When the supernatural seeps into our world, it doesn't just leave behind fear—it can also leave sickness. From shadowy visitors to ominous dreams, some eerie paranormal encounters suggest that the price of witnessing the unknown may be paid in flesh and blood.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/SupernaturalSicknessREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/hp3ua63cFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: When the supernatural intrudes into our lives, it's not just our minds that are affected. We'll delve into a few bizarre cases where individuals fell gravely ill after brushes with the paranormal. Is it coincidence? Or something more sinister? And could these illnesses be due to the paranormal literally draining us of life? (Supernaturally Sick, Paranormally Poisoned) *** Helen Duncan made a living from conducting séances—until her uncanny knowledge of classified World War II tragedies spooked British authorities. (Britain's Last Witch) *** Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher whose ideas about mortality and utility extended beyond death. Bentham's wish for his body to be preserved and displayed as an "auto-icon" – so it could be seen publicly by all. And while his wishes were granted, it came with a few hiccups along the way… mostly with his poor head. (The Strange Story of Mr. Bentham's Corpse) *** Annie Dorman was discovered lifeless with a gunshot wound, sending shockwaves through her tight-knit community. Suicide seemed improbable, leaving detectives baffled and family perplexed. Was it a crime of passion, an accident, murder… or truly suicide? In a similar case, just a few years later, in the serene countryside of Greenwich, New York, the lifeless form of Maggie Hourigan is found, floating in a tranquil pool, speculation runs rampant. Were these cases suicide, as hastily concluded, horrible accidents… or sinister murders?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 17, 2024Weird Darkness gathers five accounts in this episode: people who fell gravely ill within days of a paranormal encounter, two unsolved deaths of young women in the late nineteenth century, a wartime medium jailed for witchcraft, a philosopher who arranged to have his own corpse put on permanent display, and the private oddities of history's most famous figures.It opens with the argument that anemia and anorexia-like wasting can follow a paranormal encounter within hours or days. The Franciscan monk Joseph McCabe, who died in 1955, catalogued dozens of people who developed anemia soon after nighttime visits he blamed on the Mesopotamian demons Lilu and Lilitu. Albert Bender, the Bridgeport, Connecticut man who launched the Men in Black mystery in the early 1950s, endured migraines, stomach pain, memory lapses, and sharp weight loss after three phantom figures ordered him to drop his UFO research, then recovered, married, and lived to 94. In 1982, a fourteen-year-old named Robbie watched a flat black shadow crawl across his bedroom ceiling in Beckenham, Kent, was hospitalized with meningitis, and months later collapsed from acute anemia. Jim Harpur opened his door to two black-eyed children outside Orlando, Florida in March 2008 and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes three weeks afterward. In Nova Scotia, Michelle came down with severe ulcerative colitis two days after a vivid Slenderman dream in January 2017. The longest case belongs to Alison, a seventeen-year-old in Texas who shed roughly twenty pounds in six weeks in 1998 while a tall, pale Woman in Black appeared at her bedside each night, starting days after she and two friends used a Ouija board; sea salt and sage spread through the house ended the visits, and she recovered.From there, the episode turns to two deaths that juries could not explain. Maggie Hourigan, a 19-year-old servant in Greenwich, New York, was found floating face-down in a roadside pool on October 20, 1889; a first autopsy by Dr. S. Walter Scott ruled drowning and suicide, but a second team found a head wound inflicted before she entered the water, and Dr. Scott later sued the New York Sun for libel over its coverage and won a $6,000 settlement. Eight years later and a state away, 18-year-old Annie Dorman was found shot dead in her half-brother John Dorman's farmhouse near Cobb's Creek, Philadelphia, on September 1, 1897; the rusty pistol that killed her sat unused on a high shelf the five-foot-tall victim could not reach without standing on furniture that had not been moved, it had been fired five times, and the coroner ruled she was shot by a person unknown.Next comes Helen Duncan, the Scottish medium nicknamed Hellish Nell, who produced ectoplasm and channeled spirit guides named Peggy and Albert at séances across wartime Britain. In May 1941 she announced the loss of the H.M.S. Hood before the public knew, and that November she described the sinking of the H.M.S. Barham, which the government withheld until January 1942. Authorities arrested her at a Portsmouth sitting and tried her at London's Old Bailey beginning March 23, 1944 under the 1735 Witchcraft Act; a jury convicted her on April 3, and she became the last person imprisoned under that law, serving her sentence at Holloway Prison while Winston Churchill dismissed the case as obsolete tomfoolery.After that, the episode examines Jeremy Bentham, the English philosopher born in 1748 who asked that his body be dissected, preserved, and displayed as what he called an auto-icon. Dr. Thomas Southwood Smith carried out the dissection three days after Bentham died on June 6, 1832, but his attempt to preserve the head with sulfuric acid and an air pump left it leathery and discolored, so a wax replacement by the French artist Jacques Talrich was fitted to the seated skeleton. The figure went on display at University College London, where students stole the real, shriveled head in 1975 and returned it after the university paid £10 against their £100 charity demand; the head later served as a soccer ball before being moved to a climate-controlled storeroom in 2002.The episode closes with ten eccentric routines of the wealthy and famous. Howard Hughes wore tissue boxes over his feet and wrote a manual instructing employees how to prepare and serve a can of peaches; Nikola Tesla fed pigeons in New York parks and called one white pigeon his muse; Salvador Dalí napped in a chair holding a key over a metal plate so its clatter would wake him; Marlon Brando dropped ice into hot coffee to drink it at once; Queen Elizabeth I whitened her skin with a mix of white lead and vinegar; Andy Warhol ate McDonald's nearly every day for two decades; Benjamin Franklin sat naked by open windows for what he called air baths; Michael Jackson traveled with a pet elephant named Gypsy on his Bad tour; Charles Dickens walked miles through London at night to feed his writing; and Albert Einstein gave up socks because his shoes already covered his feet.
In 1981, Marlene Hayes, a beloved wife, mother, and business owner, was attacked and murdered after unexpectedly interrupting a burglary at her home in Bel Air, Maryland. More than four decades later, the case remains open, although investigators continue to pursue new forensic testing.Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Marlene Hayes. Just two months before the murder, Marlene's husband was lured to his car dealership by a fake police call and robbed at gunpoint of approximately $15,000. Authorities never established whether that robbery was connected to Marlene's murder. Over the years, they attempted to link her murder to Henry Lee Lucas.You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

More than three years after a Pennsylvania couple was found murdered in their suburban Philadelphia home, investigators have charged their daughter, Michelle Zajko, with orchestrating the killings. Authorities say the case is connected to the so-called "Zizians," a cult-like group linked to multiple violent crimes across the country. Learn more about your ad choices.

Authorities have arrested and charged former Vegas youth pastor David Vander Meer with first degree murder for the 2006 death of his wife Bernadette. According to police, David and Bernadette were on a sunrise anniversary hike in Zion National Park when Bernadette fell 1200 feet to her death. It was initially ruled an accident, but now prosecutors say they have evidence that Vander Meer pushed his wife off that cliff to be with one of his youth group members and collect nearly $600,000 from a newly purchased life insurance policy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I call it a good start. We'll talk about that…BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: North Texas Antifa Terror Cell Members Sentenced to Combined 450 Years in Federal Prison; And their legal woes are not yet over. Antifa is an IdeaFORT WORTH, Texas — Eight members of a North Texas Antifa terror cell received historic federal sentences on Tuesday, with prison terms ranging from 30 years to life in prison for their roles in the shooting ambush on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility. The attack led to the first federal Antifa terrorism prosecution — and later convictions — in U.S. history.U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman sentenced ringleader Benjamin Hanil Song to 100 years in prison. Song was convicted of the most serious offenses in the case, including attempted murder and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. Prosecutors proved at trial that he shot Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross in the neck during the Fourth of July attack last year.Bradford Morris, a trans militant and sex worker known as “Meagan Morris,” who lived in a Dallas commune with other trans individuals he referred to as his “wives,” was sentenced to 50 years. (The Kessler Heights neighborhood commune also functioned as one of the group's bases.)The defendants were among nine Antifa members convicted by a federal jury in March following the first federal Antifa terrorism trial in U.S. history. Their prison sentences are the longest in American history for convicted violent Antifa members.Feds Drop Hammer on 15 Minnesota Antifa Members Accused of Organized Anti-ICE Violence 15 members of an Antifa cell in the Twin Cities have been federally indicted over mass anti-ICE violence in JanuaryA federal grand jury has indicted 15 members and associates of a Twin Cities Antifa network accused of organizing violent coordinated efforts to obstruct U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minnesota.The 94-page indictment charges the defendants with conspiracy to impede or injure federal agents and officers, alleging they worked together from January through June 2026 to prevent ICE and other Department of Homeland Security personnel from carrying out federal duties.A member of the cultlike Zizians group is charged in the killings of her parents in PennsylvaniaIn this image from video, Michelle Zajko, who authorities say is associated with a cultlike group known as Zizians, is escorted into court for a pretrial hearing in Cumberland, Maryland, on January 16, 2026.AP — A member of the cultlike group known as Zizians has been charged with murder in the shooting of her parents at their Pennsylvania home on her 30th birthday, and a prosecutor said Wednesday she wasn't acting alone.Delaware County District Attorney Tanner Rouse said evidence from a neighbor's doorbell camera, ballistics and analysis of cellphone records have left investigators certain Michelle Zajko is at least partly responsible for the deaths of her parents, Rita and Richard. They were shot in her childhood playroom on New Year's Eve 2022, surrounded by her old dolls and toys.“At this time we do not know who her co-conspirators were, but we are very certain that Michelle Zajko was in the home and arranged for the death of her parents,” Rouse said.The new charges against Zajko, who has been jailed in Maryland on other charges since February 2025, include murder, burglary and conspiracy charges in her parents' deaths. She has denied killing them, and in court filings suggested her father might have killed her mother and himself.“I didn't murder my parents,” she wrote in an April 2025 “ Open Letter to the World” that her attorney sent to The Associated Press.Authorities had long described Zajko as a person of interest.The two deaths are among six linked to the Zizians, a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists who appear to share radical beliefs about veganism, animal rights, gender identity and artificial intelligence. Since 2022, members have been tied to the death of one of their own during an attack on a California landlord, the landlord's subsequent killing, the Zajkos' deaths in Pennsylvania, and a highway shootout in Vermont that left a border agent and another Zizian dead.Zizians face charges in multiple statesZajko, now 33, also is charged with providing the gun used to kill U.S. Border Patrol Agent David Maland in January 2025, though nothing has happened in that case. She was arrested in Maryland a few weeks later along with Daniel Blank and Jack “Ziz” LaSota, whom authorities describe as the group's leader. Police who responded to a landowner's complaint about suspicious people parked in box trucks on his property described them as having “ties with the Zizians Cult” and said they would be questioned about crimes across the country.Zajko had been estranged from her parents in the year leading up to their deaths, the prosecutor said. In a January 2022 text message to her father, she complained that her mother had “assumed the worst” about her since she was a child.“Every time I interact with mom in a nonsuperficial way she spends the time insulting a life she knows nothing about,” Zajko wrote. Hours before her death, Rita Zajko apologized to her daughter and wished her a happy birthday.“That text went unanswered,” Rouse said.Richard Zajko's sister-in-law, Roseanne Zajko, thanked police and prosecutors Wednesday, saying that her family has endured “countless days of darkness and despair” waiting for justice.SCOOP: Radical LGBQ and so-called “T” activists at a Pride event in Amarillo, TX, caught on camera ASSAULTING two Christian men

Authorities have finally found the crazy dude that shot up a bunch of cars on I-70 the first night of the World Cup in KC. He's dead and apparantly was dead in a house they previously combed over. But it gets worse. It seems at least one police department wasn't interested in looking for him BEFORE the shootings as they were too busy working World Cup events. Senator John Thune has ordered a 19 day vacation for the US Senate, right after Trump went too see them on Capitol Hill imploring them to pass the SAVE America Act. This is so embarrassing. The Netherlands fans are taking over KC Thursday and they seem nice enough. But let's remember they are not American.... I have the deets on one reason why. Saturday night's game at Arrowhead is shaping up to be a match where Austria and Algeria both want to lose so they can face an easier opponent in the knockout round.

It's Thursday, June 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Cuban Communists keep sick Protestant pastor imprisoned Christian Solidarity Worldwide reports a Protestant pastor remains in prison in Cuba amid concerns for his health. Pastor Alexis Padrón Lorenzo leads the Communion in Faith Church in Havana. Authorities detained him on June 10, physically abused him during interrogation, and blocked family members from contacting him. This happened after Lorenzo expressed opposition to the country's communist system. Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in Cuba. The country is ranked 24th on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most oppressive countries worldwide for Christians. Write a polite, 2-sentence note of objection to Cuba's top diplomat: Lianys Torres Rivera, Cuban Consulate, 2639 16th Street NW, Washington DC, 20009. Rubio urges new Columbian president to end illegal immigration to U.S. As The Worldview reported on June 23rd, the citizens of the South American country of Colombia narrowly elected conservative Abelardo De La Espriella, who was Trump-endorsed, over left-wing candidate Iván Cepeda. De La Espriella promised a crackdown on crime. g the election, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio posted, “The Trump Administration looks forward to working closely with your incoming administration to advance regional security cooperation, end illegal immigration to the United States, and strengthen our economic ties.” Daniel 2:21 reminds us that God “changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings.” Biden's illegal immigration drove up housing costs In the United States, a recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas found illegal migration under the Biden administration drove up housing costs. The report estimates that unauthorized immigrant worker flows explain about 30% of the total growth in house prices and 20% of total growth in rents. Listen to comments last year by Vice President J.D. Vance on the subject. VANCE: “When we talk about housing and why costs are so high, we don't talk enough about demand. One of the drivers of increased housing demand, we know, is that we've got a lot of people over the last four years who have come into the country illegally.” Four years since Roe v. Wade overturned: Pro-life laws in 19 states Four years ago, on June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The ruling said the U.S. Constitution does not include a right to abortion. It also handed regulation of abortion to individual states. Since then, 19 states have passed anti-abortion laws. Thirteen states ban abortions in most cases. Four states ban abortions at 6 weeks of pregnancy. And two states ban them at 12 weeks. Trump ends sexually explicit school teen programs The Daily Signal reports that the Trump administration will cut funding to many teenage pregnancy prevention programs in schools this week. The Department of Health and Human Services reviewed Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants. It decided to terminate most of them, ending $67 million in grants. The administration described the grants from the Biden-era as “medically inaccurate,” “age-inappropriate,” and “sexually explicit.” U.S., Mexico, & Canada Bible societies share Christ during World Cup Bible societies are using the 2026 World Soccer Cup to engage millions of fans with Scripture. The United States, Canada, and Mexico are hosting the event. So, the American Bible Society, the Mexican Bible Society, and the Canadian Bible Society are promoting Bibles, devotionals, and evangelistic booklets. Christian Daily International notes, “These efforts reflect a broader trend among Bible societies worldwide. As major global events attract billions of viewers, organizations are increasingly developing resources that connect Scripture with cultural moments and reach people who may not normally engage with churches or religious programs.” For example, Living Waters, founded by Evangelist Ray Comfort, has printed 2 million copies of the 2026 World Cup million-dollar bill tract available for free when you cover the shipping. They are an effective tool because there is: Instant curiosity: People pick it up and ask questions Natural transition: From “World Cup” to The Cup of Grace Clear Gospel message: Simple, direct, and memorable And it's easy to share: Great for friends, coworkers, and public outreaches Visit the website: www.LivingWaters.com/WorldCup Major League Baseball no longer requires Christian players to support perversion And finally, Major League Baseball recently announced it will not require players to wear uniforms that promote sexually perverted lifestyles. The issue arose after three San Francisco Giants players added Bible verses to the Rainbow Homosexual Pride caps which they were initially required to wear. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri posted a letter from the Commissioner of Major League Baseball. Hawley wrote, “The Major Leage Baseball Commissioner writes to me and admits they were wrong to threaten the Giants players over Bible verses and promises never to fine or discipline these players -- or any players for their religious beliefs.” Several San Francisco Giants Christian pitchers — Landen Roupp, Ryan Walker, and J.T. Brubaker — referenced Genesis chapter 9 on their hats about the true meaning of the rainbow. In verses 14 and 15, God said, “It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the Earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.” Landon Roup was asked about his hand-written Scripture on his cap at a press conference. ROUP: “God's covenant, and a promise that He makes to us, that His faithfulness and His mercy. It's kind of something I believe in. I stand firm in that.” Amusingly, Cyd Ziegler, the homosexual co-founder of OutSports, was enraged by the Scripture the Christian pitchers had added to the hats. ZIEGLER: “It defaced the Pride Rainbow with a Bible verse telling the LGBT community that they do not own the rainbow, that God owns the rainbow.” Mr. Ziegler, I've got news for you. God does own the rainbow! Send a two-sentence thank you note to Robert Manfred, Major League Baseball Commissioner, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020. And send a 2-sentence thank you note to Landen Roupp for his Christian witness and outspokeness. San Francisco Giants, Oracle Park. 24 Willie Mays Plaza, San Francisco, CA 94107.

Is anything sacred for Democrats when it comes to helping citizens.The short version is this: federal agents raided the home and office of LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, and multiple reports indicate the investigation is tied to LAUSD's failed AI chatbot project called "Ed," which was developed through a multimillion-dollar contract with the education technology company AllHere. Carvalho has not been charged with any crime, and the FBI has not publicly disclosed the full scope of the investigation. What happened?On February 25, 2026, the FBI executed search warrants at:Carvalho's home in Los Angeles LAUSD headquarters A Florida residence connected to education consultant Debra Kerr, who had ties to AllHere and Carvalho dating back to his time in Miami-Dade schools. Two days later, the LAUSD Board placed Carvalho on paid leave. On June 21, 2026, Carvalho resigned as superintendent, though he continued to deny wrongdoing. Authorities still have not announced any charges against him. What was the chatbot controversy?The controversy centers on an AI assistant called "Ed."LAUSD unveiled Ed in 2024 with considerable publicity. The chatbot was marketed as a personalized digital assistant for students and parents that could:Track grades and attendance Provide academic recommendations Translate communications into roughly 100 languages Help families navigate school services Carvalho championed the project as a major innovation for the district. The problem is that the vendor behind Ed, AllHere, collapsed shortly after launch.Why did it become a scandal?Several issues emerged:1. The company imploded.Within months of Ed's rollout, AllHere furloughed employees, entered bankruptcy, and ceased operations. LAUSD terminated the relationship after already paying millions of dollars toward the project. 2. The founder was indicted.AllHere founder Joanna Smith-Griffin was later charged with securities fraud, wire fraud, and identity theft related to allegations that investors were misled about the company's financial condition. 3. Questions arose about how the contract was awarded.Investigative reporting uncovered connections between AllHere and consultant Debra Kerr, who had longstanding professional ties to Carvalho. Kerr later claimed she was owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions related to the LAUSD deal. Federal investigators reportedly began examining the financial aspects of the contract and the relationships surrounding it. 4. Student data concerns surfaced.After AllHere's collapse, critics raised concerns about how student information was handled and whether proper safeguards existed for data collected through the chatbot. Is Carvalho accused of anything?Not publicly.That distinction is important.The FBI searches indicate investigators believed there was sufficient reason to gather evidence, but as of today:Carvalho has not been charged. Prosecutors have not publicly accused him of criminal conduct. The search warrant affidavits remain sealed. His attorneys continue to maintain he acted lawfully and was not involved in selecting AllHere as a vendor. Why this became a political storyThe optics are terrible for LAUSD.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two people, including a police officer, were killed Monday in a shooting in Montreal, police in the Canadian city said. The gunman was also killed. Authorities believe two ransom notes addressed to Nancy Guthrie's family days after her disappearance — including a note that said she had died — were likely sent by the person or group of people who abducted her, according to investigators familiar with the case. The daughter of a woman killed when a Tesla allegedly on autopilot struck her Texas home says her mother "still had her whole life ahead of her."

Former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was arrested on February 19, 2026 — his 66th birthday — by British police on suspicion of misconduct in public office after authorities began investigating allegations linked to his conduct during his time as a UK trade envoy. Thames Valley Police confirmed they arrested a man in his sixties in Norfolk on those suspicions and were carrying out searches at properties in both Norfolk and Berkshire; under UK procedure the arrested person was not immediately named but the reporting makes clear it was Mountbatten-Windsor. The inquiry stems from documents in the recently released Epstein files suggesting he may have shared confidential government information with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and he remains in custody while the investigation continues.The arrest represents a historic moment as the first senior British royal to be taken into custody in modern times and follows years of public scrutiny over his association with Epstein and prior civil litigation, including a high-profile settlement with accuser Virginia Giuffre. King Charles III responded to the news by affirming that “the law must take its course,” emphasizing cooperation with police, while Giuffre's family welcomed the development as a sign that no one is above the law. The exact legal outcome — whether formal charges will be filed — remains to be seen as the investigation unfolds.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:UK police arrest Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor for misconduct in public office | AP NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The official narrative states that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in August 2019, with the New York City Medical Examiner citing hanging as the cause of death. Authorities pointed to Epstein's earlier suicide attempt, his looming trial, and his isolation as supporting factors. Surveillance footage, though partially compromised, showed no outsiders entering the secure unit where Epstein was housed. The Department of Justice and FBI ultimately concluded there was no evidence of criminal activity, framing Epstein's death as the result of personal despair combined with catastrophic lapses in prison oversight.Yet, a powerful counter-narrative argues Epstein was murdered. Forensic anomalies, including neck fractures more common in strangulation than hanging, drew expert skepticism. Security protocols collapsed simultaneously: guards failed to check on him, cameras malfunctioned, his cellmate was removed, and excess bedding provided the means for ligatures. Combined with Epstein's alleged fears for his life, his ties to powerful figures, and the explosive release of documents naming high-profile associates just a day earlier, many see his death as too convenient to be coincidence. These factors have left the public divided, with compelling reasons to doubt the official suicide conclusion and to suspect Epstein's demise was the result of foul play.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

He Was Wrongfully Accused of One of the Worst Crimes. A Father's Nightmare: False Allegations, Jail Time, and a Lifetime of Consequences. Imagine being accused of one of society's most hated crimes, sexual assault against your own child, only to discover that proving your innocence may take years, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and permanently destroy your family. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio That nightmare became reality for Dean Tong. And he is a guest on our show talking about it. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Today, Tong is a nationally recognized forensic trial expert, author, and advocate for parents caught in high-conflict child custody disputes. But decades ago, he found himself at the center of a devastating accusation that changed his life forever. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. His powerful story is featured on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and other major platforms. The Accusation That Changed Everything In 1985, during a bitter custody battle with his estranged wife, Tong was accused of sexually abusing his three-year-old daughter. "The accusation alone was enough to destroy my life," Tong explains. Authorities arrested him and charged him with capital sexual battery. He was immediately prohibited from seeing his children and was incarcerated for two weeks without bail. Although he was eventually granted bail, the damage had already begun. He Was Wrongfully Accused of One of the Worst Crimes. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. For the next 14 months, Tong lived under the weight of allegations that carried the potential for life-altering consequences. Then something remarkable happened. The criminal charges were dropped. No prosecution followed. No conviction occurred. Ultimately, authorities found there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations. Yet the nightmare was far from over. Cleared, But Not Free Many people assume that when charges are dropped, life returns to normal. Tong says nothing could be further from the truth. "Even after the charges were dropped, I spent years trying to clear my name," he recalls. Over the next decade, he fought through lawsuits, custody battles, expert evaluations, and court proceedings. He estimates spending more than $120,000 on eight attorneys and seven psychiatrists. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. While he fought to rebuild his reputation, his children continued living with their mother. The emotional cost proved even greater. Today, Tong says he has no relationship with the daughter whose allegations sparked the case. That is by her choice. He Was Wrongfully Accused of One of the Worst Crimes. "That relationship was lost forever," he says. The Complex Reality of Child Abuse Allegations Tong is careful to emphasize that child abuse and sexual assault are very real crimes that deserve serious investigation and prosecution. At the same time, he believes the legal system must recognize the existence of false allegations and flawed investigative practices. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Research over several decades has shown that false allegations do occur, particularly in contentious divorce and child custody disputes. Studies conducted between the late 1980s and mid-1990s found varying rates of false allegations, with estimates ranging from approximately 6% to 35%, depending on how researchers defined and measured false reports. Experts have noted that most allegations determined to be false did not originate with children themselves but were often introduced by adults involved in family conflicts. "Young children can be highly impressionable," Tong explains. "The way questions are asked can influence responses." He points to court findings and research that highlight concerns about suggestive interviewing techniques, particularly when very young children are involved. When Investigations Go Wrong One of the most controversial aspects of Tong's experience involves what psychologists call confirmation bias. Once investigators become convinced that abuse occurred, they may unintentionally focus on evidence that supports their belief while overlooking information that points in another direction. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Tong believes this phenomenon played a major role in his case. "Sometimes the accusation becomes the evidence," he says. He argues that objective forensic interviewing and evidence-based investigations are essential safeguards for both children and accused individuals. Turning Personal Tragedy Into Professional Purpose Rather than allowing the experience to define him, Tong transformed it into a lifelong mission. He earned a Master of Science degree in Psychology and the Law, specializing in child forensic studies. Over the past three decades, he has become a nationally certified child forensic interviewer, forensic consultant, and expert witness. Tong has testified more than 65 times in courts across 19 states and has been recognized as an expert witness in criminal, family, juvenile, and administrative proceedings. He Was Wrongfully Accused of One of the Worst Crimes. The complete interview is available as a Free Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and major podcast platforms. His work has helped parents facing allegations navigate some of the most challenging legal battles imaginable. He is also the author of three books, including Elusive Innocence: Survival Guide for the Falsely Accused. "Nobody should have to go through what I experienced," Tong says. National Media Recognition Tong's expertise has drawn attention from major national media outlets over the years. His work and commentary have appeared in: ABC Prime Time Live Dateline CNN Nancy Grace Court TV CBS 48 Hours Dr. Phil The Washington Post Rolling Stone Christian Science Monitor Today, he continues assisting families across the country and providing guidance through social media platforms, including Facebook. A Story That Raises Difficult Questions The discussion surrounding child abuse allegations is often emotionally charged, and understandably so. Protecting children remains the highest priority. Yet Tong's story raises important questions about due process, investigative practices, forensic interviewing, and the long-term consequences of allegations that are later determined to be unsupported. He Was Wrongfully Accused of One of the Worst Crimes. Listeners can hear the complete interview on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and other major Podcast, Radio, News, and Media platforms. His experience serves as a reminder that every allegation deserves a thorough, professional, and evidence-based investigation. As Tong continues to advocate for fairness within the legal system, he remains committed to helping others avoid the devastating consequences he endured. "Truth matters," he says. "And every person deserves the opportunity to be heard." Listen to the Full Interview Dean Tong shares his extraordinary journey, discusses false allegations, child custody battles, forensic interviewing, and the lasting impact of being wrongfully accused on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. The podcast is available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and other major podcast platforms. His story is difficult to hear, impossible to forget, and certain to spark important conversations about justice, family courts, and the pursuit of truth. Be sure to check out our website .

When Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in 2019, law enforcement seized mountains of evidence from his Manhattan townhouse and his estate in the U.S. Virgin Islands—including hard drives, CDs, labeled binders, photographs, surveillance footage, and detailed logs. These weren't just random items; many were explicitly marked with names and dates, suggesting a cataloging system designed to track interactions with specific individuals. The New York mansion alone had a safe full of disks labeled with things like “Young [Name] + [Name],” indicating potentially explosive material tied to Epstein's trafficking operation. Authorities also recovered surveillance equipment, raising the possibility that Epstein had been secretly recording his high-profile guests for leverage.And yet, years later, the public is still being told that there are “no files,” no names, and nothing more to investigate. How is that possible? What happened to the contents of those safes and hard drives? Why has none of it been released, indicted, or even seriously pursued in public view? The glaring disconnect between the overwhelming volume of material seized and the deafening silence about what it contained reeks of institutional cover-up.And the longer we're told it doesn't exist, the more obvious it becomes that the system isn't broken. It's complicit.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:FBI seized computers in raid at Jeffrey Epstein's Virgin Island home
For this special Pride Month episode of Murder, Not Murdering, we examine two chilling stories connected by prejudice, power, and the long fight for justice.First, Autumn tells the story of Scott Johnson, an American mathematician whose body was discovered at the base of a cliff near Sydney, Australia in 1988. Authorities quickly ruled his death a suicide, but his family refused to accept the conclusion. What followed was a decades-long quest for answers that uncovered a pattern of anti-gay violence, institutional failures, and a shocking truth. We also discuss the latest developments in the case through May 2026.Then Erin takes us back to 1919 and one of the strangest scandals in U.S. history: the Newport Naval Sex Scandal. Under the direction of Navy officials during Franklin D. Roosevelt's tenure as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, young sailors were ordered to go undercover and entrap suspected homosexual men. The investigation spiraled into a national controversy, congressional hearings, and accusations that the government had gone dangerously too far.From a suspicious death on the cliffs of Sydney to a government-sanctioned moral panic in Newport, this episode explores how fear and discrimination have shaped lives, investigations, and history itself.Some stories are about murder. Others are about the systems that allow injustice to flourish. This episode is both.

The FBI director publicly criticized the handling of the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, with 28 years of Bureau experience, explains that public inter-agency criticism of this nature does not occur over procedural disagreements. It occurs when an agency has concluded that critical evidence and critical time were lost, and that private institutional channels failed to produce correction.Coffindaffer examines the operational consequences of the documented friction between the Pima County Sheriff's Office and the FBI. She distinguishes between notification and operational control — a distinction with direct evidentiary impact when evidence streams are time-sensitive. Digital evidence, biological evidence, and witness memory all degrade at documented rates. Nancy Guthrie was 84 years old, medically vulnerable, and dependent on daily medication. The temporal urgency in her case exceeded standard parameters. Institutional friction is the primary mechanism by which investigative speed is compromised.Coffindaffer addresses the less visible consequences that persist months into a fractured investigation: defensive investigative postures, witness reluctance when coordination gaps are perceptible, tip fragmentation across competing internal systems, and prolonged forensic ambiguity that may indicate investigators are not working with uncontaminated results. She evaluates the implications for prosecutorial viability if a suspect is eventually identified.A concurrent development generated significant public attention. The Pima County Sheriff's Department issued a BOLO for Coral Michelle Smith, age 40, wanted for kidnapping and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following a May 29th incident approximately seven miles from the Guthrie residence. Authorities stated explicitly that no connection to the Guthrie case exists. Smith's documented criminal history — four periods of incarceration, two revoked probations, a kidnapping charge resolved through plea negotiation — describes a pattern of opportunistic street-level offenses inconsistent with the porch figure profile. The FBI describes the Guthrie suspect as male, approximately 5'9" to 5'10", with an apparent wrist tattoo. Smith is 5'6" with documented tattoos on her ankle, foot, and leg. No physical or behavioral profile alignment exists.The Guthrie family continues to offer a $1 million reward. Nancy remains missing. The individual captured on her doorbell camera has not been publicly identified.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The FBI director publicly criticized how the Nancy Guthrie case was handled. Jennifer Coffindaffer spent 28 years at the Bureau and knows what it takes to push that kind of institutional conflict into the open. Private conversations failed first. Then the director went on record. That sequence tells you something specific about how badly the agency believes the early investigation was compromised.Coffindaffer walks through the operational difference between being notified about a case and having control over it — because the distinction matters when evidence is decaying by the hour. Digital evidence degrades. Biological evidence degrades. Witness memory degrades. An 84-year-old woman who required daily medication was missing, and the clock was running from the moment she disappeared. Speed was the single most important variable. Institutional friction is what kills speed first.She addresses the less visible damage that persists months into an investigation built on inter-agency conflict. Investigators become defensive. Witnesses become hesitant when they sense the people asking questions aren't coordinated. Tips fragment across competing internal systems. Prolonged forensic ambiguity this far into the case may signal that investigators aren't working with clean results — and Coffindaffer explains what that means for the prosecution if a suspect is eventually identified.Meanwhile, a headline sent the community spiraling. Pima County issued a BOLO for Coral Michelle Smith — wanted for kidnapping seven miles from where Nancy was taken. Authorities explicitly stated there's no connection. But four months without a named suspect creates a vacuum that pulls in every nearby crime.Smith's fifteen-year record — four prison stints, two revoked probations, a kidnapping charge pled down — describes opportunistic street-level offenses. Nothing matching the porch figure captured on Nancy's doorbell camera. The FBI describes that figure as male, 5'9" to 5'10". Smith is 5'6". The porch figure has an apparent wrist tattoo. Smith's tattoos are on her ankle, foot, and leg. The profiles don't align. But what Smith's record does reveal is a system that kept releasing a repeat offender — a separate institutional failure in the same county that's already under scrutiny for how it handled Nancy's disappearance.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie was 84 years old, medically vulnerable, and required daily medication. Speed mattered more in her case than almost any other variable. And speed is exactly what institutional friction destroys first.Jennifer Coffindaffer spent 28 years at the FBI. She explains what happens to an investigation when the lead local agency and the federal agency aren't aligned — not in theory, but operationally. Digital evidence degrades. Biological evidence degrades. Witness memory degrades. Tips fragment across competing systems that aren't sharing information in real time. Investigators become defensive when they sense oversight. Witnesses become hesitant when the people asking questions don't seem coordinated. Prolonged forensic ambiguity months into a case may signal something worse — that investigators aren't working with clean results.The FBI director went public with criticism of how this case was handled. Coffindaffer says that doesn't happen over minor procedural disagreements. It happens when the Bureau believes critical evidence and critical time were lost, and private channels failed to produce change. That public rupture tells you where the institutional relationship was before the director spoke — and where it is now.Four months without a named suspect created a vacuum this week when Pima County issued a BOLO for Coral Michelle Smith — wanted for kidnapping and aggravated assault seven miles from where Nancy disappeared. Authorities stated explicitly there's no connection. Smith's fifteen-year criminal record describes opportunistic street-level offenses — four prison stints, two revoked probations, a kidnapping charge pled down. The FBI describes the porch figure as male, 5'9" to 5'10". Smith is 5'6" with tattoos on her ankle, foot, and leg — not the wrist tattoo visible on the porch figure. Nothing matches. But the headline filled the vacuum because the investigation hasn't filled it with an arrest.The Guthrie family is still waiting. The person who took Nancy is still unidentified. And Coffindaffer forces the question the public hasn't fully confronted: was the biggest obstacle in this case the offender — or the institutions that were supposed to find him?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Michael Wallace died unexpectedly at just 38 years old, his death was initially believed to be the result of natural causes. No autopsy was performed, and the case appeared closed. Years later, after Stacey Castor remarried, another sudden death within the family would draw the attention of investigators and raise new questions about the past. As detectives examined the circumstances surrounding the death of Stacey's second husband, David Castor, they uncovered evidence that suggested the two cases may have been connected. The investigation led authorities to revisit Michael Wallace's death, revealing similarities that could no longer be ignored. With investigators closing in, attention shifted to a shocking allegation involving Stacey's own daughter, Ashley. Authorities believed an attempt had been made to place responsibility for the deaths on Ashley through a carefully constructed plan. When Ashley survived and investigators examined the evidence, the case took another dramatic turn. Known to many as the "Black Widow" case, the story of Stacey Castor became one of the most unusual criminal investigations in New York history. It remains a case defined by deception, family betrayal, and an effort to avoid accountability at any cost.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Coral Michelle Smith has been in and out of the Pima County criminal justice system for fifteen years — prison four times, probation revoked twice, a kidnapping charge dismissed through a plea deal — and on May 29th she was allegedly free to kidnap someone and commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon at an intersection less than seven miles from Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home. That proximity made this a national story. But the real story isn't the seven miles.Authorities have said explicitly that Smith has no connection to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. The physical evidence backs that up completely. The Guthrie porch suspect is described as 5'9” to 5'10” with an apparent wrist tattoo. Smith is 5'6” with no wrist tattoo. Her criminal history — robbery, trespass, vehicle theft, assault — is a cycle of opportunistic, close-range offenses that look nothing like a planned pre-dawn home intrusion. These aren't even the same category of crime.What this episode digs into is the system that made both stories possible. A career offender the courts had every reason to keep behind bars, walking free in time to allegedly hurt someone else. An investigation into an 84-year-old woman's disappearance that has gone four months without naming a suspect, creating a vacuum so deep that a routine BOLO seven miles away becomes front-page news. The Guthrie family continues to ask for information through 1-800-CALL-FBI. The reward for Nancy's case has climbed past $1.2 million. And the question at the center of both stories is the same one: when the people who are supposed to protect this community keep failing, how long does the community have to wait before something changes?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the early 1970s, John Lennon was suspected of conspiring to disrupt an American political convention and contributing to a paramilitary terrorist organization. Authorities took notice. So much so that the President of the United States took action to have the so-called “smart Beatle” deported. Lennon’s politics were way more violent and revolutionary than simply imagining all the people living life in peace and harmony.

In 1993, 19-year-old college freshman Tricia Lynn Reitler, an Indiana Wesleyan University freshman, vanished while walking back to her dorm after a quick trip to a supermarket. More than three decades later, investigators believe they know who was responsible, but Tricia's body has never been found, and no one has been charged in her case. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the disappearance of Tricia Lynn Reitler. The case eventually became linked to suspected serial killer Larry DeWayne Hall, who repeatedly confessed to and then recanted involvement in numerous murders. Authorities found disturbing notes, maps, and items connected to several missing women, including Tricia. You can help support the show through Patreon.
