Mommy's Little Helper (from "Mother, May I Murder?")
In April 2012, 61-year-old Mark Staudte died on the floor of his home. When the authorities arrived, his wife, Diane, seemed.. .unphased. And the kids were playing video games in the living room. It was... odd. Even odder was when the Staudte son, Sean, ALSO DIED FIVE MONTHS LATER. Shortly thereafter, SEAN'S SISTER SARA WAS ALSO IN THE HOSPITAL DYING OF ORGAN FAILURE. Again, Diane had no questions. So what in the ever loving hell was going on here? You're about to find out, Fam, by way of...
Love Con Revenge: Fallen Soldier
OK, Fam, do that thing where you stretch your fingers and crack you knuckles BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT TO WANT TO PUNCH SOMONE. In 2021, Bridget matched with Ricky on Facebook Dating... which was apparently a thing. Ricky was ex-military and had the severe PTSD AND ADORABLE MILITARY DOG, ZEUS, to prove it. He'd been through hell, including watching his best friend, Clarence, literally take bullets and die for him. And Bridget BECAUSE SHE'S A GOOD, KIND, EMPATHETIC PERSON was three thousand percent...
Dateline: The Silhouette
Debbie Kelly led a fabulous life in San Antonio, TX - a successful career, a giddy group of tennis-playing girlfriends, and a new house. But after she fell for her contractor (who was shadily slow-rolling the construction in order to spend time with her RED FLAG!!!!), things went horrifically wrong. One dark night in their home led to a terrible mistake - or was it? Grab an ice-cold Dr. Pepper and run a comb through your hair, Fam, and follow along with the story with us. Find and watch...
The I-70 Killer (from "People Magazine Investigates")
In the spring of 1992, a madman terrorized the Midwest, killing at least six people and using Interstate 70 as both his killing field and escape route. In one of the most FRUSTRATING cases we've ever covered, there were witnesses, composite sketches, and even surveillance video, but somehow the killer has never been caught. But there were bright spots in the investigation, too - LIKE THE SURVIVOR WHO REFUSED SURGERY WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY A 50% SURVIVAL RATE AND NOW, FULLY RECOVERED...
Worst Neighbor Ever: She Finally Snapped
NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED, FAM! What happens when you open your home FOR FREE to a person in need?

And then sometimes they move across the street where they set their sights on making your life a living hell. AND SOIMETIMES THIS ALL ENDS IN MURDER. Ugh. I need a drink. Do your stretches before this one, Fam, it's gonna make you real, real mad. Find and watch "Worst Neighbor Ever: She...
The Devil in Hammond (from "Murder in the Bayou")
OK, look, we love the bayou. Like, we LOVE IT. The accents, the trees, THE FREAKING GOTHIC VIBES. But what we don't love is the murder. Especially this one. On August 23, 1987, a young mother named Selonia Reed was found murdered in her car about a mile from her home. The clues were few, but there was one that was significant. A cigarette butt. In the pre-DNA 1980s, there wasn't much they could do with it. But, shockingly, it was well preserved. And though it would take THIRTY FIVE YEARS to...
The Cult of the Soulful Journey
Fam, let us ask you a question: Would you ever, say, give up your home, your job, your friends and family to move to move to Minnesota and live in a house where you sleep on the floor in sleeping bags and work FOR FREE for 18 hours a day? Yes? Yes you would? THEN DO WE HAVE THE CULT FOR YOU!!! Ugh, here we go again: sleep deprivation, free labor, AND AN INSUFFERABLE LEADER WHOSE BODY IS CONSTANTLY BEING TAKEN OVER BY SPIRITUAL ENTITIES FROM THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. And the names. THE FREAKING...
Risky Business (from "Killer Relationship")
On January 2014, 46-year-old Jerry Moore was stabbed to death in his home in Marietta, Georgia. When no suspect emerges, Jerry's best friend Randy - WHO HE MET AT A GAY LINE DANCING BAR - presents the cops with a critical piece of information that eventually solves the case. It involves a loser shitbag roommate, a gay bakery, and a CAKE DECORATING ROOM. Jerry's murder was senseless and brutal, but the people he surrounded himself were incredible, and they're all here to tell his story. And so...
A Toxic Love Story
In June 2016, Michelle Hadley was served a restraining order. She was barred from ever again speaking to her ex-boyfriend Ian and his new girlfriend Angela. According to the restraining order, Michelle had been stalking Angela and Ian for months - she'd been making horrible threats against the couple and their soon-to-be-born twins. Michelle was crazy insane. Or was she? Even after watching the documentary three times, we still don't have all the answers, we still don't understand everything...

The Curious Case of... The Corpse Who Came to Dinner
Jean Steven was very close to her sister and her husband. Perhaps a bit... too close. We've got a bit of an odd story today, Fam - straight out of a Hitchcock movie.

Thankfully, the ever-trusty Beth Karas is here to help us sort through the shenanigans. Find and watch "The Curious Case of... The Corpse Who Came to Dinner" on HBO...
Blood on Bourbon Street (from "Fatal Destination")
In July 2003, 34-year-old Shawn Johnson was in New Orleans for a conference. And he did WHAT ANY OF US WOULD DO and tacked on a few days for a little bit of fun. On his last night in town, he found himself at an infamous bar called The Dungeon where he met a group of people who he invited back to his hotel room to fill the hot tub with Champagne and continue the party. Again, like any of us would do. However, Shawn would, tragically, be found dead in the room the following morning. On the...
Worst Ex Ever: Dating the Deadpool Killer
Fam, when they say "Worst Ex Ever" they really aren't kidding here - and giving him the "Deadpool" moniker just because he's got the same name as the comic book character? Yeesh. This creep runs the gamut from theft to selling dogs online to rape and murder - but talks his way out of things thanks to gullible investigators, at least for a time until someone close to him turns the tables. Lots of garbage here, so come scream along with us! Find and watch "Worst Ex Ever: Dating the Deadpool...
Untold: The Shooting at Hawthorne Hill
Fam! We're back in the world of sports today: dressage! Also known as "fancy horse dancing" to us city hicks who'd probably fall off a horse at the first canter (that's a horse-dancing term, right?). ANYWAY, we've got OLYMPIC-level drama with this episode, with former USA team member Michael Barisone now taking on his new student Lauren Kanarek. Heads butt, tempers flare, and eventually... shots are fired. For real. Find and watch "Untold: The Shooting at Hawthorne Hill" on Netflix WE'RE...

And when the police refuse to investigate--he's a grown man, after all, he can go missing if he wants EYE ROLL RAGE EMOJI--the family takes the investigation into their own hands. What unfolds is a bizarre tale of greed, CURSES THAT NEVER HAPPENED, a killer's extremely dysfunctional family--hoooo...
Maternal Instinct
OK, Fam - it's the one you've been waiting for! On October 9, 2020, 27-year-old Taylor Parker was pulled over on a Texas highway. When the cops approached the car, they found a nearly hysterical Parker holding a baby she claimed to have JUST given birth to. It would quickly be revealed that that was a lie. Please, please, PLEASE pull over as you listen to us unravel this shocking and terrifying story of murder, kidnapping, and the most exasperating case of willful blindness and/or TOTAL...
The Yogurt Shop Murders (From "20/20")
Take a deep breath for this one, Fam! On December 6, 1991, four teenaged girls were found sexually assaulted and murdered in an I Can't Believe It's Yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. The yogurt shop was then set on fire. It would take decades, and a series of unforgivable wrongful convictions, for the authorities to catch the real killer killer. This one's a lot, but don't worry, WE'LL DO ALL THE SCREAMING FOR YOU! Find and watch "The Yogurt Shop Murders" on Hulu WE'RE ON YOUTUBE - Want to view...

Journalist Maressa Burke is on a mission: to give the name back to a man in a cemetery known only as "unknown negro."

Devil in the Mountains
A brutal killer is on the loose, stabbing and shooting people at random. Nobody is safe.

The Many Lives of Benjaman Kyle - Part 2
SOOOOOOOO according to Benjaman's brother, Benjaman is totally an ax murderer. Or some kind of murderer anyway. As soon as Benjaman discovers his true identity, things go off the rails. So now we know WHO he is, but what we need to figure out now is WHAT IS HE HIDING AND WHY IS HE HIDING IT. Is he a mafia hit man? Just a total grifter?

The Many Lives of Benjaman Kyle - Part 1
Pull over and gird your loins, Fam, because this one is NUTS and we have a lot of feelings bout it! In 2004, a 64-year-old man is found bloody, beaten AND YES NAKED behind a dumpster in Richmond Hills, Georgia. He claimed complete and total amnesia. As in he said he had no idea whatsoever who he was, how he got there, or anything else. EXCEPT FOR EXACTLY 22 MEMORIES THAT END AT SOME POINT IN THE YEAR 1978. Ummmm, OK! And thus begins the journey of trying to solve the mystery of this man who...
Death in Hell's Kitchen
IT'S PRIDE MONTH AND STILL WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE. Ugh. In 2022, a string of unusual deaths of young gay men rocked the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen, NYC. Well "unusual" only if you're not the NYC cops who just assumed that because these men were gay, and that they died of self-inflicted drug overdoses. But thanks to the friends and loved ones of these victims WHO DEMANDED ACTION, the deaths were finally connected and understood for what they were - a serial killing spree. Join us as...
