On July 9, 2014, a man in a FedEx uniform knocked on the door of a house in Sprint, Texas. Minutes later, six members of the Stay family were dead but one was not. The intruder however, didn't know this. 15-year-old Cassidy played d**d, waited for the man to leave, and then called 911.
 
This single act of courage prevented ever further family deaths.
 
None of this though would have happened if this man wasn't free to do what he wanted. Years of domestic abuse orders, years of falling through the cracks, all led up to this moment.

They Knew He Was Innocent - and Framed Him Anyway | The Story of Pete Coones

On April 7, 2008, Kathleen and Carl Schroll were found shot to death in their Kansas City, Kansas home. Within hours, a man named Pete Coones was arrested—and within months, he was sentenced to life in prison. What followed was more than a wrongful conviction. It was a case that exposed the deep cracks in a justice system where evidence was buried, witnesses were manipulated, and police were protected by silence.

[TRUE CRIME] Finding Mary Day: The Cold Case that Shocked America

In July 1981, 13-year-old Mary Louise Day vanished from her family’s home in Seaside, California.
No one filed a police report. No missing posters. Not even a phone call to the local station. Her name wasn't even allowed to be mentioned in the household.
For more than two decades, she was missing. And then, in 2003, a woman claiming to be Mary appeared in Arizona.
Was she really the missing girl, or part of an elaborate cover-up?
In this episode of Beach House 34, we untangle one of the strangest true crime cases in American history—a case filled with a missing child, a stepfather, a mother who couldn't or wouldn't keep track of her own children, mysteries things buried in the yard and more.

Between 2005 and 2009, eight women were found dead in the swamps and canals surrounding Jennings, Louisiana. These murders, known as the Jennings 8 or the Jeff Davis 8 case, remain unsolved, despite years of investigation and mounting evidence of corruption within local law enforcement. In this episode, we dive deep into the mystery, exploring the connections between the victims, the shady characters who surrounded them, and the explosive allegations that have haunted this small bayou town for nearly 20 years.

Skidmore's Bully - Ken Rex McElroy

🎧 Patreon (Ad-Free & Uncensored Episodes):

On July 10, 1981, in the tiny town of Skidmore, Missouri, a man climbed into his pickup truck along with his wife and then...shot in broad daylight in front of dozens of witnesses. The man was Ken Rex McElroy, a local terror with a long rap sheet, a history of violence, and a reputation for evading justice. After it was over, no one called for help. No one admitted to seeing the shooter. No one was ever charged.
 
In this episode, we take you through the chilling events of that day, the decades of intimidation that led up to it, and the silence that followed. Was this murder—or vigilante justice? What happens when a community feels abandoned by the legal system and takes matters into its own hands?

Missy Bevers' Killer is Still Out There

On April 18, 2016, 45-year-old Missy Bevers arrived at a Midlothian, Texas church to lead her early morning fitness class. Within the hour, she was dead. Surveillance cameras captured a suspect in police-style tactical gear roaming the halls — but nine years later, her killer has never been identified or arrested.
In this episode of Beach House 34, we walk through the full timeline of Missy’s final hours, the chilling security footage, and the strange behavior of the person who appeared to be waiting for her. We’ll explore the theories, the cell phone evidence, the suspicious vehicle, and the people closest to Missy — including a recent 2024 interview with her husband, Brandon Bevers.
Was this a random burglary gone wrong… or something deeply personal?

The Ouija Board Made Me Do It

💬 Have you used a Ouija board or one of the apps? Tell us your story in the comments.
 
In this episode, you'll hear about an object that has fascinated and terrified people for generations: the Ouija Board and the crimes that this board encouraged people to commit.
 
You'll hear about the dark history and infamous cases linked to the Ouija board—from its spiritualist roots after the Civil War to its transformation into a pop culture icon (and alleged gateway to evil), we explore real-life stories where the board played a central role in shocking crimes, bizarre behaviors, and even courtroom drama.
 
Hear about the 1933 case of Mattie Turley, who claimed the board told her to kill her father; the chilling 2001 murder involving Carol Sue Elvaker; the bizarre story of a 16-year-old satanist; the AWOL Army intelligence officers guided by Ouija messages; and the infamous “Zozo” demon legend.
 
Plus, we look at how modern apps carry the board's spirit (or curse) into the digital age.
 
Are these stories proof of supernatural influence, or just tragic excuses? Listen with an open but skeptical mind—and decide for yourself.

No New Episode This Week 😷 (Here's Why…)

Hey everyone – just a quick update to say there’s no full episode this week. I had to go to a root canal specialist - (yep… fun times 😬), and I needed a bit of recovery time. Thank you so much for your patience—I’ll be back next week with a new episode. Stay curious—and stay kind. 💛
