    Sara and Michael Colucci
    Nov 10 2025
    On the evening of May 20, 2015, a frantic 911 call came in from a jewelry store in Goose Creek, South Carolina. The caller, Michael Colucci, told dispatchers that his wife, Sara, had tried to take her own life, and that he was performing CPR. When first responders arrived, they found Sara outside the couple’s business, The Gold Standard, lying near a hose that had been looped over a fence. Michael said she had used it to hang herself. But investigators quickly noticed that parts of his story didn’t add up.As detectives began to piece together what had really happened that night, a much darker picture emerged — one involving financial troubles, personal turmoil, and a marriage under strain. What began as a call for help soon became a homicide investigation that would divide a community and test the boundaries of reasonable doubt.Today's snack: Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts and Chocolate Cake Lovers TwinkiesSupport us on PatreonSources:https://www.newspapers.com/image/442744952/?match=1&terms=%22Sara%20Moore-Colucci%22https://www.fitsnews.com/2024/05/13/colucci-retrial-what-happened-to-sara-coluccis-first-husband/https://www.fitsnews.com/2024/05/01/colucci-retrial-a-family-unraveling/https://www.live5news.com/2025/06/17/judge-dismisses-case-against-summerville-jeweler-charged-wifes-death/https://www.fitsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2024/04/Colucci-Civil-Filing.pdfhttps://www.counton2.com/news/friend-of-sara-colucci-speaks-out-about-rocky-marriage/https://www.jamesadyal.com/obituaries/?filter=colucci https://www.courttv.com/title/sc-v-michael-colucci-the-background/https://crimeandcask.com/michael-colucci-retrial-in-2015-murder-of-wife/https://apnews.com/general-news-e17e883ed3ee41618feec6f92ac4d36ahttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/2HOsbGQN9UEtw87E0R4QzG?si=d6b5cbad1d684f80 https://www.berkeleyobserver.com/2024/03/20/retrial-set-for-berkeley-county-jeweler-accused-of-killing-wife/https://crimeandcask.com/michael-colucci-retrial-in-2015-murder-of-wife/https://www.courttv.com/title/4-sc-v-colucci-law-enforcement-testimony-pt2/https://www.fitsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2024/04/Ivo-Colucci-incident-report-1.pdf https://www.newspapers.com/image/1215327543/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cup-of-justice/id1668668400?i=1000714337145https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-sunlight/id1573560247?i=1000653535168

    Debbie and Anthony Pignataro - Part 2
    Oct 27 2025
    Dr. Anthony Pignataro was a Buffalo-area plastic surgeon with a taste for luxury and a reputation for confidence (some might say arrogance). He claimed to be an innovator, even creating a bizarre “snap-on hairpiece” that bolted directly to the skull. But beneath the image of success was a trail of questionable surgeries, mounting complaints, and growing chaos at home.

  • Nancy and Robert Kissel - Part 2

    Nancy and Robert Kissel - Part 2
    Oct 13 2025
    Andrew and Robert Kissel grew up just four years apart in a family where wealth and competition went hand in hand. Their father, Bill, was a relentless businessman who demanded success from his sons, and both carried that drive into adulthood in very different ways. Rob built his career as a prominent investment banker, while Andrew often looked for shortcuts in the world of real estate. In 1989, Rob married Nancy Keeshin, a spirited and impulsive woman whose personality contrasted sharply with his serious, ambitious nature. When Rob’s career took the family to Hong Kong, they appeared to be living the dream among the city’s wealthy expatriates. But behind the polished image, cracks in the marriage were starting to show. By November 2003, those tensions reached a breaking point when Rob vanished after a violent fight with Nancy. Soon, the Kissel family name would become infamous on two continents.
