When 10 year old Breasia Terrell went missing from Davenport in July 2020, it began a full-scale manhunt from investigators, family, friends and even strangers to try to find the young girl. As we near 7 months since that day, we go back to the beginning of what we know, the efforts from police, and question the whereabouts of the suspect named in this case. This case is still very active, so let's hope we can help bring Breasia home to her family.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John Robinson part 3: The Internet's First Serial Killer

In part 2 of this 3-part series, we pick up around the time John Robinson leaves prison in 1993. Over the next 7 years John would work his schemes under a number of different aliases, luring women locally and nationally into his web of lies and sex. Some would be able to walk away unscathed, others would never be seen or heard from again. We break down how he was able to trap these women in the early years of the World Wide Web, and how some tech-savvy users were able to help police finally catch him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John Robinson Part 1: From money to murder

52 year old Jerry Wolking was a family man nearing retirement in October 1990. Days before his disappearance, his family states he was acting unusual and jumpy. His girlfriend at the time would be the last to see him alive. Moline Police say once he arrived home, he was attacked and taken, never to be seen alive again. Clues have popped up over the last 30 years, but no one knows where Jerry is. This week's episode breaks down the days leading up to his disappearance, the timeline Police have established in the years since, and who they believe is behind the crime but why no charges can be filed.

Jerry Wolking: The vanished Moline family man

Frances Murphy, Lillian Oetting, and Mildrid Linquist, were three friends who just wanted a simple weekend getaway to Starved Rock State Park in Oglesby, Illinois. On March 14, 1960 on a simple mile-long hike through the snow and slush of winter, all three would be brutally beaten to death with a thick branch laying near by. It would be months of investigative work (all without the use of today's technology) to capture the suspected killer. He's spent 60 years behind bars, but in early 2020 will be released. Today's episode we talk about how Chester Weger was finally caught. Why some have said on their deaths beds say he may not have been the killer after all. Plus, the push from the victim's families still to this day... six decades since the crime was committed.

Starved Rock State Park Murders

In the summer of 2017, Peggy Schroeder arrived home to have her younger daughter, 15 year old Anna, waiting for her in the family's living room. Under the assumption that Anna had a surprise, Peggy had a towel placed over her head. In an instance, Peggy would be dead, as Anna would shoot her in the face. This case would truly shock a small Illinois Community with roughly 5,000 people. The details that would follow, would be chilling. But the question, even after all these years, is why did this happen. This week we recap this entire case, and the twist that came in early 2020 that shocked even the host.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
