Finding a body in a suitcase is a typical true crime cliche - but how often does it really happen and what circumstances prompt someone to hide a body in a suitcase?  In this episode, we discuss the cases of Jessica Lewis & Austin Wenner, Karlie Pearce-Stevenson and her daughter Khandalyce, and Valerie Reyes - all homicide victims whose remains were found in suitcases.

The last known sighting of Michael Shaver was in November 2015. It took over two years for friends and family to realize he was missing because someone was responding to his messages and updating his social media pretending to be him. He didn't seem like himself and in February 2018 a friend called for a wellness check on him. Police went to his home and found his wife, Laurie Shaver, who told police she hadn't seen him for years. Well, a few months later police found Michael Shaver's body buried under a cement fire pit in the backyard of the home he once shared with Laurie. As cut & dry as this case seems, it still remains unsolved. Story Begins: 18:52 Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

While hiking in Big Cypress National Preserve, two friends stumbled upon an emaciated man's remains in a tent along the trail. The man had no identification, no cell phone, no bank cards and didn't come up in any of the police's databases. After releasing a composite sketch of the man, a handful of fellow hikers, hostel proprietors and trail angels came forward saying they met this man along his journey from NY to FL. They knew stories about him and even had photos of him, but they only knew him as "Denim" or "Mostly Harmless" - his trail names. It seemed like no one knew his true identity and that was they way he wanted it. It's been 2 years since Mostly Harmless's remains were found in July 2017 and he has yet to be identified. The Collier County Sheriff's Office hasn't given up and is pursuing genealogy testing in hopes to locate a relative. But, if Mostly Harmless went to such great lengths to conceal his identity, do we have the right to identify him?

To anyone looking in, the Todts seemed like the perfect family. Megan and Tony Todt, both successful physical therapists, lived in Celebration, Florida - a picturesque community created by the Walt Disney Company, with their three children. While the family could be seen smiling in matching Christmas pajamas on social media - a dark secret loomed over them. Unbeknownst to Megan, Tony was being federally investigated for committing health insurance fraud to cover their astronomical debt. In December 2019, Tony (*allegedly*) snapped and murdered Megan, their children and even their family dog. He then remained inside their home with the bodies for days creating a web of lies to cover his tracks. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TrueCrimeSociety)

On April 13th, 2011, 20-year-old Holly Bobo spent her morning studying for an exam she'd never take. She'd pack her things, grab her lunch and walk out the door - only to cross paths with a strange man dressed in camouflage.  Holly was last seen by her brother, who caught a glimpse of her through the window, walking into the woods with who he thought was her boyfriend.  From there, what happened to Holly would remain a mystery for nearly 6 years. A handful of men were arrested for Holly's abduction, rape and murder, but not everyone believes the right men are behind bars. In this episode, we go over what happened at Zach Adams' murder trial and discuss other theories as to what may have happened to Holly.
