What happens when artificial intelligence, government power, China, climate politics, and human vulnerability collide? This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck Warren and Sam Stone are joined by journalist Juan David Rojas, attorney and AI ethics fellow Devan Patel, and historian Dr. Jody Edward Ginn. Plus, B's Crime Corner examines the tragic Lindsay Clancy case and the role postpartum psychosis played in one of the most disturbing cases in recent years. Juan David Rojas joins the show to discuss climate politics and the political shift taking place across Latin America. Juan recalls watching Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth as an elementary school student in Florida and the fear created by some of the film's predictions about hurricanes, flooding, and climate change. While acknowledging the broader concerns surrounding climate change, he argues that exaggerated predictions and partisan messaging can undermine public trust. Juan also explains why failed energy policies may be helping fuel a conservative resurgence across Latin America, particularly in oil-dependent nations where left-wing governments have attempted to rapidly move away from fossil fuels at significant economic cost. Follow Juan David Rojas on X: @rojasrjuand Next, Devan Patel joins Chuck and Sam for an in-depth conversation about the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence. Patel examines how Americans can better educate themselves on AI, the philosophical dangers of transhumanism, and the growing push to use technology to overcome fundamental limits of human existence. The conversation turns to one of the biggest questions facing policymakers: How much power should government have over AI? Patel argues for guardrails surrounding critical infrastructure, child safety, fraud, vulnerable populations, and emerging mental-health concerns while warning against government overreach, mass surveillance, privacy violations, and excessive corporate control. Patel also discusses the United States' technological rivalry with the Chinese Communist Party, arguing that America may need both formal and informal channels of communication with Beijing similar to U.S.-Soviet dialogue during the Cold War. He explains why American allies, global critical-mineral supplies, advanced semiconductor production, and international cooperation will all play major roles in the AI race. The conversation explores Marc Andreessen's accelerationism and Techno-Optimist Manifesto, antitrust concerns, corporate power, collective bargaining, lethal autonomous weapons, nuclear security, biotechnology risks, and whether the United States and China can find limited areas of cooperation before increasingly powerful AI systems become even harder to control. Patel also warns about authoritarian surveillance technology spreading around the world and argues that churches and other faith institutions may have an important role to play in protecting civil society and establishing moral guardrails against technological overreach. Learn more about Devan Patel: DevanPatel.com Then, B's Crime Corner examines the tragic case of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother and former labor and delivery nurse accused of killing her three young children in 2023. The segment looks at Clancy's reported mental-health struggles following childbirth, the medications she had been prescribed, and the role postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis have played in the legal and public debate surrounding the case. Finally, historian and educator Dr. Jody Edward Ginn joins the program to discuss the state of history education in America. Ginn argues that declining academic standards, ideological changes within higher education, and shifts in teacher-training programs have left too many classrooms without educators who possess deep subject-matter expertise. The conversation examines what that means for students learning American history — and what may be lost when ideology replaces rigorous historical scholarship.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, hosts Chuck Warren and Sam Stone examine China's growing challenge to the United States, disturbing allegations involving fentanyl enforcement in New Mexico, the latest developments surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, a 33-year-old NBA All-Star Weekend murder finally solved, and a dramatic migration crisis unfolding in Ceuta. Michael Sobolik, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and author of Countering China's Great Game: A Strategy for American Dominance, joins Chuck and Sam to explain why he believes Washington has failed to adequately respond to China's political warfare. They discuss TikTok and ByteDance, America's dependence on Chinese supply chains, Taiwan's security, advanced semiconductor exports, India's growing strategic importance, and why rebuilding the U.S. defense industrial base could be critical in a future confrontation with Beijing. Follow Michael Sobolik on X: @michaelsobolik Book: Countering China's Great Game: A Strategy for American Dominance Next, Vince Torres, Executive Director of America First New Mexico, joins the show to discuss New Mexico's fentanyl crisis and allegations from DEA whistleblowers that agents were told not to seize certain large drug shipments. Vince also breaks down the state's education struggles, the push for school choice, and changing voter-registration trends that could reshape New Mexico politics. Follow Vince Torres on X: @VincentTorresNM Then, B's Crime Corner takes us back to Salt Lake City and the 1993 NBA All-Star Weekend, where a woman was murdered in a case that remained unsolved for more than three decades. New forensic technology ultimately helped investigators identify a suspect, leading to an arrest and guilty plea in 2025. Alex Welz, Senior Research Associate at The Heritage Foundation, joins the program with an update on the Iran war and what escalating tensions could mean for global energy markets and the Strait of Hormuz. He discusses Iran's weakened military and economic position, continued support from Russia and potentially China, Pakistan's regional role, and efforts to revive the Kirkuk-Banias pipeline as another route for Middle Eastern energy. Follow Alex Welz on X: @WelzAlex Finally, Quebec-based Rebel News journalist Alexa Lavoie joins Chuck Warren following her reporting from Ceuta. She describes how social-media claims about an supposedly open border helped trigger a massive attempted migration from Morocco, the role she says Moroccan authorities played in the crisis, the use of unaccompanied minors, and the growing divide inside Ceuta over humanitarian assistance, security, and control of the Spanish territory.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Sam Stone is joined by B from B's Crime Corner to revisit the COVID-19 restrictions of 2020, Anthony Fauci's influence, vaccine requirements, and the conflicting information Americans were given about who was truly at risk. Then, B's Crime Corner examines the disturbing "Ohio House of Horrors" case, where 16 children were allegedly found living in deplorable conditions. Authorities said some may not have survived another 24 hours. Gary Siders Jr., Gary Siders Sr., Christina Siders, and Elizabeth Siders are accused in connection with the case. Sam Lyman, Head of Research at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, explains why America's Bitcoin, AI, and data-center infrastructure has become a national-security issue.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck Warren and Sam Stone are joined by former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Andrew Gould, former Congressman Mike Garcia, comedian Lou Perez, and Utah County Commissioner Amelia Powers Gardner. Plus, B breaks down the ongoing search for accused murderer Isabella Rose Johnson in this week's B's Crime Corner. Andrew Gould, a partner at Holtzman Vogel and former justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, joins the show to explain the major differences between serving as a judge and working as a litigator. While litigators advocate for a specific client or interest, judges are required to remain neutral, follow the Constitution, and apply the law regardless of political pressure. Gould discusses his transition between the bench and private practice and shares his concerns about the increasing politicization of the judiciary. He explains why judges should not be attacked for following the Constitution and addresses recent cases in which state and federal courts have been accused of resisting or defying Supreme Court rulings. The conversation also examines claims that the Trump administration has ignored court orders. Gould argues that while the administration has pushed the boundaries of executive authority, it has followed court decisions after losing its legal challenges. Gould also discusses a major Supreme Court campaign-finance case involving mandatory donor disclosure. He explains how forcing organizations to reveal their donors can expose individuals to harassment, retaliation, and political intimidation. The discussion expands into the importance of anonymous political speech, from the Federalist Papers to the Supreme Court's decision in NAACP v. Alabama. Gould also raises concerns about threats against conservative Supreme Court justices and the growing impact of government surveillance, private data collection, drones, and new technology on Americans' Fourth Amendment rights. Learn more about Andrew Gould and his work at Holtzman Vogel. Mike Garcia, chair of the California State Chapter for the America First Policy Institute and former U.S. representative for California's 27th Congressional District, joins the show to discuss biological males competing in women's sports, the political pressure driving Democrats further left, and why Republicans must move beyond social media and connect directly with voters through town halls, door knocking, and grassroots outreach. He also explains AFPI's role in developing policy and influencing White House executive orders. Follow Mike Garcia on X: @mikegarcia1776 In this week's B's Crime Corner, B examines the ongoing manhunt for Isabella Rose Johnson, who is wanted in connection with the murder of Jason Coulthart. Authorities say Johnson remains on the run and may be using aliases to conceal her identity. Five people accused of helping her avoid capture have now been arrested. As the search continues, the reward for information leading to her arrest has increased to $11,000. Comedian, producer, and author Lou Perez returns to the show to discuss the controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham's comments about transgender athletes competing in women's sports. Lou examines the WNBA's position on the issue and points out that the league currently has no transgender women playing in it. The conversation then takes an unexpected turn as Lou breaks down a 2007 University of New Mexico study examining whether a lap dancer's ovulatory cycle affected her earnings. The study found that dancers earned more money in tips while ovulating, raising questions about biology, attraction, and whether customers were responding to subtle signals without realizing it. Lou also previews his upcoming "Parental Advisory" comedy show in New York City on July 30. Follow Lou Perez on X: @LouPerez Book: THAT JOKE ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE: ON THE DEATH AND REBIRTH OF COMEDY Finally, Utah County Commissioner Amelia Powers Gardner joins the show to discuss the massive financial and logistical burden the Charlie Kirk murder trial is placing on Utah County. Gardner estimates that security, staffing, court operations, and other trial-related expenses could cost the county between $2 million and $2.5 million through 2028. She explains how a nationally watched murder trial can strain local resources for years and why taxpayers may ultimately be responsible for much of the cost.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, hosts Chuck Warren and Sam Stone examine election security, Colorado's dramatic political transformation, one of true crime's most infamous hot-mic moments, the battle over American history at the Smithsonian, political upheaval in Latin America, and the Federal Reserve's fight against inflation. Ethan Barton, an editor at The Washington Free Beacon and former editor in chief of The Daily Caller News Foundation, joins Chuck and Sam to discuss President Donald Trump's recent election-security speech. Barton explains why concerns about foreign interference from countries such as China and Russia deserve serious attention, while arguing that combining separate election issues can sometimes weaken the broader message. The conversation then turns to Colorado's transformation from a competitive purple state into a reliably Democratic stronghold. Barton breaks down the role of strategic Democratic investment, liberal population centers, weak Republican infrastructure, limited donor support, taxes, business losses, and changing economic conditions. They also examine rising anti-Israel sentiment within portions of the Democratic Party and the closely watched race in Colorado's 8th Congressional District, where Republican incumbent Gabe Evans faces Democrat Manny Rutinel in one of the country's most competitive congressional battlegrounds. Follow Ethan Barton on X: @ethanrbarton Read his reporting at FreeBeacon.com Next, B's Crime Corner revisits the disturbing story of New York real-estate heir Robert Durst. Durst was long suspected in the 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathie McCormack Durst, and the 2000 murder of his close friend Susan Berman. His secrets finally began to unravel during HBO's The Jinx when he entered a bathroom after an interview without realizing that his microphone was still recording. While speaking to himself, Durst uttered the chilling words that would become one of the most infamous moments in true-crime history. The recording helped renew attention on the case, and Durst was eventually convicted of Berman's murder in 2021. B's Crime Corner returns every Friday with a new story of murder, mystery, and mayhem. Mike Gonzalez, the Angeles T. Arredondo E Pluribus Unum Senior Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins the show to discuss a 162-page White House Domestic Policy Council report examining exhibits and educational materials at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Gonzalez argues that the museum has increasingly presented American history through ideological and activist frameworks instead of providing a balanced account of the nation's achievements and failures. He also explains the Smithsonian's enormous educational reach, its dependence on taxpayer funding, and why the institution's portrayal of American history matters as the country approaches its 250th anniversary. Follow Mike Gonzalez on X: @Gundisalvus Learn more at Heritage.org Carrie Filipetti, executive director of the Vandenberg Coalition and a former deputy assistant secretary of state for Cuba and Venezuela, joins Chuck and Sam to discuss the devastating earthquake in Venezuela and Colombia's recent presidential election. Filipetti examines the enormous loss of life and infrastructure damage in Venezuela, the government's delayed response, and the difficulties of delivering assistance while holding the country's ruling regime accountable. She also explains Colombia's rightward political shift following the election of Abelardo De La Espriella and what the result could mean for security, energy development, regional stability, and the future of relations between the United States and Colombia. Follow the Vandenberg Coalition on X: @VandenbergCo Connect with Carrie Filipetti on LinkedIn Learn more at VandenbergCoalition.org Finally, Gary Gygi, president of Gygi Capital Management, returns to discuss Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's approach to inflation and the economic outlook. Gygi explains why he views Warsh's supply-side focus as a potentially positive development for economic growth. He also examines the current market environment and identifies healthcare and materials as sectors investors may want to watch as inflation, interest rates, and federal monetary policy continue to shape the economy.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, host Chuck Warren flys solo to examine the growing appeal of socialism, the failures of government price controls, allegations of foreign-funded political unrest, the Charlie Kirk murder case, Arizona's escalating school-choice battle, and a new approach to America's federal assistance programs. First, former prosecutor and U.S. Senate Chief of Staff Chuck Flint joins the show to explain why price controls often make housing, healthcare, and other necessities more expensive and less available. Using New York's rent policies and Obamacare as examples, Flint discusses the consequences of government interference in private markets and responds to the rise of socialist candidates such as Zohran Mamdani. Flint also discusses his experience as a prosecutor and examines how anti-ICE demonstrations and unrest are organized and financed. He outlines reported connections involving activist networks, Neville Roy Singham, and possible Chinese Communist Party influence. The conversation then turns to the preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk. Flint explains why death penalty cases require extensive procedural safeguards, how prosecutors attempt to protect a conviction from future appeals, and why poorly managed judicial dockets may contribute more to court backlogs than a shortage of judges. Follow Chuck Flint on X: @ChuckAFlint Learn more about the Alliance for IRS Accountability: IRSAccountability.org Next, B takes listeners inside the mysterious final hours of Chalino Sánchez in this week's B's Crime Corner. The Mexican corrido singer built his career by writing about violence, survival, cartels, and the experiences of people around him. During his final performance in Culiacán in May 1992, Sánchez was filmed reading a note that many believe contained a death threat. Hours later, armed men reportedly abducted him, and his body was discovered the following morning. Was the note truly his death sentence, and who ordered Chalino Sánchez's murder? Matt Beienburg, Director of Education Policy at the Goldwater Institute and Director of its Van Sittert Center for Constitutional Advocacy, then joins Chuck and Sam to discuss the fight over Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account program. Beienburg explains how teachers unions gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures for a ballot initiative that could significantly restrict the ESA program, which now serves approximately 100,000 students. He warns that the proposal could impose income limits, restrict eligibility, and remove unused scholarship money that families have saved for future educational expenses. He also discusses the Military Family Protection Act, a proposed Arizona constitutional amendment intended to protect scholarship funds belonging to military families. Because the proposal would be placed in the state Constitution, it could override conflicting statutory changes if voters approve both measures. The conversation also covers two Arizona ballot measures addressing race-based discrimination, the role of outside money in ballot campaigns, and whether voters receive enough information about who is financing major initiatives. Follow Matt Beienburg on X: @MBeienburg Learn more about his work: GoldwaterInstitute.org Finally, Nic Dunn, Vice President of Strategy and Senior Fellow at the Sutherland Institute, joins the show to discuss "empowerment accounts," a proposal to combine multiple federal assistance programs into one streamlined monthly benefit. Dunn explains how the system could reduce administrative complexity, provide stronger incentives for recipients to work and increase their earnings, and address the benefit cliffs that can punish families for becoming more financially independent. He also offers a balanced perspective on artificial intelligence, recognizing its potential benefits while addressing legitimate concerns about its social and economic effects. The discussion concludes with a look at how the Sutherland Institute uses podcasts, videos, and other multimedia formats to make detailed policy research accessible to a broader audience.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, hosts Chuck Warren and Sam Stone bring listeners a special Fourth of July episode focused on America's founding principles, political hypocrisy, civic education, and a chilling unsolved Independence Day murder case. First, Sam Stone is joined by Jay Lapeyre, CEO of Laitram LLC, Board Chair of the Cato Institute and The Atlas Society, and a founding leader of the Free Society Coalition. Jay discusses the Declaration of Independence, the moral foundations of liberty, and why America's founding truths still matter today. He explains how the Declaration project grew out of a desire to move beyond partisan division by focusing on shared principles, civil discourse, human dignity, moral agency, and the pursuit of happiness. Sam and Jay also explore the Free Society Coalition's Declaration challenge, which encourages Americans to read, reflect on, and discuss the Declaration of Independence with family, friends, and neighbors. Next, Chuck Warren talks with Andrew Kerr, investigative reporter at The Washington Free Beacon, about his reporting on congressional financial disclosures and the wealth of politicians who campaign as working-class champions. Andrew explains how lawmakers can delay disclosures, why some still file in analog format, and what he found in Rep. Ro Khanna's financial records, including family interests tied to private golf clubs and wealth management. They also discuss Arizona Democrat Joanna Mendoza and questions raised after changes to her reported net worth. Follow Andrew Kerr  X: @AndrewKerrNC Then, Brenda Hafera, Assistant Director and Research Fellow in The Heritage Foundation's B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies, joins the show to discuss the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. Brenda explains how the interactive guide evaluates historic sites across the country for accuracy, bias, and educational value ahead of America's 250th anniversary. She also breaks down the American Revolution, the Stamp Act, religious institutions, civic virtue, literacy, self-government, and why everyday Americans should return to primary source documents to better understand the country's founding. Explore the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites at the website below: historicsites.heritage.org Finally, B's Crime Corner closes the episode with a Fourth of July true crime story: the unsolved murders of Shane Stewart and Sally McNelly.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, hosts Chuck Warren and Sam Stone dive into the biggest political and cultural fights shaping the country. First, Chuck and Sam discuss the controversy surrounding Major League Baseball's Pride Night events, including questions over whether players on California teams were properly told they would be expected to wear special Pride-themed caps and uniforms. They argue that most sports fans, including many gay fans, are not looking for political messaging at the ballpark and simply want to watch the game. The conversation then turns to low voter turnout in recent New York elections, how DSA-backed candidates successfully targeted younger voters, and why traditional Democratic turnout operations may be changing. Chuck and Sam also examine FIFA's decision involving rainbow flags at an upcoming Iran vs. Egypt match in Seattle, progressive contradictions on human rights, and broader concerns about radicalism, Sharia law, and national security. Then, B brings another edition of B's Crime Corner with the tragic case of Officer Isaiah Cordero, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop on December 29, 2022, by repeat offender William McKay. The case sparked a massive police manhunt and raises serious questions about bail practices, repeat offenders, and public safety. Next, Tony Napolitano, Senior Attorney at the Goldwater Institute, joins the show to break down two major legal battles.

Butcher breaks down the rising cost of college, the unclear pricing behind tuition, the role of federal student loans in tuition inflation, and the ideological imbalance on many campuses. He also discusses threats facing Jewish students, the impact of campus culture on young men and women, declining birth rates, and why lawmakers need to enforce the law on college campuses. The conversation also looks at trade schools, career readiness, and why America needs to rethink the idea that every student must follow the traditional college path.

Dr. Lee is a senior fellow at Hudson Institute, a senior fellow nonresident at the United States Studies Centre, and an adjunct professor at the University of Sydney. Lee discusses his article in The Hill, "After the Trump-G Summit, China, Not America, is on the Back Foot," and argues that the Trump administration's reindustrialization and rearming agenda has strengthened America's strategic position rather than weakened it. He explains why Xi Jinping is now operating from a less favorable position, why America's allies may need pressure to take defense more seriously, and why critical minerals have become a major national security priority after years of warning signs from Beijing. Dr. Lee also breaks down the Iran situation, arguing that a successful outcome for the United States would mean setting back Iran's nuclear ambitions and reducing its conventional military threat. He explains why China is a more rational negotiating actor than Iran, how regime security shapes Tehran's decision-making, and why the U.S.-Australia alliance remains strategically strong despite political tensions over Trump. Guest: John Lee Article: "After the Trump-G Summit, China, Not America, is on the Back Foot" in The Hill In the final segment, B's Crime Corner returns with a disturbing true crime case out of Ohio, where two parents were convicted after their 11-year-old son, who had Hirschsprung's disease, died in a hotel room after being denied medical treatment.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, hosts Chuck Warren and Sam Stone are joined by Kamden Mulder, Khosro Isfahani, Cary Davis, and Jon Fleischman for a packed episode covering the Biden DOJ, the FACE Act, pro-life investigations, Iran nuclear negotiations, free speech, FIRE, California politics, and B's Crime Corner.     First, Kamden Mulder, William F. Buckley Jr. Fellow in Political Journalism at National Review, joins the show to discuss her reporting on the Biden Department of Justice and allegations that the DOJ misused the FACE Act to target pro-life groups. Kamden breaks down concerns over dozens of investigations, uneven sentencing between pro-life and pro-choice activists, and what these cases reveal about politics inside the justice system. Kamden also discusses her reporting on Steve Descano, the Commonwealth's Attorney for Fairfax County, Virginia, who has faced criticism for being soft on crime.

X: @kamdenmulder_     Next, Khosro Isfahani, Research Director at the National Union for Democracy in Iran, joins the program to discuss his background growing up in Iran, the Islamic Republic, and the current nuclear negotiations with the United States. Isfahani explains why he believes the Islamic Republic is an expansionist regime that cannot be contained through agreements alone. He discusses the possibility of targeted action against regime officials and tools of oppression, arguing that the Iranian opposition can be supported without American boots on the ground. Isfahani also reflects on his Washington Post opinion piece about America being vilified in Iran. He shares how American movies, culture, and values influenced him and many other Iranians, contrasting that admiration with modern criticism of the United States from the political left. Khosro Isfahani:
X: @KhosroIsfahani     Then, Cary Davis, litigation attorney with the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, joins the show to discuss a major First Amendment case involving Larry, a retired Tennessee law enforcement officer who was jailed for 37 days after posting a political meme on Facebook. Cary explains how Larry was charged under a school threats statute and held on a shocking $2 million bond, an amount she says is typically associated with extremely serious crimes. After Larry received an $835,000 settlement, the case became a warning sign about political speech, online censorship, excessive bail, and First Amendment rights. Cary also discusses FIRE's broader work defending Americans facing punishment for online speech, including cases that followed the assassination of Charlie Kirk. She encourages listeners to support FIRE, spread awareness about free speech issues, and learn more about FIRE's Free Speech Forum summer program for high school students in Washington, D.C.

Jon explains how government spending and public employee unions continue to strengthen Democratic power in California. He also weighs in on the California governor's race, including Steve Hilton's chances of making the runoff and how Donald Trump's endorsement could affect the race.

It's hard to ever truly know what's going on in someone's head. Most of us are fighting private battles, the details of which we don't disclose to even the dearest people to us. Trevor Farthing, who lived in St Helen's, Merseyside, was no stranger to mental anguish. Over the years, his long term partner Marie saw in front of her very eyes how the joyful and generous man she'd spent more than three decades with, could fall victim to bouts of acute anxiety and severe depression. There were times when it seemed as if Trevor was in charge, like when he was handcrafting something artistic in the back garden or going on a lengthy bike ride with Marie but there were others where his demons got the better of him, as they do of all of us from time to time. On June 21st, 2017, Trevor vanished. More than six years later, Marie is still searching for the answer to what happened that day.For more information on every episode from every series visit https://themissingpodcast.orgIf you love the show, and you want to hear more content like The Missing, then you should sign up to Crime Corner.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

Whenever someone goes missing, we inevitably put our last interaction with them under a microscope. For Ann Margaret Allan, her final conversation with her brother Sammy Townsley is one that will be forever seared into her memory. Growing up in a traveller family, he saw his fair share of discrimination from an early age and sadly, as he made his way through adolescence and into adulthood, he found solace in bad company and illicit substances. Sammy would occasionally get into trouble with the authorities or find himself sleeping rough on the streets, but his family always made sure he knew that no matter how bad things got, they would always be there to pick him up when he fell down. But in October 2016, after a particularly emotional phone call with his sister, Sammy went to ground and hasn't come back up for air since.For more information on every episode from every series visit https://themissingpodcast.orgIf you love the show, and you want to hear more content like The Missing, then you should sign up to Crime Corner.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

You're in your home office. It's the middle of a busy work day and the house phone rings. You pick up, slightly irritated at the interruption, only to be greeted by the police and asked if you are your father's next of kin. We all know that nothing good comes after that question. Kate Armitage, whose father, Neil Skinner went missing in the Scottish highlands in 2022, lived that experience. After slowly piecing together her elderly father's movements, who had neglected to tell his family he was even in Scotland in the first place, Kate began the arduous process of liaising with mountain rescue, sitting by the phone for news and even heading out into the treacherous territory herself, in an effort to find out what happened to her father on the night he went missing.

Older sisters, for those of us that have them, leave an indelible mark on the lives of their younger siblings. Whether it's the music they played, the jokes they told, or the secrets they shared, being around them felt like a sneak preview of adulthood.Jill Brown, who was nineteen years old when she vanished without trace from the seaside town of Dovercourt, Essex, was beloved by her younger sister Libbi. So much so that she insisted on meeting her at her bus stop every evening when she got home from her job at a local laundry. But one foggy night in January 1978, as Libbi watched the doors of her sister's bus open, her smile turned to a frown when they closed again with no sign of Jill. Forty-five years later, Libbi is no closer to learning what happened to her sister on that fateful day.For more information on every episode from every series visit https://themissingpodcast.orgIf you enjoyed this episode - you can binge the rest of Season 6 RIGHT NOW - by joining our brand new channel Crime Corner.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

The sixth series of The Missing begin with the heartbreaking story of Aamina Khan. We urge you to listen to her father, Safraz.Imagine you're a parent, sharing custody of your young child with an ex partner. You go to collect them one day and no-one answers the door. Perhaps wires have been crossed and dates and pickup times have been miscommunicated? That wasn't the case for Safraz Khan, who in 2011 learned that his ex-wife had abducted their eight year old daughter Aamina and taken her to Pakistan without his knowledge. What followed for Safraz was years of pain and confusion as he did everything in his power, to track down his child. Along the way, he dealt with corrupt police officers, hostile family members and grappled at length with the British legal system. A decade later, he's still fighting to bring Aamina home.

Emma returns for a Crime Corner reviewing the active trial of the Delphi Murders, the double slaying of two young teenagers with key evidence being deliberately protected from the public.

Cruel, insane and bloodthirsty are all adjectives that could be applied to Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known by his nickname Caligula, the third emperor of Rome. His reign was marked by lavishly expensive vanity projects, endless attempts to blackmail his underlings and scandalous rumours of an incestuous relationship with his sister. Cassius Chaerea, a member of the Praetorian guard, Caligula's personal security, refused to sit back and watch as the deranged tyrant bled Rome dry and hatched a treasonous plot to end Caligula's barbarity once and for all.Crosshairs is a podcast from What's The Story - the leaders in premium true-crime content.For ad-free listening to this series - sign up to Crime Corner - brought to you by What's The Story.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

In 1965 Malcolm X found himself at something of a crossroads. The prominent civil rights activist, famed for his incendiary oratory prowess, was trying to start a new political movement whilst engaged in a very public split from the Nation of Islam, the black nationalist organisation where Malcolm had made his name. Standing on the stage of the Audubon Ballroom, he was all too aware that his enemies were circling. What he didn't know was how close they truly were and that his speech, to what he hoped were the next generation of fighters for the cause, would be the last one he would ever give.Crosshairs is a podcast from What's The Story - the leaders in premium true-crime content.For ad-free listening to this series - sign up to Crime Corner - brought to you by What's The Story.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

You don't get a nickname like the Butcher of Prague without earning it and Reinhard Heydrich, one of the highest ranking officers in the Nazi party, had certainly done that. Arriving in the occupied city in 1941, he deported, imprisoned or executed anyone he believed to be standing in the way of the crushing march of the German war machine. His reign of terror demanded a response and Operation Anthropoid was the answer. On December 29th, 1941, as World War Two raged, two soldiers parachuted into Czechoslovakia under cover of darkness. Their mission: to find and kill the man who had been holding Prague hostage.Crosshairs is a podcast from What's The Story - the leaders in premium true-crime content.For ad-free listening to this series - sign up to Crime Corner - brought to you by What's The Story.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

By 2009, George Tiller had become one of the most hated men in America. Between the never ending stream of protestors outside his clinic and the near nightly attacks on his character on Fox News the pressure on the Wichita based abortion doctor was reaching critical mass. What's more, three abortion doctors had been murdered in the previous fifteen years. Tiller refused to be cowed however, continuing to provide the women of his community and beyond with the healthcare they desperately needed. It was a decision which would cost him his life.Crosshairs is a podcast from What's The Story - the leaders in premium true-crime content.For ad-free listening to this series - sign up to Crime Corner - brought to you by What's The Story.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

In 1973 the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v Wade judgement makes abortion legal in the United States. Its a practice that has considerable controversy attached to it but Dr George Tiller firmly believes it be a vital option for women in need, opening a clinic in Wichita, Kansas. Soon, his work attracts the attention of the religious right who picket his business and intimidate his staff. Tiller isn't one to run from a fight and before long, finds himself a central figure in the struggle for women's right to choose, a position he never sought but a cause he's willing to fight and ultimately die for.Crosshairs is a podcast from What's The Story - the leaders in premium true-crime content.For ad-free listening to this series - sign up to Crime Corner - brought to you by What's The Story.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

Abraham Lincoln wasn't a man who cared to draw attention to himself, which is difficult when you're six foot foot four and the president of the United States. On the night of April 14th, 1865 Lincoln, weary after guiding America through four years of Civil War but optimistic about the future, simply wanted to sit back and enjoy some theatre. Little did he know, that by the time the night was over, all the audience sat in the Ford Theatre would remember was the name John Wilkes Booth and the shot he fired which ended the life of the most powerful man in the country.Crosshairs is a podcast from What's The Story - the leaders in premium true-crime content.For ad-free listening to this series - sign up to Crime Corner - brought to you by What's The Story.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

If you're an Irish gangster in the 1990's the last thing you wanted, apart from seeing the inside of a jail cell, is for Veronica Guerin to be writing about you. Through her dogged investigating and fearless reporting, Guerin exposed the rotten underbelly of the Irish criminal underworld - becoming the most famous journalist in the country in the process. That level of notoriety unsurprisingly put a target on the thirty-six year old's back, and on June 26th 1996, whilst stopped at a red light, Veronica was shot and killed by two men on a motorbike, a murder which sent shockwaves across Ireland.Crosshairs is a podcast from What's The Story - the leaders in premium true-crime content.For ad-free listening to this series - sign up to Crime Corner - brought to you by What's The Story.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.

Politics is a dirty business. Bringing about change requires fighting tooth and nail and that can make you enemies, something Harvey Milk, San Francisco Supervisor and America's first openly gay politican, knew all too well. On a cold November morning in 1978, ex-supervisor Dan White, who felt the so-called ‘Mayor of Castro Street' had played a key role in the premature demise of his own political career, shot and killed his former friend in San Francisco City Hall.Crosshairs is a podcast from What's The Story - the leaders in premium true-crime content.For ad-free listening to this series - sign up to Crime Corner - brought to you by What's The Story.Crime Corner is your home for brilliant true-crime story-telling.
