Description
Truth is stranger than fiction...and reality tv stars know this better than anyone. They are personally intertwined with the world’s most extraordinary happenings, mysterious people and bizarre crimes than anyone else.
The truth is, while being a reality star and putting their lives out there does have its perks, it also makes them an easy target and more susceptible to criminal behavior.
That’s why so many reality stars have a story…it happened to them, their friend, their family…a house break-in, a hostage situation, adultery, kidnapping, armed robbery, financial scams, paternity fraud, identity theft and even murder.
Each week on the ‘True Crime - Reality’ Caelynn Miller-Keyes (Bachelor) will be joined by a reality star as they dive deep into the details of a crime they have a direct connection to. The who, the what, the why and the what ‘were they thinking?!’
True Crime and all it’s darkest secrets, are about to get a taste of reality.

A cult movie that got it wrong. A women’s “sisterhood” that wasn’t what it seemed. And a commitment that came with collateral. On this episode of Killer Thriller, Sarah Edmondson joins us to unpack the reality behind the NXIVM dramatization, how a five-day course turned skepticism into belief, and the moment loyalty crossed into something far more dangerous.

What a helluva day in court! The defense attorney for accused double murderer Brendan Banfield scored major points today, calling two forensic digital experts with the Fairfax Police Department up to the stand who refuted the state’s catfishing theory. The two testified Brendan’s wife Christine had control of her devices, making it impossible for Brendan or the au pair to have created the online fetish profile that led to the murders. Later this afternoon, we are also expecting the biggest bombshell of this trial: Brendan Banfield will testify in his own defense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You've probably seen the promos on Netflix: superstar climber Alex Honnold will attempt to climb one of the tallest buildings in the world TONIGHT. Live. No ropes. Netflix will air it on a 10-second delay, but that doesn't fully cover all of safety and ethical concerns for what Honnold is doing. Honnold -- considered one of the best climbers in the world -- shot to fame with the Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo," which documented his no-ropes climb up Yosemite's Dawn Wall. He's the only person to ever free solo the Dawn Wall, considered the holy grail of climbing. Tonight's broadcast comes with controversy and criticism, especially now that Honnold is a husband and father of two young girls. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The defense attorney for Brendon Banfield made some significant headway this afternoon, questioning if investigators came up with their catfishing theory first, and then tried to make the evidence fit later. Banfield is charged with murdering his wife, and a stranger they say he catfished to his home to frame for her murder, along side his au pair and mistress. Also coming out in court today, it may have been Brendan Banfield’s 4 year old daughter who led investigators to their theory.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Amy and T.J. get you caught up on the latest in the salacious BDSM murder trial where prosecutors say Brendan Banfield conspired with his au pair/lover to kill his wife and pin her murder on a stranger.

After 7 hours of deliberating, a Texas jury finds former Uvalde police officer Adrian Gonzales not guilty of 29 counts of child endangerment. It was an emotional 2 weeks of testimony, many victims’ families traveling hundreds of miles, looking for justice after officers waited 77 minutes to confront the gunman who killed 19 students and 2 teachers at Robb Elementary School nearly 4 years ago. Officer Gonzales arrived before the gunman entered the school and waited for backup as hundreds of shots rang out inside the school. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Criminal defense attorney Alison Triessl has been closely following the Brendan Banfield BDSM trial for the past two weeks. Triessl relies on her 3 decades of trial experience to talk about the prosecution’s case and what the defense needs to do to overcome the damning testimony of the au pair. If the jury believes her testimony, Triessl believes it will be an impossible road for the defense, but they have a potential ace up their sleeve, and it involves a Fairfax County police detective.

Amy and T.J. get you updated on one of the most salacious murder trials in recent history. A former IRS agent, Brendan Banfield is fighting for his freedom, charged with a double homicide for the murders of his wife, Christine and a stranger prosecutors say Banfield, along with the help of his au pair turned lover, lured to his home to set up for his wife’s death. The prosecution’s case against Banfield rests primarily on the testimony of the au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, who told jurors about their plan to “get rid of” Christine and pin the murder on Joseph Ryan, a man who believed he was coming to the Banfield home to participate in a BDSM sexual fantasy.

We all heard it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
President Trump spent more than an hour on the international stage in Davos at the World Economic Forum to brag about American strength and throw shade at “stupid” “weak” European countries. While the big headline is that Trump acknowledged for the first time America will NOT use force to acquire Greenland, the other major headline was that “people will SOON be prosecuted for what they did” in what Trump calls the “rigged” 2020 election.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
