    The Epstein Scandal (Part One: The Money Had To Come From Somewhere)
    Nov 26 2025
    "He stood out as this young guy in this weird coat."

    In 1991, business magnate Leslie Wexner signed a general power of attorney that gave Jeffrey Epstein authority to act on his behalf in nearly all matters of business and finance. The document allowed Epstein, a young financial consultant that Wexner had just met a few years prior, to sign checks, open and close bank accounts, buy and sell property, transfer assets, and borrow money in Wexner's name. The scope of the arrangement was unparalleled.

    The decades prior to this saw Epstein ascend through the financial world in remarkable fashion. The son of public servants, Epstein grew up in a middle-class household in Brooklyn. His early adulthood was rife with failure and a lack of any significant accomplishments. Yet, by his 40th birthday, Epstein was managing billions of dollars in wealth and property...

  • Encephalitis Lethargica

    Encephalitis Lethargica
    Nov 11 2025
    "No fiction author would have had the temerity to invent a disorder of such incredible clinical diversity and puzzling behavior."

    In the winter of 1916-1917, as World War I raged, physicians in Europe began noticing bizarre cases of brain illness. Thousands arrived at hospitals with high fevers, headaches, confusion, and a host of other factors - suspected at first to be meningitis or even poisoning - yet none of the explanations fit. What all of these patients shared was either an overwhelming drowsiness or psychotic agitation.

    By late 1918, as the great influenza pandemic struck, this new "sleeping sickness" had spread across Europe and Beyond. Earlier that year, outbreaks were noted in England and the first American case was reported in September. By 1919, enough cases had surfaced worldwide that health officials realized they faced an epidemic of a baffling new illness...

  • The Villisca Axe Murders (Part Two: Ghosts On The Rails)

    The Villisca Axe Murders (Part Two: Ghosts On The Rails)
    Oct 31 2025
    "The slaying of the entire family promises to become a mystery which will take much time to unravel..."

    By the first anniversary of the Villisca murders, the Moore house stood shuttered. The local sheriff had nothing new to add to the case file. Evidence had spoiled, witnesses had drifted, and rumor had begun to harden into folklore.

    In the years that would follow, several suspects would be presented to local officials, including drifters and men with a prior history of violence. But one after another, all were compared to the evidence and found lacking, resulting in a case that remains unsolved more than a century later...

  • The Villisca Axe Murders (Part One: A Town Asleep)

    The Villisca Axe Murders (Part One: A Town Asleep)
    Oct 27 2025
    "Call the marshal. Tell him to come quick. There's something awful in there."

    On the morning of 10 June 1912, Mary Peckham stepped out her back door to hang her laundry. Her house stood next to the Moore family's home in Villisca, Iowa; close enough that she could usually hear the soft chaos of their mornings. The Moores were early risers, and their routine rarely varied.

    That morning, though, the house next door was silent. And that stillness unsettled Mary Peckham. She eventually sought help and had a Moore relative drop by to check in on the family. What they found would make the town's very name synonymous with horror...

  • Race Against Terror w/Jake Tapper

    Race Against Terror w/Jake Tapper
    Oct 7 2025
    On this special episode of Unresolved, Micheal is joined by bestselling author and CNN lead anchor Jake Tapper to discuss his new book, Race Against Terror, a nonfiction thriller that begins on a crowded refugee ship in the Mediterranean and ends in a courtroom in Brooklyn.

    The book revolves around Ibrahim Sulieman Adnan Harun, also known as Spin Ghul ("The White Rose"), an al-Qaeda jihadist who was prosecuted for his actions during the War on Terror; as well as the family of an American soldier killed during an ambush by Spin Ghul. Along the way, you get to meet the officials involved in the decade-long case, many of whom spent years working on it in various ways.

    During this conversation, Micheal and Jake discuss the book, what drew Jake to the story, what Spin Ghul's prosecution may mean for the future, how it relates to current events, and so much more.



    Thanks to Jake Tapper for chatting with us, and make sure to check out his new book, Race Against Terror, wherever you can find it!

  • Julie Mott

    Julie Mott
    Oct 6 2025
    "We just want our daughter's remains returned so we can have some closure to our grief."

    On 15 August 2015, employees at the Mission Park Funeral Chapels North in San Antonio, TX closed up for the evening. They'd just held a service for a young woman named Julie Mott who had perished after a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis. By 4:30 PM that Saturday, the doors were locked and the ADT alarm system was set.

    When staff returned to the facility the following morning, they were surprised to see that Julie's casket had been moved from an empty hallway and now rested in a strange position near an exit door. And inside the casket, there was nothing. Her remains were missing...
