Eureka, Utah: In the shadow of abandoned silver mines, two teenagers vanish after a winter drive through a quiet ghost town. Seventeen-year-old Brelynne “Breezy” Otteson and her boyfriend Riley Powell told family they were heading back to town that night but they never arrive. As hours turn into days, worry spreads quickly through the tight-knit community.
Their Jeep is eventually discovered abandoned on a remote road outside Eureka, raising more questions than answers. Friends, family, and volunteers launch a massive search across the rugged hills surrounding the old mining town — a landscape filled with deep shafts, hidden tunnels, and dangerous terrain where anything could disappear without a trace.
In this episode of Crime Exposé with Nancy O’Dell, investigators and community members race to uncover what happened during Breezy and Riley’s final known hours. As rumors swirl and new details begin to surface, the mystery deepens... leaving one haunting question: what really happened that night outside Eureka?

The Broken Doorframe: Melissa Mooney
March 9
•19m
Castle Hayne, North Carolina: In a quiet suburb outside Wilmington, a young mother starting over is found murdered inside her new home. The front door has been kicked in. A phone ripped from the wall. Signs of a violent struggle scattered through the living room. Melissa Mooney had just moved in the night before — a fresh start after a difficult divorce — but by morning, her colleagues at the FBI field office knew something was terribly wrong.
As investigators begin piecing together her final hours, unsettling details emerge. A carefully staged crime scene. Evidence of an intruder who appeared methodical and disturbingly calm. Suspicion first falls on someone close to her, but as leads unravel, authorities begin to wonder whether this was part of something far bigger and far more dangerous.
In this episode of Crime Exposé with Nancy O’Dell, we follow the relentless pursuit of a predator who may have left a trail of fear far beyond one neighborhood. With time passing and the stakes rising, investigators face a chilling question: can they stop a killer before they strike again?

March 16
•19m
Palo, Iowa: In a quiet farming community outside Cedar Rapids, a beloved nurse and mother is found dead inside her own home. Fifty-eight-year-old Jodie Bevans had stayed behind while the rest of her family went on a last-minute camping trip. When she fails to show up for work the next morning and never arrives at the campground, worried relatives return to the farmhouse — only to discover a scene that immediately raises alarm.
As investigators begin piecing together Jodie’s final hours, troubling details emerge. The crime scene appears carefully staged, with items placed in ways that don’t quite add up. With few signs of forced entry and little physical evidence to guide them, detectives are left to examine the people closest to Jodie and the tensions that may have been building inside the family.
In this episode of Crime Exposé with Nancy O’Dell, we follow a chilling investigation that leads detectives down an unexpected digital trail — uncovering shocking evidence and a story of betrayal that leaves a small Iowa community searching for answers.
