In this chilling Italian true‑crime case, we explore the life and crimes of Leonarda Cianciulli, a seemingly warm and well‑liked shopkeeper in the town of Correggio whose desperation and superstition spiraled into horror. After a lifetime marked by tragedy — including the loss of multiple children and ominous warnings from fortune tellers — Cianciulli became convinced that human sacrifice was the only way to keep her eldest son safe as he prepared to enter the military.

A quiet Indiana community was shattered on September 28, 2000, when Kim Camm and her two children, Bradley and Jill, were found shot to death in the family garage. What followed became one of the most controversial and tangled criminal cases in modern true crime history. This episode unpacks the tragedy, the flawed investigation, and the years‑long battle for justice that exposed deep cracks in the system. Was this a case of tunnel vision, institutional pride, or something even more unsettling? Join us as we explore the Camm family murders — a story of loss, wrongful conviction, and the long road to the truth.

In this redo special guest episode, we dive into the killing of 22‑year‑old Brian Barrett, a young man caught in the crossfire of an online fantasy world created by Thomas Montgomery, a married, middle‑aged coworker posing as a teenage Marine sniper named “Tommy.” When both men fell for the same woman—an online persona known as “TalHotBlonde”—jealousy turned into obsession, and obsession turned into a calculated ambush in the parking lot of the Dynabrade factory in Buffalo, New York.

This week on Crime Curious, we’re taking you into three different missing‑person cases—each one baffling in its own way, each one desperately in need of answers. From a father who went missing on the way to his child's birth, to a murder trial without a body, these stories span different circumstances, different timelines, and different kinds of heartbreak, but they all share one thing: someone vanished, and the truth never followed. One of these cases comes with a twist so unexpected it changes everything you thought you understood.
