So come join us every first and third Friday of the month as we take a deep look into the dark and twisted. It isn't for the feint of heart, but we promise it will be worth it.

7 FEB 2025 · Hello, campers, and welcome to our mid-season episode.
Once again, Jess has an old-timey crime for us to delve into. This episode contains information from author Steven C. Drielak’s book, Long Island’s Vanished Heiress: The Unsolved Alice Parsons Kidnapping.
On June 9, 1937, Alice McDonell Parsons disappeared from the farm she and her husband ran in Long Island, with the help of their housekeeper, Anna Kupryanova. While not social darlings, both Alice and William Parsons were connected to wealthy families. Alice had recently been left with money and investments that would secure her future. Still, a change in her will made less than 30 days before her disappearance would indicate an interesting dynamic within the Parsons household.
Sadly, neither the local agencies nor the FBI were able to outsmart the responsible persons. Although there is a consensus on how the events went down, almost 90 years later Alice Parsons disappearance remains unsolved.

17 GEN 2025 · Welcome to another new episode! This week, we discuss a case that could easily define the term “legacy”. When 9-year-old Amber Hagerman was abducted and murdered, no one could have imagined just how the world would be changed because of the crime.
Amber is remembered by friends and family as a bright, kind and energetic young girl. But for the United States and in some way, many other countries across the globe, her legacy lives on in the AMBER Alert system. Over one thousand children have been saved from abduction and returned to their families because of this system.
Join us as we discuss this precious little girl and how she lives on through the emergency alert system that bares her name.
Sadly, Amber’s case has never been solved and the man responsible has not been brought to justice. It’s been 29 years and there is still hope that it can be solved.
If anyone has information on Amber’s abduction or murder, there is a number to call. 817-575-8823 will connect you to the Arlington Police Department.
This week, we featured a sneak peek into another podcast. Please give Simone with 90s Crime Time a listen. It is available anywhere you listen to podcasts. Tell her Jess & Brice sent you!

This week takes us back almost a century to a case from Long Island, New York. In 1935, Ada Appelgate passed away from a mysterious illness after suffering from heart and health issues for years. The 38-year-old wife and mother were almost laid to rest until some anonymous information made its way to police. What ensued after the inquiry into her death is unexpected.

20 DIC 2024 · Hey, campers! Welcome back to the campfire for our latest episode. Before we wrap up 2024, Jess brings a case to discuss that showcases the downfalls of the system.
In August of 2021, an armed intruder would enter the home of Travis and Jamilyn Juetten. The couple was due to leave for a 2-week vacation to Hawaii which would never happen after the events in that early morning tragedy. Lives were lost and changed forever. But was it all preventable? The family says absolutely, it was and is now suing Marion County, Oregon to hold them accountable.
Join us as we take a look at this case and how it might have been prevented from happening. Share your thoughts with us on social media or by email.
Happy Holidays, campers! Many well wishes of peace and happiness from our family to yours

Welcome back to the campfire, friends! We’re back with the first episode to kick off a new season. In this episode, Jess and Brice discuss an unsolved murder from 50 years ago in Lincoln, Nebraska. The body of 24-year-old Patricia Webb was found in a remote area 30 minutes away from Lincoln after being seen leaving her job at 1:00 am on April 18, 1974. Despite strong evidence, leads have turned up no results to solve this crime.

17 NOV 2023 · Hello, campers! The days may be getting shorter and the nights a little colder, but the campfire is still going strong here in the woods.
Thanks for stopping by for this week's episode! We have a special guest host and a brand-new case to share with you.
Olivia is with us to share the heartbreaking case of the deaths of Ed and Minnie Maurin. The case went unsolved for several decades due to a lack of evidence and witness statements. Thankfully, this one does have a conviction and the elderly couple and their remaining family can maybe be at peace.
Thanks, Olivia!
