The Unsolved: Jesse Garcia
This month’s unsolved murder case comes to us out of Texas, from the so-called Golden Age of crime: the 1970’s. There isn’t a lot of information available online regarding this case, but let’s do what we can to keep Jesse’s name in the light. Was the murder a result of a confrontation at a nearby …
The Extraterrestrial: Palos Verdes Brains
Okay, everyone. We’re finally back (a bit late, sorry!) with an alien post - and you had better buckle up, because this is a weird one. There aren’t many (if any) credible sources for this one, but it’s just so bizarre that I had to cover it. So. What were the blue, brain-shaped entities sighted …

Creepy Cryptids: Thunderbirds
This month’s cryptid is going a bit off of our established path - rather than a creepy monster-thing a few people witnessed, this creature is prominently featured across Native American mythology - from Alaska, to Pennsylvania, to Texas, to Washington.

This month’s Doe case is the only unidentified victim of serial killer Dean Corll. Where did this young person come from, and how did he end up ensnared in the web of a serial killer known as the Candy Man? Let’s explore. Dean Corll I am not going to get too into the weeds with …
The Haunted: Sunnyvale Toys R Us
This month’s haunting brings us back to the golden state to explore our first (and quite possibly only) retail-space-based haunting. Toys R Us may not have physical locations anymore, this building will forever be known as the Sunnyvale Toys R Us. Why? Well, because the ghosts liked the toys, apparently. Let’s explore. The Origin There …
The Unsolved: Jenny Low Chang
This month’s unsolved murder case has all the markings of a case that gathers a large following. A young woman in college was murdered, found in a place where she wasn’t meant to be. The case has long gone cold, and the biggest theories often lead to big-name serial killers that were active in the …
Identified: Sumter County Does
So, you’re all getting another bonus post this month - I’d planned to take a short break after the Bundy series but something came up. There has been big news in the true crime community, and you all probably have heard about it by now: Sumter County Jane and Jock Doe have their names back. …
