In this final episode of Letâs Go To Court, Kristin takes us full circle â with a con man.
In his hometown of Wellsville, New York, Paul Ceglia was known for his dishonesty. He always had a scheme going. He often got caught. In fact, he got caught in 2009 running a fraudulent business. But our pal Paul claims that it was in that dark moment, with the government coming after him, he discovered something incredible. While going through his old files, he found a contract that had been signed by an 18-year-old Mark Zuckerberg. According to that contract, Paul was the rightful owner to 84% of Facebook.
And now for a note about our process. For this episode, Kristin read a bunch of articles, then spat them back out in her very limited vocabulary. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.

Bill Mowbray was *the* Cadillac dealer in Brownsville, Texas. His dealership spanned five acres. His financial success seemed undeniable. He had a massive home. He had two condos on the beach. He owned exotic birds. But beneath the surface, Bill struggled. He had a spending problem. He had multiple affairs. He struggled with suicidal ideation. So, when he died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, investigators didnât immediately question his wife, Freda Susie Mowbray.

On March 16, 1968, members of the United States Army carried out a mass murder against unarmed Vietnamese civilians. They killed 504 people. Two hundred and ten of the murder victims were under the age of 13. Afterward, military leadership did their best to cover up the massacre. They didnât anticipate that a few brave people would tell the truth.

Allen Roberts returned home, annoyed. A man named Sam Wagner had set up an appointment with him to talk about purchasing some land. Allen had gone out to meet Sam, but the man never showed. Now Allen found himself back home and, strangely, alone. His wife, Martha âDoeâ Roberts was nowhere to be found. That was unlike her. She never left the house without at least writing a note.

Well folks, thereâs no easy way to say this, so weâll get right to it. In this episode, we announce that the podcast is coming to an end.
Thank you all for being part of this community. The past six years have been absolutely wild. Weâve laughed, weâve cried, weâve⊠talked about buttholes. (Too often, perhaps??)
Many of you have been part of this community for years. We appreciate your warmth, your support, and your willingness to cackle along with two very goofy grown women.
Weâre blown away by how big this little indie podcast has become. We started with one microphone on a TV tray, and weâre ending on March 29 & 30th with two sold out live shows. What a way to go. We couldnât have done it without you.
As you can probably imagine, this decision wasnât an easy one. We talk about it quite a bit on this episode. Arriving at this decision has been tough, but we know that it will free us up to do what weâre meant to do. For Brandi, thatâll mean spending more time with her family, having *just one* full-time job, and getting out of content creation. For Kristin⊠well, first she has to get her butthole back from Brandi. After that? Who knows!
Thank you all again for being part of this community. Youâre the skeeziest scunches in all the land, the best listeners this side of the mighty Mississipâ, and the meanest Bob Mosses this town has ever seen. We appreciate you.
âŠ.
And now that youâre good and bummed, please hang in there for a truly disgusting story. This week, Kristin tells us about Dr. Harvey Wiley, whose relentless hard work led to the creation of Americaâs first consumer protection laws. We guarantee youâll never look at milk the same way again.

Jason Young called his sister-in-law in a panic. He told her that heâd been looking on Ebay for a purse to buy for his wife Michelle. Like a dummy, heâd printed out a few of the purses heâd been eyeballing, and then heâd left the papers in the printer and gone out of town for a business trip. He worried that Michelle would spot the printouts and ruin the surprise. Jasonâs sister-in-law, Meredith Fisher, agreed to help out. But when Meredith arrived at the home, she sensed that something was amiss.

In the dead of winter, 1979, a man called his local police station with concerns. Heâd been staying at the Blue Mill Inn and had just been on the phone with the motelâs desk clerk when heâd heard something unusual. It sounded as if someone had gotten into the office. Perhaps the person had been intent on robbing the motel? The caller heard the desk clerk, Janet Chandler, say âdonât take it all, sir.â When police arrived at the motel, they discovered money missing from the register. Janet Chandler was nowhere to be found.
A day later, a snowplow driver discovered Janetâs body by the side of the road. The murder of 22-year-old Janet Chandler shocked the small community of Holland, Michigan. Who had murdered Janet? And why? For decades, those questions went unanswered.

Michelle Boat was livid. Her husband of more than 20 years, Nicholas Boat, wanted a divorce. Nicholas told Michelle that heâd found someone new â a woman named Tracy Mondabough. Michelle began stalking Tracy. She stalked Nicholas, too. She left Nicholas terrifying voicemails in which she threatened to kill Tracy. So, when Tracy was brutally murdered, investigators immediately had a top suspect.

Darren Berg was a bit of a scammer. He scammed his fraternity brothers at the University of Oregon. He scammed a Portland bank. Following each scam, Darren received a slap on the wrist. So was it any surprise that Darren moved onto bigger scams? (No. The answer is no.) By the mid-2000s, Darren was running a $150 million dollar Ponzi scheme. He had two yachts, two private jets, and a sweet hot tub to show for it.

Melvin Eugene Hanson was dead. The 46-year-old had apparently passed away in his doctorâs office after heâd called to complain about chest pain. Right away, investigators were suspicious. Why had Melvinâs doctor encouraged him to come into the office? Why not tell him to go to the emergency room? Dr. Richard Boggs was quick to provide an answer. He said that Melvin didnât trust other doctors. But investigators couldnât shake the feeling that something was off.

Michael was terrified⊠and frankly, confused. Two masked men had just broken into his Newport Beach home. Theyâd beaten him mercilessly. Theyâd threatened him with a gun. Theyâd zip tied his wrists and ankles. And then, they demanded money. Michael offered them everything he had, but it wasnât good enough. They wanted a million dollars, cash. Michael told them the truth â he didnât have that kind of money. But they didnât believe him. Soon, a third intruder joined in. The captors took Michael and his roommate, Mary Barnes, out to the Mojave Desert, where they demanded that he dig up the million dollars. But Michael couldnât appease them.
