When Christian Griggs arrived at his estranged wife’s family home in October 2013 to pick up his four‑year‑old daughter, the visit ended in tragedy. Moments after calling his father for help, Christian was found face‑down on the porch with six gunshot wounds—four of them in his back. His father‑in‑law, Pastor Pat Chisenhall, claimed self‑defense, and no criminal charges were filed. But years later, a civil jury ruled that Chisenhall was responsible for Christian’s wrongful death, rejecting the self‑defense narrative and awarding damages to Christian’s daughter. The case continues to raise questions about investigative failures, racial bias, and a family’s long fight for accountability.

On Christmas Eve 2019, 25‑year‑old hairstylist Kevin Bacon left his home in Swartz Creek, Michigan, for what he believed would be a simple meetup arranged through a dating app. When he failed to show up for Christmas breakfast, his family’s worry sparked a search that uncovered a nightmare. Investigators traced Kevin’s last messages to the rural home of Mark Latunski, a man with a long history of severe mental illness and alarming behavior. What police found there stunned even seasoned detectives.
This episode examines Kevin’s vibrant life, the digital trail that led authorities to the truth, and the systemic failures that allowed a dangerous individual to slip through the cracks. It’s a story of a community shaken, a family forever changed, and the urgent questions raised about safety in the age of online connection.

Detroit’s Most Disturbing Triangle. 

In the summer of 1982, Detroit police walked into an apartment that would haunt investigators for decades. Inside was the body of 33‑year‑old Robert Beckowitz — a quiet, ordinary man whose life took a shocking turn after watching TV with his girlfriend and his best friend in his home. What followed was a twisted mix of betrayal, drugs, and a crime so bizarre it still sits on the edge of urban legend.

This is a case that we did five years ago as our very first bonus episode! We are redoing it today because now there has been a conviction and justice has been served. In August 1981, 34‑year‑old Sylvia Quayle was found murdered inside her Cherry Hills Village home—a brutal crime that shattered a quiet Colorado community. For decades, the case sat cold despite tireless investigative work. In this episode, we trace the shocking violence of that night, the forensic dead ends, and the breakthrough that finally came nearly 40 years later through forensic genealogy. What unfolds is a story of persistence, science, and a family’s long wait for justice
