  • Wives Murdered During Prison Visits | David Brinson and Anthony Curry
    Aug 18 2025
    Two women walked into California’s Mule Creek State Prison on separate visits, hoping for connection, maybe even healing. Neither walked out alive.

    What began as routine family visits ended in tragedy and exposed disturbing cracks in a system designed to keep families close while keeping the public safe. Why were violent offenders granted this kind of access? And how did two women, loved and cherished by their families, end up dead behind prison walls?

    This week, I'm telling you about the murders of Stephanie Dowells and Tania Thomas, two women whose lives collided with a program that promised rehabilitation but delivered something worse.

    The case of David Brinson and Anthony Curry

  • Florida Physician Accused in Child Exploitation Ring | Stephen Andrew Leedy
    Aug 15 2025
    One of Florida’s most trusted doctors by day… a shadowy figure hiding online by night.

    When a 13-year-old girl was found dead in her bathroom, it seemed at first like a tragedy with no clear answers. But behind the screen, investigators say, someone had been pulling the strings—someone who knew exactly how to stay hidden. What they uncovered led straight to a man no one expected, and the truth would expose a double life more disturbing than anyone imagined.

    This is the case of Dr. Stephen Andrew Leedy.

  • Love on Trial: How a Pennsylvania Judge’s Breakup Turned Deadly | Sonya McKnight
    Aug 13 2025
    In the early hours of a February morning, a 911 call broke the quiet in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. A man, Michael McCoy, had woken from sleep with blinding pain and realized he couldn’t see. His girlfriend, well-known local judge Sonya McKnight, told dispatchers she had no idea what happened.

    But as investigators dug deeper, the story inside that house began to change. What they uncovered would lead to a trial watched closely across the state… and a verdict that ended a judicial career.

  • From Second Chances to a Second Murder in the Historic Snowden House | Travis Lewis
    Aug 11 2025
    The historic Snowden House in Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas, had seen its share of tragedy from the first murders in the town - by 16 year old Travis Lewis. But in March 2020, another emergency call brought deputies racing to the mansion. Inside, they found its owner, Martha McKay, dead—and the scene told a story that was as disturbing as it was unclear.

  • Levittown Man Killed His Stepmom, Sister, and Ex - Then Tried to Disappear | Andre Gordon Jr
    Aug 6 2025
    Two 911 calls. Two families. And one gunman who knew exactly who he was looking for.

    On a quiet Saturday morning in March 2024, the calm in Levittown, Pennsylvania, was shattered by gunfire, and it started with a stolen car and a ghost gun. Within minutes, three people were dead, including a mother and her 13-year-old daughter.

    But this wasn’t random. And this wasn’t over.

    In this episode, we follow the manhunt for 26-year-old Andre Gordon Jr., from the break-ins to the hostage scare, to the moment police finally took him down. What made him snap? And how did no one see it coming?

    Listen now. Some rampages don’t come with a warning.

  • Doctor by Day, Killer by Night - A Son Exposes His Father | John Boyle Jr.
    Aug 4 2025
    Just after 3 a.m. on December 31, 1989, Collier Boyle heard the sound of raised voices, followed by two loud thuds, and then nothing. By morning, his mother, Noreen, was missing. His father, John Boyle Jr., claimed she’d left for a trip, but the suitcase she always used was still there, untouched. So was her purse.

    Collier asked questions that no one seemed willing to answer. As suspicion grew, so did the weight of what he knew. Eventually, it would be his voice—his testimony—that unraveled the story his father tried so hard to hide.

    This episode traces the truth behind Noreen Boyle’s disappearance and the courage of a boy who spoke up, even when it meant turning in his own father.

  • 2-Year-Old's Spine was Severed, Mother's Ex Said It Was an Accident | Travis Thompson
    Aug 1 2025
    When a mother left for work one May morning in Ocala, FL she thought her two-year-old daughter was in safe hands. Just 25 minutes later, she got a call from her ex, Travis Thompson, that would unravel everything she thought she knew. Jacklyn Schwingel was unresponsive—barely breathing—and nothing about the story added up. Doctors suspected abuse. The timeline didn’t make sense. And what came next would uncover something far more disturbing than anyone was prepared for.

    This is the case of Jacklyn Schwingel. A child whose cries went unheard until it was too late.

    If you suspect child abuse, call the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-Child or 1-800-422-4453, or go to www.childhelp.org. All calls are toll-free and confidential.
    The hotline is available 24/7 in more than 170 languages.
