated mental illness, and the refusal of evidence-based treatment — and what we can learn today about recognizing red flags when ideology overrides medicine.

Thu, 21 May 2026 - 18min - 99 - Josh Davis: Garner North Carolina Cold Case
On January 6, 2004, 16-year-old Josh Davis was brutally killed while walking in his own neighborhood in Vandora Village, Garner, North Carolina. For 22 years his family waited for answers.
Now, in this powerful and emotional episode, Josh’s sister Alyssa Hatcher joins us for her most in-depth interview to date. She shares memories of her big brother, the devastating impact of his murder on their family, and her thoughts on the recent bombshell developments involving a decorated local police detective.
In 2026, Megan Bess Potter — a Four Oaks Police Department detective who attended Garner High with Josh and even signed his funeral guest book — was named a person of interest. Search warrants were executed, her devices were seized, and the case is once again active.
Alyssa talks openly about learning these shocking details, her hope that those responsible will come forward, and what real closure would mean after more than two decades.
Content Warning: This episode discusses the murder of a child and contains emotional family testimony. Listener discretion is advised.
No charges have been filed. The investigation by Garner PD and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation remains active.

Mon, 18 May 2026 - 30min - 98 - Slender Man Made Me Do It
On May 31, 2014, in the woods of David's Park in Waukesha, Wisconsin, two twelve-year-old girls did the unthinkable. They lured their best friend, twelve-year-old Payton Leutner, into the trees under the pretense of playing hide-and-seek… then stabbed her 19 times with a kitchen knife. Their motive? To become “proxies” for Slender Man — a fictional internet horror character they discovered through creepypasta.
What started as an innocent sleepover spiraled into one of the most chilling true crime cases of the 21st century. In this episode of Red Flags and Body Bags, we unpack the full story: the months of secret planning, the girls’ terrifying obsession with the online myth, the brutal attack, the disturbing interrogation tapes, the psychological red flags that were missed, the trials, and the long-term impact on everyone involved.
We also examine the bigger questions this case still raises more than a decade later — how powerful online fiction can be on young, vulnerable minds and where the line between internet lore and real-world violence gets blurred.
If you love deep-dive true crime with a focus on the warning signs, this one is for you.

From unexplained disappearances…

these cases are some of the strangest and most unsettling stories to come out of Michigan.
Some are solved.
Some still raise questions.

Minds in the Mirror Ep 1: The Harvard Experiment That Created a Bomber – Ted Kaczynski
Episode Description:
Minds in the Mirror: Mental Health & Murder – Episode 1
In the premiere episode of our new Wednesday series, we examine one of the most chilling cases where a psychology experiment gone wrong may have helped shatter a brilliant mind.
Ted Kaczynski — the Unabomber — was a math prodigy with an IQ of 167–170 who entered Harvard at just 16. From 1959 to 1962, he was secretly subjected to a brutal three-year psychological “stress study” run by Dr. Henry A. Murray. Students were strapped to electrodes, blasted with bright lights, and subjected to hours of intense, personally abusive attacks designed to break down their egos.
We break down:
The secret Harvard experiment and its ties to Cold War-era mind-control researchHow this experience appears to have accelerated Ted’s developing paranoia and anti-technology delusionsHis sudden withdrawal from society — quitting a tenure-track position at UC Berkeley and disappearing into a remote Montana cabin with no electricity or running waterThe 17-year bombing campaign that killed 3 people and injured 23 othersThe 35,000-word manifesto that led his own brother to turn him inCourt-appointed psychiatrist Dr. Sally C. Johnson’s official diagnosis of paranoid schizophreniaWe’re very clear: nothing excuses or justifies the horrific violence Ted committed. At the same time, the psychological abuse he endured as a vulnerable teenager was also deeply wrong.
This episode explores the dangerous intersection of untreated mental illness, missed red flags, and the long-term impact of unethical psychology experiments — and what we can learn today about spotting isolation, paranoia, and ideological extremism before it turns deadly.

Mon, 04 May 2026 - 25min - 92 - Denim Day: The Jeans Alibi that Sparked a Global Movement
This Denim Day special is live with Dana and Chloe on Red Flags and Body Bags.
What started as one 18-year-old girl’s r*pe case in Italy in 1992 became a worldwide symbol of resistance when the Supreme Court overturned her attacker’s conviction — because she was wearing tight jeans. The court literally ruled that “it is nearly impossible to slip off tight jeans without the active collaboration of the person wearing them.”
Twenty-six years later in Cork, Ireland, a defense barrister held up a 17-year-old r*pe victim’s lace th*ng in open court and told the jury: “You have to look at the way she was dressed. She was wearing a th*ng with a lace front.”
Both cases used clothing as “evidence” of consent — and both sparked massive protests that gave birth to Denim Day.
In this powerful live episode we break down:
The full stories behind the “jeans alibi” and the “thong trial”How victim-blaming still happens in courtrooms todayThe red flags every listener needs to recognizeWhy wearing denim on the last Wednesday of April is more than just a trendWe also share practical ways to spot and push back against clothing-based victim-blaming, plus resources for survivors.

Ashley Stewart was a devoted mom of six, positivity advocate, and birthing-community supporter living her new life in Oswego, Illinois. On January 27, 2026, her ex-husband Ryan Dodd allegedly chased her into her own garage and stabb*d her to d*ath— while her current husband Adam watched the entire ambush unfold live on their home security cameras.

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 - 26min - 88 - Makayla Settles
Makayla Rene Settles was an 18-year-old from Raleigh, North Carolina, chasing her California dream. Just two days after moving in with her biological father in Moorpark, she was allegedly violently r*ped by him. She did everything right — fled, called for help, got a r*pe kit, and gave statements. His DNA was found inside her.
Five months later, the trauma became too much. Makayla d*ed by su*c*de in December 2025.
Now her family is fighting to make sure her voice is still heard in court.
This video covers the full timeline: the move to California, the alleged ass*ult on July 21, 2025, the arrest of Stephen Vincent Chavez, the devastating aftermath, the family’s viral campaign, the hearsay and r*pe shield issues, and the latest court update from April 21, 2026.
April 21, 2026 Hearing Update:
The early disposition conference was held in Ventura County Superior Court (Case #2025018307). The case is STILL ACTIVE and has NOT been dropped. Next court date: May 19, 2026 at 8:15 a.m. for the Preliminary Examination.
The Ventura County DA says they are continuing to prosecute and seeking prison time, but the family was told some of Makayla’s statements may not be usable because she can no longer testify.

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 - 22min - 85 - Julissa Thaler: The Traffic Stop That Changed Everything
⚠️ Heavy Content Warning: This episode contains graphic details about the mu*der of a child, bodycam footage descriptions, severe neglect, mental health crises, and child protective services failures. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
In May 2022, 6-year-old Eli Hart was found sh*t to d*ath in the trunk of his mother’s car after a routine traffic stop in Minnesota. Officers pulled her over for driving on a bare metal rim with a smashed rear window and blood everywhere. Her calm explanation? “It’s deer meat… I had some ravioli and veggies… and the blood is from removing a tampon.”
In this powerful, beat-by-beat episode, Chloe and Dana walk through the actual bodycam footage moment-by-moment (just like we did with the Joshua Boucher case), uncover years of ignored red flags, and examine the devastating custody battle that ended with Dakota County returning Eli to his mother’s full custody just ten days before he was killed.
We go deep into the relational dynamics, the foster family who fought to protect him, the system’s dangerous “reunification at all costs” bias, and what this case means for every parent, teacher, and mandated reporter.
Eli was a sweet, loving little boy who finally had stability — until the warnings were ignored.

Dawn Adkins: The 911 Call That Exposed Her Husband’s Lies
A Navy veteran, mental health nurse practitioner, and devoted mom was sh*t by the man she was trying to leave — and the entire attack was captured on a 911 call that never stopped recording.
On the morning after Easter 2024 in the tiny village of Chesterville, Ohio, Dawn Adkins barricaded herself inside her home with a friend. What happened next was recorded in real time: the breaking in, the threats, the g*nsh*t, and the frantic moments that followed. Even after fleeing the scene, her husband Joshua Boucher looked into a police camera and claimed he had “nothing to do with it.”
In this powerful survivor-centered episode, Dana and Chloe walk through the full timeline using the actual 911 audio and bodycam footage, break down the hidden red flags that were missed for years, and examine the psychology of betrayal in intimate partner violence. You’ll hear Dawn’s own words from her victim impact statement as she faced the man who tried to end her life — now paralyzed from the neck down but still fighting.
This is a story about courage, the danger of separation, and one phone call that refused to stay silent.

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 - 07min - 80 - Savanah Soto: The Unfinished Nursery
18-year-old Savanah Soto was nine months pregnant with her first baby, Fabian, when she and boyfriend Matthew Guerra vanished the night before her scheduled induction. Three days later their bodies were found inside a gray Kia Optima in a San Antonio apartment parking lot — both executed at close range. Their unborn son died with them.
In this episode, Dana and Chloe unpack the heartbreaking true crime case of Savanah Soto, Matthew Guerra, and baby Fabian. From the couple’s turbulent three-year relationship — including a documented brutal Christmas Day 2022 assault caught on Ring camera, a restraining order Matthew violated, and Savanah’s own petition to have it removed while pregnant — to the red flags everyone around them saw but couldn’t stop.
We break down the minute-by-minute timeline backed by surveillance footage, GPS data, and cell-phone evidence that led straight to 19-year-old Christopher Preciado. You’ll hear the latest from his ongoing capital murder trial in Bexar County (as of March 2026), the defense’s self-defense claim, and the devastating family impact after Savanah had already lost her younger brother Ethan to gun violence just 19 months earlier.
This isn’t just another recap. We go deep into the psychology of trauma bonding, why so many women return to their abusers, the power imbalance of the four-year age gap, and how grief and pregnancy can trap survivors in dangerous cycles. Plus real prevention insights every listener needs to hear.

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 - 06min - 76 - Ashley Okland: Open House Cold Case
On a sunny Friday afternoon in 2011, 27-year-old realtor Ashley Okland was shot twice inside a model townhome during an open house in West Des Moines, Iowa. No robbery. No major clues left behind. Just gone—in broad daylight, in a place that was supposed to feel safe. For fifteen years her family lived in agonizing limbo while detectives chased thousands of leads that went nowhere. Then, on March 17, 2026, an arrest finally came.
In this episode, we sit with the red flags the real estate industry ignored for too long, the betrayal when danger comes from inside the professional circle you trust, and the quiet strength of a family that refused to let hope die. Ashley’s story isn’t just about a murder that stayed cold—it’s about what happens when everyday routines become deadly, and how one woman’s light still shines through an inclusive playground built in her name years later.VISIT OUR WEBSITE AND OUR MERCH STORE: https://sites.google.com/view/red-flags-and-body-bags/home?read_current=1
Thu, 19 Mar 2026 - 46min - 75 - Kouri Richins: Poison and a Grief Book
In this episode of Red Flags and Body Bags, we take a deep dive into the shocking case of Kouri Richins — the Utah mother and real estate investor accused of poisoning her husband, Eric Richins.
After Eric’s sudden death in March 2022, Kouri appeared to be a grieving widow. She even wrote and promoted a children’s book about coping with loss. But as investigators began digging deeper, the story surrounding Eric’s death became far more complicated.
Prosecutors allege that Eric Richins was poisoned with a lethal dose of fentanyl inside the family’s home. As the investigation unfolded, authorities uncovered alleged financial motives, suspicious purchases, and a series of events that raised serious questions about what really happened that night.
Now, years later, the case has reached trial.
In this episode, we break down:
• The timeline leading up to Eric Richins’ death
• The children’s book that drew national attention
• The financial and legal issues surrounding the couple
• Key evidence prosecutors say links Kouri to the crime
• And where the case stands todayWith a trial now underway, the final outcome is still unknown — but the story continues to unfold

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 - 1h 13min - 71 - Brendan and Christine Banfield: The Au Pair Affair Murders
On the morning of February 24, 2023, a man walked into a quiet Virginia home believing he was meeting someone for a consensual encounter.
Instead, he walked into a carefully constructed trap.
In this episode of Red Flags & Body Bags, Dana and Chloe unravel the disturbing story behind the murders of Christine Banfield and Joseph Ryan — and the former federal investigator convicted of orchestrating it all, Brendan Banfield.
Prosecutors say Banfield used a fake online identity, a fetish website, and his own live-in au pair — Juliana Peres Magalhães — to lure Ryan to the family home, stage a violent scene, and make it look like a random intruder attack.
But investigators quickly realized something didn’t add up.
With no forced entry, weeks of digital communication, firearms training, and forensic evidence pointing away from self-defense, what initially appeared to be a tragic home invasion began to look like something far darker: a premeditated plot to eliminate a wife and frame a stranger.
This is a story about manipulation, power imbalance, digital deception — and how someone trained to investigate crimes allegedly tried to design the perfect one.
Listener discretion advised.
If you or someone you love is experiencing coercion, control, or abuse, help is available. You deserve safety.

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 - 53min - 69 - Where is Nancy Guthrie?
In this episode, we break down the ongoing disappearance of Nancy Guthrie — an 84-year-old Arizona mother whose sudden absence has sparked a massive criminal investigation involving local law enforcement and the FBI.
Nancy was reported missing after she didn’t show up for her church group meeting — something completely out of character. What began as a welfare check quickly escalated when her home was declared a crime scene, blood was found at the residence, her cellphone was recovered by investigators, and surveillance footage revealed an unidentified person outside her home in the early morning hours.
Tonight, we walk through the full timeline — from Nancy’s life and background to the last known normal moments, the searches, and where the case stands now.
We also take time to humanize Nancy beyond the headlines, sharing her story as a mother, grandmother, widow, and longtime Arizona resident who spent decades building a life centered on family, faith, and community.
In this episode, we cover:
• Nancy Guthrie’s life, career, and family history
• The events leading up to her disappearance
• How the investigation shifted from search and rescue to a criminal case
• FBI involvement and forensic efforts
• The Silver Alert, reward announcement, and ransom note developments
• Updates involving Bitcoin demands
• What law enforcement has confirmed — and what remains unverified
• Online speculation vs documented facts
• The emotional impact on Nancy’s family as they continue to plead for answers
This is a developing case. Our goal is to share information responsibly, separate rumor from fact, and keep the focus where it belongs — on bringing Nancy home.
If you have information related to this case, please contact local law enforcement or the FBI tip line.
Justice for Nancy.

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 - 17min - 68 - The Brock Murders: The Case Against Sarah Grace Patrick
In February 2025, Kristin Brock and her husband James Brock were found shot to death in their home. There were no signs of forced entry. Nothing appeared to be stolen. And the only people inside the house were their children.
At the center of the investigation is 17-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick — Kristin’s daughter — who later turned herself in and was charged as an adult with two counts of murder.
In this episode, we walk through the full timeline leading up to the Brock murders, including years of documented family conflict, court records, social media activity, and the digital evidence investigators say ties Sarah to the crime. We also examine what happened inside the home that night, the behavior that raised red flags afterward, and the legal battle still unfolding as Sarah awaits trial.
With a case this complex — involving grief, family fractures, and the internet’s influence — one question remains: what really happened inside the Brock home?

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 - 15min - 61 - Haley Mae Coblentz: The Girl in the Duffle Bag
In December 2020, a black duffle bag was discovered in the woods near a highway rest area in Lincoln County, Oregon. Inside were the remains of a child--unidentified, unseen, and unknown.
For nearly a year, investigators searched for her name.
When advanced DNA genealogy finally identified her as 9-year-old Haley Mae Coblentz, the case took an even darker turn: Haley had never been reported missing. She wasn't enrolled in school. She wasn't in the system. And no one had raised the alarm when she disappeared.
No one has been convicted in Haley's death. Her case remains open.
This episode is not just about what happened to Haley--it's about how children fall through the cracks, how systems fail to notice they're gone, and why visibility can be the difference between life and death.
If you have information related to the Haley Mae Coblentz case, please contact Oregon State Police.

In Part 2 of The Mica Miller Case File, we step back from the day of Mica Miller's death and examine the relationship dynamics leading up to it. This episode focuses on marriage, separation, control, and influence.
Using documented records, on-the-record statements, and established frameworks around coercive control, we explore:
-The structure of Mica and JP Miller's relationship
-How authority, dependency, and influence can function inside marriages
-What power dynamics look like during separation and divorce
-Why control doesn't always appear as physical violence

On January 27, 2020, 11-year-old Gannon Stauch vanished from his home in Colorado Springs. What began as a frantic search for a "runaway" child quickly spiraled into one of the most chilling cases of betrayal and cold-blooded manipulation in true crime history.
In this two-hour deep dive, we strip away the lies of Letecia Stauch—a woman who spent weeks gaslighting a grieving family, the media, and investigators while hiding a gruesome secret. From the suspicious neighbor’s surveillance footage to the heartbreaking discovery under a bridge in the Florida Panhandle, we examine every piece of evidence that brought a monster to justice.
In this episode, we cover:
• The "Runaway" Narrative: How Letecia tried to control the story from hour one.
• The Digital Breadcrumbs: The incriminating search history that proved premeditation.
• The "Maria" Defense: A breakdown of Letecia’s claims of Dissociative Identity Disorder and the psychiatric battle in the courtroom.
• Forensic Truth: The harrowing details of the blood evidence in the Stauch home and the final autopsy report.
This isn't just a story about a crime; it’s a tribute to "G-Man" and a study of the ultimate red flag: the predator living under your own roof.

The Disappearance of Matthew Spencer | Red Flags & Body Bags
29-year-old Matthew Spencer was on a cross-country drive from California to start a new life in Houston, Texas. He had just spent several days with his sister in Las Vegas… and everything about his trip was normal. Until it wasn’t.
On August 6th, Matthew’s messages suddenly stopped making sense. He told his family he was “driving through Cloudcroft, New Mexico,” yet his Google location showed him still in Northern Arizona. Hours later, Google revealed chilling searches: “my car won’t turn over,” “my car clicks,” and “where am I?”Then—silence.
Both Matthew and his silver 2006 Hyundai Tucson vanished somewhere along the remote stretch of I-40 between Flagstaff, Parks, Bellemont, and Williams. Despite ground searches, drones, and thousands of eyes on the case, there has never been a confirmed sighting. No vehicle. No calls. No evidence of where he went next.
In this episode, we break down Matthew’s final hours, his digital trail, the conflicting clues, and the leading theories in one of the most baffling disappearances of 2025. His family is still searching—and someone out there may hold the missing piece.

Invisible for a Year: The Jacqueline “Mimi” Torres-García Case
When eleven-year-old Jacqueline “Mimi” Torres-García vanished from New Britain, Connecticut, no one realized she’d been missing for nearly a year. Her mother claimed she was being homeschooled. The truth was much darker.
In this emotional and deeply researched episode, Red Flags & Body Bags unpacks the shocking case that’s now sparking national outrage and a push for Mimi’s Law — legislation to protect homeschooled children and close child-welfare loopholes.
We’ll walk through the timeline of Mimi’s disappearance, the investigation that uncovered her tragic death, and how the same red flags appeared in cases like Harmony Montgomery, Adrian Jones, and Gabriel Fernandez. This is the story of a child who became invisible — and the movement demanding that never happen again.

The disappearance and discovery of Jacqueline “Mimi” Torres-García
DCF oversight failures & the homeschooling loophole
Arrests of Karla Garcia, Jonatan Nanita, and Jackelyn Garcia
Public outcry and the proposed Mimi’s Law

When 37-year-old Robin Lawrence was found brutally murdered in her Virginia home, her baby daughter was still alive — waiting in silence beside a horror no one could explain. No robbery, no motive, no suspect. For nearly 30 years, her killer lived an ordinary life: marriage, kids, a desk job.
Until one morning, he called police and said, “I want to talk. Right now.”This episode unravels the story of the “random” killer who waited three decades to confess — and the DNA that refused to stay silent.

Jax Gratton: The Unanswered Story
34-year-old Jax Gratton was a beloved Denver hairstylist, advocate, and proud trans woman who built a community around love, color, and compassion. In April 2025, she vanished after leaving her apartment with a man she knew. Fifty-two days later, her body was found wedged between two buildings off West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado — beneath the window of the same apartment where she was last seen alive.
The autopsy ruled her cause and manner of death undetermined. Her family, friends, and supporters are still searching for answers — and justice.
In this episode, we trace Jax’s story: her childhood in Idaho, her vibrant life in Denver, the night she disappeared, and the red flags that followed. We also examine how systemic failures and bias can silence victims — and how her community continues to fight to make sure her story is never forgotten.

April 18, 2016--Midlothian Texas.
A beloved fitness instructor unlocks the church before sunrise to set up for her bootcamp class. Minutes later, she's ambushed and murdered. The only witness? A grainy surveillance camera capturing a figure in tactical gear moving through the halls like a ghost.
