Sword and Scale Episode 252
In July of 2010, 15-year-old Sidnee Stephens was a troubled teen with a history of mental illness and running away from home so, no one in her immediate circle was too worried when she went missing yet again. Then, her dead body was found in the town creek. The investigation into Sidnee's murder would be long and strenuous, but most of all, it would prove just how unbelievably cruel and shortsighted teenagers can be.
The heart-wrenching narrative centers on the mysterious vanishing and subsequent homicide of 15-year-old Sydney Stevens. The plot thickens as interviews with her bereaved mother, Tracy Stevens, and her older half-sister, Dakota, shed light on the intricate web of Sydney's mental health battles and the strained dynamics that permeated their tight-knit community. As law enforcement delves further into the grim circumstances surrounding Sydney's demise, they work closely with her family members, meticulously reconstructing the sequence of events that culminated in the devastating loss of the young girl's life. Through this process, the officers uncover a tapestry of interpersonal connections and secrets that may hold the key to understanding the tragic fate that befell Sydney Stevens.

Throughout the day of October 17th, none of 27-year-old Sasha Samsudean's friends couldn't reach her. Obviously concerned, they phoned 911. When police arrived at Sasha’s apartment, there was no answer to their knocks. Eventually they were able to get inside and found the young woman’s lifeless body, battered and wrapped in a comforter. Bleach had been poured on certain areas of her body and it had been determined through an autopsy that Sasha had been strangled to death.

In this special early-release two-part PLUS Episode, we go back to further examine the strange case of the death of Natalie Bollinger (first covered in S&S Episodes 109 & 110). The bizarre events surrounding this case are just as curious and interesting as the social media madness that followed, with amateur WebSleuths taking to the internet in droves to try and solve a case with little to no information. At the center of it all was a disheveled homeless man by the name of Shawn Shwartz, who Natalie Bollinger had sought a protection order against and who posted dozens of angry rambling videos talking about his uncontrollable panic attacks. After a year of silence, Shawn has reemerged, multiple videos a day attacking the victim, the victim's friends and family, anyone who has ever assisted him, along with the host of this show.

Anchorage, Alaska can be a cold and dark city. In the summer of 2016, it was clear this coming winter would be one of the coldest and darkest winters yet. By June there were 11 murders, putting them on track for one of the deadliest years in decades. In the month of July, 9 more people died and by August the community was worried that a serial killer had made the scenic bike paths and parks their personal hunting ground at night. Dead bodies were piling up but local James Dale Ritchie wasn’t afraid. He was used to the cold and no stranger to the darkness either but even he would find this winter to be particularly dreary.

Sarah Stern had a secret. A secret that's almost impossible to keep anything secret for long.
Though it wasn’t anything particularly gruesome or embarrassing, it was something you wouldn’t necessarily go around sharing. At the tender young age of 19, Sarah had incidentally become well off for a 19 year old, after the untimely death of her mother, receiving a generous inheritance.
