In the early morning hours of July 4, 1954, a quiet Ohio suburb was rocked by a brutal murder. Marilyn Sheppard was found beaten to death in her own bed. Her husband, Dr. Sam Sheppard, claimed a mysterious intruder was responsible. Police — and the public — weren’t convinced.What followed became one of the most controversial murder cases in American history: a trial overwhelmed by media frenzy, a conviction later overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, and a retrial that ended in acquittal. Along the way, the case raised lasting questions about circumstantial evidence, police tunnel vision, and whether justice can survive public pressure.This real-life case would later inspire the hit TV series The Fugitive and the iconic Harrison Ford film — but Hollywood gave the story a cleaner ending than real life ever did.In this episode of Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies, we lay out both sides of the case in our popular You Be the Jury format. You’ll hear the prosecution’s theory, the defense’s doubts, and the unanswered questions that still linger decades later.By the end, the verdict is up to you.Was Dr. Sam Sheppard guilty — or was he wrongfully convicted?You be the jury.
Lake Hartwell looks peaceful — but beneath its calm surface lies a chilling history of unsolved murders, missing persons, ghost sightings, and a town erased by water.In this episode of Murders, Mysteries & Conspiracies, we take a deep investigative dive into Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, a man-made reservoir with a disturbingly high number of deaths and a reputation locals can’t explain. From the unsolved 1997 murder of Clemson student Stacey Brooke Holsonback, to modern-day missing persons recovered from the lake, to whispered reports of apparitions, phantom lights, and haunted cemetery islands, this episode explores what happens when history is buried but never resolved.We uncover the forgotten story of Andersonville, South Carolina, a once-thriving river town submerged during the construction of Hartwell Dam — along with its roads, homes, and graves. Could the lake’s tragic past explain why so many lives have been lost? Or is Lake Hartwell simply a dangerous place hiding in plain sight?Fact, folklore, and conspiracy collide as we separate documented evidence from local legend, and ask the question many are afraid to say out loud:Is Lake Hartwell haunted — or haunted by the truth?🎧 Listen now if you’re fascinated by:• Unsolved murders• Missing persons cases• Haunted lakes and ghost towns• True crime mysteries• Southern folklore and conspiracies• Cold cases connected to water• Paranormal historyKeywords:Lake Hartwell mystery, Andersonville South Carolina, haunted lakes, submerged ghost towns, unsolved murders South Carolina, missing persons Lake Hartwell, Clemson student murder, Stacey Holsonback, paranormal true crime, Southern mysteries, conspiracy podcast, haunted cemeteries, underwater townsHashtags:#MurdersMysteriesAndConspiracies#LakeHartwell#AndersonvilleSC#TrueCrimePodcast#UnsolvedMurders#MissingPersons#HauntedPlaces#ParanormalPodcast#ColdCase#SouthernMysteries#GhostStories#ConspiracyPodcast#ClemsonUniversity#HauntedLakes

Two people are dead: Christine Banfield, a wife and mother, and Joseph Ryan, a stranger lured into the home.Christine’s husband, Brendan Banfield, admits he killed Ryan — but claims he was protecting his family.

They used to silence whistleblowers with bullets, crashes, and disappearances.Now, they use algorithms.In the final episode of SILENCED, we expose how voices are erased in the digital age—through deplatforming, legal pressure, financial ruin, and invisible systems that decide what the public sees and what quietly vanishes.No body.No crime scene.Just silence.Because today, you don’t have to kill the messenger—You only have to make sure no one sees the message.Murders, Mysteries, and ConspiraciesHosted by Glenn P. Clinger III
Some people don’t die. They simply vanish.No body. No crime scene. No closure. Just silence.In this chilling episode of SILENCED, we explore the darkest form of control—disappearance. From powerful politicians to whistleblowers, journalists, and critics of authority, these individuals are erased before their stories can be told. Their absence leaves a vacuum filled with questions, rumors, and suspicion.Why did they vanish? Were they running from danger…or deliberately erased? And who decides which voices are allowed to speak—and which are silenced forever?Join Glenn P. Clinger III as we uncover the mysteries of the missing, the secrets behind high-stakes politics, and the shadowy intersections of power, intelligence, and truth. This is Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies like you’ve never heard it before.When the evidence disappears, the questions only grow louder.#TrueCrime #UnsolvedMysteries #Conspiracy #MissingPersons #Disappearances #PoliticalIntrigue #GovernmentSecrets #Whistleblowers #ColdCases #ShadowPolitics #SilencedPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast #MurdersMysteriesConspiracies #DisappearanceCases #PodcastLife #InvestigativePodcast
Journalism is meant to hold power accountable. To expose corruption. To tell the stories powerful institutions would rather keep buried.But what happens when a journalist uncovers something they were never supposed to find?In Episode 3 of SILENCED, we examine reporters and media figures who pushed past official narratives—investigating government misconduct, intelligence operations, corporate crime, and organized corruption—only to face suspicious deaths, professional destruction, or a deliberate erasure from public memory.Some were dismissed as unstable. Some were ruined financially. Some were found dead under circumstances that raised more questions than answers.This episode confronts an unsettling reality: investigative journalism may be praised in theory—but in practice, it is often tolerated only until it threatens real power.When truth becomes dangerous, who decides how much of it is allowed to survive?
When profits are on the line, silence can be priceless.Episode 2 examines how corporations adopted Cold War-style suppression tactics to protect trade secrets, dangerous products, and financial interests.From engineers and scientists to executives who knew too much, we explore cases where “accidents” conveniently removed threats. This episode reveals how corporate power learned that silencing a voice is often cheaper—and safer—than fixing the truth.
SILENCED is a five-part investigative mini-series from Murders, Mysteries, and Conspiracies examining how whistleblowers, journalists, scientists, and inconvenient voices are neutralized—through suspicious deaths, disappearances, legal pressure, and digital erasure. From the Cold War to the modern algorithmic age, this series exposes how power learns to silence without leaving fingerprints.The Cold War didn’t just produce nuclear weapons—it perfected the art of silence.In Episode 1, we explore how governments and intelligence agencies learned to suppress dangerous information through suspicious accidents, unexplained deaths, and vanished insiders. From classified programs to missing witnesses, this episode reveals how secrecy, plausible deniability, and fear became tools of control.This episode lays the foundation for the entire SILENCED series, showing how early Cold War tactics still echo in today’s world of suppressed truths and buried stories.
