Clues with Morgan Absher and Kaelyn Moore

In June 2017, Ben Renick, a 29 year-old Missouri snake breeder, was found dead inside his reptile barn. At first, rumors spread that one of his massive pythons had killed him.

But the truth was far more chilling: Ben had been shot eight times.With shell casings on the floor, no stolen snakes, and conflicting alibis, the investigation into the Ben Renick murder case quickly turned toward someone close to him. As detectives uncovered financial strain, secret affairs, a million-dollar life insurance policy, and a jailhouse confession, the story only grew more shocking.

In this episode of Clues, Morgan and Kaelyn break down the timeline, the evidence, and the courtroom twists behind one of Missouri’s most disturbing true crime cases.

In July 1985, 29 year-old Gail Katz-Bierenbaum told a friend she was leaving her husband. She had apartment listings circled, money borrowed, and a psychiatrist’s written warning that her husband might kill her.

The next day, she vanished.

Her husband, Dr. Robert Bierenbaum, claimed she went to Central Park after an argument. But a secret plane rental, an altered flight log, and a history of domestic violence would unravel that story: leading to one of New York’s most notable no-body murder cases.

In this episode of Clues, Morgan and Kaelyn break down the disappearance of Gail Katz-Bierenbaum, the evidence that pointed skyward, and the confession that came decades later.

In the 1990s, women began disappearing from Vancouver’s Downtown East Side: many of them Indigenous, many of them sex workers, many of them dismissed as transient or unreliable. A survivor of a violent 1997 attack identified her assailant as pig farmer Robert Pickton, but the charges were stayed and the investigation stalled. As the list of missing women grew, anonymous tips, witness statements, and internal warnings all pointed back to one property in Port Coquitlam. Morgan and Kaelyn trace the clues that were overlooked, the search that finally uncovered human remains on the farm, and the systemic failures that allowed one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers to operate for years.

In December 2009, 28 year-old Susan Powell vanished from her home in West Valley City, Utah, leaving behind her purse, her keys, and two young sons who would later tell police she went camping with them but didn’t come home. Her husband’s overnight alibi raised immediate questions, and inside the house detectives found bloodstains, cleaned carpet, and missing electronics. But the most chilling clue was waiting inside Susan’s secret safety deposit box: a handwritten statement warning that if she died, it might not be an accident. Morgan and Kaelyn trace the timeline, the contradictions, and the devastating chain of events that followed Susan’s disappearance.
