A chance discovery during a "This Day in History" segment led Cyndi down a rabbit hole she couldn't ignore.
In this special Real Life Real Crime deep dive, Cyndi examines the disturbing case of Shawn Grate, an Ohio serial killer who blended into everyday life while targeting vulnerable women.
In Part 1:
• Shawn Grate's upbringing in Marion, Ohio
• Early warning signs of violence
• The murder of Louisiana native Dana Lowry
• Rebekah Leicy disappearance and death
• Candace Cunningham's tragic relationship with Grate
• Elizabeth Griffith's murder and concealment inside an abandoned house
• Stacy Stanley's final hours after a chance encounter at a gas station
• The disturbing pattern connecting Grate's victims
• How Grate hid in plain sight for years
This is the story of women who mattered, families searching for answers, and a predator who believed he would never be caught.
