Behind every senseless act… is a victim who deserved better.


Their voices matter. Their stories deserve to be told.

From missing persons cases to exclusive interviews with the families of crime victims, combined with archival audio footage, investigative research, an analysis & breakdown of police interrogations and courtroom footage.

  • S9:E5: The Senseless Murder of Kada Scott (23) "Fatal Trap"

    S9:E5: The Senseless Murder of Kada Scott (23) "Fatal Trap"
    Feb 22 2026

    Philadelphia, PA—In this episode, we trace the heartbreaking timeline that led up to the disappearance and murder of 23-year-old Kada Scott, who stepped away from her shift at a Chestnut Hill care facility and vanished into the night– from her disappearance that made national headlines, to the tragic discovery behind an abandoned middle school two weeks later.

    We will dive into the systemic failures that allowed a known predator with a violent history to remain free.

    We also explore how a flurry of text messages lured a promising young woman into a fatal trap.

    Kada Scott's story is a painful reminder that the systems designed to protect us often fail the most vulnerable. But while her life was taken by a senseless act of violence, her voice will never be silenced.

    Senseless True Crime stands with the Scott family in their fight for "Kada’s Law"- which is a call to action for legislative reform- that prioritizes victims over violent offenders.

    Listen to Season 9: Episode 5 to find out the heartbreaking details of this case.

    Rest in Peace - Kada Scott 🕯️🙏🕊️

  • S9:E4: The Senseless Murder of Ashley Elkins (30) “Justice for Ashley"

    S9:E4: The Senseless Murder of Ashley Elkins (30) “Justice for Ashley"
    Feb 9 2026

    Warren, Michigan—30-year-old hairstylist and mother of two, Ashley Elkins, vanished in late December 2024. Her family reported her missing after she failed to arrive for work on New Year’s Eve, which was highly unusual behavior for her. At the time of her disappearance, Ashley had been moving on after a difficult relationship with her ex-boyfriend—32-year-old Deandre Booker.

    Investigators soon focused on Booker after evidence emerged linking him to her disappearance. Authorities reported finding a “substantial” amount of blood in the bathroom of his apartment, which was later confirmed to be Ashley’s DNA through forensic testing. This discovery, along with other evidence, led prosecutors to charge Booker with first-degree murder and related offenses, even though Ashley’s body has not yet been recovered.

    The tragic nature of this case has attracted national public attention. The ongoing search for Ashley and the emotional burden on her family continues to be central in this, as they press for justice and closure.

    Listen to Season 9: Episode 4: To find out the disturbing details of this case.

    Our hearts go out to The Family of Ashley Elkins. 🕊️🙏

  • S9:E3: The Senseless Murder of Sade Robinson (19) "Sade's Voice"

    S9:E3: The Senseless Murder of Sade Robinson (19) "Sade's Voice"
    Feb 1 2026

    Milwaukee, Wisconsin— Sade Robinson was a 19-year-old college student who trusted someone she met online—an ordinary decision millions of people make every day. What followed was anything but ordinary.

    Her life was stolen in a senseless act of violence that left a family shattered and a community searching for answers.

    This episode confronts the devastating reality behind Sade’s untimely murder — and the unanswered question so many are left with: How did a simple first date turn deadly?

    This story is a sobering reminder that not everyone online is who they claim to be. While most connections are harmless, predators exploit trust, familiarity, and vulnerability, and in the end the cost can be deadly.

    Listen to Season 9: Episode 3 to find out how this horrific tragedy unfolds.

    Rest in Peace -Sade Robinson and our deepest condolences go out to her family, friends, and Milwaukee community. 🙏🕊️
