On December 9, 2001, Kathleen and Michael are enjoying their evening together having a couple glasses of wine, talking about the upcoming christmas festivities, work, the kids. Kathleen goes inside the house while Michael stays out to enjoy the rest of the evening sitting by their pool. When he decides to go inside, he finds Kathleen at the bottom of the stairs and calls 911. Michael Peterson called 911 at 2:40 a.m. to report that his wife had fallen down 15-20 steps.

Kayla Mae Berg was born on a late summer day, August 29, 1994, in Wausau, Wisconsin, and spent her childhood roaming the gentle rolling hills of central Wisconsin. By August 11, 2009, the air in Antigo held a hot, muggy hush as the sun dipped toward the horizon. Fifteen-year- old Kayla climbed into a friend’ s car just after dusk, hoping to see her on-again, off-again boyfriend. She never came home. That evening, after a brief stop at the McDonald’ s on 5th Avenue— where the golden glow of the menu board reflected in her curious eyes— Kayla was driven to a vacant, half-renovated house in Wausau. No one saw her leave, and no trace of her has been found since. Fourteen years— and counting—of tireless searches, interviews, and dead ends have left her family and investigators without answers. The case remains open, the mystery unsolved.

The early summer dawn at Lake Bodom was deceptively tranquil: mist curled above the dark water, frogs croaked in the reeds, and pale birch trunks gleamed silver in the pre-sunshine haze. Yet in the small clearing near Espoo’s Oittaa Manor, the placid surface concealed a horror that would haunt Finland for decades. On the night of 4 June 1960, Maila Irmeli Björklund, fifteen, and her friend Anja Tuulikki Mäki, also fifteen, pitched a small canvas tent beside the lake’ s pebbled shore. Joining them were their boyfriends, eighteen-year-olds Seppo Boisman and Nils Gustafsson, laughing and passing around cigarettes as they settled down to sleep under a vault of sparkling stars.

Ellen Rae Greenberg (June 23, 1983 – January 26, 2011) was a gentle-voiced first-grade teacher whose life ended in a haunting blur of blood, bruises, and unanswered questions. On that frigid January evening, her body was discovered bearing twenty jagged stab wounds—ten driven deep into her back and neck—and eleven dark bruises across her arm, abdomen, and leg. Despite the brutality of her injuries and the whisper of foul play that trailed through Philadelphia’ s corridors, her death was officially declared a suicide, igniting a firestorm of debate, legal battles, and worldwide media scrutiny.

Hogmanay (Scots pronunciation HOG-mə-nay or HOG-mə-NAY) is the Scots word for the last day of the old year and the celebration of the New Year in Scotland. Officially observed from 31 December through 2 January (with 1 and 2 January designated bank holidays), Hogmanay often spills over into January’s first morning or even 2 January. In some contexts, “ Hogmanay” denotes the entire festive stretch from the final days of December into the opening days of January, as seen in Edinburgh’ s multi-day celebrations.

This week we will be pivoting from our case coverage since this episode is coming out on a holiday week. We will be talking about the legend of the Yule Cat.

The Yule Cat (Jólakötturinn) is a terrifying, giant feline from Icelandic folklore that prowls the countryside at Christmas, eating people who haven't received new clothes before Christmas Eve, serving as a spooky incentive for hard work and finishing knitting. Linked to the mischievous Yule Lads and their ogress mother, Grýla, the Cat ensures diligence in wool production and charity, with wealthier families giving extra socks to protect the poor from its hungry claws. `

The night of June 9 into the early hours of June 10, 1912, placed in Villisca, Iowa, by an unspeakable brutality. In the modest Moore house, six members of the well-liked Moore family—Josiah B. (43), his wife Sarah (39), and their children Herman (11), Mary Katherine (10), Arthur (7), and Paul (5)—along with their two young guests, Ina Mae Stillinger (8) and Lena Gertrude Stillinger (11), lay dead, each skull shattered by the same heavy axe. By dawn, investigators would stand in stunned silence before the scene: eight bodies arranged in their beds, the killer’s weapon still smeared with blood, and every mirror in the home draped in cloth as though to ward off prying eyes or restless spirits.

For seven years, Mike Maddux combed every homeless shelter in Colorado Springs, explored campgrounds throughout Pike National Forest, and watched countless strangers’ faces on the street, all in search of his missing son.

Joshua “Josh” Maddux was born March 9, 1990, to Mike and Roberta Maddux in Woodland Park, Colorado, a town of roughly 8,000 set against the Pike National Forest. Its preserved downtown buildings and surrounding hills made it a nature lover’s haven. Josh, the fourth of five children and the family’s youngest son, was homeschooled until his parents divorced. He then attended public school while living with his father and two older sisters, Kate and Ruth, in a house nestled between town and forest. An avid hiker and wildlife watcher, Josh spent every free moment outdoors.
