LEAVING SOON... LISTEN NOW.
If you can never get enough true crime... Congratulations, you’ve found your people.

For decades, police said Rowena Wilkinson Zapalac died via suicide by masturbation. But her family always believed there was more to Rowena’s death than met the eye. Could she have been the victim of a serial killer passing through Texas, or could her case be connected to the deaths of two other women in the area?
If you have any information about the deaths of Rowena Wilkinson Zapalac or Melody Ann Bush, please contact the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office at (979) 968-5856 or email us at tips@audiochuck.com.

INFAMOUS: The Murder of Amber Spradlin

In 1980, the tiny town of San Miguel, California, was shaken when two kindergarten girls vanished in broad daylight from a main street. Despite a long list of local child predators and bizarre clues, the trail went cold in a matter of years. But now, nearly 5 decades later, the very detective who solved the Kristin Smart case has come out of retirement to take another look, and he’s closer than ever before to a solve.
Terry’s family is currently trying to raise $10,000 for a billboard on Highway 101 and $25,000 to create a reward for information.  If you’d like to  help her out with that we’ve included the link here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/justice-for-mezo-flores-murder-case
