On June 19, 2026, in Philadelphia, PA, a park ranger notices a black BMW parked in a restricted area near Independence Mall. Hearing a woman inside the car say, "you're going to hurt me",  the Park Ranger decides to check things out. The driver is identified as Eugene Horsch. The female passenger produced identification bearing the name of Blair Tonzelli. Tonzelli had been reported missing in February 2023 BUT she had not been heard or seen since August 2022. The photo on the ID was the passenger's photo, NOT Tonzelli. Investigators determine the ID is fake. The woman tells investigators that Eugene Horsch gave her the ID. The woman tells investigators she needed the ID because she had outstanding warrants. This is how the "Philly House of Horrors" case began.

Janice Randle was 30 and the mother of two girls when she was murdered at home in her bed in Graham, Washington. Her 18-month-old daughter, Kourtney, slept in a crib next to her mother's bed and was unharmed. Janice and her estranged husband, James Randle,  were separated and headed for divorce at the time of her death. James Randle told investigators Janice may have died from a drug overdose, citing a past history of painkiller use, but autopsy results revealed there were no drugs in her system. Investigators had little evidence to go on and the case went cold for decades. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack look at the case from a time before the murder took place and examine how the daughters of Janice Randle revived the case with investigators, leading to an arrest nearly 34 years after the murder!

Sandra Birchmore was a 23-year-old teacher's aide and instructional assistant who was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts, home in February 2021. Sandra was known to many officers of the Stoughton Police department due to her involvement with an Explorer program as a teen.

It was a hot summer day on July 24, 1996, when 7-year-old Morgan Violi went outside to play with a friend at the Shive Lane apartment complex where she lived with her mom and two sisters in Bowling Green, Kentucky. A man driving an older-model, maroon Chevrolet van pulled up alongside the girls, jumped out and tried to grab the girl Morgan was playing with but was unsuccessful, so, he snatched Morgan, threw her into the van and sped away. The van was stolen out of Dayton, Ohio, and was recovered two days later in Franklin, Tennessee, 30 miles south of Nashville. The van was scrubbed clean.  The search for Morgan lasted until October 26, 1996, when her skeletal remains were found in the woods off I-65 in White House, Tennessee, 30 miles north of Nashville.  A suspect was never located, and the case went cold for nearly 30 years. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the cold case kidnapping and murder of 7-year-old Morgan Violi and the forensic evidence that solved her case and led to a confession by the killer.

The Elmira Police Department named Alfred Raymond Murray Jr. as the lone suspect in the 1964 murder of 12-year-old Mary Simpson.

The case remained unsolved for 62 years, but it was never forgotten. After getting a grant from the Season of Justice in 2022, Elmira police, with the assistance of the FBI, reopened the case using modern forensic methods.

In 2023, the Elmira Police Department partnered with the Criminal Investigation Resource Center at Russell Sage College, and the case was organized and digitized, allowing for a review of evidence and forensics.

Forensic evidence from the case was sent to Othram's laboratory in the Woodlands, Texas, where scientists were able to build a comprehensive DNA profile of the unknown suspect.

The profile was used by the FBI's forensic genetic genealogy team, and working together with the Elmira Police Department, investigators found the suspect, Alfred Raymond Murray Jr.

Murray died on March 16, 2004, at the age of 73, almost 40 years to the day. Mary Simpson vanished on  March 15, 1964. She was 12.

The King County Medical Examiner's Office ruled Kurt Cobain's death on April 5, 1994, was the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. In the last 30 plus years many theories of what "really" happened have appeared in books and documentaries but now comes a team of independent forensic scientists who are calling for a fresh investigation into the death of the 27-year-old. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss the investigation into the death of Kurt Cobain, was it self-inflicted as originally thought, or did someone get away with murder.

Mary Theresa Simpson, 12, vanished when she was walking home from a relative's home in March 1964, in Elmira, New York. 

Her beaten and abused body was found four days later, in a wooded area in Southport. 

Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack go back in time to discover what happened to Mary Simpson and why police could not find a suspect to arrest, and charge with the rape and murder of a little girl.

They also discuss how, after 60 years, the case was broken wide open due to great police work in 1964. Coupled with exceptional science work by Othram, a suspect has been named after 60 years of questions.
