Imagine being a teenager. Your phone is constantly going off, but every time it buzzes, it isn’t a friend. Instead, it’s a threat. For almost two years, high school students Lauryn Licari and Owen McKenny couldn’t escape the messages, the calls, the feeling that someone was always watching. What began as unsettling interruptions grew into a campaign of harassment, and when they found out who was actually behind the messages, their entire world would change.

The Disappearance of Malcom Madsen
In 2018, 68-year-old Canadian expat Malcom Madsen vanished after a night out in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. What looked like a celebration quickly turned into a mystery that would take years—and a relentless daughter’s fight for justice—to unravel.
With shocking surveillance footage, missing money, and a trail of corruption, this case is as heartbreaking as it is unbelievable.

FROM THE VAULT: The Turpin Family
We will return from our break in just a few weeks, and in the meantime we hope you enjoy this bonus episode from 2023!
Early in the morning on January 14, 2018, police in Perris, California performed a welfare check at 160 Muir Woods Road. David and Louise Turpin took several minutes to answer the door, and when they did, they looked terrified. Louise’s eyes were huge, and they were breathing heavily. Their decades-long secret was about to be revealed, but deputies were not prepared for what was inside that house.
