Alyssa Romine Olson
This week, Mike and Morf examine the baffling death of Alyssa Romine Olson, a deeply religious Arizona woman whose body was discovered in a shallow pond at Gilbert's Riparian Preserve in June 2016. Despite an extensive investigation, authorities have never determined whether Alyssa's death was the result of murder, suicide, or a tragic accident. Ten years later, the case remains one of the most perplexing unsolved mysteries in Arizona. You can help support the show through Patreon. We'd love to connect with listeners on social media.

Sammy Wheeler
In June 1992, 35-year-old Samuel "Sammy" Wheeler was found murdered inside his Isuzu Trooper in Virginia's George Washington National Forest. His SUV had been riddled with bullets, wiped clean of fingerprints, and someone had unsuccessfully tried to burn it to destroy evidence. The investigation quickly focused on a bitter custody dispute involving Sammy, his fiancée, her estranged husband, and even Sammy's identical twin brother. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the murder of Sammy Wheeler. For years, accusations flew between those closest to him before investigators discovered the shocking truth: none of the prime suspects was responsible. The killer was a complete stranger, and Sammy had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. You can help support the show through Patreon. We'd love to connect with listeners on social media.

Join Mike and Morf as they examine the highly publicized case of Mackenzie Shirilla, the Ohio teenager convicted of intentionally causing a high-speed crash that killed her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and their friend, Davion Flanagan, in July 2022.

Tina Marcotte and Tom Kueter
In June 1994, two closely connected deaths occurred in Rapid City, South Dakota. The disappearance of Tina Marcotte and the mysterious death of Tom Kueter fueled decades of speculation before advances in DNA evidence finally led investigators to officially close the case. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the disappearance of Tina Marcotte and the death of Tom Kueter. Tina disappeared after getting a ride after work when she found one of her tires had been slashed. She told a friend it was someone she used to work with named Tom. Investigators are sure they know what happened in these cases but there are still some unanswered questions.

Janice Christensen
In 1987, Janice Christensen, a 31-year-old Ohio woman, went on a routine morning run that ended in one of Hudson, Ohio's most haunting cold cases. Her husband reported her missing after she failed to come home, and then went searching for her. He was the one who ultimately found her body. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Janice Christensen. Advances in DNA technology and genetic genealogy ultimately identified her killer as Thomas Collier Jordan. Investigators connected him to other violent crimes while ruling him out in several infamous Northeast Ohio murders. You can help support the show through Patreon.

The Romeoville Murders
In September 2023, authorities in Romeoville, Illinois, discovered one of the most disturbing family murders in recent memory. Inside a home on Concord Avenue, investigators found 32-year-old Zoraida Bartolomei, her partner Alberto Rolon, their sons Adriel and Diego, and the family's three dogs shot to death. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Romeoville Murders. The police investigation uncovered an affair between Zoraida and co-worker Nathaniel Huey Jr. Nathaniel initially cooperated with investigators but refused searches of his phone and vehicle, making detectives increasingly suspicious. What the police discovered next shocked everyone and was more bizarre than any movie script. You can help support the show through Patreon. We'd love to connect with listeners on social media.

Was this the work of a serial killer or random acts of violence?

Tricia Lynn Reitler
In 1993, 19-year-old college freshman Tricia Lynn Reitler, an Indiana Wesleyan University freshman, vanished while walking back to her dorm after a quick trip to a supermarket. More than three decades later, investigators believe they know who was responsible, but Tricia's body has never been found, and no one has been charged in her case. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the disappearance of Tricia Lynn Reitler. The case eventually became linked to suspected serial killer Larry DeWayne Hall, who repeatedly confessed to and then recanted involvement in numerous murders. Authorities found disturbing notes, maps, and items connected to several missing women, including Tricia. You can help support the show through Patreon.
