"This guy is not to be found" - Trevor Deely
Dec 08, 2025Send us a text
In the dead of a stormy December night, 22-year-old IT worker Trevor Deely vanished from a rain-soaked walk home after a company Christmas party — last seen on CCTV, umbrella in hand, forever lost in Dublin’s empty streets. Despite decades of police investigations, enhanced video footage, searches of canals and secluded areas, and a €100,000 reward, not a single clue has definitively explained what happened to him. Was he the victim of a stranger ambush by the mysterious “man in black” seen on camera — or did he meet with a tragic accident in a canal nobody...

Three men. Eight officers. One dead rugby player — and a town that still refuses to face the truth.

From the halls of Norman’s city government to the quiet corners of Stillwater, this episode unpacks the psychology of power, pride, and corruption through the lens of the Dark Triad — narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.

Joe Pal - Episode 9 - The Fisher King
Oct 28, 2025Send us a text
Three men watched Joe Pal die on the cold pavement of Norman, Oklahoma. Eight officers stood by. None of them appear to have told the full truth.
In The Fisher King — part one of The Last Clue’s explosive two-part season finale — we expose facts about who these three men are, what they were protecting, and how a supposed “carjacking” became a homicide swept under the rug.
Secrets. Silence. And a truth too dangerous to ignore.

On the rainy morning of April 18, 2016, fitness instructor Terri “Missy” Bevers arrived at the Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas, to lead her 5 a.m. “gladiator boot camp.” Minutes after pulling into the parking lot around 4:18 a.m., the 45-year-old mother of three was murdered inside the church by an unknown assailant dressed in full police tactical gear.

She was instead convicted on the lesser charge of drunk driving and sentenced to one year of probation. The sentence aligned with the...
