Hey Cruel Coven! This episode is rather short and when you listen, we'll explain exactly why. Today, we're talking about the ongoing, unresolved missing case of Mary Johnson—a woman who disappeared from Washington State. Her family is asking if anyone has seen anyone who even slightly resembles Mary, or if they think they may have seen her, to please reach out to investigators. There is no possible lead that is too small. Please help us share the word about Mary and help her family get the answers they deserve.  From the FBI Website: If you have any information concerning the location of this individual, please call the FBI's Seattle Field Office at (206) 622-0460. You may also contact your local FBI office, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or you can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.

Hey Cruel Coven! Well, hello. We're back from our hiatus and we've changed a lot of the way we'll be going about recording future cases. Today we're talking about the Jelani Day case. The two of us are from about an hour away from where Jelani was last seen and we were shocked that it wasn't all over our news and being talked about, so we decided to do the best we could to bring this case more traction.

Hey Cruel Coven! Tori is doing a deep dive into all things Tony Todt. Tony is accused of murdering his entire family...his wife, Megan, and all three of his children, Alec, Tyler, and Zoe. Even the dog, Breezy. Yep.  Authorities said he confessed while under suicide watch at a hospital, but Tony is now adamantly denying it and placing all of the blame on his deceased wife. There's a lot more to this story and we hope you'll listen. By a lot more we mean, Medicare fraud, a 27-page handwritten letter from Tony to his father, oh...and the fact that his father was convicted of a murder-for-hire plot against his own wife, Tony's mom, Loretta.  As always, this episode has been recorded with the intention to shed light on a horrible event. We want to make sure that our listeners know that everything we say is meant with complete respect to those who had their lives taken and those who loved them. To the family of Megan, Alec, Tyler, & Zoe...our hearts go out to you. You have suffered an unthinkable tragedy. We are so sorry and should you see these words or hear this podcast, we hope this episode does your family justice.  K Love youuuu, bye!
