True Crime with Kendall Rae

In January 2018, 19-year-old University of Pennsylvania student Blaze Bernstein disappeared while visiting his family in California. Days later, his body was discovered, and the investigation led authorities to a former high school classmate. What unfolded was a heartbreaking case of betrayal, hatred, and a young life cut tragically short. This episode remembers Blaze, his life, and the devastating consequences of hate.

In June 2021, 42-year-old Ryan Cooper was found shot to death inside his family home in rural Iowa. His wife, Karina, called 911, claiming someone had broken into their home and killed her husband while he slept. But what initially appeared to be a home invasion would soon unravel into a far more complicated story of secrets, betrayal and deception.
Huge thanks to StayAwake Crime & Psychology.

In February 2026, 37-year-old Ashley Flynn was found shot to death inside her home in Tipp City, Ohio, after her husband, Caleb, called 911 claiming an intruder had broken in. But months later, Caleb was standing trial for Ashley’s murder. Over several days of testimony, jurors heard about a secret affair, thousands of text messages, a missing gun and evidence prosecutors said showed the supposed break-in had been staged. Now, a jury has found Caleb guilty of murdering his wife. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the evidence presented at trial, the arguments from both sides and the final verdict itself. 
If you’re unfamiliar with the case of Ashley Flynn, please check the back catalogue for my original episode from July 9th, 2026.

On May 26th, 2012, 23-year-old Lisa Techel was found shot to death in her bed at her home in rural Iowa. Lisa was 17 weeks pregnant with her first child, and suspicion immediately fell on a neighbour who had been involved in an ongoing dispute with her and her husband. But as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered secret relationships, intimate text messages and a missing shotgun. What followed was a complicated case that would take three trials and two hung juries before Lisa and her family finally got answers.

In September 2022, 25-year-old Arelie Garcia left her home in Salinas, California, early one morning. Just before 7am, she sent her sister a familiar “good morning” text... but she never arrived at work and was never seen again. Later that day, her car was found more than an hour away in Big Sur, with her phone, wallet and keys still inside.
