Rebecca is joined by Aussie podcaster Sarah Carradine to talk about the latest disclosure drops in the Karen Read case as well as some true crime news from her neck of the woods.

Mel's on vacation, so Rebecca is joined by the pod's favorite person to objectify...Kevin Flynn!

The paper trail is finally catching up. This week on The In Between, Mel Barrett dives into the explosive 2026 unsealed Department of Justice files regarding Jeffrey Epstein—and the massive political cover-up that just cost the Attorney General her job.Mel breaks down the chilling new evidence against the MCC guards on duty the night Epstein died, including a suspicious $5,000 cash deposit and the new survivor-led civil suit that has forced them back under oath. Then, we tackle the "PROTECT SOURCE" files—the horrifying 1983 FBI tip regarding the 47th President that the DOJ tried to bury. Finally, we head to New Mexico, where a newly formed Truth Commission armed with subpoena power is taking aim at the federal government's shocking failure to search the 7,600-acre Zorro Ranch.The enablers thought his death meant their secrets were safe.
