    226. "Alexa, Call 911" - The Case of Doctor Christopher Osborn - Dublin, Ohio
    Jan 8 2026

    A doctor, a nurse, and a strained relationship.

    On July 18th of 2018 a 911 call came into the Dublin County Emergency Dispatch. On the line was a man in another county reporting that a deceased person had been found in an upscale home on Ennishannon Drive.

    When officers arrived, they found 50-year-old physician, Doctor Christopher Osborn dead from multiple gunshot wounds.

    The only other person in the house was his wife, 42-year-old Holli Osborn. Holli was clearly intoxicated and told officers she had fallen asleep and woke up to find her husband deceased.

  • Jordan DeMay's Story and the Dangers of Sextortion with Crime with Holly

    Jordan DeMay's Story and the Dangers of Sextortion with Crime with Holly
    Jan 1 2026

    In this episode of Crime with Holly, Holly speaks with Jenn Buta, mother of Jordan DeMay, a 17-year-old who tragically took his life on March 25, 2022, after being targeted in a financial sextortion scheme.


    This crime is rapidly growing, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children received over 26,000 reports in 2023, with most victims being teen boys between 14 and 17 years old. But girls are also targeted, and no child is immune.


    Jenn shares Jordan’s story to raise awareness, highlight the dangers, and encourage families to have open, honest conversations with their teens. You’ll also hear about the Jordan DeMay #IGotYou Foundation and how his legacy is helping others.

  • The Answering Machine Message: The Unsolved Murder of Jennifer Clemmings with A Simpler Time True Crime

    The Answering Machine Message: The Unsolved Murder of Jennifer Clemmings with A Simpler Time True Crime
    Dec 18 2025
    A beautiful and vivacious 32-year-old woman had hit a sweet-spot of success in her life. She was a high-ranking sales consultant for the beauty company Mary Kay and on pace to be one of the top ranks in the company. But one evening in 2003, all of her momentum would be halted when her life was snuffed out by a violent sexual predator. When she realized she was in danger, she heroically placed a covert phone call to a friend which was recorded on this friend’s answering machine. The recording is a chilling exchange between Jennifer and the person most likely responsible for taking her life just moments later. Her friend called for help immediately upon receiving the message, but it was too late. And to this day, nobody has been able to identify the evil voice in this message. Connections to nearby cases and forensic advances give her family hope that they too will get answers someday soon. And they are not giving up.**Quick Correction: In the episode, I discuss that Jennifer had hit the Mary Kay rank of earning the Pink Cadillac based on source material I had found. In talking with her niece, she let me know that while she was a highly ranked sales director and on her way to it, she hadn't quite reached that rank. This is relevant for accuracy (which I value) and for perspective on what inventory and sales she would have had to maintain for rank.

  • 224. “Clandestine Operation” The Case of the Skelton Brothers - Morenci, Michigan [Part 2 of 2]

    224. “Clandestine Operation” The Case of the Skelton Brothers - Morenci, Michigan [Part 2 of 2]
    Nov 20 2025

    A baseball, Mose Gingrich, and a pre-programmed cellphone.


    After the disappearances of nine-year-old Andrew, seven-year-old Alexander, and five-year-old Tanner Skelton, their father, 39-year-old John Skelton kept changing his story.


    After investigators proved that Joann Taylor didn’t exist, John kept changing his story, even from behind bars.


    Over a decade passed when the boys' mother, Tanya Zuvers, petitioned the court to have her sons declared legally dead. Days before John Skelton was to be released from prison, a shocking announcement was made.


    If you have any information about the disappearance or whereabouts of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton, you are urged to contact the Michigan State Police at 1-517-636-0689, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST, that’s 1-800-843-5678.

    223. “Clandestine Operation” The Case of the Skelton Brothers - Morenci, Michigan [Part 1]
    Nov 14 2025

    Three missing boys, a noose, and a woman named Joann Taylor.


    In the fall of 2010, 43-year-old Tanya Skelton and 39-year-old John Skelton were going through a bitter divorce.


    Caught in the middle were their three boys: nine-year-old Andrew, seven-year-old Alexander, and five-year-old Tanner Skelton.


    Over the Thanksgiving Holiday while the boys were with John Skelton, they mysteriously vanished. John claimed the boys were with a woman named Joann Taylor, but investigators could find no proof that Joann Taylor ever existed.


    If you have any information about the disappearance or whereabouts of Andrew, Alexander, and Tanner Skelton, you are urged to contact the Michigan State Police at 1-517-636-0689, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST, that’s 1-800-843-5678.
