MURDERED: Robin Benedict

Between 2005 and 2008, eight women are killed in and around the small town of Jennings, Louisiana. Rumors of a serial killer on the loose are met with apathy by local law enforcement, possibly due to the corruption that’s broken the trust between the public and the forces meant to protect them. Over a decade later, the question still remains: who killed the Jeff Davis 8?

 • If you have any information about the deaths of Loretta Chaisson, Ernestine Patterson, Kristen Gary Lopez, Whitnei Dubois, Crystal Shay Benoit Zeno, Laconia “Muggy” Brown, Brittney Gary, or Necole Guillory, please contact the Jefferson Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office at 337-275-8188, or contact them online at

MURDERED: Marcus Rutledge

In 2021, we set out to cover the case of Rhys Pocan, a 35-year-old indigenous woman who was murdered in Wisconsin in the ‘80s. But while we were in the field, we uncovered a disturbing pattern of murders with similarities to Rhys’ that were just too blatant to ignore. So, we spent the next three years working with local and federal law enforcement to try and get to the bottom of it.

In Part 1, when Rhys Pocan, a young mother of four, goes missing one summer night in Milwaukee, it sends shockwaves through her community. When her dismembered remains are found on a public hunting ground less than a month later, everyone hopes they might finally get some answers. But investigators struggle to unravel the case … and things don’t heat up until we step in.

 • If you have any information about the murder of Rhys Pocan, please contact Det. Nathan Hatch at the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Office at 920-459-3135, or email him at 
nathan.hatch@sheboygancounty.com • . You can also reach out to us at 
crimejunkie@audiochuck.com • .
 • Charlee Pocan Russ has started a GoFundMe to raise money to help solve her mother’s murder. If you would like to donate or learn more, please visit
