The sources detail the frantic search for Chantay after she vanished during her evening walk and the discovery of her body in a dilapidated "haunted house" two days later. Investigators initially struggled with few leads, but a breakthrough came through advanced DNA phenotyping by Parabon NanoLabs, which created a composite sketch of the suspect.

• Baltimore’s Leakin Park - The Scariest Place in America

  The source provides an extensive overview of Leakin Park in Baltimore, Maryland, focusing on its notorious reputation as America's largest unregistered cemetery due to the high volume of human remains found there over half a century. The park, despite being a large area of urban wilderness with significant history, became a prime location for body dumping starting in the 1970s following urban decline and crime increases in surrounding neighborhoods. The episode details how the park’s rugged geography and dense cover made it ideal for concealment, leading to the discovery of dozens, possibly hundreds, of bodies, and cemented its infamy after the 2014 Serial podcast highlighted the murder of Hae Min Lee, whose body was discovered there. Although the park retains its frightening aura—with new remains being found as recently as 2025—a determined group of volunteers and conservationists is actively working to restore the park’s natural beauty and encourage civic engagement to overcome its dangerous reputation. Ultimately, the park is described as a complex place where natural beauty and grim violence coexist.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.

• British Teen Vanishes Near Dracula’s Castle After Frantic Emergency Call

  The episode offers a detailed account of the disappearance of George Smyth, an 18-year-old British tourist who vanished in the unforgiving Carpathian Mountains near Bran Castle, Romania, after attempting a difficult solo winter hike. The source explains that Smyth, who was fascinated by "dark tourism" and vampire lore, disregarded numerous warnings and was dangerously under-equipped for the challenging, unmarked route, leading to a catastrophic emergency call where he claimed something was following him. While authorities attribute the vanishing to a tragic mountaineering accident involving hypothermia and disorientation, the proximity to Dracula’s Castle has fueled intense international media and internet speculation about supernatural elements or wolf attacks. The search operation quickly located his abandoned backpack and a cryptic note but failed to find Smyth, transforming the event into a widely reported cautionary tale about reckless behavior in hazardous terrain.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.
