Join McKenzie and Sunny today as we wrap up our deep dive into the horrific case of Michelle “Shelly” Knotek. Shelly is a brutal serial abuser and killer who’s victims were the ones closest to her. She tortured friends and family, literally, to death! In today’s episode we will discuss what came of Tori's daily life once both her sisters were out of the house. We will discuss Ron Wordsworth, a Vietnam war veteran who would turn to Shelly in a time of need and receive only abuse and torture. This would eventually lead to his horrific death. We also meet another veteran who Shelly most likely killed in order to receive a life insurance payout. Thankfully we can get to the eventual arrest and sentencing of Dave and Shelly Knotek, however we will never be satisfied with the punishment.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
