After going back over the case, it never explicitly says whether or not Rachel's date was one of the two men in the car.

* The disturbing case of Rachel Timmerman and her infant daughter, Shannon Verhage. It began when a supposed family friend, Marvin Gabrion, beat and sexually assaulted her numerous times over the course of one night while she was out with him and some associates of his (who were kicked out of his car so her could kidnap and assault her over their protests). Afterwards, as the trial for his crimes was looming, Rachel was trying to get on with her life and had a date with an unknown man when she disappeared. Even though letters had been sent to her family stating she and the baby (who she took on the date with her, apparently at the man's request) were alright, her body was found in a lake a couple of weeks later. Although she had been [[CruelAndUnusualDeath bound in duct tape, handcuffed and weighted down with cinder blocks, the coroner determined that the poor girl had drowned.]] To make matters worse, Shannon was nowhere to be found and it came out that ''several'' people connected to Gabrion [[LeaveNoWitnesses had either gone missing or were dead, including the two associates who were with him the night he assaulted Rachel]], with one of them being discovered as having been killed in a similar fashion as Rachel. The second associate (who was also eventually determined to have been the man who picked Rachel and Shannon up when they disappeared) was never found. He was eventually tried and convicted for her murder and sentence to death,[[note]]Although the state of Michigan, where the crime took place, has no death penalty, the special circumstances enhanced it to a federal level, putting him on ''their'' death row[[/note]] but as of February 2020, no trace of Shannon has ever been found. And even if she is eventually discovered, according to Gabrion, it won't be alive since he admitted to killing her like he did her mother due to having "nowhere else to put [[ItIsDehumanizing it]]".

** Perhaps even more frightening is the fact that Rachel was likely not Gabrion's first victim. Police discovered that Gabrion had been using the name of a transient who vanished in 1995 as an alias. While his body has never been discovered (and Gabrion has only ever been indicted for the death of Rachel), they do believe he was responsible for the aforementioned murders and disappearances.

* The murder of Colleen Ritter's parents is horrific enough on its own (Colleen's boyfriend snapped after being dumped by her and went on a rampage, killing both her parents and stabbing her and her younger brother as well,) but the [[https://youtu.be/7JkUseBHyIg?si=-mfZ1OT-C3riseQ2&t=1881 cinematography of the recreation]] makes it even more unnerving. Everything is in shadow and bathed in an eerie blue light, the score is little more than a steady, almost heartbeat-like drum, even Stack's narration is given in almost a hushed, tense whisper.

* Allagash Abductions. Think alien abductions are just silly anal probings? ''Think again''. These [[HumanoidAbomination things]] took four men from a camping trip and proceeded to subject them to horrific experiments [[BlueAndOrangeMorality for reasons only they understand]]. The [[NightmareFace sketches]] certainly do not help. Oh, and wait until you hear some of the interviews with the abductees, during their hypnosis sessions…
