On West 97th Street in Cleveland, Ohio, tragedy struck when police discovered 16-month-old Jailyn Candelario unresponsive inside her Pack ‘N Play. First responders tried to save her, but it was too late—Jailyn was pronounced dead at the scene. What officers found inside the home was deeply disturbing, and the condition of both the residence and the toddler immediately raised red flags for investigators. This was no tragic accident.

Warning: The details that follow about Jailyn’s condition are deeply unsettling. Behind every headline and police report is a little girl who deserved love, safety, and care. Jailyn Candelario’s short life ended far too soon, and those who knew her will forever carry the weight of knowing she did not receive the protection she needed.

Voice your thoughts:If you could say one thing to Jailyn today, what would it be?

Neglect and Abandonment: Mother Leaves 16-Month-Old Jailyn Candelario Alone to Die | Cleveland, Ohio

In October 2020, a person from Virginia traveled to a remote cabin in LeFlore County, Oklahoma, to meet Bob Lee Allen and Thomas Evans Gates—two individuals they had connected with online. What happened next turned a private arrangement into a full-blown criminal investigation, raising disturbing questions about consent, legality, and the hidden corners of the internet.

Inside the Oklahoma Cabin Surgery Case: Bob Lee Allen & Thomas Evans Gates

Most commonly known as Heather Turner—was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of the home she shared with her husband. The shower was still running, and she had a gunshot wound to the head.

Heather's death happened at a time when several things in their lives were raising red flags. Allegedly, Heather was planning to leave the relationship with Andy the very next day. But here we are, nearly a decade later, and her case remains in limbo—officially labeled as "undetermined."

In 2019, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation claimed to have handed over their findings to the District Attorney. But the DA’s office says they never received them. Meanwhile, local police say their hands are tied, and Heather’s family continues to be left in the dark.

Adding to the unease are chilling reported threats like, “If I could do this to Heather, what makes you think I couldn’t do this to you?” —allegedly said by Andy to his girlfriend, who came into the picture after Heather's death.

Join us as we break down the red tape and take a closer look at a case that seems deliberately stalled—in a community where some believe turning up the silence on her case will not do any good.

In February 2009, 14-year-old Amber Dubois disappeared while walking to school in Escondido, California. Her family searched tirelessly—without answers. A year later, 17-year-old Chelsea King went missing during her routine run in a nearby park.

Was this a total coincidence that two young girls completely vanished? Or was there a serial killer to blame? In this episode, we piece together the facts behind Amber’s disappearance, the shocking investigation into serial offender John Gardner, and how one mother’s heartbreak became a mission to protect others.

Disappeared: Amber Dubois and Chelsea King

When Irish father Jason Corbett relocated to North Carolina with his two children, it was meant to be a fresh chapter after the tragic loss of his first wife, Mags. He eventually married Molly Martens, an American woman hired to help care for his young children. But nearly a decade later, Jason’s life would end violently inside their North Carolina home—sparking an international investigation and a courtroom battle that has left many questions unanswered.

In this episode, we look deeper into the years leading up to Jason’s death through the eyes of his daughter Sarah, now an adult, and his sister Tracey Corbett Lynch, who has long fought for answers. Tracey remembers troubling signs during the couple’s wedding visit to America, including Molly’s alleged behavior and inconsistencies in her personal story. Meanwhile, Sarah later came forward with unsettling memories from childhood—claims that challenge the public image of a loving stepmother and raise questions about control and manipulation inside the home.

From conflicting narratives to transatlantic legal twists, we break down the facts, examine the claims, and explore why many still feel justice remains out of reach for Jason Corbett and his children.

Please note: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence, mental health, and graphic content related to a violent murder. Listener discretion is advised.
