Sylvia Browne | America's Favorite Psychic

Sylvia Browne | America's Favorite Psychic

Sylvia Browne made a name for herself in the true crime world on talk shows, giving psychic readings to the families of the missing and the murdered. But an evaluation of her success rate shows that she was probably just guessing and she wasn’t that good of a guesser.

William and Mary Patterson | Without A Trace

William and Mary Patterson | Without A Trace

This week, in the spirit of October, we are covering a mysterious unsolved case from the 1950s. I have some really heavy cases coming up and thought we could use a little breather before diving in.  In 1957, William and Margaret Patterson disappeared without a trace. Even their families couldn’t agree what happened to them. The theories have evolved and changed in the last 64 years but the case remains unsolved.  Want more true crime content?
