Episode 65
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025

After attending a massive Halloween party in rural Michigan, 22-year-old Chelsea Bruck disappeared and was later found murdered. The investigation pieced together eyewitness accounts, costume evidence, and DNA that led to the arrest and conviction of a local man. The episode examines the community-wide impact, the long investigation, and the safety lessons Chelsea's story offers: go with trusted friends, stay together, and always leave together.
