Three young sisters - Paityn, Evelyn, and Olivia Decker - were tragically murdered during a court-ordered visitation with their father, Travis Decker, who is now the subject of an ongoing manhunt.

In this episode, we walk through the timeline of events, the court documents leading up to their disappearance, and the heartbreaking discovery at a remote campground in Washington. We also explore the broader questions raised by this case: why wasn’t an Amber Alert issued? Could more robust mental health support for veterans have prevented this tragedy?

Their mother, Whitney Decker, is now calling for urgent reform - and her strength in the face of unimaginable loss is inspiring calls for change.

On July 9, 2024, 2-year-old Parker Scholtes was left in a hot car for nearly three hours in the Arizona sun. Her father, Chris Scholtes, claimed it was a tragic mistake - but surveillance footage and witness statements tell a very different story.

In this episode, we break down the heartbreaking death of Parker Scholtes, the timeline inconsistencies in Chris Scholtes’ account, and the evidence that led to his arrest and upgraded charge of first-degree murder. We also explore the warning signs and past patterns of neglect that may have foreshadowed this tragedy - and why so many people believe Parker’s death was entirely preventable.

You’ll also learn about the broader issue of pediatric vehicular heatstroke, the risks of leaving children in hot cars, and practical tips to help prevent these deaths.

Content warning: This episode includes discussion of child abuse allegations and attempted suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

➡️ Trial Update: Chris Scholtes has pleaded not guilty. His trial is currently scheduled for Fall 2025. I’ll be following the case and will share updates as they become available.

🕊️ Parker’s story matters. Let’s make sure she’s not forgotten.

Alonzo Brooks was just 23 years old when he attended a rural house party near La Cygne, Kansas, on April 3, 2004. By the end of the night, all of his friends had left, and Alonzo found himself stranded an hour from home. He was never seen alive again.

Nearly a month later, Alonzo’s body was found near the farmhouse, raising disturbing questions about why multiple searches had failed to locate him sooner. His family has spent two decades seeking justice and fighting the silence of a community unwilling to speak up.

In this episode, we carefully examine the troubling circumstances around Alonzo’s disappearance, the flawed initial investigation, and why the FBI reopened his case as a potential hate crime. Alonzo’s story shines a light on systemic failures, racial injustice, and the powerful silence that can surround suspicious deaths.

📌 If you have any information about the death of Alonzo Brooks, please contact:

• FBI at (816) 512-8200 or (816) 474-TIPS
• Submit an online tip at https://tips.fbi.gov
