Ashley and Ricky, the husband-and-wife duo behind Crime Salad, serve up a healthy portion of true crime every week. With captivating storytelling and unique perspectives, they dive deep into cases, unraveling twists and exposing the darker side of humanity. Their mission is simple: to tell the stories that need to be heard, the ones that linger long after the episode ends.

Crime Salad

In the summer of 1983, 27-year-old Teresa “Terry” Peroni disappeared from a remote counterculture community in rural Oregon. For years, rumors circulated about communes, drugs, and the controlling man she had last been seen with. Her family searched, asked questions, and followed every lead, but Terry’s trail went cold. Her name slowly faded from public memory.

In 1997, human remains were discovered in the Oregon wilderness, but they were never linked to Terry. It wasn’t until 2024, more than four decades after she vanished, that new forensic technology finally confirmed the truth. Her remains were identified. The case was reopened. And the man long suspected in her disappearance was arrested across state lines.

This episode follows Terry’s journey for independence, the dangerous world she stepped into, the failures that allowed her case to go cold, and the small group of people who refused to let her story be forgotten.

Teresa “Terry” Peroni: Missing 1983. Found 1997. Identified 2024.

In January 2011, 27-year-old teacher Ellen Greenberg was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment, Unit 603 at the Venice Lofts. The swing-bar lock was secured from the inside, yet Ellen had been stabbed twenty times, including deep wounds to the back of her neck. Her fiancé discovered her body and called 911, but within days investigators changed the medical examiner’s original homicide ruling to suicide. More than a decade later, experts, forensic pathologists, and Ellen’s parents are still fighting to answer the question that has haunted Philadelphia ever since: How could a locked-room suicide look so much like murder?

Missing: Oakley Carlson - Denial, Neglect, and the Fight for Justice

In August of 1996, 11-year-old Trudy Appleby vanished from her neighborhood in Moline, Illinois, leaving behind one of the most haunting mysteries in the Quad Cities. There was no sign of a struggle, no clear witnesses, and no immediate answers. For nearly three decades, her case remained unsolved.

But behind the headlines, Trudy’s father never stopped fighting. From the very beginning, he insisted he knew who was responsible. While police chased false leads and dead ends, he pointed to the same small circle of men—names he repeated year after year, long before investigators finally confirmed them as persons of interest.

In August 2025, almost exactly 29 years after Trudy disappeared, an arrest was finally made. The breakthrough came too late for her father, who passed away without seeing justice—but it proved he had been right all along.

This is the story of Trudy Appleby: a child gone without a trace, a family’s relentless search for truth, and the decades-long fight to hold those responsible accountable in the Quad Cities’ most infamous missing child case.

Please contact the Moline Police Department (Illinois) - Missing Persons Unit - 1-309-797-0407 OR your local FBI if you have any information.
