The Luigi Mangione trial is the most consequential true crime case of 2026 — not just for its legal weight, but for what it revealed about the relationship between Americans and the healthcare system that the victim ran. Three spent shell casings. Three words. A ghost gun. A sealed notebook. A five-day manhunt from Manhattan to Pennsylvania. And a public reaction that no one was prepared for. The Murder Tape Khronicles presen...
On New Year's Day 2023, Ana Walshe was killed in the basement of her family's home in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Her husband Brian Walshe then placed an Amazon order at 4:57 AM for tarps, cleaning supplies, and a saw. He searched "how to dispose of a body." He made multiple trash runs to a transfer station thirty miles away. An employee at that facility noticed something in the waste stream. Investigators found Ana's remains — ...
On February 13, 2017, fourteen-year-old Libby German uploaded a 43-second Snapchat video moments before she and best friend Abby Williams were murdered on a hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana. The video — grainy, compressed, but unmistakably showing a man approaching — became the spine of a seven-year investigation. Richard Allen was convicted in October 2024. His appeal is pending. And a handwritten note found at the crim...
In October 1937, Rafael Trujillo used a single word — perejil, parsley — to identify and massacre an estimated 20,000 Haitians living along the Dominican-Haitian border. This episode of History of the Caribbean documents El Corte: the six days of killing, the diplomatic silence Haiti's government accepted for $525,000, and why no court ever assigned legal responsibility. The story of how a language, a word, and a foreig...
In late 2019, two children were buried in a backyard in Salem, Idaho.

This episode of The Murder Tape Khronicles covers the full Daybell-Vallow case: the zombie classification text messages, the suspicious death of Tammy Daybell, the backyard discovery,...
Ted Bundy confessed to murdering Laura Ann Aime three days before his execution in 1989 — and for 37 years, that confession was the record. No DNA confirmation. No molecular evidence. Just the word of a serial killer who used information as performance.
In 1999, a 14-year-old girl called police in Rotherham, England. She gave them a name. She told them what happened. The officer filed it as a marker — not an investigation. She called back three months later. Then she stopped calling.
Breonna Taylor was 26 years old, a licensed EMT, and she was asleep in her apartment when Louisville police arrived on a warrant built on a lie. Six years later, the federal charges targeting that lie — the false affidavit that put officers at her door — have been quietly dismissed by the Department of Justice under the Trump administration. No one has served a single day in prison for her death.
For thirty years, Mike Jeffries ran Abercrombie & Fitch on a single ideology: some bodies are assets, and the right ones can be bought. Now federal prosecutors say that ideology never stayed inside the stores.

A Georgia jury convicted Colin Gray of murder for the four deaths at Apalachee High School — not because he was there, not because he pulled the trigger, but because the documented warning signs, the 2023 FBI interview, and the gun left in the home established a level of culpability that Georgia law treats as murder. The full documented story of a landmark verdict. The Murder Tape Khronicles.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
