Our True Crime Podcast

In this special episode, Cam and Jen join forces with Ash from F**K That to unravel the haunting disappearance of Danielle Bell.

Fourteen-year-old Danielle Arion Bell went missing on Friday, September 28th, 2001, from a small town just outside of Pensacola, Florida.
She was last seen at a party in a house on Cedar Tree Lane before she seemingly vanished into thin air.

Her sister, Bonnie, has been advocating for her sister’s case for years, pushing local law enforcement to conduct a proper investigation, which they initially failed to do.

If you have any information regarding her disappearance, please contact the Escambia County Sheriff's Office at (850) 436-9620.

Don’t forget to check out Ash's podcast, F**k That. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

On a cold Saturday night in January 2007, 21-year-old Channon Christian and her boyfriend, 23-year-old Christopher Newsom, set out for a party. They never arrived. By the following afternoon, two families were desperately searching Knoxville, unaware that their children had crossed paths with a group of strangers whose actions would leave behind one of the most disturbing crime scenes Tennessee had ever witnessed. This is not simply a story about extraordinary cruelty. It is also the story of two deeply loved young people, the families who refused to stop fighting for them, and a pursuit of justice that would take more than a decade to complete.

Join Cam and Jen of Our True Crime Podcast as we discuss ‘Knoxville Nightmare: Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.’

Thank you to Mary and her partner for the request!

Picture an endless stretch of highway surrounded by thick forests where there's no cell service, and towns are hours apart. Back in July 2019, that quiet part of the Alaska Highway in Canada turned upside down when a young couple on a road trip were found shot in a ditch.

Before anyone even knew what was happening, it turned into a massive cross-country crime spree and a frantic nationwide search to track down the killers.

It was a quiet summer morning in Prospect, New South Wales, when a farmer noticed his cows gathered around something in his paddock. At first, he thought it was a mannequin.

Then he realized it was the naked body of a young woman.

She had been brutally attacked, but the worst injury was to her throat, which had been slashed so deeply the medical examiner described it as a “near decapitation.” Investigators believed she had been conscious when it happened. Investigators soon had a likely identity for the young woman, which would become one of Australia’s most heinous crimes.

Today, Cam and Jen are thrilled to share a special episode from our friends at The Final Trace, a true crime podcast that digs into chilling disappearances, cold cases, and mysteries that still leave us searching for answers.

You might remember Hopper from when he joined us on Our True Crime Podcast. We absolutely loved having him on, and we know you all did too! Hopper and his co-host, McKenzie, have built a great show together, and we want to make sure you get a chance to listen to it.

The episode you're about to hear covers the tragic story of Lisa McCracken.

Kind, outgoing, and only 19 years old, Lisa McCracken had her entire life ahead of her when she was murdered inside her North 6th Street apartment. For decades, her killer remained in the shadows while the case went cold. Science eventually brought the truth to light years later, but even a name couldn't answer every lingering question about what really happened.

Hopper and McKenzie release new episodes every True Crime Tuesday. Once you've listened, head over to your favorite podcast app, search for The Final Trace Podcast, and hit subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Jen and Cam will be back this Wednesday with another brand-new, listener-requested episode!
