What happens when a suburban love affair turns deadly? When the prosecution's star witness is also negotiating a Netflix deal from her jail cell?On February 24, 2023, Christine Banfield, a beloved pediatric ICU nurse, was found dead in her Fairfax County, Virginia home. Also dead: Joseph Ryan, a man Christine had allegedly been communicating with online about violent fantasies. But prosecutors say Christine never sent those messages. They say her husband Brendan Banfield and their au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães were having an affair, and instead of getting a divorce, they hatched a plan to kill Christine and stage it as a home invasion gone wrong. In this episode, we break down the first four days of Brendan Banfield's murder trial, including Juliana's explosive testimony as the prosecution's star witness. We cover the fake online persona created to lure Joseph Ryan, the forensic evidence pointing to a staged crime scene, jailhouse love letters, and why Juliana is negotiating a Netflix deal while testifying.

In the summer of 1999, 17-year-olds J.B. Beasley and Tracie Hawlett took a wrong turn on their way to a party and ended up in Ozark, Alabama. After a frantic call to Tracie's mom from a gas station payphone, the two girls vanished. The next morning, their bodies were discovered in the trunk of J.B.'s car, each with a single gunshot wound to the head. The case went cold for nearly two decades until a breakthrough in genetic genealogy led investigators to a shocking suspect: a man who had been living a seemingly normal life in their own community.

Subscribe on youtube! In September 2007, four friends set out on a chartered fishing trip off the coast of Miami aboard the yacht Joe Cool. Captain Jake Branam, his wife Kelley, and crew members Scott Gamble and Samuel Kairy were excited for what should have been a routine day on the water.But they never came home. What the crew didn't know was that three men—Kirby Archer, Guillermo Zarabozo, and Carlos—had hatched a desperate plan to steal a boat and flee to Cuba. They boarded the Joe Cool under the guise of a fishing charter, but their real intention was far more sinister. When the Coast Guard found Kirby and Guillermo adrift in a life raft days later, they spun a wild story about being attacked by armed men. But investigators quickly unraveled their lies. The four crew members had been murdered and thrown overboard. Their bodies were never recovered. This is the story of the Joe Cool murders—a case of greed, desperation, and cold-blooded murder on the high seas. We're revisiting this Florida Files case with updated details and a deeper look at what happened that tragic day. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

Andreen McDonald was a Jamaican immigrant who built a multi-million dollar assisted living business by age 22. She was a fitness champion and devoted mother living in San Antonio with her husband, Air Force Major Andre McDonald. From the outside, they were a Texas power couple.

She didn't show up for her 5 AM workout or arrive at work—completely out of character. As friends and family grew frantic, the couple's young, autistic daughter told investigators: "Daddy hurt Mommy." What followed was a massive search, a gruesome discovery, and a trial that exposed the dark secrets of a seemingly perfect marriage.

In 1995, the brutal murder of Memphis socialite and philanthropist Emily Fisher shattered the city's illusion of high-society tranquility. Stabbed over 50 times in her historic home, the investigation peeled back the layers of a picture-perfect family to reveal a dark world of secrets, lies, and a son's crippling drug addiction.  This week, we unravel the tragic story of the Fisher family, a case that took nearly two decades to solve and left a trail of devastation in its wake, including the death of Emily's own son. This is a southern gothic tale of how privilege and wealth are no match for the destructive power of addiction.

*Subscribe to our youtube!* For decades, desperate parents have sent their struggling teens to residential treatment programs that promise to help them overcome everything from behavioral issues to substance abuse. But for many, these programs deliver years of trauma and abuse, rebranded as discipline and growth. This week, we are pulling back the curtain on the billion-dollar Troubled Teen Industry. What happens when a parent’s last resort becomes a child’s worst nightmare? We explore the slick marketing and manipulative tactics used by these facilities to lure in terrified families, and the shocking reality of what goes on behind closed doors. From isolation and psychological abuse to a system where compliance is mistaken for healing, we uncover the repeatable, cult-like model that defines many of these programs. We also discuss the tragic case of Taylor Goodridge, a 17-year-old who died at a Utah facility just days after her arrival, and the fight for justice and regulation that continues today, championed by survivors like Paris Hilton. This is a look into an industry that operates in the shadows, and the fight to bring it into the light. Thank you to this week's sponsors! Start the new year off on a great foot with your kids!

Because the rest of the world is not ready for this story. In this episode, we break down a Craigslist job offer that absolutely should not exist, a man named Phil who is deeply committed to Bassnectar, a woman named Carolyn who deserved hazard pay just for walking through the door, a safe word that is somehow “Connecticut,” and a toe-removal attempt set up with the precision of a DIY disaster. It is a story that is somehow both deranged and oddly sincere, which is to say: perfectly Florida. And since we were born and raised in the Sunshine State, we feel uniquely qualified to bring you these stories. All month long we’re recapping episodes of It’s Florida, Man over on our bonus feed as part of Florida Women Bonus Month. Thanks for listening, and remember: if a man asks you to bring a witness to a toe-removal appointment, perhaps reconsider your life choices.

This week, we are revisiting our most downloaded episode of the year: the heartbreaking case of Lauren Burk. In March 2008, the brutal murder of this 18-year-old Auburn University student shattered a community and left a family searching for answers in a case that is as tragic as it is controversial. Lauren was a bright, promising freshman who was abducted at gunpoint from her campus, robbed, and shot before she bravely jumped from a moving car in a desperate attempt to save her life. Her story is one of unimaginable terror, but also of incredible courage in her final moments.  The investigation led police to Courtney Lockhart, an Iraq War veteran whose life had taken a dark turn after returning home. His confession painted a disturbing picture of a man pushed to the edge, but was it the full story? We dive into the complexities of the case, from the initial crime to the controversial trial that followed, where a judge overrode a unanimous jury recommendation for life in prison and sentenced Lockhart to death. Join us as we take a second look at the case that resonated so deeply with our listeners. We explore the devastating impact of Lauren’s murder, the questions surrounding her killer's mental state, and the unique legal proceedings that still spark debate today.

In 1908 Glasgow, 82-year-old Marion Gilchrist was brutally murdered in her home during a ten-minute window while her maid was out. There was no forced entry, and the only thing missing was a single diamond brooch. The police quickly zeroed in on Oscar Slater, a German-Jewish immigrant with a gambling habit, and built a case around him with flimsy evidence and coached witnesses. Despite a weak case, Slater was convicted and sentenced to death, a sentence later commuted to life in prison. After a nearly 20-year fight for justice, championed by Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Slater was finally exonerated. But the question remains: if Slater didn't do it, who did?

We cover the verdicts, the sentences, and the downfall of the man who called himself “Vanguard.” But what happens after the headlines fade? To discuss the case’s complex legacy, we are joined by a special guest: Natalie, the host of the popular podcast “Allison After NXIVM.” She shares her unique insights into the story, the people involved, and the long road to recovery for those who lived through it.

*Part 2 is out on Thursday, December 18th* Imagine thinking you signed up for a self-improvement course, only to wake up inside a secret hierarchy where starvation, blackmail, and branding were sold as empowerment. This is the story of NXIVM, the so-called leadership program that unraveled into one of the most disturbing criminal enterprises in modern history. In Part 1, we pull back the curtain on how Keith Raniere, a man who called himself "Vanguard," and his partner Nancy Salzman built a multi-million dollar empire on the promise of human potential. We explore the early days of their Executive Success Programs (ESP), the manipulative techniques used to lure in thousands of followers—including celebrities and business leaders—and the slow, deliberate process of indoctrination. How did a group that started with corporate retreats and PowerPoint presentations devolve into a destructive cult? We trace the origins of the abuse, the creation of a master-slave sorority, and the psychological tactics that kept its members loyal, even as the darkness closed in. #truecrime #truecrimepodcast #momsandmysteries #nxivm #keithraniere #cult #nancysalzman #selfhelp #esp #vanguard New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday !Follow us on Instagram: @momsandmysteries Join our Patreon: patreon.com/momsandmysteries Visit our website: momsandmysteries.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1931 Liverpool, a bizarre phone call sent William Herbert Wallace on a wild goose chase across the city. The caller, a man named "Qualtrough," had left a message for him at his chess club, asking him to meet at a non-existent address. When William returned home, he found his wife, Julia, brutally murdered in their parlor. The house was locked, there were no signs of forced entry, and the timeline seemed impossibly tight. Police immediately suspected William, believing the phone call was a ruse to create a fake alibi. He was quickly arrested, tried, and convicted, only to have the verdict overturned in an unprecedented move by the Court of Criminal Appeal. For nearly a century, the case has remained one of Britain's greatest unsolved mysteries. Was William a cunning killer who almost got away with it, or an innocent man framed by a phantom?

In 1998, a polite and oddly courteous criminal known as "Roofman" began a crime spree across nine states, targeting mostly McDonald's restaurants. Jeffrey Manchester, a former Army paratrooper, would cut holes in the roofs of buildings, wait for employees to arrive, and then rob them at gunpoint—after politely telling them to grab a jacket before locking them in the freezer. After being caught and sentenced to 45 years, he escaped prison by hiding under a truck.For six months, he lived inside the walls of a Toys "R" Us in Charlotte, North Carolina, surviving on baby food and entertaining himself with remote-controlled cars. He even started a new life, complete with a girlfriend and a church community who knew him as "John Zorn." This is the unbelievable true story of the criminal who turned a toy store into his personal hideout and the bizarre double life he led before his final capture.

In September 1999, 17-year-old Nicole Sanchez was a talented singer with a contagious laugh and big dreams of becoming a veterinary assistant. But her life was brutally cut short by her 23-year-old boyfriend, Lionel Villarreal, in a horrifying act of intimate partner violence. After just four months of dating, Nicole had decided to end the controlling relationship. That weekend, she was shot and killed. Lionel claimed it was a suicide, but the evidence told a different story. The single gunshot wound was a deliberate, humiliating act of aggression. He was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to what the court called "life," but in Michigan, that could mean parole in just 20 years. For over two decades, Nicole's family has lived with the devastating loss, while her killer has been planning his future. This is the story of a vibrant young life stolen too soon and the relentless fight her sister has waged to keep a dangerous man behind bars and to ensure that Nicole's story is never forgotten.

On Thanksgiving Day 2018, 29-year-old mother Kelsey Berreth vanished from her Woodland Park, Colorado home, leaving behind her 1-year-old daughter and a batch of unbaked cinnamon rolls. The last trace of her was a bizarre series of texts and a phone pinging 800 miles away in Idaho. Her fiancé, Patrick Frazee, claimed they had broken up and that she had left voluntarily. But Kelsey's family knew the devoted mother would never abandon her child. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a story far more sinister than a simple disappearance. The investigation led them to Krystal Lee Kenney, a nurse from Idaho with a secret, decade-long relationship with Patrick. Her chilling confession revealed a gruesome murder plot, a brutal crime scene cleanup, and a calculated cover-up. Patrick had bludgeoned Kelsey to death with a baseball bat while their infant daughter was in the next room, all because she refused to give him full custody. This is the story of a holiday turned horrific, a secret affair that ended in murder, and the relentless pursuit of justice for Kelsey.New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

When Nikki Cheng Saelee McCain vanished in May 2024, her family was devastated. Nikki was born in a refugee camp in Southeast Asia and came to the United States with her family, settling in Seattle.

In 1969, Jane Louise Mixer, a 23-year-old law student at the University of Michigan, was trying to catch a ride home to tell her parents she was engaged to her boyfriend Phil. Jane was an exceptional student—top 10% of her high school class, honor student, debate team member, cheerleader, and voted "best all around girl." She graduated from the University of Michigan in 1968 and enrolled in law school, where she was one of the only female students in the entire program. But Jane never made it home that day. She was found shot and strangled in a cemetery, her belongings eerily arranged beside her.For over 30 years, Jane's case sat frozen in time. Many believed John Norman Collins, a serial killer convicted of murdering another Michigan student, was responsible.But in 2001, DNA testing pointed to a different man: Gary Leiterman, a 62-year-old former nurse.In 2005, Gary was convicted of Jane's murder based on DNA evidence, handwriting analysis, and the fact that he owned a .22 caliber gun. But the conviction was highly controversial. Three scientists later argued that the DNA evidence was likely the result of lab contamination. Gary maintained his innocence until his death in prison on July 4, 2019, at age 76. Was Gary Leiterman truly guilty? Or was Jane Mixer's real killer never caught?

In July 1988, Lieth Von Stein was brutally murdered in his Washington, North Carolina home while his wife Bonnie barely survived the attack. The crime scene looked like a burglary gone wrong—but investigators quickly realized something didn't add up. The house was barely disturbed, nothing of value was taken, and the violence was shockingly personal. As detectives dug deeper, they uncovered a conspiracy that seemed ripped from a fantasy game. Lieth's stepson Chris and his college friends had been playing Dungeons & Dragons obsessively, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. The motive? A $2 million inheritance. The plan? Orchestrated by college kids who thought they could get away with murder.This case explores how greed, entitlement, and obsession led to one of North Carolina's most shocking family murders. From the brutal attack to the investigation that exposed a twisted plot, this is the story of when fantasy became fatal reality. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

Some crimes are violent, some are tragic, and some are just so absurd that they make you lose a little faith in humanity. Today we're diving into lawsuits so wild, so petty, and so downright unbelievable, you'll think we made them up. First up: the Wendy's finger fraud. In March 2005, Anna Ayala claimed she found a human finger in her chili. The story made national headlines, Wendy's stock plummeted, and America lost its appetite for fast food. But the finger was planted—Anna thought she could outsmart the legal system and sue for millions. She was wrong. We also cover the man who sued himself, the guy who demanded $67 million from a laundromat over a lost pair of pants, and more cases that prove greed and audacity know no bounds.

We are revisiting one of the most brutal and complex crimes we have ever covered: The Pike County Massacre, also known as the Rhoden Family Murders. Six years ago, we first discussed the shocking event where eight members of the Rhoden family—four adults, three young men, and a teenage boy—were executed at four different homes in rural Ohio on the same night. At the time of our original episode in 2019, the Wagner family had just been arrested. Now, years later, the trials and sentencing of the four members of the Wagner family are complete, and we are bringing you a comprehensive update on the fate of George Wagner IV, Jake Wagner, Angela Wagner, and Billy Wagner. In this update, we detail the chilling motive that led to the execution-style murders: Custody and Obsession: The motive was centered on a heated custody battle over a young child shared by killer Jake Wagner and victim Hanna May Rhoden. The Plea Deals: We discuss the shocking plea deal struck by Jake Wagner, who pled guilty to all eight murders to spare his mother and father from the death penalty. The Sentences: We cover the emotional and tense courtroom proceedings that led to the sentences for all four family members, including the life without parole sentences handed down. The Unanswered Questions: While justice has been served in the eyes of the law, we still explore the lingering questions surrounding the planning, the execution, and the sheer ruthlessness required to wipe out an entire family. Join us as we close the chapter on this dark episode in Ohio's history, examining the convictions, the sentences, and the final search for peace for the surviving Rhoden family members.

Thabo Bester, known as South Africa's "Facebook Rapist," was serving a life sentence when he allegedly died in a prison fire in 2022. But months later, he was discovered alive and living under a new identity—with the help of a celebrity doctor. This audacious prison escape exposed massive corruption within South Africa's correctional system and raised disturbing questions about who else helped him disappear. When a convicted killer "dies" in prison, someone should probably check the body. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

The official story was that convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester died in a South African prison fire on May 3, 2022, but the truth was far more shocking: he had faked his own death with a stolen corpse and easily walked out of a maximum security prison. Known as "The Facebook Rapist" for luring women with fake international modeling opportunities, Bester was serving a 30-year sentence for the rape and robbery of two women and the murder of his girlfriend, Nomfundo Tyhulu, in 2011. In this episode, we unravel the chaotic details of his escape and his life on the run: The Fake Death: An investigation into the cell fire and the burned remains raised immediate suspicion. The body used to stage his death was later confirmed to have died before the fire from blunt force trauma to the head, and DNA did not match Bester . The Accomplice: Dr. Nandipha Magudumana (Dr. Nandi): Celebrity physician Dr. Nandi, who claimed to be Bester's customary law wife, was his essential partner in crime. She initially collected the body and was later spotted shopping with Bester, aiding his life as a fugitive. She is a glamorous doctor who had it all, but chose a criminal life as a "cold-blooded accomplice". Life as a Fugitive: Before his escape was confirmed, Bester was running multiple scam companies from prison. After walking out, he continued his fraudulent schemes with Dr. Nandi, meeting clients and living in a rented mansion until their arrest in Tanzania in April 2023. This incredible true crime saga is also the subject of the Netflix docuseries, Beauty and the Bester. Thank you to this week's sponsors! Take care of your liver with Dose!

The murder of Florida State University law professor Dan Markel in 2014 seemed like a random act of violence—until investigators uncovered a murder-for-hire plot allegedly orchestrated by his ex-wife's wealthy family. In Part 2, we dive deeper into the Adelson family's alleged involvement, the trials, and the shocking revelations that continue to emerge years later. This case has everything: family drama, hitmen, and a justice system struggling to hold the powerful accountable. When divorce turns deadly, who pays the price?

In the gripping second part of the Daniel Markel case we delve deeper into the intricate web of deceit surrounding the murder-for-hire plot. This episode focuses on the trials of the two masterminds behind the shocking crime: Charlie and Donna Adelson. Charlie Adelson's Trial: The episode begins with the conviction of Charlie Adelson. The state's case was built on compelling evidence, including audio recordings from a Miami restaurant where Charlie discussed killing a blackmailer or a police officer. The money trail connecting the Adelson family's dental practice to Katie Magbanua, the ex-girlfriend of the hitman, also played a crucial role. Charlie took the stand in his own defense, claiming he was being extorted by the hitmen. This defense was ultimately not believed by the jury, leading to his conviction for first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Donna Adelson's Arrest and Trial: Just seven days after her son's conviction, the matriarch, Donna Adelson, was arrested at Miami International Airport as she and her husband, Harvey, were attempting to flee to Vietnam, a non-extradition country. Key evidence against her included monitored phone calls where she discussed fleeing the country and a recording where she was overheard mulling over extradition policies and reading text messages from her daughter, Wendi. During her trial, testimony from her fellow inmates revealed her attempts to orchestrate false testimony and her admission of her role in the murder. The verdict was unforgettable, as Donna gasped dramatically when she was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation, becoming the fifth person convicted in Dan's murder. The Family's Web of Lies: The podcast also uncovers new details about the involvement of other family members. Wendi Adelson, Dan's ex-wife, testified under immunity but was confronted with her past inconsistencies about her knowledge of the murder plot. It was also revealed that Donna and Wendi had a deep knowledge of Dan's daily routine, and Wendi's ex-boyfriend testified that she once mentioned Charlie looking into a hitman for $15,000. Legacy and Justice: The episode concludes with the powerful impact of the case on Dan Markel's parents, Ruth and Phil Markel. Their advocacy led to a new law and a long-awaited reunion with their grandsons. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

In this episode, we delve into the shocking murder of Harvard-educated law professor Dan Markel. His life was cut short in a targeted hit that investigators believe was a murder-for-hire plot. This is more than just a true crime drama; it's a story of a devoted father and brilliant legal scholar caught in a bitter family feud that spiraled into something unthinkable. Dan's divorce from his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, became an all-out war over the custody of their two young sons and relocation to South Florida. You'll hear about the powerful and controlling Adelson family, specifically Wendy's parents, Donna and Harvey, and her brother, Charlie, who had an "obsession" with their hatred of Dan. As the story unfolds, you'll discover disturbing emails from Donna Adelson detailing a plan to manipulate Dan, including using his Jewish faith against him, and even joking about dressing the children in Hitler Youth uniforms. The police investigation quickly turned to the Adelson family after Wendy made some unusual comments and her boyfriend, Jeff Lacasse, urged them to look into her family. The timing of the murder, which took place just after a hearing on family control was set, was not lost on investigators, who saw a clear motive for murder. After his death, Wendy quickly moved their children to Miami and cut off contact with Dan's parents. Join us for Part 1 of this unbelievable case as we explore the chilling details that lead to the death of Dan Markel.

The Boston Public Library's "Lost" Art: We dive into the bizarre case of two priceless artworks—an Albrecht Dürer engraving and a Rembrandt van Rijn etching—that went missing from one of the country's most prestigious libraries. The disappearance caused a media uproar and led to the resignation of the library's president . But in a twist, the art was never stolen; it was just in the wrong spot for an entire year. The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: We explore the story of John Charles Gilkey, a man driven by intellectual vanity who used stolen credit card numbers to amass a collection of rare books worth over $200,000. Gilkey wasn't in it for the money; he simply wanted to appear to be a sophisticated intellectual .

What happens when a thief isn't after cash, but the priceless cultural history locked away in our most secure institutions? This week, we dive into the world of intellectual crimes—a string of baffling thefts motivated by obsession, vanity, and a desire to possess the truly irreplaceable. Think less Ocean's 11, more "misplaced library card energy." We cover four bizarre cases that expose the shocking vulnerabilities of libraries, museums, and private collections: a $630,000 "oops" at the Boston Public Library where priceless works were simply misfiled, a man with biblio-kleptomania who stole $200,000 worth of rare books to appear refined, a trusted map dealer who surgically sliced 97 rare maps worth $3 million from Yale and the British Library, and the ultimate obsession—a young musician who stole rare bird feathers from a museum to fuel his passion for Victorian salmon fly tying. Plus, stick around for the return of The Last Thing Before We Go: Art Edition, where we react to some of the weirdest and most unsettling paintings found on the internet.

The Power of Confessions According to the Innocence Project, nearly 30% of wrongful convictions overturned by DNA evidence involved false confessions. This number is even more alarming for juveniles, as 69% of those aged 12 to 15 who were falsely convicted had made a false confession. Research shows that jurors convict people who have confessed more than 70% of the time, even if the confession is proven false. Case 1: Robert Durst Robert Durst, heir to a New York real estate fortune, was suspected in three suspicious deaths: his wife Kathie Durst, his best friend Susan Berman, and his neighbor Morris Black. He became the subject of the HBO documentary series, The Jinx. In a stunning turn of events, a hot mic captured Durst muttering, "What the heck did I do? Killing them all, of course," which became an infamous confession. He was arrested the night before the finale of the series aired and was later convicted of first-degree murder for Susan Berman's death. Case 2: Henry Lee Lucas Known as the "Confession Killer," Henry Lee Lucas confessed to hundreds of murders he didn't commit. After being arrested for illegal firearm possession, he began confessing to dozens, and then hundreds, of unsolved murders across the country. Law enforcement created the "Lucas Task Force" and closed more than 200 cold cases based on his confessions. However, a journalist later exposed that Lucas couldn't have committed many of the crimes due to conflicting timelines. The false confessions misled families who were desperately seeking closure, and the real killers remained free. Case 3: Laverne Pavlinac Laverne Pavlinac fabricated a story and confessed to a murder she didn't commit to frame her abusive boyfriend, John. She hoped it would send him to prison and free her from their volatile relationship. Despite John denying any involvement, Laverne's detailed confession led to both of them being convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. While they were in jail, the real killer, Keith Hunter Jesperson, later known as the Happy Face Killer, continued his killing spree. Case 4: Earl Valentine After shooting his ex-wife Keisha and their son Earl Jr., Earl Valentine went live on Facebook to confess to the crime. He stated, "I just killed my wife. I don't feel any remorse for what I did". This real-time confession went viral before being removed, raising urgent questions about technology and domestic violence. Keisha survived, but their son Earl Jr. died from his injuries after calling 911. Case 5: Mark "Chopper" Read Mark "Chopper" Read was a notorious Australian gangster, author, and comedian who was never convicted of murder. However, just 16 days before his death from liver cancer, he gave a final interview and confessed to killing four men. Despite his history of exaggeration, police reviewed his claims. To this day, questions remain about the sincerity of his deathbed confession, with many believing it was his last act of showmanship. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why would an innocent person confess to a crime they didn't commit? The answer is more complex—and more common—than you might think. Through five shocking cases, we explore the psychological tactics used during interrogations, the vulnerabilities that lead to false confessions, and the devastating consequences for those wrongfully convicted. This episode is a sobering look at how the justice system can fail even when someone "admits" guilt. Confessing doesn't always mean guilty. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

This week we're bringing you a replay of a case that is one of the wildest—and most unsettling—stories we've ever covered. Back in 2005, headlines dubbed him the Body Snatcher of New York. Dr. Michael Mastromarino was a once-promising dentist who built a shady side business harvesting human tissue and bones without consent. What started as a booming "medical" enterprise unraveled into a shocking scandal that left thousands of families devastated, raised questions about the tissue donation industry, and earned Mastromarino a spot in true crime infamy.

In 2015, a group of elderly criminals—average age 63—pulled off one of the biggest jewelry heists in British history, stealing an estimated £14 million from the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company. Using old-school tactics and decades of criminal experience, these "bad grandpas" drilled through a concrete wall and made off with millions. But age didn't make them smarter—and their downfall was as spectacular as their crime. Never underestimate a senior citizen with a drill and a dream. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

This week, we're taking you to London for one of the wildest burglaries in history — the Hatton Garden Heist. Over Easter weekend in 2015, millions in gold, diamonds, and cash vanished from a high-security vault in the heart of the UK's jewelry district. But the biggest twist? The masterminds weren't slick young criminals — they were men in their 60s and 70s, later nicknamed "The Bad Grandpas." We'll walk you through how they planned it, how they pulled it off, and how their old-school habits and egos brought it all crashing down. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

In 1954, Dr. Sam Sheppard's pregnant wife Marilyn was brutally murdered in their Ohio home. Sheppard claimed a "bushy-haired intruder" attacked them both, but prosecutors believed he was the killer. The sensational trial became a media circus, inspired the TV show "The Fugitive," and raised serious questions about how media coverage can influence justice.

This week, we're heading back to the early 1900s to meet Belle Gunness—a seemingly respectable Indiana widow with a dark side and a very well-fed hog pen.

Belle Gunness was a Norwegian immigrant who turned her Indiana farm into a graveyard. Between 1884 and 1908, she lured dozens of suitors through "lonely hearts" advertisements, promising marriage and a life on her prosperous farm. Instead, her victims found death—poisoned, bludgeoned, or dismembered—and buried in her hog pen. When her farmhouse mysteriously burned down in 1908, investigators discovered the remains of at least 40 victims. But Belle's body was never positively identified, leading many to believe she escaped and lived out her days under a new identity. America's first female serial killer may have gotten away with murder. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

In 1980s Los Angeles, a group of wealthy young men formed an exclusive investment club that promised to make them all millionaires. Led by the charismatic Joe Hunt, the Billionaire Boys Club quickly devolved from a get-rich-quick scheme into something far more sinister. When their Ponzi scheme began to collapse, Hunt convinced his followers that murder was the solution. The club's victims included a con man who had swindled them and Hunt's own former business partner. This case exposed the dark side of 1980s excess, privilege, and the dangerous cult of personality that can form around a manipulative leader. When greed meets sociopathy, everyone pays the price.

In the 1980s, a group of wealthy young men calling themselves the Billionaire Boys Club set out to make millions under the leadership of charismatic con man Joe Hunt. What started as a flashy business-meets-brotherhood venture quickly spiraled into a Ponzi scheme, manipulation, and two brutal murders — one of a fellow scam artist, and another of a wealthy father kidnapped for ransom.

In this episode of Moms and Mysteries, we're diving into the outrageous life and legendary lies of Charles Ponzi, the man whose name is now forever linked to financial fraud.

Before Bernie Madoff, before cryptocurrency scams, there was Charles Ponzi—the man who gave his name to one of history's most infamous fraud schemes. In 1920, the Italian immigrant promised investors a 50% return in just 45 days through an elaborate international postal reply coupon scheme. Thousands of people, from working-class immigrants to wealthy Bostonians, handed over their life savings. At its peak, Ponzi was making millions—but the whole operation was built on nothing but lies. When it all came crashing down, investors lost an estimated $20 million (over $250 million today), and Ponzi's name became synonymous with financial fraud. The man, the myth, the scheme that changed fraud forever. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

In 1998, 14-year-old Michael Politte woke up to find his Missouri home engulfed in flames and his mother dead inside. Within hours, investigators decided Michael was the killer, despite a complete lack of physical evidence and a motive that made no sense. He was convicted based on questionable fire science, coerced statements, and a rush to judgment that ignored other suspects. Michael spent 23 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit before new evidence and advocacy efforts finally led to his release in 2021. This case exposes the dangers of tunnel vision in investigations and the devastating consequences of wrongful convictions. When a teenager becomes the prime suspect, who's asking the hard questions?

At 19 years old, Colton Harris-Moore became one of America's most wanted fugitives—and a folk hero to some. Dubbed the "Barefoot Bandit" because he often committed crimes without shoes, Colton stole cars, boats, and even airplanes during a two-year crime spree across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Despite having no formal flight training, he taught himself to fly by reading manuals and playing video games, then stole multiple aircraft and flew them across state lines. His audacity and ability to evade capture captivated the public and spawned a cult following on social media. But when he was finally caught in the Bahamas in 2010, the reality of his crimes caught up with the legend. The Crossover: This week, we're joined by Patia and Hannah from The Knife podcast for a special crossover episode! After we tell the story of the Barefoot Bandit, they take over with their own compelling case. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

This week we've teamed up with our true crime friends from The Knife, journalist-producers Hannah Smith and Patia Eaton, for a one-of-a-kind episode where we each brought a story to the table. First, Melissa and Mandy tell the bizarre and unforgettable tale of Colton Harris-Moore, better known as the Barefoot Bandit. He was a lanky teen from a small island town who went on the run, stealing cars and planes while dodging authorities for years. His story captured the internet's imagination, but behind the memes was a kid failed by the very systems meant to protect him. Next, Hannah and Patia dive into the heartbreaking and impactful case of Sally Challen, a woman convicted of murdering her husband in 2010. What seemed at first like a shocking and senseless crime was eventually reexamined through a modern understanding of coercive control and domestic abuse. The result: a rare and powerful legal reversal years later. This episode explores two lives shaped by control, survival, and the long shadow of trauma. It's a compelling look at how the ripple effects of crime stretch far beyond the headlines. Listen and subscribe to The Knife wherever you get your podcasts!

In 1990, two of America's most prominent televangelists became targets of a mysterious mail bombing campaign. John Osteen of Lakewood Church in Houston and Pat Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network both received explosive devices in the mail—bombs sophisticated enough to kill, but intercepted before they could detonate. Despite an extensive FBI investigation, the bomber was never caught, and the case remains unsolved to this day. We explore the rise of televangelism in the 1980s and 90s, the attacks that nearly claimed lives, the FBI's investigation, and the internet's favorite theories about who was really behind it all.

Lake Lanier, Georgia's largest lake, is one of the deadliest bodies of water in America—with over 700 deaths since its creation in 1956. But the lake's dark history goes deeper than tragic accidents. Built by flooding entire communities, including a predominantly Black town that was never properly evacuated, Lake Lanier sits atop homes, churches, and even cemeteries. Locals believe the lake is cursed, haunted by the spirits of those whose graves were disturbed. We explore the eerie history of Lake Lanier, the mysterious deaths and disappearances that continue to this day, and the folklore that has made it one of America's most haunted places. Some waters are better left undisturbed. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

Beneath the waters of Lake Lanier in Georgia lies something far more haunting than fish and tree stumps. We're talking entire towns, graveyards that were never fully relocated, and a history soaked in tragedy. Before it was a popular summer destination, Lake Lanier was the site of a federal project that displaced hundreds of families—many of them Black landowners—uprooted cemeteries, and submerged an entire community under 56,000 acres of water. This week, Mandy and Melissa explore the dark past and chilling present of one of the most infamous lakes in the United States. From ghost stories and urban legends to real-life drownings and disappearances, the lake has earned its deadly reputation. Whether it's unexplained boating accidents, tales of invisible hands pulling swimmers under, or the eerie story of the Lady of the Lake, Lake Lanier continues to make headlines nearly 70 years after it was created.

It was just before sunrise on a quiet September morning in Phoenix City, Alabama, when 30-year-old Eric Nealms stepped outside, heading to work like he did every morning. But someone was already waiting. Within moments of leaving his home, Eric was shot multiple times in his own driveway and left to die. A witness saw a light-skinned man wearing dark clothing running from the scene immediately after the shots were fired.Eric was a kind, funny, and supportive man who was devoted to his family. Born in Columbus, Georgia, he was deeply loved and is still desperately missed. Despite the witness account, multiple leads, and a $15,000 reward, the investigation has stalled. Eric's family has fought tirelessly to keep his name in the public eye, begging for someone to come forward and bring them closure. They believe Eric made one mistake, but he did not deserve to be taken from them. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

The brutal crime devastated the Grammer family and had a profound impact on Kelsey's life and career.

In 2010, Dr. Amy Bishop, a Harvard-educated neuroscientist, opened fire during a faculty meeting at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, killing three colleagues and wounding three others. The shooting shocked the academic world, but the investigation revealed an even more disturbing truth: this wasn't Amy's first violent crime. In 1986, she had shot and killed her own brother in Massachusetts—a death that was ruled an accident at the time. We explore Amy's troubled history, the warning signs that were ignored, and the systemic failures that allowed a killer to hide in plain sight for decades.

On Mother's Day 2020, Suzanne Morphew went for a bike ride near her Colorado home and never returned. Her husband Barry reported her missing, launching a massive search of the Rocky Mountain wilderness. But as investigators dug deeper, the case took a dark turn. Evidence of an affair, suspicious financial transactions, and Barry's own behavior made him the prime suspect. In 2021, Barry was arrested and charged with Suzanne's murder—despite her body never being found. The case was later dismissed due to prosecutorial issues, leaving Suzanne's family without answers and Barry walking free. This Colorado mystery continues to haunt those seeking justice for Suzanne. A Mother's Day bike ride. A missing woman. A husband under suspicion. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

In conjunction with our new episode on Chris Tapp's tragic death, we're re-releasing our original episode about Angie Dodge's heartbreaking murder. In this episode, we dive into the details of Angie's unsolved murder in Idaho and the tireless fight her mother, Carol Dodge, waged for justice—not only for Angie but also for Chris Tapp, who was wrongfully convicted of her death. This is the first part of the story, and we encourage you to listen to both episodes as we follow the twists and turns that eventually led to Chris's exoneration and, tragically, his untimely death. Both episodes are essential to understanding this complex case and the ongoing search for justice. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In 1996, 18-year-old Angie Dodge was raped and murdered in her Idaho Falls apartment. Police quickly arrested Christopher Tapp, who confessed after hours of coercive interrogation—but the evidence didn't match. Tapp spent 20 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, while Angie's mother Carol Dodge fought tirelessly to prove his innocence and find her daughter's real killer. Through DNA testing and relentless advocacy, Carol helped exonerate Tapp in 2019 and identify the actual murderer, Brian Dripps. This heartbreaking case shows the power of a mother's love and the importance of never giving up on justice. A daughter murdered. A man wrongfully convicted. A mother who never stopped fighting.

After serving 20 years for a crime he didn't commit, Chris Tapp was exonerated in the murder of Angie Dodge and began rebuilding his life, becoming an advocate for the wrongfully convicted. But in 2023, Chris was found unconscious at a party in Las Vegas and later died from his injuries. In this follow-up to our original Angie Dodge episode, which we re-released today, we dive into Chris's tragic final chapter, the bizarre and violent events leading up to his death, and the former pro wrestler-turned-congressional candidate now charged with his murder. The case is still unfolding, and the search for justice continues. Thank you to this week's sponsors! Give your summer closet an upgrade—with Quince.

Christopher Tapp spent 20 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. After finally being exonerated in 2019 with the help of Angie Dodge's mother, Chris tried to rebuild his life and become an advocate for criminal justice reform. But in 2023, Chris was found dead in Las Vegas under suspicious circumstances. The man who had survived two decades of wrongful imprisonment couldn't survive the violence that found him after his release. This tragic epilogue to the Angie Dodge case raises difficult questions about what happens to exonerees after they're freed, and whether justice was truly served. Freedom came too late.

In 1965, police in Houston made a horrifying discovery: the dismembered bodies of two women stuffed inside an apartment refrigerator. The victims were identified as Fred and Edwina Rogers, a wealthy elderly couple. Their son Charles was missing and became the prime suspect, but he was never found. The case took even darker turns when investigators uncovered evidence of a deeply disturbed family dynamic and possible incest. Despite extensive searches and investigations, Charles Rogers vanished without a trace, and the brutal murders remain officially unsolved. Some believe he fled to Central America, while others think he's dead. A refrigerator. Two bodies. A missing son who was never found. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

When does a mother's protective instinct cross the line into something deadly? This week, we discuss a South Texas mom who took her role as protector to the next level—and the end result was the death of an innocent teenage boy. Joey Fischer was a young man whose life was cut tragically short by a mother who believed she was defending her family. But was it really self-defense, or did fear and paranoia lead to the killing of an innocent person? This case raises difficult questions about parental protection, and what happens when someone mistakes an innocent teenager for a threat. We explore the circumstances that led to Joey's death, the mother's justification for her actions, and whether justice was truly served. When protection becomes paranoia, who pays the price?

In Part 1, Sherri Papini vanished during an afternoon jog and reappeared three weeks later, claiming she'd been abducted and tortured by two Hispanic women. The nation rallied around her. But in Part 2, the truth begins to unravel. For years, investigators followed dead-end leads while Sherri and her family went into hiding. Then, a breakthrough: male DNA found on Sherri's clothing didn't match any known suspects—but it did match an ex-boyfriend from her past. When confronted, he revealed the shocking truth: Sherri had been staying with him the entire time. She had asked him to brand her, cut her hair, and help her stage the abduction. Sherri Papini had faked the whole thing. She wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars in investigative resources, manipulated her husband and family, and sparked a nationwide panic—all for attention. This is the story of how the hoax was exposed and the consequences Sherri finally faced. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

When 34-year-old Sherri Papini vanished during an afternoon jog in her quiet California neighborhood in November 2016, the community erupted in panic. Her husband Keith found her phone on the side of the road with her earbuds—strands of Sherri's blonde hair tangled in them. Within hours, a massive search was underway, and the entire nation watched as investigators followed every possible lead. Three weeks later, Sherri suddenly reappeared on the side of a highway on Thanksgiving morning. She was emaciated, battered, and bruised, with a chain around her waist and her wrists zip-tied. She claimed she'd been abducted by two Hispanic women who tortured her and held her captive. But her story sparked more questions than answers—and investigators began to notice troubling inconsistencies. This is Part 1 of Sherri's story, exploring the disappearance, the search, and the moment she reappeared. The truth? It's stranger than fiction. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

Summer is here, and so are the shenanigans! In today's episode, Melissa and Mandy dive into some of the quirkiest (and a few wild) crimes that have taken place during the sunny season. From beachside thefts to ice cream shop heists, we've got it all. Get ready to hear stories about crafty criminals, unlikely heroes, and even a few strange but funny moments that make summer crime a little less scary and a lot more bizarre. Melissa shares her thoughts on beach thefts, including a film director catching thieves stealing from surfers in Newport Beach. Then, Mandy gets into a flower-stealing arrest in Seal Beach, California, and some reflections on her own sneaky gardening tendencies. They also cover the story of a stolen truck full of camping gear, ice cream shop break-ins by both bears and thieves, and a string of boat thefts in the UK and the US. Finally, they discuss some wild summer crimes, like stolen ATM machines, ice cream pint thefts, and even a 5-year-old boy helping to crack a lemur theft case. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

This week, we're doing something a little different! Instead of our usual deep dives, we're sharing quirky summer crimes that happened in quintessential vacation spots—beaches, ice cream shops, campgrounds, and lakes. These are less "summer slasher" and more "summer swipers." From a filmmaker who exposed a theft ring targeting surfers in Newport Beach to a Michigan man who stole from campground payment boxes, these stories are lighthearted, bizarre, and surprisingly entertaining. We'll also cover boat thefts in Germany, ice cream heists that required pint locks, and the audacity of thieves who prey on beachgoers while they're catching waves. If you're looking for a break from heavy true crime, this episode is perfect. It's fun, quirky, and proof that crime doesn't take a summer vacation—it just gets a little more creative.

She was wealthy, stylish, and living the dream life in Sydney, Australia—designer clothes, luxury vacations, a $6.2 million mansion. But when Melissa Caddick vanished without a trace the day after authorities raided her home, what followed would unravel one of Australia's most bizarre financial scandals. Melissa had been running a $23 million Ponzi scheme, stealing from friends, family, and colleagues to fund her extravagant lifestyle. On November 12, 2020, Melissa left for her morning run and never returned. She left behind her phone, wallet, and all personal belongings. Three months later, her decomposing foot—still wearing an expensive running shoe—washed ashore on a beach 250 miles away. But the rest of her body was never found. Did Melissa fake her own death and escape? Did she jump into the ocean? Or was she murdered by someone she scammed? This case explores the audacious lies, fake documents, and lavish spending that fooled dozens of victims—and the mystery that remains unsolved. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

Before he was the Notorious B.I.G., he was just Christopher Wallace—a kid from Brooklyn with big dreams and even bigger talent. His rise to becoming one of the most influential rappers of all time was fast and filled with fame, but it was also marked by hardship, hard choices, and a dangerous rivalry that would ultimately cost him his life. On March 9, 1997, Biggie was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. He was just 24 years old. Despite multiple witnesses, FBI investigations, and decades of speculation, his murder remains unsolved. Theories range from gang retaliation to corrupt LAPD officers, and even revenge for Tupac Shakur's death six months earlier. This episode explores Biggie's life, his meteoric rise in the rap world, the East Coast-West Coast rivalry that defined an era, and the mystery that still surrounds his death more than 25 years later.

Christopher Wallace—better known as The Notorious B.I.G.—rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most iconic voices in hip-hop history. But just as his career was reaching its peak, he was gunned down in Los Angeles in a crime that remains officially unsolved to this day. In this episode, we trace Biggie's journey from his early life and rise to fame, through the East Coast–West Coast rivalry, to the night of his murder and the tangled web of conspiracy theories, police corruption, and false leads that followed. We also explore his mother Voletta's relentless fight for justice, and the legacy Biggie left behind. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

In the second part of our deep dive into the Rust tragedy, we continue to explore the failures and decisions that led to Halyna Hutchins' death. From the lack of safety checks to the dangerous shortcuts taken by production, we uncover just how many mistakes were made in the lead-up to the fatal shooting. Investigators reveal shocking details about the crew's lack of experience and the negligence that resulted in live rounds being on set. We also look at the aftermath, including the legal battles and public reactions, and hear from those most affected by the tragedy. This episode serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of following safety protocols and the human lives that are impacted when those rules are ignored.

In Part 1, we explored the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust. In Part 2, we dive into the aftermath: the investigations, the trials, and the search for accountability. Where did the live ammunition come from? Who was responsible for the safety failures that led to Halyna's death? Investigators uncovered a disturbing pattern of cost-cutting, unqualified staff, and ignored safety protocols. Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was forced to juggle two jobs, leaving weapons unsecured. Alec Baldwin claimed he never pulled the trigger. And the assistant director admitted he didn't properly check the gun before handing it to Baldwin. This episode examines the criminal charges, the trials, and the difficult question of who should be held accountable when a preventable tragedy occurs. It's a story about negligence, responsibility, and the devastating consequences of cutting corners. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

On October 21, 2021, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed on the set of the Western film Rust when a gun held by actor Alec Baldwin discharged during a rehearsal. The bullet struck Halyna in the chest and also injured director Joel Souza. She was rushed to the hospital but died from her injuries. She was just 42 years old. The tragedy shocked the entertainment industry and raised urgent questions: How did a live round end up in a prop gun? Who was responsible for checking the weapon? And why were there so many safety violations on set? In Part 1, we explore the events leading up to Halyna's death, the chaotic production environment, the unqualified armorer, and the critical failures that turned a routine rehearsal into a fatal disaster. This is the story of a preventable tragedy and the search for accountability. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

As we record this episode, a prison break is actively unfolding at the Orleans Parish Justice Center in New Orleans. Ten inmates made a dramatic escape through a hole behind a toilet, sparking questions about security lapses. Some have already been recaptured, but others are still at large. You can follow the ongoing developments of this current escape here. But while we're following this real-time event, we're also diving into some of the most daring (and sometimes outlandish) prison break stories in history. From attempted escapes that didn't quite work out, to prisoners who put their creativity to the test in ways we never imagined, join us as we explore these wild, yet somewhat relatable, escapes. It's a tale of attempted freedom, some questionable planning, and a few lessons on why you should probably leave it to the professionals when it comes to breaking out of jail.

In the early hours of May 16, 2025, the Orleans Parish Justice Center in New Orleans became the scene of a dramatic jailbreak when 10 inmates escaped through a hole behind a toilet in their cell. These weren't petty criminals—some were charged with murder. They meticulously planned the breakout, removed the sink and toilet unit, cut through the wall, and fled through a loading dock before climbing a fence to freedom. The most shocking part? The escape went unnoticed for seven hours. The only guard on duty had left to get food, and it wasn't until a routine headcount that anyone realized 10 inmates were missing. One of the escapees even left a note that read: "Too easy. LOL." This episode explores the New Orleans jailbreak and other audacious prison escapes from around the country, examining the security failures, inside jobs, and sheer audacity that make these stories so fascinating—and so terrifying.

Houston's Memorial neighborhood was known for peaceful streets and upscale homes—not for murder. But in the early hours of June 19, 1982, that reputation was shattered when James and Virginia Campbell were shot to death as they slept in their bed. The community was shocked. Who would kill this beloved couple in their own home? The answer was even more shocking: their own daughter, Cindy, and her boyfriend David West. Cindy stood to inherit a significant amount of money, and she was willing to do anything to get it—including hiring someone to kill her parents while her young children slept down the hall. This case features one of the most incredible undercover investigations in true crime history. A 23-year-old private investigator went undercover, befriending David West for months to gain his trust and extract a confession. The long game paid off, but the story is filled with twists, betrayals, and a chilling reminder that sometimes the greatest danger comes from within your own family.

When beloved Houston attorney James Campbell and his wife Virginia were found murdered in their bed, the crime stunned the city's elite. There was no forced entry, no sign of a struggle—and no clear motive. But as police dug deeper into the family's complicated dynamics, all signs pointed to someone close. What followed was a years-long investigation, a stunning undercover operation, and one of the most bizarre true crime stories to ever come out of Texas. This is the story of the Campbell family murders—and the woman who helped bring their killers to justice. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

In early 2018, 25-year-old Trish Haynes told her family she was heading to New Hampshire to clear up a court matter. Then she vanished. In the months that followed, horrifying clues about what happened to her began to emerge—until a shocking discovery was made four months later: a jawbone sealed inside a washing machine at the bottom of Grant Pond. Trish had survived a difficult childhood and was raised by her devoted grandparents, Sandy and Steven. She was a young woman with dreams of modeling, a big heart, and a tendency to see the best in everyone—even those who didn't deserve it. Despite ample circumstantial evidence, no one has ever been held accountable for Trish's disappearance and murder. We'd like to thank Trish's loved ones—Sandy, Valerie, Carrie Ann, and Chloe—for their help in putting together this episode and for allowing us to share Trish's story.

In October 2016, Larry and Bianca Rudolph were on a hunting safari in Zambia when tragedy struck. On the last day of their trip, Bianca was found dead from a gunshot wound in their cabin. Larry claimed it was an accident—that Bianca's rifle had discharged while she was packing. But investigators weren't convinced. Larry and Bianca had been married for over 30 years, traveling the world on expensive hunting safaris. But behind the glamorous lifestyle was a pattern of infidelity. Larry had been cheating on Bianca for years, including a long-term affair with his dental office manager, Lori Milliron. Just days after Bianca's death, Larry collected nearly $5 million in life insurance and began planning a future with Lori. This update episode covers the full story—from the suspicious death in Zambia to the investigation, the trial, and the shocking verdict. Larry Rudolph was eventually convicted of murder and mail fraud, and Lori was convicted as an accessory. Justice for Bianca came years later, but it finally came.

This is where it all began. In 2017, the very first episode of Moms and Mysteries covered the Casey Anthony case. Eight years later, we're revisiting this infamous story with fresh perspective, better research, and updated information. In 2008, two-year-old Caylee Anthony disappeared from her Orlando home. Her mother, Casey, waited 31 days to report her missing. When Caylee's remains were finally found, Casey was charged with murder. The trial became a media sensation, and the verdict shocked the nation. Recently, Casey has re-emerged on social media, attempting to rebrand herself as an advocate and researcher—putting herself back in the spotlight. This renewed episode covers the case from beginning to end with the storytelling skills we've developed over 491 episodes. Whether you heard our original version or you're new to the podcast, this is the definitive deep dive into one of the most controversial cases in modern true crime history.

On a warm July night in 2012, 16-year-old Skylar Neese slipped out of her bedroom window to meet her two best friends, Sheila Eddy and Rachel Shoaf. The three girls called themselves "The Three Musketeers" and were inseparable. But that night, Skylar never came home. At first, it seemed like a case of a runaway teen. Sheila and Rachel told Skylar's parents they had dropped her off at midnight and didn't know where she went. But as days turned into weeks, something about their story didn't sit right. Behind their innocent smiles was a secret darker than anyone could have imagined. Months later, Rachel Shoaf confessed to police: she and Sheila had lured Skylar into the woods and murdered her. When asked why, Rachel's chilling answer was simple: "We didn't want to be friends with her anymore." This is the story of a small West Virginia town shaken to its core by an unthinkable betrayal.

On April 26, 1999, beloved British television presenter Jill Dando was shot and killed on the doorstep of her London home in broad daylight. The murder of one of the UK's most recognizable faces shocked the nation and sparked one of the largest murder investigations in British history. Barry George, a local man with mental health issues, was convicted of her murder in 2001—but the conviction was overturned in 2008 due to lack of evidence. He was acquitted at retrial. Despite extensive investigations, theories ranging from professional hits to stalkers, and decades of public fascination, Jill Dando's murder remains unsolved. Who killed Jill Dando?

In June 2022, Shaun Varsos  murdered his ex-wife Marie Versos and her mother Debbie Cisco in a calculated act of domestic violence. Despite Marie's desperate attempts to protect herself—including obtaining a restraining order and filing for divorce—the system failed her. Shaun had been released from jail just days before the murders, and Marie had no idea he was free. Shaun shot and killed both Marie and Debbie, then posted a manifesto on social media blaming Marie for everything before taking his own life. Marie's brother Alex found the post and immediately knew something was wrong, but it was too late. This episode is an UPDATE because in the wake of this tragedy, Ohio passed "Marie & Debbie's Law"—requiring that domestic violence victims be notified when their abuser is released from custody. Alex Versos fought tirelessly for this law, turning his grief into action that could save countless lives. This is a story of domestic violence, systemic failure, and a family's fight to ensure no one else suffers the same fate.

This week, we revisit the gut-wrenching story of Marie Versos and her mother, Debbie Cisco, whose lives were brutally taken due to domestic violence. Originally covered in October 2023, this update reveals shocking new details and significant changes to the law that aim to prevent future tragedies. Despite Marie's desperate attempts to escape abuse, the system failed her—and her death, alongside her mother's, exposed major flaws in the legal process. But there's a silver lining. Marie's brother, Alex, has channeled his grief into action, spearheading the Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection Act. Passed in July 2024, this groundbreaking law mandates GPS monitoring for high-risk offenders—something that could have had a different outcome in this story. We dig into the chilling details, the systemic failures, and how Alex is turning pain into purpose with this law that's already making a difference.

In the spring of 1955, a crime of passion unfolded on a quiet London street, capturing the attention of an entire nation. Ruth Ellis, a 28-year-old nightclub hostess, shot and killed her abusive lover David Blakely outside a pub in Hampstead. She fired six shots, then calmly waited for police to arrive. At her trial, Ruth showed no remorse. She admitted to the killing and said she intended to kill him. The jury deliberated for just 14 minutes before finding her guilty of murder. On July 13, 1955, Ruth Ellis became the last woman to be executed in the United Kingdom. But Ruth's story is more than just a murder. It's a story of domestic abuse, desperation, and a legal system that failed to consider the circumstances that drove her to kill. Her execution sparked national outrage and helped fuel the movement to abolish capital punishment in Britain. This episode explores the life, crime, trial, and execution of Ruth Ellis—and the legacy she left behind. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

In 1987, Michelle Schofield was brutally murdered in Lakeland, Florida. Her husband, Leo Schofield, was convicted of the crime and sentenced to life in prison. But Leo has always maintained his innocence—and a groundbreaking podcast investigation uncovered evidence that suggests he may be right. The Bone Valley podcast, created by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gilbert King, exposed shocking details that were never presented at trial: DNA evidence pointing to another suspect, witness testimony that was ignored, and a confession from a serial killer that was dismissed. Despite this new evidence, Leo remains in prison. This episode features an interview with Gilbert King about his investigation, the power of storytelling in exposing wrongful convictions, and Leo's ongoing fight for freedom. This is a story about justice delayed, evidence ignored, and one man's refusal to give up hope. Listen to the full Bone Valley podcast for the complete investigation.

From Leo's resilience in the face of a wrongful conviction to the unexpected twists in season two involving Jeremy Scott, Gilbert shares behind-the-scenes insights into the making of Bone Valley. We also explore the emotional journey of forgiveness and redemption, and the powerful relationships that have emerged from this case, like the bond between Leo and Jeremy.

On a cold February night in 2018, 20-year-old Ryan Shtuka left a house party in Sun Peaks, British Columbia, and was never seen again. What should have been a 10 to 15 minute walk home turned into a haunting mystery that still echoes through the local community. Ryan was a bright, adventurous young man working at the Sun Peaks ski resort. He loved snowboarding, had a close group of friends, and was living his best life in the mountains. But on February 17, 2018, he vanished without a trace. Despite extensive searches involving hundreds of volunteers, search and rescue teams, and even specialized cadaver dogs, no sign of Ryan has ever been found. His family has never stopped searching, creating the "Shtukasaurus" nd keeping his story alive. This episode follows the emotional journey of Ryan's family, their relentless search, and the global movement that grew from one young man's disappearance. Ryan's mother describes being caught between grief and hope—unable to fully grieve because he's missing, but unable to give up hope that he'll be found. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

In late 2019 and early 2020, residents of rural Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas reported seeing massive swarms of mysterious drones flying over their farms and towns at night. Law enforcement reported seeing 50 drones at once. Locals described large white ball-shaped drones surrounded by smaller ones with red and white flashing lights. No one knew who was operating them or why. The FAA investigated. The FBI got involved. Local residents formed "drone hunter" groups to track them down. But despite extensive investigations, the mystery was never solved. Were they government surveillance? Private companies? Something else entirely? This episode features an interview with Gabe from the Obscure podcast, who investigated the drone phenomenon firsthand. We discuss the sightings, the theories, the government response, and why this case remains one of the strangest unsolved mysteries in recent years.

On the night of April 1, 2006, 27-year-old medical student Brian Shaffer went out with friends to the Ugly Tuna Saloona bar in Columbus, Ohio. Security cameras captured him entering the bar—but he was never seen leaving. When the bar closed and his friends couldn't find him, Brian had simply vanished. Despite extensive searches, hundreds of tips, and years of investigation, no trace of Brian has ever been found. The case has baffled investigators and captivated the public for nearly two decades. How does someone disappear from a crowded bar without being seen on any security camera? Did Brian leave voluntarily? Was he the victim of foul play? Or did something else happen that night?

This week, we are discussing one of the most perplexing missing persons cases of the 2000s—the disappearance of Brian Shaffer. On April 1, 2006, Brian, a 27-year-old Ohio State medical student, was last seen entering the Ugly Tuna Saloona bar in Columbus, Ohio. But here's where it gets strange: while there's surveillance footage of him walking in, there's no footage or evidence of him ever leaving. Despite numerous theories and a massive search, Brian has never been found, and his disappearance remains unsolved to this day. Tune in as we explore the mystery surrounding Brian's case and why it's still one of the most baffling disappearances in modern history. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

On the morning of August 16, 1942, a US Navy blimp lifted off from Treasure Island in San Francisco on a routine anti-submarine patrol. Hours later, it crashed into a quiet neighborhood in Daly City, California. But something was terribly wrong. The blimp's doors were open. Its equipment was untouched. The life raft was still secured. But the two crew members—Lieutenant Ernest DeWitt Cody and Ensign Charles Ellis Adams—had vanished without a trace.There was no distress call. No sign of a struggle. No blood. No bodies. Just an empty blimp drifting through the sky like a ghost ship. Eighty years later, the mystery of the L-8 blimp remains unsolved. What happened to the two Navy airmen? Did they fall out? Jump? Were they abducted? This episode explores one of the strangest unsolved mysteries in American military history. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

This week we explore true crime firsts—the groundbreaking cases and moments that changed criminal investigations forever. They dive into: The first DNA conviction: The case of Colin Pitchfork in 1987 in the UK, where DNA evidence was used for the first time to convict a killer. Two teenage girls were murdered years apart, and DNA technology—still brand new at the time—helped identify and convict Pitchfork after a massive blood testing campaign of 5,000 local men. The first woman executed by the US government: Mary Surat, a boarding house owner who aided John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. She was convicted and hanged in 1865. The parrot witness: A bizarre Michigan case where a parrot may have witnessed a murder and repeatedly mimicked the victim's final words, saying "Don't shoot!" This became the closest thing the justice system has ever had to a talking bird witness. This episode is a fascinating, lighter look at the innovations and oddities that shaped modern crime-solving. A fun, educational conversation for true crime fans who love the history and science behind the cases!

In July 2002, former NBA champion Bison Dele set sail across the South Pacific with his girlfriend Serena Karlan, his brother Miles Dabord, and skipper Bertrand Saldo. It was supposed to be an adventure—a journey of freedom and exploration for the retired basketball star who had walked away from millions to live life on his own terms. But something went terribly wrong on that boat. In September 2002, Miles returned to the United States alone. Bison, Serena, and Bertrand had vanished. Miles tried to access Bison's bank accounts, forged documents, and acted increasingly erratic. Before police could arrest him, Miles overdosed and died—taking the truth with him. The bodies of Bison Dele, Serena Karlan, and Bertrand Saldo have never been found. Investigators believe Miles killed all three at sea and dumped their bodies overboard. But without evidence, without bodies, and without a living suspect, the case remains officially unsolved.This episode explores the life of Bison Dele, the mysterious disappearance, and the chilling likelihood that his own brother murdered him.

In July of 2002, former NBA star Bison Dele, his girlfriend Serena Karlan, and a boat captain named Bertrand Saldo vanished while sailing the South Pacific Ocean. The only person to return from the trip was Bison's older brother, Miles. When Miles arrived alone in Tahiti, the boat had been repainted and renamed. Authorities suspected Miles had murdered the other three while at sea so that he could assume his brother's identity, but with no bodies ever found and with Miles' death in 2002, the fate of Bison and his companions remains a mystery to this day.

On November 27, 1978, San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone were assassinated in San Francisco City Hall by former supervisor Dan White.Harvey Milk was the first openly gay elected official in California. He was a trailblazer, an activist, and a voice for the LGBTQ+ community at a time when being openly gay could cost you everything—your job, your family, your safety, even your life.Dan White had resigned from the Board of Supervisors just days earlier. When he tried to get his job back and was denied, he smuggled a gun into City Hall, shot Mayor Moscone four times, then walked to Harvey Milk's office and shot him five times. White was convicted of voluntary manslaughter—not murder—after his defense team argued he was suffering from depression, citing his consumption of junk food as evidence. The verdict sparked outrage and riots in San Francisco.This episode explores the life and legacy of Harvey Milk, the assassination that shocked the nation, and the controversial trial that followed.

On September 24, 1992, 23-year-old Dail Dinwiddie was found murdered in her apartment in Columbia, South Carolina. She had been sexually assaulted and strangled. Despite an extensive investigation, the case went cold. For 27 years, Dail's family waited for answers. Investigators never gave up, preserving evidence and hoping that one day, technology would catch up.In 2019, that day finally came.Using advanced DNA technology and forensic genealogy, investigators identified a suspect: Zachary Bunner, a man who had been living freely for nearly three decades while Dail's family grieved. In 2023, Bunner was convicted of Dail's murder and sentenced to life in prison. This episode tells the story of Dail Dinwiddie—a young woman whose life was stolen, a family who never stopped fighting for justice, and the investigators who refused to let her case be forgotten.

In April 1948, Wilson Turner, a cattle farmer, made the fatal mistake of crossing John Wallace. When Turner was released from jail on unrelated charges, Wallace and three accomplices ambushed him on Highway 41, chased him down, and brutally murdered him. But this time, Wallace made a critical error: he dumped Turner's body across the county line in Meriwether County—outside his sphere of influence. Sheriff Lamar Potts of Meriwether County was not under Wallace's control, and he was determined to bring the powerful criminal to justice.What followed was a landmark investigation and trial that exposed decades of corruption, violence, and unchecked power in rural Georgia. The Coweta Case became one of the most famous murder trials in Georgia history. This episode explores the reign of terror John Wallace inflicted on Coweta County, the murder of Wilson Turner, and the sheriff who finally brought a killer to justice.

On October 12, 1964, Mary Pinchot Meyer—a beautiful, intelligent socialite with connections to the most powerful circles in Washington, DC—was shot execution-style in broad daylight while walking along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath. Mary was no ordinary victim. She was the ex-wife of a high-ranking CIA official, a close friend of Jackie Kennedy, and—most controversially—rumored to have been having an affair with President John F. Kennedy in the months before his assassination .Her murder was never solved, and the circumstances surrounding her death have fueled decades of conspiracy theories. Was she killed because of what she knew? Did her connections to JFK and the CIA make her a target? A man was arrested and tried for her murder, but he was acquitted. No one else has ever been charged.This episode explores the life of Mary Pinchot Meyer, her connections to JFK and the CIA, the mysterious circumstances of her murder, and the conspiracy theories that continue to swirl around her death.

On the night of March 4, 2008, 18-year-old Auburn University student Lauren Burk was found on Highway 147 in Lee County, Alabama—naked, bleeding, and fighting for her life. She had been shot in the back and thrown from a moving vehicle. Despite desperate efforts to save her, Lauren died at the hospital. Her car was found burning near the Auburn campus. An iPod belonging to Lauren and a revolver were recovered during the investigation, leading police to Courtney Lockhart, a man with no significant criminal history but a string of recent armed robberies. Lockhart had forced Lauren into her own car at gunpoint, robbed her, stripped her of her clothing, shot her, and pushed her out of the moving vehicle. He then set her car on fire to destroy evidence. Courtney Lockhart was convicted of Lauren's murder and sentenced to death. Despite multiple appeals, his conviction and sentence have been upheld. This episode tells the story of Lauren Burk—a bright, beloved young woman whose life was stolen by a violent criminal—and the father who fought for justice for his daughter.

January is National Stalking Awareness Month, and this episode tells the story of the woman whose tragic death inspired its creation. Peggy Klinke was a bright, ambitious young woman with a promising future. She was fun-loving, creative, and brought positive energy everywhere she went. But Peggy's life was tragically cut short by a relentless stalker. Peggy was born on December 2, 1970, in Youngstown, Ohio, and grew up in a close-knit family with three siblings. Her sister Debbie worked with Moms and Mysteries to share Peggy's story. Peggy's stalker refused to leave her alone. Despite Peggy's efforts to protect herself and seek help, her stalker's obsession escalated to violence. Peggy was murdered by her stalker, and her death became a catalyst for change. Her story inspired the establishment of National Stalking Awareness Month in January, reminding us that addressing stalking behaviors early and with urgency can save lives. Stalking affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men at some point in their lives. It's a crime that instills fear, disrupts lives, and can lead to devastating outcomes. This episode honors Peggy's memory and highlights the importance of recognizing the signs of stalking and supporting victims. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

On a seemingly ordinary day in California, Nikki Cheng Saelee-McCain was driving on the freeway with her friend Chloe when the gear shifter in her beloved red Mitsubishi Eclipse snapped in half. Nikki, always calm and quick to laugh, turned on her emergency lights and coasted to the side of the road. What should have been a minor inconvenience turned into a nightmare. Nikki vanished. Born in a refugee camp in Southeast Asia on November 9, 1984, Nikki was the third of seven children born to resilient parents who fled Laos in the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Her family eventually made it to the United States, where Nikki grew up in the Sacramento, California area. Nikki was known for her infectious laughter, her calm demeanor, and her love of life. But when her car broke down on the freeway, she disappeared without a trace. This episode was created with the help of Nikki's family, who worked with Moms and Mysteries to share her story and keep her memory alive.

Despite her forgiving nature and hopes for a better future, Nikki went missing in May 2024, with her abandoned truck later found in a remote area. As Nikki's family continues their search for answers, Tyler's inconsistent claims and legal troubles raise suspicions about his involvement in her disappearance.

On January 27, 1973, 20-year-old Dawn Magyar was abducted from a shopping center parking lot in Owosso, Michigan. She had just finished grocery shopping and was loading her purchases into her borrowed truck when she was forcibly taken. Her husband reported her missing that evening. The next day, police found the truck in the parking lot with her groceries still inside and her keys scattered on the ground—clear signs of a violent abduction.Despite a massive search involving 4,000 local volunteers, Dawn was not found alive. On March 4, 1973, two young brothers discovered her body in a wooded area in Saginaw County. She had been raped and shot three times with a .22 caliber gun. The case went cold for decades. But in 2001, new DNA technology enabled police to identify the killer: Jerald Leroy Wingeart. He was arrested, tried, and convicted of Dawn's murder—28 years after her body was found. This episode tells the story of Dawn Magyar, the investigation that spanned nearly three decades, and the DNA breakthrough that finally brought her killer to justice.

Bob Wykel was described as an "incredible gentleman" by those who met him. He was an older man who wore a diamond ring and a gold necklace, and he was known for his kind demeanor.But Bob's life was stolen by someone he thought was a friend: Myron. Myron befriended Bob, and on February 23rd, the two went on a trip together to look at a Thunderbird in Lakewood, Washington. Myron's sister Robin met Bob that day and said he seemed to be in a good mood and getting along well with Myron.But Bob never made it home.Investigators discovered that Myron had made suspicious phone calls from Bob's apartment on February 20th—the same day Myron claimed he was there for two hours. As detectives dug deeper, they uncovered evidence that Myron had killed Bob and stolen his diamond ring, trying to sell it to family members for cash. The investigation led detectives to Mother Nature's Acres, a 140-acre resort owned by Myron's family in Thurston County, Washington, which included an 11-acre spring-fed lake said to be so deep it had no bottom. This is the story of Bob Wykel—a kind man whose trust was betrayed—and the investigation that brought his killer to justice. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

Iconic rapper Tupac Shakur, in his lyrics and persona, foreshadowed his own violent end. Tupac's bold, brash and fearless demeanor earned him a legion of fans, but it also made him a target. Whether intentional or not, Tupac's "thug life" mantra blurred the lines between Hollywood gangsters and real ones, a threshold from which there was no turning back. Now, nearly 30 years after the prolific rapper was gunned down in a hail of bullets near the Las Vegas Strip, the public may finally get confirmation of the men and the motive behind one of music's greatest mysteries: Who killed Tupac Shakur? Why did it take authorities over 25 years to file charges in such a high-profile case when so many apparently already knew who was responsible? Who were they trying to protect? And what's changed?

On July 26, 1992, Brenda Gale Christian Lambert disappeared from her home in Bluefield, West Virginia, just hours after hosting her son's first birthday party. Brenda was born on December 26, 1969, and was the fifth of seven children. She was described as fun, outgoing, feisty, and mischievous, with a heart of gold. She was a tomboy who loved climbing trees and playing outside, but also had a girly side and loved doing makeup and hair. At 16, Brenda met Raymond Lambert and soon became pregnant. The couple married in 1986 and had a second child in 1991. But by 1992, their marriage had deteriorated. Raymond was having an affair with Brenda's cousin Tammy, and he had become physically violent with Brenda, choking her on multiple occasions. At the birthday party, Tammy showed up uninvited, creating tension. After everyone left, Brenda asked Raymond if she could keep the kids overnight, but he refused. Later that night, Raymond showed up at Brenda's sister's house at 11 PM, shaking and asking if anyone had seen Brenda. The next day, Brenda's mom found her car in the driveway and the front door locked, but Brenda was gone. She hasn't been seen since.If you have information about Brenda Lambert's disappearance, please contact the Bluefield Police Department.

On February 9, 1960, Adolph Coors III, heir to the Coors brewing empire, left his Colorado home for work and vanished without a trace. His car was found abandoned on a bridge with the engine still running, blood on the bridge, and signs of a violent struggle. Seven months later, his remains were discovered in a remote area.Adolph was the 44-year-old grandson of the founder of the Coors Brewing Company. He was a devoted husband, father of four, and a key figure in the family business. His disappearance sparked one of the largest manhunts in American history. The investigation led to Joseph Corbett Jr., a convicted murderer who had been paroled just two years earlier. Corbett was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, and after months on the run, he was captured in Canada. The case became a landmark in American criminal justice, involving ransom demands, interstate flight, and a trial that captivated the nation. Adolph Coors III's murder changed his family forever and left a lasting impact on the brewing dynasty that bears his name.This is the story of a kidnapping gone wrong, a family's grief, and the relentless pursuit of justice.

On May 1, 2016, Bianca Carrasco, a devoted nurse and mother of three, vanished from San Antonio, Texas. Bianca failed to show up for work, which was completely out of character for the responsible and caring 29-year-old. When investigators talked to Bianca's husband Daniel, they became suspicious of his inconsistent story about his wife's disappearance. Born in Odessa, Texas, on July 21, 1986, Bianca grew up with her older sister Jovanna. Despite a difficult childhood, Bianca was determined to build a better life for herself and her three children. Bianca was a hardworking nurse who loved her kids more than anything. Her family and friends knew something was terribly wrong when she didn't show up for work. Nearly eight years later, investigators are still waiting for new leads or information to emerge. No one has been arrested in connection with Bianca's disappearance. Thank you to both Julie for taking the time to speak with us about Bianca, and to the Murder Diaries who graciously shared their research with us to help create this episode. If you have any information about Bianca Carrasco's disappearance, please contact the San Antonio Police Department. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

On July 19, 1990, a couple exploring near a canal in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, made a horrifying discovery: the dismembered body of a woman, with her head and hands removed. The victim was Beverly McGowan, a 34-year-old Philadelphia native who had been living and working in Fort Lauderdale. Beverly was a quiet, hardworking woman who kept to herself and was considered a workaholic by those who knew her. Beverly's throat had been slit, and her killer had crudely dismembered her body with a machete in an attempt to conceal her identity. The only identifying mark left on her body was a small yellow rose tattoo on her ankle. The investigation led to Elaine Parent, a con artist and identity thief who had befriended Beverly and then brutally murdered her before fleeing to London using a stolen identity. Elaine's pattern of stealing identities, manipulating victims, and evading law enforcement made her one of the most dangerous criminals Florida had ever seen. This is the story of Beverly McGowan—a woman whose trust was betrayed in the most horrific way—and the relentless pursuit of her killer. New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday!

Feed Drop Description: Dr. Robert Hadden was a trusted OB-GYN at Columbia University. Friendly, caring, unassuming… and behind the closed door of exam rooms, one of the most prolific sexual predators in New York City. During his 25-year career, he assaulted hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients, under the guise of medical exams. Those who tried to warn Columbia were ignored or not believed. When it appeared that no one — not Hadden, not Columbia — would be held to account, it was the survivors who undertook a decade-long fight for justice. From Wondery, Exposed: Cover-Up at Columbia University is a story about power: who has it, who loses it, and what it takes to get it back.

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985. She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished. When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no one could say how it got there. When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn't the only suspect when Sheree went missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who lived a sinister double life. Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley, digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?

No musician owned pop music quite like Britney Spears at the turn of the century. After graduating from Mississippi tween queen to full-fledged American superstar, her fame exploded at a time when tabloids circled celebrities like prey. 30 to 45 predatory paparazzi would follow Britney's every move during 12-to-14 hour shifts, eager to document the collapse of her marriage and social circle. As her public image crumbled, it's no wonder Britney ended 2007 with a bald head and a "blackout." The conservatorship that came next, however, surprised everyone—even Britney herself. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including domestic violence and suicide. If you're thinking about suicide, or are worried about a friend or loved one, call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.
