Morgan Geyser, one of the teenagers who stabbed their classmate in the 2014 "Slender Man" case, has been released from a mental health institution after nearly seven years. She and her accomplice, Anissa Weier, stabbed Payton Leutner 19 times, believing it would appease the fictional Slender Man. Despite Geyser's diagnosis of early-onset schizophrenia, her release has sparked controversy due to the violent nature of the crime and the lasting impact on the victim.

Actor Alec Baldwin has filed a civil lawsuit against Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, Special Prosecutor Kari Morrissey, and other officials, claiming malicious prosecution and violations of his civil rights. The lawsuit follows the dismissal of criminal charges against Baldwin in connection with the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust. Baldwin was holding a prop pistol during a rehearsal when it discharged, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin faced an involuntary manslaughter charge, which was thrown out in July by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer. The judge cited prosecutorial misconduct, including the withholding of key evidence related to the live ammunition on set. The lawsuit, filed Thursday, names additional defendants, including investigators from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, the First Judicial District Attorney's Office, the Santa Fe County Board of Commissioners, and the county itself. In the filing, Baldwin's attorneys accuse prosecutors of engaging in a “malicious and unlawful” pursuit of the actor for political and personal reasons. “Criminal prosecutions are supposed to be about the search for truth and justice, not to pursue personal or political gain or harass the innocent,” attorneys Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro stated. “Kari Morrissey and the other defendants violated that basic principle, over and over, and trampled on Alec Baldwin's rights. We bring this action to hold the defendants accountable for their misconduct and to prevent them from doing this to anyone else.” The lawsuit alleges that prosecutors intentionally concealed evidence that would have cleared Baldwin and instead sought to scapegoat him for Hutchins' death. Special Prosecutor Andrea Reeb is accused of making statements about how pursuing the case could benefit her political career as a Republican state representative. Baldwin's attorneys claim that false and incomplete testimony from Morrissey was used to secure his indictment. Responding to the lawsuit, Morrissey said, “In October 2023, the prosecution team became aware that Mr. Baldwin intended to file a retaliatory civil lawsuit. We look forward to our day in court.” The incident, which occurred during the filming of the Western Rust, reignited debates about firearms safety on film sets and led to multiple lawsuits, including Baldwin's. The actor is seeking financial damages through a jury trial, arguing that the defendants must be held accountable for their actions. “Defendants must now be held accountable for their malicious and unlawful pursuit of Baldwin,” the complaint states. The tragic shooting of Halyna Hutchins has left a lasting impact on Hollywood, with many calling for stricter safety protocols. Baldwin's lawsuit underscores broader concerns about the role of political influence and prosecutorial accountability in high-profile cases. #AlecBaldwin #RustLawsuit #HalynaHutchins #CivilRights #MaliciousProsecution #MovieSetSafety #Hollywood Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Diddy's Journey from Mount Vernon to Music Mogul Spotlighted in New Documentary A new Peacock documentary, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, delves into the life of Sean “Diddy” Combs, offering fresh perspectives on his youth and rise to fame while confronting recent controversies surrounding the music icon. Tim Patterson, a childhood friend, painted a vivid picture of Diddy's early years in Mount Vernon, New York. “I know Sean, not Diddy, not Daddy Love,” Patterson shared in the film. “I have to tell people about what they don't know about his childhood.” He described young Sean as a wealthy outlier, often bullied due to his privileged background. “Sean was the different kid. People could smell he wasn't tough,” he added. The documentary explores how Diddy's father, Melvin Combs, was killed in what former bodyguard Gene Deal described as a retaliation for cooperating with law enforcement. This loss left Janice Combs, Diddy's mother, to raise her children alone. Patterson explained that Janice's inheritance allowed the family to move to a more affluent area, fostering a life of luxury for her son. “He was the one in the hat, with jewelry on, at four years old,” Patterson remarked about an old photo. Diddy's childhood also involved exposure to lively, unconventional environments. “Sean's house was the party spot,” Patterson recalled, citing wild gatherings that mirrored the flamboyant celebrations Diddy would later host as an adult. According to Lee Davis, a friend and DJ, “She made sure everybody was comfortable,” though Janice Combs did not comment on her portrayal in the documentary. The film highlights Diddy's relentless ambition, which emerged during his time at Howard University. Ron Lawrence, a college classmate, noted that Diddy declared, “I'm gonna be the biggest record producer in the world.” His determination paid off after dropping out of college and securing an internship at Uptown Records in 1990. Patterson recalled, “He'd show up anywhere to get the bigwigs' attention—even sleeping outside of Andre Harrell's car.” Despite his success, Diddy's legacy faces challenges. In September 2024, he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his representatives vehemently deny the allegations. “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories,” a spokesperson told Us Weekly, criticizing NBC and Peacock for amplifying what they view as baseless claims. The documentary premieres on Peacock on January 14, offering a multifaceted view of one of music's most influential and polarizing figures. While it unearths stories of childhood resilience, ambition, and transformation, it also raises questions about the darker chapters of Diddy's life. #SeanCombs #DiddyDocumentary #MountVernon #MusicMogul #Peacock #HipHopHistory #Controversy Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Will A Fake Dog Bite Expert 'Solve' The Karen Read Case? Could a dog bite really unravel a case like Karen Read's? In the tangled web of courtroom drama, the qualifications of a dog bite expert are now front and center. Is a seasoned ER doctor who has seen countless bites enough, or does the case demand a certified dog bite specialist? Add to that the peculiar detail: the dog in question, Chloe, is still alive and seemingly available for examination—but why does no one seem interested in her teeth? The confusion doesn't end there. The defense and prosecution clash over time-stamped data, with the creators of the software insisting the defense has it all wrong. Yet, the defense holds firm, muddying the waters to sow doubt in the jury's minds. Is this clever lawyering, or are we venturing into the absurd? With shifting narratives, questionable experts, and a jury poised to weigh it all, one has to wonder: how much confusion is too much when justice is on the line? #TrueCrime #KarenReadCase #DogBiteDebate #CourtroomDrama #ExpertWitness #LegalConfusion #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

At his Monday sentencing, Emma Cooley, the mother of murdered Sydney Palmer — who was fatally gunned down by husband Michael Edgington in Kansas last year during a domestic altercation — lambasted her disgraced son-in-law, forcefully telling him “she loved you” while also detailing how he cruelly tormented Palmer's relatives closely following her death with deeply troubling actions and remarks aimed at them. “‘The first thing you asked me was for the PlayStation,' Cooley recalled of her exchange with Edgington after Palmer's death, as reported by the local news Sumner NewsCow. “‘Well, here's your PlayStation,' she calmly stated, immediately following her statement, setting one console on a wooden bench near where he was seated. Palmer, 25, had been arguing with Edgington on July 3 prior to her demise and purportedly hurled a 4.04-ounce concrete trinket at his head, investigators said. “I noticed a swelling on his forehead,” a responding officer noted in the official case document. “Edgington's counteraction involved shooting her using a 9 mm handgun.” “‘I recognize I did something wrong,' he stated at his criminal sentencing, where he was ultimately given 61 months behind bars — about five years — for second-degree murder. “‘But I don't believe I pose a threat to society,' Edgington informed Sumner County District Court Judge William Mott, who imposed the top penalty permitted, in addition to 36 months' probation. Edgington will also be prohibited from owning firearms in the future. In addition to requesting his PlayStation, Edgington further horrified Palmer's relatives by allegedly choosing to remarry in the home he had occupied with Palmer, with the ceremony reportedly taking place within those same walls. “‘This is where you killed your ex-wife and my daughter,' Cooley still said Monday. ‘And you hold a wedding ceremony there simply as though she never existed.'” Moreover, Edgington frequently informed Palmer's relatives that he allegedly acted in self-defense and that Palmer herself was ultimately fully responsible for her own demise, Cooley asserted in ongoing repeated discussions. In statements to authorities, Edgington said: “Sydney suffered from severely manic episodes. A physician had recently discontinued her Vraylar medication, and she reportedly grew furious with me for failing to remove the trash. She immediately proceeded to damage property inside our dwelling, and I asked her to stop. She then grabbed a concrete figure and threatened to throw it at me. I told her to stop. She hurled it, forcefully striking my own head.” “‘She loved you,' Cooley stated on Monday. ‘Even with her final breath for law enforcement, she simply refused to acknowledge you had killed her. She was forever attempting to defend you.'” Edgington, having spent 10 months jailed before securing bond in May 2024, is slated to spend five years one month in state prison.

Will Michael Proctor's Bad Police Work Set Karen Read Free? Is justice even possible when the lead investigator's integrity is in question? The Karen Read trial continues to spiral into murky territory, with more questions than answers about the reliability of the investigation. Former lead investigator Michael Proctor finds himself at the center of a storm of allegations—bias, planted evidence, and questionable conduct spanning multiple cases. From shocking texts about Read to his involvement in other controversial cases like the Brian Walsh and Sandra Burchmore investigations, Proctor's name has become synonymous with doubt. Can the jury, knowing these alleged missteps, truly remain impartial? And should this trial even proceed with so much hanging in the balance? When even the judge might be tempted to throw in the towel, you have to wonder—how far can a broken system bend before it breaks? #TrueCrimeToday #KarenReadTrial #MichaelProctor #QuestionableInvestigations #ReasonableDoubt #TrueCrimePodcast #JusticeInQuestion Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

According to Lee Davis, a friend and DJ, “She made sure everybody was comfortable,” though Janice Combs did not comment on her portrayal in the documentary. The film highlights Diddy's relentless ambition, which emerged during his time at Howard University. Ron Lawrence, a college classmate, noted that Diddy declared, “I'm gonna be the biggest record producer in the world.” His determination paid off after dropping out of college and securing an internship at Uptown Records in 1990. Patterson recalled, “He'd show up anywhere to get the bigwigs' attention—even sleeping outside of Andre Harrell's car.” Despite his success, Diddy's legacy faces challenges. In September 2024, he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his representatives vehemently deny the allegations. “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories,” a spokesperson told Us Weekly, criticizing NBC and Peacock for amplifying what they view as baseless claims. The documentary premieres on Peacock on January 14, offering a multifaceted view of one of music's most influential and polarizing figures. While it unearths stories of childhood resilience, ambition, and transformation, it also raises questions about the darker chapters of Diddy's life. #SeanCombs #DiddyDocumentary #MountVernon #MusicMogul #Peacock #HipHopHistory #Controversy Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe episode kicks off back in the shop, and Christmas is in full swing. Emily hears some Christmas carolers. She goes out and is kind of enjoying herself... kind of. The lead singer, Debby, is making some choices. Then, suddenly, a giant sleigh falls on her! She's not dead, and apparently, she's not even injured.Cut to Emily waking up once again from a crazy dream of her past life. She grabs some coffee and opens a briefcase. She looks at a picture of what we assume is her family from a past life. She grabs a USB drive that will shield her identity while she does some searching. She's trying to track down someone known as "Ky-Mer-a."Back at the store, Emily is greeted by Brooke Carmichael, who is part of the choir—the Belles. She wants to put up a flyer for their concert and tells Emily that some of the Belles think something is afoot because this isn't the first "accident" that has happened to them, including the death of a member, Clara, who was killed in a hit-and-run.So, Emily goes to check out the sleigh, which Sam is also looking at. He suspects something nefarious happened with the sleigh because of the way it's built.She decides the best course of action is to audition to join the Belles so she can keep an eye on them. She'll rely on Violet, Sam's daughter, to lock up the store at night. I'm sure nothing will go wrong. After practice, she talks to a guy named Lance, who is bummed about Clara because she was the key to their success. He insists that other members were jealous of her.She sees Clara's husband leaving the diner, so she goes to talk to him. He says he knows for a fact that Clara was murdered by the Belles.At the next practice, Debby begins gasping for air, and her epipen isn't in her purse, which she just complained had been moved. She ends up surviving AGAIN!Sam pulls Emily aside and asks for her help. He wants her to keep an eye on Debby. Emily says, "But Debby has almost died twice." Sam replies, "Well... she was also a suspect in the hit-and-run. It's possible she's faking these murder attempts to try to prove it wasn't her who killed Clara."The next day, Debby comes to the shop to thank Emily for saving her life. Emily gets right to work, asking questions. Debby claims she doesn't even have a car anymore; she had it hauled away months ago. Emily suggests, "You should've called Adam to do it." She says, "Adam doesn't like me very much—he showed up at my house late one night demanding I tell him who in the Belles Clara was having an affair with." She adds, "If Clara was having an affair with a Belle, I would've known about it."So Emily calls Sam. Adam thinking Clara was having an affair is a motive for murder. They go to his house, but he's not there. On the way back into town, they find his truck has gone off the road. Adam is nowhere to be found.They call in a search and rescue team. If he's in the woods, he won't survive the night in this cold.Emily heads back to her shop when she sees a masked man leaving the store. She tries to chase him, but he loses her. She has to call the police. Sam comes to check on her and asks, "Was it locked?" She says, "Oh, yeah, for sure."At the next Belles rehearsal, the leader, Vera, says Debby won't be making it to the Christmas tree lighting, so she'll be taking her place. It's clear Brooke is upset about that.Debby eventually shows up at practice and tries to sing the solo but can't. Vera and she get into a fight about Debby pulling back funding. Vera tells her that her money can't buy her the solo, and Debby leaves.Emily figures out that the key was stolen by a punk kid, so she goes and scares him into admitting it. It's great.Later, she goes to poke around at Adam's place. She sees a covered car. She smells bleach and ends up opening the trunk, cutting her hand in the process. It's Adam. He's dead.Later, while she's talking to Sam, she remembers something that happened earlier—Vera had a band-aid and said it was just a paper cut. But the cut is exactly the same as Emily's.Sam goes and picks Vera up. They test the blood on the trunk door, and it's a match.He begins to question her, and it comes out that Clara was going to leave the Belles for another group. Vera hit her with Debby's car. Adam told Vera that he knew Debby killed Clara and that he found the car. So, she freaked out and drugged him to buy time to wipe down the car. She didn't mean to kill him, so she panicked and threw him in the trunk. Crime solved.She remembers, however, that Adam was in charge of the electricity at the Christmas tree lighting and thinks he was planning on killing Debby. But Debby isn't singing... Brooke is. Emily arrives just in time to push Brooke away from the mic as it catches on fire. She saves the day!Sam is impressed, and they have a heart-to-heart. She begins to open up about her past... or at least what she's able to share.She gets back to her place, and suddenly, her computer screen shows a message: "I know you are there. I'm going to find you."

Examining the accounting books is key. The nature of the Mossad ops always involved pedophile rings. Israel has been our greatest enemy from the start. One of the biggest crooks in the world worked for them. Terrorizing children for the so called denigration of targets. From 911 on, Trump knew Israel was compromising our intel. The Wexner connections are everywhere. It would take pedophilia charges to stop the most entrenched enemies. Weiner's face says it all. Why wasn't this on Fox or CNN? Then it must be a conspiracy. The thirsty players that sell out for power. Sen. Adam Schiff is in the news again, and not for anything good. Why did he push war on Yemen? Mr. Tate, the woman brander, has people all stirred up. The laying out of the red carpet for the CCP. Whose covering the massive bill for the LA fires? Incredibly, eight million children go missing every year. Another look at Haitian corruption involving human trafficking. We will always have hope in fighting the world's evils and it has to begin with rescuing the children.

Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez has been added to the Brady List by Andrew Bain, former Orange-Osceola state attorney, following conflicting statements Lopez made about a crime scene photo in the case of 13-year-old Madeline Soto. The Brady List is a tool used to notify legal parties when a witness's credibility or truthfulness may be in doubt, potentially affecting court proceedings. In a December 30 letter, Bain informed Lopez of his inclusion on the list due to inconsistent explanations about a photo of Soto's body that was mistakenly posted on social media. The move could have significant implications for the death penalty case against Stephen Sterns, accused of Soto's murder, where Lopez is listed as a witness. The controversy began in July 2024 when Bain warned Lopez that he might be added to the Brady List. Lopez initially told Kissimmee's police chief and the public that the photo was posted by mistake, issuing an apology. However, during a radio interview with WDBO, Lopez stated, “As to the photo, there was an apology issued but it wasn't actually the body, it was an area of interest where there was a body found. No one ever came out directly and said it was the victim.” Days later, in a sworn interview with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Lopez acknowledged having the photo sent to his phone to compare the clothing on the body with what Soto was last seen wearing. Bain flagged these discrepancies as problematic for Lopez's credibility. In the December letter, Bain also criticized an internal memorandum from the Osceola Sheriff's Office that exonerated Lopez, stating it lacked objectivity and bypassed formal investigative protocols. “Adopting the reading the Memo does in this case suggests the Osceola Sheriff's Office does not care if an employee or member is truthful when answering questions outside the chain of command or, say, to the media. I cannot believe that is the case,” Bain wrote. Bain further argued that Lopez's statement to WDBO appeared to downplay the incident and shift blame. He wrote, “To be clear, the concerning statement in your interview is your assertion that ‘[n]o one ever came out directly and said it [the photograph] was the victim.' When viewed in this proper context, it is hard to read your immediate answer as anything but an attempt to claim the photo you posted was not the victim in an attempt to lessen your public responsibility for a violation of Florida public records laws.” In addition to being added to the Brady List, Lopez was fined $250 last month for violating Florida's public records laws in connection with the photo's disclosure. Bain emphasized that the conflicting statements could be used to impeach Lopez's credibility as a witness in Sterns' trial. The Osceola County Sheriff's Office responded to Bain's decision with a statement: “The Sheriff's Office completely disagrees with Andrew Bain's decision. The perspectives mentioned in his letter have no merit, and the Sheriff will be appealing his decision. No other statement is available at this time.” The Brady List designation places added scrutiny on Lopez and his role in the high-profile case. The decision also underscores ongoing concerns about accountability and transparency within law enforcement as Soto's family seeks justice. #BradyList #AndrewBain #MarcosLopez #MadelineSoto #OsceolaSheriff #PublicRecords #FloridaLaw Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Convicted murderer Lori Daybell returned to court Friday, asserting her right to represent herself in Arizona as she faces charges for the murder of her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, and the attempted murder of her niece's ex-husband, Brandon Boudreaux. During the hearing in Phoenix, Daybell, already serving life sentences in Idaho for the murders of her two youngest children and her fifth husband's first wife, stood firm in her decision to self-represent. She clarified to the court that she wishes to be addressed as Lori Daybell, using her fifth husband Chad Daybell's last name. Chad Daybell was sentenced to death in Idaho for his role in the murders. Prosecutors are preparing for the first trial focusing on Charles Vallow's murder, with jury selection scheduled for March 31. “The Defense intends on starting trial without delay,” Daybell told the court. Prosecutors anticipate their case-in-chief will take several weeks, depending on how long Daybell, acting as her own attorney, takes to cross-examine witnesses. Judge Justin Beresky acknowledged the complexity of scheduling, noting that a second trial date for the attempted murder of Boudreaux will depend on the duration of the first trial. “It's hard to set the second one without knowing how long the first one's going to take,” he said. Daybell made her presence felt in court, hand-filing two motions requesting additional discovery from prosecutors. One motion sought documents related to her extradition from Idaho to Arizona. Judge Beresky denied the motion, stating the materials were not relevant to the current charges. Despite these setbacks, Daybell appeared resolute. Her choice to represent herself, a rare and risky move in high-stakes criminal cases, has drawn significant public attention. Legal analysts have highlighted the challenges she will face, including navigating complex legal procedures and cross-examining witnesses. As her trial date approaches, Daybell's courtroom maneuvers will undoubtedly remain under intense scrutiny. Her ability to present a coherent defense while grappling with the weight of public opinion and her criminal history may shape the outcome of these proceedings. #LoriDaybell #ArizonaTrial #CharlesVallow #BrandonBoudreaux #SelfRepresentation #TrueCrime #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Will Selena's Killer Be Set Free 30 Years After Her Murder? What happens when a beloved icon is taken from the world in the prime of their life, and the person responsible gets a second chance at freedom? In 1995, the world mourned the loss of Selena Quintanilla, the Tejano superstar whose bright future in the English music market was cut short. Her killer? Yolanda Saldívar, a trusted confidante and president of Selena's fan club. Now, after nearly 30 years behind bars, Saldívar is up for parole—a prospect sparking outrage and debate. Should someone who committed such a violent act ever be granted freedom, no matter how "well-behaved" they've been in prison? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into the psychology behind such cases, exploring the nature of rehabilitation, societal consequences, and whether public opinion should weigh into decisions of justice. If Selena's family forgives, does that change everything? Or does lifelong accountability mean just that? #SelenaQuintanilla #TrueCrime #ParoleDebate #YolandaSaldívar #JusticeForSelena #CrimePsychology #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Karen Read's 'Dog Expert' Isn't Such An Expert in Dogs What really happened to cause the bizarre injuries at the center of the Karen Read case? As the trial looms, the debate over dog bites, expert witnesses, and baffling evidence continues to spiral. How does someone with no formal training suddenly become a self-proclaimed expert on canine wounds? And what about the pig DNA—seriously, pig DNA? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dig into the oddities surrounding this case, from coyote theories to gravel scrapes being mistaken for bite marks. Are we all overcomplicating this, or is the truth as elusive as it seems? When experts can't even agree on time stamps, how can a jury make sense of it all? Is this a tale of competing narratives, or are we destined to never truly know the full story? #KarenReadCase #TrueCrime #DogBiteMystery #CourtroomDrama #ExpertWitness #UnsolvedQuestions #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Attorney Eric Faddis Gives Us A Preview Of Karen Read Trial-Part Two Did Karen Read's dog Chloe really bite John O'Keefe, or was something far more sinister at play? In this episode, we dive into the murky waters of expert witnesses, conflicting testimonies, and even the unexpected role of a still-living canine in a case that grows more tangled with every court appearance. From the questionable expertise of Dr. Marie Russell to allegations of bias and potential misconduct by investigators, this trial is a masterclass in confusion—and possibly by design. As the defense and prosecution square off, one can't help but wonder: Will the jury untangle this web of mystery, or is it destined to remain a riddle? #KarenReadCase #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #ExpertWitness #CourtroomDrama #ChloeTheDog #CrimeMystery Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Karen Read Case: Will Dog & Cell Data Make The Cut In Her New Trial? Did Chloe the dog really play a role in the mysterious wounds, or is this another case of barking up the wrong tree? In today's breakdown, Defense Attorney Bob Motta dives into the tangled web of Karen Read's ongoing legal saga. With expert testimonies under scrutiny, dog bite evidence, and even coyote conspiracies entering the fray, the trial is shaping up to be anything but ordinary. The defense's pro bono attorney, a heavyweight with a history of tackling cases at the highest levels, isn't holding back on challenging the admissibility of key evidence. But does an expert's refusal to gather additional data undermine their credibility, or is it just another layer of complexity for the jury to unravel? And what about those coyotes lurking in the Massachusetts wilderness? Could they hold the key to understanding John O'Keefe's injuries? How do you separate the credible from the questionable when every angle is mired in doubt? #TrueCrimeToday #KarenReadTrial #HiddenKillers #DogBiteEvidence #DefenseDiaries #JohnOKeefe #LegalDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
