  • On November 30, 2021, when Ethan Crumbley opened fire on his classmates at Oxford High School killing four students, the reactions to this modern American phenomenon were sadly familiar. The events that unfolded in the aftermath of the Michigan shooting, however, were anything but. The teenage assailant’s parents, Jennifer and James, were thrust into the national spotlight, when, in an unprecedented turn of events, the two were charged in connection with their son’s acts of violence. Raising questions about parental responsibility, agency and what could   have been done to prevent the heartbreaking tragedy, Law and Crime presents the most in-depth analysis to date – exploring these complex questions and more by taking you behind the scenes of the historic trials of Jennifer and James Crumbley in SINS OF THE CHILD.

    Former YouTube “momfluencer” Ruby Franke was known for her no-nonsense parenting style, but authorities now say that "tough love" was actually child abuse. Franke's 12-year-old son escaped from the Utah home of her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, where he was reportedly starved and tied up with duct tape alongside his sister. As law enforcement dug deeper, they uncovered torture, injuries, and emotional harm inflicted by Franke and Hildebrandt. Law&Crime takes you behind the scenes, from Ruby and Jodi's path to internet stardom, to the investigation that brought them down. We also take you inside the courtroom as they face justice in this Law&Crime original podcast, The Rise and Fall of Ruby Franke.

  • Maybe you’ve heard the true crimes and deplorable nature of Peter Scully before. Maybe you remember when that evil twisted video “Daisy’s Destruction” was being passed around online. Hopefully you were smart enough to press delete if ever you received this horrible video. Regardless of your familiarity with “No LimitsFun” or Peter Scully, this deep web/dark web story is one you shouldn't start with.

    The monster running this web is disgusting. Who is Daisy? Who is Lieyzel Margallo? Where is Marshal Ruskin? What does Matthew Graham have to do with this? Who burned down the building housing evidence? Do I even want to know what “hurtcore” is?

    I’ll answer what I can in the deep web true crime documentary but this is totally unpleasant. There are no two ways around this video. Peter Scully and Daisy’s Destruction are evil and disturbing. I’m MrBlack and this is The Disturbing Truth.

The cruelty of this true crime/true horror story is hard to fathom. It's soul destroying. Hollywood. Money. Fortune. Fast cars. None of that can buy a narcist a conscience.

    But why would Blake Leibel do what he did. It's scary. It's cruel. It's disturbing. It's true horror that will take your sleep away by stimulating your heartbeat. Join me as we search for understanding and answers.
