It was the Saturday before Thanksgiving when 22-year-old Dru Sjodin left work, walked through the mall, and called her boyfriend while heading to her car. Four minutes into the call, her voice shifted—distracted, tense. She said, “Okay, okay,” and the line went dead. He thought the call had dropped. By the time her abandoned car was found, night had fallen and the trail was already cold. What no one knew yet was that the voice on the other end of that call had just heard Dru’s final moments of freedom.

You ever hear something so strange it sounds like a made-up urban legend...until you realize it actually happened?

This week, we talk about Ruthie Mae McCoy, a woman trying to piece her life together in one of Chicago’s most dangerous housing projects. She’d finally started turning things around, getting treatment, going back to school, planning her escape from a place that had swallowed so many lives. But then, she made a 911 call. She said someone was coming through her bathroom wall.

What happened next is one of the most haunting true stories we’ve ever covered—eerie, tragic, and almost impossible to believe. If you think “Candyman” was just a movie, wait until you hear what really happened in apartment 1109.
