  • The TikTok Murder Pipeline: D4vd, Runaway Victims, and the Cost of Viral Fame

    The TikTok Murder Pipeline: D4vd, Runaway Victims, and the Cost of Viral Fame
    Oct 2 2025

    The pursuit of viral fame on TikTok has created a dark undercurrent in the world of true crime. This episode exposes the alarming pattern of TikTok stars hiding violent reality behind their polished online personas, leading to shocking consequences. We examine crimes intertwined with the app, some happening right now in 2025.

    We dive into the chilling, developing case of musician D4vd (David Anthony Burke). His rise to fame with the hit song "Romantic Homicide" was shattered when the decomposed body of 15-year-old runaway Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in his Tesla in the Hollywood Hills.

    Viral Lives, Violent Ends: Other TikTok True Crimes

    D4vd's story is not an isolated incident. The pressure to maintain a perfect online image has driven others to commit unthinkable acts:

    • JinnKid (Ali Abulaban): The double murder committed by influencer Ali Abulaban (JinnKid). He used a listening app on his five-year-old daughter's iPad to spy on his estranged wife, Ana, before executing her and her friend, Rayburn Barron.

    • The Bukhari Murders: The ruthless blackmail and double murder plot involving UK mother-daughter TikTok duo Mahek Bukhari and Ansreen Bukhari. They killed two victims,

    • Saqib Hussain and Hashim Ijazuddin, to protect Mahek's influencer career and their reputation.

    • Sarah Grace Patrick: The manipulative case of a 17-year-old who used TikTok to post grieving videos after allegedly murdering her own parents, all while secretly pitching her family's tragedy to true crime influencers and bloggers.

    This episode examines how technology has become a double-edged sword, creating new motives for murder and giving people tools for manipulation and deception.

  • MURDER: Thabo Bester: The Facebook Rapist and the Doctor Who Helped Him Escape Prison

    MURDER: Thabo Bester: The Facebook Rapist and the Doctor Who Helped Him Escape Prison
    Sep 30 2025
    The official story was that convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester died in a South African prison fire on May 3, 2022, but the truth was far more shocking: he had faked his own death with a stolen corpse and easily walked out of a maximum security prison. Known as "The Facebook Rapist" for luring women with fake international modeling opportunities, Bester was serving a 30-year sentence for the rape and robbery of two women and the murder of his girlfriend, Nomfundo Tyhulu, in 2011. In this episode, we unravel the chaotic details of his escape and his life on the run: The Fake Death: An investigation into the cell fire and the burned remains raised immediate suspicion. The body used to stage his death was later confirmed to have died before the fire from blunt force trauma to the head, and DNA did not match Bester . The Accomplice: Dr. Nandipha Magudumana (Dr. Nandi): Celebrity physician Dr. Nandi, who claimed to be Bester's customary law wife, was his essential partner in crime. She initially collected the body and was later spotted shopping with Bester, aiding his life as a fugitive. She is a glamorous doctor who had it all, but chose a criminal life as a "cold-blooded accomplice". Life as a Fugitive: Before his escape was confirmed, Bester was running multiple scam companies from prison. After walking out, he continued his fraudulent schemes with Dr. Nandi, meeting clients and living in a rented mansion until their arrest in Tanzania in April 2023. This incredible true crime saga is also the subject of the Netflix docuseries, Beauty and the Bester. Thank you to this week’s sponsors! Take care of your liver with Dose!

  • The Killing of Professor Dan Markel: The Adelson Family's Web of Deceit (Part 2)

    The Killing of Professor Dan Markel: The Adelson Family's Web of Deceit (Part 2)
    Sep 25 2025
    In the gripping second part of the Daniel Markel case we delve deeper into the intricate web of deceit surrounding the murder-for-hire plot. This episode focuses on the trials of the two masterminds behind the shocking crime: Charlie and Donna Adelson. Charlie Adelson's Trial: The episode begins with the conviction of Charlie Adelson. The state's case was built on compelling evidence, including audio recordings from a Miami restaurant where Charlie discussed killing a blackmailer or a police officer. The money trail connecting the Adelson family's dental practice to Katie Magbanua, the ex-girlfriend of the hitman, also played a crucial role. Charlie took the stand in his own defense, claiming he was being extorted by the hitmen. This defense was ultimately not believed by the jury, leading to his conviction for first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation. Donna Adelson's Arrest and Trial: Just seven days after her son's conviction, the matriarch, Donna Adelson, was arrested at Miami International Airport as she and her husband, Harvey, were attempting to flee to Vietnam, a non-extradition country. Key evidence against her included monitored phone calls where she discussed fleeing the country and a recording where she was overheard mulling over extradition policies and reading text messages from her daughter, Wendi. During her trial, testimony from her fellow inmates revealed her attempts to orchestrate false testimony and her admission of her role in the murder. The verdict was unforgettable, as Donna gasped dramatically when she was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy, and solicitation, becoming the fifth person convicted in Dan's murder. The Family's Web of Lies: The podcast also uncovers new details about the involvement of other family members. Wendi Adelson, Dan's ex-wife, testified under immunity but was confronted with her past inconsistencies about her knowledge of the murder plot. It was also revealed that Donna and Wendi had a deep knowledge of Dan's daily routine, and Wendi's ex-boyfriend testified that she once mentioned Charlie looking into a hitman for $15,000. Legacy and Justice: The episode concludes with the powerful impact of the case on Dan Markel's parents, Ruth and Phil Markel. Their advocacy led to a new law and a long-awaited reunion with their grandsons. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

I like the banter and that they explain things that they don't know cuz we don't know them either. I don't like it when they put themselves down.

with all the options for true crime this is a podcast to prioritize. if you aren't into small talk don't the whole thing for just 30 secs. after a while they feel like friends.

I recently stumbled upon this podcast. I just started and am going in order. I binged on quite a few these past few days.

I like how they cover more "unknown" cases, at least for me.

I like their tone of voices and interactions.

I am a mom of 2 young kids, so I'm right in their demographic.... but so far, so good!

Enjoyable!
