Murdered: Missy Bevers

On April 18th, 2016, Missy Bevers walked into a church in Midlothian, Texas to teach an early morning fitness class. She never made it out. Before she arrived, someone was already inside the building. Moving through the halls. Opening doors. Breaking glass. Waiting in a space they believed was empty. Within minutes of her entry, Missy encountered that person. The attack was never fully captured. The timeline is fragmented. And the most critical moment in the case—the encounter itself—was never clearly seen. What followed was a tightly compressed sequence of events that unfolded in under an hour. No theft. No clear motive. Just a suspect on surveillance footage… and a series of unanswered questions that still remain nearly a decade later. Was this a burglary gone wrong? Or was Missy Bevers the intended target from the beginning? This episode breaks down the full timeline, the behavioral patterns of the suspect, and the theory that this wasn’t a random act—but a planned attack made to look like something else.

Missing: Jennifer Kesse

A woman leaves for work. And disappears… in the most ordinary moment of her day. On January 24th, 2006, 24-year-old Jennifer Kesse vanished from her condo complex in Orlando, Florida. There were no signs of forced entry. No obvious struggle inside her home. Everything pointed to a normal morning — until it wasn’t. Hours later, her car was found just over a mile away. A man was seen on surveillance leaving it behind. He should have been identified immediately. Instead, every single frame captured him at the exact moment his face was hidden. No name. No answers. No explanation. In this episode, we break down the full timeline, the missing hours, the physical evidence, and the behavioral patterns behind one of the most frustrating unsolved disappearances in modern true crime. Because this isn’t just a case about who took Jennifer Kesse. It’s about how someone could vanish in a matter of minutes… and leave behind a case that still feels like it’s missing the one moment that matters most. 🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music. 🔗 Full episode, socials, and everything in one place: https://linktr.ee/TheGrimesFiles 💰 Support the investigation: https://cash.app/$TheGrimesFiles Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands [https://redcircle.com/brands] Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy [https://redcircle.com/privacy]

Missing: The Springfield Three

Three women vanished from a home in the early hours of the morning. No signs of forced entry. No clear struggle. No confirmed sighting of what actually happened inside that house. At first glance, it looks like nothing happened at all. But when you strip the case down to what actually holds up—the timeline, the scene, the behavior—a very different picture begins to emerge. This wasn’t random. It wasn’t chaotic. And it wasn’t a mystery without structure. It was controlled. In this episode of The Grimes Files, we break down the Springfield Three case from the ground up—separating what’s stable from what’s noise, and focusing only on what can actually be trusted. No speculation. No recycled theories. Just the mechanics of what had to happen—and what that means. Because when you remove everything that doesn’t hold… what’s left is a case that makes far more sense than people realize. And that may be the most unsettling part. 🔗 All links / socials: https://linktr.ee/TheGrimesFiles 💰 Support the show / donations: https://cash.app/$TheGrimesFiles Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands [https://redcircle.com/brands] Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy [https://redcircle.com/privacy]

Missing: Brian Shaffer

On March 31, 2006, Brian Shaffer went out with friends in Columbus, Ohio. It was a normal night. Bar hopping, drinks, a crowded city full of people. At 1:55 a.m., Brian is seen on surveillance footage entering the Ugly Tuna Saloona. He never comes back out. There is no footage of him leaving. No confirmed sightings after that moment. No activity on his phone or bank accounts. Inside the bar, there were no cameras tracking his movements. Witnesses say he was calm, talking with two women near closing time. At one point, he tells them he is heading back toward the stage area. Deeper into the bar, not leaving. That is the last confirmed moment anyone sees him. His friends leave later that night without him, believing he had already gone. But there is no clear moment where they separate. No goodbye. No explanation. Just absence. Investigators reviewed everything. Every camera angle. Every possible exit. Every route through the building. Nothing. Nearly two decades later, Brian Shaffer is still missing. Because this is not just a disappearance. It is a moment that should exist, but does not. 🔗 Full episode and socials https://linktr.ee/TheGrimesFiles If you would like to support these investigations https://cash.app/$TheGrimesFiles Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands [https://redcircle.com/brands] Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy [https://redcircle.com/privacy]

Unmissed: Hedviga Golik

In May 2008, residents of an apartment building in Zagreb, Croatia forced open the door to a small attic apartment that had remained closed for decades. Inside, they found human remains. The woman who lived there had never left. Her name was Hedviga Golik, and investigators believed she had been dead for more than 30 years. For decades, neighbors assumed Hedviga had simply moved away. Some believed she had joined a religious group. Others thought she had left the city entirely. No one reported her missing, and because of local tenancy laws, no one felt comfortable entering the apartment. So the door stayed closed. Behind it, time simply stopped. In this episode of The Grimes Files, host Joey Grimes examines the real story behind one of the internet’s most widely misreported cases. Viral retellings often claim Hedviga Golik was found sitting in a chair in front of a television decades after her death. But the original Croatian reporting tells a very different story. Through archival reports and forensic explanations, this episode explores what investigators actually know about Hedviga Golik’s life, her disappearance, and the disturbing discovery that shocked Zagreb. Because Hedviga Golik didn’t disappear in a remote place. She died inside an apartment. In the middle of a city. Surrounded by neighbors. And for more than three decades… no one realized she was still there.
