True Creeps: True Crime, Ghost Stories, Cryptids, Horrors in History & Spooky Stories

Join us while we provide updates on some of the cases we've already covered. We'll touch on the previously discussed disappearances of Taylor Johnson, Daniel Robinson, and Kimberly Avila as well as updates for the Cecil Hotel and Lake Lanier. We will also provide updates for the death of Dr. John Forsyth and the unsolved murders of both Mercedes Vega and Brian Egg.

Additionally, there are updates relating to the investigation against Anthony Robinson, who has been dubbed the Shopping Cart Killer. We will also talk about Robin Murphy, who pled guilty in relation to the murder Karen Marsden.

There was an important court win for Damien Echols of the West Memphis 3, who is seeking justice for three young boys, Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers. Echols, along with Jessie Misskelley Jr. and Jason Baldwin were suspected of murdering the young boy and spent 18 years in prison in relation to the crimes.
