Clues with Morgan Absher and Kaelyn Moore

On a Saturday morning in May of 1990, Marlene Warren's doorbell rang in Wellington, Florida. On the step was a clown with face paint, an orange wig, a red nose, holding two balloons and a bouquet of flowers. Marlene took them, then the clown raised a gun. Because the costume wasn't a party favor, it was a disguise, and it worked for twenty-seven years. This episode Kaelyn and Sabrina follow the clues: a white Chrysler LeBaron, a used-car dealer husband with an alibi and the employee who repossessed cars for him, and who would eventually become his wife. By the end, the thing that finally moved the case had been sitting in an evidence box since 1991.Head over to our Clues YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/@CluesPodIf you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Clues to never miss a case!

She left her purse in a friend's car and walked out just after three in the morning with a man she'd met that night. No one reported her missing for eight days. No one found her for almost three years. Because the man police say she left with had spent twelve years as a West Virginia police officer under another name. This episode Sabrina and Kaelyn follow the clues: a purse no one ever came back for. A car an entire county was asked to search for. And remains that took genetic testing to name. By the end, there's an indictment, a not-guilty plea, and no trial date.Head over to our Clues YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/@CluesPodIf you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Clues to never miss a case!

In September 2012, 19-year-old Faith Hedgepeth was found beaten to death in her off-campus apartment outside Chapel Hill, NC, hours after a night out with her roommate. Beside her body was a fast-food bag with a message scrawled across it: "I'm not stupid b****, jealous." Over the next nine years, police DNA-tested hundreds of people and cleared every one. Now, Morgan and Kaelyn follow the clues in one of North Carolina's longest-running investigations.Head over to our Clues YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: https://www.youtube.com/@CluesPodIf you’re new here, don’t forget to follow Clues to never miss a case!

In October 1999, retired Austin TV executive Steven Beard woke in his home to a shotgun wound in his stomach. When police traced the bullet, it led somewhere nobody expected: a local bookstore manager with no connection to Steven at all, but a very close one to his wife, Celeste. Morgan and Kaelyn follow the clues in one of Texas's most jaw-dropping murder cases: a bond forged in a psychiatric treatment facility, a $12 million fortune bled dry by compulsive spending, and twin daughters who took the stand against their own mother. By the end, one woman would confess to pulling the trigger, and the other would be convicted of putting the gun in her hand.
