Description
Whether it's a true crime case or a morbid historical tale, we understand that the devil is in the details. In each episode, we comb through the facts, scrutinize the suspects, and deliver the disturbing stories that keep you on the edge of your seat. If you enjoy evidence-driven storytelling with a dash of gallows humor to make the disturbing (somewhat) tolerable, we suspect this is the pod for you. But this is A Trial by Podcast, so we'll let you be the judge.

In 2012, 16-year-old Skylar Neese was brutally stabbed to death by her two best friends. She had been feeling left out of their trio, so she was excited when they invited her to hang out on the evening of July 6th. That night, Skylar snuck out through her bedroom window, but by the next morning her parents discovered her bed empty. Her friends told police that they had dropped her off later that night and claimed not to know what happened to her. For over six months, the case remained a mystery until one of the girls finally broke down and confessed. During that time, both girls even posted on social media about how devastated they were over Skylar’s disappearance. When investigators asked why they had decided to kill their best friend, one of the girls chillingly replied, “We didn’t like her anymore.”Click here for all of our links!TRUE CRIME TRIVIA NIGHT:Thursday, September 11thSeeing Double Speakeasy BarNorth Olmsted, OHQuestions start at 7:00, get there at 6:30Call 440-641-1267 to reserve a table (we highly recommend)https://www.seeingdoublecle.com/Find us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

In 1978, 15-year-old Mary Vincent was brutally attacked by Lawrence Singleton, who picked her up while she was hitchhiking in California, assaulted her, and cut off both of her forearms before leaving her for dead. Remarkably, Mary managed to crawl to safety and survived, later helping to convict Singleton despite his receiving a shockingly light sentence.

Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was assassinated on February 13, 2017, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia. Two women, Siti Aisyah from Indonesia and Đoàn Thị Hương from Vietnam, smeared a lethal dose of VX nerve agent on his face, allegedly believing they were participating in a prank video. The attack was widely believed to be orchestrated by North Korean agents as part of a state-sanctioned assassination.Link to North Korea Documentary mentionedTRUE CRIME TRIVIA NIGHT:Thursday, September 11thSeeing Double Speakeasy BarNorth Olmsted, OHQuestions start at 7:00, get there at 6:30Call 440-641-1267 to reserve a table (we highly recommend)https://www.seeingdoublecle.com/Click here for all of our links!Find us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

My interview with Smile Talk with JacobOn the night of August 2, 2006, 32-year-old attorney Robert Wone was found fatally stabbed in the guest room of a friend’s home in Washington, D.C., under circumstances that remain deeply mysterious. Wone had been staying overnight at the home of college friend Joseph Price, who lived there with his partner Victor Zaborsky and their housemate Dylan Ward. The three men claimed an unknown intruder broke in, stabbed Robert, and fled—yet there were no signs of forced entry, and their behavior after the crime raised suspicions. An autopsy revealed precise knife wounds and signs that Robert may have been incapacitated before his death, possibly through chemical restraint, though toxicology was inconclusive. The case garnered national attention due to its eerie details, the unusual domestic arrangement in the house, and the fact that the three men were later charged—not with murder, but with obstruction of justice and conspiracy. They were ultimately acquitted, and to this day, no one has been held criminally responsible for Robert Wone’s death.Click here for all of our links!Find us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

Geetha Angara, a 43-year-old senior chemist at the Passaic Valley Water Commission in Totowa, New Jersey, vanished on the morning of February 8, 2005, while performing routine water-sample calibrations. Her coworkers discovered an access panel ajar above a water tank, along with broken glass from her beaker, later found along with her radio and clipboard underwater. Her body was recovered on February 9 in icy water. The autopsy revealed she was alive when she entered the tank, with bruises on her neck, waist, and elbows—signs of a possible struggle—leading investigators to classify her death a homicide. Given the plant’s tightly controlled access and no external intruders, suspicion fell on her coworkers; though three were identified as potential suspects, no charges were ever filed and the case went cold. An alternative theory, advanced by a Scottish pathologist, noted that cold-water drowning can mimic strangulation injuries, and some investigators later proposed that she may have tragically slipped through the panel during an accidental sample-collection procedure—though her family strongly disputes that scenario.Find us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

Dolly and Fred Oesterreich were a seemingly ordinary married couple in early 20th-century Los Angeles, but their lives hid a shocking secret. Fred, a wealthy apron factory owner, was murdered in 1922 under mysterious circumstances—found shot to death in their home while Dolly claimed to be locked in a closet by intruders. As the investigation unfolded, detectives discovered that for over a decade, Dolly had been hiding her secret lover, Otto Sanhuber, in the attic of their home. Otto, a former factory worker, confessed to killing Fred during a confrontation, revealing a bizarre and sensational tale of obsession, manipulation, and a literal "man in the attic" that captured national headlines.Find us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

Grace Emmie Rose Millane, a 22-year-old British tourist on a gap‑year trip in New Zealand, disappeared on the evening of December 1, 2018, after she left a Tinder date in Auckland—her body was discovered in a suitcase a day later in the Waitākere Ranges The man she met, Jesse Shane Kempson (26 at the time), was arrested on December 8 and later convicted in November 2019 of murdering her by strangulation; he claimed it was consensual “rough sex” that accidentally caused her death—a defense widely condemned as victim-blaming.Kempson received life imprisonment with a minimum of 17 years before parole, his appeal was dismissed in December 2020, and the case continues to spark discussion around violence against women and the problematic “rough sex” defense.Find us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

Jacob Erwin Wetterling was an 11‑year‑old boy from St. Joseph, Minnesota who was kidnapped at gunpoint on October 22, 1989, while riding his bicycle home with his brother and a friend. His disappearance touched the nation and sparked frantic searches, media coverage, and advocacy from his parents, Jerry and Patty Wetterling, who went on to found the Jacob Wetterling Foundation and help pass the federal. For nearly 27 years, the case remained unsolved until 2016, when Danny Heinrich confessed to abducting, sexually assaulting, and murdering Jacob, finally leading authorities to his remains buried near Paynesville, Minnesota. Jacob’s tragic story profoundly impacted child safety laws in the U.S., and continues to remind communities of both the dangers children face and the enduring power of hope and advocacy.Donate to Season of JusticeFind us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

In December 1968, 20-year-old college student and heiress Barbara Jane Mackle was kidnapped from an Atlanta motel by Gary Steven Krist and Ruth Eisemann-Schier. Krist and Eisemann-Schier, posing as law enforcement officers, abducted Mackle and buried her alive in a ventilated fiberglass box in a remote area of Georgia. The kidnappers demanded a $500,000 ransom from Mackle's wealthy father, which was eventually paid. After more than three days underground, Mackle was rescued by the FBI, suffering from dehydration but otherwise unharmed. Krist was captured, sentenced to life in prison, but was released on parole after ten years. Eisemann-Schier was arrested months later, served four years in prison, and was deported to her native Honduras. Despite the traumatic experience, Mackle went on to live a relatively private life, marrying and becoming a mother.Find us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.

In January 2015, Chanel Miller, then 22, was sexually assaulted by Stanford University student Brock Turner while she was unconscious behind a dumpster on campus. Two graduate students intervened and detained Turner until police arrived. Turner was convicted in March 2016 on three felony counts of sexual assault but received a sentence of only six months in county jail, serving just three months, which sparked widespread public outrage. Miller's powerful victim impact statement, read during Turner's sentencing, went viral and became a rallying cry for survivors of sexual assault. In 2019, she revealed her identity and published the memoir Know My Name, detailing her experience and critiquing the justice system's handling of sexual assault cases. The case led to significant legal reforms in California and the recall of Judge Aaron Persky, who had delivered the lenient sentence.Find us on socials:Facebook: A Trial by PodcastInstagram: @atrialbypodcastTikTok: @atrialbypodcast Theme Music:https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/mr-mischiefLicense code: MOYK9CTUWGH7BLCSDISCLAIMERThis podcast (and all related media*) is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only.
