Best of 2025 | Carrie Culberson: The True Story of Ohio’s Infamous No-Body Murder Case

Author: Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert April 10, 2026 Duration: 1:32:10
Carrie Culberson was just 22 years old when she vanished from Blanchester, Ohio in August 1996. What followed became one of the state’s most haunting true crime cases: a young woman missing, a violent boyfriend at the center of suspicion, a town shaken by fear and rumor, and a murder conviction without a body. For this Best of 2025 revisit, we’re returning to one of the most gripping and unforgettable episodes of Terrifying & True

This story has all the elements that make a case impossible to forget: a terrifying pattern of domestic violence, eyewitnesses who heard Carrie’s cries for help, deeply troubling investigative failures, and a family forced to fight for justice even as Carrie’s body remained missing. It’s one of the most engrossing episodes we released in 2025, and it absolutely deserves a revisit. 

In this episode, we trace the final hours before Carrie disappeared, the escalating abuse in her relationship with Vincent Doan, and the chilling testimony that helped prosecutors build one of Ohio’s most infamous no-body homicide cases. We also dig into the mishandling of the investigation, the courtroom battle that followed, and the long emotional aftermath for Carrie’s family and community. 


Inside this episode:
  • Carrie Culberson’s disappearance and the disturbing final night she was seen alive
  • The abusive relationship that turned deadly
  • Eyewitness accounts that helped shape the case against Vincent Doan
  • Police failures and conflict-of-interest allegations that cast a shadow over the investigation
  • The trial and conviction in one of Ohio’s most well-known no-body murder cases
  • The lasting fight for justice and answers as Carrie’s family continues to seek her remains 

If you’re drawn to Ohio true crime, missing persons cases, domestic violence homicide cases, and emotionally powerful stories where justice comes with no real closure, this is one of the strongest episodes Terrifying & True has ever done. This Best of 2025 re-air is a chance to revisit a case that still haunts Ohio—and still demands to be remembered. We’re telling that story tonight.

This isn't just a seasonal treat; it's a year-round exploration of the unsettling, released every Monday and Wednesday.
