Poisoned to Death? | The Deaths of Reporter Adan Manzano and Harold Allen

Timestamps:
(7:57) - Poisoning Cases

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two cases where men were possibly drugged to death by women.

Sports reporter Adan Manzano (27) was found dead with no signs of trauma in his New Orleans hotel room in February 2025. Adan had been in the city to cover the upcoming Super Bowl. When police began investigating, they discovered Adan was last seen with a female ‘career criminal,' Danette Colbert. Danette has a history of drugging and robbing men. It was discovered that Danette used Adan’s credit card after his death. His cause of death is still pending with the Medical Examiner.

Indiana man Harold Allen died in 2022 from what was initially thought to be natural causes. It was only after his step-daughter, Ashley Jones, staged a robbery that his death was investigated. It came to light that Harold was likely poisoned to death with ethylene glycol by his wife Marsha and Ashley. The women tried multiple times to kill Harold with varying substances before they were successful. After Marsha was questioned by police, she took her own life. Ashley is currently awaiting trial.

The Todt Family Murders

The Todt Family Murders

To anyone looking in, the Todts seemed like the perfect family. Megan and Tony Todt, both successful physical therapists, lived in Celebration, Florida - a picturesque community created by the Walt Disney Company, with their three children. While the family could be seen smiling in matching Christmas pajamas on social media - a dark secret loomed over them. Unbeknownst to Megan, Tony was being federally investigated for committing health insurance fraud to cover their astronomical debt. In December 2019, Tony (*allegedly*) snapped and murdered Megan, their children and even their family dog. He then remained inside their home with the bodies for days creating a web of lies to cover his tracks. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

The Murder of Holly Bobo | Part 2

The Murder of Holly Bobo | Part 2

On April 13th, 2011, 20-year-old Holly Bobo spent her morning studying for an exam she'd never take. She'd pack her things, grab her lunch and walk out the door - only to cross paths with a strange man dressed in camouflage.  Holly was last seen by her brother, who caught a glimpse of her through the window, walking into the woods with who he thought was her boyfriend.  From there, what happened to Holly would remain a mystery for nearly 6 years. A handful of men were arrested for Holly's abduction, rape and murder, but not everyone believes the right men are behind bars. In this episode, we go over what happened at Zach Adams' murder trial and discuss other theories as to what may have happened to Holly.

The Murder-Suicide of Cousins Emeri Connery & Bailey Smith

The Murder-Suicide of Cousins Emeri Connery & Bailey Smith

70% of murder-suicides involve an intimate partner - a husband and wife, a boyfriend and girlfriend, etc. In March 2019, police officer Bailey Smith shot and killed his cousin Emeri Connery before turning the gun on himself. The two were driving home after a long night celebrating Bailey's 21st birthday. Strangely, Bailey was memorialized by the community with parades and celebrations, while Emeri, the actual victim of the crime, was hardly mentioned at all. Even Emeri's family seemed to defend her killer. So, do they know something we don't? In this episode, we talk briefly about updates in the Madeleine McCann case before diving into what happened between Bailey and Emeri that night and murder-suicides in general.  Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

Missing Tyler Davis & Chance Englebert

Missing Tyler Davis & Chance Englebert

In this episode we have a few quick updates on Corinna Slusser, Madison Bell, and Maura Murray. The bulk of the episode is about Tyler Davis & Chance Englebert who separately vanished in 2019 and their stories have a lot of similarities.  Tyler Davis vanished after walking away from his Ohio hotel after a night celebrating his wife's birthday. While Chance Engelbert walked away from his wife's grandparent's home after an argument. There has been no sign of either man, leaving their family with no closure. What happened to them?

Missing Corinna Slusser & Human Trafficking

Missing Corinna Slusser & Human Trafficking

The months before Corinna Slusser turned 19 were rocky, to say the least. It was 2017, she wasn’t getting along with her mom, she dropped out of high school right before graduation and she had a failed suicide attempt that landed her in the hospital.   While she was in the hospital, she met a man who would ultimately change the course of her life forever. Corinna left all of her belongings behind.  Taking only the clothes she was wearing, her phone and her ID, she headed to New York City in August 2017 with this man to follow her dreams. Corinna began escorting and working for various pimps before she vanished completely in September, 2017. Those who saw her last are quick to say she ran off, but police believe something much more sinister happened and that she became a victim of human trafficking. In this episode we discuss Corinna's disappearance and the prevalence of sex trafficking in the USA.  We also chat about the news that has had us all gripped this week -  the cases of runaway teen Madison Bell and the shocking murder of Alejandro Ripley.  Be sure to check out our blog for a timeline of Corinna’s disappearance plus screenshots of now deleted social media from those involved.
