11 MAR 2025 · Weird True Crime welcomes Missing in Hush Town. This is the first episode from the first season of the long-form investigative podcast.
Missing in Hush Town: Chapter One
Jennifer Wix was just 21. Adrianna, her baby girl, was just 2. On March 25, 2004, the girls were never seen or heard from again. We started this podcast with a sliver of hope that perhaps one of the girls was still out there- after all, who could harm an innocent little girl?
We now have confirmation that neither girls took a breath past March 25, 2004. Our mission is the same- bring the girls home, but our search has changed- we’re in a race to find their remains before any deals with the Devil can be made.
Jennifer and Adrianna deserved better in our small town in 2004. What was once a Hush Town is now filled with Wix Warriors.Small towns talk…And we’ve been listening.We should start here, like I did- on March 25, 2004.And come along as I take you deep into my 15+ month long journey as a Wix Warrior.Working alongside Casey Robinson, Jennifer Wix’s sister, we have poured countless hours walking together in this journey for justice- and we promise to take you along the way, as much as we can, as soon as we can.
We won't stop until the girls are home and justice is served.
No more good ole boys.
No more HUSH TOWN.

and we're listening.

5 MAR 2025 · On April 18, 2016, Missy Bevers, a dedicated fitness instructor, was brutally murdered inside Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas. Surveillance footage captured a mysterious figure in SWAT-style tactical gear roaming the church halls before the attack, but despite thousands of tips, the killer has never been identified. Was this a burglary gone wrong or a targeted murder? Why was nothing stolen? And how has this case remained unsolved for nearly a decade?
In this episode, Gina & Amber dive into the haunting security footage, key suspect details, online speculation, and shocking new findings in the case. Plus, we discuss Missy’s final days, the impact on her family, and the latest updates from investigators.
Despite years of investigation, Missy’s killer remains unidentified. But someone out there knows the truth.
Know something? Crime Stoppers of Ellis County is offering a $150,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Call 972-937-PAYS (7297) or Midlothian PD at 972-775-7634.

19 FEB 2025 · Originally ruled a homicide due to 20 stab wounds, including multiple to the back of her neck, Ellen Greenberg's case was later shockingly changed to suicide under pressure from law enforcement. Join us as we dive into this unnerving case of mishandled justice and how after 14 years of unanswered questions, major developments could finally lead to justice for Ellen.
🚨 Case Updates Include:
The Philadelphia Medical Examiner who ruled Ellen’s death a suicide has formally recanted his findings.
A judge has allowed Ellen’s parents’ lawsuit against the city to move forward.
A new investigation may be on the horizon, potentially involving state or federal authorities.
Ellen’s fiancé, Sam Goldberg, has broken his silence after years—doubling down on the suicide claim despite contradictory forensic evidence.
With growing public pressure and undeniable forensic inconsistencies, could this be the turning point in one of true crime’s most controversial cases?
🔎 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms to hear the latest on this mysterious case and the Greenberg family’s fight for answers. Don’t forget to rate & review to help us continue bringing you important true crime stories.

5 FEB 2025 · In this episode, Jake and Michele are joined by Gina and Amber from the Weird
True Crime podcast to discuss the tragic story of Judy Malinowski, a mother of
two who was set on fire by her abuser, Michael Slager, and bravely fought for 696
days to survive—ultimately making legal history by testifying against him.
The discussion delves into the devastating impact of domestic violence, the legal
significance of Judy’s case, her brave testimony, and the historic role she played
in speaking out against her abuser. The panel also explores the warning signs of
abusive relationships, the difficulties victims face when trying to escape, and the
lasting legacy of Judy’s Law. They emphasize the importance of raising
awareness about domestic abuse and the vital work Weird True Crime is doing to
highlight lesser-known cases and bring attention to critical issues in the true crime
world.
**PLEASE NOTE** The topics discussed in this episode are dark in nature and
may be distressing to some listeners. We will be exploring sensitive subjects,
including domestic violence, severe fire burns, and murder, which may not be
suitable for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
