Tyler Weathersby disappeared after behaving strangely the night prior

Daniel Robinson disappeared from the desert in Buckeye, Arizona in June 2021.  He remains missing to this day.  In the weeks leading up to his disappearance, Daniel had been acting unusually.  He visited his sister and didn't utter a word during the whole visit.  He spoke to his friends about wanting to rest and about miracles.  He met a woman named Katelyn (he was her instacart shopper) and became infatuated with her.  Their 'relationship' culminated in Katelyn asking Daniel to leave her alone.  The final message he sent to Katelyn was "The world can get better, but I’ll have to take all the time I can or we can, whatever to name it. I’ll either see you again or never see you again." Daniel's Jeep was found wrecked a few weeks after he disappeared.  The clothes he had been wearing were found in the car, along with his keys, phone and wallet.  Investigators downloaded the black box from the car and found that someone had attempted to start it FORTY FOUR times following the last accident.  There had also been a prior accident that caused the airbags to deploy, and the car had been driven at least 11 miles following that crash. During the search for Daniel, a human skull was found in the area near his Jeep.  This turned out to be unrelated to Daniel's case. Daniel's family are calling for his case to be reclassified as an 'endangered missing person'.  This will enable them to further the investigation with warrants.

Join us for the next episode of the True Crime Society podcast where we talk about the disappearance and death of Jelani Day. TW - We discuss graphic autopsy results in this episode.  Jelani Day was a 25 y/o man who went missing in August this year from Bloomington, IL.  He was last seen on CCTV on August 24.   His car was found abandoned in an unusual spot on August 26 - the keys were missing and the car's license plates had been removed. A body was pulled from the Illinois River in early September, and it was identified later that month as Jelani.   Since Jelani has been recovered, multiple autopsies have been conducted. The Chicago Sun-Times released an article that contained graphic details: - Jelani's jawbone had allegedly been 'sawed' out. - His liver, spleen and brain were unaccounted for. - His genitalia was said to be 'flayed'.  Jelani's cause of death has literally just been confirmed - the LaSalle County Coroner has said that he drowned.  His family dispute that this was suicide or an accident.   We discuss Jelani's disappearance, death and the investigation following in this episode.   We have mixed it up and our case updates are now at the end of the episode, so stay tuned after Jelani's story.   This week's updates: - We are sick of the Brian/ Gabby conspiracy theories and click bait. We discuss all of our thoughts on the latest in the Gabby Petito case. (48:40) - Aussie toddler Cleo Smith is still missing. Could this really be a stranger abduction? We may do a whole episode on her. Stay tuned! (1:02:35) - The odd COD for the Chung-Gerrish family has been released and it's Olivia's hill to die on. (1:05:45) - Missing executive Jake Cefolia's remains have been found.

In this episode we start off with a brief Brian Laundrie/ Gabby Petito update before talking about the recent murders of 19-year-old Miya Marcano and baby Neveah Allen. Miya was murdered by a maintenance worker at her apartment complex and Neveah was murdered by her mother and stepfather who tried to fake an abduction. Then, we talk about the murder that changed reality tv casting forever. Ryan Jenkins, who starred in the early 2000s shows 'Megan Wants a Millionaire' and 'I Love Money,' murdered his wife Jasmine Fiore - who he had only met a few months prior. Jasmine had to be identified by her breast implant serial number due to her teeth and finger tips being removed. This is a crazy story that ends with a shocking twist.  And, we read some interesting FindAGrave comments - because who even leaves comments on FindAGrave?

On September 11th, 22-year-old Gabby Petito was reported missing by her family after not hearing from her since the end of August. Gabby was on a cross country road trip and vlogging living out of a van with her fiance, Brian Laundrie. It wasn't strange for her to be out of service for small stretches of time, but the silence had gone too long. After she was reported missing, investigators discovered Brian returned to his Florida family home with the couple's van but without Gabby. Brian and his family immediately hired an attorney and gave no information about Gabby's whereabouts. The couple was last known to be visiting Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, which is where investigators began their search. On September 17th, Brian's parents arranged to meet with police - but it wasn't to discuss Gabby. They hadn't seen Brian for 3 days and wanted to report him missing.  The manhunt for Brian began and the search for Gabby continued until her remains were discovered in a remote area of the national park on September 19th. Her death was determined to be a homicide. Brian remains missing. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

First, we go over the latest updates in regard to the murder of Gannon Stouch. New details were revealed during his step mother's preliminary hearing. Then we talk about NXIVM, an MLM turned full-blown cult that blackmailed their members into having sex with founder Keith Raniere. Some women were even BRANDED with his initials. In 2018, Keith and his associate, Smallville actress Allison Mack, were arrested and indicted on federal sex trafficking charges after a handful of victims came forward. We go over everything leading up to that moment. We also discuss tips to identify a cult and whether or not modern day MLMs should be considered cults. **Trigger warning: sex abuse** Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

In this episode we first talk about more updates from Barry Morphew's trial and the recent searches for Crystal Rogers, who went missing in 2015.  After hearing the horrific story of Matthew Coleman, who murdered his two children with a fishing spear gun after crossing the border into Mexico last month - we decided to do an episode on Deadly Dads. Join us as we jump into the mix of Australian and American deadly dads.  Along with Matthew Coleman we discuss: Henry Shepherdson strapped his baby daughter Kobi into her carrier on his chest.  He then stepped off a huge wall, plunging them both to their deaths. John Edwards had a history of domestic violence and abuse.  Yet, his request for a gun license was still approved.  He drove to his ex-wife's house and shot their two children as they cowered under a desk.  Who failed the Edwards family? Aziz Yazdanpanah dressed up as Santa to hand out gifts to his family on Christmas Day.  He then turned a gun on them all and himself.  Rowan Baxter - a psycho who poured petrol his estranged wife and their children as they sat in their vehicle.  He then stabbed himself to death. Why do these men snap and kill their whole families?  Revenge, jealousy or mental illness?   Check out our blog on these cases - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2021/08/31/deadly-dads/ Wanna buy us a coffee (or a vodka, wine, margarita etc)? - https://ko-fi.com/truecrimesociety Thank you as always for listening!
