In season 4 episode 6 of Dead Silent titled "Open 24 Hours", the show brings harrowing real-life stories of loss and tragedy. The episode opens with an interview of a young woman named Celia, who recounts the murder of her sister, who worked as a clerk at a 24/7 convenience store. Like any other day, her sister was working the overnight shift in a quiet town in Texas when a customer came in and ended up robbing and killing her. The customers and neighbors, who saw the killer leave the store without any resistance, notified the police. The police tried their best to find the killer and brought in their K-9 unit, but nothing seemed to work. The killer remained unidentified, and the town was full of terror. Despite the investigation, they were unable to catch the culprit, leaving the family, including Celia, heartbroken.

Next, the show shifts the focus to a young woman named Michelle Goldsmith who was working her evening shift at an all-night convenience store in rural Alabama. Michelle was working alone when a customer arrived at the store. The regular customer, David Mahler, would often visit the store and would chat with Michelle. However, on this particular day, David was acting bizarrely and was quite different from his usual self. As Michelle grew more and more uncomfortable with David's behavior, he suddenly pulled out a knife and declared that he was going to kill her.

Michelle tried her best to reason with David, but nothing worked. Her attempt to call for help was interrupted by David, as he sliced the phone cord in front of her eyes. As time passed, Michelle found herself in a terrifying position where she had to try to survive this horrific situation and stay alive. The show features interviews with Michelle and also with the police officers who came to the scene and arrested David. Viewers will witness Michelle's heart-wrenching ordeal and the desperate attempts she made to get out of that situation alive.

The episode then revisits a case from years ago, where a young woman named Shannon was working the night shift alone at a convenience store. Shannon never expected anything out of the ordinary to happen, just like any other day at work. But that particular night, a man entered the store and held her at gunpoint, just as she was about to close the shop for the day. The man, who was later identified as Jasper, tied Shannon up, and then brutally assaulted her.

Shannon was traumatized, and her family was devastated. However, with time, Shannon found the strength to speak about her experience, which helped in bringing Jasper to justice. The show features interviews with Shannon and her family, as well as with the police officers involved with the case.

Overall, season 4 episode 6 of Dead Silent is an emotional and gripping watch, which focuses on the vulnerability of people who work late-night shifts at convenience stores. This episode brings forward the chilling stories of those who have faced unimaginable danger while they were working alone at stores that are meant to be open 24 hours. The show highlights the bravery of the survivors who have come forward and shared their experiences, and also the tireless efforts of the police to bring the perpetrators to justice. It's a sobering reminder to be vigilant and aware of our surroundings, especially during the odd hours of the night.
