In this episode, we revisit one of the most disturbing unsolved cases in American true crime—the mysterious disappearance and death of Dorothy Scott.

This episode presents an in-depth reconstruction of the 1980 case of Dorothy Scott, offering a more detailed analysis than previous tellings. The focus is placed on the series of harassing phone calls Dorothy received from an unidentified stalker in the months leading up to her disappearance—calls that would continue for years after she vanished.

Dorothy disappeared from a hospital parking lot in Anaheim, California, under circumstances that remain deeply unsettling. What followed was a haunting campaign of taunting phone calls made to her parents, prolonging their grief and raising chilling questions about the perpetrator’s proximity and motives.

We examine the full timeline of events, explore key theories and suspects—including a former partner and an obsessed acquaintance—and analyze the most disturbing detail of all: a wristwatch found with Dorothy’s remains, stopped at a specific moment in time.

By carefully deconstructing the chronology, this episode seeks to better understand who was responsible, how they evaded justice, and why this case continues to haunt investigators decades later.

Some stories refuse to stay buried. Dorothy Scott’s case remains unsolved—but the search for answers continues. Thank you for listening, and join us next time as we examine another case that time has not erased.

Some crimes are so hidden, so disturbingly close to home, that they defy belief. This is the story of a man who vanished—and was never truly gone.

In this episode, we examine the shocking case of Omar bin Omran, an Algerian man who was discovered alive in 2024 after being missing for nearly three decades. Abducted at just eighteen years old during the chaos of the Algerian Civil War, Omar was held captive in a neighbor’s cellar—less than 200 meters from his family home—while the world believed he was lost forever.

We explore how psychological control played a central role in his captivity. According to investigators, cultural superstitions and fears surrounding black magic may have been deliberately used to paralyze Omar emotionally, preventing him from attempting escape or calling for help, even when voices from the outside were within reach.

The episode also reveals that this was not an isolated crime. Omar’s captor is believed to have been part of a larger criminal network, raising disturbing questions about how many people knew—and remained silent—while the victim lived in captivity for decades.

Omar bin Omran’s case stands as a haunting reminder that some of the most horrific crimes are not hidden in remote places, but unfold quietly in plain sight. As Omar begins a long and uncertain recovery, this story forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about community blindness, psychological manipulation, and how easily evil can go unnoticed for generations.

Some criminals hide in the shadows. Others hide in plain sight—behind wedding rings, vows, and carefully crafted lies. Jill Coit was one of the latter, earning the chilling nickname “the serial bride.”

This episode explores the surreal and disturbing criminal biography of Jill Coit, a woman who married at least ten times—often maintaining multiple husbands simultaneously—by exploiting loopholes in marriage and divorce laws across several U.S. states. Long before her crimes turned violent, Coit perfected the art of deception through bigamy, emotional manipulation, and financial fraud.

The narrative reveals how she targeted affluent men, fabricated pregnancies, and extracted child support, gifts, and inheritance money under false pretenses. Her schemes escalated over decades, blurring the line between con artistry and calculated exploitation.

The story takes a darker turn when investigators begin connecting Coit to the suspicious deaths of two husbands: her third, William Coit, and later her eighth, Gerald Boggs. While earlier cases remained clouded by doubt, the murder of Boggs ultimately exposed a pattern too severe to ignore—leading to Coit’s conviction and life sentence.

Jill Coit’s story is not just one of crime, but of unchecked manipulation, systemic loopholes, and ambition devoid of empathy. This episode examines how a life built on lies eventually collapsed into violence—and how trust, when weaponized, can become one of the most dangerous tools of all.
