The word “ROC” written in blood shocked investigators and the public alike. But in Part Two of The Murder of Karen Pannell, the truth emerges not from what was written on the wall — but from what the evidence refused to ignore.

In this episode, Dark Dialogue follows the case into the courtroom, where forensic science, timelines, and witness testimony dismantled the idea of a dying declaration and exposed a carefully staged crime scene. Prosecutors laid out a case built on bloodstain pattern analysis, medical testimony, DNA evidence, cell-tower data, and a collapsing alibi — while the defense fought to injec...

In October 2003, 39-year-old airline professional Karen Pannell was found stabbed to death inside her Oldsmar, Florida villa. Near her body, written in blood on the kitchen wall, was a single word: “ROC.”

At first, investigators believed they were looking at a dying message — a final act of identification left by a woman who knew she was dying. Karen’s ex-boyfriend, whose nickname was Roc, became the immediate focus.

But the evidence didn’t hold.

In this first episode of a two-part investigation, Dark Dialogue examines how a crime scene that seemed to explain itself slo...

Christmas is supposed to be a refuge—a pause from the chaos, a promise of peace.
But for many families, Christmas doesn’t calm the storm. It traps it.

In this Dark Dialogue Distilled Christmas Special, John examines some of the most disturbing cases of domestic violence and family annihilation to occur on or around Christmas—not as isolated tragedies, but as part of a repeating and deeply uncomfortable pattern.

From the 1929 Lawson family murders in North Carolina, to the unresolved mystery of the Sodder children, to the Carnation family massacre, the Covina Christmas Eve Sa...

Sometimes you need a break from the heavy stuff — and that’s where Shadow Chat Sessions comes in.

In this episode, John and Angela dive headfirst into a chaotic mix of strange headlines, conspiracy nonsense, Reddit rabbit holes, dumb criminal behavior, and truly weird shit that absolutely does not matter… but is way too entertaining to ignore.

You’ll hear the unbelievable true story of a babysitter who checked under a child’s bed for monsters and found a real man hiding there, why some people are convinced King Charles is secretly a vampire, and the deeply...

Dark Dialogue: Unraveled Truths returns with a deep, unscripted examination of Making a Murderer, starting at the beginning.

In this episode, John and Angela break down Episodes 1–3, not to recap them—but to interrogate them. We examine how narrative framing, selective editing, and strategic omissions shape public opinion long before juries ever hear the evidence. From Steven Avery’s exoneration to the early construction of conspiracy, this episode explores what the documentary emphasizes, what it minimizes, and what it leaves out entirely.

This is not a verdict.
This is not a defense.
It’s an exa...

On the second day of a siege, the gunfire matters less than the waiting.

Day Two of the Battle of Lincoln (July 16, 1878) does not erupt—it calcifies.
The town seals itself shut. Civilians barricade behind adobe walls. Gunmen hold positions they cannot abandon. And law enforcement, unable to compel surrender, begins looking upward for force it cannot legally command.

In this episode of Gallows & Gunfights, we examine Day Two of the Lincoln siege not as a shootout, but as a stress test applied to authority itself.

Inside the McSween house, Billy the Ki...

On Thanksgiving 2018, Colorado mother Kelsey Berreth vanished without a trace.
Her fiancé, Patrick Frazee, was later convicted of beating her to death and burning her remains.
But this Distilled episode isn’t just about the murder — it’s about the woman who helped him cover it up.

This is the story of Krystal Lee Kenney.
A rodeo queen.
A nurse.
A mother.
And the only witness who knew every step of Frazee’s plan.

In this episode, we break down:

In May 1993, three eight-year-old boys were found murdered in a drainage ditch in West Memphis, Arkansas. What followed became one of the most controversial criminal cases in American history — driven by fear, moral panic, and a justice system desperate for answers.

This is not a traditional deep dive.

In the debut episode of Dark Dialogue: Unraveled Truths, John McColl sits down with Angela for an unfiltered, unscripted conversation about the West Memphis Three — a case so embedded in true crime culture that even decades later, it still ignites anger, disbelief, and unanswered questions. No polished time...

By the time the Chicago Ripper Crew finally stood before a judge, the worst of their crimes were already over — but justice was only beginning its long, uneven struggle.

In this final episode of Dark Dialogue’s Chicago Ripper Crew series, we step inside the courtrooms, parole hearings, execution chambers, and political backrooms that determined how four men responsible for some of the most sadistic crimes in Illinois history would ultimately be punished — or spared.

This episode examines what happened after the arrests:
• Who received life sentences
• Who was executed
• Who had a death sent...

When the sun rose over Lincoln on July 15, 1878, the town wasn’t waking up — it was bracing for war.

Billy the Kid, Doc Scurlock, Tom O’Folliard, Jim French, and nearly sixty Regulators fortified the McSween home and Tunstall store, carving rifle portholes into adobe walls as they prepared for the inevitable clash with Sheriff George Peppin, The House, and their hired guns.

Across the street, Peppin and James Dolan transformed the Wortley Hotel and Murphy-Dolan store into military strongholds. Reinforcements thundered in from the west — the Jesse Evans Gang, John Kinney’s fighters, the Seven Rive...

Episode 3: “The Breaking Point — Arrests & Confessions”

When Chicago police arrested Robin Gecht on October 20, 1982, they didn’t yet realize they were dismantling one of the most sadistic cults in American history.
From Beverly Washington’s miraculous survival to the chain of interrogations, confessions, and forensic discoveries that followed, this episode chronicles the pivotal week when the façade of normalcy collapsed — revealing the full depravity of the Chicago Ripper Crew.

Over the next twelve days, detectives arrested Edward Spreitzer, Andrew Kokoraleis, and Thomas Kokoraleis, unraveling a ritual network that turned murder into ceremony. Through firsthand sta...

In the final chapter of the Lisa Marie Kimmell series, Rocky Mountain Reckoning returns to the courtroom, the desert, and the decades-long legal maze that followed Dale Wayne Eaton’s conviction.
“Echoes of the Forgotten” traces the unraveling of Wyoming’s only active death penalty case — from Eaton’s initial death sentence to the 2014 federal ruling that overturned it, the failed attempts to seek capital resentencing, and the final 2022 judgment that ensured he will die behind bars.

We break down:

Chicago wasn’t just terrified—
it was being hunted.

In Part 2 of our Chicago Ripper Crew series, Dark Dialogue descends into the darkest chapter of the investigation: the rituals, methods, mutilations, and psychology behind a murder cult that operated in broad daylight and believed every killing was an act of worship.

Through rare survivor accounts, forensic reconstruction, and psychological analysis, this episode exposes the cold, structured system behind the Crew’s violence:

The rituals of mutilation and why the left breast became the Crew’s signature

The hierarchy i...

Chicago, 1981.
A city drowning in crime, corruption, recession — and something darker lurking beneath the surface.

High in the Colorado mountains, the quiet town of Guffey hid a nightmare no one saw coming.
In the winter of 2001, three members of the Dutcher family were brutally murdered — not by strangers, but by teenagers under the control of an unlikely ringleader: 19-year-old Simon Sue, a self-styled commander who built his own secret “organization” and convinced classmates to kill in his name.

Thirty-four-year-old Brett W. Smith was found brutally murdered and decapitated inside his own home at Evergreen Mobile Home Park. His killer wasn’t a stranger or a drifter. It was the man who lived just across the fence — William D. Perry, a neighbor whose rage and instability turned deadly.

Power didn’t die with the gunfights in Lincoln County—it just learned how to legislate.

In this installment of Gallows and Gunfights, we peel back the curtain on the Santa Fe Ring, the shadow government that turned the New Mexico Territory into its personal empire.

Host John McColl and Angela trace how Thomas Benton Catron, Governor Samuel Beach Axtell, Judge Warren Bristol, District Attorney William Rynerson, and Colonel Nathan Dudley shaped a system where co...

Bound together by the cold-blooded murder of John Tunstall, the Regulators were ranch hands, drifters, and lawmen who became vigilantes in a county where the law itself had collapsed. Some would go on to wear badges, others to outlawry, and a few would simply vanish into the desert winds. Their...

What happens when a bright, responsible 18-year-old vanishes on a road she’s traveled countless times?

In this gripping premiere of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, we begin the haunting case of Lisa Marie Kimmell—known to those who loved her as “Lil Miss.” In March 1988, Lisa left her job in Aurora, Colorado, and set off for a weekend road trip north. She never made it.

In 1983, Janelle Johnson was chasing her dreams. Just 23 years old, she traveled from Riverton, Wyoming to Denver for a modeling interview at Vannoy Talent Center. She called home to check in, planned her return—and vanished.

Two weeks later, her body was discovered on a desolate stretch of Muskrat Creek Road near Shoshoni. She had been brutally assaulted, strangled, and left in a shallow grave.

When 13-year-old Heather Dawn Church vanished from her Black Forest, Colorado home in 1991, the investigation faltered. Evidence was mishandled. Theories went nowhere. The system stayed quiet.

But one man refused to let her be forgotten.

Retired Colorado Springs Police commander John Wesley Anderson watched from the sidelines as the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office stumbled—and decided that if they wouldn’t fix it, he would.

In this gripping second installment of Dark Dialogue: Vermont’s Vanished, we return to March 20, 2004—the day Brianna Maitland’s abandoned green Oldsmobile was found backed into the side of the crumbling Old Dutchburn Barn. Inside the car? Two paychecks, her contact lenses, migraine meds, and the haunting sense that she meant to come back. Outside? A broken necklace. A wrecked investigation.

We examine the known and suspected victims connected to Long’s cross-country movements—from 12-year-old Sharon Baldeagle, a Lakota girl who accepted a ride and was never seen again, to Lisa Kimmell, the young woman whose personalized license plate became a haunti...

Ghost Evictions, ATM Lawn Jobs, and America’s Loudest Secret Spots

In this episode of Shadow Chat Sessions, the madness continues — this time with more citrus-based crime, ghost litigation, and paranormal kitchen appliances than we ever asked for.

This week’s lineup includes:

A woman who tried to legally evict a ghost from her home. Yes, she filed paperwork.

A conspiracy theory claiming Waffle House is an Illuminati surveillance network disguised as a breakfast chain

A Reddit user whose toaster growls at night. Unplugged.

Seventeen-year-old Brianna Maitland clocked out of her shift at the Black Lantern Inn on March 19, 2004… and vanished into the night.

In this first episode of a new series, John and Angela walk you through Brianna’s final known day—her interactions, her movements, the people she saw, and the moments that now feel like chilling premonitions. We examine the tension at home, the recent assault by a so-called friend, and the subtle signals that something may have already been unraveling.

Was she running from something—or someone? Was this a planned escape? Or did she cross pa...

Brilliant. Outspoken. Just seventeen. Candace Hiltz was a prodigy, a single mother, and a future Supreme Court hopeful—until she was executed in her own home in Fremont County, Colorado.

In this Dark Dialogue: Distilled episode, we cut through decades of misdirection and misconduct to focus on the critical facts. From the strange disappearance of the family dog to the bullet-riddled crime scene, from a storage unit filled with blood-soaked evidence to a local sheriff’s department drowning in corruption—this is a story of shattered trust and stolen justice.

We examine how Candace’s accusati...

In the final installment of our Maura Murray arc, Dark Dialogue closes the casebook—without closing the case.

On February 9, 2004, Maura vanished on a rural stretch of Route 112 in New Hampshire. Now, we revisit every angle one last time. Host John breaks down the most credible theory: that Maura, intent on a weekend getaway, was picked up and killed by someone she trusted—or by a local predator who seized a vulnerable moment. We dissect key evidence: her MapQuest directions to Burlington, Vermont, the scent trail lost 100 yards from the scene, and the missing essentials she never left...

In October 1980, a teenage girl’s body was found in the Nevada desert—nude, bruised, stabbed, and stripped of her identity. For 41 years, she was known only by the crude “S” tattoo on her arm and a grave marker that read “Jane Doe.” Her name was Tammy Corrine Terrell.

In this gripping episode of Dark Dialogue, we unravel the heartbreaking case of Tammy—how she left Roswell, New Mexico in search of something better, only to be silenced in the desert outside Henderson. We dive deep into her movements before death, the suspects last seen with her at a Carson Ci...

In Episode 9 of Shadow Chat Sessions, we reach a new apex of absurd with time travelers, werewolves, haunted hallways, and criminals who truly did not think it through.

A conspiracy theory that claims HAARP is controlling the weather — and maybe your mood swings

A Redditor’s nightmare: “I Think My Neighbor Is a Time Traveler — and I Have the Pizza Receipts to Prove It”

On a cold February night in 2004, Maura Murray crashed her black Saturn on Route 112 in rural New Hampshire—and disappeared without a trace. No footprints. No blood. No signs of a struggle. Just a locked car and a lingering question: Did Maura leave the scene alone?

In Episode 5 of our Maura Murray series, Dark Dialogue dissects the chilling tandem driver theory—the possibility that Maura was picked up by another vehicle, willingly or not, and never seen again. Hosts John and Angela reconstruct the 19-minute window between her crash and the police’s arrival, analyze the trail that e...

What if no one hurt Maura Murray… and that’s what makes it so hard to accept?

In Episode 4 of Dark Dialogue, John and Angela investigate the most controversial theory in Maura’s disappearance: that she wasn’t abducted, attacked, or aided—but that she simply wandered into the White Mountains and died of exposure.

With first-hand wilderness EMS insight and a deep dive into hypothermia psychology, we explore:

A Texas man tries to rob a bank using a toilet plung...

Buried in the heat-hardened cliffs of Nevada’s Thousand Springs Canyon, a young woman’s story was reduced to ashes—her name burned away, her identity still unknown. Who was she? And who wanted her erased?

In this gripping episode of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, we delve into the haunting 1974 discovery of the Thousand Springs Jane Doe, a burned body found in a lava rock alcove outside Elko County. With no skull, no teeth, and no match in missing persons databases, she became one of the West’s most tragic and overlooked mysteries.

We’re also tracking a Florida man who tried to dodge jail because he had a curfew, and a guy who robbed a store using a finger gun and then escaped in a pink SUV like it was a Barbie h...

On a snowy February night in 2004, 21-year-old Maura Murray vanished without a trace after crashing her car on a desolate stretch of Route 112 in Haverhill, New Hampshire. No footprints. No phone activity. No confirmed sightings. Just a locked car, a scattering of personal belongings—and two decades of unanswered questions.

In this episode of Dark Dialogue, hosts John and Angela examine the most polarizing theory in the Maura Murray case: that she disappeared by choice. Was Maura a runaway—escaping pressure, shame, or identity collapse—or was her silence the result of something more sinister?

We div...

In the shadow of speculation, truth fights to be heard.

In Part Two of our Maura Murray series, Dark Dialogue pulls no punches. Hosts John and Angela take a hard look at James Renner—whose irresponsible claims have overshadowed Maura’s story for more than a decade. From unfounded allegations against Fred Murray to baseless accusations involving Maura’s boyfriend and fringe theories of tandem drivers, hidden cabins, and even a convicted fraudster—this episode breaks down Renner’s most damaging narratives and the ripple effects that followed.

But this story isn’t just about Renner. It’s...

A scorched canyon. A woman without a name.
And a decades-old mystery that still haunts Nevada’s high desert.

In this gripping installment of Dark Dialogue: Rocky Mountain Reckoning, hosts John and Angela investigate the tragic and unresolved case of Devil’s Gate Jane Doe—a young woman found murdered and partially burned in a remote canyon near Elko, Nevada, in 1978. She had no ID, no missing persons report to match, and no justice.

Could she have been a hitchhiker? A local runaway? A forgotten victim of a serial killer operating in the shadows of the...

A stolen cannon weighing 800 pounds—taken to pay off a drug debt.
An Olympic coach accused of grooming young athletes.

On Memorial Day weekend, May 29, 2005, a horrifying crime shattered the peace of Lufkin, Texas.

Today, we’re tackling a case that gripped a small Tennessee community, dominated national headlines, and left us with as many doubts as answers: the disappearance and murder of Holly Bobo. This is a story of a young woman with a bright future, a family shattered by loss, and an investigation so sprawling it became the most expensive in Tennessee history.
