This episode covers: • Real Food Reset in U.S. Dietary Policy The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025–2030 put real food back at the center of U.S. nutrition policy and take a direct swing at ultra processed foods, added sugar, and sugary drinks. Dave breaks down why this matters beyond personal dieting: these guidelines influence school meals, SNAP and WIC, federal feeding programs, and they shape what eventually shows up on labels and in public institutions. He also shares how biohackers can use this shift as leverage to push for better food environments in schools, workplaces, and hospitals. -Source: https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2026/01/07/kennedy-rollins-unveil-historic-reset-us-nutrition-policy-put-real-food-back-center-health • Drug Combo Extends Lifespan of Frail Old Mice by 73% A new aging study found that combining oxytocin with a compound called A5i extended the remaining lifespan of frail elderly male mice by 73%, while also improving function and tissue health. Dave explains why this is a big signal for the future of longevity medicine: stacking targeted interventions can outperform single compounds, especially when you start late in life. He also explains what to do with the idea right now: stop building random “everything stacks” and start thinking in phases, tracking outcomes, and waiting for real human combo data. -Source: https://www.futura-sciences.com/en/study-finds-drug-combo-could-slow-aging-and-increase-lifespan-by-73_23229/ • ChatGPT Health Turns Your Data Into a Health OS OpenAI launched ChatGPT Health, a dedicated health experience that lets you securely connect medical records and wellness apps like Apple Health and MyFitnessPal, so you can summarize visits, interpret labs, and prepare better questions for your doctor. Dave explains why this is a turning point for quantified self and protocol building: it reduces the friction of pulling data from five different places, and it makes pattern-finding accessible to nontechnical people. He also shares how to use it like a pro: clean inputs, smarter questions, and better doctor conversations. -Source: https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-health/ • Whole Milk Is Back in Schools The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act restores whole and reduced-fat milk options in schools, aligning school nutrition rules with the updated dietary guidelines that no longer treat full-fat dairy like a default villain. Dave breaks down why this matters for child healthspan: satiety and nutrient density drive behavior, learning, and metabolic stability. He also explains why this is a real-world policy experiment worth watching across school districts, and how it can open the door for bigger institutional upgrades like better protein and fewer ultra processed items. -Source: https://www.usda.gov/about-usda/news/press-releases/2026/01/14/whole-milk-back-president-trump-signs-whole-milk-healthy-kids-act • Tirzepatide Trial Targets Biological Age With Aging Clocks A registered clinical trial titled Tirzepatide to Slow Biological Aging is using multiple DNA methylation aging clocks as primary endpoints, along with functional metrics like grip strength and a 6-minute walk test. Dave explains why this is a big maturity step for longevity science: instead of assuming metabolic improvement equals slower aging, this study is measuring biological age directly, across multiple clocks, with performance outcomes. He also shares the practical lesson for biohackers: stop relying on one favorite metric and start thinking in panels, function, and durability of results. -Source: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07220473 All source links provided for direct access to the original research and reporting. This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want practical strategies rooted in cutting-edge science.

Eric Thompson interviews Jed Inductivo, a Ninja with Compass in Los Angeles, who achieved his best year yet in 2025 with business up 56% year over year. What makes the story remarkable is that it happened during significant adversity. LA faced devastating fires that impacted clients and the community at large. Jed's brokerage dissolved, forcing a rapid transition. Instead of contracting, Jed expanded by choosing a player mindset, leading with value, and committing to simple, repeatable Ninja fundamentals. Jed credits a guiding belief, "This is happening for me, not to me," as the mindset shift that kept him solution-focused. During the fires, he stepped into service by supporting displaced clients, helping people find temporary housing, and sending resource packed newsletters that were widely shared and generated inbound calls for lease support. Jed breaks down the systems that drove his growth. He created two versions of a Real Estate Review, a five-minute version and a fifteen-minute version, to make Habit 7 consistent. He pairs those reviews with a steady rhythm of coffees and lunches, and he built a highly intentional agent referral engine that now contributes roughly two-thirds of his business. He also shares how his hospitality background helps him deliver a Four Seasons level experience through intake forms, milestone moments, and event style open houses. Looking ahead to 2026, Jed's focus is on calm in the hard, protecting mornings for focus and clarity, and doubling down on his vital few activities, including Real Estate Reviews, two coffees or lunches per week, and his power hour. Key Takeaways Adversity can be fuel when you choose a player mindset and stay focused on solutions This is happening for me, not to me, is a practical mental shift that prevents victim thinking and creates forward motion Value creates opportunity, and Jed's fire resource newsletters were shared widely and led directly to new lease clients Real Estate Reviews paired with coffee or lunch became Jed's strongest growth lever and biggest source of sales Simplify the habit so it happens consistently, and the five-minute and fifteen-minute review options removed friction and made execution weekly Follow up with an insight rather than asking if they have questions, which keeps the burden off the client and highlights your expertise Agent referrals are built intentionally through consistent relationship building, two agent connection calls per week, and making it easy to remember and refer you Make referring you easy with a simple one sheet that explains your market areas, specialties, and personal connection points Hospitality creates bespoke service and intake sheets plus milestone touches create a Four Seasons experience Authentic flow wins and the most sustainable systems are the ones aligned with your DNA and interests Memorable Quotes This is happening for me, not to me Real estate agents are problem solvers My biggest sales this year have come from this combination of real estate review, coffee, lunch by far Treat your clients like they're staying at a Four Seasons The best flow is authentic flow Links: Website: https://ninjaselling.com/ninja-podcast/ Email: TSW@NinjaSelling.com Phone: 1-800-254-1650 Podcast Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/TheNinjaSellingPodcast Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NinjaSelling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninjasellingofficial/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ninjaselling Upcoming Public Ninja Installations: https://NinjaSelling.com/events/list/?tribe_eventcategory%5B0%5D=183&tribe__ecp_custom_2%5B0%5D=Public Ninja Coaching: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/course/ninja-coaching/ Jed Inductivo: https://www.compass.com/agents/jed-inductivo/

In this powerful and wide-ranging episode of Gracias, Come Again, we sit down with DJ Tony Touch, legendary DJ, producer, artist, mixtape pioneer, and one of the most influential cultural figures in Hip-Hop history. Tony Touch takes us back to his upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, sharing how his Puerto Rican roots and musical household shaped his destiny. Raised in a family of musicians, with a grandfather and father who played music and a mother who sang, Tony explains how music was always in his DNA. We explore Tony Touch’s role as a firsthand witness to the birth of Hip-Hop AND reggaeton and how he has remained present and impactful decade after decade, building a global legacy while staying grounded in community. Going beyond the music, Tony speaks candidly about his private life, sharing that he is both a father and a grandfather, while explaining why he chooses to keep much of his personal life out of the spotlight. He discusses growing up in a religious home, how faith and God have always guided his journey, and how he attributes his success, longevity, and purpose to his spiritual foundation. The conversation also dives into Boricuas in Hip-Hop, Tony’s groundbreaking ReggaeTony era, and his work with icons like Tego Calderón & Ivy Queen. Tony reflects on being a crucial bridge when reggaeton traveled from Puerto Rico to New York, and how he helped introduce the sound to the Spanglish and Latino communities across the United States. We also get his thoughts on Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl performance, his cultural impact, and what his success represents for Latino music on the global stage. Tony closes the episode by sharing his vision for 2026 and graciously accepting his flowers as a true hip-hop legend whose influence continues to shape generations.

In this Trial Day 5 – Morning Recap, the defense begins presenting its case after the judge denies a motion to dismiss centered on alleged false testimony and missing digital forensic evidence. The morning opens with arguments over witness credibility and investigative gaps, which the Commonwealth counters by stating the jury—not the court—should decide those issues. The defense then introduces extensive body cam audio from first responderOfficer Beckner, capturing the chaotic moments inside the home, early observations of gunshot and stab wounds, and Brendan Banfield's interactions with officers and medical staff. Audio from the hospital includes the moment Brendan is informed of Christine Banfield's death and details surrounding evidence handling.A second officer's testimony largely mirrors the initial response. The morning concludes with testimony from a bloodstain pattern analyst, who discusses DNA results on the knife and clothing, the absence of injuries on Brendan's hands, and challenges the Commonwealth's interpretation of certain bloodstains.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-lies-and-alibis--4447192/support.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins True Crime Today for comprehensive analysis of the week's biggest cases. First: the Michael McKee investigation. Police have a ballistics match linking a firearm from McKee's Chicago penthouse to shell casings at the Columbus crime scene where his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer were killed. Surveillance footage places his vehicle at the Tepe home before and after the murders. But investigators haven't explained how he allegedly got inside with no forced entry — or why a surgeon would keep the murder weapon for eleven days. Second: the psychology behind the alleged murders. Monique Tepe did everything right. She left after seven months of marriage. She didn't fight for the house or the rings. She moved home, rebuilt her life, married Spencer, had two children. She never spoke McKee's name again — only called him "her ex-husband." Her family says they suspected him from day one but stayed quiet to protect the investigation. Eight years wasn't enough distance. Coffindaffer explains why. Third: day three of the Brendan Banfield trial. McDonald's surveillance video shows Banfield receiving Juliana's call at 7:37 AM — the exact moment she says was the signal that Joseph Ryan had arrived. The murder knife was hidden under blankets. Christine's phone was in a drawer. But Banfield's DNA wasn't on the knife because police allowed him to wash his hands first. Coffindaffer breaks down what this evidence means for both sides and what the defense needs to do to recover from three days of testimony that hasn't gone their way.#MoniqueTepe #MichaelMcKee #TepeMurders #BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #TrueCrimeToday #JenniferCoffindaffer #FBIAnalysis #DomesticViolence #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

If conscious music and ancestral wisdom intrigue you, this episode will stay with you long after the final note.
Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Caneiro brothers were supposed to be best friends. They were each other's best man. They talked every day. They built a business together. But prosecutors say one brother was bleeding the other dry — stealing from his life insurance trust, doctoring bank statements, living a $700,000 lifestyle funded by fraud. When Keith Caneiro finally demanded answers about missing money, prosecutors allege Paul responded by driving to his brother's Colts Neck mansion in the predawn darkness and executing the entire family.Keith was shot five times on the front lawn. Jennifer was shot and stabbed inside. The children — eleven-year-old Jesse and eight-year-old Sophia — were stabbed repeatedly. A detective testified that Sophia had a stab wound to her left eye. Prosecutors say both kids were still alive when the fire started. They died from smoke inhalation while bleeding out in their own home.Then, according to the state, Paul went home and set his own house on fire — with his wife and daughters inside — to make it look like both families were being targeted. When first responders arrived, the family was outside. Officers testified they were sitting in one of the family's cars, a Porsche. Calm. Composed. Giving statements.The evidence trail prosecutors have laid out is staggering: the murder weapon in his basement, DNA evidence on clothing, altered bank records, security footage showing him disabling cameras at 1:28 AM. This is a case about masks — the kind a man wears when he's pretending to be successful, and the kind that slips when the lie finally catches up.#PaulCaneiro #ColtsNeckMurders #MansionMurders #FamilyAnnihilator #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #KeithCaneiro #NewJerseyMurder #SiblingRivalry #MonmouthCountyTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers for a comprehensive breakdown of three major cases making headlines right now. First: the investigation into Dr. Michael McKee, charged with the premeditated aggravated murder of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer in Columbus, Ohio. Police have a preliminary ballistics match, surveillance footage, and video of a hooded figure in the alley at 3:52 AM. But they haven't explained how McKee allegedly got inside with no forced entry — or why a surgeon would keep the murder weapon in his apartment for eleven days. Second: the psychology of an eight-year grudge. Monique Tepe did everything survivors are told to do. She left after seven months. She didn't prolong the divorce. She moved home, rebuilt, remarried, had children. She never spoke McKee's name again. Her family says they suspected him from day one. They'd known for years he was a threat. And the system still couldn't act until she was dead. Coffindaffer explains the behavioral profile of a grievance collector who never lets go — and why escape sometimes isn't enough. Third: day three of the Brendan Banfield murder trial. McDonald's surveillance video confirms Juliana Peres Magalhães's timeline — Banfield received her call at 7:37 AM, the signal that Joseph Ryan had arrived. The murder knife was hidden under blankets, not in Ryan's hand. Christine's phone was tucked in a drawer. But Banfield's DNA wasn't on the knife because police allowed him to wash his hands before collecting samples. Coffindaffer analyzes what this evidence means and what the defense needs to do when it's their turn.#MoniqueTepe #MichaelMcKee #TepeMurders #BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #HiddenKillers #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimePodcast #FBIAnalysis #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What if your purpose isn't something you need to find, but something you need to remember? In this wide-ranging, eye-opening episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Simon Sinek reveals why fulfillment, optimism, and meaning don't come from chasing success, titles, or external validation, but from looking inward. As technology and AI reshape work, relationships, and identity, Simon explains why understanding your WHY is more important than ever, and how leaning into timeless human skills can help you thrive in a rapidly changing world. Simon goes far beyond leadership theory and gets deeply human. He breaks down: - Why who you are and what you're meant to do may already be inside you, shaped by your values, DNA, and life journey - How to think about identity beyond job titles and surface-level roles - Why your passions, frustrations, and questions about the world are clues to your purpose - How discovering your personal WHY leads to a more resilient, meaningful, and fulfilling life - Why purpose matters more than ever in the age of AI (and why trying to “outcompete” technology is the wrong goal) - Why we're expecting more meaning from work than any generation before us - Why Simon is a perpetual optimist and truly believes anyone can find fulfillment in whatever work they do - Real, science-backed benefits of a positive mindset - Why elite athletes and longevity-obsessed people may actually end up with shorter lifespans - Why conflict is unavoidable, but peaceful resolution is always possible - Responsibilities of leaders (and why leadership is about service, not status) - Key differences in how men and women tend to lead (and why both styles matter) - Why you sometimes have to fail before you can succeed - How to know when it's time to move on from a work relationship that no longer serves you And perhaps most hopeful of all: Why Simon finds real optimism in young people choosing connection over status, and why the future belongs not to the most productive, but to the most human. If you're questioning your career, your purpose, your leadership style, or simply how to live well in an uncertain world, this conversation will challenge how you think, and might just change how you live!

The Commonwealth rested its case today in the Brendan Banfield tria.Most of the day focused on blood spatter and blood transfer analysis, with a forensic expert explaining how different stains and patterns could support the prosecution's theory that the scene was staged. Testimony covered cast-off patterns, including linear and curved linear stains, transfer stains, and areas of saturation — along with questions about what evidence was and was not tested.The defense pressed hard on DNA testing gaps, and limitations of the analysis based on photos and body camera footage rather than physical evidence. The state's final witness was Christine Banfield's father, whose testimony was brief.After the Commonwealth rested, the defense moved to dismiss the charges. The judge ruled there was sufficient evidence to proceed, and the defense case begins tomorrow.The big question now: Will Brendan Banfield take the stand?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-lies-and-alibis--4447192/support.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

This is Episode 2 of 4 in Foul Play's Road Hill House Murder series, covering Victorian England's most notorious family crime. Episode 1 established the Kent family's toxic dynamics and the discovery of three-year-old Francis Saville Kent's body. This episode follows Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher's revolutionary investigation and his tragic downfall at the hands of Victorian class prejudice.On July 16, 1860, a train departed Paddington Station carrying a middle-aged man with a smallpox-scarred face and blue eyes that catalogued every detail. Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher—one of England's first professional detectives—was about to solve the Road Hill House murder in just five days. What he couldn't solve was Victorian society's refusal to believe...Episode SummaryWhen Scotland Yard's finest detective arrived in Wiltshire to investigate the murder of three-year-old Francis Saville Kent, he brought revolutionary investigative techniques that would shape criminal investigation for generations. Detective Inspector Jonathan Whicher interviewed witnesses separately, compared their stories for inconsistencies, and built psychological profiles—methods modern detectives would instantly recognize.Within five days, Whicher had identified his suspect: sixteen-year-old Constance Kent, the victim's half-sister. His evidence centered on a missing nightgown—one of three that Constance owned, now mysteriously absent from the household laundry. In an era before DNA analysis or forensic laboratories, Whicher understood that the absence of evidence could itself be evidence. A bloodstained nightgown couldn't be cleaned or hidden—it had to be destroyed.But Whicher faced an obstacle more formidable than any criminal: Victorian class prejudice. He was a gardener's son who had risen through merit. Constance was a "young lady of good breeding." When he arrested her, the public erupted in fury. Newspapers condemned him for persecuting an innocent girl. Her defense attorney, Peter Edlin, transformed the preliminary hearing into a trial of Whicher himself—questioning what kind of man interrogates a teenage girl alone in her bedroom.The magistrates released Constance due to insufficient evidence. Whicher returned to London in disgrace. His career was destroyed, his health broken. He was right about everything—and it cost him everything.Key Case DetailsDetective: Jonathan "Jack" Whicher, Detective Inspector, Scotland YardSuspect: Constance Emily Kent, age 16Victim: Francis Saville Kent, age 3 years 10 monthsLocation: Road Hill House, Road (now Rode), Wiltshire, EnglandTime Period: July 16-27, 1860Key Evidence: Missing nightgown from household laundry recordsOutcome: Constance released; Whicher's career destroyed by class prejudiceThe First Modern DetectiveJonathan Whicher represents a pivotal moment in criminal justice history. Before professional detectives, crime investigation relied on informants, rewards, and confessions obtained through pressure. Whicher pioneered systematic investigation: separate witness interviews, timeline reconstruction, psychological profiling, and the revolutionary concept that physical evidence—or its absence—could tell a story.His techniques at Road Hill House read like a modern investigation manual. He interviewed the household staff individually, noting inconsistencies in their stories. He reconstructed the timeline of the murder night hour by hour. He examined the crime scene for physical evidence. He built a profile of the likely killer based on access, motive, and opportunity.The tragedy is that his brilliance couldn't overcome the social barriers of his era. Victorian society wasn't ready to accept that respectable families could produce murderers—or that a working-class detective could be right about an upper-class suspect.Victorian True Crime ContextThe Road Hill House case exposed fundamental tensions in Victorian society. The emerging professional police force—Scotland Yard was barely thirty years old in 1860—represented a threat to traditional class hierarchies. When Whicher accused Constance Kent, he wasn't just accusing a girl of murder. He was claiming that a working-class detective could penetrate the secrets of respectable families and judge their daughters.The public backlash was immediate and fierce. Newspapers that had demanded answers now demanded Whicher's resignation. The same society that was horrified by Francis's murder was more horrified by the suggestion that his killer came from within his own family.Historical Context & SourcesWe highly recommend Kate Summerscale's acclaimed 2008 book "The Suspicions of Mr Whicher: A Shocking Murder and the Undoing of a Great Victorian Detective," which provides the most comprehensive modern analysis of the case. Additional details come from contemporary newspaper accounts in The Times and Morning Post, trial transcripts from the National Archives, and Victorian police records documenting Whicher's investigative methods.Resources & Further ReadingKate Summerscale, "The Suspicions of Mr Whicher" (2008)The National Archives (UK) - Victorian Crime and Punishment RecordsBritish Newspaper Archive - Contemporary coverage 1860Related Media:"The Suspicions of Mr Whicher" (2011 TV film starring Paddy Considine)Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foul-play-crime-series/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Leveling Up: Creating Everything From Nothing with Natalie Jill
What if the hormone replacement therapy you're taking is recycling in your body and creating the exact problems you're trying to solve? Most doctors test your hormone levels and prescribe accordingly. But here's what they're missing: it's not just about the hormones you make or the hormones you take – it's about how your unique body packages them, processes them, and eliminates them. And when this goes wrong, you can experience fibroids, unexplained weight gain, crushing fatigue, and worsening symptoms even though your blood tests look "normal." Dr. Betty Murray holds a PhD in hormone metabolism research and has spent over 20 years individualizing hormone therapy for women. In this conversation, we dive deep into the science that most practitioners completely miss: the three pathways your body uses to process estrogen, why your DNA matters (but isn't destiny), and how supporting detoxification in the wrong order can actually make things worse. This isn't a basic "should I do HRT" conversation. This is the advanced science that explains why some women thrive on hormone therapy while others struggle and what you can do about it if you're in the second group. We explore the difference between blood tests, urine tests, and Dutch tests (and why your doctor might be dismissing the most important one). Dr. Murray explains why taking supplements like DIM without understanding your complete pathway picture could be sabotaging your results. And she shares the critical downstream steps that must be supported first (sulfation and methylation) before anything else will work. If you've ever felt gaslit by "normal" lab results while feeling anything but normal, this episode is for you. Dr. Murray gives you permission to become your own health detective and shows you exactly where to start looking for answers. Listen now to discover the hormone processing pathways your doctor probably isn't testing, and why that might be the missing piece in your health journey. This is Part One of a two-part series. Part Two coming soon.

Day three of the Brendan Banfield murder trial shifted the focus from the au pair's testimony to the investigators who processed the scene — and what they presented may be the prosecution's strongest corroboration yet. McDonald's surveillance video shows Banfield in the parking lot on the morning of the murders. At 7:37 AM, he's seen exiting the bathroom with his phone to his ear — the precise moment phone records confirm Juliana Peres Magalhães called him. According to her testimony, that was the signal that Joseph Ryan had arrived. The timeline holds. Detectives revealed the murder knife was found hidden under blankets — not in Ryan's hand, not positioned to support the defense claim that Ryan attacked Christine. Christine's cell phone was tucked away in a kitchen drawer while she slept, allegedly hidden so she couldn't call for help when Ryan arrived. But the forensic testimony also raised questions for the prosecution. Brendan Banfield's DNA was not found on the knife. The explanation? Police allowed him to wash his hands before collecting samples. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins True Crime Today to analyze how that kind of investigative gap happens, what the placement of the murder weapon tells us, and whether the blood evidence — Christine's blood on Brendan's jeans — can compensate. We also examine the premeditation evidence: the firearm purchased weeks before the murders, the gun range trips with Juliana, the alleged $30,000 spent on triple-pane windows to soundproof the house. The defense has attacked Juliana's credibility. But day three brought evidence that doesn't rely on her word.

The Gilgo Beach serial killer case is fracturing. Rex Heuermann's defense just filed a 178-page motion demanding one murder charge be dismissed and suggesting another convicted killer may be responsible for some of the deaths attributed to their client.Judge Timothy Mazzei set a September 2026 trial date on January 13th — "come hell or high water" — but the defense isn't going quietly. They're challenging twenty search warrants, arguing the pizza crust DNA collection violated Fourth Amendment rights, and asking the court to throw out the Sandra Costilla murder charge. The evidence linking Heuermann to her 1993 death? A single hair on her outer shirt.The defense is demanding discovery from the John Bittrolff prosecution — a convicted killer already serving time for two Long Island murders with the same victim profile. Defense attorney Michael Brown noted that a former prosecutor previously said Bittrolff's "handiwork" was probably responsible for Costilla's death.Adding to the chaos: Andrew Dykes, a 66-year-old Army veteran, was just arrested in December for the murder of "Peaches" — Tanya Denise Jackson — long assumed to be a Gilgo Beach victim. Different killer. Same dumping ground.DA Ray Tierney remains confident with whole genome sequencing evidence, nine hairs across six victims, and a computer planning document allegedly detailing Heuermann's methods. But the single-killer narrative? That's officially dead. The question now is how many predators were hunting the same territory.#RexHeuermann #GilgoBeach #LongIslandSerialKiller #JohnBittrolff #SandraCostilla #AndrewDykes #TrueCrimeToday #SerialKiller #DNAEvidence #ColdCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We already know that what we eat, drink, and inhale can affect which parts of our DNA are expressed, and which aren't. But recent research poses a shocking idea: A dad's habits may be encoded in molecules and transmitted to his future kids. On this episode, host Samir Patel and biology editor Hannah Waters dig into the new epigenetic mouse studies exploring whether sperm cells carry more than just genetic information. This topic was covered in a recent story for Quanta Magazine. Each week on The Quanta Podcast, Quanta Magazine editor in chief Samir Patel speaks with the people behind the award-winning publication to navigate through some of the most important and mind-expanding questions in science and math.

In December 1991, four teenage girls were murdered inside an I Can't Believe It's Yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. Amy Ayers, Eliza Thomas, and sisters Jennifer and Sarah Harbison were tied, gagged, shot, and the store was set on fire in what investigators believe was an attempt to destroy evidence. The case became one of the most haunting unsolved crimes in Texas history.Over the years, police chased false confessions, arrested the wrong men, and watched convictions collapse when DNA failed to match. Families were left without answers while the case remained frozen in time.Now, more than thirty years later, cold case detectives say new DNA testing and ballistic evidence may finally point to a suspect. Investigators believe the crimes may be linked to Robert Eugene Brashers, a violent serial offender who died by suicide in 1999 after a police standoff in Missouri. Brashers is suspected in multiple rapes and murders across several states, and new forensic analysis has connected him to other cold cases using preserved shell casings and modern DNA technology.In 2025, Travis County prosecutors officially moved to clear the men once accused of the yogurt shop murders, acknowledging that the new evidence does not support their convictions. While Brashers can never face trial, detectives say these findings may finally give families long overdue answers and could connect him to even more unsolved crimes.After three decades of dead ends, is this the breakthrough that finally solves one of America's most disturbing cold cases?
Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The prosecution's case against Brendan Banfield just got a major boost from a fast food parking lot. McDonald's surveillance video, presented on day three of the murder trial, shows Banfield waiting in the parking lot on the morning his wife Christine and Joseph Ryan were killed. At 7:37 AM, he's seen leaving the bathroom with his phone to his ear. Phone records confirm that's the exact moment Juliana Peres Magalhães called him. According to her testimony, that call was the signal — Joseph Ryan had arrived at the Banfield home. Detectives also revealed where the murder knife was found: hidden under blankets on the floor, not in Ryan's hand, not positioned to support the defense theory that Ryan was the attacker. Christine's cell phone was tucked away in a kitchen drawer while she slept — prosecutors say it was hidden so she couldn't call for help. But the forensic testimony wasn't all favorable for the prosecution. Brendan Banfield's DNA was not on the knife. The reason? Police allowed him to wash his hands before collecting samples. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to analyze how that kind of gap happens in a double homicide investigation, what the knife placement reveals about the crime, and whether Christine's blood on Brendan's jeans compensates for the missing DNA. We also examine the premeditation evidence — the firearm purchased less than a month before the murders, the gun range trips with Juliana, the alleged $30,000 spent on soundproofing windows. The defense has hammered Juliana's credibility. But day three brought video, phone records, and physical evidence that doesn't depend on her word.

Episode 173 DNA ID Replay Kim Bryant and Diana Hanson While Jess is on winter break preparing new episodes of DNA ID for 2026, we are airing some of our favorite one part episodes weekly in what we call 'DNA ID Replay' episodes. These Replay episodes will air every week while on break with the exception of Christmas week. In this episode, we explore the case of Kim Bryant and Diana Hanson which originally aired in episode 37. 1979 Las Vegas, a weekday morning. 16 year old Kim Bryant was at a Dairy Queen waiting for her ride – and then she was gone. Her body was found a month later, sexually assaulted, beaten and murdered. A notorious serial killer was the only real suspect – he was executed in Texas, but he didn't kill her. When a tip came in in 2019, new testing was conducted on the biological evidence in Kim's case that isolated a male DNA profile. Forensic genealogy led to the name of a suspect, and further testing of his living relatives revealed that he was the killer of Kim Bryant. But naming him also allowed the LVMPD to close another cold case – the 1983 abduction, rape and murder of 22 year old Diana Hanson. The same killer had struck twice – at least.

In this episode, Diana and Nicole discuss the crucial process of writing a formal research report for the ongoing case study to identify the father of Cynthia (Dillard) Royston. Diana explains that a report is essential for synthesizing details, bringing a research phase to a close, and providing next steps. She outlines the project's objective—to find a candidate for Cynthia's father in Cass County, Georgia, during the 1830s—and notes the constraints, particularly the missing early Cass County deed records. They review previous research, including the systematic elimination of 13 Georgia Dillard candidates and the use of DNA analysis that suggests Elijah Dillard as a probable brother. The hosts share the heart of the research: the Cass County investigation. Diana details how four Dillard households found in the 1840 census were investigated and ultimately eliminated as Cynthia's family line. Nicole then reveals the major breakthrough: an analysis of the 1832 Georgia Gold Lottery identifies three new, high-priority father candidates who drew land lots specifically in Cass County: James Dillard, Joseph B. Dillard, and Roliver (Toliver) Dillard. The episode concludes with Diana's suggestions for future research, including targeted documentary work on these three men and finding a Y-DNA tester for the Elijah Dillard line. Listeners learn key principles for writing a strong genealogy report, such as documenting everything, acknowledging limitations, and creating clear next steps for future research.

On Aug. 23, 1984, Mary Flynn had been visiting her brother Martin Flynn and his wife, Kate, looking for houses for sale in their neighborhood. That night, around 10 p.m., a neighbor saw Flynn walking from her Toyota Tercel to the back door of her home after her visit to her brother and his wife.Hours later, she was dead.The next day, concerned that Mary hadn't shown up for work and unable to reach her, a fellow nurse at Cleveland Metropolitan General Hospital called Marty Flynn. The two met at the duplex and got in through an unlocked door on the tenants' side of the basement, according to court documents.His sister was lying facedown on her bare mattress, nude, badly beaten and bloodied. Her wrists were bound behind her back with what appeared to be a torn strip of the bed sheet, which was also tied around her neck and the bed's headboard.It wasn't long till police would bring in Tony for questioning, he'd recently done some work on Mary's house and had been seen talking with her that day. Innitially they let Tony go but a month later he got a call to say he needs to come in to the station because he is going to be formally charged with murder.After being convicted Tony eas sentenced to death and would spend more than 30 years on death row until DNA would seemingly exonerate him of the crime. He spent two years back home iwth his family until eventually a techincal legal loop hole saw him re arrested and sent back to death row where he remains today.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

In this episode of HAYVN Hubcast, Nancy Sheed talks with Adam Thatcher, CEO and co-founder of Grace Farms Tea and Coffee, for a thoughtful conversation about purpose-driven business, ethical supply chains, and redefining what success looks like in a for-profit model. Adam shares how a role rooted in hospitality at Grace Farms evolved into a bold social enterprise—one that gives 100% of its profits back to ending forced and child labor while delivering premium tea and coffee experiences to consumers everywhere. Key Takeaways Grace Farms as a catalystAdam traces the origin of the company back to Grace Farms itself—an architectural, cultural, and humanitarian space designed to foster connection, hospitality, and dialogue. Tea and coffee became natural extensions of that mission. From service to product with purposeDemand from visitors who wanted to recreate the Grace Farms tea experience at home revealed an opportunity: exceptional products could also carry an ethical and humanitarian story. A new ownership model enabled by policy changeA little-known change to the IRS code (4943G) made it possible for a nonprofit foundation to own 100% of a for-profit company—unlocking a powerful hybrid model for social impact. Why B Corp certification mattersBecoming a certified B Corp wasn't required—it was intentional. Adam explains how the rigorous assessment process helped embed accountability, transparency, and long-term sustainability into the company's DNA. Deep partnerships, not surface-level sourcingRather than scaling quickly, Grace Farms Tea and Coffee chose to go deep with women-led, organic, fair-trade cooperatives—building trust, visiting origins, and responding directly in moments of crisis. Tea as education and connectionBeyond beverages, the company uses tea as a storytelling and learning tool—inviting consumers to understand origins, traditions, and ethical supply chains through immersive experiences. Proof that values and quality can coexistAdam challenges the assumption that doing good requires compromise, arguing that conscious consumers will choose products that align quality with impact. This conversation is a powerful reminder that business can be both profitable and profoundly human. By grounding Grace Farms Tea and Coffee in hospitality, ethical sourcing, and radical transparency, Adam illustrates what's possible when values are embedded from day one—not added later as a marketing layer.

The episode follows AMBUSH's evolution from jewelry made for friends to a brand that Yoon describes as a platform, shaped by experimentation rather than a rigid business plan. She speaks candidly about learning in real time, being paid to learn, and why every job and skill eventually becomes useful. From research as a daily practice to AI as a tool that can accelerate creative work without replacing it, Yoon makes a case for staying open, resisting the urge to live in boxes, and trading horizontal expansion for deeper, more human storytelling. Her definition of what feels contemporary now is simple and powerful, pursuing who you are fearlessly, and staying uniquely human in a world increasingly driven by algorithms. Episode Highlights: A childhood shaped by movement and solitudeGrowing up between Korea, Hawaii, California, and Seattle, Yoon reflects on how constant relocation fostered independence, imagination, and an ability to adapt quickly to new environments. Solitude as a creative advantageTime spent alone became a space for imagination rather than isolation, laying the groundwork for curiosity, inner confidence, and long-term creative resilience. Subculture as a formative educationFrom Seattle's grunge era to Tokyo's club scene, Yoon describes how underground culture, music, and nightlife taught her more about identity and community than any formal training. Discovering design through curiosity, not strategyHer path into graphic design and later fashion emerged organically through interests in magazines, presentation, and visual storytelling, rather than a predefined career plan. Being paid to learn as a philosophyYoon frames early jobs, including PR and corporate design work, as opportunities to learn on someone else's dime, reinforcing her belief that no experience is wasted. AMBUSH as an organic unfoldingWhat began as jewelry made for friends evolved naturally into a brand, then into a platform, driven by experimentation, relationships, and responding to real demand rather than market forecasting. Tokyo as a creative accelerantMoving to Japan exposed Yoon to layered subcultures, cross-pollination between music and fashion, and a culture open to hybridity, shaping AMBUSH's DNA. Fashion as communication, not productYoon describes fashion as a visual language for expressing identity and connection, rather than simply clothing or commercial output. AI as a tool, not a replacementShe speaks openly about embracing AI as a powerful assistant that can accelerate research and execution, while insisting that creative intent and thinking cannot be outsourced. What feels contemporary nowFor Yoon, being contemporary today means fearlessly pursuing who you are, resisting algorithmic pressure, and staying grounded in humanity, curiosity, and purpose rather than chasing scale.

Scissors, spiral notebooks, cultural taboos — lefties have it rough. Jessica Wynn explores why 10% of us are southpaws here on Skeptical Sunday.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1272On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Left-handedness isn't controlled by a single gene — it's a cocktail of genetics, prenatal environment, and random brain development. The rare gene variant TUBB4B shows up three times more often in lefties, but even identical twins sharing 100% of their DNA can have different dominant hands.Your handedness was essentially decided before you were born. Ultrasound studies reveal fetuses showing consistent hand preferences by 18 weeks — those who suck their left thumb in the womb typically become left-handed. Your fetal position and which direction you turned your head may have sealed your southpaw fate.Left-handers possess a larger corpus callosum — the neural bridge connecting both brain hemispheres — enabling faster communication between the two sides. This biological quirk gives lefties advantages in multitasking, creative problem-solving, and activities requiring rapid information processing like video gameCultural conditioning has historically punished left-handedness, associating it with everything from uncleanliness to witchcraft. Schools once forced children to switch hands, and in some cultures today, using your left hand for eating remains taboo — a lingering echo of pre-toilet paper hygiene practices.Celebrate your brain's beautiful asymmetry — whether you're a lefty or righty. Try using your non-dominant hand for everyday tasks on August 13th (International Left-Handers Day) to appreciate how deeply ingrained handedness really is. It's a humbling reminder of how wonderfully weird human development can be.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

What can ancient DNA tell us about the first homo sapiens to arrive in Arabia over 50,000 years ago? Tristan Hughes is joined by Prof. Pierre Zalloua to delve into the groundbreaking advances in ancient DNA research that illuminate the complex journeys of these early human populations. They discuss the challenges of extracting ancient DNA in harsh desert environments, the role of climate in human migration, and the archeological evidence of early human presence which show continuous population movements over millennia.MOREThe Rise of HumansListen on AppleListen on SpotifyThe Kingdom of KushListen on AppleListen on SpotifyWatch this episode on our YouTube channel: @TheAncientsPodcastPresented by Tristan Hughes.

HCG is a heterodimeric glycoprotein typically produced by trophoblastic tissue. However, there are occasions where a serum HCG is obtained that remains low level POSITIVE, yet the patient is not pregnant, nor does she have a gynecologic malignancy. Why dose this happen. Not all these instances can be explained by the “PHANTOM” HCG. In this episode, we will review a new Clinical Consensus guideline from the ACOG officially being released in Feb 2026. Like the finding of an aberrant aneuploidy on cell-free DNA testing in pregnancy (NIPT) where the child is found to NOT be affected, where that abnormal result may signal a hidden malignancy, a persistent low level positive HCG that cannot be explained by pregnancy or a gyn cancer may signal a hidden malignancy elsewhere. Listen in for details. 1. ACOG CC #11, February 2026
Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Barry Morphew pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder Monday in the death of his wife Suzanne Morphew, who disappeared Mother's Day 2020. This marks the second time he's faced these charges. The first case imploded in 2022 when DA Linda Stanley's office failed to meet discovery deadlines and withheld key evidence from the defense — including unknown male DNA found in Suzanne's vehicle. Stanley was later disbarred for misconduct. Suzanne's remains were found accidentally in September 2023 in a shallow grave near Moffat, Colorado. An autopsy revealed BAM — a tranquilizer used on large animals — in her bone marrow. Prosecutors say Barry Morphew is the only private citizen in the region who had access to that drug, and he admitted using it weeks before Suzanne vanished. Court documents describe a troubled marriage: Suzanne texted Barry "I'm done" four days before disappearing, confided in friends about abuse, and had been secretly planning to leave him for a man she'd been seeing for two years. Barry maintains his innocence and says investigators have "tunnel vision." His attorney says this case will end the same way the first one did. Trial is set for October 2026. We cover the full timeline, the affair, the forensic evidence, and what prosecutors need to prove this time around.#SuzanneMorphew #BarryMorphew #MorphewCase #TrueCrimePodcast #ColoradoMurder #ColdCaseSolved #WildlifeTranquilizer #MurderMystery #JusticeForSuzanne #TrueCrimeCommunityJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado gave her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Trump at a private White House meeting, calling it a recognition of his “unique commitment” to Venezuelan freedom. Mr Trump posted on social media that it was a gesture of mutual respect, and thanked her. The talks come weeks after US forces seized Nicolas Maduro in Caracas and charged him with drug trafficking. Also: President Trump threatens to deploy military personnel to Minnesota as tensions grow over the deployment of ICE officers in the city of Minneapolis.

A Note from James:You know, I've known Scott Adams for probably 12 or 13 years. He was one of the first guests on this podcast, and he's the creator of Dilbert, which was my favorite cartoon strip for decades. But then, starting around 2013, he started writing about his life, his opinions, his approach to life, and what made him a success. The first book he did in this genre was How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. He also wrote another book that was very influential, called Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter. Both of these books are must-reads. Win Bigly is the best book ever about real-world persuasion. And Scott Adams himself was kind of an—I don't want to say he's an amateur hypnotist, but really more like a professional—in terms of how he used hypnotism techniques for persuasion. And How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big...when this comes from the very first podcast I had with him—how his story of how Dilbert became a hundred-million-dollar success… he was failing constantly. And the story of the success of Dilbert, which he tells in this episode we're going to show you now, is just amazing. Scott Adams has more recently become known for his political musings. He had a daily podcast, Coffee with Scott Adams, which I regularly listen to. I would say over the past decade—or 13 years, 12 years—he has not only become a great friend, and even somewhat of a mentor to me, but we've talked a lot, on and off the podcast—his podcast, my podcast—and he really helped me out through some times when I was a little upset about different things. He really knew how to reframe problems so that they would become successes. And when I first heard he was sick—this was last June—I was devastated. And of course, he prepared us all that he was going to pass away, which he did a few days ago. It was really upsetting. And, you know, I hate when people kind of take advantage of someone's death by saying, “Oh, I knew him great. He was my best…” blah, blah, blah. I just want to tell you: listen, put aside all your opinions. He was a great artist. He was a great storyteller. He had opinions you may or may not agree with, but he really knew a lot about the DNA of success and the real mechanics of persuasion—no BS, no academic stuff—just really how to do it. I would really encourage you: you could better your life if you read his books. I love this guy. I'm really sad he passed away. I've learned so much from him, and I want to share a little bit of that in this episode. Maybe we'll even do another one at some point. But, you know, rest in peace, Scott Adams. And please, if you haven't learned from him in the past—or even if you have—we had a great time whenever we talked. And here's a piece of that.Episode Description:Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) explains why he thinks goals can actually make you worse off—and why systems, energy, and probability are the real tools for building a career that lasts.He tells the story of how he broke into syndicated cartooning after repeated rejection, and how a small nudge from a stranger kept him from quitting too early.James and Scott talk about writing with “danger,” why people can't reliably judge good ideas, and how persistence becomes easier once you stop expecting a perfect plan.They also get into the emotional side of “making it”—including why success can feel disorienting when you hit a milestone you thought would solve everything. What You'll Learn:Build systems instead of chasing goals, because the target will move before you get there Increase your odds by trying many small bets, rather than staking everything on one “perfect” plan Write with an element of risk—if you're not at least a little scared, it's probably too safe Don't trust friends (or investors) to recognize a good idea on sight—nobody can predict outcomes reliably Protect your energy and schedule your hardest creative work when your brain is actually sharp Timestamped Chapters:[03:04] A Note from James: why Scott mattered, and why this still holds up [06:50] Scott's new book, Dilbert, and why “systems beat goals” [12:26] Scott's daily routine and how he actually creates cartoons[15:22] The real Dilbert origin story: rejection, Jack Cassidy, and persistence [22:12] “Danger” in writing: why safe content gets ignored [25:01] The strange downside of success: when purpose evaporates [30:09] Passion is overrated: why momentum beats motivation[33:02] The math of luck: a thousand 10% chances becomes a near guarantee [34:45] Talent stacking: combine mediocre skills into a rare advantage[37:03] Energy as the real multiplier: sleep, food, exercise, and timing [41:53] People can't judge ideas: why “bad ideas” still have value[45:13] The Spider-Man problem: responsibility after you've “made it”[46:01] CalendarTree: solving a small scheduling problem well [52:42] Why James's biggest opportunities came from writing that felt riskyAdditional Resources:Scott Adams — Coffee with Scott Adams (official community site)How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big — Scott Adams (Amazon)Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter — Scott Adams (Amazon)Dilbert (official site)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Ashley M. Fox. Summary of the Interview In this episode of Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Ashley M. Fox—former Wall Street analyst, Howard University alum, financial educator, and founder/CEO of Amplify, a fintech platform focused on making wealth‑building accessible to everyday people. Ashley shares her journey from working with ultra‑high‑net‑worth clients on Wall Street to becoming an entrepreneur determined to bring financial education and empowerment to communities traditionally excluded from wealth conversations. She discusses the creation of Amplify, her financial fall and recovery, her work in schools and prison systems, and how digital content has allowed her to scale her mission globally. The discussion emphasizes mindset, self‑belief, access, and a practical path to wealth, even starting with as little as $20. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Inspire financial empowerment Ashley explains how anyone—regardless of background or starting point—can begin building wealth and shift generational outcomes. 2. Demystify investing and wealth-building She breaks down how simple investing can be, the power of small consistent contributions, and how wealth isn’t limited to entrepreneurs or high earners. 3. Highlight her fintech platform Amplify She shares how Amplify democratizes financial education through online tools, community, and accessible investing classes. 4. Encourage a mindset shift Ashley stresses the importance of eliminating fear, building confidence, and using logic instead of emotion when making financial decisions. Key Takeaways 1. Wealth Begins with Belief and Mindset Ashley learned on Wall Street that the biggest difference between wealthy and non-wealthy people is not education—it's self-belief. Many people don’t believe wealth is possible for them because they've never seen it. 2. You Don’t Need a Lot of Money to Start Investing She urges people to start with $20, even buying fractional shares. It’s consistency—not starting amount—that builds wealth. 3. You Can Invest in Others’ Ideas—Not Just Your Own Building wealth doesn’t require launching a business. Buying stock is one of the easiest ways to participate in wealth creation. 4. Ashley’s Own Journey Included Failure After leaving Wall Street, she was evicted, slept on her parents’ couch for two years, and maxed out credit cards. Her purpose kept her going. 5. Financial Education Should Start Early She developed financial education programs for schools, prison systems, and everyday families because adults often learn too late. 6. Amplify Scales Wealth Education Her platform offers 300+ hours of videos and tools, helping members open 3,000+ investment accounts and invest $7.4M collectively. 7. Social Media Is Her Biggest Access Point Ashley reaches millions by being authentic, relatable, and consistent—meeting people where they are. 8. You Must Pay Yourself First Most people pay bills, companies, and creditors before investing in themselves. She emphasizes reversing that pattern. 9. Logic Over Emotion Wealth requires logical decision‑making, especially in the market. Emotional reactions undermine long-term financial growth. Notable Quotes (Taken From the Transcript) On Wealth Mindset “When you think and know and believe you have the power to create wealth and you deserve wealth, you move a different way.” “There is no president that can build the wealth that you can create for your family.” On Starting Small “You don't have to have a lot of money to start. You just have to have the will to begin.” “A whole lot of $20 can get you to a million—as long as you don’t stop.” On Investing “Consider the companies you give your money to and own them, because they are a lot cheaper than you think.” “If I’m helping you build a billion‑dollar business by using your products, I deserve a piece of the pie.” On Self-Reliance “You pay everybody… the bartender, the mortgage company—and you’re the one without money. Who’s going to worry about you?” On Purpose and Identity “My story never changed. The mission was always dedicated to the people I didn’t see coming into that building on Wall Street.” “Amplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Day three of the Brendan Banfield trial focused heavily on crime scene evidence, surveillance footage, and extensive DNA analysis. Jurors heard from multiple Fairfax County detectives, forensic specialists, and lab experts who walked through graphic crime scene photos, bloodstain patterns, and physical evidence recovered from the home.Testimony detailed the discovery of weapons, blood-soaked items, and a backpack containing items linked to the crime scene. Surveillance footage from McDonald's was introduced, establishing a timeline of Brendan Banfield's movements and phone calls in the minutes leading up to the 911 calls.The court also heard from firearms experts, fingerprint analysts, and forensic scientists who explained DNA testing on the knife, clothing, shoes, bedding, and other surfaces.Several samples showed mixtures of DNA from Christine and Joe Ryan, while other samples were inconclusive due to lab limitations. Y-chromosome testing was also discussed to explain how male DNA was evaluated when mixed samples were present.The state is nearing the end of its case, with only two witnesses remaining before it is expected to rest. Court will resume Tuesday following the holiday break.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pretty-lies-and-alibis--4447192/support.ALL MERCH 10% off with code Sherlock10 at checkout - NEW STYLES Donate: (Thank you for your support!

Surveillance video and phone records took center stage on day three of the Brendan Banfield double murder trial as prosecutors worked to corroborate au pair Juliana Peres Magalhães's testimony with hard evidence. The jury watched footage from a McDonald's near the Banfield home showing the defendant waiting in the parking lot on the morning of February 24, 2023. At 7:37 AM, Banfield is seen leaving the bathroom with his phone pressed to his ear — matching call records that show Juliana phoned him at that exact moment.According to testimony, that call was the signal that Joseph Ryan had arrived at the house. Ryan was allegedly lured there through months of messages on the fetish website FetLife from someone he believed was Christine Banfield — but who prosecutors say was actually Brendan posing as his wife.Forensic testimony revealed Brendan's DNA was not on the knife allegedly used to kill Christine, but forensic scientist Katherine Colombo noted that police let him wash his hands before collecting samples. Blood on Banfield's jeans matched Christine's DNA. Fingerprint examiner Douglas Gudakunst testified that prints on the knife were inconclusive between Banfield and Ryan.Detectives also showed the jury photographs from eight months after the murders when they returned with a warrant. The master bedroom where Christine died had been completely transformed — new flooring, new furniture, and photos of Brendan with Juliana replacing images of Brendan with his late wife. Juliana had moved into that bedroom.Prosecutors established Banfield purchased a firearm less than a month before the killings and allegedly spent $30,000 on soundproof windows.

The Paul Caneiro quadruple murder trial is underway in Monmouth County, New Jersey. Prosecutors allege Caneiro shot his brother Keith, stabbed his sister-in-law Jennifer, and brutally killed his 11-year-old nephew Jesse and 8-year-old niece Sophia inside their Colts Neck mansion on November 20, 2018 — then set the house on fire to cover his tracks. According to autopsy findings cited in a civil lawsuit, Sophia survived for nine hours after being stabbed 17 times, ultimately dying from smoke inhalation.The State's case includes bloody jeans and gloves with the children's DNA found in Paul's basement, ballistics linking a gun in his home to the murder weapon, and security footage showing him disconnecting his cameras at 1:28 AM. Hours later, Paul's own Ocean Township home caught fire — allegedly another arson he committed to make it look like his family was being targeted.The defense says police had tunnel vision. They're pointing at Corey Caneiro, the third brother, who was never investigated and whose DNA was never collected — despite standing to inherit $1.5 million from the same life insurance policy. A civil lawsuit alleges Corey took control of the insurance proceeds and bought a $1.8 million home within a year of the murders.Paul Caneiro has maintained his innocence for seven years. He faces life without parole if convicted.

It's 2009 in Fairview, North Carolina. Two teenage cousins are hanging out in a treehouse ten feet off the ground, stereo playing Elton John's "Benny and the Jets" into the cool fall night. Then, right around the third "Benny," time seems to stop. A massive finger, easily twelve inches long and covered in matted gray-brown fur with a thick black talon, slides through the cracks in the floorboards. Not frantically. Methodically. Back and forth. Whatever was attached to that finger was standing on the ground below, which means this thing had to be enormous. The boys froze, paralyzed by a fear Blake describes as primordial. Something deep in his DNA telling him there was no escape, no fight, just freeze and hope.But that's just the beginning. Blake's story opens up into a lifetime of strange encounters across the Carolina mountains: precognitive dreams that run in his Cherokee family line, a UFO sighting that vanished the moment it knew it was being watched, and a bizarre vision of a Native American chief named Timbo that he never went looking for. We dig into what makes North Carolina such a thin place, the connection between curiosity and intelligence in these creatures, and why Blake believes these encounters, terrifying as they are, have only deepened his walk with Christ. This one's got Bigfoot, orbs, little people lore, and a whole lot of Appalachian strangeness. Want to listen to this episode and an entire back catalog of exclusive members-only content?

All right Fam, get ready for our first-ever episode covering the icon himself: Joe Kenda. We're in Colorado Springs, on June 5, 1988. The brutalized body of 24-year-old Mary Lynn Vialpando has been discovered in a back alley. There are almost no clues to who killed her. But Joe Kenda is on the case. When Mary Lynn's husband frantically appears at the crime scene, he becomes suspect number one. But in the first case in Colorado's history to use DNA technology to solve this crime, it would take years for the killer to be caught and for Mary Lynn to receive some measure of justice.Find and watch "Homicide Hunter: The Man with No Face" on Discovery+WE'RE ON YOUTUBE - Want to view the episodes and not just listen?
