911 Mocks Kidnapped Mom Freezing To Death | The Case of Teri Jendusa-Nicolai

"I can't die – I have to save my girls”

At 11:05 AM, on the 31st of January in 2004, a 911 operator answers the phone to a woman breathing heavily, but not saying anything. Another call comes through, and this time an address is given, but when the police arrive at the scene, they only find an empty handgun case, sweatpants, and a large red stain on the carpet. With time running out, and just a few clues, the police need to catch who did this, and find Teri Jendusa-Nicolai and her 2 daughters before it’s too late.

Teri Jendusa-Nicolai is an advocate for Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin, which passed in 2020, giving equal rights to victims of serious crimes. You can read more about Teri’s work here: https://www.equalrightsforwi.com/icymi-victimsdese... https://www.jsonline.com/story/opinion/contributor...

Mom Disappears – 20 Years Later Her Daughter Finds This in her Diary | The Case Of Lalana Bramble

Mom Disappears – 20 Years Later Her Daughter Finds This in her Diary | The Case Of Lalana Bramble

"He tried to hide it, but I know what I saw”

On October 12th, 1980, a typical day turns into a lifelong mystery for 4-year-old LaLana Bramble and her older brother Donald. Their mother, Marlene Oakes, who vanishes earlier that same day without a trace. There are no signs of struggle, no clues pointing to her whereabouts, and no immediate suspects. Left to grow up with unanswered questions, Lalana and her brother are burdened with the emotional weight of their mother’s disappearance, which remains shrouded in secrecy for years.

As LaLana grows older, she refuses to let the mystery of her mother’s disappearance fade into the past. Driven by a deep need for closure, she begins to piece together fragments of her childhood and pursue any lead that could shed light on what happened that day in 1980. What she uncovers is far darker than she could have imagined: disturbing family secrets buried for decades, pointing to hidden motives and a tangled web of betrayal, leading back to clues she finds in her mother's diary involving her father, Bill Major.

Through years of persistence, LaLana ultimately answers the question haunting her since childhood: What really happened to her mom—and why did someone want her to disappear?

Time is running out—they have only six hours to escape and find safety before the consequences of their actions catch up to them. The sisters have just handed over crucial evidence to police, the very piece that will expose the deadly plot orchestrated by none other than their own mother, Celeste Beard.
Celeste, who married wealthy Austin media mogul Steven Beard, masterminded a twisted scheme to murder him in a bid to secure his fortune. With manipulation and deceit, she even managed to involve her friend and lover, Tracey Tarlton, to carry out the brutal crime. For years, Celeste had carefully crafted her facade, hiding her dark intentions until her daughters’ brave decision to step forward with the truth finally revealed the shocking extent of her guilt. The secrets and lies of this chilling case, marked by betrayal, greed, and psychological manipulation, mean that Kristina and Jennifer Beard will have to run for their lives if they want to ensure justice for Steven's murderer.
