    MANHUNT: Christopher Wilder - The Beauty Queen Killer
    May 12 2026
    In 1984, Christopher Wilder turned the American highway system into a hunting ground, embarking on a nationwide cross-country crime spree that left a trail of victims in his wake. But his story started long before that, on a different continent. Could this prolific American predator also be the man responsible for the notorious 1965 Wanda Beach murders in Australia?

    The Storyville Slayer of New Orleans
    Apr 14 2026
    As New Orleans spiraled into its most violent era, a predator stalked the shadows of a defunct red-light district. With a survivor's haunting testimony and a high-ranking officer under the microscope, the search for justice is incomplete as a killer remains free.

    Where is Ja’Niyah McMichael?
    Apr 7 2026
    In August 2024, 13-year-old Ja'Niyah McMichael was reported missing from her home in Gary, Indiana, but as investigators dug deeper, chilling discrepancies emerged. Is her mother telling the truth? Now, with the FBI involved and a $30,000 reward on the table, the investigation has shifted toward suspected foul play, as her father asks us for help.

    Ja'Niyah McMichael's father has been in contact with me for months. He's trying to get some funding together for his continued efforts (including getting to NamUs for DNA testing). Please consider contributing at his official GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/e972ad71a
