REDRUM true crime

In December 1991, 4 teenage girls - Jennifer Harbison, Sarah Harbison, Amy Ayers, and Eliza Thomas - were brutally murdered inside an Austin yogurt shop after closing time, in one of the most horrifying crimes in Texas history. Bound, shot execution-style, sexually assaulted, and left inside a store deliberately set on fire, the case shocked the nation and launched a decades-long investigation filled with controversy, mistakes, and unanswered questions.
Police eventually arrested 4 young men, with 2, Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen, convicted after giving confessions they later claimed were coerced. As forensic insight, conflicting evidence, and allegations of aggressive interrogation tactics came to light, the case began to unravel.
Over 30 years after the murders, advances in DNA technology identified an entirely different suspect: a violent serial offender who was connected to sexual assaults, murders, home invasions, and a trail of violence across multiple states.
In this episode of REDRUM, we break down the full timeline of the Austin Yogurt Shop Murders, the catastrophic investigation, the wrongful convictions, the detective later accused of coercing confessions, and the DNA evidence that finally revealed the truth.
But after decades of false starts, ruined lives, and one of America’s most haunting cold cases… how did investigators end up accusing the wrong men while the real killer remained hidden in plain sight?

On July 31st 2022, a devastating 100mph car crash in Strongsville, Ohio left 2 teenage boys dead. At first, it looked like a tragic accident. But investigators would soon uncover evidence that suggested something far darker…Dominic Russo and his best friend, Davion Flanagan, had accepted a lift home after a summer party with Dominic’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, Mackenzie Shirilla. Minutes later, the car slammed into a brick building at catastrophic speed. Dominic and Davion were killed instantly. Mackenzie survived.What followed shocked even seasoned investigators.Data pulled from the vehicle revealed no attempt to brake.
Witnesses came forward describing an allegedly toxic relationship marked by threats, manipulation, and one chilling warning: “I will crash this car right now.”
Then came the GPS evidence, toxicology results, social media posts, and allegations that raised one haunting question... was this really an accident at all?
This is the story of love turned volatile, control, obsession, and the split-second decision that destroyed multiple families forever… but as detectives began piecing together the final hours before impact, they uncovered something that would change the entire case... and make people question whether this crash had been planned long before anyone got into that car.

On the 7th of October, 2019, police in Cape Coral came face to face with a man named Wade Wilson during a domestic violence investigation involving his ex-girlfriend. Bodycam footage captured the tense interaction as officers tried to stop him from leaving… but Wade drove away. At that moment, police had no idea they were speaking to a man who had already murdered one woman ...and who, just hours later, would abduct and kill another.

In this episode of REDRUM, we unravel the terrifying timeline behind the murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz, the warning signs leading up to the killings, the disturbing history of violence and abuse that came before, and the investigation that followed as detectives raced to piece together a rapidly escalating nightmare. From the brutal assault outside Mila spa, to Wade’s chilling confessions, his attempted escape, controversial police handling of earlier allegations, and the media frenzy that later surrounded the case, this is one of the most shocking true crime stories in recent years.

But beneath the headlines, viral clips, and the “Deadpool Killer” nickname, are 2 women whose lives were stolen in acts of horrific violence… and a timeline that raises haunting questions about whether this tragedy could ever have been prevented.

And by the time investigators realised what Wade Wilson had actually done that day… it was already far too late.

Some 911 calls are disturbing.
Some are heartbreaking.
But very few capture the exact moment a murder is taking place.

When Deanna Cook called emergency services in the early hours of August 17th 2012, she was terrified. In the background, dispatchers could hear chaos unfolding inside her home… confusion… panic… and then, something far more sinister.

Deanna was begging for help, and a male voice in the background said "I'll kill you".

But despite the call.
Despite the audio.
Despite the warning signs…

Nobody came in time.

And even more horrifying? After the line went dead, Deanna wouldn’t be found for nearly TWO DAYS.

As friends and family desperately searched for answers, the truth inside that house remained hidden... while the person responsible walked free.

In this episode of REDRUM, I dig into the chilling timeline of Deanna's final hours, the haunting 911 recording that left investigators stunned, and the devastating moment her loved ones made the discovery no family should ever have to make.

What really happened inside Deanna’s home that night?
Why did it take so long for anyone to realise she was dead?
And could this murder have been prevented?

Because when detectives finally pieced together the truth… they uncovered a case far darker than anyone first imagined.

The true crime case behind one of the most viewed 6 seconds of court footage online.On an seemingly ordinary evening in Carlsbad, California, a father followed a set of instructions he believed would clear his name… but instead, he walked straight into an ambush.
This is the chilling case of Diana Lovejoy and Greg Mulvihill.
A bitter divorce that spiralled into allegations, paranoia, and a plot that was unbelievably calculated. As custody battles intensified and accusations of abuse surfaced, Greg found himself fighting not just for access to his young son, but for his reputation, his freedom… and ultimately, his life.
Then came the message that changed everything: potentially, a chance to prove his innocence. But hidden in the darkness of a remote hiking trail, someone was waiting.What followed was a series of gunshots, a desperate fight to survive, and an investigation that would unravel a web of manipulation, deception, and a relationship far more dangerous than anyone realised.But the biggest question wasn’t just who pulled the trigger……it was who had been planning it all along.
