In November 2024, 15-year-old Tripp Brazeale was found hanging from a tree in the middle of the woods of Forrest City, Arkansas. His death was quickly ruled a suicide, but in the weeks and months that followed, details of the case began to emerge that led Tripp's family, friends, and a private investigator to realize things might not be as clear-cut as they were led to believe.
If you or anyone you know is thinking about suicide, please be aware that emotional support can be reached by calling or texting the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.

A call from someone you love in crisis is terrifying enough - but what if the voice begging for help isn’t really them? We break down how AI voice cloning is fueling virtual kidnapping scams, why panic is the weapon scammers count on, and the one conversation your family should have before the phone rings.
- If this happens to you, report it right away: if money changed hands, contact your local FBI field office or call 1-800-CALL-FBI; even if you didn’t lose money, file a report at IC3.gov

MURDERED: Alberta O. Jones
June 15
•56m
Alberta O. Jones was breaking barriers in Louisville, Kentucky. She was the first Black woman prosecutor in the city’s history, she helped register some 6,000 Black citizens to vote, and she was a leader in the city’s civil rights movement. But on Aug. 5, 1965 – before she could make even more changes in the highly segregated city – Alberta was found dead floating in the Ohio River. The night before, she reluctantly went out late to visit a close friend, setting off a 60-year mystery that has led to more questions than answers.
Was Alberta killed in a random robbery? Was she set up by her best friend? Or was she targeted for her dangerous civil rights work?
- If you have any information about the death of Alberta O. Jones, you can contact the Louisville Metro Police Department’s Cold Case Squad at 502-574-7055, or you can email us directly at tips@audiochuck.com.
