This episode is a deep-dive true crime narrative on Samuel Bateman, a Colorado City man who declared himself prophet of a breakaway FLDS splinter group after Warren Jeffs's imprisonment, took at least 20 wives including 10 underage girls, and was ultimately sentenced to 50 years in federal prison plus 24 years in Arizona. It lands because it traces how a power vacuum inside an insular community enabled fresh abuse — and how a handful of brave insiders and informants finally broke it.
This episode weaves together three survival stories — Stephanie Slater, Thad Phillips, and Crystal Searles — each of whom faced a killer in 1990s England, Wisconsin, and Texas, fought to stay alive, and ultimately got away, though not everyone in their stories made it home.
This episode tells the harrowing true crime story of Colleen Slemmer, a 19-year-old woman murdered in 1995 at a Job Corps center in Knoxville, Tennessee, by her fellow student Krista Pike and her boyfriend Daryl Shipp. The case spiraled into a decades-long saga of violence, cult-like behavior, a death sentence, and a botched execution in 2026 that left the victim’s family without closure and reignited national debate over capital punishment.
This episode investigates the decades-long mystery of Renee MacRae and her three-year-old son Andrew, who vanished in 1976 in Scotland, culminating in the 2022 conviction of Bill McDowell for their murders—though their remains have never been found. The case, marked by affair, deception, and forensic breakthroughs, underscores the enduring trauma of unresolved loss.
This episode chronicles the harrowing 34-year investigation into the 1991 Austin yogurt shop murders, where four teenage girls were brutally killed in a case that nearly went cold. It reveals how flawed police tactics led to the wrongful conviction of four innocent teenagers, and how advances in DNA technology and relentless detective work ultimately identified the true killer: a previously unknown serial murderer.
This episode is a deep dive into the real Lizzie Borden murder case of 1892, contrasting it with the wildly inaccurate and sensationalized Netflix series Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. The host passionately argues that the show disrespects real victims, fabricates relationships and crimes, and prioritizes shock value over truth.
Kenna Renee Harper survived a near-fatal poisoning attempt by her mother at age 10, an act rooted in addiction, mental illness, and profound dysfunction. Despite years of silence, trauma, and manipulation, she has reclaimed her narrative, becoming a survivor advocate and founder of Unbound Legacy Co., a purpose-driven apparel brand that supports children with adverse childhood experiences.
This episode investigates the harrowing 1994 case of Susan Smith, a South Carolina mother who falsely claimed her two young sons were carjacked by a Black man, only to confess nine days later that she had drowned them by driving her car into a lake. The story reveals a tragic intersection of personal trauma, systemic racism, media manipulation, and mental illness.
