At 3:00 a.m. on Route 66, a customer stopped for gas.
What he found inside would shock central Illinois.

A young attendant lay dead. A robbery had turned into murder. Before it was over, a father and son would be arrested, convicted, and sentenced to death.

The newest episode of American Dread is live now.

New episodes are on the way, and I'm always hunting for the next forgotten story.

The unsolved mysteries. The small-town murders. The cases buried by time and nearly lost to history.

If you know of a true crime case, disappearance, or strange event that deserves another look, send me a DM or email. Some of the darkest stories in America never made the headlines.
