Imagine, if you can, the torment, the confusion. Her brilliant daughter vanished without warning, without a word. I didn't know how to start looking for. So what does that like? It's hell. It's just frustration and just helplessness. But the disappearance of Nancy Reni's daughter, Carrie, was quite unlike any other. Because Carrie hadn't exactly vanished, but retreated beyond the shadows,

to release rage in torrents of text messages, to wound her worried family, and terrorize that, man. How would you get 50, 60 a day? A day? Yeah, all day long. Was there brief fling so terrible? Why all that hate?

Why deadly attacks on an imagined rival? 911, do you need police, fire, or medics? Fire, I can walk into my house, and they're smoke rolling out of it. Angry, very. vengeful, tireless, Carrie. And it just went on and on and on for years. I haven't watched the other severe emergency.

Oh, yeah, I've been shot. And innocent people caught in the middle. Reblamed. Even framed. The detective just kept yelling at me. There's something you need to tell us, and I didn't know anything. Our latest podcast takes us to America's Midwest, to a blooming love story. She walks in, I see her, we meet eyes, and just for a moment I kind of stop, and I go, well, hello.

A love story that withered fast. Stalking is very, very jarring on the nerves. Beyond diabolical, beyond the macabre, beyond the arson, to murder. It sounds like you're in the middle of a horror movie or something. Yeah. In our line of work, we're never surprised by what people can do. I was blown away. Absolutely blown away.
