In the gripping inaugural episode of Beyond the Keystone, host Melissa takes us deep into the heart of Alabama, unraveling two haunting cases that still echo through the state. First, she explores the heartbreaking 2001 abduction and murder of 11-year-old Shannon Paulk in Prattville—a case that shocked the community and remains unsolved. Then, she turns to the tragic and perplexing 1990 Tuscaloosa homicide of 18-year-old Paula Lee Ellis, a young woman whose life was cut short under mysterious and frustrating circumstances. Two lives, two stories, one unforgettable episode.

On August 9, 1990, Donna Dickey's Thursday began like any other. The 32-year-old mother followed her usual payday routine: cashing her check, grabbing a meal from Burger King, and enjoying her food while feeding ducks at Silver Lake Park. Tragically, this would be the last time Donna followed this routine. The next morning, her strangled, half-naked body was discovered near Lower Bucks Hospital in Bristol, with her 1973 gold Ford Pinto close by. What transpired in the hours after Donna left the park, and who could commit such a heartless act?

If you have been listening to our most recent stories you will see we have been slightly dabbling in cases that have controversies. Such as deaths ruled suicide and should have been homicide or even wrongfully convicted. Today we will touch on a wrongfully convicted case with a twist. It involves a murder that was part of a hate crime and an innocent being charged with minimal evidence. I don’t think we have ever done a case that was part of a hate crime. Hate crimes are specifically tricky to convict. Today’s story is going to be a wild ride.

Who doesn’t love a good love story right? It’s really what everyone hopes for. A connection, a partner in crime, your other half if you will. But what happens when love isn’t the driving emotion. What if love is a disguise for control and obsession. When love is so “passionate” it invokes intense reactions. Reactions that are volatile and are irreversible. Today we are going to talk about the case of Terri Lynn Brooks. She was betrayed by the person who was supposed to protect her. He tricked everyone for years until the advancement of DNA which busted this case wide open.
