In 1992, 12-year-old Shanda Sharer was finding her way growing up in Indiana. She dealt with bullying at school that would eventually escalate into one the most heinous murders in the state.

In January 1992, four girls between the ages of 15-17 decided "to teach Shanda a lesson." One of the girls, Melinda Loveless, was jealous of Shanda's new relationship.

The girls went to Shanda’s home late at night and convinced her to leave with them. Over the next several hours, they would torture, sexually assault and beat Shanda to the brink of death before setting her on fire with gasoline. They left her to die on the side of a road.

After the murder, the girls went to McDonald's and giggled because their breakfast sausages reminded them of Shanda's burnt body.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the horrific torture and murder of 12 year-old Shanda Sharer.

Home is where the body is

Home is where the body is

When someone is reported missing, it's generally safe to assume they're not in their house. Surely, the police or the family would have checked there already.  Except sometimes, after the headlines, the search parties, and the emotional public pleas from family members - that's exactly where the person turns up. In this episode, we cover a handful of cases where this phenomenon happened and the theories surrounding them. Julie Snyder, Molly Meghan Miller, and Christopher Woitel were all found dead in their homes after being reported missing and searched for.  Don't want to listen to the intro?

Moms Who Murder

Moms Who Murder

A mother is meant to be the ultimate protector of their children.  Sometimes though, they are perpetrators of the ultimate betrayal. In this episode we speak about four cases where mothers have taken the lives of their children, before killing themselves.  What could drive a woman to the edge like this? 1 – Michele Boudreau Deegan drugged her twin 7 y/o daughters before shooting them and then herself in the head 2 – Cynthia Collier fired 34 rounds into her four adopted teenage children, before taking her own life 3 – Kimbra Shanafelt and her 5 y/o daughter were found dead in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning 4 – Tristen Watson was pregnant when she took her toddler son into the Rocky Mountains National Park.  She shot him and then herself, and her unborn baby also passed away.

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

15-month-old Evelyn Boswell was reported missing on February 19th, 2020 by her grandfather, but she hadn't actually been seen since December 2019. I'm sure you're wondering - how does a missing baby go unreported for 2 months? Her mother, 18-year-old Megan Boswell, tried to explain during an interview, "Well, the reason I didn’t report it or anything was I knew the person who had her and I didn’t want them to run away with her. In a way, I knew that as soon as anything went down this person was going to disappear and they have." A month later, Evelyn's remains were found in a shed on a family member's property with her toys, clothes, and diapers. With a family full of felons pointing fingers at each other, investigators had a long road ahead of them - but ultimately they were able to make an arrest.
