🚨New Episode Alert🚨Chronicle 102: “The Fake Interview” is out now.
In the summer of 2012, 24-year-old nursing student Megan Sharpton was standing at the edge of a bright future. Just months away from graduation, she was eager to step into the career that she had always wanted – one where she could care for others and put her compassion to work as a nurse. So, when the chance for a potential job interview came along, she leapt at the opportunity to jumpstart her career.
But instead of opening the door to the life she had worked so hard for, that so-called “opportunity” led her somewhere far darker. What awaited her was not a new beginning – it was a terrifying tragedy. Listen to this week’s episode to hear the full story.

🚨New Episode Alert🚨Chronicle 100: “Death by Hazing” is out now.
In the spring of 2017, Timothy Piazza was like many college sophomores — eager to find his place, to build lasting friendships, and to be part of something bigger than himself. At just 19 years old, he had his sights set on Beta Theta Pi, one of the most respected fraternities at Pennsylvania State University. To Tim, pledging meant brotherhood — an unbreakable, lifelong bond with men who would have his back. But what he couldn’t see was the danger lurking beneath the surface. Behind the promises of tradition and unity was a brutal culture of hazing, one that didn’t just test loyalty — it pushed young men to the edge of what their bodies and spirits could endure. For some, like Tim, the price would prove far too high. Listen to this week’s episode to hear the full story.

🚨New Episode Alert🚨Chronicle 98: “A Deadly Custody Exchange” is out now.
It was supposed to be routine — just another custody handoff between two parents in rural Madison County, Tennessee. Tyeasha Starks, a bright young student at Austin Peay State University, had done this before. She was there to pick up her 1-year-old son. But what happened next would shatter everything. A heated argument. A gunshot. And then, sheer chaos. In broad daylight, in front of her child’s grandparents’ home, Tyeasha was gunned down. The shooter? Known. The method? Recorded. The time? Documented to the second in a chilling audio file. And yet… there’s been no arrest. No trial. No justice. And, the perpetrator is not hiding. He’s simply living his life, in another state, untouched. Listen now to hear the full story.
