Suicide or Murder? The Mysterious Death of Jennifer Fairgate
4w ago00:33:05Tap to summarizeInside room 2805 of one of Norway’s most luxurious hotels, a woman is found dead on the bed with a gunshot wound to the head… and a 9mm pistol still clutched in her hand. At first glance, it looks like a suicide. But investigators quickly realize almost everything about this woman is fake. The name she checked in under? False. The address she provided? Doesn’t exist. There’s no passport. No wallet. No toiletries. Even the labels had been cut from her clothes. And nearly 30 years later… no one knows who she really was. Did she actually commit suicide?

Who Took Jennifer Kesse?
Apr 3000:31:26Tap to summarizeOn the morning of January 24th, 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse was supposed to be at work. Jennifer was known as reliable, responsible, and close with her family. So when she didn’t show up to the office that morning, and no one could reach her, the people in her life immediately knew something was wrong. Her parents drove two hours to her Orlando condo that same day. Inside, everything looked normal. It appeared Jennifer had gotten up, showered, and prepared for work just like she always did. But Jennifer was gone. Two days later, police found her car abandoned at another apartment complex about a mile away. Security cameras captured a single chilling clue: someone parking Jennifer’s car and calmly walking away. But in a bizarre twist, every time the person passed the camera, their face was hidden behind a fence post. Nearly two decades later, that unidentified figure remains one of the only known clues in her disappearance. Today, we’re taking a closer look at what happened to Jennifer Kesse… and the mystery of the person who may have been the last to see her.

The Disappearance of Leah Roberts: The Road Trip That Never Ended
Apr 2300:37:42Tap to summarizeIn March of 2000, a 23-year-old college student named Leah Roberts packed her belongings into her Jeep and left North Carolina behind. She had no set destination. No clear plan. Just a map, a sense of adventure, and a deep fascination with the writings of Jack Kerouac. But two weeks later, Leah’s Jeep was discovered at the bottom of a remote embankment in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. The vehicle had clearly been crashed. The windshield was shattered. Personal belongings were scattered around the scene. And Leah Roberts was nowhere to be found. Investigators would soon discover strange clues surrounding the crash—details that raised more questions than answers. Was it an accident? Did Leah wander off into the wilderness? Or did someone else find her first? More than two decades later, no one knows what truly happened to Leah Roberts. If you have any information regarding this case, please contact the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office in Washington State or your local law enforcement agency.

The Disappearance of Brian Shaffer
Apr 1600:27:32Tap to summarize#38 - Imagine walking into a crowded bar with your friends late at night… surrounded by hundreds of people, music blasting, drinks flowing, and security cameras everywhere. Now imagine walking back toward the entrance just minutes before closing time. And then… somehow disappearing without a trace. That’s exactly what happened to 27-year-old Brian Shaffer. On March 31st, 2006, Brian, a medical student at Ohio State University, went out for a night of drinks with friends in Columbus, Ohio to celebrate the start of spring break. Surveillance cameras captured him entering a popular campus bar called the Ugly Tuna Saloona. But those same cameras never captured him leaving. His friends eventually walked out. Every other patron that night was accounted for. Everyone… except Brian. Nearly two decades later, investigators still don’t know how a man could seemingly vanish from a crowded bar in the middle of a busy college district. Did Brian leave the bar undetected somehow? Did he run away from his life?Or did something far more sinister happen that night? Today, we’re looking at the mysterious disappearance of Brian Shaffer and the question that still remains unanswered. What happened to him… and who might know the truth?

Karina Holmer
Apr 900:32:14Tap to summarizeSometimes the most disturbing cases begin with a simple night out. A young woman goes dancing with friends. She laughs, drinks, maybe stays out a little too late. And then… she disappears. But what happened next in this case would shock an entire city. In June of 1996, a man searching through a dumpster in Boston made a horrifying discovery: inside a trash bag was the upper half of a woman’s body. Her killer had strangled her, cut her in half, and discarded her like garbage. The rest of her body was never found. That victim was 20-year-old Karina Holmer, a young woman from Sweden who had come to the United States only months earlier to work as an au pair and experience life in a new country. She had dreams of travel, independence, and adventure. Instead, her story ended in one of Boston’s most brutal and baffling unsolved murders. Karina was last seen in the early morning hours of June 22nd, 1996, leaving a nightclub in downtown Boston after a night out with friends. What happened after that moment remains a mystery. Nearly three decades later, investigators still don’t know who killed her. Someone out there knows exactly what happened to Karina Holmer. And today, we’re going to try to find them.
