This may be the end of Rocky's series, but it is by no means the end of our passion for him and his case.

You'll also hear from Rocky Myers himself. *Note: Rocky's interview was conducted via prison phone. It can be hard to hear at times, but is absolutely worth hearing what he has to say about his life inside and outside of Holman Correctional Facility.

254: High Profile: Laci and Conner Peterson, Part 1
We're back from our break with a new series and a new multi part case! On Christmas Eve, 2002, Scott Peterson came home to find his pregnant wife Laci missing. She wasn't seen again until her body washed ashore months later, as did her unborn son. Suspicion fell on Scott right away, and he was eventually arrested, charged, and found guilty. But this case is anything but simple. In this episode, we talk about the high level details, what Scott says happened that day, and what investigators found out happened that day. And this is just the beginning. o access earlier episodes of Corpus Delicti and to help support the show, please visit patreon.com/corpusdelicti Our merch store can be found at teepublic.com/stores/corpus-delicti-podcast Music by: Kai Engel "Daemones" This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

A series of attacks and murders ends with strange calls to 911. These calls weren't from the victims or the onlookers, but rather the killer himself. While he was so emotional on these calls he earned the name "the weepy voiced killer", it didn't seem to deter him from continuing his violent streak. That is, until he found someone that would cause his downfall.

Do No Harm will explore doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals who abuse their position of power to inflict harm. **Apologies for the slight technical snafu on Lindsay's track during this episode - it was better than losing the whole thing! In this episode, we discuss a Doctor who claimed to lead the resistance in France when occupied by Germany during WW2 by assuring people he could get them to safety. But his motive was way darker.

Introducing COLD: The Search for Sheree
Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there. When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life. Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?

Wondery Presents Suspect Season 2: Vanished In The Snow
For more than three and a half decades, the disappearance of 12-year-old Jonelle Matthews was a mystery – a riddle neither authorities nor her family members could solve. The residents of her cloistered Colorado hometown had scoured every inch of prairie. Jonelle’s face had been on milk cartons nationwide. Even the President of the United States had appealed to the public for help. Still, every lead had fizzled. Every person of interest had turned out to be a dead end. Then, in 2019, Jonelle’s remains were unearthed near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. With the discovery came a troubling new question: Had the truth been hiding in plain sight the entire time? Was the man who couldn’t stop obsessing over Jonelle’s disappearance also the person who took her? From Campside Media and Wondery comes season two of SUSPECT. Former CNN reporter Ashley Fantz and executive producers Matthew Shaer and Eric Benson (Suspect, Over My Dead Body) dig into one of the most mind-bending cold cases in modern history, in an attempt to separate fact and fiction, compulsion from guilt, and true-crime fandom from a motive for murder.

220: Missing: Cleo Smith
This week, we needed a little bit of hope so while this story does involve someone who went missing, there is a resolution. Four-year-old Cleo Smith was camping with her family for the weekend. Her mother woke up one morning to find that Cleo was not in the tent, nor was she outside. At first, the hope was that she had simply wandered off, but the tent zipper being left unzipped way higher than Cleo could have reached cast doubt onto that.

This case, with zero suspects, is one of many stories of missing and murdered indigenous women across the United States.

Introducing: Suspect
A big Halloween party at an apartment complex in Redmond, Washington. Themed rooms and costumed partygoers. But by the end of the party, one of the hosts is dead. The police look to the partiers as the prime suspects: was it the guy in the devil mask, the bank robber, the construction worker? As investigators comb through forensic evidence, witness testimony, DNA, and even consult with a psychic, they zero in on one suspect in particular. But for what reason? Host and reporter Matthew Shaer (Over My Dead Body) returns to the scene of the crime, speaks with everyone about a night that still haunts them years later. It’s a series about race and policing, mislaid justice, cutting-edge science, and the kinds of weighty choices that cops and prosecutors make every day -- choices that, once made, are difficult to reverse. wondery.fm/Suspect_CorpusDelMug

Introducing: The Devil Within
It’s a case that has haunted Jefferson Township, New Jersey, for more than 30 years. On a snowy January night, 14-year-old Tommy Sullivan did the unthinkable: he murdered his mother in cold blood, set fire to their house, and then took his own life. Out of the flames of this horrible tragedy, investigations revealed that Tommy was, himself, a part of a Satanic Cult, sparking a nationwide hysteria now known as the “Satanic Panic” This monumental moment in American culture led to communities nationwide enforcing draconian measures to protect their children from what they perceived to be the devil’s influence. Even the Catholic church was convinced this was a case of demonic possession. On the new podcast, THE DEVIL WITHIN, the truth of the grisly murder is finally revealed. Did Tommy act alone? Did he really commit suicide? Is his cult still in power? THE DEVIL WITHIN finally sheds light on questions left unanswered for decades... Listen Here: wondery.fm/TDW_Corpus_Delicti

Nina Gilden Seavey was twelve on May 5, 1970, the day an Air Force building in St. Louis burned to the ground. Her dad represented a young man accused of the crime: Howard Mechanic. Facing serious federal time, Howard went on the run and became one of the longest-running fugitives in U.S. history. As an adult, Nina picked up the trail. What ever happened to Howard Mechanic? This eight-part series is the tangled story of her search for answers. Hundreds of Freedom of Information requests. Hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. FBI surveillance and confidential informants. Cold War spies, conspiracy theories and the murder of a civil rights icon. And the sacrifices America makes in the name of national security.

161: Road to Redemption: Chapter 3 - Dirty Laundry
This week on Rocky's story, we're picking up halfway through the trial. We learn a lot about the timeline, and just how many varying versions of it there are. Some make sense, while others... don't.

Introducing: MAN-Slaughter
MAN-Slaughter tells intertwining stories about how one gunshot on a cold Wisconsin night in 1970 dramatically changed multiple lives. A bullet brutally tore through decorated law enforcement veteran LaVerne Stordock. Decades later, his niece, Dorothy Marcic, transformed herself into an amateur detective in a quest for truth and closure about that night. At the center of Dorothy’s investigation is Suzanne Brandon, LaVerne’s second wife, who confessed to the shooting -- and who Dorothy believes completely escaped justice. As it follows Dorothy’s discoveries, MAN-Slaughter explores questions around the psychology of crime, the ways women are made responsible in families, and the lasting impact of trauma. A final encounter between Suzanne and Dorothy reveals a complex connection that even that gunshot cannot shatter. Listen today at wondery.fm/MS_CorpusDelicti

158: Forensic Breakthrough: Charles Stielow - Comparison Microscope
A farmer and his friend are shot dead on the farmer's property. Suspicion falls on his newly hired farmhand, who is arrested along with his brother in law. They're convicted on ballistics evidence which showed that the bullets could only have been fired from the suspect's gun. However, later a new suspect emerges causing the case to be revisited. On further inspection, the bullets weren't properly inspected at all, leading to the invention of a new tool.

157: Forensic Breakthrough: Angie Dodge - Familial DNA

However, with advancements in DNA it was learned that they in fact had the wrong guy. But now they had a new challenge. Who actually did it? Inspired by the Golden State Killer case, investigators thought they knew just the way to make it happen....

156: Forensic Breakthrough: Colin Pitchfork - DNA Fingerprinting
The crux of modern forensics is DNA. DNA has been around for a long time. But how did it find its place in solving crimes? It started with two rapes and murders of teenage girls along footpaths in England. Authorities thought they found their man, but a Geneticist named Alec Jeffreys showed them this was not the case. Today's story is the first time mass DNA screening was used, someone was convicted due to DNA evidence, and someone was exonerated due to DNA evidence... all in the same case.

Spats with a neighbor aren't uncommon. Barking dogs, unmowed grass, and trash on the lawn can be reasonable complaints. But rarely does it actually escalate to murder.

Wondery Presents: The Apology Line
If you could call a number and say you’re sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that.

He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn’t just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything. From Wondery the makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door, comes a story about empathy, deception and obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six episode series. Listen today at wondery.fm/AL_CorpusDelecti

143: Delayed Justice: Darryl Hunt, Part 1
Debbie Sykes, a 26 year old woman, doesn't show up for work as usual. Later that day, her body is found in a field. A 911 call under a fake name leads to an investigation that was botched from the start. Bullied witnesses, members of the KKK, and shoddy lineup pictures were just some of the reasons why Darryl Hunt was convicted of the murder, just to have the conviction overturned, and be tried again... and convicted again. And this is only part 1.

142: Delayed Justice: Levon Brooks and Kennedy Brewer
In a small Mississippi town, a three year old girl is taken from her bed at night only to be found raped and murdered. The victim's mother's ex-boyfriend is convicted based on bite mark evidence. Then, another three year old girl is found raped and murdered. This time, a different man is convicted, also based on bite mark evidence. How could two cases so similar have two different perpetrators?

*Correction, the temple was in Kirtland* Jeffrey Lundgren started out as a faithful member of the LDS. He even volunteered at their temple in Kirtland where he preached to visitors. That is, until his messages started to skew from LDS beliefs, and he was fired. Jeff then formed his own group, which would focus on priming the temple for the arrival of the Lord. But to do that, he'd have to take the temple over.

Tony Alamo, who was born with a different name, allegedly ruled the entertainment world by representing famous clients like the Doors, even recording at least one hit himself. That is, until God spoke to him during an investment meeting encouraging him to leave behind his false lifestyle. After that, he met his soul mate, Susan, and the two entered the evangelical lifestyle to spread the word. Only, they put their own spin on things, leading to a long list of criminal charges.

124: Listener Choice: Jennifer Schuett
Today's story is about one of the bravest children we've ever had the privilege of hearing about. Jennifer Schuett was abducted straight from her own bedroom in the middle of the night when she was only 8 years old. Her abductor slit her throat, and left her for dead in the middle of a field. There she lay for almost 24 hours before she was found. And she was ALIVE! Not only that, this little girl gave it everything she had to help police find the man responsible. Special thanks to Chastity for recommending this case!

A man goes missing, and three days later comes back home, knocking on the door in the middle of the night. He can't talk, and says he was kidnapped. Then, just a few months later, he goes missing again, only to be found dead. It's ruled a suicide, but no fingerprints were found on the gun used to kill him. What happened to Chuck Morgan?

122: Cryptic: The Somerton Man, aka Tamam Shud
A man is found dead on the beach dressed nicely in a suit. The best guess is that he was killed with some sort of untraceable poison. One of the few clues was a rolled up piece of paper found in a makeshift pocket that said "Tamam Shud", which means "It Is Ended". His case has baffled Australians for decades.

119: Cryptic: Isidor Fink, Locked Room Mystery
It sounds like something out of a crime novel, and often times, stores such as these are. But the murder of Isador Fink was very real. His neighbor heard screams and called the police, but no one could get inside. After sending a small boy through a tiny window, they finally got in. There was no murder weapon which meant it wasn't a suicide, no other fingerprints, no money taken, and several locks locked from the inside. Who could have committed a seemingly impossible crime?

A man is found in his hotel room naked, bound, and stabbed, yet barely still alive. Everything was taken, including the toiletries provided by the hotel. After telling the police that no one did this to him, he dies. Authorities quickly learn that he's not who he said he was, but the circumstances around his death don't add up.

NEW SERIES TIME! In the first episode of our Cryptic series, we have a story so perplexing, Sherlock Holmes himself couldn't have cracked it. Or, could he? Was it actually set up to BE a Sherlock Holmes Story? Richard Lancelyn Green was the fan of all Sherlock and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fans. He was working on writing the most extensive biography on the author, when he was found dead in his home. Initially, it was ruled a suicide, but the closer they looked... it may not have been elementary, my dear Watson.

Judith and Alvin are an unconventional couple who married when Judith was a teenager and Alvin was in his late 20s.

111: A Woman Scorned: Martha Wise
One Thanksgiving, an entire family fell ill. Well, everyone except for one.

What caused Martha Wise to poison her entire extended family?

110: A Woman Scorned: Joanna Dennehy
Typically when discussing serial killers, there's a road map of where things went wrong. It may be abuse, lack of a parental figure, bullying, or any other number of things. It's much less common to have a killer that, by all accounts, was perfectly normal. No one really knows what went wrong. Joanna Dennehy is one of these killers.

After a string of elderly women were murdered, police weren't really sure who to look for until witnesses described a man dressed in women's clothing. Only, it wasn't a man at all, but rather Juana.

The vicious murders of three elderly women frightened an entire town, causing people to sleep at the homes of friends and family. A young and relatively inexperienced detective is placed on the case. When the killer is finally caught, the motive seemed a bit far fetched for the brutality of the killings.

This week we bring you the story of the Papin sisters whose crimes inspired great debate in France. In 1933, the sisters brutally murdered their employer's wife and daughter in a gruesome, long lived attack. Because of the gore involved, many argued that they must be mentally ill.
