⛪ Blood and Papal Gold – Part One Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network Before the Vatican was marble and gold… before the Church had armies and crowns… there was Rome — a ruin with a heartbeat. In this first half of The Keys of Blood: The Assassination of Pope John VIII, we enter the smoke and silence of the ninth century — a time when popes ruled by letter instead of sword, when faith was a fragile currency, and when the empire that once conquered the world had been reduced to a city clinging to its own memory. ⚜️ Episode I: The Broken Empire Europe is in fragments. Charlemagne's heirs bicker over borders while Viking and Saracen raiders carve the continent apart. Into this chaos steps Pope John VIII, a scholar forced into kingship. His Rome is a relic surrounded by wolves, and his only weapon is diplomacy — or what's left of it. But when he dares to pay tribute to Saracen pirates to spare the city, his mercy is mistaken for weakness, and whispers of betrayal begin to echo through the marble halls of the Lateran. ⚓ Episode II: The Pope and the Pirates As the raiders tighten their grip, John is forced to choose between faith and survival. His decision to ransom Rome with gold saves lives but shatters his reputation. The Frankish kings mock him; the clergy call him coward; the nobles begin to conspire. When he crowns Charles the Bald as Holy Roman Emperor, hoping for salvation, the emperor dies within months — leaving the papacy more isolated than ever. Rome's enemies circle closer, and John's greatest fear becomes clear: the Church will not fall to pagans, but to its own believers.

The Devil's Checkmate On December 16, 2000, 31-year-old Mike Williams vanished while duck hunting on Florida's Lake Seminole. His truck was found. His boat was found. But Mike… was gone. For years, authorities believed he'd drowned—dragged beneath the surface by alligators. But there was no body. No blood. No real evidence of a struggle. What emerged instead was a story of greed, betrayal, and a staged disappearance that unraveled into one of Florida's strangest and most calculated murders. Criminal Mischief digs into how an insurance plot became a cold-blooded crime—and how, 17 years later, the truth finally surfaced from the swamp.

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.

MURDER FOR HIRE: REDUX In 2014, the shocking murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel stunned the Tallahassee community and sparked one of the most complex criminal investigations in recent memory. At the center of the case: the Adelson family, whose bitter custody battle with Markel became the backdrop for an alleged murder-for-hire plot. Last year, we brought you Murder for Hire, an in-depth look at the Donna Adelson case — a story of family loyalty, secrecy, and the chilling lengths some will go to when desperation turns deadly. Now, we're bringing that episode back, because there have been stunning new developments. The kind of developments that could reshape everything we thought we knew about this case. We can't say more just yet, but in our next bonus episode, we'll break down what's happened and why it matters. For now, revisit the tangled web of the Adelson family and the murder of Dan Markel — because the next chapter is finally here.

When Albert Einstein died in 1955, the world mourned the loss of a genius who reshaped our understanding of the universe. But in the hours after his death, a shocking theft took place—one that would turn Einstein's legacy into one of medicine's most macabre mysteries. Dr. Thomas Harvey, the pathologist who conducted Einstein's autopsy, secretly removed the physicist's brain without the family's consent. What followed was a bizarre odyssey: jars of brain matter stored in beer coolers, cross-country road trips with pieces of Einstein's mind in the trunk, and decades of scientific—and pseudoscientific—study that blurred the lines between research and obsession. This episode of Criminal Mischief investigates Harvey's motives, the ethical firestorm that erupted, and the strange journey of Einstein's brain through labs, private collections, and backroom deals. Was it science in the name of progress—or one of history's most infamous acts of body snatching?

Criminal Mischief – The Sins of the Father Melissa Wolfenbarger's story is as tragic as it is disturbing—shaped by a childhood in the shadow of unimaginable violence and ending in a mystery that still lingers decades later. Born to parents later revealed as serial killers, Melissa's life began under a cloud of darkness. But nothing could prepare her friends, family, or investigators for what came next. In 1997, Melissa disappeared without a trace, setting off a frantic search across Pierce County, Washington. Months later, her remains were discovered in the woods, raising more questions than answers. The investigation quickly turned toward her husband. Accused, tried, and thrust into the spotlight, he faced the full weight of suspicion—only to be acquitted when the case against him fell apart in court. To this day, the question remains: Who killed Melissa Wolfenbarger? This episode of Criminal Mischief examines Melissa's life, her haunting family history, the chilling circumstances of her disappearance, and the botched investigation that left her murder unsolved. It's a story of tragedy, trauma, and justice denied. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
