On a quiet Sunday morning in March 2012, a jogger on Utah’s Jordan River Trail made a gruesome discovery: pools of blood on a pedestrian bridge and a single red sneaker discarded near the water. Hours later, the lifeless body of 15-year-old Annie Kasprzak was pulled from the river.

Just the night before, Annie had vanished from her home, leaving behind a runaway note and a shocking confession. As investigators frantically pieced together her final hours, they were dragged into a chaotic web of deception. From rumors of a teenage pregnancy to a phantom gang member named "LJ," and a revenge-seeking witness who derailed the case for an entire year—nothing in this investigation was what it seemed.

When detectives finally traced the digital footprint of the blocked numbers calling Annie’s phone, the truth proved to be far more chilling than anyone could have imagined.

Join Richard and Ashley this week as they unravel the fabricated alibis, the stunning digital evidence, and the devastating reality behind the murder of Annie Kasprzak.

What happens when a highly trained, elite narcotics detective realizes the bad guys are having way more fun than the cops? He starts a multi-million-dollar cartel, of course.

This week on Crime Salad, Ashley and Ricky are diving headfirst into an 80s action movie. Andrew Thornton II wasn’t just a cop, he was a wealthy Kentucky blue-blood, a paratrooper, and a licensed lawyer who threw it all away to become the mastermind of a massive international drug pipeline known as "The Company." But Thornton's massive ego and extreme paranoia eventually lead to a fateful, pitch-black flight over the Georgia woods.

Join us as we untangle a tri-state crime scene featuring 75 pounds of pure Colombian cocaine falling from the sky, a deadly cartel revenge plot, a dead man wearing night-vision goggles and Gucci loafers, and the ultimate winner of the story... a 175-pound black bear who went on to inspire a Hollywood movie.

Today, we have something a little different for you: it’s the first episode of The Snare, from ABC News and 20/20.

The Snare examines the gruesome murder of 18-year-old Angie Dodge, who was killed in her apartment in Idaho Falls in 1996. As investigators hunted for her killer, DNA recovered from the crime scene pointed to an unidentified suspect. Despite the evidence, police built their case against another man, Chris Tapp, securing a conviction that later unraveled while the real killer remained at large. As the years passed, Angie’s mother Carol never gave up on a decades-long mission to uncover the truth. It took twenty long years, but finally, through Carol’s persistence and some incredible new DNA matching technology, Angie’s real killer was put behind bars. The Snare tells the whole story, including audio from Chris Tapp’s interrogation and so much more. 

Here’s the first episode, and you can keep listening by following The Snare on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

How far would you go to escape the consequences of your own greed?

What happens when a high-flying millionaire's house of cards finally begins to collapse? He vanishes into thin air.

Marcus Schrenker had it all: private planes, luxury sports cars, and a massive French chateau. As a trusted financial advisor, he carved out a highly exclusive niche catering to the "cream of the crop," managing the retirement portfolios of commercial Delta Air Lines pilots. But behind the facade of luxury, Schrenker was secretly draining their life savings through deceptive financial schemes and a completely fabricated foreign currency fund. Check out this action-packed episode hosted by Ashley and Ricky of Crime Salad.
