The Crime Tapes

What if a simple family vacation turned into a nightmare that unraveled dark secrets and suspicions? In this gripping episode of Crime Tapes, I'm Nessa, and we uncover the haunting details surrounding Shannon Hercutt's mysterious death in 2009. From the chilling discovery of her Cadillac Escalade off a cliff in Tennessee to the bombshell revelation from the autopsy that her fatal injuries came from blunt force trauma, not the crash itself, this case is shrouded in intrigue and unanswered questions. We dive deep into Penny Stevens' relentless pursuit of justice, her heartbreaking realization during a family vacation, and her unwavering belief that their father, Ted Hercutt, was involved in Shannon's tragic end.
Join us as we explore Penny's bold public accusations on the Dr. Phil show in 2015, where she directly implicated Ted in Shannon's death, sparking nationwide interest and controversy. Despite Ted's vehement denials and his subsequent death in 2017, the case refused to fade into obscurity. In a twist of fate, the Sevier County Sheriff's Office reopened the investigation in 2024, renewing hope for justice and offering a $45,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
