  Raymond Horsch and the Investigation Into Seven Missing Women

  Oct 3, 202620 min

  Police investigating Philadelphia artist and filmmaker Raymond Horsch are examining an enormous collection of digital material as they try to determine whether his disturbing fictional work may have connections to real missing women. The investigation began after Horsch’s son, Eugene, was arrested following an encounter involving identification belonging to a missing woman. A subsequent search of Raymond Horsch’s home uncovered extensive digital files, writings, artwork and video footage that investigators are now reviewing. Authorities have identified several missing or unidentified women while examining the material, and more than a million pieces of digital evidence are reportedly under review. No bodies have been recovered, and investigators are still working to establish what the evidence shows and whether any crimes can be connected to the women’s disappearances. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we examine the Horsch investigation, the evidence authorities say they have uncovered, and the unanswered questions surrounding the missing women.

  Laura Owens: The Pregnancy Claims That Ended in Felony Charges

  Oct 1, 202617 min

  In 2023, former Bachelor star Clayton Echard became involved in a highly publicized paternity dispute after Laura Owens claimed she was pregnant with twins following an intimate encounter between them. Echard disputed the pregnancy and requested DNA testing. As the case moved through family court, questions emerged about the pregnancy evidence Owens had provided and whether the paternity proceedings had been brought in good faith. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we examine how the dispute began, the DNA testing, the medical evidence presented, and the family court proceedings that ultimately resulted in a judge ordering Owens to pay nearly $150,000 in legal fees. We also look at the criminal investigation that followed, the allegations involving other men, and the felony case brought against Owens. In August 2026, Owens pleaded guilty to four felony charges. We examine how a dispute that began with a pregnancy claim developed into a much larger legal case. Follow True Crime Recaps for new true crime episodes every week. Learn more about your ad choices.

  Jeanne Clery: The Case That Changed Campus Safety in America

  Sep 29, 202612 min

  In 1986, 19-year-old Jeanne Clery was a student at Lehigh University when another student gained access to her dormitory through security doors that had been propped open. Joseph Henry was later convicted in connection with Jeanne's death, but for her parents, Howard and Connie Clery, the case exposed much bigger questions about campus security and what colleges were required to tell students about crime. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we look at Jeanne's story, the circumstances surrounding what happened at Lehigh University, and her parents' campaign for greater transparency and accountability on college campuses. Their efforts helped lead to landmark federal legislation in 1990, later known as the Clery Act, which changed how colleges and universities report crime and communicate campus safety information to students. This is the story of Jeanne Clery, her family's campaign for change, and the legacy that continues on American campuses today. Follow True Crime Recaps for new true crime episodes every week.

  Her Family Tracked Her Jeep With an AirTag and Uncovered a Crime

  Sep 26, 202617 min

  In August 2026, 18 year old Karoline Heintz had dinner with her family before heading back to college. The freshman soccer player was studying at PennWest California with hopes of becoming a doctor. But when she suddenly stopped responding to calls and messages, her family began searching for her. An AirTag inside Karoline’s Jeep eventually helped her family locate the vehicle near a library. After they asked police to check on her, an officer approached the Jeep and discovered Karoline deceased inside. Investigators allege Karoline had stopped to see her boyfriend, 18 year old Royce Moser, before returning to campus. Police accuse Royce of killing Karoline following a conversation about their relationship. Prosecutors further allege that his mother, Rachel Moser, later helped clean the vehicle and dispose of evidence before the Jeep was abandoned. At a preliminary hearing, prosecutors presented surveillance footage, cellphone records and other evidence they say helped reconstruct the events of that night. Investigators also reported recovering deleted communications and internet searches they believe are relevant to the alleged attempt to conceal evidence. Royce faces criminal homicide and related charges, while Rachel faces charges including evidence tampering and hindering apprehension. The case has not gone to trial. Neither defendant has been convicted, and both are presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Follow True Crime Recaps for weekly cases examining real investigations and the justice system.

  Martha McKay: The Snowden Estate Case That Spanned 24 Years

  Sep 24, 202613 min

  In 1996, a fire at the historic Snowden Mansion in Arkansas led investigators to discover that Sally Snowden McKay and her nephew, musician Joseph “Lee” Baker, had died before the fire began. The investigation soon focused on 16-year-old Travis Lewis, who lived on the same estate with his family. Lewis eventually pleaded guilty to two counts of capital murder and was sentenced to prison. But the story of Snowden House did not end there. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we examine the original 1996 investigation, the evidence that led authorities to Travis Lewis, and the extraordinary events that unfolded more than two decades later. After his release from prison in 2018, Lewis received support from Sally's daughter, Martha McKay, who had chosen to forgive him and later gave him work on the family estate. In 2020, another tragedy at Snowden House brought Lewis and the McKay family together for the final time. We look at how two events separated by 24 years became connected to the same historic Arkansas estate, and the remarkable story of forgiveness at the centre of the case.
