She Never Made It To Her Fiancé // Morgan Patten

On November 8, 2019, 24-year-old Morgan Patten traveled 13 hours to Jacksonville, North Carolina, to visit her fiancé. She made it to Jacksonville, but never made it to see her fiancé. Instead, she ended up in a truck with two Marines she didn’t know…and within hours, she was dead on a dark and desolate road.  Officials called it a drunk-driving accident. Morgan’s parents say the evidence tells a different story. In this episode, Margot pieces together Morgan’s final hours. We explore security footage, bar receipts, and text messages exchanged between the two Marines, Hunter Wells and Charles Cornwall. We explore disturbing inconsistencies in the investigation, forensic red flags, unexplained DNA, and the question at the heart of this case: How did Morgan end up in that truck? For six years, Morgan’s parents have carried the burden of uncovering the truth. They have funded their own investigators, hired forensic experts, and fought to have evidence released for independent testing. Their search has uncovered shocking details that have never before been publicly unpacked in this way. If you know something about that night… it’s time to come forward. 👉 Morgan’s GoFundMe for independent DNA testing: https://gofund.me/55ec4c4f0 👉 More about Morgan’s Miles to Go Foundation: https://www.morgansmilestogo.com/ ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free?

In 1976, 35-year-old mother of two, Edwina Marter, was taken from her Mississippi home by a man demanding ransom. What began as a chilling kidnapping for money soon became one of the state’s longest-running death penalty cases. The man responsible was Vietnam veteran Richard Gerald Jordan. He would spend nearly five decades fighting his conviction, as the case wound through courts and appeals until it finally ended in the summer of 2025. Join Margot as she revisits the shocking crime, the man behind it, and the long, tangled road to justice. ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free? Join the True Crime Army Club!

Tiffany Hill lived in constant fear because she was a victim of domestic abuse. In November 2019, her estranged husband, Keland Hill, was released on bail—even though his risk of committing domestic violence homicide was alarmingly high. He was a walking red flag. Just five days later, he killed Tiffany and then took his own life. In this episode, we cover Tiffany’s story, the investigation, and how her tragic death inspired the Tiffany Hill Act—a law that allows judges to require GPS monitoring for high-risk abusers, alerting victims and law enforcement if the offender enters their zone of protection. Let’s honor Tiffany’s memory and continue pushing for similar laws nationwide. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org for confidential help. ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free?

Tina Heins was 15 weeks pregnant when she was slaughtered in her home, while her husband was on duty. Tina’s brother-in-law, Chad Heins, was home during the murder and was awakened when the fire alarm blared - leading him to discover various small fires in the home. He rushed to get Tina, only to discover she had been murdered. Without much evidence, Chad was charged, convicted and sentenced to life in prison for Tina’s murder (in addition to sexual assault). In 2007, Chad was officially exonerated. But Tina’s murder remained unsolved, until an arrest was made in September 2025!  It was an arrest that shocked everyone. That man is now pending trial in the state of Florida. His name is Michael Ziegler.  Dig in with Margot as she tells you this cold case (almost) solved. Remember - all persons are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. . ⸻ 🎧Need More to Bing?

Tara Grinstead disappeared from her house in October 2005. The investigation led authorities to various suspects over the years, but sadly, Tara’s case went ice cold. Then in 2016, a budding filmmaker (Payne Lindsey) decided to investigate the case in season 1 of his true crime podcast, Up and Vanished. The podcast was a hit and by early 2017, GBI released a statement, they had made an arrest in Tara Grinstead’s case. 10 days later, another arrest. The alleged perpetrators? Ryan Duke and Bo Dukes - no relationship to each other, despite the similar last names. After the two men confessed to their part in Tara’s disappearance, the case seemed pretty cut and dry, until one of the men took the stand in his own defense and flipped the script. Dig in with Margot as she tells you this most bizarre case that although solved, will leave you asking, Who Killed Tara Grinstead? ⸻ 🎧Need More to Bing?
