On May 13, 2016, prominent Dallas attorney Ira Tobolowsky was found burned to death inside his home. What first appeared to be a tragic accident quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. Investigators determined the fire had been deliberately set, and Ira had been attacked before the blaze. But who would want a respected lawyer dead?

Soon police arrested a suspect, a man entangled in a bitter legal feud with Tobolowsky. As evidence mounted, Aubrey was arrested and charged with murder. But in a shocking twist, the case against him was dismissed, leaving Ira’s family and the legal community stunned.

Was this a calculated act of revenge? A case of a legal dispute turned deadly? Or is the real killer still out there? With legal twists, defamation lawsuits, and a suspect still walking free, this case is as fiery as the crime itself.

Join Arlene and Leah as they unravel the tangled web of betrayal, violence, and courtroom drama behind one of Dallas’ most chilling unsolved murders.

On the morning of January 10, 2002, 19-year-old Rachel Cooke went for a run in her quiet Georgetown, Texas neighborhood. She was home from college for the holidays, enjoying the break with family. She never returned.

Rachel was last seen less than a mile from her house, a routine jog that should have ended in time for breakfast. But when her parents came home later that day, Rachel was gone—her keys, wallet, and belongings untouched. There was no sign of struggle, no obvious clue pointing to what happened. Just silence.

The case baffled investigators. Witnesses recalled a suspicious vehicle in the area, but no concrete leads emerged. Over the years, suspects have come and gone, but no arrests have been made. In 2021, authorities announced a new person of interest, reigniting hope. Yet, two decades later, Rachel’s fate remains a mystery.

Did she get into a stranger’s car willingly? Was she abducted by someone she knew? Or did a predator spot her on that quiet suburban street, seizing the moment to take her?

Theories abound, but the truth has remained elusive. Despite intense media coverage, searches, and FBI involvement, Rachel Cooke’s case remains one of Texas’ most haunting unsolved disappearances.

Someone knows what happened. But will they ever come forward?

Join Arlene and Leah as they dig into the twists, theories, and chilling details of Rachel Cooke’s disappearance—a case that still leaves more questions than answers.

On April 18, 2016, 45-year-old fitness instructor Missy Bevers arrived early at Creekside Church in Midlothian, Texas, to set up for a boot camp class. Less than an hour later, she was found brutally murdered inside. Surveillance footage captured a chilling figure dressed in full SWAT gear roaming the church halls, wielding what appeared to be a hammer. The suspect’s slow, deliberate movements—almost staged—have fueled theories and speculation for years.

Despite the eerie video, the case remains unsolved. Missy had no known enemies, yet investigators uncovered troubling details: a cryptic LinkedIn message she received days before her murder, reports of marital struggles, and a warrant revealing her father-in-law had a bloody shirt—though it was later attributed to an animal.

A promising young woman with dreams of photography, Tara vanished without a trace, leaving a trail of unanswered questions.

Her car was later found abandoned on the side of a highway, its tires slashed—a chilling sign of foul play.

On the night of October 2, 2003, 16-year-old Monica Carrasco seemingly vanished into thin air from her relatives' home in Balmorhea, Texas. She had recently moved in with her aunt and uncle after her mother suffered a stroke, and though she was adjusting to a new environment, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But by morning, Monica was gone—her bed neatly made, her Bible missing, and no trace of her anywhere.

Authorities were baffled. There were no signs of forced entry, no evidence of a struggle. Monica reportedly left without shoes, money, or extra clothing. Did she walk away voluntarily? Or was she taken? Despite extensive searches in the vast West Texas desert, no clue surfaced about her whereabouts.

Was she lured away, or was someone inside the house responsible?

Decades later, Monica’s case remains one of Texas' most puzzling disappearances. With new eyes on the investigation and renewed efforts to uncover the truth, will answers finally surface? Or will Monica Carrasco remain a ghost in the desert, lost to time?
