The most recent episode available is “The Day Akia Disappeared,” a gripping account of a pregnant Maryland woman who vanished just before her own baby shower.

Other episodes available to stream include “Chameleon,” the chilling story of John Smith, a seemingly “really nice” guy with not one, but two missing wives. When Betty “Fran” Gladden-Smith, his second wife to vanish, mysteriously disappeared from her New Jersey home in 1991, her family was determined to bring Smith to justice.

In “Evil Walked Through the Door,” thanks to help from genetic genealogy, a surprising killer is revealed four decades after two Canadian women were brutally murdered in their own Toronto homes. Months apart, victims Erin Gilmour and Susan Tice were each found dead in 1983, rocking their communities. But it would take decades to track down the unassuming killer, who had been hiding in plain sight for years in a small Canadian town not far from the Arctic Circle.
