Listen to the hit ABC Audio and "20/20" podcast "What Happened to Holly Bobo?" here Nearly 15 years ago, a young nursing student named Holly Bobo disappeared from her home in rural Tennessee. A few years later, her remains are found — not far from where she went missing.

Even after suspects go to prison for her death, the question remains for some: What happened to Holly Bobo?

ABC Audio and "20/20" introduces the new podcast "Devil in the Desert," hosted by ABC News chief national correspondent Matt Gutman. The new audio series unravels the tangled life of Hossein Nayeri, the mastermind behind one of the most brutal crimes in California history. "Devil in the Desert" begins in 2012, when a sheriff's deputy found a woman with her hands bound, wandering in the Mojave Desert. She led authorities to a grisly crime scene where a barbaric attack had taken place on her roommate. This moment marked the beginning of an international manhunt for the suspected mastermind behind the attack: Hossein Nayeri, a charming man who had ties to the emerging medical marijuana industry in California. From Newport Beach to the Czech Republic and even Iran, law enforcement tracked down Nayeri, turning his once-loyal wife into an informant in a sting operation to lure him back to the United States for an arrest. Once he is behind bars, another twist leads prosecutors on a second manhunt for Nayeri. The series is available now on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, and other major podcast platforms as well as right here.

Listen to the "Bad Rap: The Case Against Diddy" podcast here. For decades, Sean "Diddy" Combs was among the most influential entertainers and entrepreneurs in hip-hop. But Diddy's star began to implode when a video came out showing the music mogul assaulting his then-girlfriend. There had long been whispers about Diddy's aggression. But critics say his influence and relevance kept the rumors quiet. Until now. A raft of new lawsuits detail shocking allegations of sexual abuse and manipulation orchestrated in so-called "freak offs" -- sex parties Diddy allegedly ordered, videotaped and controlled. Diddy now faces federal charges that include sex trafficking. He has denied all wrongdoing and said all encounters were consensual. A new podcast from 20/20 and ABC Audio traces how whispers of abuse came to light and led to Diddy's downfall. ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmire takes listeners inside the rise and fall of Diddy, the allegations and his defense.
