This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens)

When Angela Diaz tells police she's being stalked, terrorized, and targeted through a series of increasingly disturbing messages, the evidence seems to point in one direction.

Michelle Hadley.

Ian Diaz's ex-girlfriend.

But as investigators build their case, one question keeps getting harder to answer: Who is Lilith?

In Part 1, we trace the bizarre campaign of emails, fake identities, and escalating threats...

By the time investigators accused Rajesh and Nupur Talwar of killing their daughter Aarushi and Hemraj Banjade, the case had already moved through multiple suspects, disputed forensic evidence, and competing theories of what happened inside the family's Noida home.

In Part 2 of the Aarushi Talwar case, Tyrella and Nikita examine the evidence used against the Talwars, including the golf club and kukri theor...

In 2008, 13-year-old Aarushi Talwar was found dead inside her family's home in Noida, India. Within hours, police had named the family's missing housekeeper, Hemraj Banjade, as their prime suspect. There was one enormous problem: they hadn't searched the entire property.

Tyrella and Nikita walk through the first 24 hours of the Aarushi Talwar case — the locked bedroom, the family's nightly routine, t...

I'm launching something new: Tyrella Off the Record.

If This Feels Criminal is where we slow down, dig deep, and ask the bigger questions, Tyrella Off the Record is where I'll help you keep up with true crime as it's happening. 

Ya'll know I'm following these cases like a hawk and I figured why not talk about them with you?!?

Hearings. Trials. New filings. Breaking case developments. I'm following the...

After nearly six years, Nikita Hand finally walked into a Dublin courtroom and faced Conor McGregor.

In Part 2, we break down the 12-day civil trial: Hand's testimony, McGregor's claim that their encounter was consensual, the CCTV footage the defense said undermined her story, the medical and physical evidence presented to the jury, and the strategies used to challenge Hand's credibility.

Then, after six hours and ten minutes of de...

In 2018, Nikita Hand accused Conor McGregor of raping her in a Dublin hotel. Prosecutors declined to bring criminal charges—but six years later, Hand took McGregor to civil court.

The medical evidence documented extensive injuries. McGregor's DNA placed him at the scene. But prosecutors ultimately declined to bring criminal charges. Nikita Hand didn't stop there.

In Part 1, we walk through what happened that day according to ...

The same week Karen Read's lawsuit went public, the man at the center of it tried to avoid testifying. A month later, a furious judge accused someone of leaking his sealed medical information to the internet — ordered 32 attorneys to certify under oath they weren't responsible, and stopped just short of a gag order.

Then Read's own team fired back, arguing the entire premise was wrong.

This episode: ...

Karen Read walked out of her second trial acquitted. Weeks later, she filed a lawsuit that isn't about whether she killed John O'Keefe — it's about the two police departments that investigated her, and what they knew about the men running that investigation before they ever put them on the case.

This episode: the 87-page complaint Read filed against Massachusetts State Police and the Town of Canton, ...

"I did not kill the president. The doctors did. I merely shot him." That was Charles Guiteau's defense.

In 1881, a failed lawyer and preacher convinced himself he'd single-handedly won James Garfield the presidency — and that the president now owed him a job. When the reward never came, he decided Garfield had to die. In Part 2 of Founding Felons Week, Tyrella and Nikita get into who Guiteau really was and how he got there: t...

Founding Felons is back! A bullet put President James Garfield on the floor of a train station in 1881 — but it wasn't the bullet that killed him.

In Part 1 of Founding Felons Week, Tyrella and Nikita trace the unlikely life of James A. Garfield: the dirt-poor Ohio farm boy who couldn't swim but dreamed of being a sailor, and the self-taught general who went on to win the closest popular-vote electio...

After the guilty verdict, most people wait quietly. Taylor Parker wrote a confession to the murder — and signed it as someone else.

Part 2 is the half the Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct never showed. After she was convicted of capital murder, Taylor Parker ran a months-long jailhouse operation to frame other people for the killing of Reagan Simmons-Hancock — forged confessions, fabricate...

Before she was a Netflix documentary, Reagan Simmons-Hancock had a name, a daughter, and a baby due in weeks. This is the part the cameras skipped.

The Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct tells the story of Taylor Parker, who faked a pregnancy for nearly a year — fake ultrasounds, a silicone belly, even a gender reveal — before committing one of the rarest and most disturbing crimes there is:...

Caysen Allison stabbed a classmate more than once and got 10 years. Karmelo Anthony stabbed Austin Metcalf once and got 35. Both said it was self-defense.

Part 2 opens at Anthony's sentencing in Frisco, Texas — including the victim impact statement from Austin's mother that reframes the whole debate — then sets the case beside a strikingly similar one out of Belton: same self-defense claim, ver...

A handcuffed 17-year-old corrects the officer reading him his situation: "I'm not alleged. I did it." Behind him, 17-year-old Austin Metcalf is dying under a track-meet tent.

In April 2025, Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf — two teenagers from rival Frisco, Texas high schools who'd never met — ended up under the same tent at a district track meet. Four minutes later, one of them was gone, and the case split the intern...

In 2005, Wade Robson swore under oath that Michael Jackson never touched him — and helped win the acquittal. In 2026, he's asking a different jury to believe the opposite.

Part 2 picks up where Netflix's "The Verdict" stops. Tyrella and Nikita get into what the documentary left out: the $20M+ Jordan Chandler settlement, the Robson and Safechuck lawsuits against Jackson's companies, and the credibility questions on both sides ...

Fourteen counts. Not guilty on every single one. Twenty-one years later, Netflix has reopened the case — and one of Michael Jackson's own defense witnesses is about to change his story.

In June 2005, Michael Jackson walked out of a Santa Barbara courtroom acquitted of all 14 child sexual abuse charges. Netflix's new three-part docuseries "The Verdict" revisits that 2005 trial, and in Part 1 Tyrella a...

When Patrick Clancy walked back into that house after 54 minutes, it was silent. Three small children were in the basement. Lindsay was outside on the ground.

Part 2 of TFC's Lindsay Clancy coverage picks up the night of January 24th, 2023 — the minute-by-minute timeline, the phone evidence the prosecution is relying on, and Lindsay's own account of what she says happened once Patrick left. Tyrella and Nikita also break down ...

She was a labor and delivery nurse at Mass General. She screened in the severe range for postpartum depression, told her care team again and again that something was deeply wrong, and checked herself into the top psychiatric hospital in the country. The day after her final psychiatrist appointment, all three of her children were gone.

In Part 1, Tyrella and Nikita walk through who Lindsay Clancy was before...

Five weeks before he died, Christian Obumseli sent his girlfriend a text that read: "Is love going to kill me?" He was dead 33 days later, and she was not arrested for four months.

This is Part 2 of the Christian Obumseli case. Christian was a 27-year-old Nigerian American from Dallas — a former college linebacker, an engineering grad, a guy his whole community called a light in the room. He fell hard for Courtney Clenney, an...
