Many wonder what really happened

to Virginia Van Owen nine years ago.

In her haunting last text

to her husband, she

mentioned, "Was approached

by some weird group.

Definitely a 'culty' vibe.

I hope they didn't think I was too rude."

That was the last she was ever heard of.

This text is what led local authorities

to suspect occult groups in the area.

But after three years of

searching, the police gave up

and filed it as a cold case.

Thanks for watching Kat Crime,

where we explore tales of the occult.

If you have any information

about Virginia Van Owens

disappearance or if you know

of any occult related crimes you'd like us

to delve into on a future episode,

please email us at Crimes@KatCrime.com.

(Kat scoffs)

Thanks, dad.

"Video is garbage."

I wasn't even showing any cleavage.

Ugh.

(phone chimes)

Happy birthday to you

Come on.

Happy birthday to you

(party toy squeaking)

Blow out the candles.

Can you say something to your mom?

I'm not gonna talk to

a photo of my dead mom.

It's weird.

- Perfect,

because you're weird.

Come on, for me.

Just I tell her how you're doing.

Fine, I'll start.

Virginia, I love you.

I think about you every

day, but I don't miss you

because you're here with us always.

And I know you're so

proud of your daughter.

Happy birthday, sweetheart.

Your turn.

(gentle music)

Hi, mom. Love you.

Happy birthday.

That's it.

Direct, I like it.

So, I saw your new episode.

Um, thank you.

Yeah, I saw that you made a comment.

And I liked it too.

You enjoyed it?

I mean, I liked it.

I hit the like button and I subscribed.

Took me a while 'cause it

made me set up an account.

But you didn't actually enjoy it.

Melanie, stop.

That's not what I'm saying at all.

Is it really that hard for

you to call me Katrina or Kat?

It's what I'm going by now.

I named you Melanie.

Yeah, mom wanted to name me Katrina.

I was a little surprised

that you did an episode about your mom.

Why?

No, I mean, it's great that you did it.

I just, I didn't want

you to get your hopes up.

What do you mean?

Well, it's been a long

time and I doubt that

What? Spit it out.

I wanna find out what happened

to your mom just as much as you.

I do.

But it's been nine years and I just,

I don't think that we're ever gonna know.

That's not what I'm doing this for,

just wanna help others,

and did an episode to honor mom,

I thought that you would appreciate it.

I do appreciate it.

I'm glad you did it.

I love that you did it.

Dad, I've gotten a lot of therapy.

I've coped.

Now I just wanna help

catch f*ck like the ones

that I've abducted mom.

How long does it usually take

before something like this catches on?

You know, like before you

start to make money from it?

It takes as long as it takes, okay?

Like, channels that have a lot

of subscribers put out a lot of content.

So right now, I'm getting

my content out there

and gaining subscribers.

I mean, for now, while

you're building your thing,

can't this be like a hobby?

Like, you still do it,

but you know, then go to law school.

I saved up a lot of money

so that I could focus on this full time.

Well, you graduated with

a criminal justice degree.

It just seems like a waste of talent

posting YouTube videos full time.

Can you like try to be supportive?

I'm simply offering advice.

Yeah, well, your

advice, it's, it's mean.

You know, if mom were here, she...

I gotta go.

Honey, don't be so dramatic.

Sit down and finish your cupcake.

Sorry, can't.

My hobby is really demanding.

Happy birthday, mom.

Hey, you're Deana's friend, right?

Ah, she's my neighbor,

but I have no idea where she is.

Well, if you talk to her,

could you please tell her that,

that I love her?

And that she's the hottest

girl I've ever seen in my life.

Okay?

Could you tell her that, please?

Yeah, I don't actually

really talk to her that much.

We're not really friends.

Oh.

I'm gonna go outside.

Oh, okay, but you could just, oh

Good luck.

- It's just, she's-

- Have a good night.

Sorry.

Deana?

What the hell are you doing here?

Oh, just side grabbing

content for TikTok and the Gram.

How did you get in?

Your backside was unlocked.

I hopped up from my balcony.

What? Are you crazy?

We're like five floors up.

Why didn't you tell me

you had all this camera

and lighting equipment?

I've been using it all day.

Okay, first of all, you have to ask

before you use it, and

the answer would be no.

And second of all, don't

break into my apartment.

Why did you break into my apartment?

Okay, stop saying break in.

It's not breaking in if we're friends.

We're not friends.

I dumped Bo again and I didn't

want him to know I was home,

so I came here.

When I saw all your equipment,

I decided to do a photo sh**t.

Yeah, well, photo sh**t's over, okay?

And next time, please don't

hop across my balcony.

Just use the front door, after you knock.

I'm not going out there.

If I go out there, I'll have to sit there

and listen to Bo cry for hours.

It's pathetic.

Then why do you keep getting

back together with him?

He's cute and he worships me.

He has a surprisingly huge d*ck.

Ew.

(gentle music)

Please put it back

exactly how you found it.

[Deana] Relax. Jesus.

Don't you feel like a phony

pretending to be at the pool?

Hell no.

I need content and lots of it.

You think I wanna go

driving all over town?

Plus, background barely matters anyway.

This is the real money maker.

I can't believe you

have so many followers

posting that vapid sh*t.

Hey, you could too.

You're hot and you've got a great a*s.

No thanks.

I prefer to hang on to my dignity.

Hmm, I prefer to have money.

What do you have to eat?

How long do you plan on being here?

Till the crybaby goes home.

Or if I suddenly feel like having sex.

You're so mean to that guy.

Whatever.

I'm helping him.

A bad heartbreak is what

he needs to toughen up.

He'll thank me later.

I don't want that.

I'm planning on making tea.

God, you're boring.

Not like poser boring,

like real deal boring.

Just drink the f*cking thing.

I already opened it.

So what's new with you?

Dating anyone?

Humping anyone?

No, I'm focusing on

my channel right now.

Oh yeah.

You're a true crime thing, right?

Yes, but only crimes

dealing with the occult.

Wait, occult k*lled your mom, right?

Or a Satanist us or something?

Or something.

- So Freudian.

- Can you leave?

Wait, is that one of your videos?

And the most recent one, yeah.

You've got eight f*cking views

and you're talking on mine, girl.

Hey, I just started my channel,

okay, like two months ago,

I'm working on my subscriber base.

Yeah, I mean, if I posted

your link to my page,

you'd get like a hundred

thousand views in 15 minutes.

- Would you do that?

- Hell no.

If I posted that sh*t on my

page, I would lose followers.

Are, are there any good?

- I can show you one.

- How long is it?

- Eight minutes.

- Eight minutes. That's long.

Um, I got an idea.

Why don't you send it to

me and I'll watch it later.

- Okay.

- I'm just gonna peek

and see if he's still out there.

Okay.

He is still out there.

You know, sometimes I'm wanna call his dad

and ask him where he went wrong.

Hello? What are you doing?

Don't you know I need constant attention.

This Judy person emailed me

with a story for my next episode.

Listen.

"Hello Kat."

I love your show and have

watched all three episodes.

I have a story about a witch

coven and a missing girl

that I think you should

do an episode about.

They're from the town that I grew up in.

Several years ago,

a girl went missing and the

town all blend the witches,

but nothing was ever proven.

Nobody on YouTube

or streamers have ever

done a story on them.

You would be the first.

Being from that town,

I'm able to get us

interviews with the witches

and I know the sheriff so

we can interview him too.

All I ask is that you let me

co-produce the episode with you.

Like you, I love true crime

and would love to be involved.

I would leave all the

on-camera stuff to you.

I just wanna help.

"Your fan, Judy"

Co-produce.

Who does this b*tch think she is?

Wait, you do the on camera

stuff for your episodes?

- Yeah.

- You?

Why does that confuse you?

I don't know, you're

like a timid little mouse.

You know, I can't see you

acting like a reporter.

Now, I actually wanna watch an episode.

Okay. But doesn't this sound good?

This story has never been covered before.

Do you know how hard it is

to find a true crime story

that's never been covered?

So like, who does your

makeup and dresses as you

when you're on camera?

- I do.

Yikes.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna call her.

What's wrong with my makeup?

Nothing. It's fine.

Wait, don't just call some

ran do who emailed you.

She might be a psycho.

Sorry, it's ringing.

Hello, is this Judy?

Hi, this is Kat Van Owen from Kat Crime.

I saw your email and it

sounded really promising.

I'd love to discuss it further with you.

Yeah, that, that sounds

great. Tomorrow's perfect.

I'll send you my address

and we can go from there.

Okay, I will see you tomorrow. Bye.

Don't just send crazy

girl your home address.

Why didn't you just say

meet at a coffee shop?

I don't know.

She seems sweet and she only

lives like 40 minutes away.

Someone who follows you

on YouTube just happens to live nearby.

Don't you think that's strange?

I post the video in a Facebook group.

She saw where I lived and she emailed me.

She's on Facebook. What is she, 60?

I don't know, okay?

And it doesn't even matter

if she ends up being a

psycho, crazy person.

I can just pepper spray her

and call the police, okay?

- I don't like it.

- Well,

good thing it has nothing to do with you.

When does she come here?

Tomorrow at three.

So please tell your crying boyfriend

to get out of the hallway.

Bye.

(soft music)

(person knocking)

What do you want?

I have a guest coming any minute.

That's why I'm here. You're too naive.

I'm here to make sure this

girl isn't some active sh**ter.

I think I'll be fine, but thanks.

You can go now.

- Mel.

- It's Kat.

Your dark true crime name.

Anyway, Kat, you don't

stand up for yourself.

When we were kids,

you used to let people

bully you into things

and I'm here to make sure this girl

doesn't suddenly think

she's running the show.

Okay, this is a pretty serious meeting.

Can you please leave?

Ooh, I always put out a nice

spread when I have guests.

- Are you kidding me?

- Hashtag,

how do you spell charcuterie?

P-H-O-N-Y.

Now you can go, please.

Okay, you're just, the minute

she walks in, you leave.

- Judy.

- Hello, Miss Van Owen.

Welcome. Come on in

and please call me Kat.

I can't believe I'm meeting you.

I am such a big fan of yours.

Oh, hello.

What up, Judy?

This is my neighbor Deana.

She was actually just leaving.

You know what?

This is all so exciting,

I think I'll stay.

Do you want a drink?

I'd love tea if you have it.

- Of course, I also love tea.

- Please, have a seat.

Eat some food. I love

your dress, by the way.

Oh, thank you so much. I, I made it.

No way, it's beautiful.

I prefer to wear fabrics that are free

of harsh chemicals and dyes.

Unfortunately, that proves difficult,

hence me making most of my own clothes.

I love that.

Hey, I know you think this is a big joke,

but this is really important to me, okay?

Please leave.

I told you I'd leave when

I made sure she wasn't crazy.

She drinks tea and makes

her own f*cking clothes.

I mean, so far, it

looks pretty crazy town.

I'll be quiet, promise.

Oh, what's this?

Oh, it's my resume.

I figured you should have it

if you're to trust me with your episode.

Oh, right, yeah, no, thank you so much.

Okay, let me look at this.

As you can see, I have a

degree in world religion.

Hence why I find crimes of the occult

to be particularly fascinating,

albeit reprehensible.

I don't see any production

experience on here,

so besides giving us the story,

what else are you bringing to the table?

Well, Deana, as I told

Ms. Van Owen in the email,

I reached out to this coven of witches

and secured permission

for us to tell their side

of the story and even film

them inside their home.

I'm also friends with

the sheriff of the town

and convinced him to let us

see the investigation files

of the woman who disappeared years ago.

I believe that falls under the banner of

what a true crime producer does.

Carry on.

Pardon my inquisitiveness,

but what exactly is it

that you do for Kat?

Yeah, you know, what is it

that you do for me, Deana?

Well, I am so glad you asked Judith.

What I do with Kat is

cinematography and marketing.

So when Kat posts this video,

I'm the one who makes sure

someone actually watches it.

So, Judy, tell me more about this case.

What's the name of the coven

and what happened to the missing girl

and what's the name of the town?

Right, well, pardon my reluctance

to share details via email.

I just wanted to secure my involvement

before I divulge specifics.

Oh no, yeah, you're

involved, you're hired.

Let's get into it.

Miss Van Owen, that is wonderful news.

Stop. Please call me Kat.

You can call me Miss Deleon though.

If that's what you wish.

Well, I grew up in a

town called Stillwell.

There was a coven of

witches that lived there.

They were considered strange

by the standards of the small town.

Witches are weird by

the standard of any town.

Ms. Deleon, they're quite normal.

Actually, witches are just regular people

who practice a belief system

outside of the more widely

accepted Christianity.

Hmm. And what religion are you, Judy?

- I'm an atheist.

- Oh, so am I.

Oh, I believe only an

atheist can adequately

study any particular belief

structure without bias.

So what did these witches do?

Why should Kat spend her valuable time

and resources on this story?

When I was 13, a girl

in our town went missing,

Missy Traverse.

Someone claims that they

saw one of the witches,

Prudence Putnum, speaking

with her in the grocery

store parking lot that day.

But that's it.

No other evidence was

brought against the Putnums.

But when the gossip

spread all over the town,

someone even went as far as

to burn a cross in their lawn.

Wow.

But are you saying that

they weren't involved?

I believe in evidence

and the rule of law,

but I don't actually know

if they were involved.

The witches have refused

to discuss it in the media.

Okay, so why did they

agree to talk to us?

Because I was friends

with their daughter.

- Was?

- She died.

We used to play together as children.

- How'd she die?

- She got sick.

It's probably best not to mention her

when we interview them.

Right, when can we interview them?

They're two hours away by car.

I was thinking I could pick

you up tomorrow at 1:00 PM.

Tomorrow.

I can't tomorrow, um, I

need to research the story.

I need to prep my questions.

I don't think that's gonna work.

I understand.

But tomorrow they're

having a special ceremony.

It's their yearly celebration

of celestial occurrence.

They said we could film it.

Dude, that would be cool B-roll.

You definitely want footage

of them doing their freaky witch sh*t.

I don't, I'm so sorry, Judy.

I don't think I can do it tomorrow.

The ceremony, I don't

even know what it is,

so I wouldn't even know what to film.

Do you think that we can just push it

to next week or the week after?

Darn, I was hoping you'd

be on board for tomorrow.

The witches were excited

about the prospect

of having their ceremony filmed.

If we can't do it tomorrow,

they don't wanna do it at all.

I, I, I, I-

That's Kat speak for she's in.

Okay, come tomorrow at

one in your little van

or whatever you drive

and we'll be good to go.

We, huh? You're not going.

All right, come on now, sweetie.

Let's go.

- Deana.

- See you tomorrow.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- So Judy,

it was nice to meet you.

- See you tomorrow.

Okay.

- Thank you so much, Judy.

I'll text you about tomorrow.

- I know, I know.

- Bye.

Why were you so rude to her?

Because you're gonna

let her walk all over you.

Walk all over me?

She was so nice and polite.

How can you have a true crime show

when you're this bad at reading people?

I mean, she was a

condescending little twat,

but this is a great lead, okay?

You need to cover this witch story.

She wants to do it

tomorrow. That's too soon.

I'm just gonna text her

and tell her that I can't.

Dude, stop being so you, okay?

I'll point the camera

at these f*cking people

and you ask them questions.

What do you need to be ready for?

You're not coming.

You're gonna embarrass me and

I need to be professional.

Professional? They're f*cking witches.

We're going to Hogwarts

not a board meeting.

Why do you even wanna

come so badly anyway?

Because Bo won't leave me alone

and I could use some good road trip pics

for my Instagram anyway.

Well, it's not happening.

So sorry, maybe next time.

If you let me come,

I'll post the link to

your video on my page.

- You will?

- Yes.

My 2 million followers

will click on the link

thinking it's a sexy video of me,

but instead they'll see you

doing f*cking true crime.

I will lose followers to

help you boost your channel.

Now that I think of it,

I'm gonna have to style you

and do your makeup so I can keep some.

No, I'm not gonna

dress like a, like you.

Oh, go on. How do I dress?

Minimalist.

b*tch, don't worry,

you'll look professional,

just a bit more fitted and titted.

I don't know.

2 million followers.

Road trip, off to cover some true crime.

Stay tuned.

It's a risk.

(soft music)

Oh, I think that's her.

Damn, wasn't expecting

a farm girl to drive that.

So you are coming?

I always come, Judith.

I am aware you're an influencer,

but I'd really appreciate it

if you didn't film me or my car.

- Oh, sorry, Judy.

- Deana,

just put it away for like a day, please.

No, thanks for the suggestion though.

I'm sorry. I don't.

(soft music)

Please, can we talk, just five minutes?

- Who's he?

- Her boyfriend

or well, ex-boyfriend, or boyfriend?

I don't know, I can't keep up.

I can't. I'm leaving.

- Where are you going

- Girl's Trip.

Where?

Place called Nunya.

- Are guys gonna be there?

- Bye Bo.

I love you.

(soft music)

So I tried looking

up the case last night,

but I couldn't find

anything on Missy Traverse.

The case never got any media attention.

That's why I'm excited for us to cover it.

That way we can give it

the spot it deserves.

Maybe we'll even find new

clues that implicate them.

I think because Missy was over 18

and the police couldn't find any evidence,

they just assumed that she took off.

But you don't?

When I played there as a child,

I found their bravado unnerving.

What does that mean?

It just seemed like they were righteous.

Like if they did do something ill*gal,

they would feel justified.

What about you? Why do

you cover the occult?

Um, did you watch my latest episode?

Of course, Virginia Van Owen.

She was my mom.

I figured 'cause of the last name.

- I'm so sorry.

- Thanks.

It's been almost 10 years now.

But yeah, I always suspected

that a cult got her,

so I figured I would

start covering the occult.

Hopefully, help someone

else along the way.

Oh, I hope this is the first

of many episodes we can do together.

I would love that.

- Wow.

- What?

I just finished watching all three

of your videos back to back and yikes.

What?

Kat, I love you, but

these videos are rough.

Thank God I am here because

these babies need work.

You're a very rude person.

Kat's worked very hard

and these comments are

in no way constructive.

Okay, listen, Handmaid's Tale,

Kat's grown and doesn't need

someone she met yesterday

defending her.

You need to learn some boundaries.

She's my friend since elementary.

I'll tell her whatever the f*ck I want.

Were we friends in elementary school

or junior high or high school?

I mean, we didn't hang out all the time.

Or ever.

Okay, we're getting off track.

Okay, these videos are sh*t.

And if you think that

I'm gonna post your video

to my 2 million subscribers

without making sure that

they're good, you're high.

But I'm here to help, okay?

And lucky for you, the one thing I know

how to do is create content people want.

Great.

Hey, let me cover gas.

I must respectfully decline.

I'm paying for gas and transportation.

Okay, well at least let me pitch in.

Okay, she said she's got it.

Definitely on the way back then.

Deal.

Yo, when we get to the Putnum house,

I'm gonna need you to pull your weight.

I need help.

I'm gonna help, okay?

After watching the videos,

I've got a ton of ideas.

You do?

Don't tell buzz k*ll out there,

but I took a video production class.

Really? When? Why?

About a year ago after my

socials started blowing up.

I mean, I know you think

all I do is post lame sh*t,

but I'm a content creator

and a successful one.

I know you don't think so,

but I can help you grow your channel.

Well, good, because it

does need help. I know that.

Look, I got you, okay?

But listen, you're in charge.

These witches are expecting a

pro, so you need to tell them

who you wanna sh**t and when, okay?

Get as much footage as you want.

Don't ask, just sh**t. This is your set.

The sheriff is meeting

us at the Putnum's, right?

Yes, he's gonna meet us there,

but he's just gonna wait outside just

so they see that someone's

there for backup.

You know, just for safety.

Good idea. And he has the case files?

Probably. I forgot to double check.

Oh, no problem.

I just wish I had more

time to study the files.

Let's go.

(soft music)

This is where they live?

[Judy] Their house

is a few streets over,

but this is the neighborhood.

Oh.

That's the Putnum's residence.

Well, that's lame.

- Lame?

- Yeah.

I mean, I was expecting something cool.

It's a boring a*s house.

Is this a coven of witches

or a coven of soccer moms?

I'm more concerned with

what happens inside the house.

Here comes Sheriff Smith.

That's him. He's kind of hot.

I mean, I was expecting a redneck.

Ah, Judy Blue Eyes.

Good morning, Sheriff Smith.

Hey. Oh, that's my g*n.

Watch yourself. How are your folks?

They're good. They're so

happy you're looking after us.

Oh geez. Of course.

Can't let anything happen to you ladies.

This is Kat,

the amazing true crime journalist

I was telling you about.

Hi, Thank you so much.

Oh, it's a pleasure.

And Judy was saying that you wanted

to interview me as well

for this thing, yeah?

Yes. That would be amazing, sir.

Yeah. Yeah. But just so you know,

I was not the sheriff when

her disappearance occurred.

I was just a deputy back at that time.

Did you work on the case?

I did, but Sheriff Maddox,

he was in charge at the time.

- Did he retire?

- Gosh, I wish.

No, sadly he passed away.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- Yeah, so I'm sorry.

I lost my train of thought.

I can't do that interview

with you today though, okay?

But you guys go in here,

get whatever you need

from the Putnum's, okay,

and then you can just do

me on a different day.

We can absolutely do

you on a different day.

This is Miss Deleon.

Deana.

Hi. Hi, Deana. It's good to meet you.

Okay, what do you do on the team?

Producing, camera,

marketing, wardrobe, makeup.

Wow, okay, you are a busy lady.

Yeah, I'm capable of

doing a lot more than that.

I bet you are.

I like your handcuffs.

Do you think you could get a photo

of you fake arresting me for my Insta?

Deana. She's totally

kidding. Just ignore her.

It's fine. It's fine, Kat.

Do you think I can look

at the Missy Traverse files?

Gee, I got a bit of bad news about that.

You can see the files, you can.

You can take photos,

you can make copies, whatever you like.

But I can't legally take

those files outta the office,

so I don't have 'em here with me today.

But hey, you're coming back, right?

Yes, we are.

Okay, well, great.

You guys can just interview

me at the office then,

I could show you the files.

Yeah, I'll tell you what,

you guys could even take some photos

from inside the jail cell,

post 'em on your Instagram.

Can I wear bikini?

Yeah, you're in friend of

Judy's, so sure, why not?

You could do anything

as long as it's legal.

We should get unpacking.

(unsettling music)

Judy mentioned that you

were gonna just let them know

that you're here.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

When you kids walk in, just tell Prudence

to just, you know, look outside

and gimme a little wave, right?

That way she knows that I know.

Thank you so much.

I'm sure they're really nice.

It's just, you know,

better safe than sorry.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

And I will come back

and pop in just to say

hello, check on you guys.

That would be amazing.

You really make us feel so safe, Sheriff.

Do you guys need any

help with your gear or

I think we're good. Thank you, Sheriff.

You sure? Okay.

Thank you so much.

Can you try not being

you for like a second?

What? I was just having

fun with the old guy.

Plus now he can think about me later

when he smacks around his little wee wee.

Besides, I think he liked you anyway.

Are you gonna carry anything?

Judy, just text me if you need me, okay?

I'll come right back.

Okay, thank you so much

for getting the sheriff.

I feel like a thousand times safer,

now I can just focus

on getting this story.

You are gonna do great. It's

gonna be a wonderful episode.

Do you wanna knock or should I?

Jesus.

(knocking)

(door creaking)

(door creaking)

(door slamming)

What the f*ck?

(sinister music)

(laughing)

I am sorry ladies.

We're just having a bit of fun with you.

People come here expecting witches

and we don't want to disappoint.

Merry meet and blessings be.

Winston.

That was awesome.

You guys already rule.

We should've been filming that.

Oh, is that my little Judy?

Oh, I miss you.

Oh, you're such a powerful young woman.

I can feel your confidence

emanating through me.

Judy, introduce me to your friends.

Oh, well, first the sheriff

was hoping you could poke

your head out and say hello.

Of course I can do that.

(door creaking)

Oh, my name's Deana.

I know I've only known

you like three minutes,

but I'm already a huge fan.

When's your birthday?

Um, August 3rd.

Leo, of course you are.

This is Kat Van Owen.

She runs and hosts the YouTube channel.

Yes, Kat Crime: Tales of the Occult.

Tell me, Kat,

what happens if it turns out

we're not actually criminals?

Will you edit it so we appear more devious

than we actually are?

I would never do that.

I'm just here to get your

side of the story, that's it.

Why do you guys have a

huge four on your wall?

We also have it on our chests.

May I explain?

This is not the number four.

This symbol represents Jupiter.

We are the coven of Jupiter.

Give them some shirts.

Witch merch. Nice.

Aren't they fun?

We're trying to make more of an effort

to brand ourselves, get our message out.

That's why we agreed to this interview

Why Jupiter?

What's the significance?

Kat, don't you think

that's a question we should

be getting on camera?

Oh, Mr. And Mrs. Putnum.

- Miss.

- Sorry?

I prefer Miss.

Mrs was a label assigned

to married women by men

to make it clear that

they belong to a man.

Winston is my husband,

but I belong to no one.

Sorry, Ms. and Mr. Putnum.

These are the release forms.

They're just giving us

permission to use the footage

that we get today for distribution.

- Dear?

- You may sign.

I will digitize these.

Where should we set up?

Let's see.

The blackout drapes are perfect.

Let's keep those close so

we don't have any changes

in the light throughout the day.

Judy, these lights are great.

Let's light those candles

and get a light over there.

Is there a room where Kat can get changed

and styled?

- Styled?

Certainly, the first door on the right

belongs to our daughter.

It has a vanity. It should suffice.

Oh, where's the camera?

Great. Once you're done

setting up the lights,

start getting video of the house, okay?

sh**t as much as you can.

We don't know what we're gonna use,

so just get us plenty of options.

That would be really

helpful. Thanks, Judy.

You, let's go.

(gentle music)

Please don't go

overboard with the makeup.

You're gorgeous.

You don't need makeup.

The makeup is for the camera and lights.

Do you think news anchors

wanna wear makeup?

Your a host, comes with the territory.

Okay. I can't believe I'm saying this,

but I was really impressed

with how you took charge out there.

We have to.

I mean, we can't let these

people see us fumbling around,

especially Prudence.

She's awful as f*ck.

I mean, we need to at

least look like we know

what we're doing.

Ugh, I do not feel prepared.

You are gonna do fine, okay?

But don't be afraid to

ask whatever you want.

You're in charge, remember?

Okay, this room is eerie.

Yeah, a dead child's room

in the house of witches is eerie.

I mean, it doesn't

feel like a kid's room.

Like I feel like my

grandma would live here.

Like, look at that.

What 10-year-old has a letter opener?

Apparently that one.

She was cute.

Who? Birthmark?

Don't be mean.

She was probably bullied for it.

Honestly, I'm surprised they

even let us use her old room.

Then again, it's probably

the only room in the house

that doesn't have a bunch

of bizarre witch sh*t in it

that they don't want us to see.

Done.

Let me see.

No, put this on first.

What is that?

Your outfit. Put it on.

Can I get some privacy?

2 million followers.

Okay.

When was the last time that

you saw Missy Traverse?

You were the last person

to see Missy Traverse.

What did you two discuss?

Nice job, Judy. This looks legit.

Where's the weirdos?

That's very disrespectful.

You're in their house.

Oops, sorry.

Where's the witches

who might have m*rder*d an innocent girl?

That better?

Can I speak freely?

Go for it.

This episode is very important to Kat.

I feel like she needs us

here to support her vision.

What the f*ck do you

think I'm doing here?

I think you're trying

to make this about you.

This is about her. This is

Kat's channel, not yours.

May I speak freely?

I don't like you, you stupid c**t.

That was all. That's all

I wanted to freely say.

Oh, Kat, you look lovely.

Lovely? She looks hot.

- Oh my gosh.

- Except, that's better.

No.

b*tch, if you button that

again, I will slap you.

Where are the Putnums?

They're just changing.

Why don't you take your

spot right over here.

Ladies, please welcome

the high priestess

who presides over the Coven of Jupiter.

Mistress-

Oh, wait.

Now I'm recording. Okay, start over.

Ladies, please welcome

the high priestess

who presides over the Coven of Jupiter,

Mistress Prudence Putnum.

(audience applauding)

(soft music)

Fire away.

There's nothing Winston can

contribute that I can't.

Go ahead.

(clearing throat)

What is the Coven of Jupiter?

It's everything, to us anyway.

Historically, witch covens are formed

with different objectives.

Put simply, our objective is prosperity.

Jupiter is the planet of

luck, fortune and success.

All things humans need

to prosper and thrive.

I didn't realize

that witches we're so

connected to astrology.

Witches, and most pagan beliefs,

live and die by astrology.

Astrology rules everything.

It's responsible for everything

from the tides of the ocean

to the type of spells we cast.

Are you a Christian?

- I grew up one, but-

- You're familiar with Jesus?

[Kat] Of course.

How many apostles did Jesus have?

How many signs in the zodiac are there?

That's not a coincidence.

They represent the 12 energies.

These energies are behind everything

that happens in this world,

and when they are harnessed correctly,

which is what we endeavor to do,

they can be extremely powerful.

So are you saying

that Jesus didn't exist?

Jesus' story, like all

other modern religions,

are simply a bastardized

version of pagan beliefs

and rituals which came before them.

But why is our way of life

considered part of the occult

and yet Christianity

is accepted as normal?

Well, you mentioned you cast spells.

Modern people might find that a little

You can say it, weird.

But you know what I find weird?

Going to church on Sunday

to perform the ritual

of drinking the blood and

eating the flesh of a dead man,

all while performing a

memorized incantation.

So I think weird is subjective.

I agree, that's why I'm an atheist.

Ah, atheism, no offense,

but I find that weird.

To believe in nothing means

to deny the energies around us.

Well, what are the energies?

Love, hate, joy, fear, luck.

These are not just

individual frames of mind.

They're all around us. They affect us.

Have you ever heard of the

saying fear is contagious?

That's true, but it's not just fear.

It's every emotion and state of being.

They're all contagious.

You can catch luck

and success as easily as

you can catch a virus.

And like a virus,

you must expose yourself to these things.

Expose yourself to joy.

Expose yourself to love.

And in our case, we follow

the movements of Jupiter

because we value success and prosperity.

Is it working? Are you prosperous?

Immensely.

How many members do

you have in your coven?

Quite a few and growing,

but I'd prefer to not

give an actual number.

Why not?

For the same reason people

burned a cross on our lawn

when that girl went missing.

The larger we grow, the

more people fear us.

That girl, do you mean Missy Traverse?

I do.

I'm told that you were the

last person to see her alive.

Is that true?

No.

You weren't the last person to see her?

Presuming she's dead,

whoever k*lled her would've

been the last person

to see her alive and I didn't k*ll her.

You were seen talking

to her in a parking lot

at a grocery store, is that true?

Yes.

What did you two discuss?

I wouldn't call it a discussion.

She complimented my outfit.

I thanked her and told her

where I'd gotten it from.

That's it.

Disappointing, isn't it?

Me, a high priestess of

a powerful witch coven

and we talked about shopping.

Not our higher purpose in life,

not a witch recruiting pitch,

just boring old shopping.

Oh.

Um, you have your ceremony tonight.

What are you celebrating or honoring?

Today is, honestly,

the biggest day of the year for our coven.

I'm glad you're here to film it.

Us and the other coven

members all over the globe

will all be performing the

same ceremony in our homes.

You have international members?

Oh, sweetheart, we're Earthlings.

The power of Jupiter is

not limited to Americans.

Oh, what are you gonna do?

Tonight, Jupiter will be in transit.

Jupiter will shift from Pisces to Aries,

and it will remain in Aries for a year.

What does that mean?

It means, for the entire year,

Aries will experience

wealth, luck, success.

The full might of Jupiter's

power will be guiding Aries.

This only happens once every 12 years,

depending on your sign.

Well, I hope that's true. I'm an Aries.

Congratulations. This is wonderful news.

This is your year. How old are you?

Ah, make the most of this year.

Jupiter won't be in transit

again for you until you're 34.

Rise. Embrace me.

I can feel it.

I can feel Jupiter ready to enter you.

Ready to fill you up with his power.

(snickering)

(suspenseful music)

Kat, why you are so powerful right now

is the same reason Ms. Deleon is so weak.

She's operating on a very low vibration.

Excuse me.

You're a Leo.

Jupiter hasn't been in

Leo for 11 years now.

You're depleted of its energy.

This is why you are so vulgar and brash.

It's why you lie.

It's why you don't respect yourself.

(laughing)

I know you better than you know yourself.

This is who you are.

You are a shallow attention seeker.

You seek validation from likes

because you have no substance.

Mrs. Putnum, I think

that's a little out of line.

I got this, Kat.

f*ck you, b*tch. I mean, witch.

Okay, you're f*cking nuts.

Jupiter is a rock in the sky, that's it.

If you're some powerful high priestess,

then why the do you live

in this basic a*s house?

Oh, dear.

Dude, get the hell away from me.

I'm not gonna touch you.

You have disrespected our home

and you have disrespected

the high priestess.

I need you to leave now.

I need my stuff.

I'll get it.

Come on, Kat, pack up, let's

get the f*ck out of here.

Kat, I'm more than willing

to continue this interview

after she leaves.

I do hope you stay.

Well, she's not. Come on, Kat, let's go.

Excuse me.

Deana. Deana. Deana, stop.

Kat, please tell me you're

not seriously gonna stay

with these people after that bull sh*t.

Okay, she was rude, she really was,

but I need to finish this.

You're kidding, right?

Count Dracula in there,

just called one of your

oldest friends a piece of sh*t

and kicked me out.

Okay, we drove all the way up here.

We're already all set up,

just let me finish this.

So you're choosing

some mentally ill witches

over a friend.

When did we become such amazing friends?

Because the last I remember,

you never even talked to me in school.

You never even sat with me at lunch once.

Okay, we grew up together.

We were all friends.

Just because we didn't

go to the same parties

doesn't mean that I didn't like you.

You only started talking to me

because you moved in next

door and you were bored.

Where are all your cool friends now?

Fine. If you don't wanna be my friend,

I'll stop bothering you.

f*ck, 2%.

What are you gonna do?

Tell church girl to unlock her car.

I'll wait in there.

(door creaking)

I am sorry you have to

deal with her unpleasantness.

I hope you realize that she's not for you.

You operate on a higher plane than her.

You would do well to cut people

like her out of your life.

She's really not that bad

when you get to know her.

You shouldn't have to

make excuses for her,

but that's all I'll say.

It's your affair and I've

stuck my nose in it enough.

Shall we continue?

Do you ladies like tea?

We love tea.

Why don't we share a cup

of tea before we continue?

Give us a moment to distance ourselves

from that little outburst.

Sound good?

Yes, ma'am.

Sure, thanks.

Do you mind if I ask you

a question off the record?

Nonsense, press record.

I noticed that Winston

takes his cues from you.

Yes, I guess that seems odd

in this male dominated Christian culture,

but when you're attuned to the energies,

you quickly realize that women

are vastly superior to men.

Superior, not equal?

Goodness, no.

Earth is a mother. We

are the bringers of life,

the creators.

Women have more talent, intelligence,

and strength than men by a wide margin.

Oh, allow me.

Can I ask you a question, Kat?

Of course.

What do you think happened to your mom?

What?

I saw your episode

about her disappearance.

What do you think happened to her?

I don't know.

She was very special, wasn't she?

What was her sign?

Her birthday was yesterday.

I don't know what her sign is.

She's a Taurus.

I am also a Taurus. My

birthday's next week.

Happy early birthday.

(knocking)

Hi, sheriff.

Deana, right?

Yep. Deana, I thought you

weren't coming back until later.

Ah, you know it's such a small town.

I just thought I would pop in,

make sure everything was okay.

It's fine.

Kat and Judy are in there

now interviewing them.

I'll be in there in a bit.

How come you're not in there

with them? Did you get bored?

No, I just needed to make

some posts on Instagram.

I'll head in in a bit.

Everything okay?

Yeah, it's fine.

Thanks for checking on us.

(door slamming)

It must be a boring a*s town

More?

No, thanks.

It was good though.

Did Judy tell you we had a daughter?

She did. I'm sorry

For what?

She's still with us.

Our energies never die.

Hers is still very strong.

That's another reason this transition

of Jupiter is so special.

Our daughter is also an Aries.

This is a big day for her spirit.

I am a Taurus and my daughter is an Aries.

Your mother is a Taurus

and you're an Aries.

Don't you find that wonderful?

What a coincidence.

Oh, there are no coincidences.

We were brought together.

Shall we get back to the interview?

Is that okay?

- Yeah, totally.

Are you warmed dear?

We can turn up the AC.

No, I think the lights are

just a little hot. It's fine.

It is getting a little warm in here.

Winston's on it.

It will be crispy in

minutes. Please continue.

- Okay. Are we recording?

- Yeah, rolling.

(dramatic music)

On second thought, you know what?

It's a little bit warm in here.

Do you mind if I just use

your restroom to freshen up?

Go ahead. I'll cut.

First door on the left, dear.

(suspenseful music)

(breathing heavily)

(tense music)

Okay.

(whimpering)

Hey, you don't have to

stay here. We're fine.

Well, yeah. I was just about to leave

and then I just remembered your request.

My request?

To fake arrest you for your Instagram.

No, that's okay. Thanks, I was joking.

Are you sure?

I mean, I'm happy to do it.

I'll make it look believable.

No, I'm good.

I was just about to head in anyway.

Okay, back to patrolling then.

Mm.

(dramatic music)

What's wrong?

Nothing, you just scared me.

You sure?

Sorry, just needed

to just splash some water on my face.

Ready?

Yes. We better hurry.

The ceremony starts soon.

Oh, you know what, Tina's

probably really thirsty.

Let me go bring her a bottle of water.

I'll take it to her.

You two, carry on.

It's okay. I can just go

check on her. It's fine.

Kat, why don't you just

let Mr. Putnum handle it.

We have a lot to cover.

Actually, I just really

wanna get some fresh air,

so I'm just gonna go outside.

What's the problem, Kat?

I'm sensing troubled energy from you.

Nothing's wrong. I

just wanna go outside.

Is that okay?

(knocking)

It's Miss Deleon.

Open the door, Winston.

(door creaking)

I don't wanna argue.

I just need Judy's car keys

so I can charge my phone.

Nonsense, dear.

You don't need to stay in the car.

I'm really glad you came back

because that gives me the

opportunity to apologize to you

for my abhorrent behavior earlier.

I'm so sorry.

You're a fellow queen in this world

and I should have never

diminished your spirit.

Do you accept my apology?

I have to admit, Deana,

you are a good producer

and we could really use

your creative eye for this.

Okay, I'll stay and finish the sh**t,

and I do accept your apology.

Wonderful. In that case, let's resume.

I was telling Kat that

our ceremony starts soon,

so we must conclude

this interview by then.

That seems doable.

We do need time to light

for the ceremony stuff.

Is that happening in here?

Yes, at the altar.

They're dangerous. We need to leave.

(suspenseful music)

You know what?

I don't accept your bull sh*t apology.

You f*ck are rude. I'm outta here.

And Kat, don't try and stop me.

I'm over these people.

Let me just go talk to her.

(door slamming)

Why don't we all take

a moment, shall we?

What the f*ck Winston? Outta my way.

Apparently you ladies don't understand

who you are in the presence of.

People travel from around the globe

just to have a five minute

audience with this woman,

and she is allowing you to

spend hours in her presence.

And even allowing you,

you, to ask her questions.

Yet you ladies are so

content at disrespecting her

and disrespecting this house,

I won't have it!

Ms. Putnum, high priestess,

I, I think things just

got a little bit heated.

I just don't think that

we understand your ways.

Maybe we should just pack

up everything and go,

we don't wanna ruin your ceremony, so

That's very thoughtful,

but we can't let you leave.

See, you weren't here to

simply watch the ceremony.

My dear, you are the ceremony.

Listen, this is pepper spray.

I will f*cking blind all of you, I swear!

Kat, Kat!

Put the pepper spray

down and I won't k*ll her.

I told you not to trust this b*tch.

That's quite enough from you.

Kat, I'm sure you realize

that Judy is in fact our daughter.

She was tasked with getting

you here for our ceremony.

Your friend, on the other

hand, was not part of the plan,

which means we have no use for her.

So believe me when I tell you

that Judy will k*ll her if

you don't drop your weapon.

Come on, Kat.

How do I know that you

won't just k*ll her anyway?

I'm not going to lie,

we do intend to k*ll her,

but if you cooperate, we will

wait till after the ceremony

so you don't need to witness it.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

(tense music)

Kat, if you don't mind,

would you approach the altar?

Why?

I'll explain everything.

Why would you do this?

It's our destiny.

Now go to the altar or I'll

slit Miss Deleon's throat.

(tense music)

Ah!

(door slamming)

(panting)

(tense music)

Sheriff, you gotta help us.

The Putnums, they're K*llers.

They're gonna k*ll Kat.

What are you talking about?

The Putnums, they're gonna k*ll Kat.

Did they have any g*ns?

I don't know. Okay.

Judy had scissors to my f*cking throat.

They're gonna k*ll Kat. Let's go.

Okay. Okay.

This is the sheriff requesting backup

at the Putnum residence.

It's on Artisan Way.

(car chiming)

Come with me, but stay behind me.

(tense music)

(knocking)

Open up. Open up, it's the sheriff.

Help, help! I'm here, I'm here!

There're k*lling her. Kick it down.

All right.

(tense music)

(door creaking)

Hands up, you three. Against the wall.

Kat! Kat!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Okay. It's okay, you can go untie her.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

(tense music)

On second thought, Deana,

you can keep her taped up.

How much time until we begin our ceremony?

We're minutes away.

Close your mouths, ladies.

Smith is not just the sheriff,

he's also my brother and a

devout member of our coven.

You ladies came on a very special day.

And Kat, you made such

an incredible sacrifice.

Why are you doing this?

We will fill you in

on all of the details,

but first, Winston.

What the f*ck? Get away from me.

Young lady, just get in the chair.

Deana, sit down! We're not asking.

Oh, in case you were wondering,

I didn't really call for backup.

(soft music)

We are recording.

Whatever you're doing,

please, you don't have to do this.

Please.

I wish you understood

how important you are to this process.

I promised I'd explain this

ceremony to you so I shall.

Kat, you're an Aries just

like our daughter here.

In a few minutes, when

Jupiter transitions to Aries,

you and Judy will harness

immense power and prosperity.

Years ago, I discovered

how to double this power.

At the moment of transition,

if in this case, an Aries

sacrifices another Aries,

all of Kat's power will

be transferred to Judy,

and for the next year, Judy will excel

at every endeavor she attempts.

She will thrive and even

surpass her potential.

That's insane!

Judy. Judy, Judy, this isn't you.

You're brainwashed.

Please, you're not a m*rder*r, please.

Oh, Kat, I actually do respect you

and that's why I'm honored

to harness your power.

There is no power!

Please, whatever you're trying to do,

it's not gonna work!

My dear, you aren't some Guinea pig.

I assure you, we've performed

this ceremony in the past

with great success.

It's true, Kat.

Me and the former sheriff,

we were both Scorpios

and six years ago when Jupiter

transitioned to Scorpio,

I sacrificed the sheriff

and then three days later I got the call

that I was to become the new sheriff.

See, it works.

Of course, you became the new sheriff,

you f*cking k*lled the other one!

How do you explain my rise to power?

I performed this ceremony nine years ago.

At that time, this coven consisted only

of the members you see in this room.

After the sacrifice,

our coven went global.

There are dozens of

members all over the globe

about to perform this

ceremony in their homes.

After this video circulates,

there will be hundreds.

Why me? What did I do?

You weren't chosen randomly.

We've been watching you for years.

It was very difficult

for me to find a mother

and daughter who matched

both my sign and Judy's sign

till I met your mother.

What are you talking about?

Kat, who do you think it was

I sacrificed nine years ago?

That's right, your mother

laid right where you are

and her sacrifice made the

success of our coven possible.

I will f*cking k*ll you!

I swear, I swear to f*cking

Two minutes until transition,

everyone take your places.

(whimpering)

(panting)

Place your hand on her heart.

Feel the beat.

I feel it.

That's where you need to bury the dagger

and you must do it with incredible force.

Do you understand?

Yes, high priestess.

30 seconds. I'll tell you when.

(whimpering)

(pounding on the door)

[Bo] Deana, are you in there?

Deana? Deana, are you in there?

Bo, Bo, help me! Help me!

(crying)

Bo!

(tense music)

Bo, watch out!

(tense music)

Dad!

(grunting)

(crying)

Do you mind if I just use

your restroom to freshen up?

First door on the left, dear.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(grunting)

She's loose.

Winston, get her.

(tense music)

(screaming)

Winston!

(tense music)

(grunting)

(tense music)

(panting)

Safety's on.

Give it. Give it to me.

Deana.

(g*n firing)

(screaming)

You inferior!

(screaming)

That was for my mom.

Wait, don't sh**t.

f*ck her. She needs to die.

No, I want her to live

knowing someone k*lled her mom

like I have to.

(whimpering)

sh*t.

In conclusion, the

events at the Putnum home

resulted in the death of three people

and the incarceration

of one Judith Putnum.

This experience has taught me

and our brave crew that

if you cover true crime,

you might just find yourself

in the middle of one.

Thanks for watching Kat Crime.

It's so good.

Thanks to you.

I didn't realize how much I

needed a capable producer.

Well, it's true. I'm really good.

- 4 million views.

- And counting.

You know what this means, right?

What?

Jupiter's in your sign

and now you're successful.

All right, I gotta, I gotta split,

having dinner with my

bruised up boyfriend.

Ooh, tell Bo I said hi.

You should join us.

I mean, you're famous

now, maybe it'll help.

Maybe next time.

I can't tonight, I'm

having dinner with my dad.

- Okay, see you later.

- Bye.

Hello, Judy. I'm Dr. Louie,

the hospital's, let's call me a therapist.

According to your file, you've

been through quite an ordeal.

The first moment I saw you, I

asked to be assigned to you.

(door latching)

Just being in here,

I can feel how powerful you are.

You don't have to worry anymore.

What?

I'm gonna get you outta here.

Smiling faces, always find a welcome

That's why everyone

should learn to smile

Remember after all, your

troubles may be small

Give a little thought

That's worth your while

When you're blue and

kind of lonely too

You'll find a smile

will go a long, long way

And though you're down

Don't see it around and frown

A little smile will

go a long, long way

Never green, just try and make believe

The sky is blue

Although you know it's gray

Don't you find, it

just a waste of time

You'll find a smile

will go a long, long way

Once I used to think

my case was hopeless

Never wore a smile a live long day

But since I've learned to smile

My life has been worthwhile

That is just the reason why I say

When you're blue and

kind of lonely too

You'll find a smile

will go a long, long way

Though your down, don't

pace around and frown

A little smile will

go a long, long way

Never green, just try and make believe

The is blue although you know gray

Don't you find

It's just a waste of time

You'll find a smile

will go a long, long way

A smile will go a long, long, way

A smile will go a long, long way

The sky is blue although

you know it's gray

Don't you find

It's just a waste of time

You'll find a smile

will go a long, long way
