About this episode

<p>Spencer Irwin was just 30 years old when he vanished one Sunday morning in July 2024. Days later, his body was found in a way that raised questions – naked, alone and quickly dismissed by authorities. But their assumptions about Spencer were wrong. As his mother began asking questions, the answers she received only raised more red flags: no autopsy, missing belongings and a timeline full of gaps no one seemed interested in filling. When toxicology results came back, they didn’t just complicate the story, they began to unravel it.</p> <p>Refusing to accept a conclusion that didn’t add up, Spencer’s mother launched her own investigation. What she uncovered was deeply unsettling. As new witnesses came forward and experts weighed in, one thing became clear — the case may have been written off too soon. The truth is buried somewhere, waiting to be uncovered.</p> <ul> <li>If you have any information regarding the mysterious death of Spencer Irwin, you can contact the Fresno Police Department directly at 559-621-7000 or anonymously through Valley Crime Stoppers by texting ‘VALLEY’ to 738477.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Head over to our Crime Junkie YouTube channel to WATCH this episode: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvurPm1zeU4" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvurPm1zeU4</a></p> <p>Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.
