* IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE CRIME CONTENT, PLEASE CHECK THE RELEVANT TIMESTAMPS. (6:55) - Twin Flames Universe Jeff Ayan met Megan Plante online in 2012. The couple had similar interests and were both interested in spirituality. Megan was studying under a spiritual guide at the time, and that person advised her that her spiritual name should be Shaleia. Megan has gone by that name ever since. Jeff and Shaleia moved in together and soon began to form ‘Twin Flames Universe’. A Twin Flame is a term that has been used to describe two people who are equals. Twin Flames are meant to push the other in their journey of self-discovery. Jeff and Shaleia have allegedly urged their followers to pursue their twin flame matches, regardless of the law. Some of their followers have been told to ignore restraining orders in order to match with their flame. Twin Flames Universe followers sometimes pay thousands of dollars for information from Jeff and Shaleia. One former devotee even had to declare bankruptcy after spending all of her money and up to ten hours per day studying Jeff and Shaleia’s teachings. Vanity Fair journalist Alice Hines described the classes as “a therapeutic-spiritual reality show”. Is Twin Flames Universe a cult? Jeff has denied that is it. He told VICE “We created an organization of love and harmony which heals and enriches everyone in it and everyone who is connected to anyone in it.” In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss Twin Flames Universe.

* IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE CRIME CONTENT, PLEASE CHECK THE RELEVANT TIMESTAMPS. __ __ * Dutch tourists Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon arrived in Boquete, Panama in March 2014. They had prearranged to volunteer at a local school and were excited to spend time in the beautiful country. When they went to the school to start their work, they were told there was no place for them. They were disappointed and looked for ways to fill their days. On April 1, 2014, Kris and Lisanne went for a hike on the El Pianista Trail. They were only planning to spend a few hours there and took no supplies with them. They headed onto the trail and were never seen alive again. Months later, some of their belongings were found, including their phones and a camera. Investigators determined that they had attempted to make emergency calls from their phones for days after the hike, but the calls never connected. There were many interesting photos found on the camera, including 90 photos taken in a short period, one week after they went missing. One photo was found to have been deleted from the camera and authorities have never been able to recover it. Some remains of Kris and Lisanne were eventually found. Panamanian authorities have never released full autopsies for the women. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the mysterious deaths of Kris Kremers and Lisanne Froon.

* IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE CRIME CONTENT, PLEASE CHECK THE RELEVANT TIMESTAMPS. __ __ * Birdie Pruessner had four beautiful children that seemed to be the center of her universe. She made many social media posts about how much she loved her children. In February 2024, Birdie posted many times in one day. One post read: ‘All my kids, peacefully sleeping in my bed. Curled up together. Knowing they are loved so fiercely that I’d do absolutely anything for them. This is my favorite moment.’ Soon after that post, a fire broke out in Birdie’s home. She passed away, along with her children and family pets. Many people started pointing fingers at Birdie’s ex-partners. Police quickly determined that Birdie was the one to start the fire. It is thought she set a mattress in the home alight. She left a suicide note in her minivan. Birdie’s family have said that she got to an awful place, one that resulted in tragic consequences. Anne Muhoro lived on the opposite side of the world to Birdie, in Canberra, Australia. Anne and her ex-partner George had a tumultuous relationship and had been fighting in court for years over the custody of their two children. Early one February morning, Anne turned off the electricity to their home and removed the batteries from smoke detectors. She then set a series of fires in the home, killing herself and her two young children. Anne died from the effects of the fire, but investigators were not able to determine how the children died – did Anne murder them prior to the blaze? In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two cases of Moms Who Murder – Birdie Pruessner and Anne Muhoro. Read our blog for these cases https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2024/03/05/moms-who-murder-birdie-pruessner-and-anne-muhoro/ In this episode, we also discuss two updates from previously covered cases.

* IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE CRIME CONTENT, PLEASE CHECK THE RELEVANT TIMESTAMPS. __ __ * Mashenka Reid’s mother left their family in late 2023. After that, Mashenka, at age 17, was asked by her father to stay home from school most days in order to care for her younger, disabled siblings. In February 2024, Mashenka asked her father to goto the store to get pizza ingredients. While he was gone, Mashenka got online and figured out how to use her father’s gun. When he returned home from the store, Mashenka allegedly shot both him and her little brother dead. In the height of the Covid Lockdown in 2020, Gavin Smith’s family forbade him to see his girlfriend, Rebecca. Gavin was 16 at the time. Investigators would later find over 15,000 Facebook messages between the two. In December 2020, Gavin called Rebecca on FaceTime – he was holding a gun and a knife. Rebecca encouraged Gavin to kill his family so that the two could be together. Gavin murdered his mother, step-father and two younger brothers while on the call. After the murders, Gavin texted Rebecca and said “Ok baby, I’m a murderer. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss two cases of Kids Who Kill – Mashenka Reid and Gavin Smith.

* IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE CRIME CONTENT, PLEASE CHECK THE RELEVANT TIMESTAMPS. __ __ * On February 15, 2024, an Amber Alert was issued for missing 11 year-old Audrii Cunningham, in Livingston, Texas. Police initially said that Audrii had been dropped off to a bus stop earlier that morning and had never made it to school. The last person said to be seen with Audrii was Don ‘Steven’ McDougal. Steven’s long rap sheet for unrelated crimes quickly became public and many pointed the finger at him. Steven began commenting on the True Crime Society Facebook page, protesting his innocence. “I was there and was questioned. I am not running or hiding,” he wrote before commenting again and saying, “I have done everything I can to help find her. I have done nothing wrong.” Audrii’s tiny body was found in a river on Tuesday February 20, 2024. She had been weighed down before being dumped. Steven McDougal has been charged with Audrii’s murder. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the abduction and murder of Audrii Cunningham.

* IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE CRIME CONTENT, PLEASE CHECK THE RELEVANT TIMESTAMPS. __ __ * Texas nurse Lacey Lyn Overby allegedly decided to help a homeless man on February 1, 2024 by buying him some food. She alleges that as she opened her car window to hand the food to him, he reached in, opened the door to her vehicle and abducted her. She managed to send a text to her daughter with their code words ‘purple pancakes’, so her family knew she was in trouble. She also managed to text a description of her abductor. This man allegedly forced Lacey to drive hours to the Mexican border. Just before they got there, he told her to drive over the border for 20 miles. He then got out of the car. Lacey was found by authorities, waiting alone in her car, in line to cross the border. Since Lacey’s safe recovery, there have been no updates from police, leading many to speculate if this was a true abduction or not. In 2015, Denise Huskins was in bed asleep with her boyfriend Aaron Quinn in California. They were awoken with lasers being pointed on their wall. The couple were bound and their eyes were covered with blacked out goggles. Aaron was warned that if he called police, there would be consequences. Denise was then abducted. Two days later, Denise’s abductor released her outside of her family home. Police did not believe Aaron and Denise’s stories and accused them publicly of lying and wasting police resources. The couple eventually received a multi-million dollar settlement when their story was proven to be true and a man was arrested. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the possible abduction of Lacey Lyn Overby, as well as the abduction and recovery of Denise Huskins.

* Timestamps __ __ * TW – pregnancy loss and domestic abuse. Missouri woman Grace Holland fell in love with Fire Captain Robert Daus and they began to make a life together. They were engaged and had blended their families together. Grace and Robert had just purchased a new home together in 2020 and were making preparations to move in. Things were not what they appeared on the surface. Robert was allegedly verbally and emotionally abusive to Grace. Court documents show angry and abusive texts that Robert sent to her and he allegedly offered her money to abort their baby. Nobody knows what happened in the hours leading up to July 22, 2020. That morning, Grace died from a gunshot wound to the head. It was eventually determined by authorities to have been self-inflicted, although her family have always thought otherwise. Robert moved on after Grace’s death and he became involved with a successful doctor, Sarah Sweeney. In January 2023, Sarah was found dead in the home that Robert and Grace had previously purchased. Her cause of death is currently pending. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the deaths of Grace Holland and Sarah Sweeney.

* TIMESTAMPS __ __ * Californian woman Nancy Ng loved traveling to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. She attended a yoga retreat there in 2022 and planned another one for October 2023. Her sister Nicky said “She was saying it’s so beautiful. Last year, she woke up every morning just to spend some time there by herself without the group and this year was going to be more exciting because they had planned activities on the lake.” When Nancy arrived in Guatemala, she sent a text to her family before putting her phone into airplane mode. “I’ll be safe, don’t worry about me,” Nancy and the other retreat attendees went kayaking on Lake Atitlan on October 19. Nancy was seen smiling and waving in footage from that morning. What happened next is unclear, as there was only one other person kayaking with Nancy. That person is an attorney from California, named Christina Blazek. Christina said that Nancy wanted to swim in the lake and she jumped out of her kayak, despite warnings about the rough conditions from Christina. Nancy apparently disappeared under the water and did not resurface. Christina made it to shore and a search started for Nancy. When Guatemalan authorities went to interview the retreat attendees the day after Nancy vanished, they were all said to have left the country. In this episode of the True Crune Society Podcast, we discuss the disappearance of Nancy Ng. Accident or foul play? As of January 2024, Nancy remains missing.

Days later, Chelsea would vanish. Margaret Kay-Alana Turner lived in NYC during the pandemic and it greatly affected her. Her mental health had been declining. Kay-Alana changed her medication earlier this year and it is thought that she had a bad reaction to the alteration. In March 2023, Kay-Alana was seen disoriented, tired and confused by residents of Tomball, Texas. She had been attempting to rest in her car in a residential driveway. The police were called and Kay-Alana became frightened and tried to flee. Law enforcement attempted to enter her vehicle by destroying a window with a 2x4. Kay-Alana exited the vehicle and ran away, her shoes filled with glass from the window. She has not been seen since. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the separate cases of missing women Chelsea Grimm and Kay-Alana Turner.

* TIMESTAMP: (1:35) Natalee Holloway had the world had her feet when she went on a graduation trip to Aruba in 2005. She was enjoying spending time with her friends in a beautiful destination. One night, towards the end of her vacation, Natalee went to a nightclub on the island where she would run into Joran van der Sloot. This encounter would change the lives of the Holloway family forever. Natalee was not seen alive again after this night. As of November 2023, her remains have still not been found. Over the years, Joran van der Sloot has confessed to his involvement in Natalee’s disappearance and death many times. He has also taken back his confessions and changed his stories frequently. In 2010, five years to the day that Natalee vanished, Joran met Stephany Flores in a casino in Peru. They went back to his hotel room where he brutally murdered her with a tennis racquet. Joran was eventually sentenced to 28 years in prison for this murder. In October 2023, Joran gave another confession and gave details as to how he brutally killed Natalee on an Aruban beach in 2005. Natalee’s mother Beth believes his story. “It’s over. Joran van der Sloot is no longer the suspect in my daughter’s murder. He is the killer,” Beth said. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we tell Natalee Holloway’s story.

* TIMESTAMP: (4:51) In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss three separate cases of missing people. __ In June 2023, Gwen Brunelle told her parents and her boyfriend that she was leaving home in Boise, Idaho to go on a road trip to Fresno, California. Gwen’s hobby and passion was showing rabbits and she told her family that she was going to meet with a judge in that industry. Gwen packed up her 11 rabbits and hit the road. On Friday June 30, a police officer found Gwen’s car abandoned with her rabbits inside – many of them had perished in the heat. Gwen was nowhere to be found. After her disappearance, her family found out that she never had plans to meet anyone in Fresno and CCTV showed some erratic behavior on Gwen’s part. As of October 2023, she remains missing. __ * Read our blogs for these cases: __ __ * We are now on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Truecrimesociety! Thank you for your support.

* TIMESTAMPS __ __ * Every 40 seconds, a child goes missing or is abducted in the United States. Approximately 840,000 people are reported missing each year and the F.B.I. estimates that between 85 and 90 percent of these are children. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the separate cases of Madalina Cojocari and Charlotte Sena. Madalina Cojocari was 11 years old when she was last seen getting off the school bus in North Carolina on November 21, 2022. Madalina did not attend school after that date. By mid December, school officials were concerned and asked to meet with Madalina and her parents. Madalina’s mother Diana showed up to the school on December 15 and confessed that she did not know where her daughter was. The FBI became involved quickly. Madalina’s case is strange and confusing. Both her mother and step-father have been arrested and charged with failing to report the disappearance of a child. As of October 2023, Madalina remains missing. Charlotte Sena (9) was camping with her family in a state park in New York on September 30, 2023. She told her cousins that she was going for a quick bike ride before returning to their campsite. Her family became alarmed very quickly when she did not return, and they found her bike abandoned nearby. A few days later, on October 2, a man named Craig Ross Jr delivered a ransom note to the Sena home. It is believed he forced Charlotte to write the note, and in it, he demanded $50,000 for her safe return. Police moved quickly and tracked him down hours later. Charlotte was found alive, hidden in a cupboard in his grimy trailer.

* TIMESTAMPS: __ __ * Ruby Franke was one of the original YouTube ‘stars’. Her channel, 8 Passengers, had millions of subscribers at its peak. The channel chronicled the life of Ruby, her husband Kevin and their six children in Utah. What started as Ruby posting videos of her daily life, soon turned into something more. Ruby made videos regarding the strict treatment of her children – she would withhold food as punishment and at one point even made the children do chores to be able to use the bathroom. Authorities were called and did an investigation into the Franke family. Ruby seemed to shrug it off and the family went about their daily lives. Ruby’s marriage to Kevin had broken down. Ruby had partnered up with Jodi Hildebrandt, who called herself a counsellor. The two started new social media accounts called ‘Moms of Truth’ where they posted their extreme parenting tips and views on topics such as immigration and sexual abuse. In August 2023, a child in Utah escaped from a home and ran to a neighboring property. The child was emaciated and malnourished and had wounds embedded in his skin from being shackled. The child was Ruby Franke’s son. Ruby and Jodi were arrested and charged with six counts of aggravated child abuse, a felony. Both are being held without bail. In this episode, we discuss the fall of Ruby Franke and the heinous crimes she and Jodi Hildebrandt allegedly committed. There have been some big updates in the cases of Suzanne Morphew and Crystal Rogers and we discuss those in this episode, as well.

* TIMESTAMP: (5:37) For anyone unfamiliar with the Delphi murder case, Indiana teens Liberty German and Abigail Williams were murdered on February 13, 2017. An arrest in the case was finally made in 2022 when local Richard Allen was arrested for the murders of the girls. Last week, a 136 page court document was filed by the defense outlining the reasons they believe the case wasn't properly investigated. The defense is alleging evidence was manipulated and that the girls were murdered as part of a ritualistic sacrifice by white nationalists who practice a Norse pagan religion. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we run through the new court documents. The documents go into graphic detail about the crime scene so listener discretion is advised. *** NOTE: Since recording, the state responded to the defense's filing stating they had enough probable cause for the search warrant on Richard Allen's home. *** Read our blog on this update here https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/09/19/delphi-updates-september-18-2023/ We are now on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Truecrimesociety!

* Ohio teen Mackenzie Shirilla had been dating Dominic Russo for years and their relationship was described as tumultuous. A friend overhead an argument between the two in July 2022 where Mackenzie threatened to crash the car she was driving, with both of them in it. A few weeks later, Mackenzie did exactly that. Early one morning, after a night of partying, she crashed her vehicle into a wall at 100mph. Dominic died along with a friend of the pair, Davion Flanagan. Mackenzie was injured and taken to hospital, where she recovered. By October 2022, Mackenzie was well enough to dress up as a corpse for Halloween, despite just losing two of her closest friends. Mackenzie was eventually arrested and her case has just gone to court. She was convicted and is currently serving a minimum of 15 years in prison. Her family argue that the crash was an accident caused by a medical condition, but the judge did not believe that story. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the case of Mackenzie Shirilla. We also discuss creepy updates in the case of the BTK serial killer. Police have released sketches done by Dennis Rader and have asked the public for help in identifying the people and locations in the drawings. We discuss these developments in this episode.

* As summer draws to a close in the Northern Hemisphere, we are going to discuss two Vacation Nightmare cases in this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast. Australian woman Elly Warren travelled to Africa in 2016 for the trip of a lifetime. She had been scuba diving with marine biologists and had been swimming with Manta Rays. One night, towards the end of her vacation, she went to a bar in Tofo Beach, Mozambique for a few drinks and to catch up with friends. She indicated to the group that she was going to get a drink and she would be back to join them. When Elly didn’t come back, her friends assumed she had gone back to their hostel. Elly’s body was found the next morning, outside a public bathroom. Mozambique officials have given varying stories about how Elly died. Her family believes she was murdered and an investigation is ongoing to this day. Heather Mack and her mother Sheila had a contentious relationship. Police were called to their family home on average once a month. There were allegations of abuse and violence between the pair. In 2014, Sheila paid for herself and Heather to fly first class to Bali for a vacation. They checked into luxury hotels, but their relaxation didn’t last long. Heather stole her mother’s credit card and bought airplane tickets for her boyfriend Tommy to join them in Bali. When Tommy arrived in Bali, he fought with Sheila and their altercation turned deadly. Sheila was beaten to death and her body was stuffed in a suitcase. Heather and Tommy were arrested in connection with her murder and they were incarcerated in Indonesian prisons. Heather was pregnant at the time of the murder – she gave birth and her baby lived in the squalid jail cell with her for years. In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the cases of murdered Australian woman Elly Warren and the case of suitcase murderer Heather Mack. **TIMESTAMP** If you’d like to skip straight to the crime content, please go to (11:18) Read our blogs for these cases - https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/09/05/australian-woman-elly-warren-murdered-in-mozambique/ https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/09/05/australian-woman-elly-warren-murdered-in-mozambique/?fbclid=IwAR0VEHEWd4KOppLvS7iM2a89dtz_7LdxMc__zGFQaeSF3V2sPokLYhrC0HE https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/09/05/heather-mack-the-bali-suitcase-murder/ https://truecrimesocietyblog.com/2023/09/05/heather-mack-the-bali-suitcase-murder/?fbclid=IwAR2isiXBEA7wswO-bQNN6UYdhMBj9c4KN53XGXhqpc57emQxsAZs94N-Z6U We are now on Patreon!

* In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the separate cases of two missing people – Morgan Bauer and Yohanes Kidane. Morgan Bauer was 19 in 2016 when she left the small town in South Dakota where she had grown up, for the bright lights of Atlanta, Georgia. Morgan embarked on her adventure with only dollars to her name. The excitement quickly turned to desperation. Morgan was thrown out of the accommodation that she had arranged to stay in and she frantically tried to find employment. Morgan had only been in Georgia for a few weeks before friends and family realized that they hadn’t heard from her. As of August 2023, Morgan remains missing and the two people who were last known to have been with her have been arrested in connection with her murder. Yohanes Kidane had the world at his feet. He graduated from Cornell University earlier in 2023 and had relocated from New York to the Bay Area in California to take up a promising job with Netflix. Yohanes spoke to his brother on Sunday August 13 and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. When Yohanes’ siblings checked his location the following day, they saw that this phone was the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. When his family called the phone, it was answered by a stranger who had found Yohanes personal belongings including his laptops, ID and wallet. Yohanes is thought to have taken an Uber from his apartment in San Jose to the bridge. He remains missing. Did something sinister happen to Yohanes while in the ride share or did he travel to the Golden Gate Bridge for another reason? There have been updates in the Bryan Kohberger murder case and killer nurse Lucy Letby has been sentenced for killing multiple infants. We discuss these updates in the episode.
