I truly, dont even know how to start with this one.... for anyone who has not seen HBO's The Jinx Season 1 and 2, and who have no idea who Robert Durst is, hang on tight.Matt, was also unaware of anything to do with this case, and for some reason, believed I was going to tell him a gambling case. This was not that. And it is a wild ride. This case has it all, murder, mystery, living as a middle aged mute woman in Texas, not to mention a hot mic, that is just about my favourite thing to ever happen in the world of true crime.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

As, Casey made her way through the hallways, smiling and waiving to her 'friends' as they passed she was met by many confused faces- before inevitably rounding a corner that lead right to a dead end - after this Casey's lies would begin to unravel at a rapid pace.But, where was Caylee Marie Anthony?Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a textTRIGGER WARNING-  For those of you who do not know, this case involves the death of a beautiful, smart, precious, not even 3 year old little girl, and her piece of trash narcissistic egg donor; Casey Anthony.This episode is kinda of, filled with a fair amount of rage...I am angry at the jury, I do not like Jose Baez, and I hate Casey Anthony.  Even, just writing up the description for this episode, evoked a rage in me.  So, if you are one of those folks who send us emails, about not liking the swearing in the pod.... this may not be a good one for you. I did the best I could, considering the demon that I am speaking about.In 2008- 22 year old Casey Marie Anthony, made headlines, after authorities learned that her, nearly 3 year old daughter Caylee had been missing for 31 days. According to Casey, Caylee had been taken by her nanny of- between 1.5-2 years; Zenaida Fernadez Gonzalez.  Casey would say that Zenaida, or 'Zanny the nanny' as she would come to be known, would tell Casey that she does not appreciate what she has, leading Casey to believe, that she had taken her daughter, to teach Casey a lesson, for being a bad mom......... but there was only one problem with that........  just kidding, there is literally 50 problems with that!  Casey lies about absolutely EVERYTHING, but never thinks past the initial lie!!So, why in 2011 was she acquitted of 1st degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter??  enter: Jose Baez- a new criminal defence attorney.  Had only been an attorney for about 5 years at the time that Casey's trial took place.  And, don't worry, I read his book: PRESUMED GUILTY, so that you don't have to.There is no denying Jose is great at what he does.  Right away, he will show the jury everything that the prosecution is going to show them, trying to get a conviction,  and he will down play all of it.  He also plants a different idea of something that COULD have happened, regardless of if he pulled that theory straight out of his ass or not.. and it didn't hurt that they had to pick a jury of 12 people who hadn't watched or read the news, or flipped through a magazine in 3 years...  they wanted jurors, who did not have a preconceived notion on Casey's guilt or innocence  (IMO- idiots.  but what do I know...)We will also go through the most recent documentaries; Peacocks 3 part interview with Casey herself...  what a smouldering heap of trash that was.And even more recently, George and Cindy (Casey's parents) in 2024, watched and responded to the Peacock documentary, and Cindy finally has some hard hitting words Casey.Both part of this will be available right away on our patreon,  but if you need a breather between them, part 2 will be up next Tuesday.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a textRev. Martin Luther King Jr. once said that "Riots are the language of the unheard" and in April of 1992, the black community in Los Angeles felt very unheard. The Previous year in 1991, 25 year old Rodney Glen King had been involved in a high speed chase. Noticing the spot light from a helicopter, Rodney realized that things had quickly gotten out of hand and, ended up pulling off Interstate 201, onto the right hand shoulder of Foothill Blvd. What followed was caught on video, by a nearby resident named George Holliday..... and the world would see one of the most horrific beatings, that did not result in death. By some miracle, Rodney was not killed, but doctors would say that some of his bones had been so pulverized that the looked like grains of sand...13 days after this, a 15 year old black girl named Latasha Harlins, at the request of her grandmother, had gone into a corner store to pick up some orange juice for her and her siblings, Latasha walked walked to the front counter with $2 in hand to pay for the 1.79 orange juice, again, this interaction was caught on film, the store owner seemed to have believed Latasha was going to steal the juice, despite the cash in her hand, after a short but intense interaction with the store owner, Latasha tried to walk away. The store owner would pull out her gun, and end the life of a 15 year old child. When Latasha's killer got off, with community service and a fine, the black community was horrified, and when the 4 officers who beat Rodney, nearly to death, were acquitted, they had had enough, and with in minutes the riots would begin. They would last for 6 days, leaving some neighbourhood, reduced to rubble.This is the case of the 1992 LA Riots.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a text Louise and David Turpin, from the outside look like they have it all. They met when they were young, David had a great paying job, they were able to treat their friends and family to the finer things in life, when they would come and visit, for weeks at a time, but mainly, they continued to be blessed with baby after baby, just like they had wished for. And, to the outside world, and Facebook, they seemed like the perfect family. The kids looked so well behaved, they all looked happy, Louise appeared to be a super mom. But, behind the annual pictures that would go up on Facebook, was an unspeakable nightmare. Those, once a year photos, were also the only chance that the Turpin children were allowed to bathe, and put on clean clothes, their parents would often purchase food, new clothes, and toys, but would forbid their 12 kids fro touching any of it. And if anyone did try to break one of 'mother' or 'father's rules, they would be punished, in unthinkable ways. The eldest Turpin child, Jennifer, was the only one who ever went to a public school, and that would only be allowed from grade 1-3. But, she would try her best to pass the little bit of knowledge that she did have to her younger siblings. As far as the rest of the children were concerned, this was just how life was supposed to be.... Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a text David and Louise Turpin, met through the church when Louise was barely a teenager. Despite her father, telling the two that the age gap was inappropriate, and the two should not date, Louise's mother felt as though David was a catch, because he came from a 'good Christian family'. When David was 25, and Louise was only 16, he would disguise himself as her father, so that he was able to sign her out of high school. Once the two were married, they had big plans, to have 12 children, Louise considered the ability to carry children, to be a 'gift from God' and she planned to carry as many as the good Lord would let her.... what could possibly go wrong? Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a textMark and Jennair Geradot met in the summer of 1986, while Jennair was working at a Taco Bell in Indiana. The two would go on to date, and would marry in 1990 (with the exception of one break up when Mark had found himself smitten with another girl, but Mark had made her the promise that he would never hurt her again. After 24 years of marriage that, for the most part was loving, but was peppered with bad times, epic fights and financial struggles, the couple was about to move from South Carolina to Delaware, where Mark had been offered a creative director position at The University of Delaware, Jennair would stay in South Carolina for 45 days, to get their affairs in order, and lease out their home. During this time, Mark found himself really enjoying the company of his much younger boss, Mereditch Chapman, and Meredith was very impressive, so who could blame him? The only proble was, Mark found her impressive in more aspects than just professionally.... When Jennair joined her husband in Delaware, she knew instantly that something about her husband had changed, and she asked him point blank "Is it Meredith?" which Mark would initially deny, but Jennair became a woman obsessed, she would sew recording devices into his clothing, put trackers on both of their cars, she paid a company to have his phone cloned, and she would even buy a DNA kit.  Jennair was determined to try to get her life back, and if she was unable to, sadly, she would ensure that Meredith wouldn't have it either.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a textIn this 3rd part of our Coverage JonBenet, we will go over some of the suspects, and why they were, or are, suspects.In todays episode we will listen to the evidence against: John Mark Karr , the man who was extradited from Thailand after a recorded conversation, where he admitted to an employee of the Daily Boulder Camera, that he was the one who killed JonBenet, but it was an accident (with this sicko, please take this trigger warning, you are going to hear one of the most vile quotes you will ever hear!)We'll touch on Sandra and Bud Henderson, who owned a business called Henderson Technology, John Ramseys company Access Graphics would supply Henderson Tech with equipment, and in hindsight it is a huge red flag that Sandra took a job —-technically, she took a job working for a company that Johns ended up merging with, and therefore would end up working for Access Graphics—, and would eventually be responsible for billing her own company, soon after the merger, Access Graphics ceased business with Henderson Tech, as it was discovered that Sandra was altering the Henderson account, and they owed Access 145,000$- Sandra was of course, fired, ordered to pay back money, served time in prison, and all this, naturally put a strain on Sandras marriage, leading to a divorce in 1995. Was this enough motive to kill a child?And for the last suspect in todays episode, we will discuss Bill McReynolds, who is one of the most well known suspects, because this was the Santa Claus who had been hired for 3 Christmas's in a row, to play Santa at the Ramsay's ‘kid' Christmas Party. And, strangely Bill's own daughter had been kidnapped back in 1974…..on December 26th…. His wife Janet had also written a book, in 1976 about a 16 year old girl who was tortured and killed and found in a basement…..is this all just a coincidence ?This is Part 3 of JonBenet Ramsey.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a text There's so much to this episode, it is hard to capture it in a paragraph, but this is basically the aftermath of December 26th 1996, how John and Patsy, did they selves no favours, and likely added to the public's perception of them. And, while they weren't helping themselves. The Boulder PD was salivating at every misstep they took, because it was making their job even easier. We will go through, what i call the leaders of the two separate camps. Steve Thomas who was an investigator, who was asked to come over from being an undercover narcotics officer. Steve got lazered in on the ransom letter real quick, and believes, till this day that Patsy Ramsey, just newly in remission, from having Stage 4 ovarian cancer, awoke, to find 6 year old JonBenet had a bed wetting accident, causing Patsy to lose it, and take it out on the child...... even though her sheets were not soiled..... The other leader is Lou Smit, who was asked to come out of retirement to help with the case, only to resign 18 months later, and for the rest of his life, he would work towards finding the intruder, who he believed with his whole heart was responsible for this. Lou, passed away in 2010, and until the day he died, had a Christmas tree and and picture of JonBenet in his office, so that he would never allow himself to forget about this case... and even since his death, he has passed on his extremely well organized 'torch', so to speak. Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a textWe're back!!!Happy 2025 you all!!TRIGGER WARNING!!!*******  I think, probably nearly every knows a bit about this case,  but in case you do not, this case will involve the torture, murder and sexassualt of a 6 year old child*********To start the year off, I want to put it into the universe, that 2025 is going to be the year that we finally figure out who, took JonBenet out of her bed on Christmas, and ended her life. I went on a hard deep dive with this case, more so than any case in the past, and I wanted to see things from both side; Either,  The Ramsey, in some way, are involved in the death of JonBenet  VS an intruder came in the Ramsey home is Boulder Colorado, and killed the 6 year old.I read the book: 'JonBenet: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation'- written by Steve Thomas who at the time was an investigator for The Boulder Police Department.  On December 26th 1996, Steve was working as an undercover narcotics officer. A couple days after the little girls murder, Steve was asked to join 'The Ramsey Team'...  They needed all the help they could get, after they had fumbled, so horribly at the crime scene.Steve Thomas would learn of the 2.5 page ransom note, which simultaneously, as little JonBenets body was being found, at about 1:15pm, The Forgery an Fraud investigator, at Boulder Headquarters, was finding that, this already strange ransom note, had been torn out of The Ramsey's notepad, specifically Patsy's.  And then and there, Steve Thomas was certain it was Patsy, in a fit of rage, who had done this to her daughter.  And he stands by his hypothesis, to this day.If you are on the same page as Steve, and believe it was a family member living in that home, I urge you to please listen to this 4- part coverage that Matt and I did on the case. And, if you still find that you lean towards the family being involved, please feel free to email us at **** Everythingscary@outlook.com ****  we would love to have a respectful chat about the case, and see other perspectives.One detective was asked to come out of retirement, to help with this case,  but he would resign 18 months later, saying that he fully believed that the Boulder PD were wrong, and that Patsy and John were two grieving parents, who lost their baby on Christmas and, in such a horrific way.  Till the day Lou died, on August 11, 2011, Lou fought to find the person or persons behind this crime.  and after death his children have taken the reins with John Ramsey, and his eldest son, from his first marriage, John Andrew Ramsey and they are determined to have advanced DNA testing done, now 29 years later.This is our coverage of The Murder of JonBenet Ramsey Part 1/4Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a textIn part 2 of out coverage of Wade Wilson, we will go over the day of the crimes; October 7th 2019, his arrest, his trial, and the strange, strange women who claim to love this man.Wade gained notoriety in 2024, when he went on trial for his 2019 crimes. Women all over the internet found him incredibly handsome, for some bizarre reason, that I cannot for the life of me figure out..... is it the murders, and all the horrific abused, that he reserves for only women? is it the multiple face and head swastika's, that he was so proud of, he refused to cover them up for his trial? or is it that this man is so incapable of driving a stick shift, that he was unable to even leave his own horrific senseless, and brutal murder scene?Whatever the case may be, he ended up having to block some of his ladies from calling the prison for him, because there were simply too many. And that right there is a good look into one of the many things that is wrong in the word.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a textI was extremely bummed after watching the @discovery+ miniseries #fallenidols that presents some pretty horrific allegations about @nickcarter from @backstreetboys, I've been a life long backstreet boy fan, and in particular, a fan of Nick. But, I have been burned before when it comes to celebrities turning out to suck, when you have built them up as something else in your mind, and as I watched the alleged victims tell their version of the events, in the 4 part series, that Nick did not take part in, I decided I wanted to cover this on the podcast.  But if Netflix has taught me anything, it's not to just watch one documentary. So, I dug in and did weeks worth of research.    I started by reading Nicks book that came out in 2013 #facingthemusicandlivingtotalkaboutit , hoping to get a better idea of who he is, or at least how he wanted to come across. I watched the E! Reality show #houseofcarters, I watched countless interviews from the siblings, a very insightful one, was when his younger sister @AngelCharissma did @thesqueeze podcast.  She opened up a lot. And I definitely learned that Nick is not at all, the squeaky clean, romantic that I envisioned growing up, lol. I tried to remain as neutral as possible in my telling of the events.   I will go over exactly what the victims had to say, and I will also go over how Nick and his team are responding.  And you can draw your own conclusion.  @costcocostbro sat down for FOUR hours to record this.  So, it is clearly going to be a two parter.  And it's still going to be crazy long.  (I did do a little bit of old school BSB rap.. and for that I apologize. )As, I researched this specific topic, I couldn't help but learn more about Nick, and his life, and family, so this ended up being a few stories wrapped into one. I hope, if you listen, you can go into it without a preconceived notion, and form an opinion once you have more information.  I don't even know what to call these episodes, because it goes in so many directions.  So I'm just going to call it #NickCarter    TRIGGER WARNING FOR ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT, ADDICTION, MENTAL HEALTH, TRAUMATIC CHILDHOODSSupport the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a textPart 2, we will dive into the 'crime' at hand; why was a devoted mom found with 3 bags of drugs, along with a pipe, in the back of her vehicle on a WEDNESDAY afternoon? Not that the day of the week should make a difference, PTA moms should never arrive to their volunteer position with 3 bags of drugs in their car. Never!But!... Had Kelli Peters? Would this devoted mother and PTA member EVER do such a thing? Or, was this maybe that 'revenge', that another mother had insinuated, she would be getting on Kelli, after Kelli had made a mistake that involved this other mothers 6 year old child?If it was this other mother, who was attorney; Jill Easter, who also worked under the pen name Ava Bjork, and who wrote a book detailing how to get away with the perfect crime (sidenote: Maybe listen to this episode, before purchasing that book....)If, it was Jill, surely Kelli was going to be ruined, Jill's knowledge on the law was too vast.......Or was it?This is Part 2 of the PTA Mom Frame Job.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a textIn 2010, PTA mom Kelli Peters, messed up.  Admittedly, pretty badly too.During an after school program called ACE at Plaza Vista Public School, in Irvine California, Kelli had accidentally left a 6 year old child out back, when he failed to line up with the rest of his peers in a timely fashion.  VERY unfortunately for Kelli, this child mom, was 1 half of a marriage, of two, very powerful, very intelligent attorneys.  Her name was Jill Easter, and naturally she was horrified about what happened to her young child.Jill tried, over and over to get Kelli to admit, that the reason her son was actual left out side, was more nefarious than it was neglectful, but after apologized profusely, and even embracing the 6 year old and apologizing to him directly.  Kelli, informed Jill that she had to walk away.......  something that Jill was NOT OK with.  As Jill turned to leave, her calm and smiley demeanour, changed and she turned to Kelli, and asked her how she slept at night....she then left her with one sentence.     "I'll get you'The next year of Kelli's life was filled with harassment claims, lawsuits, death threats, demands that Kelli be removed from her position in the PTA......  and just when Kelli felt as if it was beginning to die down,  maybe Jill and her husband Kent were getting bored... a 911 call was placed, and Officer Charles Shaver would arrive at Plaza Vista School, to speak with Kelli.......  and her life was never going to be the same.Support the showIf you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!

Send us a Text Message.In February of 2008, 9 year old Shannon Matthews did not return home from school. Shannon's disappearance came only 8 months after the internationally known, disappearance of Madeline McCann. With The UK still reeling from that case, suddenly, another little girl was gone, so they did not waste any time. Within 24 hours, there were more than 200 officers, combing the streets for Shannon, but there were no leads, no evidence...she just, vanished. But friends close to Shannon's mother Karen, were beginning to notice some odd things about the way Karen was handling her daughters vanishing. In front of cameras, she was as expected, grieving, she had large red circles around her eyes, her hair was greasy, she looked like she had been so torn up, that she wasn't even taking care of herself anymore, let alone the 3 (out of 7) children, that she still had living with her......but when the cameras weren't around, she was often caught drinking and laughing... did Karen Matthews have more knowledge of Shannon's vanishing, than she was letting on?

2012, what a time to be alive. A hit gameshow had started in Columbia and before long there, was an American version, The premise of this show, was producers would do a deep dive into contestant lives, they would be subject to a intense personality test, and multiple polygraphs, they would interview friends and family, and incorporate themselves into their daily lives. Contestand would then sit down with the game show host, and they would be made to answer increasingly difficult personal questions about themselves and their families,. Only one contestant in the American version of the show won the grand prize of $500,000 but the question she would win would negatively scar her family for the rest of their lives.In Peru, 19 year old Ruth Thalia Sayas Sanchez, would be the first contestant to play the extremly irresponsible game. the questions started out light enough, 'had she ever skipped class?' 'had she had any plastic surgery?' But as Ruth was winning, the questions were getting harder and harder. In the seats in front of her were her parents and her boyfriend Bryan. By round 4 her parents were in tears and her boyfriend leg was bouncing up and down with anxiety. But only one person could have predicted what would happen to Ruth Thalia after she had disgraced the people who she loved the most.This is the case of The Value of Truth, and the murder of Ruth ThaliaSupport the Show.If you're interested in receiving bonus episodes, early release dates, an everything scary sticker and ‘thank you' as well as a shout out on our regular feed!
