Research and Rabbit Holes for TDF "The Lady in Black"After our first-ever watch-together episode, it was time to do what we do best: pull on every loose historical thread we could find and see where it led. Spoiler alert: it led to failed divorces, mysterious house histories, censured juries, tornadoes, and at least one rabbit hole that ended in a spectacular dead end.This week, Amy brings the receipts leaving listeners and Megan equally surprised by every twist and turn. We discuss a podcast review so sweet it nearly makes us cry, the accidental Midwestern art of saying "uff da" and "ope," and why the best podcasts feel less like shows and more like hanging out with friends.Then we head back to Marshalltown, Iowa, where the questions only get stranger. Did the house have a dark history before Kelly and Mike moved in? Did their paranormal investigations bring something home with them? Why did previous residents report nothing unusual? And how exactly does a house drop nearly 70% in price?Along the way, we uncover an eerie letter from the homeowners themselves, featuring flying wine glasses, mystery scratches, grandchildren chatting with an old woman upstairs, and a laptop that somehow froze on a photograph of Angie Braddock's gravestone before anyone knew who she was. Because apparently normal coincidences were not invited to this party.We also dive deep into the story of K.C. Roberts, the faith healer at the center of multiple death investigations. That sends us into discussions about Christian Science, coroner's juries, old-timey public shaming, legal loopholes, and the frustrating realization that some human behaviors haven't changed much in the last 125 years.Plus:· Megan invents new legal theories despite not attending law school.· Amy becomes temporarily obsessed with spelling variations of the same man's name.· We mourn a very good dog.· We discover that Angie once tried to divorce her husband.· And we once again prove that no historical mystery is safe from becoming a tangent.· So, grab your mug of hot cocoa and join us where… The Activity Continues.Content Warning:There's some murder, nothing explicit.

Pretty Lies and Alibis joins True Crimes with Jen Coffindaffer FBI for a wide-ranging discussion on the Hooker cases, the Nancy Guthrie investigation, Alex Murdaugh, and Kouri Richins—breaking down the evidence, theories, and headlines surrounding some of today's most talked-about true crime cases.#TrueCrime #NancyGuthrie #AlexMurdaugh #KouriRichins #BreakTheCase #PrettyLiesAndAlibis #CrimeAnalysis #CoffindafferFBI
Craig Unger analyzes the specific allegations regarding meetings in Madrid and Paris that formed the core of the October Surprise deal. While alibis were created for both Bill Casey and George H.W. Bush, Unger and reporter Bob Parry found evidence to puncture these claims, such as Casey's supposed presence at an OSS reunion in London that he actually slipped away from. The Madrid meeting with Iranian cleric Mehdi Karrubi in July 1980 is where the parameters for delaying the hostage release were first sketched out. Regarding the Paris meeting, Unger believes the preponderance of evidence suggests Bush was there to provide a high-level "imprimatur" for the deal. The Iranians were desperate for American aircraft parts due to the sudden invasion by Iraq in September 1980, providing the Republicans with significant leverage. Unger contends that delivering arms to a hostile power holding Americans was politically unthinkable, making these secret negotiations a form of treason. (6/8)1903

Ein verschwundenes Original, eine täuschend echte Fälschung und drei Ermittler, die im Dunkeln tappen – zumindest teilweise. In dieser Episode von Playthrough führt Toby unsere drei Ermittler Daniel, Peter und Philipp durch den zweiten Akt des Nagaraja-Falls des innovative Rätselspiel Perspectives von Matthew Dunstan und Dave Neale (auf Deutsch im Vertrieb von Asmodee).Ein unbezahlbares Artefakt wurde gegen eine Fälschung ausgetauscht, und alle Augen richten sich auf eine Hauptverdächtige: Anjali Yadav. Die Beweislage im Museum von Neudehli scheint erdrückend – ein roter Mantel auf den Überwachungskameras und eine dunkle Vergangenheit in der Kunstfälschung machen die Kuratorin zur perfekten Zielscheibe.In dieser Folge stürzen sich Toby, Daniel, Phil und Pete in den zweiten Akt des Krimi-Spiels Perspectives. Doch während die Ermittler die Akten wälzen, stoßen sie auf Ungereimtheiten, die nicht ins Bild passen. Was hat ein indischer Wetterbericht mit der Glaubwürdigkeit einer Videoaufnahme zu tun? Warum spielt ein digitaler Grafikfehler auf „PC6“ plötzlich eine Schlüsselrolle? Und wie konnte ein banaler Versandkatalog zur wichtigsten Spur werden?Das Team muss heute messerscharf kombinieren, um zwischen manipulierten Daten und echten Alibis zu unterscheiden. Erleben Sie eine investigative Achterbahnfahrt zwischen 7-Segment-Anzeigen und kryptischen E-Mails. Wird Anjali Yadav zu Recht beschuldigt, oder zieht im Hintergrund jemand ganz anderes die Fäden? Rätselt mit und findet heraus, ob unser Team den Zeitstempel-Trick rechtzeitig durchschaut!Jetzt reinhören und mitkombinieren!

In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down the day Brendan Banfield finally took the stand in his murder trial, following the dramatic collapse of the defense's private investigator under cross-examination. Prosecutors methodically challenged the PI's claims about phone locations, FetLife activity, Telegram usage, and Gmail account creation, emphasizing that multiple devices existed in the household and that the witness could not determine who was actually operating them.The Commonwealth highlighted key moments when Christine was active on her laptop while illicit accounts were accessed elsewhere, weakening the defense narrative.Brendan Banfield then testified about his long marriage to Christine, their careers, family life, and their young daughter. Jurors were shown numerous family photos as the defense attempted to humanize him, though prosecutors objected to what they argued was repetitive emotional evidence. Banfield admitted to having an affair with the family's au pair, Juliana, describing how it began while Christine and their daughter were out of town. He denied any planning related to Christine's murder. He also walked through the morning of the killings, describing leaving early for work, stopping at McDonald's, receiving a panicked call from Juliana about a strange man entering the house, unsuccessfully trying to reach Christine, and then driving back home.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-lies-and-alibis--4447192/support.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we start a deep dive into the mysterious death of 18-year-old UC Boulder student Megan Trussell, whose body was found near the 40-mile marker of Boulder Canyon Drive in Colorado after she vanished from the University of Colorado Boulder campus Authorities ruled her death the result of amphetamine toxicity combined with exposure to cold, classifying it as self-harm — but Megan's family strongly disputes that conclusion.We walk through who Megan was, the close-knit family she came from, and the timeline leading up to her disappearance on February 9, 2025.The episode covers troubling roommate dynamics, unanswered texts, empty prescription bottles, and campus police delays before federal agencies became involved. It also explains how law enforcement used Stingray technology to track Megan's phone as it appeared to move miles away from campus into a dark, icy canyon late at night.Part One ends with the discovery of Megan's body near a drainage culvert, unusual clothing damage, a missing shoe, and physical evidence that has left her family — and investigators — with more questions than answers.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-lies-and-alibis--4447192/support.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

Some criminals plead innocent.Some plead insanity.And some… blame the dead.In this Late Night Legends episode, Tim drags us through the most unhinged chapter of legal history: real court cases where defendants tried to escape justice by blaming ghosts, demons, possessions, curses, and unseen forces.From murder suspects claiming they were possessed, to defendants insisting spirits committed the crime, to full-blown paranormal alibis that made judges and juries question reality itself — we count down the Top 10 most outrageous supernatural defenses ever recorded.Did any of them work?Did any judge actually buy it?And how far will someone go to avoid prison?The answers are darker — and funnier — than you'd expect.Here at the Late Night Legends, we think spooky season should last all year long!Join our spooky community to ask the Legends questions, and keep the conversation going!https://discord.gg/kESdgRH47U
In this episode of Pretty Lies & Alibis, we break down Day 1 of the Kouri Richins evidentiary hearing and the key expert testimony battles unfolding ahead of her upcoming trial.The defense sought to block three of the state's expert witnesses, focusing heavily on the controversial “Pathway to Violence” model. Defense expert Dr. Fox testified that the model is not scientifically reliable, lacks peer-reviewed validation, has no known error rate, and cannot be used to predict individual acts of violence — arguing that its use amounts to profiling rather than science under Utah Rule of Evidence 702.The state countered with testimony from Dr. Ammon, who described the model as one of several tools used retrospectively in targeted violence prevention. The judge ultimately issued a partial ruling, limiting how the model may be used at trial.We also cover:The judge's decision allowing a handwriting expert to testify regarding alleged forgeryWhy testimony from Dr. Sherry Veneno was ruled not currently relevant — but could be revisitedWhy Day 2 of the hearing will not be livestreamed due to sealed evidenceDonate: (Thank you for your support!

I’m absolutely thrilled to have my amazing co-host from Love, Lies and Alibis, Hannah, joining me for this chilling dive into one of the most haunting cases from the classic Unsolved Mysteries series. Check out our other podcast here https://www.loveliesandalibis.com Be warned that it is a little darker than the stuff on this podcast In June 1988, 23-year-old Philip Innes Fraser—a bright, adventurous young man from Anchorage, Alaska, and the son of two prominent doctors—set out on a solo road trip south to start pre-med studies at Evergreen State College in Washington. Driving his packed black 1983 VW Jetta, Philip was full of promise. After surrendering his handguns at the Canadian border, he stopped at a remote café in the Yukon. That’s where everything went tragically wrong. unsolved.com unsolved.com At the Forty Mile Flats Café, witnesses saw Philip reluctantly pick up a nervous, clean-cut hitchhiker in his early 20s. It was an act of kindness on a lonely highway that would cost him his life. Hours later, that same hitchhiker was spotted driving Philip’s Jetta alone—boldly impersonating him. He shared intimate details of Philip’s life, family, and plans with strangers, even spending the night at a kind couple’s home while they fixed his car. Then, Philip’s burned-out Jetta was found abandoned in Prince George, British Columbia. reddit.com Weeks later, Philip’s body was discovered in a remote gravel pit—shot multiple times. The killer had vanished, taking Philip’s wallet, passport, and identity. substack.com The Unsettling Case of Philip Fraser: Killed by a Hitchhiker Featured on Unsolved Mysteries in 1992, this case of stolen identity and cold-blooded murder on Canada’s desolate highways still grips us today. Despite composites, leads, and speculation about serial killers, the hitchhiker has never been identified. Nearly 38 years later, Philip’s murder remains unsolved.

In this remastered episode from November 2022, we examine the constantly shifting alibi that Alex Murdaugh's defense team presented in the weeks before his murder trial. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down how Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin manipulated media coverage through strategically timed motions and carefully worded statements that technically told the truth while omitting crucial context. This episode also reveals the five key elements of a Murdaugh defense motion and shows how the defense team planted seeds of doubt through confusing exhibits and sensational headlines. Plus we reflect on what we now know after Alex's conviction, this episode serves as a masterclass in media literacy and the importance of scrutinizing sources—especially when they have a history of misleading the public.

This episode was done in front of an audience as a part of a panel at SWRFA (Southwest Regional Folk Alliance) conference in Austin, TX. This week, I sit down with legendary Texas singer-songwriter Bob Livingston — founding member of The Lost Gonzo Band and a central figure in the Austin “Cosmic Cowboy” movement. Bob shares vivid stories from his decades on the road with Jerry Jeff Walker, Michael Martin Murphey, and the Austin outlaw country scene. We talk about his adventures as a world traveler and cultural ambassador, and the way he continues to blend Texas songwriting with global influences. In a special moment, Bob also reads an excerpt from his forthcoming book, Gypsy Alibi: A Gonzo Memoir — giving us a taste of the humor, honesty, and wild tales that have defined his career. Whether you know him from Viva Terlingua, his award-winning solo records (Gypsy Alibi, Up the Flatland Stairs), or his cross-cultural projects (Cowboys & Indians), Bob Livingston embodies the spirit of Texas music: rooted in storytelling, but unafraid to wander.

Drei Schüsse. Drei Mal verfehlt.Eine Frau überlebt – knapp. Der Täter bleibt im Schatten, doch die Fäden führen zu einem Netz aus Begierde, Verrat und manipulierten Loyalitäten. Was wie ein schlechter Krimi klingt, ist ein realer Fall. Und der mutmaßliche Drahtzieher? Der steht jeden Tag im Gerichtssaal – aber nicht als Angeklagter.In dieser Folge geht es um eine scheinbar glückliche Ehe. Es geht um eine turbulente Affäre und es geht um einen unmoralischen Plan, der irgendwie nicht gelingen will.Trigger-Warnung: Mordanschlag, Betrug, Lügen, Gewalt, Mord *Alle oder einige Namen wurden geändert*Enthält Werbung*Enthält Affiliate-Links*++++Werde Finanzguru und behalte alle deine Konten im Blick
What kind of investigator looks at 22 stab wounds—some after death—and still calls it a suicide? That's the mystery we're unraveling today in the baffling case of Ellen Greenberg. For 14 years, logic has been tossed out the window while officials stuck to a ruling that defies all reason. But now, finally, something has shifted: the very medical examiner who once deemed Ellen's death a suicide has reversed course, admitting that the manner of death should be reconsidered. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to dissect the investigative red flags, behavioral patterns, and the infuriating lack of action that allowed this case to sit unresolved for over a decade. From untested DNA and missing fingerprints to a complete failure to investigate possible suspects, the gaps in this case are as glaring as they are disturbing. Was this a colossal failure of the system, or was someone pulling the strings to ensure Ellen's death remained classified as a suicide? And now that the truth is finally starting to crack through the surface—who's about to be held accountable? #EllenGreenberg #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #JusticeForEllen #FBIAnalysis #CrimeCoverUp #MurderMystery Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
