Right now there’s remarkably little regulations in homeschooling. In ten states in the United States, homeschooling is completely unregulated. And in 15 more, parents only have to notify their school district that their kids will be learning at home. There are no minimum educational standards for teachers, no curriculum review, no testing or monitoring to make sure that any education is taking place at all. No one to check if these children are okay. Allowing some parents to hide their crimes. Sometimes fatally.6 Trinty Jones5 Kendrick Lee4 Ariel Sellers3 Roman Lopez2 Morgan Moore1 Timothy FergusonFacebook /mysteriouslylistedTwitter @mysteriouslistMusic is by Myuu Hosted on Acast.

There are 59 missing children listed in the Colorado Bureau of Investigation’s cold case database. And with the 2019 discovery of 12-year-old Jonelle Matthews’s remains 34 years after she went missing from her Greeley home, I feel it’s time to look at some of the children of the CBI database that have puzzled authorities for decades. Colorado’s missing children who vanished without a trace.

Tortured artist is a term we have all heard. And musicians are a breed of their own. Drugs, sex and rock and roll as it will. But there are certain mysteries in music that haunt the background of songs or silence between tracks. When it comes to musicians, a bright spotlight can often cast the darkest of shadows. Allowing those involved the greatest ability to hide, escape and, sometimes, disappear forever. 4 Connie Converse3 Jim Sullivan2 Liquorice McKechnie1 Richey EdwardsFacebook /mysteriouslylistedTwitter @mysteriouslistMusic is by Myuu Hosted on Acast.

True crime has almost become somewhat of a bedtime tale to relax for sleep of a night.

Investigators look at many methods of evidence to solve a crime. Forensic DNA. Witness testimony. Confessions from the perpetrator. In the cases we will discuss today, it would be the victims themselves that point the finger at their killer. Whether it be through a social media post, a diary entry or other interactions they had before their death. Each one of these victims left behind evidence that helped investigators to find their killer. 5 Tiana Notice4 Candace Parchment3 Annie Kasprzak2 Bryan Capnerhurst1 Brittany GargolFacebook /mysteriouslylistedTwitter @mysteriouslistMusic is by Myuu Hosted on Acast.

In the United States, approximately 4200 indigenous people go missing and are murdered. All unsolved. Although it is thought these numbers are way higher due to underreporting. We will get to that over the next couple of months. But even at the official numbers, these are alarming rates. On some reservations, women experience violence and are victims of homicide at ten times the rate of women in other communities. This is obviously a complex issue with prejudice and jurisdictional issues and these all play major roles. 8 Micheline Pare7 Monica Ignas6 Ramona Wilson5 Roxanne Thiara4 Ada Brown3 Aielah Auger2 Amber Tuccaro1 Rosenda StrongFacebook /mysteriouslylistedTwitter @mysteriouslistMusic is by Myuu Hosted on Acast.

According to the Oxygen website, 95 percent of hazing survivors do not report the hazing to officials. 2020 marked the first year in the last 60 that no hazing deaths recorded. But unfortunately, since then, there have been three in the last eighteen months. All related to alcohol intoxication.

The cases we will talk about today involves a murder victim or missing person who expressed fear or indicated that they were in danger just prior to their death or disappearance. They reached out to others to either ask for help or just simply state they were scared of hurt. Unfortunately, shortly after these messages were sent, the sender either vanished or were later found deceased. Even more terrifying is that all these cases are still unsolved. 4 Kanika Powell3 Brookelyn Farthing2 Jerry Castillo Jr1 Caitilin DennisonFacebook /mysteriouslylistedTwitter @mysteriouslistMusic is by Myuu Hosted on Acast.

Break up violence is common in relationships that were physically abusive. According to the Mississippi Coalition Against Domestic Violence, “women in abusive relationships are about 500 times more at risk when they leave”. However, break up violence can occur even if there was no history of violence. The Ohio Violence Free Coalition has made a strong effort to inform parents about break up violence which is an ongoing issue  amongst teens and young adults. According to their studies, “a person is more likely to be seriously injured and killed after a break up. And in 20% of relationship homicides, the killing itself was the first act of violence”. If anything, I hope the tragic cases we will talk about this week will serve as a reminder to take extra safety precautions when dealing with a potentially violent ex. 4 Amy Wensley3 Heather Stamper2 James Barry1 Cristina ProdanFacebook /mysteriouslylistedTwitter @mysteriouslistMusic is by Myuu Hosted on Acast.

But behind closed doors, all is not always what it seems.The three women we will talk about today were amongst the most beautiful in the world but sadly, their lives were cut far too short and in the most brutal and horrific of ways. Thank you to MAGIC MIND for sponsoring this week's episode.

For anyone who listens to my podcasts, you would know that I gravitate towards missing persons cases. There is something about a person living their lives one day and then vanishing without any explanation. Without any trace of their whereabouts the next. And then decades go by and the case goes cold. How can a person just disappear into thin air?The Charley Project is a detailed, amazing website that lists more then 14,000 missing person cases right across the United States. To me, it’s always sad when these profiles only have a sentence or two because of the lack of information available. But there are others whose disappearance is chilling to the core.

Many criminals do not act alone. In cases in which two people plot together to kill someone for a variety of different reasons. And there are also cases where criminals get help concealing the crime after the fact. Murders committed and concealed by two people.

It’s always shocking when it is revealed a crime was committed by a minor. When searching for their killer, investigators typically search for those who have patterns of violence and criminal activity. And while there are teens with a juvenile record, they don’t typically fit the profile of a potential murder suspect. And this is supported by statistics. Only 7% of murders that occur in the United States are committed by teenagers and young children. Heinous murders committed by teenagers.

In our episode on murders by strange weapons, we discussed the case of China Arnold. Arnold murdered her newborn baby by opening the microwave, placing her baby inside and then pushing the start button. She would microwave her baby for more then two minutes. Essentially cooking her daughter, Paris from the inside. 28-day-old Paris Talley would die from her injuries. And Arnold would receive a life sentence for her crime.Unfortunately, Arnold would not be the only case of parents doing the unthinkable. Using this ordinary, everyday household item to murder or seriously harm their own child. Murder by Microwave.

According to data from the FBI, over 50% of murder victims each year are killed by someone known to them. Such as a significant other, a co-worker or an acquaintance. Out of that 50%, almost half of those victims are killed by members of their own family. People who are killed by a member of their family. Ultimately betrayed by their own blood. This week on Mysteriously Listed.5 Rachel Pernosky4 Michael Howell3 Keaira Henderson2 Kailee McMullen1 Jamie HaggardFacebook /mysteriouslylistedTwitter @mysteriouslistMusic is by Myuu Hosted on Acast.
