On the evening of April 8, 2015, 28-year-old Heather Bogle, a mother to a young daughter, left work at a factory in Clyde, Ohio, never to return home. What initially seemed like a routine case of a missing person soon turned into a horrific crime that shocked an entire community. The next day, Heather’s lifeless body was found in the trunk of her own car, abandoned in a nearby parking lot.

What followed was a complex, twisting investigation marked by misguided efforts, wrongful accusations, and a flawed justice system. Despite overwhelming evidence pointing in different directions, police fixated on the wrong suspects for years, creating a devastating ripple effect on the lives of innocent people. Heather’s family and friends were left in limbo, struggling with the uncertainty of whether anyone would ever be held accountable.

In this episode, we delve into the chilling details of Heather’s tragic death and the tumultuous journey for justice that unfolded over several years. We break down the mistakes made during the initial investigation, where potential leads were ignored, and key evidence was overlooked. The story becomes even more disturbing as we uncover the wrongful targeting of Heather’s coworkers, including a family friend who would be wrongly accused and jailed based on scant evidence.

But as the years passed and the case went cold, a new sheriff took on the case, and a fresh set of eyes began to piece together what had been missed in the initial investigation. A breakthrough finally came when crucial DNA evidence linked a new suspect to the crime—a man who had long been on the outskirts of the case but whose involvement had been dismissed by investigators.

Through a series of in-depth interviews, court transcripts, and investigative analysis, we explore the systemic flaws that allowed Heather’s case to go unsolved for so long, as well as the courageous work done by those who would not let her story fade into the shadows.

Join us as we piece together the twists and turns of this tragic story and ask the tough questions: Why did it take so long for justice to prevail? Who was really responsible for Heather's death? And how many other victims remain buried under layers of mistakes and miscarriages of justice?

In this episode, the fight for the truth is far from over. Listen as we uncover the details of a case that is both heart-wrenching and eye-opening, revealing the harsh realities of law enforcement, community distrust, and the personal toll taken on those who seek justice in the face of overwhelming odds.

Natalie McNally was 32 years old and 15 weeks pregnant when she was brutally murdered in her home in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, in December 2022. Her killing sent shockwaves across the country—not just because of the cruelty of the crime, but because of what it represented: yet another woman violently taken, in a place where she should have been safe.

Natalie was described by those who loved her as warm, passionate, and fiercely independent. She was looking forward to becoming a mother. Her death, at the hands of someone she knew and trusted, was not just a personal tragedy but a public reckoning. The investigation quickly gained national attention, especially as details began to emerge about the calculated nature of the attack, the use of deception and technology to cover it up, and the emotional toll it took on her family and community.

The case also exposed wider issues around gender-based violence in Northern Ireland. Public vigils were held in her memory, and a growing outcry followed—highlighting the dangers women still face, even in their own homes. Natalie’s family became outspoken in their calls for justice and reform, turning their grief into advocacy. The suspect, who had initially appeared to mourn her death, was later arrested and charged with her murder, revealing a chilling betrayal and sparking renewed discussions about trust, manipulation, and control in abusive relationships.

This episode looks at the devastating facts of the case, the timeline of the investigation, and the lasting impact Natalie’s murder has had on her family and on society at large. Her story has become a symbol of both heartbreak and resistance, a reminder of the lives behind the headlines, and the need to confront the violence that continues to target women across the world.

On a warm summer night in Dayton, Ohio, in August 2005, 28-day-old Paris Talley was sleeping peacefully — or so her mother, China Arnold, claimed. But what really happened inside Apartment D of the Parkside Homes complex would soon make national headlines and horrify even the most seasoned investigators.

When emergency services arrived, they found baby Paris lifeless, her tiny body showing no visible signs of trauma. But as doctors examined her, they discovered something unthinkable: internal burns so severe, they couldn’t have been caused by fire, water, or any conventional source. The truth? This baby had been cooked from the inside out. And the device that caused it was found just a few feet away — a household microwave oven.

At the center of the investigation was China Arnold, a young mother of four with no history of violence, but a troubled past marked by instability, poverty, and alleged domestic abuse. At first, she denied any wrongdoing. Then came the conflicting stories, the changing alibis, and a shocking confession — followed by a retraction. The case spiraled through twists and turns: rumors of another child placing Paris in the microwave, allegations of intoxication and blackout, and a legal battle that stretched across multiple trials.

As the justice system tried to unravel what really happened that night, the world was left to grapple with a question too awful to imagine: Could a mother really do this to her own child?

In this episode, we trace the events leading up to that night, the police investigation that followed, and the court proceedings that would ultimately find China Arnold guilty of aggravated murder. She was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole — but not before the case exposed cracks in the legal process, stirred controversy about maternal mental health, and left a permanent scar on the American true crime landscape.

This is a story about rage, tragedy, and unimaginable choices — and the chilling silence that followed one of the most horrifying crimes in recent memory.
