28: EPISODE 28 // Jennifer Pan
In this episode told by Amanda, listeners will hear the chilling 911 call made by 24 year old Jennifer Pan moments after a deadly home invasion inside her family’s Markham, Ontario home. As Jennifer speaks to the dispatcher, her father’s desperate screams for help can be heard in the background as he escapes the house, while Jennifer’s mother lies unresponsive in the basement, both having been shot multiple times.
We explore the story behind this horrifying 2010 attack that left Bich Pan dead and her husband, Hann, critically injured. At first, police believed Jennifer was the lone surviving victim of a random break in. But as detectives began to unravel inconsistencies in her story, their focus shifted from a robbery gone wrong to something much darker.
Through the investigation, we examine the complex dynamics within the Pan household and how a web of lies, control, and deceit spiraled into an intricate, premeditated murder-for-hire plot.
This case, later revisited in Netflix’s 2024 documentary What Jennifer Did, raises disturbing questions about family pressure, a hidden double life, and the breaking point that turned a daughter against her own parents.

27: EPISODE 27 // Theresa Knorr
In our longest single-part episode yet, Kristen will be telling Amanda the story of Theresa Knorr from Sacramento, California. This case truly embodies the chilling nature of our podcast name, Momicide, wherein a mother's actions go far beyond neglect or cruelty, descending into unimaginable brutality and the eventual murders of her two daughters, Suesan and Sheila. The psychological control, abuse, manipulation and dominance that Theresa's children endured will equally shock, sadden, and infuriate you. Theresa’s sons even became unwilling enforcers of her sadistic punishments, helping to facilitate the very torture and murders of their own sisters.
This isn’t just a story of maternal abuse—it’s a case study into psychological manipulation and the ripple effects of what happens when systems designed to protect children are the very thing that failed them.
Thank you as always for your support, it means the world to us. Enjoy the episode!

29: EPISODE 29 // Roman Heinze: The Salt Creek Monster
Published 18 Jul 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Most of the people who did ride shares on Gumtree were also young backpackers, but the way Roman had described himself on his ad, along with the picture he had posted, the girls expected they were meeting somebody who was around 30 years old. Roman was 59. This, along with his pushy messages, gave them the feeling that something seemed off. Looking back, they say they're not sure if they would have gone with him if either of them were alone, but the fact that they had each other made them feel safer. They hopped in the car with him and went on their way. So they did have this initial gut feeling that something felt off multiple times before they actually stepped foot into that car. […]
