In this episode, we dive into one of the most creative—and ill-fated—contraband plots in recent history. In February 2025, two Colorado teenagers were caught outside USP Pollock in Louisiana with an industrial-grade compressed-air cannon and nearly $200,000 worth of methamphetamine and tobacco.
Their plan, dubbed "Operation Up & Over," was to launch the massive haul over the prison’s high-security perimeter. We discuss the "arms ra...
The Oklahoma State Fair is a beloved tradition, but for some families, it’s the place where everything went wrong. In this episode, we examine two chilling cases that began at the fairgrounds.

Six years later, sisters Cheryl Genzer and Lisa Pennington vanished after a night at the fair. Their murders ...

Investigators used Uber GPS data and surveillance footage—which showed the vehicle stationary for roughly 25 ...

Discover how this decision made them social p...
Within minutes of his release from the San Bernardino County Central Detention Center on May 9, 2025, Manuel Nunez-Palomino was quickly re-arrested and taken back into custody.
