This week, we discuss the mysterious death of 31-year-old Amanda Antoni, whose body was discovered in the basement of the family home under suspicious circumstances in Calgary, Canada. What initially seemed like an unfortunate accident soon turned into a case full of unanswered questions.
We walk through the timeline of events from Amanda's last known whereabouts to the moment her husband Lee discovered her body in the basement days later. We’ll also discuss the investigation, what was uncovered, and the challenges investigators faced in piecing together what happened. With little clarity around Amanda's official cause of death, this case still remains an unsettling mystery after ten years.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
