Conversation With An Aspiring Homicide Detective

Chris tells the tale of two 2021 cases; one that national media tracked daily for months, and a far more mysterious, grisly case that most people have never heard about.

25-year-old Aubrey Dameron was last seen in Grove, Oklahoma on March 9, 2019.  She disappeared after leaving her family home to meet up with someone.  Chris discusses potential motives and suspects in this fairly recent missing persons case.  

Seven-year-old Kyron Horman disappeared on June 4, 2010, from Northwest Portland’s Skyline Elementary after stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman dropped him off with his second-grade science project on tree frogs.  Chris reviews this case which had many twists and turns in the investigation from the beginning and sparked the largest criminal investigation in Oregon history.

This month marks the 10th anniversary of Tiffany Heaven Daniels' sudden disappearance from Pensacola Beach.  On  August 12, 2013, Tiffany left work at Pensacola State College, where she worked as a theater technician, and was never seen again.  Eight days after her disappearance, Tiffany’s car was found parked at Pensacola Beach. Her wallet, cell phone, bicycle, water bottles, and other personal items were found inside.  Chris reviews Tiffany's case and weighs in with her experienced insights. 

Chris attempts to untangle what had happened to 18-year-old Denise Pflum when she went missing in late March 1986 from rural Fayette County, Indiana, and the reasons why, after three decades, this case still hasn't been solved. 

In 2007, 20-year-old Sarah Wallace, an aspiring nurse, was shot inside her apartment after arguing with her boyfriend in a bar.   Chris examines why her boyfriend is the obvious suspect including the fact he admitted to shooting Sarah.  So why, after all of these years, is he still a free man?  

Chris discusses the chilling, unsolved, triple-murder of the Sims family that has haunted Tallahassee, Florida since 1966. 

Chris talks with police officer Megan Bortner.  Megan has three years on the force. Just like Chris, she's known since she was a little kid that she wanted to be a police officer and a homicide detective.  Megan reached out to Chris for advice and we recorded the conversation so our listeners could learn from it too. 

In honor of Pride Month, Chris illuminates a 40-year-old case that was recently solved with the help of The Trans Doe Task Force. 

Jessica Masker was 24 and had recently given birth to her second son when she went missing on the east side of Indianapolis on April 15, 2013.  It's a mystery that has haunted Jessica's parents and her seven brothers and sisters for a decade.
