In 1976, 20-year-old Tulane student Ken Gutzeit was stabbed to death in front of dozens of witnesses outside his fraternity house. His killer was arrested, and then... nothing happened. No trial. No conviction. No justice. Ken’s case has been largely forgotten, it's mentioned only briefly in Netflix’s Worst Roommate Ever as the event that allegedly changed Jamison Bachman’s life. But the real story is far more disturbing. How does someone commit a public killing with eyewitnesses and a weapon — and walk free?

Originally released on our Patreon in January of 2022. In the summer of 2000, a drug debt set off a chain of events that no one could take back. Ben Markowitz owed money to a local dealer named Jesse James Hollywood. Jesse believed Ben was blowing him off, and what started as frustration quickly turned into something more volatile. Jesse wanted control. He wanted leverage. Then he saw it. While driving around with friends, Jesse spotted Ben’s 15 year old brother Nick walking alone. Jesse told the driver to pull over and they grabbed Nick, forced into the van, and drove away. Instead of being hurt, Nick was taken to Santa Barbara and absorbed into Jesse’s circle. For nearly three days, they partied. Nick was given drugs and alcohol. The atmosphere felt temporary, almost casual. Everyone believed Nick would eventually be taken home. That this was nothing more than a scare tactic. They were wrong.

He was charming, successful, attentive... and seemed almost too good to be true. And for a lot of women across the country, that’s exactly what he was. What started as an online romance quickly turned into whirlwind relationships filled with luxury hotels, expensive dinners, big promises, and a man who always seemed to swoop in at just the right moment. But behind the tailored suits, military uniforms, and impressive résumés was something far darker. As cracks began to form, women started asking the same question: Who is this man, really? What they uncovered was a shocking pattern of deception, stolen identities, and financial devastation—often carried out when his victims were at their most vulnerable. In this episode, we follow the trail of lies, the red flags that were easy to miss in real time, and the women who eventually connected the dots. It’s a story about trust, manipulation, and how one “perfect man” managed to vanish again and again—until he couldn’t anymore.

This week, we’re headed to Dublin, where a silent teenage girl appears out of nowhere on the steps of the GPO. She was shivering, terrified, and seemingly too traumatized to even say her own name. As police scramble to figure out who she is, they uncover drawings that hint at something horrific… and a trail that stretches far beyond Ireland. What starts as a heartbreaking mystery about a possible trafficking victim turns into the twisted, globe-trotting story of Samantha Azzopardi: a woman who slips in and out of identities like costumes, leaving devastated families, terrified teenagers, and baffled authorities in her wake. How does someone build an entire life out of lies, and what does she really get out of it? We’re digging into the many lives of “Con Girl” and the very real damage left behind.

When 40-year-old Rosalio Gutierrez Jr. didn’t send his usual good-morning text, his girlfriend, Sadie, felt that little prickle of worry that’s impossible to ignore. By the time she reached his Kenosha apartment the next day, that worry had turned into something much darker. The patio door was open. Something red was splattered near the entrance. And inside… well, nothing could have prepared her for what she saw through the blinds. Rosalio was nowhere to be found, although the living room told a story no one ever wants to walk into. As detectives begin unraveling what happened inside that apartment, they are quickly pulled into a messy triangle involving a jealous ex, months of stalking behavior, hidden cell phones, late-night spying, and a van that suddenly smells suspiciously like bleach. When police discover a tiny speck of blood that changes everything, the investigation explodes in a whole new direction. But for all the evidence, one thing is still missing: Rosalio.

Investigators begin to unravel Nathan’s story: his strange calm, his inconsistencies, and a drift path that doesn’t add up. Civil battles follow: an insurance fight over Chicken Pox, and a slayer-statute case that could strip him of his inheritance. Years later, a federal indictment connects his grandfather’s shooting to his mother’s disappearance at sea. With no body, no murder weapon, and a family at war, what, if anything, can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt?

This episode as well as Part 2 are available ad free at all levels on the Patreon for the first week of release! A cargo ship spots a lone life raft 115 nautical miles south of Martha’s Vineyard. Inside is 22-year-old Nathan Carman. He's alert, steady on his feet, and claiming he’s survived seven days at sea after his fishing boat, Chicken Pox, sank. His mother, Linda, was on the boat with him and is now missing. As investigators press for answers, red flags pile up: no mayday call, an oddly pristine survivor, and a family history that reads like Dynasty meets Shakespeare, complete with a murdered patriarch, a sprawling fortune, and bitter rivalries. Is Nathan just misunderstood… or the common thread in two catastrophes?

When police arrived at the Gonzales family home in Sydney, Australia, they were met with a gruesome scene: three family members brutally murdered, and their only surviving relative, 20-year-old Sef Gonzales, sobbing hysterically in the driveway. At least, that’s what it looked like. It didn’t take long for detectives to realize something was off. The supposed break-in appeared staged, Sef’s story didn’t line up, and those dramatic tears? Completely dry. What followed was one of the most shocking and twisted murder investigations in Australian history, a story of lies, greed, and a son so desperate for approval and money that he would destroy everything in his path. This week, we’re diving into the horrifying case of Sef Gonzales and the murders of his family, a chilling reminder that sometimes the monster isn’t lurking outside your home… he’s living inside it.

It was Thanksgiving Day, 2012, in the small town of Little Falls, Minnesota. That morning, cousins Nick Brady and Haile Kifer set out to visit family for dinner. But when they never showed up, their loved ones were thrown into a desperate search. By the next day, their worst fears were confirmed—Nick and Haile had been killed inside the home of 64-year-old Byron Smith. At first glance, it looked like a tragic but lawful case of self-defense under Minnesota’s Castle Doctrine. Smith claimed he’d been terrorized by repeated break-ins and had finally snapped when the teens entered his home. But the investigation revealed something far more chilling: Byron Smith hadn’t been caught off guard. He’d been lying in wait. This week, we dive into the audio recordings that changed everything, the trial that divided the community, and the chilling words Smith used to justify what he’d done, which leaves us with the question: was this self defense… or murder?
