  Constantine: The Murder of Lavern Chupp 02.09.2026 27мин

  Lavern "Vern" Chupp was a well-known figure in St Joseph County, Michigan, where his Old Order Amish family had deep roots, and his skill at construction and carpentry meant he'd worked with just about everyone in the various townships surrounding his home. A devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Lavern was a popular man--but like anyone else, he had difficult business dealings and personal conflict. He lived alone, and his family sometimes worried that he was on his own; however, they never expected that he'd face violence at the hands of an unknown attacker.  Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

  Opelika: The Murder of Sylvia Lou Dowdell 12.08.2026 36мин

  In 1998, a 38-year-old mother of seven, Sylvia Lou Dowdell, was murdered in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her body was left under a bridge, and her family in her hometown of Opelika waited to hear word of an arrest in her case.

  Elma, Washington: The Grays Harbor Jane Doe 29.07.2026 54мин

  In October of 1988, the remains of a homicide victim were found in a rural area of Grays Harbor County, just outside Elma, Washington. A dedicated detective worked her case for years—first in his role with the sheriff's office, and then as coroner. Even now, in his retirement, he's followed the case. Despite thousands of hours of investigation, her identity remained elusive; but then, in 2018, forensic investigative genetic genealogy became a possibility, and The DNA Doe Project took on the case of the Grays Harbor Jane Doe. But her case has proved incredibly difficult, and genealogists and investigators need your help to reconnect her to her identity, and solve her murder.  Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

  In today's episode, we continue the story of Calvin Willie Martinez.  Mothers Day 2019 was the last time Calvin Willie Martinez's family heard from him. After suffering an immense loss in 2014, Calvin had struggled with depression and alcohol dependence.  But he always stayed in contact with his loved ones—so when he called them from a truck stop in Albuquerque, NM, and promised he was heading home, they believed him. But Calvin never arrived.  Ever since, his sister Becky Martinez has been advocating for her brother. And as she discovered in late 2023, that persistence was vital: otherwise, his case would have remained erroneously closed.  Shopify: You don't need anyone's approval to make a living.

  Karma: The Disappearance of Anastasia Ferriera, Part 2 03.06.2026 32мин

  For the family of Anastasia Ferriera, the search has been defined by obstacles: a detective they waited six months to meet, and tips that arrived too late or led nowhere. Her mother, Natalie, and grandmother Brenda have largely driven the investigation themselves, canvassing the International District, funding billboards and radio ads, and connecting with advocacy group Aunties for Justice.  In this conclusion, we follow the leads that emerged after Anastasia's disappearance, including a search warrant executed at a southeast Albuquerque address, a missing persons flyer recovered from a stolen vehicle in Oklahoma, and a woman who appeared at God's Warehouse claiming to be Anastasia. Her case is now cold, the original detective has retired, and her family is still waiting for someone to come forward. Elevate your summer wardrobe.

  The Brutal Murder of Emil "Andrew" Martens 13.05.2026 55мин

  This week we're sharing an episode from our friend Kristen Seavey, who creates and hosts Murder, She Told. Kristen is a credentialed victim's advocate and one of the best cold case researchers working in the field. In 1963, Emil Martens, a Danish immigrant living in a one-room cabin in the woods of Aroostook County, Maine, was murdered. The case went cold. At some point, the Maine State Police told his family the files had been lost. His name does not appear on any unsolved case list in the state. Kristen tracked down records that had never been released publicly and worked directly with Emil's surviving family to tell this story. Emil's family needs support and media coverage. Please share this episode widely. Learn more about Murder, She Told: https://www.murdershetold.com/

  A Conspiracy of Silence: The Murder of Darren Gray, Part 2 22.04.2026 37мин

  Roycinda Alexander thought that justice would come swiftly for her son, Darren Gray, who was murdered in public, in a city park, during his own child's birthday party—but she soon discovered that the neighborhood she'd raised her family in began to feel like a land of strangers.  On May 8th, 2010, 24-year-old Darren Gray attended his child's birthday party at a Norfolk-area public park; during the celebration, he was attacked by a group of men and endured a brutal beating that ended in his murder. Close to 13 years later, his mother and siblings have more questions than answers, and though some suspects were identified—and eventually, convicted—of Darren's beating, his murderers remain at large. If you have information in the unsolved murder of Darren Gray, you can submit an anonymous tip by calling 1-888-LOCK-U-UP (1-888-562-5887). We are sharing our two-part series on Darren's case again in hopes of attracting more tips that could finally solve his murder.
