One thing that never ceases to amaze me, in the worst possible way, is the price some people are willing to put on a human life. If you’re a regular listener, you already know - some people kill for a house, or custody of their children, or to retain their shares of a business. But sometimes there’s a concrete price on the line. Content Warnings: murder, infidelity. For Ad Free Content visit Patreon or Apple Subscription Sponsor...

In a court of law, you might assume that there’s a certain level of decorum that needs to be maintained by defendants, witnesses, and lawyers alike. Speaking clearly, respectfully, not using profanity unless it’s strictly necessary for relaying past events or direct quotes. That sort of thing.

Time and time again, we’ve covered cases where one half of a partnership commits acts of cruelty and abuse towards the other… and still, it never ceases to be shocking.

I'M BACK - Thank you so much for hanging in there with me, while I took some time away from the podcast rather unexpectedly. I miss my dad quite a bit, so coming back has been really daunting. If you read this far, thank you again for hanging out until I got it all together to come back to a place I've called 'home' for the last 10 years. I'm not done with TCCWL [probs will do this into my 70s! lol] You might remember this phrase ...

It’s one of those trends you see a lot on social media – “post a photo of yourself five, ten, fifteen years ago, and a photo of you now!” If you’ve participated in that, you’ve probably felt the same way everyone else does – like that person existed an entire lifetime ago.  Content Warnings: murder, mistrials.

This week, I’m stepping away from our usual format to bring you a more candid, off-the-cuff exploration of a case that stayed with me—one that didn’t make national headlines but absolutely should have. Lisa Boldridge didn’t fire the gun that killed her ex-husband, Kurt—but prosecutors say she planned every detail. From years of harassment and arson to manipulating her son’s father into pulling the trigger, this case is a disturbin...

There are moments in life that, once seen, can never be unseen. Maybe it’s something deeply personal—like the sight of a loved one in a hospital bed. Or maybe it’s the brief but jarring glimpse of strangers in the aftermath of a tragedy. In this episode, we examine the disturbing case of Sarah Boone and Jorge Torres Jr.—a couple bound by a volatile, alcohol-fueled relationship that ended in a shocking and unforgettable act. What u...

When tragedy strikes close to home, the line between love and danger can blur. In this episode, we explore two chilling cases where the wives, not the husbands, stood accused of murder. What leads someone to turn on the person they once vowed to love forever? And how does justice weigh intent, betrayal, and loss? Join me as I unpack the deaths of Gary Farris and Bill Hall Jr., two cases with haunting similarities—and very differe...

The “mafia” in Chicago has a long and storied history, with origins dating back as far as the late 1800s. It has ties to the island of Sicily, and is also known as “The Outfit” and “La Cosa Nostra,” an Italian phrase apparently meaning “Our Thing”. The Chicago Outfit was born from the murder of James “Big Jim” Colosimo on May 11th, 1920.  Content Warnings: organized crime, murder. For Ad Free Content visit Supercast; Patreon; or ...

In this episode, we’re revisiting the infamous “Devil Made Me Do It” case, the chilling story that inspired The Conjuring 3. We’ll walk through what reportedly happened to 11-year-old David Glatzel, the controversial involvement of Ed and Lorraine Warren, and the murder that led to the first-ever U.S. legal defense based on demonic possession.

It’s a sad fact in doing research for these cases that facts about the victims get lost along the way. Countless reports from newspapers will detail the lives of killers, rapists, thieves, and con artists, while rarely – if ever – finding the space to tell us about the people who they hurt. The breadth of information available narrows even further when we go back even 20 years – before social media, viral campaigns for recognition,...

As a parent, sending your children off to college can be scary. It’s natural to worry about your child making the right choices, succeeding in their classes, making new friends, and whether they can take care of themselves without your help. Unfortunately, these issues pale in comparison to the reality of violence occuring on campus. Date rape, domestic abuse, and even murder are all too common once someone is out there in the “rea...

In some criminal cases, it’s almost like the contrast between the crime and the person committing it, which somehow makes everything more shocking. For example, when the criminal is a police officer – something that seems to occur ridiculously often - breaking the law instead of upholding it. Then there are cases where nurses intentionally harm or even kill the vulnerable people they’re supposed to be caring for. Or when already-di...
