  • The Psychic Who Found Melanie Uribe: Etta Smith's Vision
    May 14 2026
    Melanie Uribe was just trying to get to work. On December 15th, 1980, the 31-year-old nurse and single mother vanished on her way to a night shift in California. Hours later, her burned truck was discovered abandoned on a dead-end road. Witnesses reported hearing screams and seeing men force their way into her vehicle at a stoplight before driving away. Then the case took a turn nobody could explain. A woman named Etta Smith walked into a police station claiming she had experienced a vivid vision showing where Melanie’s body could be found. She described a remote canyon police had not searched, then personally led investigators straight to Melanie’s remains. Instead of being praised for helping, Etta became the prime suspect. In this episode of Serial Napper, we dive into one of the strangest murder investigations in California history. Was Etta Smith psychic? Was it intuition, coincidence, or something else entirely? And why did police become so convinced that the woman who found Melanie’s body had to somehow be involved in her murder? This is the story of Melanie Uribe, Etta Smith, and the case that still leaves people debating the impossible decades later.

  • The Men at the Door: The Disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri
    May 8 2026
    37-year-old Elnaz Hajtamiri knew she was in danger. Weeks before she vanished, she survived a violent attack in the underground parking garage of her Richmond Hill condo after two masked men allegedly tried to kidnap her. She was beaten with a frying pan so severely that she required roughly 40 stitches. Terrified, Elnaz left her home and went into hiding with her family in Wasaga Beach, Ontario. But on the night of January 12, 2022, three masked men posing as police officers arrived at the house with fake badges, fake police vests, and what appeared to be a warrant. Within moments, Elnaz was dragged barefoot through the snow and forced into a white Lexus SUV. She has never been seen again. In this episode of Serial Napper, we revisit the chilling disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri, including major new developments in the investigation and the recent guilty plea from her ex-boyfriend, Mohamad Lilo, who admitted to conspiracy to kidnap in exchange for murder charges being dropped. We examine the alleged stalking, tracking devices, organized criminal connections, private investigators, fake police uniforms, and the haunting reality that, despite years of arrests and court proceedings, Elnaz’s family still does not know where she is. If you have any information about the disappearance of Elnaz Hajtamiri, please contact the Ontario Provincial Police at 1-888-310-1122 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers. A $100,000 reward remains available for information leading to her location.

  • What Came Up Through the Pipes: The Killings of Rori Hache & Kandis Fitzpatrick
    May 6 2026
    An apartment building in Oshawa had a clogged drain. By the end of the day, police would uncover one of Canada’s most horrifying murder investigations. When plumbers pulled a strange pink, flesh-like substance from the pipes of a basement apartment in December 2017, they immediately called police. What officers found inside the apartment of Adam Strong would shock even seasoned investigators: human remains in a freezer, blood spatter on the walls and ceiling, and evidence linking Strong not just to 18-year-old Rori Hache, but also to Kandis Fitzpatrick, a young woman who had vanished nearly a decade earlier.
