In April 2023, Alberto Rolón and Zoraida Bartolomei unlocked the door to their first home in Romeoville, Illinois. They’d worked opposite shifts while raising their sons, Adriel and Diego, and now the boys had a backyard of their own.

Five months later, police were called to the house on Concord Avenue. What they found inside left the neighborhood grieving. As detectives pieced together what happened, they uncovered a trail of threatening messages. The threats sounded real. The people behind them were harder to pin down.

Join Cam and Jen of Our True Crime Podcast as we discuss ‘Catfished: Romeoville Family Murders.’

In this episode Jen and Cam talk to Eric Carter-Landin, host of True Consequences. Eric shares the heartbreaking story of his nine-month-old brother, Jacob, who was tragically killed in 1987 in Socorro, New Mexico. Unlike most cold cases where no one knows who committed the crime, Jacob’s family has spent decades asking one painful question: why was the main suspect never arrested or charged?

Join us as Eric talks about Jacob’s bright personality, the frustrating police mistakes that stalled the case, and how he turned his grief into action. Through his podcast True Consequences and his non-profit event Advocacy Conferece, Eric gives families of missing and murdered loved ones a safe, supportive space to seek justice.

If you would like to help send families of missing and unsolved case victims to the conference, fully covered: admission for two, two nights' hotel stay, and meals. You can donate HERE.

You can also make a donation to Angels Voices Silenced No More.
Your donation directly helps families of missing and murdered loved ones in New Mexico access vital support, from private investigations, billboards, and DNA testing to funeral costs and therapy, giving them the tools they need to seek justice and heal.

On October 30, 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley went out for a night of fun with her friends. They were playing harmless Halloween pranks in their wealthy, gated neighborhood of Belle Haven in Greenwich, Connecticut. Martha was popular, friendly, and happy. But the very next afternoon, her body was found under a pine tree in her own backyard. Someone had beaten and stabbed her with a golf club that belonged to her rich next-door neighbors, the Skakel family.

On a street where everyone knew everyone, a brutal murder shattered the illusion of safety. Was it a tragic act of teenage rage, or did wealth and power buy decades of silence?

Join Jen and Cam as we discuss " Under the Pine: The Murder of Martha Moxley."

In the summer of 1997, thirteen-year-old Maryann Measles was spending time with an older crowd in New Milford, Connecticut. Her mother, Cyndi, didn’t like it, and she especially didn’t like the attention Keith Foster was giving her daughter.

He called Maryann pretty. He gave her a rose. But Foster wasn’t a boy from school. Cyndi had already warned him to stay away. But the danger went beyond one man. Around Maryann was a circle of people she knew, people who would have opportunities to make a different choice.

When Maryann spoke up, they had something to lose.

She told the truth. They decided to silence her.
