Most people in 2025 would never just leave their front door open, their credit cards, or identity information just lying around, but many times, that's what we’re doing online, sharing so much personal information out on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, and we often don't give it a second thought. For many shady people on the internet, that’s an opportunity to take advantage of unsuspecting people, including those who are older or less tech-savvy, as well as influencers, small business ow...

Las Vegas has long been plagued by high rates of violent crime—and a disturbingly low rate of resolution. In this anthology episode, we share the stories of four unsolved murders: Eugene Bell, Brittney Biggs, Celia Luna Delgado, and John Norris. Each case is tragic, each one baffling—and each deserves answers. Some of these victims were barely covered in the press. Others were quickly forgotten. But all left behind, grieving families who are still waiting for justice. We’re bringing their stor...

When people think about Lake Mead, they picture sunshine, water, and long weekends. But the stories we’re telling in this episode don’t end up in a photo album. They end in silence, suspicion, and grief. A missing mother. A woman whose name no one knew. A Marine who never made it home. A child left to drown. And a young immigrant weighed down in the water. These are stories the lake didn’t hide. They're stories we’ve chosen not to see. https://sinspod.co/86 https://sinspod.co/86blog https://s...

Diana Leone disappeared in February 2000, and the horrific details her young daughter shared with police about the last time she saw her mom left investigators and family members with little hope that Diana would be found alive.  We’ve talked before...

Diana Leone was a 35-year-old mother of two young children with softness in her cheeks, blond curls, with a spooked and haunted look in her eyes, foreshadowing what was coming. In the late 1980s Diana, not much more than a child herself, was caught in a terrifying abusive relationship with a monstrous man decades older than her just minutes from the glamor of the Las Vegas strip. Police records detail years of horrible abuse, shocking incidents, and dropped charges. In 1999 after a particularl...

Jean Moore and Al Henderson seemed like a happy older couple. They took a trip to Laughlin Nevada for a few days of gambling, won some money, and visited their favorite casinos in the smaller Las Vegas-like resort town. However on the final day of their trip, Jean disappeared without a trace, leaving Al in a panic trying to find her. Over the next few weeks though, authorities started to wonder if Jean had actually ever made it to Laughlin… https://sinspod.co/52sources Domestic Violence Resour...

Camille Dardanes Dotson vanished from Las Vegas in September of 1994. Her friends and loved ones chased down lead after lead, hoping to find any clue of what had happened to her. 30 years later, they are still searching. “Someone knows something” is a phrase you’ve heard us say many times on Sins & Survivors. When all the leads have dried up and all you’re left with are unanswered questions and theories, finding hope can be nearly impossible. Camille’s daughter Ashley hasn’t given up, and she’s...

It was after 9 pm on Sunday, October 5, 1980, when homicide detective John Trouble Williams was called out to the desert on the far outskirts of Henderson. Two brothers had discovered the remains of a teenage girl along the side of Arroyo Grande Boulevard. The girl would be known only as Jane Arroyo Grande Doe for more than 40 years until she was finally identified and given back her name. https://sinspod.co/episode40sources Domestic Violence Resources http://sinspod.co/resources Click here to...

The murder rate in Las Vegas from the early 1970s to the late 1980s was 3 to 5 times as high as it is now. Given the technology of the day and the fact that Las Vegas has always been somewhat transient with people constantly moving in and moving out, it was often difficult to identify victims. This week and next week, we’ll cover the cases of two teenagers who were murdered in Las Vegas during this time, reportedly as they were just passing through town on their way to California. It would be o...

Karla Rodriguez, whom her family called “Karlita” was like any other 7-year-old little girl living here in the Las Vegas Valley in the late 1990s. Her parents moved here to give their kids a better life and to pursue more opportunities. Karla disappeared on the evening of Wednesday, October 20th, 1999, and hasn't been seen since, but her family has never given up hope that she's out there somewhere, that she had the opportunity to grow up somehow. Police drew strong connections to serial kille...

Stephanie Isaacson was finishing up her freshman year at El Dorado High School in Las Vegas back on June 1st, 1989.

Stephanie never made it to school that day. In the wake of her murder, despite a vigorous investigation, the case soon went cold. It would be nearly 32 years before her family got the answer...
