  Episode 251:Brandon, oh, Brandon! Where Art Thou?

  Aug 12, 202642 min

  A wrong turn. A 47-minute phone call. Two little words. And then… absolutely nothing. This week we’re covering the disappearance of 19-year-old Brandon Swanson. Was it a tragic accident? Did Brandon fall into the river? Did something happen after he made it across? Or is there another explanation for why extensive searches have never found Brandon, his clothing, or any definitive trace of what happened to him? And THEN there’s the response his parents initially received when they tried to report him missing: he had a “right to be missing.” Now tell us what you think: Did Brandon end up in the water? Was there an accident somewhere searchers never reached? Foul play? Or is the answer hiding somewhere in those final 47 minutes? Slide into our Instagram DMs with your theories, your responsibly wild speculation, and—PLEASE—your case suggestions. ️ Better yet, send us a voice memo. We love hearing your beautiful little crime-weirdo voices. Follow the chaos: Instagram: @cursewordsandcrayons Zee: @mrs.zette Amy: @amyrehsdupin

  Episode 250: Maritime Murders

  Aug 5, 202634 min

  A beautiful family sailing vacation. A brutal murder at sea and the one eleven-year-old girl who survived. This week we're covering the incredible survival story of Terry Jo Duperrault—a case that somehow manages to be equal parts heartbreaking, horrifying, and completely unbelievable. We're diving into: ⛵ A dream family vacation that became a floating crime scene One of the most unbelievable survival stories in true crime history An eleven-year-old girl drifting alone in the Atlantic for days ⚖️ A captain with a dark secret and a motive no one saw coming A case that still feels impossible more than sixty years later Honestly... if someone pitched this as a movie script, we'd all complain it was too unrealistic. But somehow... it really happened. Tell us what you think: Had you heard Terry Jo's story before? Is this one of the most unbelievable survival stories you've ever heard? We want your thoughts, your feelings, and your responsibly unhinged theories in our DMs. ️ Have a case suggestion? Send us a 10–30 second voice memo over on Instagram! We love featuring your recommendations and hearing your voices on the show. Follow the chaos: Instagram: @cursewordsandcrayons Zee: @mrs.zette Amy: @amyrehsdupin ️ Merch, episodes, and more: www.cursewordsandcrayons.com Until next time: wear your life jacket, trust your gut, and remember that sometimes the strongest person in the story is only eleven years old.

  Episode 249: Tiger Parent Story Time

  Jul 29, 202649 min

  A tiger mom. A fake college degree and a home invasion that wasn't. This week on Cursewords and Crayons: TRUE CRIME, we're covering the unbelievable case of Jennifer Pan—a woman who spent years pretending to be the perfect daughter while secretly building a life that existed almost entirely in her imagination. On the outside, Jennifer had it all: supportive parents, good grades (supposedly), and a bright future. Behind closed doors? Fake report cards, fake scholarships, fake college classes, fake jobs... and eventually, a plan that would change her family forever. What starts as a terrifying home invasion quickly unravels into one of the most jaw-dropping deception cases we've ever talked about. We're diving into: A lifetime built on lies A staged home invasion that fooled almost no one ️ One police interview that completely changes everything This case has everything we love to spiral over: complicated family dynamics, lies stacked on top of lies, investigators patiently letting someone talk themselves into a corner, and enough plot twists to make you question every thing. At what point do you tell your parents you didn't actually graduate instead of... this? Tell us what you think: Was Jennifer backed into a corner? Was this years of manipulation finally exploding? Or was this simply calculated murder from the start? DM us your theories, your hot takes, and your responsibly unhinged speculation—we absolutely live for it. Follow the chaos: Instagram: @cursewordsandcrayons Zee: @mrs.zette Amy: @amyrehsdupin Until next time: tell the truth before it requires a police interrogation, trust your gut, and maybe don't build your entire personality on fake report cards.
