On the night of March 23, 1997 a 911 call came in from a 16 year old boy who stated that he had come home that night to find his father murdered in the living room. He was unsure if the other members of his family were alive because he had left the home in fear. When police responded they found four members of the Hunt and Duke family brutally murdered.

Cult leaders, with their charisma and allure, always wield a captivating influence over the individuals who become their devoted followers. These figures not only have the ability to deliver their ideologies in a way that unfolds gradually and increases with intensity over time but also their ability to fulfill the needs of those who seek purpose, belonging, or a sense of identity. In today’s episode we will take on such a case when discussing the crimes of Jeffrey Lundgren and the event that will become known as the Kirtland cult killings.

The body of Corey Parker was found the day after Thanksgiving in her Jacksonville, FL apartment. She had been brutalized and stabbed over 100 times. It would take detectives over a year to bring her killer to justice and when they did they learned that this was a family affair…just not the kind you could ever guess.

In the Spring of 1999 a beautiful young woman, just shy of her 19th birthday went missing after leaving her house on the eve of the first day of her full time job. Both her family and employer knew that she would never miss that first day of work, so when she never came home and did not show up for work they knew that something was wrong. The investigation into her disappearance would leave a black mark on the reputation of the Akron, Ohio police department and the beginning of legal battles that would take over a decade to bring justice to Hannah Hill.

Leon Benson spent more than half of his life, a total of 24 years, in an Indiana state prison for a murder he didn't commit. Despite the lack of physical evidence and a questionable eyewitness identification, he was convicted. But new realities start to come to light when attorney Lara Bazelon takes up his case and is determined to secure Benson's release. Season three of Suspect, co-produced by Campside Media and Wondery, delves into the flaws in the criminal justice system that led to Benson's wrongful conviction for the 1998 shooting of Kasey Schoen in Indianapolis. The investigation aims to uncover the truth about who really committed the crime and why the eyewitness testimony that led to Benson's conviction was so shaky. Host Matthew Shaer joins co-producer and writer Bazelon to take a deep dive into the nature of memory and how it can be fallible and result in an innocent man's life being wasted, while the real perpetrator remains unpunished. As the investigation unfolds, will Bazelon and her team gather enough evidence to free Benson? And what will happen to Schoen’s real killer?

Located in the northwest corner of King County in Washington State, Richmond Beach was a neighborhood in the city of Shoreline. The driftwood scattered beaches of the Richmond Beach Saltwater Park created that quintessential northwest waterscape. In the 1970s, when the case took place, Shoreline was a world away from the hustle and bustle of Seattle, located just 35 miles south. It was a tight night community where everyone knew everyone and the residents of the town slept with their windows open allowing the cool breeze from the Puget sound to wash over them as they slept.
But on Valentine’s Day 1975 the coastal community would be shaken to its core when a teenage girl is murdered just feet from the safety of her house.

His wife was in the truck with him and his son, she had been badly hurt in a farming accident. What would follow that incident would tear the Mullis family apart.
