On November 18, 1978, in the depths of the Guyanese jungle, 12-year-old Tracy Parks faced an unimaginable choice: stay and risk certain death or flee into the dense wilderness with nothing but her father’s desperate words echoing in her mind: “Escape and don’t come back until it’s safe.” This was the day the world would come to know as the Jonestown massacre—a day of unthinkable tragedy, orchestrated by the manipulative cult leader Jim Jones.

As chaos erupted around her, Tracy disappeared into the jungle, hiding from gunmen patrolling the area and the hum of helicopters circling above. Alone and terrified, Tracy vowed to survive—and ensure that the truth about Jim Jones and his deadly cult would never be forgotten.

You might know about Jonestown, but this is the untold story of the little girl who lived.

Just 6 minutes later, police enter the pawn shop and are horrified to find 3 bodies. They soon determine that this triple homicide is no simple robbery gone wrong--instead, a shocking narrative is uncovered, involving betrayal, pawn shop gold, and a supposedly beloved pastor.

It’s Halloween night, 2004, when 911 dispatch receives a chilling call from a woman who desperately pleads for help: her roommates need immediate assistance. Lauren Meanza has just survived a brutal home invasion that claimed the lives of her two close friends, Adriane and Leslie. The scene is horrific, and the investigation begins with urgency as authorities work tirelessly to track down the unknown attacker.

As detectives dive deeper into the case, they even turn to psychics for guidance, hoping for a break that could lead them to the killer. But despite the desperate search, the truth is far more terrifying—no one suspects that the murderer is hiding in plain sight. The investigation takes unexpected twists, and as the search for justice continues, Lauren becomes a pivotal part of unraveling the mystery.

On May 16, 2005, police responding to a call from a concerned neighbor entered the Groene family’s quiet home in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, expecting to find answers to why no one had been seen in days. Instead, they uncovered a chilling scene of horror: three members of the Groene family were brutally murdered. As investigators worked to identify the victims, a terrifying discovery was made—two of the youngest family members, 9-year-old Dylan and 8-year-old Shasta, were missing. The urgency to locate them became a desperate race against time.

Unbeknownst to law enforcement, Shasta was already 100 miles away, trapped in the wilderness with her family’s killer, Joseph Duncan III. Isolated and afraid, Shasta was forced to rely on her courage and resourcefulness, all while enduring unimaginable terror. As the days turned into weeks, Shasta began to devise a plan to survive, knowing her life depended on outsmarting the very man who had destroyed her family.

DQ Manager Saves Kidnapped Teen From The ‘Leaf Killer’ | The Disturbing Case of Sarah Maynard

"I just know it, there's something wrong with my kids”

On November 11, 2010, the police arrived at Tina Hermann’s home after a frantic 911 call from her manager. Tina, a dependable worker, had missed an entire day without explanation—a disappearance completely out of character.

Inside the house, an eerie silence greeted them. The family was gone, but the scene left behind told a sinister story. Bloodstains, motor oil and a crumpled Walmart receipt hinted at a chilling sequence of events. One car was missing from the driveway. Then, officers found a disturbing clue: a single, woman-sized shoe print leading out of the house.

Someone had walked away alive.

As the community rallied to search for Tina, her children, and her boyfriend, the clock was ticking. Somewhere out there, 13-year-old Sarah found herself in a place beyond imagination—a secluded nightmare the locals would later call the house of leaves. Time was running out as she faced an unimaginable fight for survival against the Leaf Killer, Matthew Hoffman.

Sarah later wrote a book about her ordeal, titled The Girl in the Leaves.
