The Sodder house children is a super weird one. Seems pretty clear cut on the surface but digging deeper just gets very strange. Buzzfeed unsolved did a good video on it. Here’s the link.

This one is the reason I walk around upstairs checking shite out before bed almost every single night. Heard about it a few years ago and spooked me the hell out.

I haven't gone through all pages of this thread so it may already have been mentioned, but I've always wondered about the Margaret Penny case.

I knew her in law school and have always wondered who murdered and why. HL Arledge devotes several chapters in his book, Bayou Justice to this cold case, but never definitively solves it.

Was told by a Private Investigator one time that a good majority of people missing.,. Purposely left home and sometime not even as far as down the street from home ... just done with their old life... I can’t imagine that but hell what do I know

Portland case from 1991? If so that's ironic, I was watching channels on youtube who do in depth 10-20 minute true crime documentaries on subjects like these. That case was mentioned, and I paid a little more attention cause I live here now.

Also, here's the audio of his 911 call, the contents of which is heavily debated. LINK


Brandon Lawson

Went down the trail. To me after getting the headphones. I think he said I screwed some guys over and ran into them. They are chasing me in the field. It's hard to tell.

Other comments are state troopers pulled someone over and can you send some guys over.

Seems they happen to be traveling the road when he was stranded and went for revenge on a drug deal or something.

Yes, the murder of O.J.'s ex wife and Ron Goldman. Every day I wonder who is the real killer. O.J. is still looking for the killer, apparently O.J. thinks the killer hangs out at golf courses.

The whole Missing 411 disappearance deal is spooky in a lot of ways.

The culpable podcast is pretty damn convincing in regards to the Meridan police covering up a murder.


Do you listen to the "Without Warning" podcast as well? Someone just told me about it, but it breaks down parts of this case that would have been too much for them to do in The Culpable podcast.

Can’t believe they haven’t caught the guy yet. 8 murders and they’ve got to have a lot of evidence. Otherwise this guy is a criminal mastermind.


It’s not one guy. Frankie killed 3-4 of them and various other men killed the others. Def one deputy but maybe one or two more were even involved. Hard to solve a crime when the people committing the crimes are the investigators or covering for Frankie. Hell the damn state police are involved in covering it up so drugs can be sold. If anybody ever cracked it law enforcement state wide would be fricked.

Yes. And not to mention, it would be very hard to believe there was any type of mastermind within the group of people who were all involved. There was too much connecting those girls that if an independent investigation was done, it would be hard NOT to solve the case.

Brian Shaffer - 2006
Brian was a 26 year old med student who was planning to propose to his longtime girlfriend. Goes out to a bar to celebrate with a few of his buddies. Camera facing the bar entrance shows Brian outside the door a few minutes before closing time, before he heads back inside for final call. No one has seen him since.
Police were able to account for everyone that left the front of the bar using the security footage. The service exit at the back of the bar was blocked off due to construction and had motion activated cameras inside. Really weird case, could see both ways where he wasn’t ready for his new life and found a way to disappear and make it appear something happened to him, or that he never left the bar standing.

My great grandfather was murdered in North Louisiana about 40 years ago, someone hit him over the head with a piece of firewood.

It was never solved.

Has bothered me all my life.

Rumored that he was giving a young women of color money (probably for the sexy time) and her husband/boyfriend may have done it.

Not trying to make light of that.

But my buddy had an uncle in his 70’s that got killed in the 1970’s by the jealous husband of his 40 year old lady friend. He was white and she was black and I’m sure there was money involved as well. We always joked that’s how we wanted to go. Shot by the jealous husband of a much younger woman.

Robert Durst killed my neighbor Morris Black in Galveston, chopped him up and threw him off the sea wall. I was 7, we moved shortly afterwards.

Portland case from 1991?


Different case - this was in Covington, Louisiana where she was murdered in February, 1987.

I knew her as Margaret Penny in law school, but she went by Margaret Coon when she was murdered while jogging in the early morning in the Beau Chene subdivision.

Sorry for the confusion.

Yea I’ve read about this case as well. Only thing I can think of is he somehow exited the front by the cameras and he was blocked by someone else perfectly where they just couldn’t see him and was killed somehow but even those circumstances are hard to believe. frick idk.How else can you explain never seeing someone come out after they went in? They searched the bar up and down. Where the hell could he have gone? If someone killed him in the bar. Footage would show somebody coming out with a bag or something with his cut up body in it. Strange
