  • Noah Donohoe: A Quest for the Truth
    Jan 31 2025

    On June 21, 2020, 14-year-old Noah Donohoe vanished from the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland—setting off a tragic mystery that would grip the nation for years to come. His disappearance wasn’t even the most puzzling part: After telling his mom that he was going to meet up with some friends that day, surveillance footage captured Noah riding his bike down a residential street… naked. What followed was a desperate, widespread search as volunteers, police, and the local community combed through the city for days.

    Six agonizing days later, Noah’s body was found in a storm drain in North Belfast. His death—unexpected, unexplained, and haunting—has raised more questions than answers. What led to that strange moment biking naked down the street? And how did he end up alone, so far from home, in a place no one could have predicted?

    An ongoing inquest has thrown up many theories and fueled public speculation. Noah’s family, devastated and searching for clarity, has demanded transparency. As they navigate the complex investigation, they hold on to one simple hope: justice for Noah.

  • Brianna Ghey: The Price of Being Seen
    Jan 24 2025

    It was February 11th, 2023. Brianna Ghey, a 16-year-old girl from Cheshire, England with fiery red hair and a love for TikTok, was like any other teenager starting her Saturday morning. Dressed in a cozy white hoodie, her head buried in her phone, she stepped out of her home, ready to meet a friend.

    It all started with a text. Her “friend,” 15-year-old Scarlett Jenkinson, invited Brianna to meet her at the library, just after 1:30 p.m. Despite her social anxiety, Brianna pushed through the fear. She texted her mom on the way saying: "I'm on the bus by myself, I'm scared." Her mom, supportive and proud, replied: “That’s well good.” But Brianna would never see those words.

    Within just two hours, Brianna’s life would be violently ripped away by Scarlett and her accomplice, 15-year-old Eddie Ratcliffe. The friendly face she was meeting, a girl she thought she could trust, would turn out to be the one who betrayed her—leading her to a remote spot, where she would be attacked and left lifeless, face down in the dirt. Her death shocked the nation, highlighting the ongoing issues of transphobia and violence against transgender individuals.

  • The Jack Family: Lured With a Promise
    Jan 17 2025

    On August 2, 1989, the Jack family—Ronnie, Doreen, and their two young sons, Russell and Ryan—disappeared without a trace. An Indigenous family from Prince George, British Columbia, seemingly just vanished after Ronnie accepted an unexpected job offer. What was meant to be a fresh start for the struggling family would become one of the most chilling mysteries in the province's history.

    The night before their disappearance, Ronnie met a man at a local bar—an encounter that would set the course for this tragedy. The stranger, a tall Caucasian man with reddish-brown hair and a full beard, offered Ronnie and Doreen lucrative work at a remote logging camp, promising them well-paid jobs and even daycare for their young children. The family, eager for a new opportunity, packed up and left their home in a white pickup truck, accompanied by this man. That was the last anyone saw of them—all four members of the Jack family.

    In the decades since, countless investigations have yielded no answers. No bodies. There are no concrete leads. Just unanswered questions. Like - Who was this man who lured the Jack family with empty promises? Why has there been no trace of them since, despite extensive searches? And what happened to Ronnie, Doreen, Russell, and Ryan after getting into that pickup truck?

  • Jordan Brown: Innocence Lost
    Jan 10 2025

    On a cold February morning in 2009, a quiet rural town in Pennsylvania was rocked by a horrific crime: a 26-year-old woman, Kenzie Marie Houk, was found shot in her own home. Katie, eight months pregnant with her unborn child, had been murdered in cold blood. However, the case that followed would raise more questions than answers.

    The police quickly turned their attention to an unlikely suspect—11-year-old Jordan Brown, the young son of Kenzie’s fiancé, Chris. In the absence of any solid evidence, the investigation seemed to hinge on one thing: the testimony of Kenzie’s then-7-year-old daughter Jenessa, who told police she saw Jordan moving his guns on the morning of the murder. Kenzie’s mother supported this theory by suggesting that Jordan had been threatening to hurt her for months.

    So, was Jordan the jealous child that Kenzie’s family painted him to be, capable of murder? Or was he the victim of a justice system eager to pin the blame on someone—anyone—when the real killer was still out there?

    In the following years, Jordan's case became a tangled web of courtroom battles and the fight to unravel the truth. Who killed Kenzie Houk?

    Jordan Brown's case would spark a national conversation about juvenile justice, about the capacity of children to commit such a crime, and about the flaws in an investigation that seemed to prioritize one theory over all others.

    But one question remained: Would justice for Kenzie ever truly be served?

  • J.B. Beasley and Tracie Hawlett: An Unlikely Suspect
    Jan 3 2025
    In the summer of 1999, two young women were stolen from their small town in Alabama—two lives cut tragically short, leaving behind nothing but questions.J.B. Beasley, just 17 years old, was celebrating her birthday when she and her best friend, Tracie Hawlett, disappeared without a trace. Hours later, their bodies were found—brutally murdered and left in the trunk of their car, parked on a quiet road in Ozark. The scene was gruesome. Their bodies showed signs of a violent struggle—scratches, mud, and evidence that they had been dragged through the underbrush. The car was found in a location that didn’t match the crime—it was clear the murder had happened somewhere else, far from where they were left.For nearly two decades, the case went cold. Rumours swirled. Speculations ran wild. Some whispered of a cover-up, others feared the killer was still out there, walking free. The investigation was stagnant, leaving the community haunted by the unsolved murders of two young girls. Did the killer live amongst them?But then, in 2019, something changed—a new method - one that would bring the investigation back to life. For the first time, detectives turned to familial DNA. The evidence recovered from J.B.’s body was entered into public genealogy databases—searching for a name buried deep within family trees.It would take years, but finally, detectives zeroed in on a name. An unlikely suspect—someone who, for decades, had slipped through the cracks.Sources:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13404041/Wife-killer-preacher-Coley-McCraney-breaks-silence-arrest-2020.htmlhttps://www.al.com/news/2024/07/story-of-brutal-murder-of-2-teens-that-haunted-alabama-for-20-years-retold-on-sins-of-the-south.htmlhttps://www.happyscribe.com/public/20-20/forever-17https://cdn.knightlab.com/libs/timeline3/latest/embed/index.html?source=1Kx6HveAG-PIUcau7DZXcjseRXzToVDvu0lpETPeQ3IQ&font=Default&lang=en&initial_zoom=2&height=700%27%20width=%27100%%27%20height=%27700%27%20webkitallowfullscreen%20mozallowfullscreen%20allowfullscreen%20frameborder=%270%27%3Ehttps://abcnews.go.com/US/dna-match-leads-arrest-minister-decades-after-murders/story?id=109987862#:~:text=The%20murders%20sparked%20a%20decades,a%20McCraney%20in%20high%20school.%E2%80%9Dhttps://www.oxygen.com/sins-of-the-south/crime-news/where-jb-beasley-tracie-hawletts-killer-coley-mccraney-nowhttps://alabamavictimsmemorial.com/hawlett-tracie-jean/ https://www.wtvy.com/2024/12/14/coley-mccraneys-new-trial-hopes-teen-murders-dealt-devastating-blow/Follow me here:► YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@SerialNapper/► Twitter - https://twitter.com/serial_napper► Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/serialnappernik/► Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/SerialNapper/► TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@serialnappernik *Go Ad-Free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SerialNapper *I will be in London at CrimeCon UK and I would love to meet you!

  • Ryan Poston: Fatal Attraction
    Dec 27 2024

    On the evening of October 12, 2012, in Highland Heights, Kentucky, 911 received a call that would shake even the most seasoned dispatcher. The voice on the other line that of 21-year-old Shayna Hubers, who matter-of-factly reported "I killed my boyfriend in self-defence.”

    When police on arrived on scene, they found a man, dead from gunshot. The victim, 29-year-old Ryan Poston, was a rising star in the legal world, a young attorney who had recently launched his own law firm. Shayna insisted that she had shot Ryan as a desperate act of self-defence. However, as investigators learned more about their toxic relationship - a relationship Ryan had fought to escape, they weren’t so sure. What followed would unravel a twisted and tragic story of possessive love and mounting rejection.

  • Sade Robinson: The Date From Hell
    Dec 20 2024

    On April 1st, 2024, Sade Robinson, a 19-year-old from Milwaukee, told an employee at her apartment building she was looking forward to a date that evening. Just hours later, stills from a surveillance video captured Sade sitting beside a man at Twisted Fisherman, a local restaurant, before leaving with him. That would be the last time anyone saw her alive.

    The following day, Sade’s car was found burned out in a parking lot—her clothes discarded in the trunk. But the horrors didn’t end there. A human leg was discovered near the shores of Lake Michigan, and soon after, a foot, matching the leg, was found just a few miles away in Milwaukee. The investigation into Sade’s disappearance would unravel a chilling and twisted nightmare, one that has left family, friends, and police searching for answers. Mostly - why would someone do something so horrific to this young lady, who was nothing but a kind soul to everyone she met?
