British woman Grace Millane (21) had the world at her feet. She had just graduated university and was taking a year off to travel the world. After spending weeks in South America, Grace arrived in New Zealand in November 2018. She enjoyed meeting the locals and making new friends.

In late November 2018, Grace matched on Tinder with a man named Jesse Kempson and the two decided to meet up. They enjoyed visiting some bars and restaurants in Auckland. The two hit it off and Grace decided to return to Jesse’s place for the night. She was last seen getting out of an elevator in his apartment complex and was never seen again. Jesse murdered Grace that night.

Over the coming hours, Jesse made internet searches including "rigor mortis", "extra large bags" and "carpet cleaner". He also went on another Tinder date that had been previously planned, while Grace’s body was in his room.

Jesse would end up confessing to Grace’s murder and has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years.

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)

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.
