Hi, crime junkies. I'm your host, Ashley Flowers, and I'm Britt, and I have a truly baffling mystery for you today. And everything in this mystery centers around one night on a quiet cul-de-sac in Ohio on July 13, 2024. What starts out as a group of friends at a small party ends in the death of an 18-year-old, but no one knows who hurt him or where or even how he was injured. Not anyone at the party, not anyone in the neighborhood, or at least, that's what everyone says. So we started talking to people, family, police, neighbors, and the strange things we found will leave you not knowing what to believe. This is the story of Christian Allson. It's a little after 3 a.m. on July 13, 2024, when Chris Allson Jr. gets a call about his 18-year-old brother Christian. He'd been at a party that night with some of his teenage friends, and these friends say that he is now wasted, and they don't know what they should do with him. So Chris is like, "Okay, just bring him home." Now, it's a good hour before they pull up, even though the party was in Brunswick Hills, which is like a 20-minute drive away from Christian's house in Medina, Ohio. But around 4 a.m. a friend of Christian's name, Eric, pulls up in his car with Christian and two other friends in tow, Aiden and Braylon. Aiden stays in the car the whole time, but Braylon and Eric help Chris Jr. get Christian inside the house. And as his brother gets him upstairs, Christian is mumbling some stuff. It's like not 100% clear what he's saying, but what they can make out is him just saying "ow" over and over like he's in pain. And Eric is saying like he didn't know how Christian got this drunk, because he's like, "I drink more than he did." But he did say that he had been throwing up on the way back, which I mean, maybe that's why it took so long to get there. Doesn't matter to Chris or even Christian's sister, who's also awake, they're just like, "We gotta get him sobered up and preferably without waking up their parents amidst all the chaos." But that doesn't last long. Between getting him cleaned up and drinking some water, all the commotion wakes up Christian's mom and dad. Everyone's still there, even the friends, and they admit that he's drunk. But Christian's dad, who's Christopher Senior, he's looking at him and he's like, "Are we sure that that's the problem? Like, are we sure he's drunk?" He looks like he got beat up. I mean, he's like drooling some blood. He's asking for help. He's like, "In this state?" I know, but before mom and dad woke up, it was all kids basically trying to take care of the situation. And I don't think his siblings had any clue that something more serious was up. Especially because you've got Eric telling everyone that he's just wasted, like he was there. He even tells that to his parents after they get him in the bathroom where he's throwing up and in and out of consciousness. At one point, Chris Senior says that he noticed what looked like a shoe print on his son's face and a cut on his shoulder. But still, his friends are trying to assure them, "No, he's just drunk." So Christian's dad starts asking him over and over like, "What happened?" But Christian is still just mumbling, and the only thing they can really make out is him saying that he just needs to lay there. And at one point, he's able to say that he wants a coke, so they try to get him to drink some soda, seeing if that'll shake him out of this. But that doesn't work. And then suddenly, it looks like Christian just stops breathing.
Oh, I don't know what's wrong with my little brother. Okay, how old is he? He's 18. 18? Yes. Okay, he's breathing. No, I don't think so. He just passed out. He just burst the door and he cut it off. And he kept saying, "Please help me." And he started throwing up the line. And he started coming out of his nose. And then he just passed out. Christian's family performed CPR until the Medina police and paramedics arrived. Christian's still got a faint pull, so they rush him to the hospital where they try all of the life-saving measures they can. But it's not enough. By 556 in the morning, Christian is declared dead. And his family is just in shock and denial. I mean, it all happened so fast, they can't even wrap their heads around it. One minute, their son is leaving their house to hang out with friends, and now he's dead. And to add to their confusion, the coroner tells them that his death is suspicious. But that's all. They don't know anything else, not there in the hospital, and not for a while after, because police told the family that they
