In the early morning hours of August 9, 1969, a promising young actress was murdered. For years the press speculated about whether she was the target, and if so, why? Turns out it was little more than cult members on a murder spree.

It's been over 13 years since the tragic and some say preventable death of Whitney Houston.

When four 19-year-olds decided to rob the Rare Book Room at Transylvania University Library, they had no idea it was about to go down as one of the FBI's more significant art thefts.

Back in 2020, YouTube influencers Myka and James Stauffer did the unthinkable. when they video called, "An Update On Our Family"

It's the 25th anniversary of the great Oscar heist of 2000.

When you get synchronicity after synchronicity all pointing to the thing, it's time to do an episode about it.
