In 1964, an 18-year-old girl was walking to school in Wausau, Wisconsin… and never made it.

Eleanor Kaatz was attacked in broad daylight on a quiet island. Stabbed nearly 50 times and left near the river, she was somehow still alive when she was found. But two days later, she died from her injuries.

The man responsible, Terry Caspersen, was caught almost immediately. What he admitted—and what investigators uncovered—painted the picture of a deeply disturbed young man capable of extreme violence.

But what makes this case even more unsettling… is that it didn’t end with her murder.

After serving years in prison, he was released—only to attack again.

This is the story of a murder that shocked a community, a victim who fought to survive, and a killer whose violence didn’t stop when it should have.

This January (2026), the disappearance of Fishers teen Hailey Buzbee took the internet by storm. What initially presented as a typical missing persons case began to shift as investigators uncovered more about her online connections and the events that led her to leave home suddenly in the middle of the night. FOX59 and CBS4’s Max Lewis returns to help break down the disturbing details and how this case fits into a larger pattern of online risk.

Speculation Station is parked in Morgantown, West Virginia, this week—where we examine the murders of two college freshmen whose case still lingers in uncertainty... despite *technically being closed.

When best friends Mared Malarik and Karen Ferrell disappeared after a night out at the movies, it was initially written off as a possible runaway situation or hitchhiking gone wrong. Months later, the community was confronted with a far darker and more disturbing reality when their bodies were discovered in the woods.

Strap in and let us know if YOU think they got it right in the 1970 WVU Coed Murders.

WVU Coed Murders: Who Killed Mared and Karen?

In November 2025, 22-year-old Rebecca Park disappeared from Wexford County while 38 weeks pregnant. Friends and family desperately searched for the young mother-to-be, hoping she and her unborn baby would be found safe.

Weeks later, investigators made a devastating discovery in the Manistee National Forest — turning a missing persons case into a horrifying murder investigation.

As detectives uncovered what happened, the truth led back to people Rebecca should have been able to trust the most.

In this episode, we break down the disappearance, the disturbing allegations, and the investigation into the tragic murder of Rebecca Park.

In January 2003, 40-year-old Lawrence “Larry” Groves vanished from his Lakeville, Indiana home.

Months later, after black flies swarmed the siding of his house and blackbirds gathered in the yard, a horrific discovery was made beneath a hidden trap door in the floor — Larry’s body, concealed in the crawl space under his home.

What followed was a case filled with unanswered questions, conflicting reports, suspicious activity, and DNA that led nowhere. Larry had fought back. Evidence was found. A person of interest was identified. And yet, more than two decades later, his murder remains unsolved.

Larry was openly gay in a time and place where that came with risk. He was vibrant, unapologetic, deeply loyal to his friends — and, according to some, overlooked by a community that didn’t always accept him.

Why didn’t this case receive more attention?

Who was banging on his door the night he was last heard from?

And how does a case with DNA evidence still go cold?

Today, we’re diving into the still-unsolved 2003 homicide of Lawrence Howard Groves — Indiana Cold Case #80 on the T.I.P.S. deck.

For anyone who might have information related to the homicide of Mr. Groves, they can call the Indiana State Police Cold Case hotline at 833-466-2653, send an email to ispcoldcase@isp.in.gov, or call the ISP Bremen Post at 574-546-4900 and ask to speak with Det. Arthur Smith. They can also contact Michiana Crime Stoppers and leave an anonymous tip.

After covering a string of heavy cases, we’re diving into one that’s equal parts shocking, infuriating, and unbelievable—but very real.

This episode unpacks the crimes of Mark Weinberger, a once-celebrated Indiana ENT known as “The Nose Doctor.” What appeared to be a thriving sinus surgery empire was, in reality, a massive scheme involving unnecessary and harmful surgeries, fraudulent insurance billing, and devastating consequences for hundreds of patients—including children.

When lawsuits and federal charges began closing in, Weinberger vanished—abandoning his wife on her birthday during a luxury trip to Greece and sparking an international manhunt straight out of Dateline. But his capture didn’t bring justice to everyone he harmed, and his story didn’t end there.

We break down the rise, fall, and disturbing aftermath of a doctor who mutilated patients for profit—and why cases like this are far more common than we want to believe. We also talk about red flags, patient advocacy, and how vulnerable populations are disproportionately harmed by medically unnecessary procedures.

This one is wild. And it matters.

In April 1988, eight-year-old April Marie Tinsley disappeared while walking in her Fort Wayne, Indiana neighborhood — and three days later her body was found in a ditch, the victim of a brutal kidnapping, sexual assault, and strangulation. What followed would become one of Indiana’s most haunting cold cases: for more than 30 years, the killer remained at large, taunting investigators and the community with cryptic notes and DNA-linked clues left around town.

Despite extensive local and federal investigation, including leads on threatening messages discovered in the 1990s and 2000s, the case went unresolved — until advances in forensic genealogy finally broke it open. In 2018, investigators used cutting-edge DNA analysis and genealogy databases to identify John D. Miller, a reclusive local man, as the perpetrator.

In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional and investigative journey behind the case — and sit down with Captain Kevin Smith of the Indiana State Police, who leads the newly formed ISP cold case team. Captain Smith shares firsthand insights from years of painstaking work, the challenges of tracking a killer across decades, and how evolving forensic tools finally brought justice for April. It’s a story of loss, persistence, and the relentless pursuit of answers that no case — no matter how old — should be forgotten.

In August 1987, teenagers Don Henry and Kevin Ives were killed when a freight train struck them as they lay on railroad tracks near Alexander, Arkansas. Authorities initially ruled the deaths an accident, claiming the boys had fallen asleep on the tracks. But their families challenged that conclusion, leading to a second autopsy and a grand jury ruling the case a probable homicide.

As the investigation unfolded, witnesses died under suspicious circumstances, allegations of corruption surfaced, and theories emerged suggesting the teens may have witnessed criminal activity. Despite decades of scrutiny, media attention, and persistent efforts by the victims’ families, the case remains unsolved, leaving lingering questions about what truly happened on the tracks that night.
