      In a lot of these cases there had been abuse in the family that had either been unknown to everyone else, or had been kept quiet for the sake of "keeping the family together". I've got a 'missing' cousin who everyone in the family knows ran away to escape the abuse he was suffering, and apart from his twin sister, most of the family has pretended that he never existed. We caught a distant glimpse of him from across the cemetery at his father's funeral - he looked almost exactly like my late uncle had at that age. And we'll probably never see him again.

      Which is a good point, if ever you're arrested and sent straight to court and 6 different public defenders tell you to plead guilty or they'll add punishments for being innocent. Just defend yourself obviously if you know you're innocent.. if you can explain it to a judge it usually sorts itself out.
      That was for driving whilst drunk, I don't drink as I got "the R worded" when I was 16 and very very very drunk. I usually got arrested 4 times a week for drink driving eve though I blew 2 00's. One time I was arrested driving out of the police station carpark for.. drink driving.. confused the Sgt when I appeared back in processing after just leaving.
      This is the singular reason why I sold my bike and won't drive anymore.. spending the rest of my life in prison to get to drive for an hour a day isn't worth it.

      @watchmejumpstart It's possible. The second I heard his transmission busted, I was like, "he probably didn't stop the car to change gears when he was pulling his maneuvers." Yup, that's what did it. There were witnesses to a guy lurking in the area ahead of her abduction, but that's not airtight either. That could've been staged, or he might've heard about that after the fact and wove it into his narrative, given the info we have. No mention was made of phone records to confirm they'd even spoken (not sure how those were handled in '91) so it's possibly only his word that she was abducted there in the first place.

    The man in the green truck went through Bellmont, Illinois. In 1990 my mother (who was pregnant at the time) and I (3 years old) were walking my older brother to school. Bellmont is a small enough village where you can get anywhere by foot within ten minutes so instead of wasting gas my mom just decided to just go by foot. Once we had dropped my brother off at school and within literally 2-3 blocks from my house a man in a green ford truck with a big fish picture on the back window drove by and looked at my mom and I. He yelled out something like "Looking real fine baby!" at my mother as he drove. He went down the next block but made a right turn like he was going to go around the block again and sure enough there he was staring at my mom and spewing the same crap at her and once again he made another right. My mom then told me that if she says to run home and get daddy that I do exactly that. But I guess he never came back. A few years later my mom was watching an episode of Unsolved Mysteries and that same green ford truck driven by the same man appeared on screen. I was too young to remember this at the time. I'm just glad that my mom was around to tell me.

The fact Paul was with his daughter was even better: if Sarah was gone too, Teresa could claim her child is entitled to everything. Lorenzo was probably told about the plan, but something happened and he needed to go too. Imo the savagery inside the van was to fool investigators about the killer/killers profile.

    I'm from one of those sleepy, rural type places in northern Arkansas that never really has any violent crime but the story from Missouri reminds me of one of the very few cases from around here - that also actually spanned or at least had links to Missouri. My dad and his brothers used to work catching chickens around here back in the late 70's/early 80's with a guy who later turned out to be a serial killer. I think it had turned out where he'd killed several women from down here all the way up to Missouri. And he had a plot of land up in the mountains north of where I live where he'd stashed a lot of the women's cars and belongings. I haven't looked up his name in a while but the few times I did, the only things I could find were fairly old, early/mid 2000's articles where they were like studying his brain/brainwaves. But he had the most serial killer-sounding name you could imagine: JB Grinder.
    But there were a lot of weird stories about how this guy was a complete looney toon. Supposedly, he almost always worked in the chicken houses naked and my dad and his brothers heard from some of the other guys who worked with him more often that he also regularly "forced himself" onto another one of the chicken catchers who was mentally handicapped and would literally roll him around in the chicken litter and you know, "sexually assault" him... It's like horrific shit - my dad and uncles didn't directly witness that part but it was widely known and openly discussed apparently. I asked why nobody stopped him and they all just said he was a complete unhinged lunatic and would regularly attack and nearly kill people for no reason and nobody wanted to get involved or mess with him. Plus, all of these guys would have been alcoholic, drug-addicted teenagers in the boondocks of Arkansas in the 80's - I imagine they didn't know what to think or do.
    I guess there was also the story of Ronald Gene Simmons from around here about that same time - dude apparently got his own daughter pregnant, invited his entire extended family over for Christmas, executed them one at a time as they showed up and when he had finally killed and buried his entire family, he went to his place of work (literally a post office/postal place) and shot that place up - my dad has a cousin who was there and had to hide under a desk. Off the top of my head, I believe this dude immediately like pled guilty and demanded the death penalty and if I remember correctly, was the fastest conviction to execution in US or at least maybe Arkansas history - or maybe it was just "modern" history... Either way, I guess there was two pretty wild prolific cases from around here.

If she did follow the car and it turns out that the abductor was armed or had other people with him who was ready to kill, she could have died too or been abducted as well. In the end, self-preservation will prevail.

    I live in Pasco county, and I’ve always thought the key to Diane’s case lies with the people who “found” her finger. US 19 is a huge highway - like 8 lanes across plus the median. So walking along the side of this street and spotting a finger amongst the highway litter, grass, ditches, etc. would be highly unlikely. Then for the boyfriend to go back - on his own - and find the finger again is really starting to sound impossible.
    Those people know something or were involved somehow, and her finger was not just “found” on the side of the road. I don’t know what the true story or motive was, but the one they are telling stinks to high heaven.

I'm front facing all the beer we have so I said something like "heffeee" like a surfer would and this dude looks at me doesn't say a word just tried to stare a hole through me. He was old I'm bigger and had a golck on my hip so, I just thought he was weird but no threat. Then he went and ordered food from the kitchen. When he finally payed up I cashed him out I didn't try to small talk him. He already got the stamp, but sometimes just a simple "hello" when a customer comes in, or "have a nice day"when they leave can really make somebody's day. Not this guy it seemed to irritate him. Just after he pulled away the kitchen lady came up and said "omg I think that guy was a serial killer." I don't remember what she said, but she also had a horrible interaction with the guy. The more I think about that encounter the more I think she was right. I kinda wish I'd got his plate #.

    Especially knowing that, even all these years later, there are still no definite answers & there has been no closure in all that time for those poor grieving & tormented family members & loved ones!
    But truly, the 2nd case here really is a twisted tale & a very puzzling mystery!
    3 senseless murders, a maze of complex inter-woven family-ties & relationships & so many unanswered questions!
    Can it be just a coincidence that those 3 Donovan siblings are all so closely connected in some way to the victims?
    Wow - without a doubt, this one is a total head-scratcher & almost impossible to solve without a full confession/s from one or more of the siblings I dare say!

      I used to watch his videos driving home late at night from my boyfriends house a couple years ago when he lived about 75 minutes away, and I'd drive back roads. One night in particular I got so freaked out that I was convinced someone was following me because you're on the same one lane road for 12+ miles in the dark, in the middle of nowhere, and I didn't want them behind me anymore so I started speeding and passing a couple cars over the yellow if they were going slow. I ended up behind a truck going super slow, passing it and then getting pulled over and ticketed. I cant handle watching these videos alone if I'm not indoors.

    You are very good at what you do. There are very few things that I wish I had never done so I could re-do them for the first time again and your podcast is one of them. Love the show!

    I believe Teresa and her brother Tom did the murderous deed. Because the baby boy was not Pauls. Lorenzo was unfortunately used as a prop so it would turn suspension away from the two lowlifes. Killing the child and Paul would surely lead to Teresa.

    Gotta love how two regular guys find more than the police in an investigation 😃

    I cannot imagine the feeling of realizing your car is dying as you’re desperately chasing your fiancé’s potential killer as they speed away with them in their car. I don’t know if I could survive that sort of thing. It’s my ultimate nightmare. Being forced to watch something like that and not being able to do anything about it

    I love how you overdub your voice after the filming. Class! Reminds me of Chris Morris' 'Jam'.
