  • Gannon Stauch went missing on January 27th, 2020. His stepmom, LeTecia Stauch, was the last person to see him alive, at around 3:15 p.m. on Jan. 27. This was right before he left for a friend’s house nearby. She said she reported him missing when he didn’t come home two hours later. Her odd behavior during interviews has caused the public to speculate she might be involved. Gannon is still missing and the search has been called off, however the investigation still continues.

The case of Andrea Yates is much deeper and complicated than the horror on the surface. How did her husband make them live? Why did they keep having children after the doctors warned them of the potential tragedy if they did. Andrea’s case is a rare case that went on to see a new trial and a new sentence based on insanity. Join us today as we discuss the tragic case of Andrea Yates.

  • Between December 1989 and September 1990, the bodies of several men were found murdered along the highways of Florida. Eventually, the crimes would be traced back to a woman named Aileen Wuornos. Aileen claimed that she was picked up by the men when she was working as a prostitute and that she shot them in self-defense after they attempted to assault her. Aileen would go on to be convicted for numerous murders and received several death penalties.

    While the crimes she committed were shocking there were other aspects of her case that gained media attention. Her lesbian lover betrayed her and convinced Aileen to confess to the murders. Her own lawyer, as well as the police involved in the case, exploited their positions for monetary gain. A born again Christian adopted Aileen and began charging money for interviews. What happens behind the scenes of big headlines in high profile murder cases? How much money is there in the business of being a serial killer? What does someone's life look like who has been betrayed by everyone they know? Join us this week as we discuss the case of Aileen Wuornos.

  • On October 25, 1994, Susan Smith contacted the police with a horrifying story. Susan stated that she had been carjacked and that the assailants had taken her car with her two young sons in it.

  • Ezra McCandless stumbled onto a farmer's porch disheveled and confused with dried blood on her and the word BOY carved into her arm. She claimed that she was attacked. What unraveled through investigations and police interviews over the next few days was a tangled web woven between a group of friends and at the center of it all was Ezra.

    Police would find her abandoned car with the deceased body of her ex-boyfriend, Alexander Woodworth, hanging out of the backseat. Ezra would allege that he assaulted her and she wrestled the knife from him and proceeded to stab him 16 times.

    Ezra was caught in a string of lies and charged with his death. Did she kill him to manipulate another man back into her arms? Did Alex snap and suddenly decide to attack Ezra on a lonely dirt road after their car got stuck in the mud?

    Today we discuss the trial of Ezra Mccandless.

    When this trial took place so many people began drawing comparisons between Ezra and Jodi Arias
    Today we want to talk about the Ezra Trial but also the similarities between these women and their crimes.

  • Jodi Arias was convicted of stabbing her ex Boyfriend Travis Alexander 29 times before shooting him and slitting his throat. What followed was a trial that took the world by storm. Jodi loved the attention of the press and gave multiple interviews. Her lack of empathy toward her victim shocked people. Jodi was represented by Laurence "Kirk" Nurmi. He was the former lead defense attorney for Jodi Arias. Kirk wrote a tell-all book that would end his career in law for breaking the attorney-client privilege. People often vilify defense attorneys for representing the worst of the worst. What do those defense attorneys really think of their clients? How did Kirk view Jodi Arias? In this podcast, we analyze Jodi’s behavior and review the book that gave an intimate behind the scenes view of how Jodi Arias really is.

  • Chris Watts killed his pregnant wife and two daughters in Colorado. He disposed of their bodies at his work site. The two girls were placed in an oil tank and his wife was placed in a shallow grave. After doing several blundering TV interviews, it had become apparent to the public and authorities that he was lying. After intense questioning from authorities, Chris finally confessed to the murders. He is currently serving life in prison without parole.

    Lena Derhally published “My Daddy Is A Hero: How Chris Watts Went From Family Man To Family Killer. In her book, Derhally writes both a story based on the tragic events as well as a research-based look at Christopher Watts and the case through the lens of various psychological dynamics.

    In this podcast, we review the book and offer our opinions on the findings and the case.

  • Family Annihilator Christopher Coleman had it all. He was head of security for Joyce Meyers Ministries making a six-figure income. He was married to a woman by the name of Sheri and they had two sons Garett, 11, and Gavin, 9.

    When Christopher began receiving threatening emails from an unknown sender, those who surrounded him grew concerned. Christopher was on the treadmill at the gym early one morning when he became worried because he was unable to reach his wife. He asked a neighbor to go over and check on them. The neighbor, a detective, discovered the remains of Christopher's family along with spray-painted threats on the walls. It would appear that whoever sent the emails had wiped out the Coleman family.

    During interrogations, it became painfully obvious that the true enemy of the family was within the family. What makes men like Coleman snap? Why do they feel they can get away with the ultimate sin?

  • In Episode two, Awen Rees and I continue analyzing and discussing Dr. Reid's findings on the James Holmes case. Today, we discuss his family, the event, the trial and some updates on what has happened to James in the last few years.

    Summary from episode 1
    On July 20th, 2012, James Holmes walked into the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. The Dark Knight movie, an installment of the Batman series, was playing a special midnight showing to celebrate the release. After suiting up in tactical gear and arming himself with multiple firearms, James reentered the movie theater through an emergency exit he left propped open. After releasing a canister of tear gas, James opened fired on the crowd. When he was done, 12 members of the audience would be left dead and 58 people injured, many paralyzed for life. The nation was stunned and forever changed. What made James inflict such brutality on so many innocent lives?

    Dr. Reid, a Psychiatrist, would spend over twenty hours interviewing James to gain insight into his motivations. The videotaped sessions were eventually released, as well as, a book by Dr. Reid on his findings. Join Awen Rees and I as we discuss the case and Dr. Reid’s findings.
