THE GIRL SCOUT MURDERS
In June 1977, a summer camp in rural Oklahoma became the site of a crime that would shock the nation and forever change how institutions think about safety. During the first overnight session at Camp Scott, three Girl Scouts were murdered, turning a place meant for learning and friendship into the center of an unresolved tragedy. This episode examines the events surrounding that night, the investigation that followed, and the legal proceedings that left the case without definitive resolution. We explore how evidence was gathered, why the case proved so difficult to prosecute, and how the aftermath reshaped public trust in systems designed to protect children. Nearly five decades later, the murders at Camp Scott remain unsolved — a case defined not only by loss, but by the unanswered questions that still linger.

THE murder in CABIN 28
In April 1981, a quiet cabin community in Northern California became the site of one of the most disturbing unsolved crimes in American history. Inside a small mountain cabin, three people were brutally murdered while several children slept unharmed in nearby rooms. This episode examines what is known about the night of the murders, the early investigation, and the critical mistakes that may have permanently altered the course of the case. We explore how violence in familiar spaces reshapes communities, why some crimes resist resolution, and how unanswered questions continue to linger decades later. The Keddie Cabin Murders remain unsolved — a case defined not only by what happened, but by what was lost in the aftermath.

the mysterious death of rey rivera
In May of 2006, Rey Rivera was found dead inside Baltimore’s historic Belvedere building — beneath a hole in the roof that investigators could not clearly explain. His death was ultimately ruled undetermined, leaving behind questions that have never been resolved. In this episode of The Wanted Files, we examine who Rey Rivera was before he became a mystery, the unexplained phone call that prompted him to leave his home for the last time, and the scene at the Belvedere that defied simple conclusions. We explore the physical evidence, the note found in Rey’s home, the limits of the autopsy findings, and the investigative gaps that have kept this case suspended between theories. Rather than offering speculation, this episode focuses on what is known — and why that knowledge stops short of certainty. Rey Rivera’s case is not just about how someone died, but about how ambiguity, silence, and unanswered questions can linger long after an investigation ends.​
TRANSPARENCY NOTE:
The full autopsy report for Rey Rivera has not been publicly released. Medical findings referenced in this episode are based on official summaries reported by multiple reputable outlets. ​Rey Rivera’s manner of death remains undetermined.

The Tylenol Murders
In the fall of 1982, seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Extra-Strength Tylenol that had been tampered with and laced with cyanide. The deaths appeared unconnected at first, unfolding across different towns and households, until investigators realized they were facing a crime unlike anything they had encountered before. This episode of The Wanted Files follows the case in strict chronological order — from the first unexplained death, through the devastating realization that an everyday product had been weaponized, to the massive recall that followed. We examine how the poisonings were discovered, why the investigation proved nearly impossible to resolve, and how the absence of a traditional crime scene allowed the person responsible to disappear. Rather than focusing on speculation or unproven suspects, this episode explores the psychological and systemic impact of a crime built on randomness — one that permanently changed how consumers think about safety, trust, and risk.  More than four decades later, no one has been held accountable. 
Transparency Note:  (These concepts are drawn from peer-reviewed psychology and criminology literature, not pop psychology.) Psychological analysis in this episode is based on established research into risk perception, uncertainty, and collective trauma — not speculation about the individual responsible.

The Disappearance and Death of Suzanne Morphew
On Mother’s Day 2020, Suzanne Morphew vanished from her home in Chaffee County, Colorado. In the years that followed, investigators built a largely circumstantial case against her husband Barry, charges were filed and then dismissed, Suzanne’s remains were discovered, and Barry was later re-indicted. In this episode, we walk through the full timeline, key evidence, shifting legal decisions, and what this evolving case reveals about circumstantial prosecutions, “proof beyond a reasonable doubt,” and the limits of what the justice system can say about what really happened.
Transparency Note: Many evidentiary claims referenced in this episode originate from probable cause affidavits and pretrial motions, not jury verdicts. Charges against Barry Morphew were dismissed without prejudice in 2022 and re-filed in 2025.  Suzanne Morphew’s death has been ruled a homicide by undetermined means.

The ardlamont mystery
In 1893, a wealthy young heir named Windsor Dudley Cecil Hambrough traveled to Ardlamont House on Scotland’s west coast for what was meant to be a quiet shooting holiday. He never came home. Hambrough was found dead under suspicious circumstances, and the men around him—especially Alfred John Monson and a servant known as Edward Scott (also reported under other names)—became the center of a national obsession. The case unraveled into a courtroom drama shaped by class, reputation, and the limits of Victorian-era evidence. In the end, the verdict left the story hanging in one of Scotland’s most haunting legal outcomes: “not proven.” More than a century later, the Ardlamont mystery still raises the same questions—who was lying, what was hidden, and why the truth never fully surfaced.

the setagya murders
On the night of December 30, 2000, in a quiet neighborhood bordering a public park in Setagaya, Tokyo, the Miyazawa family was attacked in their home. Mikio, Yasuko, and their children, Niina and Rei, were murdered with staggering violence — and yet what followed was even more disturbing. The killer lingered inside the house for hours. He ate their food, used their bathroom, changed clothes, and left behind fingerprints, DNA, fibers, blood, and even the clothes on his back. Despite this wealth of evidence, he has never been identified. This episode walks listeners through the timeline of the crime, the forensic clues left behind, and the psychological portrait experts believe the killer unintentionally revealed. We examine major theories, including personal motive, random escalation, and the chilling possibility of an unknown connection. We also explore why the police believe this case is solvable — even now — and why the Miyazawa family remains central to Japan’s most baffling modern mystery. This is a case about violence, silence, and the footprints left behind by someone who should have been easy to find, but wasn’t.

THE YUBA COUNTY FIVE
In February 1978, five young men from Yuba County vanished on a simple drive home — and for months, no one knew where they’d gone. When spring melt finally revealed their abandoned car, a hidden Forest Service trailer, and four bodies scattered across the Sierra Nevada, the mystery only deepened. This episode examines the final known hours of the Yuba County Five, their close-knit bond, the disorienting path into the mountains, and the heartbreaking discoveries made after the thaw. We explore investigative failures, psychological dynamics, theories old and new, and the families’ belief that the boys may have been lured off course. Forty-five years later, one man is still missing. The truth remains obscured by winter, wilderness, and time. What happened to the Yuba County Five…still remains Wanted.

The life and death of bob crane 
​
When Hogan’s Heroes star Bob Crane was found murdered in his Scottsdale apartment in 1978, Hollywood reeled.
The charming TV icon, once adored for his wit and charisma, had been living a double life — one documented in hundreds of private tapes that blurred the line between fame, voyeurism, and addiction. Nearly five decades later, the case remains unsolved. Through interviews, forensic details, and psychological insight, A.C. Roberts explores not just who might have killed Bob Crane — but how the hunger to be seen can consume everything it touches. The Murder of Bob Crane examines where celebrity ends… and humanity begins.

los feliz murder house
On a cold December morning in 1959, the Perelson family’s Los Feliz mansion became the stage for one of Los Angeles’ most chilling domestic tragedies. Dr. Harold Perelson bludgeoned his wife, Lillian, as she slept, struck his teenage daughter when she tried to intervene, and then ended his own life with an overdose — leaving his surviving children traumatized and their hillside home forever scarred. But what happened next turned the house into something larger than a crime scene. For more than fifty years, the property sat shuttered, its belongings left inside, transforming it into a cultural myth: the “Murder Mansion.” Urban explorers whispered of furniture and magazines left untouched, tour buses added it to their routes, and the legend of a house frozen in time grew. In this episode, we go beyond the folklore. We look at Harold’s financial collapse, the psychology of family annihilation, and the decades of fascination that made this house one of Los Angeles’ most infamous addresses. Was the home really haunted — or was it memory, myth, and a tragedy that never let go?

In the remote wilds of Canada’s Nahanni Valley, they call it the Valley of Headless Men. A place so rugged and eerie, even seasoned explorers feared to enter. For over a century, prospectors and travelers who ventured into the valley have vanished or been found dead…some missing their heads entirely. Was it the work of man, nature, or something much older than both?

the death of marilyn monroe
Marilyn Monroe was more than a Hollywood starlet — she was an icon, a myth, and a woman whose life was as scrutinized as her death. On the night of August 4, 1962, she placed strange phone calls, her mood shifting between hope and despair. Hours later, she was found lifeless in her Brentwood bedroom. Pill bottles lay by her bed, but no glass of water was nearby. The autopsy ruled a barbiturate overdose, yet questions linger: no pills in her stomach, conflicting witness accounts, delays in calling police, and rumors of a body that may have been moved. In this crossover with Erin Carlson of Stars of the Golden Age, we trace Marilyn’s final day and revisit the theories that surround her death — accidental overdose, suicide, conspiracy, even political silencing. We also examine the psychology behind her struggles with identity, trauma, and fame, and how her death became myth before truth was ever settled.

THE HALL-MILLS MURDERS
On September 16, 1922, a grisly discovery shook the quiet town of New Brunswick, New Jersey. Beneath a crabapple tree lay the bodies of Reverend Edward Hall and choir singer Eleanor Mills — a priest and his secret lover. The scene was chillingly deliberate: Hall shot in the head, Mills with her throat savagely slashed, her love letters torn and scattered across the grass. A century later, the Hall–Mills murders remain unsolved. Were they victims of a jealous wife and her brothers? Was it a family conspiracy, or an outsider seeking vengeance? What is clear is that the murders were more than violence — they were theater. A crime meant to humiliate, to punish, to expose.

Mafia, murder, and mystery
In mid-20th-century New York, power didn’t always come from City Hall or Wall Street. It came from the Mafia. The Five Families that carved the city into territories, controlled industries, and silenced rivals with calculated acts of violence. Some of those acts became legend. Albert Anastasia, gunned down in a hotel barbershop. Joseph Colombo, shot at his own civil rights rally. Johnny Roselli, strangled and stuffed in a barrel that floated in Biscayne Bay. Carmine Galante, murdered in a Brooklyn garden with his cigar still sitting between his teeth. Paul Castellano, executed on a Midtown sidewalk. Each of these killings was bold, theatrical, and unforgettable, and yet, all of them remain officially unsolved.

the bizarre death of blair adams
In July 1996, 31-year-old Blair Adams left his home in British Columbia and began a frantic, unexplained journey across North America. He crossed borders, withdrew large amounts of cash and valuables, and told friends someone was trying to kill him. Days later, Blair was found dead, half-naked, surrounded by money, in an empty parking lot in Knoxville, Tennessee. No suspects. No clear motive. No answers. Was Blair running from a real threat… or from the shadows of his own mind? In this episode of The Wanted Files, we follow the chilling trail of paranoia and unanswered questions that make Blair Adams’ death one of the strangest unsolved cases in North America.

The woman without a face
She was called “The Woman Without a Face” or The Phantom of Heilbronn. For years, European police believed they were chasing a female serial killer whose DNA kept appearing at crime scenes across Germany, Austria, and France. The crimes were strange, and seemingly unconnected: burglaries, drug cases, thefts, even a police murder. Yet one profile linked them all: The Phantom of Heilbronn. But as the manhunt grew, so did the mystery. Who could move so easily between borders, and between crimes?

THE MURDER OF WILLIAM DESMOND TAYLOR
In 1922, film director William Desmond Taylor was found dead in his Los Angeles bungalow—a single bullet to the back, no sign of struggle, and no immediate suspects. What followed wasn’t justice. It was damage control. Studio executives arrived before the police. Letters disappeared. Evidence vanished. And three women—an actress, a starlet, and a controlling mother, were pulled into a tabloid storm that turned Hollywood on its head.
In this special crossover episode with Stars of the Golden Age, we examine one of early Hollywood’s most enduring mysteries: the life, secrets, and still-unsolved death of William Desmond Taylor. Because long before true crime was a genre, Hollywood was already writing its own.

 The tuam babies
In 2014, Irish historian Catherine Corless uncovered a devastating truth buried beneath a small patch of land in Tuam, County Galway: the remains of nearly 800 children interred beneath a former septic tank on the grounds of a Catholic-run mother and baby home.  The Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home operated from 1925 to 1961, taking in unmarried pregnant women and separating them from their babies, many of whom died under conditions of neglect, disease, or indifference. But what happened to those children after death remained unspoken... until now. In this episode of The Wanted Files, we examine the institutional silence, the cultural shame, and the systemic failures that allowed this mass burial to remain hidden for decades. And we follow the long, painful road toward accountability, justice, and proper remembrance.
