DEEP DIVE: The Unsolved Murder of Joy Hayward PART ONE

DEEP DIVE: The Unsolved Murder of Joy Hayward PART ONE

In this episode of Stop! Who Does That?, Jackie and Jenna examine the unsolved murder of Joy Hayward, a 28-year-old woman whose life was brutally cut short after checking into a Chester, Pennsylvania hotel in February 2004. What began as a visit to see her boyfriend turned into a nightmare when Joy left after an argument and checked into the Days Inn alone in the early morning hours. Just hours later, she was found murdered in her hotel room. Investigators uncovered disturbing evidence at the scene, including DNA from an unknown male — DNA that has never been matched to a suspect. As the case unfolded, police began to suspect the same man may have gone on to attack another woman just months later. Yet more than 20 years later, Joy’s killer remains unidentified, and her family is still fighting for answers. Jackie and Jenna walk through Joy’s final known movements, the haunting clues left behind, the troubling investigative roadblocks, and the ongoing push by Joy’s family to have forensic genetic genealogy used to finally identify the man responsible. Joy’s case is still unsolved — but her family refuses to let her be forgotten.

DEEP DIVE: West Coast Video Murders - Bucks County, PA

In this episode of Stop! Who Does That?, Jackie and Jenna cover the haunting unsolved case of the West Coast Video Store Murders in Warminster, Pennsylvania. On November 10, 1993, 20-year-old friends and coworkers Bryan Benson and Seann Campbell were working the closing shift at a West Coast Video in the Rosemore Shopping Center. By the next morning, both young men were found brutally murdered inside a back room of the store. With no signs of forced entry, cash left behind, untouched wallets, and DNA evidence recovered from the scene, investigators were left with more questions than answers. More than 30 years later, no arrests have been made, no suspect has been publicly named, and the case remains one of Bucks County’s most chilling cold cases. Jackie and Jenna walk through the timeline of that night, the strange details that make robbery feel unlikely, the evidence investigators recovered, and whether modern forensic genealogy could one day help solve the murders of Bryan and Seann. This episode honors two young men whose lives were stolen far too soon, while asking the question that still hangs over Warminster decades later: Who walked into that video store after hours — and why has no one been held accountable   #truecrime #buckscounty #westcoastvideo #bryanbenson #seanncampbell

DEEP DIVE: Jennifer Brown

this episode of Stop! Who Does That?, Jackie and Jenna break down the heartbreaking and shocking case of Jennifer Brown, a 43-year-old Pennsylvania mother who vanished without a trace—only for the truth to reveal a betrayal no one saw coming. Jennifer Brown was a devoted mom, a successful professional, and an aspiring restaurant owner working toward opening her dream business, “Birdie’s Kitchen,” with her trusted partner, Blair Watts. But when she suddenly disappeared in January 2023, leaving behind her phone, keys, and car, investigators quickly realized—this wasn’t a voluntary disappearance. As the search intensified, suspicion began to fall on the people closest to her. A jealous neighbor. A complicated personal life. And a business partner who seemed eager to help… maybe a little too eager. What investigators uncovered was a disturbing web of deception involving stolen money, hidden motives, and digital evidence that would ultimately lead them to a shallow grave—shockingly close to home. Jackie and Jenna walk through the timeline of Jennifer’s disappearance, the red flags that were missed, and the chilling evidence that connected Blair Watts to the crime. From financial manipulation to the eerie role he played in the search for Jennifer, this case raises one haunting question: How do you spot a killer when they’re standing right beside you?   References: https://6abc.com/post/blair-watts-trial-jennifer-brown-murder/14171164/ [https://6abc.com/post/blair-watts-trial-jennifer-brown-murder/14171164/]   https://nationaltoday.com/us/pa/royersford/news/2026/04/06/pennsylvania-mother-jennifer-brown-murdered-by-business-partner/ [https://nationaltoday.com/us/pa/royersford/news/2026/04/06/pennsylvania-mother-jennifer-brown-murdered-by-business-partner/]   https://people.com/single-mom-jennifer-brown-disappears-body-found-shallow-grave-11934601 [https://people.com/single-mom-jennifer-brown-disappears-body-found-shallow-grave-11934601]   https://www.phillyvoice.com/jennifer-brown-murder-blair-watts-guilty-sentence-montgomery-county/ [https://www.phillyvoice.com/jennifer-brown-murder-blair-watts-guilty-sentence-montgomery-county/]
