Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan

On the evening of March 8, 2026, a woman walking her dog in the Hickory Hill area of Memphis, Tennessee, calls police to report she believes she has spotted a human head. Police respond and recover what is believed to be a human head near a wooded area. Over the next few days more than 170 Memphis Police, Memphis Fire Department, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation or TBI, the FBI and Homeland Security arrive to assist in the recovery of human remains, bones. So far the remains of three children between the ages of 3 and 7 have been recovered. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack examine the bones of the story, the timeline, the geography of the area, and try to find out the answer to a simple question; why hasn't anyone been looking for three children? Who are the children and who killed them?

The body of 16-year-old Roxanne Sharp was found near the Covington Fairgrounds in Louisiana's St Tammany Parish in February 1982. The teen had been violently raped and murdered, her clothing ripped off her body and tossed aside creating a trail through the woods to her broken body. The murder shocked the state, but with little evidence and nobody talking, the case went cold, but not forgotten. Louisiana State Police Investigator Stephan Ferguson reached out to local broadcaster Charles Dowdy and created a podcast to tell Roxanne's story in hopes of getting new information 40 plus years after the murder. It worked. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack go back over the evidence from 1982 and explain how investigators were able to arrest four men, DECADES after the murder of Roxanne Sharp.
