Triggered - The True Crime Podcast

In 1976, the residents of Circleville, Ohio started receiving anonymous letters and whoever was writing them knew everyone's secrets. Affairs, corruption, personal threats. The campaign escalated for nearly two decades, culminating in a booby-trapped gun on a bus driver's route, a conviction that left more questions than answers, and letters that kept arriving even after the supposed writer was locked up in isolation. The identity of the Circleville Letter Writer has never been confirmed.

Dylan Redwine was 13 years old. He didn't want to go. But it was court-ordered, so on November 18, 2012, he flew to Durango, Colorado to spend Thanksgiving with his father.

He never came home.

This week, Chantal and Ashley cover the full story: the troubled family dynamic, the years-long search, and the trial that finally brought justice. In 2021, after nearly a decade of fighting, Mark Redwine was convicted of murder and sentenced to 48 years in prison.

Dylan deserved to go home. This one's for him.

In this episode, we're diving into three cases where the lines between this world and whatever comes next got very, very blurry. A grieving stepmother whose nightmares led investigators straight to a body hidden in a barn. A murdered woman who came back, through someone else's voice, to name her own killer. And a father standing next to a chilling and ironic tv commercial, caught on camera in a moment so strange it still doesn't have a good explanation.

Shanann Watts. Teresita Basa. Maria Marten.

Three cases. Three moments where something felt like it reached back from the other side. Whether you believe or you don't, these stories are going to stay with you.

It was a Saturday night in November 1973. Five teenagers from Sioux Falls sat around a campfire in the Gitchie Manitou State Preserve — laughing, singing, passing the evening the way teenagers do. Then came the sound of leaves crunching in the dark.

What unfolded in that Iowa nature preserve would leave four young people dead, one thirteen-year-old girl fighting for her life, and an entire community shattered. The killers were three brothers who had stumbled into the park looking to poach deer and decided, on a horrifying impulse, to take something else entirely.

Jamie Kirk Hahn was twenty-nine years old, a political strategist who knew everybody and fought for everything. Her husband Nation had been her partner in every sense of the word. And they were both surrounded by people who loved them, including Nation's oldest friend, Jon, who'd been there since they were kids growing up in Lenoir.

This is a story about grief. About a woman whose life was taken far too soon. And about the people who tried to hold each other up in the aftermath.

It's also a story about something darker. Something that was hiding in plain sight.
