On Monday, May 18th, 2026, two teen shooters entered the Islamic Center of San Diego and opened fire, according to authorities. It hasn’t been a week yet since suspects shot and killed two men there and then took their own lives. Investigators have discovered a manifesto they believe the shooters penned. Those indicate that the shooters were at least partly motivated by another shooter who made headlines. We’ll be taking a closer look at that case and its relationship to online culture – including glorification of mass shooters and more – in this episode with expert interviews. KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia, 1010 WINS in New York City, WBEN News and Talk in Buffalo, KNX News in Los Angeles and WWJ Newsradio in Detroit.
Crime and fame have an uncomfortable relationship. While the public wants and needs to know about crimes, the criminals themselves can actually chase the attention that comes committing a crime. Some crimes are so bizarre that its inevitable that they’ll become headline news. And sometimes, criminals are already famous by the time they go down a violent path. In all of these circumstances, increased attention can change the way criminal investigations play out. This week, we'll look at the how fame and infamy played a part in the and recent San Diego mosque shooting, the Luigi Mangione case and the OJ Simpson trial. Featuring audio from KYW Newsradio in Philadelphia, 1010 WINS in New York City, WBEN News and Talk in Buffalo, KNX News in Los Angeles, The Dave Glover Show out of KMOX in St. Louis, Jason DeRusha and Chad Hartman out of WCCO News Talk in the Twin Cities and the Dana & Parks Show out of KMBZ in Kansas City.

Around a month ago, I wrote about the case of a missing scientist in New Mexico. This week that case, and other similar cases have been making headlines. At least scientists who two lawmakers say are connected to U.S. nuclear secrets or rocket technology have either died or disappeared. There are reasons why people believe these cases might be linked, and we’ll get into those. However, we’ll also hear from an expert about why we shouldn’t jump to conclusions or get lost in conspiracy theories. But we’re actually starting this episode in Los Angeles, where Audacy station KNX News has been covering one particular murder case for months. It began with the report of human remains found in a Tesla last September.

This week, we’re focusing on the murders of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner last Sunday in their Brentwood home. Their son, 32-year-old Nick Reiner, has been arrested for the slayings. This case is still developing, but it has brought questions and concerns about what exactly happened and what, if anything, could have been done to prevent it.

This week, we’re talking about evidence. Fingerprints, Ring doorbell camera footage, witness testimony, DNA, all those clues that eventually lead investigators to perpetrators – and alleged perpetrators of crimes. Finding the evidence and using it to piece together how crimes were committed is complicated in and of itself. Things get even more complicated in the courtroom, where prosecutors, defense attorneys, judges and jurors pore over it. And administrative issues like DNA testing backlogs can snarl the process. We’ll cover several cases today where we can see how evidence, or the lack of evidence, has played a role in the search for justice. We’ll also focus on one type of evidence in particular -- DNA evidence – and efforts to improve how it’s collected and how it’s tested.
This week, we’re covering stories that touch on red flags of abuse that are overlooked. In one case, alleged warning signs may have been glossed over due to a family connection. In another, a faith community reportedly allowed a system of abuse to go unchecked.

This week, we’re taking a look at cases that bring up questions about the signs leading up to crimes. Are there ways for us to predict when a perpetrator will strike, ways to prevent crimes from happening? Are we doing enough to make sure perpetrators won’t strike again? You’ll hear from KNX News’ the LA Local podcast about the man arrested for starting the massive Pacific Palisades Fire that claimed 12 lives while also ruining homes, businesses and more.

No one wants to believe a mother could actually kill her own son; holding a belt tight around his neck and squeezing until he took his last breath. No, an act this disturbing would defy comprehension, go against every innate parental instinct to protect, care for, and love your child. According to prosecutors, the evidence was conclusive: a suburban Philadelphia mom knowingly and purposefully strangled her 11-year old in an act of retribution. She wanted to get back at her husband for letting her down. Could this really be true? Was Ruth DiRienzo-Whitehead the monster Montgomery District Attorneys made her out to be? Or, did she snap? Did the pressures in her life become too much to bear?

She was described as a loving, doting mother. From the outside, Ruth DiRienzo-Whitehead checked all the right boxes - the suburban mom who would go above and beyond for her only child, including sending him to an elite, pricey private school. From within, the pressure was mounting. Money problems, having to care for an elderly parent with dementia, maintaining a lifestyle beyond her family’s means - all of these factors pushed DiRienzo-Whitehead to the brink, and in April 2023, she did the unthinkable. She murdered her 11-year old son. Did DiRienzo-Whitehead suffer a psychotic break? Did she snap? Or, was the 51-year old Horsham resident out for revenge? Was the killing deliberate, as a way to get back at her husband?
