On the night of September 29, 1996, 15-year-old Melanie Ethier did what thousands of teenagers had done before her—she walked home after spending the evening with friends. She was dropped off just a short distance from her house in New Liskeard, Ontario. She never arrived.

How does someone disappear so close to home without a scream, a struggle, or a single confirmed witness?

While the true crime world has been fixated on the Lindsay Clancy case, another story was quietly unfolding — one that had begun seven years earlier with the disappearance of a young woman named Morgan. In 2016, Morgan disappeared. There were stories. There were suspicions. There were people who knew more than they were saying. But for seven years, there was no Morgan. Then investigators went back. What followed was a renewed investigation, an FBI ground search, evidence that finally began filling in the missing pieces — and a case that had waited years for answers. In this episode of A Million Other Choices, we follow Morgan’s story from the day she disappeared through the original investigation, the people surrounding her, the evidence that emerged years later, and the case that finally revealed what happened to her. Because while almost everyone was watching another case, Morgan’s story was finally being told.

After some murders, killers do something unexpected.

They cover the body.

They clean the victim.

They pose the scene.

They call 911.

Sometimes they even express grief or remorse immediately afterward.

In forensic psychology, this behavior is often referred to as “undoing” — a disturbing phenomenon where offenders attempt, psychologically or symbolically, to reverse, soften, deny, or emotionally distance themselves from the violence they’ve committed.

In this episode, we’re diving into the psychology behind undoing after murder: what it means, why it happens, what crime scene behavior can reveal about emotion and intent, and why investigators pay close attention to what offenders do after the violence ends.

We’ll talk about guilt, shame, dissociation, emotional attachment, staging, remorse, domestic homicide dynamics, and the uncomfortable reality that some offenders still feel emotionally connected to their victims even after killing them.

Because murder is not always emotionally cold.

Sometimes the aftermath tells investigators far more than the crime itself.

Twenty-five-year-old Megan Bodiford was afraid of Jarrett Davis — and she wasn't keeping that fear to herself.

In the weeks before her death, friends reportedly raised concerns about his violence. Days before Megan disappeared, warnings were made to his probation officer. And in one of her final messages, Megan told a friend that Jarrett had a gun and was going to kill her.

Then, on April 25, 2024, Megan disappeared.

Today’s case is one that’s often told for its brutality…

But underneath that, there’s something else.

Something quieter…

And honestly, more unsettling.

Because this isn’t just a story about what happened.

It’s a story about entitlement…

About failure to launch…

And what can happen when someone builds a life entirely disconnected from reality… and then reality shows up anyway.

Today we’re talking about a case that, at first glance, almost feels surreal — like something pulled straight from a script. But this story isn’t fiction. And at the center of it are two young people who should still be here.

In 2010, in a quiet community in Costa Mesa, 26-year-old Samuel Herr and 23-year-old Julie Kibuishi became victims of a calculated and deeply disturbing crime committed by someone they trusted — aspiring actor Daniel Wozniak.

This is not just a story about violence. It’s a story about manipulation, entitlement… and the chilling reality of how far someone was willing to go for money and control.

We’ll start with Sam — a veteran, a friend, someone rebuilding his life after service.

Then Julie — kind, intelligent, and completely uninvolved in what was about to unfold.

And from there… we walk through the timeline.

The lies.

The staged narrative.

And the investigation that slowly unraveled a performance that was never meant to hold up under scrutiny.

Because what makes this case so unsettling isn’t just what happened…

It’s how deliberate it all was.

And how, in the end, the truth came out anyway.

Blood spatter analysis has become one of the most recognizable forms of forensic science in modern true crime.

But how accurate is it really?

In this episode, we’re diving into the science — and controversy — behind blood spatter analysis. We’ll talk about how investigators interpret blood patterns, what different types of stains can potentially reveal, how analysts attempt to reconstruct violent events, and why blood evidence has played a major role in countless murder investigations.

But we’re also going to discuss the growing criticism surrounding blood spatter analysis, including questions about subjectivity, human interpretation, courtroom reliability, and wrongful convictions tied to flawed forensic conclusions.

Because despite what television has taught us… forensic science is rarely as simple or as certain as it looks.

We’ll break down passive stains, cast-off patterns, arterial spray, impact spatter, crime scene reconstruction, expert testimony, and the difficult reality of trying to interpret violence after the fact.

And honestly? Sometimes the evidence tells a very clear story.

And sometimes… people see what they expect to see.

Today we’re heading to Prince Edward Island — a place known for quiet roads, close communities… and, in this case, a story that unfolded behind the kind of normal life no one questions until it’s too late.

This is the story of Shirley Duguay.

She was 32 years old. A mother of five. And at the time of her disappearance in October 1994, she was trying to do something incredibly difficult — start over.

When her car was found abandoned on a rural road… with blood inside… it became clear very quickly that this wasn’t a simple missing person case.

What followed was months of searching, a devastating discovery, and an investigation that would quietly build into one of the most unusual forensic cases in Canadian history.

But this story isn’t about science.

It’s about a woman who was trying to move forward… and the reality that leaving a relationship is often the most dangerous time.

In this episode, we walk through Shirley’s life, her disappearance, the investigation, and the trial that followed — while keeping the focus where it belongs.

On her.

This is a case about grief…

but also about certainty — the kind that can be incredibly dangerous when it’s wrong.

Angela Cannings was a mother who experienced the unthinkable — the loss of not one, but multiple children in infancy.

And instead of compassion…

those losses became suspicion.

In the early 2000s, Angela was convicted of murdering two of her baby sons. The prosecution leaned heavily on expert testimony — statistics, probabilities, and the now-infamous idea that multiple unexplained infant deaths in one family were simply too unlikely to be natural.

But what happens when science isn’t as certain as it sounds?

What happens when experts are wrong?

And what happens when a grieving mother is turned into a suspect… not because of evidence, but because of what shouldn’t happen?

In this episode, we walk through Angela’s story — her life, her losses, the investigation, and the trial that would ultimately be overturned.

We’ll also talk about the broader impact of her case, alongside others like Sally Clark, and how flawed expert testimony changed the course of multiple lives… and forced a reckoning within the justice system.

Because sometimes the most dangerous evidence…

is the kind that sounds the most convincing.
