United Airlines Flight 629 departed the Stapleton Airport in Denver, Colorado at 6:52 pm on Tuesday, November 1st, 1955. Just 11 minutes later at 7:03 pm, just as the plane reached 10,000 feet, it suddenly disappeared from Air Traffic Radar. Meanwhile, residents of Longmont, Colorado heard an explosion in the skies overhead. Their windows rattled and they saw a bright ball of fire in the sky. They heard plane engines, even as they saw they saw those engines crashing to the ground below. Farmers and their families rushed to the site of the crash, but there was no way that they could know that this wasn’t a tragic accident. In fact, they had just witnessed the largest mass murder ever seen in the state of Colorado.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
