In 2008, 52-year-old Bonnie Lou Irvine went missing in Cornelius, N.C., and police soon learned she had arranged to meet a man she met on Craigslist before she disappeared. In 2020, 39-year-old Andy Banks set out for an appointment to sell his Range Rover, and quickly dropped out of sight. He had also met his potential buyer in the online classifieds section of a website.

In 1992, 23-year-old Michael Hunter was found deceased in his northwest Raleigh apartment. When police take a closer look, they realize a lethal injection of Lidocaine caused his death, and his roommate, medical student Joseph Mannino, admits to injecting him with antihistamines to ease migraine symptoms. But the investigation reveals a motive for murder within a contentious love triangle. We also take a look at the hit-and-run death of Ruth Buchanan in 1989 and how the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police recently solved it.

As part of Suicide Prevention Month, Renee discusses four deaths attributed to suicide. One involved an elderly man who may have had a psychotic break, a successful doctor and her husband who died of a double suicide, a whistleblower who died unexpectedly from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and one death that may have been the result of mental health issues and strain from an abusive relationship. We also give an update on the Asha Degree missing persons case from Cleveland County, North Carolina.
Please seek help by calling or texting the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or by chatting online at 988lifeline.org.

In the 1980s, televangelist Jim Bakker had grown an impressive broadcasting empire along with his wife, Tammy Faye. Their organization, PTL, built a Christian-theme park on the border between North and South Carolina and the two lived a lavish lifestyle. But behind the scenes, the Bakkers were struggling with marital issues, hoping that material possessions would fill the empty places still in their hearts. Then, a sex scandal opened the doors for the government to begin examining the inner workings of the PTL's finances.

Eric Rudolph spent five years on the run before being captured early one morning while searching for food in Murphy, N.C. Investigators spent the next few years learning more about what turned him into a bomber as he led them to hundreds of pounds of dynamite he'd stashed in the mountains of North Carolina. As he prepared to go to trial in 2005 for the bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, he made a startling decision that would spare him from the death penalty.

The national parks in North Carolina attract numerous visitors each year, but they can also be treacherous if you aren't well prepared for your trip. We discuss the case of Frances Apperson, a 67-year-old who went missing after heading out for a solo hike at Linville Falls, 48-year-old Michael Hartley, who went missing in Spruce Pine on a foraging trip, Barry Hertel, who disappeared after a quick trip to a hardware store in Banner Elk, and various rescue missions in the Linville Gorge area. We'll also share the story of Justin Miller, who left his home in Bakersville in 2015 and hasn't been seen since, and Lynn Keene, who was murdered by the woman who was supposed to be keeping her safe in her home in Linville Falls in 2021.

Doris Duke was barely a teenager when her father, James Buchanan Duke, died and left her the bulk of the fortune he created through the American Tobacco Company and Duke Power. She was no ordinary socialite, though. Doris helped quadruple the family fortune, but her life was not without its challenges. Did she intentionally kill her interior designer in 1966 and get away with it? And what about the unusual cast of characters she surrounded herself with in her final years? Did they help orchestrate her death?

In July of 1990, 41-year-old Pamela Hoy had dinner with her estranged husband in Burlington, N.C. and packed her van in preparation for an upcoming dog show. She disappeared that night, and while her remains were found months later, the case has never been solved. Seven-year-old Jennifer Patterson went missing after going to visit some neighborhood children in Spring Lake, N.C. in June of 1991. Could she still be alive and was she abducted as part of a parental custody dispute? Forty-three-year-old Cecil Chacon, Jr. was a respected educator in Henderson, N.C. when he was murdered under unusual circumstances in 1992. Is there still a way to solve his case? KC Lee Johnson was a transgender woman murdered in Wilmington in early 2023 by a man she met online. Was her death a hate crime or a crime of opportunity?

It's always suspicious when a newlywed who turns up murdered or deceased in an accident has a spouse who stands to collect a large life insurance policy. This was the case of Lucille Rinaldi, who was murdered in 1963, and Brenda Anderson, who drowned mysteriously in 1965. We also take a look at one of Chapel Hill's oldest cold cases, the murder of 71-year-old Rachel Crook.
