Choices

We’re faced with choices every day. Most are trivial and underwhelming to the point we don’t realize they’re even choices at all. Getting gas, whether or not to order take out, or the everso infamous quandary: “should i go to the gym?” There does, however, come those times when we’re forced to make more profound decisions…the type that could very well alter the trajectory of our future. We sat down for an interview with artist, public speaker, educator, & activist <...

Felony Friday - Off Duty

We’re all familiar with the term “angry drunk.” Some of us have had the misfortune of knowing a few of these individuals. What’s scary about alcohol is it can alter someone’s personality drastically. Some individuals have a great time after a few drinks- cracking jokes and laughing. Others become suddenly emotional and cry. But the drinker who exhibits relentless rage is undoubtedly the most concerning of them all. When Detective Mike Nealey woke up in a jail cell dressed only in a ...

Felony Friday - On Duty

56-year-old Assistant Director of Corrections for the Lauderdale County Jail, Vicky White, was a model employee. For nearly 2 decades she had gained the trust and respect of her superiors and had won several awards during her tenure. So when she disappeared with a confessed murderer after what appeared to be a routine transfer gone wrong, colleagues believed her life was in danger. However, they’d soon realize that 38-year-old Casey White didn’t have any scheduled transfers or appointment...

The 12th Failure

Lyndon McLeod was your typical controversial online troll. He was loud, provocative, and identified as a, “Shiva-the-destroyer archetype who likes to watch shit burn.” He also happened to be an author. His 4,485 page self-published 3-part work entitled “Sanction” began to gain some traction online with the help of his dark and outlandish marketing tactics… but one supporter of the writer’s Patreon eventually realized the book wasn't a fictional tale. When warning...

Full-Length Episode Coming Tonight...

We are actively navigating some - shall we say, "sensitive safety issues" regarding the episode scheduled for early, ad-free release today. I just wanted to let folks know the episode is coming, but that we are making sure by publishing the episode we are not potentially compromising anyone's safety, including our own. Stay tuned.

Felony Friday - Jeanie-ology

It took 39 years to take down the Golden State Killer. These days, commercial genealogy websites such as ancestry.com are a common tool used to help bring justice in unsolved crimes. In 1993 when a woman was left for dead in a Minnepolis high rise apartment, the murderer surely wasn’t considering his DNA showing up at the crime scene. Fast forward over 20 years later, a very important question arises: Can a killer truly evade detection in this advanced digital age of forensics? Or is it onl...

Felony Friday - The River

We’d all like to believe that anyone we consider a “friend” would never betray us. As empathetic beings, it’s natural to put trust in other people. Sometimes we do so too casually, however…and to a fault. We can only hope the people we’re close with won’t stab us in the back…never mind in a literal sense. Back in 2016, just outside of Boston, MA in the city of Lawrence, a man walking his dog would make a gruesome discovery along the Merrimack River. When the community learned ...

Back to Regular Schedule This Coming Week

My apologies on the late announcement. There is no Felony Friday this week. We are back to the regular premium schedule this coming week as I’m finally feeling much better and just flushing out the rest of a remnant sinus infection this weekend after our family bout with Covid. I just got some new medicine for the sinus issues now so I’ll be back to narrating as early as tomorrow. We are thankful that everyone is healthy and made it through with no major health issues. Thank you all fo...

Nikki With An “i”

Nikki Kuhnhausen was born “Nicholas.” From a very young age her mother Lisa knew her son wasn’t like the other boys at school. In 6th grade Nikki had the courage to come out, identifying as female. She embraced the person she truly felt she was, unapologetically. But when Nikki suddenly went missing from the Vancouver, WA area one day…it would be some time before anyone learned what had actually happened to the at-risk 17 year old…

Felony Friday - Hide and Seek

Most would agree that there are varying degrees of love… ranging from healthy to toxic, and everything in between. Some find their hearts are most content in a quiet, structured, and compassionate partnership. Others feed off of drama, chaos, and erratic behaviors. A lot of people will say they’re not looking to “play games” when referring to a desired, mature relationship…but actions speak louder than words. When a volatile couple in central Florida decided to engage in a drunken v...

Covid Finally Got Us

I hate to miss a weekly Felony Friday episode but there will not be one published this week. We were informed that we were exposed to Covid this past weekend after attending a wedding and one of my daughters was the first to test positive this afternoon after developing a fever and cough through the night. I’m experiencing a headache and low grade fever but am still testing negative with the at-home kits. We will be hunkering down at the house and working to keep the girl...

The Dirty Truth

Most of us are at least peripherally familiar with the story of John Meehan, a.k.a the infamous “Dirty John,”  the con-artist who terrorized women across the United States. But when the news broke of what happened to John during his final moments, the infamy surrounding his abusive escapades strangely led to several international TV deals, docuseries, and was even the basis for some of the most successful investigative true-crime podcasts ever created. Fort...

Felony Friday - Gonzo

We’ve all seen the classic prison break movies like The Shawshank Redemption, but never do we expect an inmate to actually break free, nevermind lurk in the shadows of our own backyards. In May of 2022, what sounded like a Hollywood horror film would play out as a nightmare in real time for the people of Centerville, TX. When a violent prisoner made a run for it, the rural farming community was told to lock their doors and stay inside…but what’s the point of locking your door if the con...

Felony Friday - Just a Whisper

We depend on the police. We count on them to be there for us when a threat is present. Sure, everyone has bad days at work…but can police officers afford that luxury? Let’s face it, cops are often criticized no matter how good of a job they do. That’s just the nature of being in law enforcement it seems. But in March of 2019, when a 911 call came from inside a home in Grand Rapids, MI, that criticism may have been warranted. After a woman’s voice was heard whispering for help, stating...

Suspect Your Elders

“Respect your elders.” It’s something we’ve all heard since we were young. Albert Flick, a 76-year-old US Army veteran from Westbrook, Maine fit the precise mold of the type of individual we’re expected to revere. You’d never know based on appearance alone that this man had an extremely dark & violent past. When a judge gave Mr. Flick another chance at life after years in and out of prison for violent crimes, he started over in a new town where no one knew of his past…but al...

Next Full-Length Early Release Delayed a Few Days

All, 


We've been consistently 1 month ahead on our full-length regular releases here on Patreon, but due to a nasty head and chest cold running rampant through the family right now,  it's going to be another 2-3 days before I wrap up the next full length early release for everyone that would have usually come out today. My voice is terribly hoarse and I'm back to recording in 5-10 second chunks before it goes out after about ten minutes, so it'll be slow going over ...

Felony Friday - The Curse of ZaBumBa

Bruce Beresford-Redman had a successful career in Hollywood. You may know him as the creator and producer of such popular shows such as “Pimp My Ride” & CBS’s “Survivor.” His wife Monica was equally successful- owning and operating a Brazilian restaurant & nightclub in West L.A. called ZaBumBa. They were the strongest of power couples and seemed to have it all. But when Monica went missing from a resort while on vacation in Cancun in 2010, Bruce qu...

Felony Friday - The Slacker

In the world of a professional contractor, you never know where you’re going to end up or who might end up working with. For the employees of J&B Electrical, a company out of Pennsylvania, this couldn’t be more true. Workers were used to guys coming and going…it’s just part of the business as a contracted electrician. But when a crew with members from all over the country connected with a man named Shaun Runyon, no one knew much about his past…nor how violent he was capable of b...

UNCENSORED - Children at Risk

The small Southwestern Chicago suburb of Mokena, IL suffered its first murder in 25 long years in May of 2009. After a flurry of abrupt 911 calls and confusing allegations of child sexual abuse, first responders were confronted with a truly disturbing scene. An 18-year-old man immediately confessed to a gruesome murder. But he also claimed that he did it to protect his own sibling. Investigators would later uncover several concerning items in the graduating senior’s bedroom that would ultim...

The Secret Diary

“Why didn’t she just leave?” This is a question usually proposed by the uninformed. Individuals unaware of just how difficult and dangerous it is for victims of domestic violence to get out of their toxic relationship. It’s never that simple and everyone’s situation is different. A young school teacher by the name of Amber Guichelaar was one of these women. She wanted to get out and almost did. A tragedy that was first reported as an accident, would turn out to be much more than tha...

Felony Friday - Bad Attitude

Nine people crammed into a cozy 1,254 square foot South Florida home to celebrate the Christmas holiday in December of 2017… but only seven would ultimately escape one of the region’s most horrific tragedies. All of the unnecessary bloodshed apparently occurring over the alleged “bad attitude” of an innocent child.

New Perk Stickers are NOT water resistant/proof!

Hello Everyone, 

Some of you received these newer circle stickers with your Confidential Informant challenge coins. I was supporting a young entrepreneur's new printing business and ordered these stickers from her instead of my usual vendor to give away as additional freebies. I just hand washed a cup that I had put one on, and the colors ran together after just a single wash. 

That said - I'm very sorry for the issue and ask that you please do not place these st...

Felony Friday - One Last Deal

Thomas Clayton had big dreams of making it to the NHL. He did have some success, playing hockey for the Elmira Jackals, a minor league farm team of the Columbus Blue Jackets. But as the game began to shift and the style of play changed from fighting to finesse, Thomas Clayton knew his days as “the enforcer,” were numbered. One night at a bar after a home game, Clayton would meet a beautiful woman named Kelley. Little did he know that this woman would eventually become his wife. Two kids, ...

Finding Jordan

In 2017, just days after Thanksgiving, a 25-year-old woman from Keystone Heights, Fl mysteriously disappeared. Authorities wasted no time in launching their search efforts, as this wasn’t the average missing person case. Jordan Cooper was severely intellectually challenged and had never been left alone for more than a few hours. She was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt at her house on Payne Road. As law enforcement questioned her family with a suspiciously checkered past, they fai...

Felony Friday - Organ Donation

Out of all the people in the United States, an estimated 169 million are organ donors. These individuals voluntarily and unselfishly consent to their physical bodies being used to help others in the event of their death. It’s safe to say that with half the U.S. population having the words Organ Donor printed across their driver’s license, that it's a pretty common thing. What isn’t common, however, is for a donor who was brutally murdered to meet the criteria for successful org...

Felony Friday - The Puppet Master

In East York- a suburb just outside downtown Toronto, ON, life couldn’t have been better for one Canadian family. With parents as police officers and a long line of law enforcement ingrained in their history, 14-year-old Stefanie Rengel & her younger brother Ian were well protected. But in 2008, that would all change. Just hours after singing karaoke in the living room on a snowy New Years Eve, this loving household was unknowingly set to fall apart. Soon, an unexpected visitor would sh...
