Karen Silkwood was a mother, a union activist, and a whistleblower who sacrificed everything to expose corporate negligence and protect her fellow workers. Whether her fatal crash was a tragic accident or a targeted hit, the disappearance of her binder of evidence and the tens of pounds of unaccounted plutonium remain two of the biggest unanswered mysteries in American industrial history. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

On March 6, 1983, 21-year-old Cheryl Ann Araujo walked into Big Dan's Tavern in New Bedford, Massachusetts, to buy cigarettes. What followed was a nightmare: a two-hour assault on a pool table while a room of bystanders watched, cheered, and did nothing. When Cheryl chose to report the crime, she became the central figure in the first televised rape trial in American history, where her name and address were broadcast nationwide and defense attorneys subjected her to brutal victim-blaming cross-examinations.

Mikita Brottman is an acclaimed nonfiction author, psychoanalyst, and professor whose work explores the darker and more complicated corners of human behavior. Her books include A Double Life, Guilty Creatures, Couple Found Slain, and An Unexplained Death, a Gold Dagger Award finalist. With professional experience in forensic psychiatric facilities and the Maryland prison system, Brottman brings a unique psychological perspective to true crime. Rather than simply asking who committed a crime and how they did it, she digs deeper into the relationships, obsessions, motivations, and emotional dynamics that can exist beneath the surface. Her newest book, A Double Life: The Anatomy of a Premeditated Murder, coming September 29, 2026 from Citadel Books, examines the shocking 2015 murder of Florida physician Teresa Sievers. What initially appeared to be a burglary gone wrong ultimately revealed a much more complicated story involving marriage, obsession, friendship, betrayal, and the intense bond between Mark Sievers and his childhood best friend. In our conversation, Brottman discusses what drew her to the Sievers case, the psychological complexities surrounding the people involved, and why the most compelling true-crime stories often go far beyond the crime itself. We also explore her approach to writing about real people and real violence, and what happens when the neat explanations we want from a murder case don't necessarily exist.

When 21-year-old aspiring model Juliana Redding was found strangled in her Santa Monica apartment, police uncovered a bizarre crime scene: a lit candle left in a gas-filled room intended to trigger a lethal explosion.

On April 13, 1987, 54-year-old psychiatric nurse and prison minister Retha Welch was found brutally murdered in her Newport, Kentucky home. Police quickly set their sights on William Virgil, a recently released inmate who admitted to a prior relationship with her. A jury convicted him in 1988, but decades later, the conviction unravelled amidst recanted snitch testimonies, missing rape kits, and DNA from three unknown men on preserved slides. Was William Virgil the victim of systemic police misconduct, or did legal technicalities and degraded decades-old evidence allow a killer to walk free? --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

In this episode, we sit down with Nikki Young, host of the Serial Napper podcast, to take a deep dive into the disturbing and unsolved disappearance of 22-year-old Liam Tomen. On the weekend of January 31, 2025, Liam and two friends traveled from Whitby, Ontario, to the resort village of Mont Tremblant, Quebec, for a ski trip. After spending the evening at local village spots—ending at Le P'tit Caribou—Liam got separated from his friends. Surveillance footage captures him walking directly toward his hotel, L'Auberge du Voyageur, just minutes away. He never made it inside. Despite extensive search efforts using cadaver dogs, snowmobiles, helicopters, and pond drainage, no trace of Liam was found during the winter. Months later, as the snow melted, his wallet was recovered near a parking lot—intact with his ID and bank cards, but stripped of cash. With phone pings raising questions and a white vehicle spotted in the area, Liam's family continues to fight for answers. Key Case Details Name: Liam Tomen (22 years old) Date Disappeared: Late night Jan 31 / Early morning Feb 1, 2025 Last Known Location: Mont Tremblant Village, Quebec (near L'Auberge du Voyageur) Last Digital Activity: Text message sent at 3:15 AM; final cell tower ping on Feb 2 at 6:42 PM Key Evidence: Wallet recovered after spring thaw (cash missing) Reward Info: $50,000 reward active for information leading to his whereabouts Guest Information Guest: Nikki Young (@SerialNapper on all social media!)

In light of the recent A&E documentary about "new" evidence in the Scott Peterson case, we wanted to share our 2018 episode about the murder of his wife, Laci, and son, Connor. Even though this doc promises new findings, not much has changed from this recording aside from better recording equipment. On Christmas Eve of 2002, Scott Peterson left his pregnant wife, Laci, at home to go on a fishing trip. Scott returned home later that day to find his wife gone with no indication of where she may have gone. Police found no evidence of foul play at the house, but clues quickly emerged to call Scott's alibi into question. Did Scott Peterson murder his wife? Or is he, too, a victim in this scenario? --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On July 3, 2023, a man walked into the Nail1st Salon on Piedmont Road in Atlanta, Georgia, demanding cash and gesturing as if he had a weapon hidden in his shoulder bag. Instead of the panic, screams, and instant compliance he likely anticipated, he was met with a wall of pure, unbothered calm. From customers casually looking up to an employee who literally kept answering the phone, the salon's refusal to participate turned an attempted armed robbery into 30 seconds of pure secondhand embarrassment. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!
