Sasha Krause: A Journey Through Faith, Hate, and Murder
Esplicito
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.

Tacet's return: The other Devils Highway
Esplicito
Journey into the haunted heart of the American Southwest, where ancient deserts, abandoned hotels, forgotten highways, and whispered legends blur the line between history and the supernatural. From the chilling case that inspired The Entity to the haunted St. James Hotel, the devotion to Santa Muerte, and the deadly expanse of the Devil's Highway, we explore why this land has become synonymous with mystery, death, and the unexplained.

Aliens In Utah: The Utah Monolith
Esplicito
In this episode of The Arkins Hearth, the team explores one of the internet's most fascinating modern mysteries, the Utah Monolith. From its unexpected discovery by wildlife biologists in a remote desert canyon to the explosion of alien theories, internet sleuths, copycat monoliths, and its equally mysterious disappearance, the hosts separate fact from fiction with their signature blend of humor, skepticism, and storytelling. Was it evidence of extraterrestrials, an elaborate art installation, or simply a reminder that mystery still has a place in the modern world? Join the crew as they uncover the truth behind the shiny object that captivated millions and discuss why sometimes the greatest mystery isn't the answer; it's our endless curiosity.

Skinwalker Ranch: Part Two
Esplicito
Skinwalker Ranch has become one of the internet's biggest paranormal phenomena, but how much is mystery, and how much is myth? In Part II of our Utah UFO series, the crew explores the ranch's rise through reality TV, conspiracy culture, government investigations, and viral internet lore. From UFOs and portals to infrasound, military secrets, and the psychology behind belief, they separate documented facts from modern folklore while asking why places like Skinwalker Ranch continue to capture our imagination. Is it evidence of the unexplained or a mirror reflecting humanity's fascination with the unknown? Tune in for laughs, skepticism, and a deep dive into one of America's strangest legends.
