  • FROM THE VAULT: The legendary Eddie Aikau
    Jul 31 2025
    Originally released as a Mini Creep on our Patreon on 12/9/24! Today Mogab tells Kristin all about one of her absolute heroes: The man, the myth, the legend: Eddie Aikau. Eddie was more than just a legendary surfer—he was a true waterman, lifeguard, and Hawaiian icon. Known for riding massive waves at Waimea Bay and for saving hundreds of lives as Oahu’s first lifeguard on the North Shore, Eddie lived his life with courage and aloha. But his story goes deeper than surfing, with a fateful journey on the Hokule’a canoe cementing his place in history and his bittersweet legacy, one that still echoes in Hawaii and beyond.

  • FROM THE VAULT: The Murder of Janett Christman
    Jul 24 2025
    While we're on break, we're busting open the vault and releasing some of our favorite bonus episodes we've done over the years, so please enjoy this bonus episode from 2022!! This is a case that inspired everything from the movie When A Stranger Calls to the urban legend The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs. Think "the call is coming from inside the house." It was March 18, 1950, a truly dark and stormy night. In Columbia, Missouri, 13 year old Janett Christman arrived at the Romack's home to babysit their 3 year old son. The boy was already sleeping when Janett arrived, so it should have been an easy night. But when the Romack's returned late that night, they found a horrible scene. Janett had been raped and strangled with an electric cord. As law enforcement investigates, they are stunned to see so many similarities between Janett's murder and another murder that happened nearby, 4 years previously. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • FROM THE VAULT: The Murder of Marjorie Nugent
    Jul 17 2025
    We're on our break, so enjoy this release of an episode from 2022, originally released exclusively on our Patreon! This is the true story behind the 2012 Richard Linklater movie, Bernie, starring Jack Black, Shirley McClaine, and Matthew McConaughey. It’s about an assistant funeral director, Bernie Tiede, who everyone in town loves, and who befriends a rich, elderly widow named Marjorie Nugent, who nobody likes. Marjorie becomes more and more controlling and more demanding, and Bernie goes to extreme lengths to get out from under her grasp. It’s described as a black comedy, of course with Jack Black at the helm, but after hearing more of the details of the case, it left people wondering: was the real Bernie Tiede the doting saint he was portrayed to be, or a conniving con man?

  • The Murder of Holly Williams
    Jun 19 2025
    This week, we’re covering the shocking double murder of Holly Williams and her boyfriend Bill Lanway who were found shot to death in a car off the highway in Nashville in March 2020. At first, it looked like a tragic car accident, but what police uncovered pointed to something far more sinister. Holly, a Nashville aesthetician with a secret life, had unknowingly become the center of a dangerous web involving blackmail and a hit squad of ex-military operatives, hired not by a cartel or crime boss, but by a wealthy Texas car dealer trying to protect his reputation.

  • The Kilgore Rangerettes Kidnapping
    Jun 13 2025
    It started as a normal evening in Longview, Texas. Dana Blair and her daughter Alexa were packing for a trip to the Cotton Bowl, where Alexa was set to perform for the first time as a Kilgore College Rangerette. But when a woman knocked on their door wearing a wig and covering her face with a greeting card, everything changed. This week, Kristin tells the unbelievable true story of a home invasion and kidnapping driven by drill team drama, Facebook connections, and a shocking grudge. The case would lead police to Nancy Motes, a mother whose obsession with her daughter’s high school dance career escalated into a violent act that no one could have predicted.

  • The Murder of Jorge Torres
    Jun 5 2025
    It’s one of the most bizarre and disturbing cases we’ve covered yet: when Sarah Boone called 911 in 2020 to report her boyfriend dead, she claimed it was all a tragic accident during a game of hide and seek. But the body of Jorge Torres told a different story.... and so did the videos Sarah forgot to delete. This week, we’re diving into the shocking case of Sarah Boone, the Florida woman who said she zipped her boyfriend into a suitcase “as a joke” and then left him there overnight. But investigators quickly found evidence that shattered her version of events, including horrifying footage of Jorge pleading for his life and Sarah laughing in response. We’ll break down the twisted timeline, the toxic relationship history, the long delayed trial, and the controversial use of battered woman syndrome as a defense. Was this a case of reactive abuse pushed to the limit, or calculated revenge? And what does justice look like when both people in a relationship have been hurt?

  • FROM THE VAULT: The Satanic Panic
    May 29 2025
    Due to unforeseen scheduling craziness, we were unable to record an episode this week, so thought we'd drop one of our favorites from the vault! In this bonus episode, Kristin tells Mogab all about the Satanic Panic of the 80's and 90's, starting with the book Michelle Remembers, a controversial "memoir" detailing repressed memories of satanic ritual abuse, and culminating in the McMartin Preschool Trial where several employees at the preschool were accused of performing satanic ritual abuse on children (spoiler... none of it was true).
