Every week Kristin, Kelli, Leah, and Alisan watch, discuss, and dissect the best and most unsettling horror films, TV shows, true crime, and paranormal content out there, then pair each one with a wine recommendation because that's just how we do things. We cover prestige horror TV like FROM, THEM, and Lovecraft Country, deep dives into horror film and true crime, ghost stories, Stephen King adaptations, UAP research, unsolved mysteries, and the occasional theory that will make you question the fabric of reality itself. If it's scary, strange, or deeply disturbing, we're watching it, investigating it, and talking about it with a glass in hand. New episodes every week. Find us wherever you listen to podcasts. Hosted on Ausha.

The body of the missing person, Melissa Casias, has been found. Eleven months after Melissa Casias vanished from a highway in Talpa, New Mexico, human remains were found by a hiker in the Rio Chiquito section of Carson National Forest. On May 31, 2026, those remains were officially identified as Melissa. She was 53, an administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and she had been the subject of one of the largest volunteer search efforts in recent New Mexico memory. The cause and manner of Melissa Casias' death have not been determined. A handgun was found alongside her remains. And her family, in their first public statement, said she was found in an area that had already been searched. Then they said they intend to pursue justice. This episode is a full case review and update: what we know, what the evidence does not explain, and why this story is only entering its second chapter.
