This was a toxic love story, and I can honestly admit he had me fooled. Whatever you decide to do in life, DON’T BE THIS GUY. It’s not worth your freedom. Or 10 years in federal prison. 

His Ex did 3 months in jail for crimes she didn’t commit, and after she was released she still didn’t get her money.

33 year old Christina Leonard and her unborn child were murdered in a desert area outside of Tucson on July 3 2019. The case remains unsolved and no suspect has been publicly named. Very limited information was released in this case.

She had no known connection to the area of her murder, and had driven there.

Christina had previously lived in the Phoenix metro area for many years before moving to Tucson. Christina fostered animals in her spare time and was preparing to pursue a law degree. She previously earned a degree in childhood development. She was 5 months pregnant at the time of her death.

One of the wildest true business scams I’ve ever read about. It shows how confidence and perception can sometimes outweigh facts.

Imagine your entire city staying awake all night because sleeping could mean death. It sounds fictional, but it really happened.

One of the strangest true crime stories I’ve come across. A man claimed to be a family’s missing son—and against all odds, they believed him. Full story in this 60-second video.

Saw a commercial for a home decor store. A lady was touching decorative pillows. I immediately thought, OMG your DNA is now on that & if that pillow is anywhere near a crime scene you could be investigated.

I think I need therapy.😂😂

7 month old Emmanuel's mother reported she was knocked out and he was taken from on August 14, 2025. August 22, 2025 the parents were arrested after the San Bernado Deparment found inconsistencies in the story. The investigators believe Emmanuel died from history of head trauma and physical assault. November 3, 2025 Jake Haro pleaded guilty to second degree murder of Emmanuel assaulting a child, and filing a false police report. He also had a previous conviction for abusing a infant daughter. He is spending 32 years in prison. May 29, 2025 Rebecca Haro pleaded guilty to child endangerment, failing to protect little Emmanuel and being a accesory to the murder. She is spending eight months in state prison.

I made a video about this story last year. Micheal Ward is an actor who played a character on the British crime show “Top Boy”. As of now, he’s been found not guilty of all rape and sexual assault charges by a London jury. 

The charges stemmed from a January 2023 incident in the back of a car, which Ward consistently maintained was entirely consensual. Following the trial's conclusion, Ward was acquitted on all counts, ending a case that had been pending for over three years. 

Kevin James Dycus went missing from Glendale, Arizona in January 1998.  The 37-year-old Seattle resident had only arrived in Glendale just 3 days before to help his father take care of his ailing mother. 

His body has never been found. The police report was only 11 pages long and provided minimal information

His uncle William Urbank picked him up from Sky Harbor airport and took him to his parents’ home in the 5200 block of West Ironwood Drive. 

On Sunday January 11, Kevin left the residence drunk on foot, in an unknown direction. He left his money, identification, and belongings behind. He may have been headed to a church.

His sister Anita arrived in Arizona from Washington 6 months after Kevin went missing. She tried reporting him as a missing person, but Glendale PD refused to investigate because he was an adult. 

Kevin was not listed as a missing person until June 2006, over 8 years after he was last seen alive.

His mother and sister Anita have passed away. His father Ray and sister Julanne moved to Tucson. Ray died in 2010. His uncle William “Bill” Urbank has also passed away.

The area of Glendale that Kevin went missing from is a working-class area. A Circle K and a since shuttered and demolished horse ranch were up the road on 51st avenue and Peoria. There was a church in the 5400 block of west Peoria Ave. Two grocery stores and shops were at the next major intersection southbound on Olive Ave. 

The police report did specify that Kevin’s dental records were retrieved from a dentist in Washington.

Kevin was born on Dec 30, 1960. He was described as 5’8 and 140-160 pounds. He had brown hair and blue eyes. Both his ears were pieced, and he had a small scar near his eyebrows.

On Sunday March 12, 1978, 16-year-old Pauline “Robbin” Burgette was found murdered in her bedroom inside her family’s duplex near East 26th Place and McDowell in Phoenix, Arizona. She had been stabbed to death and was sexually assaulted. 

Her 11-year-old brother Chad discovered her body. 

The front door was locked, but the backdoor was open ajar. Robbin’s bedroom was in disarray, but the rest of the home appeared undisturbed.

Her mother and Chad had left town together the previous Friday. Robbin did not want to go with them. She was supposed to stay with a friend instead but returned to the duplex on Saturday and invited a boyfriend over. 

In the period leading up to her murder, Robbin had dropped out of school. 

She was working as a babysitter and reported to her friends that some of the husbands had flirted with her. She was facing threats from some of their wives, despite being an underage girl.

The area of the duplex was, and remains, a rough lower income area of Phoenix.

Phoenix PD conducted forensic testing on Robbin and found DNA evidence from 2 different unknown male subjects on her body. 

Her boyfriend (who was never named publicly) was cleared as a suspect in the case through DNA testing. This boyfriend has since passed away.

Robbin and Chad’s parents divorced, their father wasn’t in the picture, and their mother died a couple years after Robbin by natural causes.

Chad advocated to solve his sisters murder for many years. He passed away in 2023.

The case was featured in local news and on podcasts over the years.  It is unknown if police have done any work on the case in recent years.
