🕯️ This October, we’re celebrating a full month of spine-chilling cases and urban legends! From unsolved mysteries to real-life horror stories, each week brings a new reason to sleep with the lights on. Tune in, lock your doors, and get ready for our Month of Spooky Episodes.
🎃 Halloween night, 1973. What began as an innocent evening of trick-or-treating in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, ended in unimaginable tragedy for 9-year-old Lisa Ann French — a bright, kindhearted girl whose disappearance would haunt a community for generations.
In this episode, we honor Lisa’s life — not just the horror of her final moments, but the light she brought to those who loved her. We explore how her murder shattered the small-town sense of safety, sparked national outrage, and forever changed Halloween traditions across America.
For over five decades, the fight for justice in Lisa’s case has never truly ended. From her killer’s controversial parole hearings to the continued outcry from those who refuse to forget, her story remains a powerful reminder that justice isn’t a single moment — it’s a lifelong pursuit.
