MURDERED: Helen Sebastian
In February 1983, 52-year-old Helen Sebastian puts a roast in the oven and walks out the door, and that’s the last time anyone in her family ever sees her. Until just a month later, her body parts start appearing across Racine, Wisconsin… Over the years, detectives chase one lead after another – leading them to men who knew Helen, whispers of cult activity during the height of the Satanic Panic, and a strange coincidence or maybe even a solid connection that Ashley can’t stop spiraling on. Listen now and let us know your thoughts on the unsolved 1983 murder of Helen Sebastian.

MURDERED: Joan Webster & Marie Iannuzzi
In 1981, a Harvard graduate student vanished after stepping out of Logan Airport the night after Thanksgiving. As investigators searched for answers, they focused on a suspect connected to another murder – a woman who was killed just two years earlier. He was convicted in one case and widely believed responsible for the other. But after reviewing thousands of pages of records, we found gaps that raise difficult questions: Was the wrong man blamed? And is the real killer still out there?
MURDERED: Rachel Hansen
On June 2, 2022, Rachel Hansen opened her eyes to a dark figure standing over her bed, staring at her. She screamed, and the person took off.
