This week we’re back with Martina Castro, creator of new Exactly Right podcast Two Faced: John of God, a series about John of God, the famous Brazilian “healer” and “psychic surgeon.” Last week she explained John of God’s so-called healings and doctor spirits that attracted celebrities and visitors from all over the world, and this week Martina walks Lola & Meagan through some of the darker allegations that began to come out.She shares about how the sexual abuse survivors began to come forward with their stories, the deep political influence John of God had in the town that allowed him to get away with it in plain sight for literally decades, and the mysterious disappearances of people in the town. They discuss the dynamics of devotion and denial, and what it takes to finally break the spell.

In May 2010, 24-year-old escort Shannan Gilbert vanished after a frantic episode in Oak Beach, Long Island, captured on a bizarre 911 call where she claimed people were trying to kill her. Her disappearance prompted searches that uncovered the remains of multiple women along Ocean Parkway, including the "Gilgo Four" (Melissa Barthelemy, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Megan Waterman, Amber Lynn Costello) and others, revealing a suspected serial killer targeting Craigslist escorts. Shannan's skeletal remains were found in 2011; authorities ruled her death accidental (likely drowning/exposure), but her family and an independent autopsy argue for homicidal strangulation. The case exposed police bias against sex-worker victims, corruption under Suffolk County Police Chief James Burke (later imprisoned), and slow progress. In 2023, architect Rex Heuermann was arrested and charged with seven murders (Gilgo Four plus Jessica Taylor, Valerie Mack, Sandra Costilla), based on DNA, burner phones, hair evidence, and planning documents. He awaits trial in 2026. Shannan's death remains uncharged to him, with ongoing debate over whether she fits the pattern. Her mother, Mari Gilbert, became a fierce advocate before her tragic 2016 murder by her daughter. The Netflix film Lost Girls highlights the families' struggles and societal biases in the case. This month's Branch of Hope sponsored charity is: The Parents of Murdered Children. POMC provides ongoing emotional support, education, prevention, advocacy, and awareness for survivors of homicide victims, while working toward a world free of murder. It is the only national self-help organization specifically focused on the aftermath of murder. It emphasizes helping survivors reconstruct a "new life" after acute grief and dealing with the criminal justice system.

In February 1978, five young men vanished after attending a basketball game in Yuba County, California. Their car was later found abandoned deep in the snowy wilderness of Plumas National Forest far from their route and with no clear explanation why they went there.As searchers uncovered eerie clues, including a remote trailer stocked with untouched supplies, the mystery only deepened. Four of the men were eventually found, but Gary Mathias was never located. Nearly 50 years later, the case of the Yuba County Five remains one of America's most haunting unsolved disappearances.

Skip the banter: 00:10:20When Timmothy Pitzen's mother picked him up early from school in 2011, she said there was a family emergency, then spent several days traveling with him before being found dead in a motel room. She insisted in a note that her son was safe and would never be located, but the evidence investigators uncovered tells a more complicated story.

From invisible walls that stop cars and people cold, to centuries of witnesses watching ancient Roman armies march through a lake that shouldn't be dry — something unexplained is breaking through the boundary between our world and whatever lies beyond it.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: Ever since President Zachary Taylor died suddenly in 1850 after just 16 months in office, many have suspected foul play on the part of his political enemies. Is it possible that, despite what the history books say, Zachary Taylor was the first U.S. President to be assassinated? (The Mysterious Death of Zachary Taylor) *** Walking into an invisible wall or force field is a science-fiction trope… but perhaps it's not so fictional as you think, seeing as there are numerous cases of people encountering that very thing in real life. (Invisible Barriers and Time Portals) *** According to numerous legends and beliefs, the “White Gods“ once came to Earth and helped humanity develop and prosper by offering knowledge in many ways. Could those white gods have been extraterrestrials? (The White Alien God of the Meso-Americans) *** Over a hundred children were found stalking a graveyard, armed with knives and sharpened sticks in order to kill a vampire that had already killed and eaten two children in Glasgow… and this one event snowballed into a crackdown on comic books. (Comics and the Gorbals Vampire) *** A scientist dies at the South Pole with a lethal dose of methanol in his blood, a government cover-up blocks the investigation, and somewhere out on the ice, a man who disappeared decades ago may still be walking.

Jerry is the author of Murder at Midnight: The FBI's Battle with Violence and Drugs in a Small Southern Town, a true crime book about the investigation. He served in the FBI for 24 years.

If you or someone you know need help, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (800-799-7233).A Texas mother of four, Suzanne Simpson, disappears after an alleged domestic dispute—and prosecutors later charge her husband, Brad Simpson, with murder in a case that has drawn intense scrutiny because it's being pursued as a no-body homicide. In this episode, we break down what's publicly known so far: the reported timeline around Oct. 6, 2024, the early arrests and allegations, the murder charge filed on Nov. 7, 2024, and the pretrial fight over evidence and discovery. We also explain why prosecutors can move forward without recovered remains, what kinds of circumstantial proof typically become pivotal, and what to watch as the court calendar shifts following reports of a new wave of evidence. We also cover the connected case involving Brad Simpson's longtime business partner, James Cotter, who has faced charges reported as tampering with evidence and prohibited-weapon allegations tied to the investigation. Episode topics:· Suzanne Simpson missing: what we know· Brad Simpson murder charge + indictment· Bexar County hearings, discovery deadlines, and delays · The James "Val" Cotter case and alleged evidence issues· How no-body murder cases are prosecutedListener note: This episode discusses alleged domestic violence, disappearance, and homicide. Brad Simpson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1994, 18-year-old Heidi Marie Allen vanished from the D&W Convenience Store in New Haven, New York, where she was working alone as a cashier, with her last transaction recorded at 7:42 a.m. and the store found abandoned shortly after 7:50 a.m. despite money and personal items left behind. The case was ruled a forcible abduction rather than a robbery, prompting extensive searches involving police, military units, and volunteers, but her body has never been found. Two brothers, Gary and Richard Thibodeau, were arrested and charged with kidnapping; Gary was convicted in 1995 and maintained his innocence until his death in prison, while questions about the case's resolution persist decades later.

On a quiet stretch of Midwestern road, just outside the small town where everyone knew everyone else, DiAnne Kiedel disappeared into the kind of mystery that only seems possible in places that feel safe. She was a mother. A neighbor. The woman who waved when she drove past. And then, suddenly, she was the center of whispered conversations, late-night searches, and a question that refused to fade: what really happened that night? In this episode, we peel back the layers of a story that starts with an ordinary evening—and spirals into something far darker than anyone in town was prepared to face.SOURCES:1) Old Time Crime: 1966 missing person case solved 27 years later2) The Eternal Flame3) The Eternal Flame Part 24) Memory of Slaying Kept Secret for 29 Years

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store Nancy Guthrie has been missing for more than two weeks. The family is officially cleared, the black glove DNA doesn't match anyone they know… and investigators still don't have a suspect. Tonight, Scott breaks down what "NO DNA MATCH" really means, why that glove could be a dead end, and how you get 40,000+ tips and still have no one in handcuffs. We'll also look at the second case rocking headlines: rising artist d4vd named a person of interest after a 14-year-old girl's dismembered body was found in a Tesla linked to him – with his family fighting grand jury subpoenas while he has not been charged. Buckle up. This is where true crime collides with uncertainty, bad speculation, and a justice system under pressure to deliver answers. #CrimeTalk #NancyGuthrie #SavannahGuthrie #TrueCrime #MissingPersons #LegalAnalysis
