In January 1995, Colleen was 19 and 400 miles from home, a quiet, kind girl from Orange Park, Florida, chasing a computer certificate at the Knoxville Job Corps Center in Tennessee. She studied every night. She was there to succeed. And on a cold, wet Thursday night, she walked out of her dorm with three classmates… and never signed back in.This is the whole, real story of Colleen: who she was, what happened behind that old steam plant, the warnings nobody took seriously, and the mother who has spent three decades fighting for her daughter, piece by piece. Plus, where things stand right now, after Tennessee’s failed execution attempt made national headlines.Her name was Colleen Slemmer. Let’s make sure people remember it. 🚧 Don't…

80’s Spotify Playlist: https://spotify.link/yjmsrGPe8Db🕯️ THIS IS A NEW SERIES! It's the debut of my Death Through The Decades series. This episode features a Halloween murder at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in the 1980s. The videos in this series go in depth about what life was like in that decade. What policing was like in the 1980s, technology (or lack thereof), and what the culture was like. I'll be diving into the 80's, 90's, and the 2000's and I've lived through all three, so I've been there! I really hope you appreciate the nostalgia and connect even more with the people who have lost their lives and are frozen in time.

My Halloween Series has begun! The names of these series are chosen by the community every year & I reveal a special intro for each one. This one I the Festival of Fears! Our second case is The Taylor Van Diest case out of Canada. On Halloween night in 2011, 18-year-old Taylor Van Diest left her home in the small, close-knit town of Armstrong, British Columbia, dressed as a zombie and buzzing with excitement, and she was meeting up with friends for one last Halloween before they all grew up. It was a short, familiar walk she'd made countless times. She never arrived. As Taylor made her way through the dark, her phone lit up with texts between her and a friend; they were ordinary, happy messages about the night ahead. And then, one message changed everything. Taylor wrote that she thought she was "being creeped" - meaning that someone was following her in the dark. It would be the last anyone ever heard from her. In this episode of True Crime with Kimbyr, we trace the full Taylor Van Diest case: the vibrant…

Stephanie headed to her own place just minutes away. And then… nothing. When her car and phone were found at the house the next morning, but Stephanie was nowhere to be seen, her family knew immediately that something was horribly wrong, she would never leave without her phone, and never go silent on the people she loved. What followed was an agonizing search that would…

Jessica was a sophomore in high school; she was JUST starting her life. She was a gifted singer, played several musical instruments, loved cheerleading, and had just started dating her first boyfriend. Many of us can relate to Jessica in a lot of ways. That's why this one is hard to hear. She had no idea what was about to happen. What investigators pieced together about Jessica's final moments is as heartbreaking as it is chilling. The evidence told a story of a young girl who fought with everything she had who ran, who hid, who came agonizingly close to reaching safety. But for all the clues left behind in that cemetery, one answer stayed out of reach. The prime suspect was cleared. The leads dried up. And Jessica's case went cold for years, leaving a devastated family waiting for a truth that seemed like it might never come.…
