Bobby Kicklighter was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather, a pillar of his community, and the local town historian. When he was randomly shot in his bed at the age of 88 the town of Glennville, Georgia wanted answers. The ones they got were disturbing, confusing, and down right scary. This case is a smaller piece of a larger puzzle but we are honored to tell Mr. Bobby’s story. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss the murder of Bobby Kicklighter.

In 1997 it came to light that a corrupt local physician in McCaysville, Georgia had illegal trafficked and sold up to possibly 200 babies to unsuspecting adoptive families, sometimes without the birth parents permission or knowledge. He ran his black market adoption ring out of his practice, The Hicks Community Clinic. The search for the truth in it's full scope is ongoing for these people, many who will never know the circumstances of their births or their past. Join us in the closet this week as we discuss Dr. Hicks, The Hicks Community Clinic, and the Hicks Babies.

Jon Amerault was a 25 year old kind, smart, successful young man who loved to hike and had a bright future ahead.

This case is appalling and brings about some interesting discussion surrounding intimate partner violence and the culpability of a victim.

This week we have 2 very special guests. In honor of Father's day, we are joined by the Husbands of the Closet, Wes and Emery. And we will be bringing you two cases of wives who killed their husbands.
First up is the murder of Bob Harris. Bob and Colleen Harris were a lovely and well-off California couple in the early 70’s. In 2013 Bob was shot in the head and murdered with Colleen suffering from amnesia with no memory of this traumatic event. What police uncovered about Colleen’s track record with husbands would shock and disturb them.
Next is the case of Steve Clayton. Steve was a very successful entrepreneur. He found several companions over the years, but the relationships always ended. That is, until he found Lana, a sweet nurse from Oklahoma. Nine years later, Steve was found at the bottom of the stairs in their home, from a heart attack, or was it?

Today, we discuss two smaller cases whose stories, we believe, need to be told.
Sidnee Stephens was a 15 year old high school student who loved tagging along with her big sister, Dakota. Sadly, in July of 2010, Sidnee was found shot to death in a river under a bridge. The investigation that unfolds leads police to a sinister group of people that conspired to murder.
Carol Deleon was an 18 year old high school grad that went out on the town to celebrate. She went missing from a club in 1981 and was never seen again. In 2010 a Texas Jane Doe was identified as Carol. But who brutally murdered her so many years before? This is a wild ride through multiple DNA tests and genealogy specialists that finally lead to an answer, 42 years later.
Join us in the closet this week as we discuss the cases of Sidnee Stephens and Carol Deleon.

Ethan Stacy was a 4-year-old boy, who was happy, energetic, and well behaved. His parents get divorced and he is forced to visit his mother in Utah for the summer. His father had his reservations about the visit as well, but it was court ordered and he did not have a choice. What happened to Ethan at the hands of his mother and new stepfather, is both shocking and horrific.

The last serial killer we cover may go down as the worst person in history (according to Cristy). His crimes are among some of the most heinous to research.

Teresa Halbach was a 25 year old vibrant and beautiful photographer. She disappeared on Halloween 2005 after photographing a car for a magazine. The man convicted of her murder, Steven Avery, had a long and sorted history with the legal system including spending 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

You voted and we listened! Join us in the closet this week for a special double episode while Cristy and Beth both share cases of murder-suicides. Mental Illness is a terrible affliction so many people deal with on a daily basis. An entire family perished due to mental illness. Two young men thought the only solution to their problems was to take the lives of their family and then take their own lives. The Hart Family was seemingly beautiful and happy to everyone on social media. With matriarchs Jenn and Sarah and 6 adopted children, the family was a picture of how wonderful being a non-traditional family could be. Or so everyone thought. It wasn't until their SUV was found at the bottom of a cliff, and all 8 of them were declared dead, that we all learned the actual truth.

In March 1997, Willa Jean Ferrier, Crystal Conaster, and Chris Boswell all spent the night at Willa Jean's after a fun night out. The next day, they were all found dead. Roscoe Garland testified that the murders were committed by his father, John Roscoe Garland, but dad blamed them all on his son. John Garland was ultimately convicted of the 3 murders based on circumstantial evidence, but the family, and the public remain divided. It's a case of "who done it?" and of Dad Vs. Son.

Two young people meet, have everything in common, fall in love and live happily every after. If only that was the case for Jason Allen and Lindsay Cutshall. Their lives and love story were cut short by one disturbed individual. A family friend updated a few things we mentioned in the episode: Jason actually grew up in Holland, Michigan (which is a neighboring city to Zeeland). He was my next-door neighbor. His family moved to Zeeland when Jason was in 5th grade but our families always kept in touch. The rescue helicopter that noticed Jason & Lindsay on the beach alerted authorities, not because Jason & Lindsay weren't supposed to be there, but because they weren't moving. It was daytime, the helicopter was loud and Jason & Lindsay weren't waking up. They knew of Jason & Lindsay being missing persons in that area so they suspected they had found them... and they were right. Shawn Gallon was spared the death penalty because he was offered a plea bargain that was approved by Jason & Lindsays' families. They didn't want to sit through a trial and thankfully, Shawn Gallon obliged.

William and Lila Young were a religious young couple living in Nova Scotia with 5 children. They had a heart to help the frail and sick while also spreading the gospel to their community, later specializing in maternity care for unwed mothers who were shunned by society. Their kind and serving hearts were quickly turned corrupt and their facility, The Ideal Maternity Home, quickly turned from a refuge to a burial ground for newborn babies and delivering mothers. Hundreds of deaths later, these are now knows as The Butterbox Babies. Join us in the closet this week for this haunting and tragic story of how money can do very dark things.

Brook Baker was a small town girl with big dreams. She wanted to be an investigative journalist and wasnt afraid to dig deep and expose truth.

Renee’s grandmother loved across the street from Rachel’s parents not Terry and Julie. She was not going to the party with Terry, it was just a family party. It was not a van that was seen but a gold sedan. **Three girls go shopping 2 days before Christmas and are never seen again. What happened to these girls back in 1974.
