Amy Allwine: The Plot That Started Online

On a quiet Sunday morning in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, Stephen Allwine returned home from church and made a call no one ever expects to make.

His wife, Amy, had been shot in the basement of their home.

There were no shattered windows. No forced entry. No obvious sign of a struggle. Just a stunned husband, a nine-year-old son upstairs, and a tragedy that felt sudden and impossible.

In this episode, we unravel a case that weaves together the dark web, cryptocurrency, hidden identities, and the dangerous illusion of anonymity. What begins as a possible home invasion slowly transforms into something far more deliberate — and far more calculated.

How do digital breadcrumbs expose secrets people believe are untraceable?

How long can someone live two separate lives without them colliding?

And what happens when a plan made in the shadows doesn’t unfold the way it was supposed to?

This is the story of Amy Allwine.

And the plot that started online.
