In this episode, Grace takes a look and an infamous string of murders that plagued New Orleans, Louisiana between 1991 and 1995. Dubbed “The Storyville Slayer”, this predator lurked in red light districts, picking off sex workers and drug users from the street, strangling them, and dumping their bodies in canals, swamps, ditches, and piles of garbage in New Orleans and the surrounding areas. And the most terrifying part of it all: his identity remains a mystery to this day.

In this episode, Grace covers a case that’s a little different from the typical stories told on this show. It’s less of a true crime story and more of a case of the supernatural. It has gripped our media for over 60 years, and raises the age-old question: is there life beyond Earth, or are aliens just a myth?

In this episode, Grace discusses the international missing person’s case of Julie Cutler, a 22-year-old Australian who went missing on a stormy June night in 1988. When her crushed car was found two days later submerged off the coast of Perth’s most popular beach, the community was sent on a frantic hunt to find Julie, fearing she may have met an awful fate. The case has since gone cold, and very little evidence still remains in the hands of police. An inquest into the case was conducted in November 2022 in an attempt to bring it closer to a conclusion, but it left a family and community that has been grieving for almost 40 years with more questions than answers.
