The Devil's Ledger — Week of June 30, 2026 This week on The Devil's Ledger, we celebrate the spirit of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the United States, Canada, and Mexico continue welcoming the world with open arms. Amid months of political division, it's been refreshing to see communities across North America reminding us why sports have a unique way of bringing people together. From packed stadiums to neighborhood watch parties, hospitality has taken center stage—and yes, maybe ranch dressing deserves a little credit too. We begin, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week. This week we travel to Montreal's historic Griffintown, where ghost hunters, historians, and curious locals gathered on June 27 to await the legendary return of Headless Mary Gallagher. Murdered and decapitated in 1879, local folklore claims Mary's spirit returns every seven years on the anniversary of her death, wandering the streets in search of the head she lost nearly 150 years ago. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, it's a haunting reminder that some stories refuse to die. On The Devil Within, our Campfire Files series continues with one of our most believable paranormal stories yet. Four college friends rent an Airbnb cabin for a relaxing weekend in the mountains and discover what appears to be an ordinary board game left behind by a previous guest. The only problem? It's a Ouija Board. What begins as harmless curiosity slowly transforms into something unsettling, proving that sometimes the scariest stories aren't the loudest—they're the ones that feel like they could happen to anyone. On Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio is keeping this week's case a complete secret. Is she racing to meet another impossible deadline? Or has she uncovered a story so disturbing she wants listeners to experience it with fresh ears? We honestly don't know—but knowing Carolyn, it could very well be both. Tune in and find out. On The Slippery, Scott Eldridge and Nancy Moscatiello unravel the extraordinary story of Gaurav Srivastava, a man who convinced world leaders, celebrities, and business executives that he had been recruited by the CIA as a teenager. His elaborate intelligence persona opened doors across the global oil industry—until investigators began asking difficult questions. It's a remarkable story of deception, influence, and one of the most audacious confidence schemes in recent memory. On Forever Young, Dr. John Layke and Dr. Payman Danielpour explore the rapidly evolving world of regenerative medicine, separating science from hype as they discuss how stem cell therapies may reshape healthcare in the years ahead. If you're interested in living healthier and longer, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Finally, in This Week in Horror, we revisit the return of Scary Movie. More than twenty years after the original became a comedy phenomenon, the franchise is back with another round of outrageous horror parody, proving that even today's most terrifying films aren't safe from a good laugh.
Criminal Mischief The Murder of a CEO: The Luigi Mangione Case On the morning of December 4, 2024, the chief executive officer of one of America's largest health insurance companies stepped onto a Manhattan sidewalk and was gunned down in what authorities would later describe as a targeted assassination. The shooting shocked the nation. The victim was a powerful healthcare executive whose company had become a lightning rod for criticism from patients, doctors, and advocacy groups frustrated by denied claims, rising costs, and the complexities of the American healthcare system. But what happened next stunned investigators even more. As police launched a nationwide manhunt, the alleged gunman—26-year-old Luigi Mangione—quickly became one of the most polarizing criminal suspects in recent memory. While law enforcement pursued a murder investigation, a growing online movement began portraying Mangione as something entirely different: a folk hero, an avenger, even a symbol of public anger toward an industry many Americans believe has failed them. This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio examines the crime that ignited a national debate. Who was Luigi Mangione? What led authorities to identify him as the prime suspect? What evidence connected him to the shooting? And why did a murder case become a cultural flashpoint that exposed deep divisions in the way Americans view healthcare, corporate power, and justice itself? Through court documents, investigative reporting, and the facts established by law enforcement, Carolyn separates the online mythology from the actual case, tracing the events leading up to the shooting, the nationwide search that followed, and the legal battle that continues to unfold. This is not just the story of a homicide. It's the story of a country arguing with itself. Because sometimes the most revealing criminal cases aren't the ones that unite us in outrage. They're the ones that force us to confront why some people feel outrage in the first place. Have thoughts on this case? Email us at mailto:info@eviocreative.com.

The Devil's Ledger — June 22, 2026 This week on The Devil's Ledger, we celebrate the United States Men's National Team advancing out of the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and recognize the incredible efforts of host cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico for welcoming fans from around the world. Then we dive into another week of strange stories, unsettling mysteries, and sinister tales from across the Evio Creative universe. We begin, as always, with The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week—the disturbing true story of a family who purchased a foreclosed home in Connecticut only to discover three sets of human remains inside. What should have been the start of a new chapter quickly became the center of a mystery years in the making. On The Devil Within, we gather around the campfire for Something in the Water. What begins as a relaxing getaway at Table Rock Lake becomes a terrifying encounter with something lurking beneath the surface. Strange events, unexplained encounters, and a growing realization that whatever is in the lake wants to be seen force a group of friends to confront a chilling question: what happens when something ancient decides it wants your attention? On Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio delivers another unforgettable story. This isn't a notorious serial killer or a decades-old wrongful conviction. It's something far more relatable—and perhaps more frightening because of it. A case that reminds us how quickly an ordinary day can become a nightmare and how vulnerable we all are to dangers hiding in plain sight. On The Slippery, the bizarre saga of Jose Lantigua continues. A successful businessman claims to be suffering from a rare and terminal illness allegedly connected to his past as a CIA operative. After traveling to Venezuela for a secret experimental procedure, he disappears—leaving behind unanswered questions, a multimillion-dollar insurance policy, and investigators who suspect nothing is as it seems. And in This Week in Horror, we take a look at Corporate Retreat, a new horror film in which a company leadership retreat descends into chaos, violence, and death. As alliances crumble and secrets emerge, the greatest threat may not be lurking in the wilderness—it may be sitting in the next boardroom chair.
The Highers Brothers: Twenty-Five Years Stolen In 1987, a Detroit drug dealer was murdered. Within months, two brothers—Tommy and Raymond Highers—were convicted of the crime and sentenced to life in prison without parole. They maintained their innocence from the beginning. More than twenty years later, their convictions would be overturned in a case that exposed serious flaws in eyewitness testimony and the criminal justice system. This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio examines one of Michigan's most extraordinary wrongful conviction cases. The Highers brothers entered prison as teenagers and emerged decades later as middle-aged men, having spent more than 25 years incarcerated for a crime they say they never committed. Their road to freedom began in an unexpected place: social media. A Facebook conversation led investigators to witnesses whose accounts challenged the prosecution's original case, setting in motion a legal battle that would ultimately unravel the convictions. Carolyn explores how eyewitness misidentification, investigative tunnel vision, and the slow pace of justice can alter lives forever. She traces the brothers' journey from arrest to conviction, through years of appeals, and finally to exoneration—raising difficult questions about accountability, memory, and the cost of wrongful imprisonment. The Highers case has become a landmark example of how modern technology can aid old investigations and how justice, though delayed, can still prevail. But after decades behind bars, one question remains impossible to answer: How do you compensate someone for twenty-five lost years? Join Carolyn as she unpacks a story of resilience, redemption, and a justice system forced to confront its own mistakes. Have thoughts on this case? Email us at info@eviocreative.com.

These aren't rehashes. These are updates that change the story. The Gilgo Beach Murders — Rex Heuerman Sentenced One of the most chilling cases in modern true crime reaches a major milestone.

Criminal Mischief — The Murder of Jonathan Willett What happens when love turns into control… and control turns into something far more dangerous? In this episode of Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio examines the brutal murder of Jonathan Willett at the hands of his former girlfriend, Devyn—a case that begins as a volatile breakup and escalates into a chilling act of violence that few saw coming… but many, in hindsight, recognize the warning signs of. Drawing from official interrogation recordings, court transcripts, and interviews with investigators, Carolyn reconstructs the final days leading up to the murder—uncovering a pattern of obsession, manipulation, and escalating tension that ultimately ended in tragedy. This is not just a story about one crime. It's a portrait of domestic violence in its most insidious form—where control disguises itself as love, where warning signs are minimized or ignored, and where the line between emotional abuse and physical violence quietly disappears. In this episode, we explore: • The relationship between Jonathan and Devyn—and how it began to fracture • The behavioral patterns that signaled escalation • The moments leading up to the murder • Devyn's interrogation—and what she chose to reveal • The prosecution's case and courtroom revelations • The broader implications of domestic violence and coercive control Through firsthand accounts and documented evidence, Criminal Mischief brings listeners inside the investigation—step by step—allowing the truth to emerge not as speculation, but as something far more unsettling: A sequence of choices that, once set in motion, could not be undone. Because the most dangerous part of cases like this isn't always the violence itself— It's how predictable it can be… once you know where to look.

E|179 Hollywood - Part Four: The Point of No Return In this episode, Carolyn Ossorio continues her deep dive into “Hollywood,” the elusive Seattle-based bank robber who captured headlines in the early 1990s — and somehow blurred the line between criminal and cultural myth. This time, the story takes an unexpected turn. Carolyn sits down with W. Peter Iliff, the writer behind Point Break — the iconic film that, for many, became the definitive portrayal of charismatic, thrill-seeking bank robbers. The question is unavoidable: Did Hollywood influence the myth… or did the myth influence Hollywood? As Iliff reflects on the origins of Point Break, the conversation reveals just how much real-world crime, media coverage, and public fascination feed into the stories we tell — and how those stories, in turn, reshape reality. Meanwhile, Carolyn continues to unravel the truth behind “Hollywood” — a figure who, despite never giving the money away, somehow earned comparisons to a modern-day Robin Hood. Perception vs. reality.Story vs. truth.Myth vs. man. And somewhere in the middle… a bank robber who understood exactly how to control the narrative.

Criminal Mischief The Kouri Richins Trial: Grief, Image, and Allegations The case of Kouri Richins first captured national attention for its emotional narrative — a Utah mother who wrote a children's book about grief to help her young sons cope with the sudden death of their father. Now, as the case moves through the courts, prosecutors are presenting a very different story. In this episode of Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio breaks down the latest developments in the ongoing trial, examining the evidence, the timeline, and the troubling questions surrounding the death of Eric Richins. Because behind the public image of loss and healing, investigators say there may have been something far more calculated at work. Charges Against Kouri Richins • Aggravated murder in connection with the death of her husband, Eric Richins • Attempted aggravated murder related to a prior alleged poisoning attempt • Possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute • Mortgage fraud and financial crimes connected to alleged efforts to secure loans and financial gain Key Allegations Prosecutors Are Presenting • Eric Richins died from a lethal dose of fentanyl • Investigators allege Kouri obtained the drugs through an acquaintance • Evidence suggests a prior incident in which Eric became ill after consuming a drink prepared by Kouri • Financial records indicating significant debt, insurance policies, and real estate pressures • Digital evidence and witness testimony related to the acquisition of fentanyl The defense maintains Kouri's innocence, and the case remains ongoing as both sides present their arguments. In this episode: • The timeline leading up to Eric Richins' death • The prosecution's theory of motive and planning • What investigators say changed the case from tragedy to homicide • The legal strategy unfolding in court • Why this case continues to draw national attention Because sometimes the most powerful stories aren't the ones told publicly. They're the ones that emerge when investigators start asking harder questions. If today's episode stayed with you: ⭐ Follow and subscribe to Criminal Mischief so you don't miss new episodes

THE DEVIL'S LEDGER Week of December 8th Welcome back to The Devil's Ledger — and happy holidays! This week we're unwrapping a lineup that's equal parts chilling, mysterious, and deeply fascinating.
True crime consumers often feel they've ‘heard it all'. Some are drawn to those cases; the Ted Bundys, the Green River Killers, the Jefferey Dahmers. Those who are really into true crime know the smaller, lesser-known cases. They are familiar with the details of the investigation, the victims, and the outcome.But every once in a while, a huge case gets overshadowed by those more familiar ones. Cases get lumped together. A known killer gets the blame, and an actual killer remains on the loose. Or the idea of a serial killer is just too outrageous, so it's ignored by authorities. Today's case is one such story. I had heard the name Warren Forrest before Carolyn Ossorio reached out to me, and the case was on our “to get to” list. I knew some older guy had been charged for a very old murder, thanks to new DNA developments had no idea the depth of the story, nor the extent of violence his reach had, and how many victims were lost to time, incompetence, and lack of care. Today, with the help of Carolyn and her producer Branden Morgan of the "Stolen Voices of Dole Valley" podcast, I'll give you a rundown of the victims and survivors of Warren Forrest. We'll also discuss their podcast because a 9-episode series is gonna cover a hell of a lot more than this one.Listen to Stolen Voices of Dole Valley at the link below, or wherever you get your podcasts!https://kslpodcasts.com/podcast/stolen-voices-of-dole-valley/For tickets to the live event with NWCAVES, visit: https://nwcave.networkforgood.com/events/93248-stolen-voices-a-true-crime-listening-eventOur Sponsors:* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/murder-in-the-rain/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
Interview with Former FBI Agent Jerri Williams On this episode of Criminal Mischief, host Carolyn Ossorio sits down with Jerri Williams, a former FBI Special Agent, author, and fellow podcaster whose career focused on financial crimes and scams. As one of the few minority women in the Bureau during her tenure, Jerri broke barriers while navigating a world that wasn't always welcoming. She shares how she investigated complex white-collar cases, exposed elaborate frauds, and what those experiences taught her about greed, deception, and human nature. Now a successful writer and podcast host, Jerri reflects on her time in the Bureau, her transition into storytelling, and how she continues to shine a light on the hidden world of financial crime.

Stolen Voices of Dole Valley is a haunting investigative podcast series from Pie in the Sky Media, KSL Podcasts and Lemonada, hosted by Carolyn Ossorio. With immersive storytelling, archival tape, and survivor interviews, the show revisits one of the darkest, most under-reported serial predator cases in the Pacific Northwest. The series begins in the early 1970s, when 16-year-old Jamie Grissim vanishes from her foster home in Vancouver, Washington. She would become the first suspected victim in a string of disappearances and murders stretching across rural Clark County. But for years, the cases remained unconnected—dismissed as runaways, forgotten in filing cabinets, or ignored altogether. At the center of this story is Norma Jean Countryman, a 15-year-old girl who escaped her abductor by chewing through the ropes that bound her. Her account, dismissed by police at the time, holds the key to understanding the scale and method of a predator hiding in plain sight… Through meticulous reporting and the raw testimony of survivors and family members, Stolen Voices of Dole Valley brings long-buried stories to light. From a body in a silo mistaken for D.B. Cooper to a grieving sister who becomes a tireless advocate, each episode builds toward justice —and reckoning. Over 50 years after the first disappearance, this series uncovers systemic failures, cultural blind spots, and the fierce resilience of those left behind. In a community desperate for closure, these voices—once ignored—finally speak for themselves. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Title: From Air Force to FBI: Jeremy Rebmann on a Life of Service and the Stories That Follow Show Notes: In this gripping episode of Criminal Mischief, host Carolyn Ossorio sits down with former FBI SWAT sniper turned author Jeremy Rebmann to explore a career defined by discipline, danger, and the drive to protect. From his early days in the U.S. Air Force to landing his dream job with the FBI, Jeremy takes us behind the scenes of a profession few truly understand. As a sniper, his mission was simple in theory but complex in practice—keep others safe, no matter the risk. He opens up about the intense training, split-second decisions, and unshakable mindset it takes to perform in the highest-pressure situations imaginable. Now, Jeremy is channeling those experiences into writing, bringing the precision and perspective of his career into his work as an author. We discuss what it means to transition from a life in the shadows to one in the public eye, and how his commitment to service continues—this time, through storytelling. If you've ever wondered what it's like to live as a “protector,” to walk into chaos when others run away, or to turn real-world experiences into compelling narratives, this conversation delivers an unfiltered look at courage, resilience, and reinvention. Follow Criminal Mischief for more conversations that pull back the curtain on extraordinary lives.
Criminal Mischief Annihilation In this chilling episode of Criminal Mischief, hosts Carolyn Ossorio and Branden Morgan take you inside one of Australia's most confounding and headline-grabbing criminal cases in recent memory: the alleged mushroom poisonings tied to Erin Patterson. In August 2023, a quiet lunch in Leongatha, Victoria ended in tragedy when three members of the Patterson and Wilkinson families died after consuming what authorities believe were death cap mushrooms. Erin Patterson, who hosted the meal, claimed it was an innocent mistake — but investigators weren't so sure. Using extensive interviews with law enforcement and local officials, this episode dissects the timeline, forensic findings, and emotional fallout from a case that has left an entire country shaken. Was it an accident? A cover-up? Or something far more sinister? We explore: • The toxicology behind death cap mushrooms • Erin Patterson's statements and shifting accounts • The legal strategy unfolding in the Victorian justice system • How grief, suspicion, and public scrutiny have converged on one woman This isn't just a story about a meal gone wrong — it's about trust, inheritance, blurred intentions, and what happens when family dinners become deadly.
