The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement (NPA) of 2007-08, reviewed by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), detailed how federal prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida negotiated a deal that effectively ended an active federal investigation into Epstein's alleged trafficking and abuse of underage girls. The agreement granted broad immunity to Epstein and unnamed “potential co-conspirators,” allowed him to plead guilty to state charges instead of facing major federal sex-trafficking counts, and did so without informing or consulting the victims before the deal was executed. The OPR found that while no evidence of corruption or impermissible influence was uncovered, the decision represented “poor judgment” by the prosecutors.Further, the report underscored significant procedural deficiencies: victims were not made aware of the NPA, the USAO did not meaningfully engage with them in accordance with the Crime Victims' Rights Act's principles, and the immunity granted in the NPA curtailed future federal prosecution of Epstein's associates—even as investigation into other victims and broader criminal conduct may have persisted. In short, the OPR concluded that the case resolution was legally within the prosecutors' discretion, but deeply flawed in its execution and fairness to those harmed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Al Kite's murder is one of the most chilling and perplexing unsolved cases in Colorado. In 2004, the 53-year-old Aurora man rented out his basement to a tenant who turned out to be a sadistic killer operating under a fake identity. The tenant brutally tortured Kite over several hours before murdering him, then vanished without a trace, leaving behind no forensic evidence and using multiple false identities. Despite a composite sketch and nationwide investigation, the killer, described as having an Eastern European accent, remains unidentified. Theories suggest he may have been a professional assassin or serial predator, but to this day, the case remains a haunting mystery, with investigators still pursuing leads in hopes of bringing justice to Kite's family.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The case of Jennifer Fergate remains one of Europe's most perplexing mysteries. In May 1995, a woman using the alias "Jennifer Fergate" checked into Oslo's luxurious Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel with no identification, no credit card, and no luggage. Days later, she was found dead in her room from a gunshot wound, seemingly a suicide, but numerous details—like the unregistered gun, the absence of gunshot residue, and her mysterious lack of personal belongings—raised suspicions. Investigators found no trace of her real identity, fueling theories that she could have been a spy, involved in organized crime, or perhaps the victim of a staged assassination. Despite modern forensic advances, her true identity and the circumstances of her death remain unsolved, leaving behind a chilling enigma that continues to intrigue investigators and the public alike.(commercial at 8:25)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Timothy Pitzen, a six-year-old boy from Aurora, Illinois, disappeared in May 2011 after his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, took him on a multi-day trip to zoos and waterparks before taking her own life in a Rockford motel. In her suicide note, Amy claimed that Timothy was "safe" with someone who loved him and that he would never be found. Despite extensive searches and investigations by law enforcement, including retracing Amy's steps and analyzing her last communications, Timothy has never been located, leaving behind a haunting mystery. Over a decade later, the case remains unsolved, with no confirmed sightings of Timothy and no conclusive evidence of his fate. His father, James Pitzen, continues to hold out hope that his son is still alive, as investigators maintain an open case, using advanced technology and updated images to try and locate Timothy.

When Alex Acosta sat before Congress to explain himself, what unfolded was less an act of accountability and more a masterclass in bureaucratic self-preservation. He painted the 2008 Epstein plea deal as a “strategic compromise,” claiming a federal trial might have been too risky because victims were “unreliable” and evidence was “thin.” In reality, federal prosecutors had a mountain of corroborating witness statements, corroborative travel logs, and sworn victim testimony—yet Acosta gave Epstein the deal of the century. The so-called non-prosecution agreement wasn't justice; it was a backroom surrender, executed in secrecy, without even notifying the victims. When pressed on this, Acosta spun excuses about legal precedent and “jurisdictional confusion,” never once admitting the obvious: his office protected a rich, politically connected predator at the expense of dozens of trafficked girls.Even more damning was Acosta's insistence that he acted out of pragmatism, not pressure. He denied that anyone “higher up” told him to back off—even though he once told reporters that he'd been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Under oath, he downplayed that statement, twisting it into bureaucratic double-speak. He even claimed the deal achieved “some level of justice” because Epstein registered as a sex offender—a hollow justification that only exposed how insulated from reality he remains. Acosta never showed remorse for the irreparable damage caused by his cowardice. His congressional testimony reeked of moral rot, the same rot that let a billionaire pedophile walk free while survivors were left to pick up the pieces.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Acosta Transcript.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

If the congressional oversight committee into Jeffrey Epstein is serious about finding the truth, then Les Wexner needs to be subpoenaed and put under oath—no excuses, no polite letters, no “he's cooperating privately” nonsense. Wexner wasn't some bystander who accidentally bumped into Epstein at a fundraiser—he bankrolled him, empowered him, and gave him access to obscene wealth and influence. For years, Epstein wasn't just Wexner's “financial adviser”—he had full power of attorney over the billionaire's empire, access to his private jets, mansions, and inner circle. Epstein even lived in one of Wexner's homes for free, the same mansion in New York where some victims later said they were assaulted. If this committee can call low-level bureaucrats and media figures, but can't drag in the man who gave Epstein the keys to his financial kingdom, then it's not a real investigation—it's a stage play.Wexner's fingerprints are all over Epstein's rise, and yet he's managed to slither through every official inquiry untouched. He has never been forced to answer, under oath, how much he knew about Epstein's activities, how much money flowed between them, and why Epstein continued to represent himself as part of the “Wexner Foundation” years after their supposed split. Multiple victims have alleged sexual encounters or trafficking ties linked to Wexner's properties. And still, the so-called oversight committee tiptoes around him like he's untouchable. If Congress is truly about justice, it's time to stop pretending the architect of Epstein's legitimacy was just another “duped billionaire.” Drag him in, swear him in, and make him answer. Anything less is another cover-up.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Prince Andrew's downfall runs far deeper than Jeffrey Epstein. For decades, he's lived a life of obscene privilege, spending like a billionaire while earning like a civil servant, and somehow the palace never asked how he was funding it. The truth is, Andrew's entire lifestyle — the jets, the mansions, the security, the “business trips” — has been bankrolled by shady “friends,” loans that never made sense, and suspicious “gifts” that just happened to align with favors. Epstein didn't create his corruption; he exposed it. The scandal ripped open decades of royal freeloading and backroom deals that turned the Queen's favorite son into the monarchy's biggest liability.Now the world's finally catching up. The Epstein scandal may have started the fall, but the financial questions will finish it. The bills are coming due, and for once, there's no palace PR team that can clean it up. The image of the dashing duke is gone — what's left is a man who built his entire life on entitlement and other people's money. And as the investigation into his finances grows louder, the truth is clear: Prince Andrew isn't just disgraced — he's the poster boy for everything rotten about royal privilege.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Public demands answers about Prince Andrew's unexplained wealth sources | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein built his empire on manipulation—preying on vulnerable girls who society would later dismiss as “unreliable.” His entire scheme was designed so that when the truth came out, the victims' credibility could be attacked and the public would fall for it. Even after his death, that same defense is still being used by his allies, lawyers, and media sympathizers. The people who demand “proof” and mock survivors are doing Epstein's work for him, playing right into the strategy he set in motion decades ago. And the worst part? Many of the powerful figures who partied, traveled, and did business with him refuse to sit for questioning or hand over records. If they were innocent, they'd welcome an investigation—but their silence screams otherwise.The truth is simple: the system protected Epstein, and it's still protecting those who enabled him. The survivors deserve a full reckoning, not another PR cleanup for the rich. Every politician, banker, and celebrity who covered for Epstein shares his guilt, and no amount of spin can change that. The public doesn't owe them the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre's unpublished memoir The Billionaire's Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein's world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel. The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein's orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein's high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In 2021, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York allowed Virginia Giuffre's civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew to proceed, rejecting the Duke's attempts to have the case dismissed. Andrew's legal team had argued that Giuffre's 2009 settlement agreement with Jeffrey Epstein protected him from liability, but Kaplan ruled that the document's language was too vague to guarantee immunity for the prince. The judge also rejected efforts by Andrew's attorneys to delay proceedings or challenge jurisdiction, stating that service had been properly carried out and that the court had the authority to move forward.Throughout the pretrial stages, Judge Kaplan issued several pointed warnings to Andrew's legal team, cautioning them against what he saw as stalling and procedural gamesmanship. At one point, he rebuked their reliance on “technical arguments” instead of addressing the substantive claims, making it clear he would not tolerate obstruction. His firm handling of the case underscored that no one, royal or otherwise, was above the law. Ultimately, the case never went to trial—Prince Andrew settled with Giuffre in early 2022—but Kaplan's rulings were pivotal in ensuring that the lawsuit could not be quietly swept aside.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In December 2023, Judge Loretta Preska of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ordered a massive unsealing of Jeffrey Epstein–related documents from the Ghislaine Maxwell defamation case. These files, long kept under seal, contained names of associates, depositions, and exhibits that had been hidden for years. Preska ruled that the public interest outweighed any remaining privacy concerns, emphasizing that secrecy was no longer justified except for information identifying minor victims. The decision paved the way for one of the largest Epstein document releases yet—revealing hundreds of pages that shed light on how Epstein and Maxwell operated their network and who may have been connected to it.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit later affirmed the underlying principle behind Preska's ruling, upholding that the presumption of public access applies to judicial records in Epstein-related litigation. This affirmation followed the precedent set in Brown v. Maxwell (2019), where the court found that lower courts must provide a “particularized review” before keeping such documents sealed. By affirming the transparency mandate, the Second Circuit reinforced the public's right to know and ensured that future attempts to hide materials related to Epstein's crimes would face steep judicial resistance. Together, these rulings represent a rare and decisive push toward accountability in a case long plagued by secrecy and institutional protection.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal originated from her conviction in December 2021 for facilitating the sexual abuse of underage girls by Jeffrey Epstein. After being found guilty on five of six counts and sentenced in June 2022 to 20 years in prison, her legal team sought to overturn the conviction largely by arguing that a 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) made between Epstein and federal prosecutors in Florida should have shielded her from being prosecuted in New York. They contended that the language in the NPA (“the United States … will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein”) prevented her prosecution as a co-conspirator.However, her appeal ultimately failed. On September 17 2024 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the conviction, finding the Florida NPA did not bind the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York.

Prince Andrew's latest demand has drawn widespread ridicule after reports revealed that he's only willing to move out of the 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor if he and Sarah Ferguson are each given separate replacement homes. The disgraced Duke is reportedly pushing for Frogmore Cottage—the former residence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—for himself, and Adelaide Cottage—currently used by Prince William and Princess Catherine—for Ferguson. The proposal is being described as an “absurd trade-off,” effectively turning what should have been a downsizing into a double housing upgrade. His insistence comes despite mounting pressure from King Charles III for him to vacate Royal Lodge, where he remains under a 75-year lease paying what has been described as a “peppercorn rent.”The demand highlights the tone-deaf entitlement that continues to define Andrew's post-scandal life. Rather than accept a single, smaller residence, he's attempting to leverage his position for even more royal property—despite being stripped of public duties and embroiled in reputational disaster over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Critics have blasted the move as a shameless attempt to cling to privilege and status while ignoring public outrage. The optics are particularly bad given the ongoing financial scrutiny of the royal family and the contrasting humility shown by other royals. Andrew's refusal to simply move out underscores how detached he remains from reality—a prince still playing power games in exile from relevance.to contact mebobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew will only give up his royal residence if one massive demand is metBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The fact that Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Harvey Weinstein together at a shooting party at his Royal Lodge estate is nothing short of grotesque. You've got a convicted pedophile, his notorious fixer, and one of Hollywood's most infamous sexual predators all rubbing shoulders with a royal — and this wasn't some random social accident. It was a deliberate gathering of privilege, power, and moral decay. The timing makes it even worse: Epstein would be arrested just eight days later. The entire event reeks of the entitled arrogance that has defined Andrew's downfall — a man so insulated by his own delusion that he thought nothing of entertaining predators under the Queen's roof.What this shooting weekend really exposes is how the elite operate in their own lawless orbit, where accountability doesn't exist and reputation is protected at all costs. These weren't just casual acquaintances; they were connected through networks of money, influence, and shared secrecy. The absurdity of it — a prince firing shotguns with the architects of modern depravity — shows that the rot wasn't just within Epstein's world, but in every institution that gave him cover. It's not a scandal of association anymore; it's evidence of a cultural sickness where power shields the wicked and mocks justice itself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Her legal team has asserted that Maxwell faced a credible threat from other inmates while in federal custody — specifically, they claimed that someone was plotting to murder her in her sleep for cash and infamy. According to media reports, the threat was described in filings ahead of her sentencing, where her lawyers argued these dangers as part of a mitigation case.Separately, Maxwell has also raised concerns about her physical condition behind bars: her lawyers allege she lost more than 15 pounds and experienced noticeable hair loss, attributing this to “extraordinarily onerous conditions” including extensive searches, frequent awakenings, and punitive detention practices. Prison officials countered that she remained at a normal weight and in good health.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The nickname “nonce” became associated with Prince Andrew following the exposure of his deep ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations made by Virginia Giuffre that he had sexual contact with her when she was underage. In British slang, “nonce” is a highly derogatory term for someone accused of child sexual abuse, and the label stuck after Andrew's disastrous 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, where his denials — including the infamous “I don't sweat” line — made him a public laughingstock. The term spread rapidly through social media, satire, and even pop culture, culminating in the release of the punk song Prince Andrew Is a Sweaty Nonce, which mocked both his scandal and his implausible defenses. The nickname became shorthand for his fall from grace and a reflection of the public's disgust toward his alleged conduct and lack of accountability.When Prince Philip died in April 2021, Andrew maneuvered his way into the funeral despite being stripped of royal duties and public standing. Attendance was strictly limited to thirty people due to COVID restrictions, but Andrew, as Philip's son, was included as a matter of protocol — a decision that sparked backlash among both the public and palace insiders. Reports suggested Andrew was eager to use the event as a soft return to royal life, positioning himself visibly in the procession and trying to rehabilitate his image through sympathy optics. While the palace maintained his inclusion was a family matter, critics viewed it as a calculated move by Andrew to reinsert himself into royal proceedings after the Epstein scandal had effectively exiled him from public life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Despite an extensive search involving helicopters, drones, search dogs, and hundreds of volunteers, no trace of her has ever been found. Theories surrounding her disappearance range from a fall in the rugged terrain to getting lost, while some speculate about foul play. Samantha's family, particularly her mother, Lisa Sayers, and her boyfriend, Kevin Dares, have continued private search efforts, though no new evidence has emerged. As of the most recent updates, her case remains unsolved, leaving friends, family, and the public searching for answers in one of Washington's most baffling missing person cases.(commercial at 7:26)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

On May 25, 2003, at Luanda's Quatro de Fevereiro Airport in Angola, a Boeing 727 with tail number N844AA mysteriously took off without clearance, piloted by Ben Padilla—a seasoned aviation mechanic, flight engineer, and private pilot—and another unidentified individual. The plane, originally a commercial airliner converted to cargo use, was undergoing maintenance when it suddenly taxied down the runway and vanished into the skies over the Atlantic Ocean, leaving behind no trace. Despite international search efforts involving the FBI, CIA, and various aviation authorities, no concrete leads or evidence ever surfaced, fueling countless theories ranging from financial theft and clandestine operations to possible terrorist involvement. Padilla's family believes he was coerced into the incident, while others speculate on his possible involvement. The mystery of the missing Boeing 727 and Ben Padilla remains one of aviation's most perplexing cases, with neither the man nor the massive aircraft ever found, raising questions about how such a disappearance could occur in the age of modern surveillance.(commercial at 8:27)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Kyron Horman, a seven-year-old boy from Portland, Oregon, disappeared on June 4, 2010, after being dropped off at Skyline Elementary School by his stepmother, Terri Horman, for a science fair. Despite an extensive search—the largest in Oregon's history—no trace of Kyron was ever found. Suspicion quickly fell on Terri after inconsistencies in her story and reports of a previous murder-for-hire plot against Kyron's father surfaced. Though Terri has consistently denied involvement, many still believe she holds the key to the mystery. The case remains unsolved, with law enforcement continuing to treat it as active.

The newly filed lawsuits against major banks like Bank of America and BNY Mellon allege that these institutions knowingly enabled Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking operations by providing him with banking services, ignoring red flags, and failing to file required Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). For example, one complaint claims that Bank of America routed payments through an account opened at Epstein's direction, and that BNY processed around $378 million in payments linked to women trafficked by Epstein. These suits open a path for court-ordered disclosure of internal bank documents — account records, wire transfers, risk-compliance memos — which are likely to reveal the depth of financial institutions' awareness and involvement in Epstein's network.Beyond illuminating the financial mechanics of Epstein's operation, the lawsuits could map the broader institutional infrastructure: how Epstein's wealth and connections were supported by legacy banks, investment vehicles, and private banking units; how high-net-worth clients were managed even amid serious criminal allegations; and how oversight failures enabled illicit flows tied to trafficking. If discovery proceeds, it may force banks to produce internal logs showing when they flagged (or ignored) Epstein-linked activity, when they escalated concerns (or didn't), and whether senior executives were alerted. This could shift the narrative from one of Epstein acting alone to one where the financial sector played a structural role — in effect uncovering the shadow-architecture behind his empire.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawsuits against banks with Epstein ties may shed new light on financier's crimes | Jeffrey Epstein | The GuardianBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In recent days, MPs in the UK Parliament have ramped up pressure on Prince Andrew over his long-standing residence at Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park and the lease arrangements tied to it. The estate, part of the Crown's property holdings, was leased by Andrew in 2003 for 75 years in return for a £1 million payment and he paid for around £7.5 million in refurbishments, but has reportedly paid only a symbolic “peppercorn” annual rent for more than two decades. Critics argue the arrangement lacks transparency and raises questions about taxpayer interests and the Crown estate's oversight. At the same time, Andrew's ties to his disgraced former friend Jeffrey Epstein and fresh allegations by Virginia Giuffre in her posthumous memoir have intensified calls for accountability and for Parliament to weigh in.In response, several parties in Parliament are exploring unprecedented steps: the possibility of a full House of Commons debate on Andrew's conduct, and even legislation to permanently strip his titles. Although he has announced that he will cease using his title of Duke of York following discussions with King Charles III, only an Act of Parliament can formally remove it. The government so far has been reluctant to schedule a debate, arguing the Royal Family wishes Parliament to focus on other “important issues,” but opposition parties like the Liberal Democrats are preparing to use opposition-day debates to force scrutiny. Many MPs say the moment demands full transparency and that Andrew (and the Crown estate) should give evidence under oath.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew may face humiliating public rebuke in Parliament as MPs seek opportunity to question his lifestyle and rent-free occupation of state-owned mansion | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre's unpublished memoir The Billionaire's Playboy Club recounts her recruitment into Jeffrey Epstein's world as a 16-year-old working at Mar-a-Lago, where she says Ghislaine Maxwell lured her in with promises of opportunity and travel.

In her posthumously published memoir, Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Giuffre alleges that while she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates she was sent to a “well-known Prime Minister” who raped her “more savagely than anyone had before”. She describes being choked until unconscious, bleeding from multiple wounds, and begging Epstein not to return her to that person — only to be told coldly “You'll get that sometimes.”The identity of the prime minister remains undisclosed in the memoir, but the revelation has stirred renewed scrutiny of the power networks and political complicity surrounding Epstein's trafficking operations. According to media coverage, Giuffre's ghostwriter claims to know all the “names in Epstein's files” and the book has reignited debates about immunity, accountability and how high the cover-up goes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein accuser's memoir alleges rape by prime minister, recalls Epstein-Clinton ties | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In November 2019 a video surfaced in which Robach can be heard complaining—off-camera and apparently unaware she was being recorded—that ABC News had shelved a 2015 interview she conducted with Virginia Roberts Giuffre (formerly “Virginia Roberts”)—one of the women accusing Jeffrey Epstein and members of his circle of sexual-trafficking of minors. The tape (ultimately leaked by the activist group Project Veritas) includes Robach claiming that higher-ups at the network told her “Who's Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story.” She also suggests the reason the story was killed was pressure from the British royal family via the palace, because the allegations involved Prince Andrew. In the tape Robach says: “I tried for three years to get it on… What we had was unreal… Bill Clinton — we had everything.”In response, both Robach and ABC News issued statements. Robach said she was “caught in a private moment of frustration,” clarifying that the 2015 interview “didn't meet our standards” for airing because the network could not secure sufficient corroborating evidence, and that she was referencing what Giuffre alleged, not what ABC had verified. ABC News stated that while “not all of our reporting met our standards to air,” they have never ceased investigating Epstein's story and continue to dedicate resources, including a documentary and podcast series. They also stated that the story was not quashed for access reasons.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Johnny Gosch, a 12-year-old paperboy from West Des Moines, Iowa, disappeared on the morning of September 5, 1982, while on his delivery route. Witnesses reported seeing him talking to a man in a car before he vanished, though no clear evidence or motive ever surfaced. His disappearance gained national attention, marking one of the earliest cases of a missing child featured on milk cartons. Johnny's mother, Noreen Gosch, became a determined advocate for missing children, pushing for better laws and protocols around child abductions and tirelessly seeking answers.Over the years, the case became surrounded by numerous theories and mysterious claims. In 1997, Noreen claimed that Johnny visited her briefly in the middle of the night, saying he was living under a different identity and still in danger, but this account was never substantiated. Other theories, including possible involvement in human trafficking and connections to a high-profile pedophile ring, emerged but lacked conclusive evidence. Despite extensive media coverage and ongoing investigation, Johnny's case remains unsolved, leaving his family and the public to question what truly happened that morning in 1982.(commercial at 10:12)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://allthatsinteresting.com/johnny-goschBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

On February 22, 2024, 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was tragically murdered while jogging on the University of Georgia campus in Athens. Her body was discovered in Oconee Forest Park near Lake Herrick, with the cause of death determined as blunt force trauma and asphyxiation. The assailant, 26-year-old José Antonio Ibarra, an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, attacked Riley during her run, leading to her untimely death.Ibarra was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape. In November 2024, following a bench trial, he was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The case drew national attention, fueling debates on immigration policies and public safety. In response, the U.S. Congress passed the "Laken Riley Act," mandating the detention of undocumented immigrants charged with or convicted of certain crimes. President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on January 29, 2025, marking it as the first legislation of his second term.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Lisanne Froon and Kris Kremers were two young Dutch women from Amersfoort, Netherlands, who traveled to Panama in March 2014 for a volunteer trip. Both in their early twenties—Froon was 22 and Kremers 21—they were adventurous, responsible, and well-educated, described by friends and family as bright and full of life. Their plan was to spend several weeks in Boquete, a mountain town popular with tourists, where they would work with local children and explore the nearby jungles and trails during their free time. Before their volunteer work officially began, they decided to take a hike on April 1, 2014, along the scenic El Pianista trail, a route known for its beauty but also its remote and treacherous terrain.When the two failed to return, a massive search effort was launched involving local authorities, Dutch investigators, and volunteer teams. Days later, some of their belongings—including Lisanne's camera and Kris's backpack—were discovered along a riverbank deep in the jungle. The recovered photos and data painted a chilling picture: early selfies from their hike showed them happy and carefree, but later nighttime images suggested they were lost, disoriented, and possibly injured. Fragments of their bones and remains were eventually found, but their cause of death remains unresolved. The mysterious circumstances of their disappearance—combined with eerie photographs and strange phone activity—have fueled countless theories ranging from tragic accident to foul play, turning their story into one of the most haunting modern travel mysteries.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

When Alex Acosta sat before Congress to explain himself, what unfolded was less an act of accountability and more a masterclass in bureaucratic self-preservation. He painted the 2008 Epstein plea deal as a “strategic compromise,” claiming a federal trial might have been too risky because victims were “unreliable” and evidence was “thin.” In reality, federal prosecutors had a mountain of corroborating witness statements, corroborative travel logs, and sworn victim testimony—yet Acosta gave Epstein the deal of the century. The so-called non-prosecution agreement wasn't justice; it was a backroom surrender, executed in secrecy, without even notifying the victims. When pressed on this, Acosta spun excuses about legal precedent and “jurisdictional confusion,” never once admitting the obvious: his office protected a rich, politically connected predator at the expense of dozens of trafficked girls.Even more damning was Acosta's insistence that he acted out of pragmatism, not pressure. He denied that anyone “higher up” told him to back off—even though he once told reporters that he'd been informed Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Under oath, he downplayed that statement, twisting it into bureaucratic double-speak. He even claimed the deal achieved “some level of justice” because Epstein registered as a sex offender—a hollow justification that only exposed how insulated from reality he remains. Acosta never showed remorse for the irreparable damage caused by his cowardice. His congressional testimony reeked of moral rot, the same rot that let a billionaire pedophile walk free while survivors were left to pick up the pieces.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Acosta Transcript.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In early 2021, the Maxwell family launched a website called RealGhislaine.com, which they described as a factual information hub designed to counter what they called “media distortions” about their sister. The family positioned the site as a defense against “character assassination,” featuring photos, statements, and claims that Ghislaine Maxwell was being unfairly treated in U.S. custody. The website portrayed her as a wrongfully targeted woman enduring “cruel and unusual” prison conditions, denied fair bail, and vilified because of her association with Jeffrey Epstein. The site also included a section where her siblings—most vocally Ian and Kevin Maxwell—asserted that she was being used as a scapegoat for the failures of U.S. authorities to properly monitor Epstein before his death. It was a deliberate PR strategy meant to shift attention away from the charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy that had already led to her conviction, reframing her image from enabler to victim.The family's broader campaign extended far beyond the website. They conducted coordinated interviews, published op-eds, and gave statements to outlets like the BBC, The Independent, and The Telegraph, all echoing similar talking points: that Ghislaine's trial was “tainted by media bias,” that she was “denied due process,” and that she was “paying the price for Epstein's crimes.” Critics, including lawyers for Epstein's victims, slammed the PR campaign as tone-deaf and manipulative, accusing the family of whitewashing her crimes and retraumatizing survivors by trying to rewrite the narrative. Victim advocates said the site and interviews were an attempt to maintain Maxwell's social reputation and influence elite opinion, especially in Britain, where the family retained connections in media and politics. Even after her conviction, the family kept the site active and continued issuing statements insisting that her appeal would “expose systemic injustice” rather than re-examine her crimes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@Protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In regard to Maxwell, Edwards described her role as central and monstrous — saying she “fed a monster” and that “without Ghislaine's help, Jeffrey Epstein could never have abused more than 500 victims.” He said that Maxwell ought to answer questions fully about her business relationship with Epstein, “to the victims, to law enforcement and to the public,” not simply hide behind her reputation. After her conviction, Edwards hailed the outcome as a sign that “our system works,” noting it was a “major victory” for survivors and that it showed “nobody is above the law.” At the same time he pointed out that her courtroom remarks amounted only to a passive acknowledgement of pain, rather than full accountability.Turning to Prince Andrew, Edwards has been sharper and more accusatory — though he also notes legal constraints around saying more. He has asserted that Andrew's connections to Epstein's network are undeniable and warrant deeper scrutiny, saying Andrew does have information and that the settlement in the civil case does not equate to truth or innocence. In one interview he went as far as suggesting the Prince is “living a life of ridicule for his stupidity” in the way he handled the allegations and the fallout. He emphasized that while the settlement avoided a trial, it still leaves serious questions unanswered about complicity, accountability, and the broader ecosystem of abuse.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
