  • Solved Cold Case: The Murder of Danni Houchins

    Solved Cold Case: The Murder of Danni Houchins
    Apr 14 2026
    In September of 1996, 15-year-old Danielle “Danni” Houchins was found lifeless and face down in a marshy area in Belgrade, Montana. The local sheriff’s department ruled her cause of death as drowning and her manner of death as undetermined. The sheriff told the press that there were no indications of foul play, despite autopsy findings showing the exact opposite. For 24 years, Danni’s case continued to grow cold, despite her family’s insistence that her death wasn’t an accident until a retired LAPD detective entered the chat and refused to quit.

  • The Afroman Trial Explained: White Cops Hear Rap for First Time

    The Afroman Trial Explained: White Cops Hear Rap for First Time
    Apr 7 2026
    What happens when you turn a "bullshit" police raid into a viral rap song? In August 2022, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office raided Afroman’s home looking for a basement dungeon that didn't exist. When no charges were filed, Afroman did what he does best: he made music. Using security and bodycam footage, he released hits like "Lemon Pound Cake" and "Randy Walters," leading seven officers to sue him for defamation and false light. Join Tyrella and Nikita as they break down the March 2026 civil trial, the "actual malice" standard for public officials, and the "diabolically funny" moments in the courtroom—from "reshuffling" seized cash to a witness who didn't know if his own wife had cheated. It’s a masterclass in the First Amendment, parody as criticism, and why you should never mess with Afroman's mom’s pound cake. Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!

  • Operation Shattered Shield: The NOPD’s Most Corrupt Era

    Operation Shattered Shield: The NOPD’s Most Corrupt Era
    Mar 31 2026
    In the early 1990s, New Orleans was known as the "Murder Capital of America," but the most dangerous criminals weren't just on the streets—some were wearing badges. Today on This Feels Criminal, Tyrella and Nikita break down Operation Shattered Shield, the massive FBI sting that exposed deep-seated corruption within the NOPD. We follow the story of the Hardy Brothers, a violent drug syndicate protected by the very officers sworn to stop them. At the center of it all is Officer Len Davis, a man so feared he was nicknamed "The Desire Projects Terrorist." When 32-year-old mother Kim Groves filed a brutality complaint against him, she had no idea she was signing her own death warrant. In this episode, we discuss: The Hardy Boys: How Wayne and Paul Hardy built a drug empire with help from inside the police department. The FBI Sting: How an undercover agent posing as a Miami dealer caught NOPD officers guarding shipments of cocaine. The Betrayal of Kim Groves: The heartbreaking story of a mother who stood up for her community and the chilling moment her murder was caught on an FBI wire. The Aftermath: The fallout of the 2012 DOJ consent decree and the quest for reform in New Orleans. Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!

    The Au Pair Affair Part 2: Brendan Banfield Takes the Stand | The Verdict & Sentencing
    Mar 3 2026
    "It’s easier to fall in love with someone that saved you." Those were the words of Brendan Banfield as he attempted to explain away an affair, a dead wife, and a dead stranger to a jury of twelve. In Part 2 of our deep dive into the VA v. Brendan Banfield trial, we move past the "catfish" plot and into the courtroom moments that sealed the defendant's fate. In this episode, we discuss: Brendan’s Performance: Was he a grieving husband or a cold-blooded manipulator? We analyze his claims that Christine could speak after seven stab wounds to the neck. The Forensic "Gotcha": Why the defense’s own digital investigator became the prosecution’s best witness during cross-examination. The Fatal Flaw: The specific pattern of FetLife logins that proved "Anastasia 9" only existed when Brendan or Juliana were home. The Rebuttal: How a brief testimony from Brendan’s supervisor, T. Smith Patrick, turned a "work meeting" alibi into a documented lie. Closure: The sentencing of Juliana Magalhães and what this case says about the "Double Murder" plot that nearly worked.

  • Au Pair Affair Trial (Brendan Banfield) - Part 1: The Plan and The Prosecution

    Au Pair Affair Trial (Brendan Banfield) - Part 1: The Plan and The Prosecution
    Feb 25 2026
    n the first installment of this explosive trial coverage, we dive into the Commonwealth’s case against federal agent Brendan Banfield. What initially appeared to be a tragic home invasion and the heroic defense of his wife, Christine, quickly unraveled into a twisted plot involving an affair with the family’s 22-year-old au pair, Juliana Magalhaes. We break down the prosecution’s opening statements, which allege Brendan masterminded a "fake rape fantasy" on FetLife to lure an unsuspecting man to his home—setting the stage for a double murder he hoped to blame on an intruder. Hear the chilling details of the initial 911 calls and the star witness testimony of Juliana Magalhaes, who describes the moments Brendan allegedly turned a knife on his own wife.
