Fact and Suspicion

The Delphi Murders

Hiking Trails are often portrayed in horror films as frightening and dangerous. Though, in reality, this is rarely the case. Tragically, a real life monster found 13-year-old Liberty German and 14-year-old Abigail Williams on February 13th, 2017 as they hiked the Monon High Bridge Trail in Delphi Indiana. We've never found this monster. Though, we have seen him, and we've heard his voice as he ordered the girls to go "down the hill." Despite video evidence, four years later we are still searching for the Delphi Killer.

The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann

Most parents never consider tragedy striking their family during a vacation. Or, at least they didn't until 2007 when the news of Madeleine McCann's disappearance made international headlines. 3-year-old Maddy vanished from the apartment her parents were renting in Praia Da Luz Portugal. This was arguably the most publicized missing persons case in European history. The media storm surrounding the disappearance would ruin lives, and 14 years later we still have no answers.

Rush to Judgment: The Michael Jackson Story

In 1993, the world was shocked when allegations of child molestation came to light against Michael Jackson.

Tabloids competed to run the most horrific, sensational headlines imaginable while talking heads opined endlessly about his guilt. For the general public, the message was clear: Michael Jackson was undeniably guilty. Once again, the media proved that the only thing it loves more than creating a star is watching one fall.

These allegations followed Jackson the rest of his life, and even after. However, a closer look at the facts of the case reveals a much different story than the one we’ve been told. Tonight, we’ll discuss the side of the story that the media neglected.

Too Good to be True: The Lindsay Buziak Story

JonBenet Ramsey

On the day after Christmas of 1996, 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was reported missing from her home in Boulder Colorado. A bizarre ransom note found inside the home indicated that JonBenet had been abducted and ordered her parents to pay more than a hundred thousand dollars for her safe return. According to the note, the group responsible would contact the Ramsey’s between 8 and 10 a.m. the next morning to negotiate the swap. But 10 a.m. came and went without any word from the kidnappers. Unfortunately, it became clear why the phone never rang later that evening when JonBenet’s lifeless body was discovered in the basement of the family’s home.

25 years later, JonBenet’s murder remains unsolved.

On March 2, 1998, 19 year old college student, Suzanne Lyall left work at the Crossgate Mall in Guilderland, NY around 9:20 PM.  She took a public bus back to campus and was seen exiting the bus near her dorm, however she never made it back to her room.  The next day Suzanne’s bank card was used at an ATM in a local convenience store, but Suzanne was never seen again.

Brandon Lawson

Brandon Lawson disappeared in the early morning hours of August 10^th 2013. After an argument with his wife Ladessa, he left his home in San Angelo Texas intending to make the three-and-a-half-hour drive to his father’s home in Crowley. He would never arrive. At 12:30 am, just shy of the town of Bronte, Brandon’s truck ran out of gas, leaving him stranded on Highway 277. Over the next 48 minutes, Brandon placed a number of phone calls, including one to his brother (Kyle) for help, three missed calls to Ladessa, and a 911 call that remains the subject of scrutiny and speculation to this day.

Unfortunately, we may never know what happened to Brandon that night, because shortly after placing this call to 9/11, he seems to have vanished into thin air.
