197: The Disappearance of Johnny Gosch

In June of 2013, 24-year-old Sarah Staudte was taken to the local hospital by her mother and younger sister. She’d been getting increasingly sick and by the time she arrived at the hospital, doctors found her to be in organ failure, nearing death. No one could figure out what was causing her sudden illness. It wasn’t long before an anonymous tip urged the Springfield Police Department to take a closer look at Diane Staudte, the mother of the family. Not only was Sarah in the ICU, Mark, her father, and Shaun, her older brother, had all died suddenly in a short period. What detectives found was beyond anything they ever could’ve imagined..   Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here! We've made them available for free to anyone who signs up!

Jennifer Daugherty was a kind, loving, and trusting person who believed the absolute best in everyone.  When she met some new friends, she was excited to spend time with them.  Unfortunately, they decided that her life wasn’t a life worth living based on rumors, lies, and jealousy.  Six people that claimed to be Jennifer’s friends held her captive and brutally tortured her for days before ending her life and throwing her away like trash.   Want access to our first 45 episodes?

In April of 2016, UT Austin freshman Haruka Weiser left an evening dance practice to head back to her dorm. She called her roommate to let her know she was on the way, but she never made it. When she failed to show up the next morning and missed her early classes, a missing person’s report was filed, and authorities began the search for Haruka along the paths she was known to take between classes. The next day, her body was found on campus, and with help from surveillance footage, a suspect emerged and was arrested within days. Haruka’s death led to increased security on campus and left a lasting impact on the UT Austin Community.   Want access to our first 45 episodes?

In August of 2009, Dalia Dippolito got up early one morning and went to the gym, leaving her husband, Mike at home as he was recovering from a surgery.  While at the gym, she got a call from the local Boynton Beach police saying she needed to return home immediately because something terrible had happened.  She was met with police cars everywhere and crime scene tape sectioning everything off.  Dalia was told that someone entered their home and killed Mike as he slept.  But all wasn’t as it seemed, and a tale of murder for hire played out for everyone to watch on an episode of Cops that aired in September of 2011.

Hey KQt's,  I need some time to talk to you. I wanted to let you know that Tori has left the show. We have had so much fun over the years bringing you a light true crime podcast and that won’t be changing!  While we may have a few delayed or missing over the next few weeks (it is also summer with kiddos and we just moved!) I will be continuing to release content on our regular schedule with no major gaps.  I may have special guests here and there and I hope to have all of you by my side as I find a new rhythm as a single host.  We ask that you please show respect and consideration during this transition time. We know you may have questions, but we ask that you not reach out to either of us directly. Thank you for being the BEST community in true crime.  I can’t wait to talk to you soon!

We all know the rhyme, “Lizzie Borden took an ax and gave her mother forty whacks.  When she saw what she had done, she gave her father 41,” right?  It’s something most children in America say to scare their little sister or when having a sleepover with friends before saying Bloody Mary three times in the mirror.  Despite the popularity of the rhyme and the crime, Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murders.  To this day, people remain divided on Lizzie’s guilt, but the one thing we know for sure is that despite the murders having happened over 130 years ago, it remains in infamy.  Want access to our first 45 episodes?
