Join us for the final episode of our exploration into the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, our theories, and where things are now regarding the Boulder, Colorado, case.

Join us tonight for our first episode, where The Arkins Hearth examines the 1996 murder of six-year-old JonBenét Ramsey in Boulder, Colorado. It explores the ransom note, the 911 call, the discovery of her body, crime-scene management, DNA evidence, the grand jury proceedings, and the competing intruder and family-involvement theories. The episode also examines media speculation and the challenges of modern forensic investigation, while emphasizing the distinction between established facts, allegations, and unproven theories. At its heart, the episode remembers JonBenét as a child whose life was taken and whose murder remains unsolved.

Tonight on Arkin’s Hearth, we enter the legend of the Black-Eyed Children, strange children with impossible eyes, terrifying requests, and one chilling rule: they need your permission to come inside. From the 1990s origins of the legend to reported encounters across the Four Corners, we explore the witnesses, folklore, investigations, hoaxes, and enduring question: what are the Black-Eyed Children?

A quiet Mennonite community in Farmington, New Mexico, is shattered when 27-year-old Sasha Krause disappears while making a simple trip to her church to collect books for Sunday school. More than a month later, her body is discovered in a forest outside Flagstaff, Arizona—and an investigation spanning two states begins to unravel a disturbing trail of cell-phone evidence, conflicting stories, firearms, surveillance, and deep resentment toward the Mennonite faith. Join tonight's host, The Ginger, with her co-hosts, The Pixie, Thorin Wolf, and Michael Jason Chandler, around the Arkin's Hearth as we explore the disappearance and murder of Sasha Krause, the investigation into Mark Gooch, and the evidence that ultimately led to a conviction. But this isn't just a story about a killer. It's about Sasha Krause, a daughter, sister, teacher, writer, and woman of faith whose life was taken far too soon.

This is The Arkin's Hearth, a Not Dead Yet production.
