Melissa Lamesch was just days away from becoming a mother. The 27-year-old EMT from Mt. Morris, Illinois, was full-term and scheduled to be induced any day. On November 25, 2020—the day before Thanksgiving—her home went up in flames.Firefighters forced their way inside and found Melissa dead on the kitchen floor. At first it looked like a tragic accident. Then the autopsy told a different story: no smoke in her lungs, normal carbon monoxide levels, and clear signs of strangulation. Someone had killed her before the fire ever started—and then tried to burn the evidence. The investigation zeroed in on Matthew Plote, a firefighter-EMT and the father of her unborn son. What began as a relationship full of promises ended in a calculated cover-up. DNA under Melissa's fingernails, a web of lies, and a secret Plote was desperate to keep would eventually unravel everything.Timestamps02:38 Melissa's Final Days09:57 The Father Revealed18:18 Racing to the Scene29:57 Questions After the Fire53:20 The Autopsy Changes Everything1:12:36 Clues Start Adding Up1:23:52 Charges and Conviction    

Zaretta Hammond has spent her career pushing school leaders past feel-good equity language and into the instructional core, where the real gaps live. Her latest book, Rebuilding Students' Learning Power: Teaching for Instructional Equity and Cognitive Justice, names a pattern she calls cognition redlining — the quiet, well-intentioned way schools underdevelop the thinking capacity of historically marginalized students. She's the author behind Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain, a text already sitting on most instructional coaches' shelves. Districts have poured billions into equity work for three decades, and the outcomes for Black, brown, Indigenous, and linguistically diverse students haven't moved. Zaretta Hammond says that's not a funding problem or an effort problem — it's a cognition problem, and most principals have never been trained to see it.

Shaun has more proof WE WERE RIGHT! PLUS, Michele Steeb, CEO and founder of Free Up Foundation and author of Answers Behind the RED DOOR: Battling the Homeless Epidemic, talks to Shaun about the massive failure in homelessness in Democrat-run cities and states, the obscene amount of unaccounted money in homelessness initiatives that do not work, and how Democrats have a high tolerance for failure. And Richard C. Lyons, author of But By The Chance of War and The DNA of Democracy Series, discusses the insurrection of our education system making America illiterate and too stupid to know they are stuck in unwillful slavery.

Genghis Khan is famous for launching the conquest of the largest contiguous empire the world has ever seen. And for fathering enough children that today nearly every person of Asian decent carries his DNA. But he might not have done any of it if not for the love he bore one incredible woman, his Empress, Borte. The couple started their story as a great romance. As it evolved into a saga of war, conquest, and politics, Borte was by her husband's side, ruling in his stead and influencing trade and diplomacy across the Empire. She doesn't even seem to have minded his many other, lesser wives, who we will also meet today. Let's get to know the great Mongol Empress, Borte.

Hours after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez died, an LAPD detective testified, David Burke's phone and his Tesla were parked on a lonely stretch off Highway 154. At 12:04 in the morning the phone placed a call to her number. It went unanswered, and the car was back in the Hollywood Hills by about seven.Everything the state has shown at the d4vd preliminary hearing runs through one rented garage in the Hollywood Hills, and the defense has to answer for all of it.An LAPD criminalist told the court that a presumptive chemical test reacted strongly on the black rubber mats covering that garage floor, and again on the bricks she found underneath them. A rowing machine tested positive. A green tarp tested positive. A charging cord tested positive. A trash bag with wipes inside it tested positive. An inflatable pool that looked spotless and smelled fresh had one area glow under the same chemical, and a second criminalist later fit plastic fragments recovered during the autopsy into the cuts in that pool like puzzle pieces.Sitting a few feet from all of it were jugs and trays that tested negative and were written into the report without much fuss.Tony and Robin go item by item. Not to summarize the hearing — to interrogate it. What does the defense say about the pool? What does it say about the chain saw handles that were never swabbed for touch DNA? Or the third saw found in a closet and never collected, or the footwear impressions nobody could lift and nobody ever compared to a shoe?Blair Berk already got the state's own criminalist to say she cannot call it definitely blood. Only possibly blood.David Anthony Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys, and a judge will decide whether there is enough here for a trial. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three cases sitting in front of three different systems. None of those systems have delivered what was promised.Nolan Wells was an eighteen-year-old who went to a boat party on Horn Island, Mississippi, and was the only one who did not come home. The state performed an autopsy and retained his throat. The trachea, hyoid bone, and laryngeal cartilage. Nineteen days later, no results released. The family's independent autopsy came back undetermined. A grand jury referral is pending.Nancy Guthrie has been missing from her Tucson home for close to six months with no arrest and no suspect named. On the same day in July, three FBI sources gave three contradictory answers about the ransom notes. A retired FBI agent told a national audience the case is cold. Genetic genealogy testing on DNA from her home started five months ago with no public update.Lindsay Clancy's jury is seated. Both sides agree she killed her three children. She was prescribed thirteen psychiatric medications in four months. After the children died, she was intubated in a hospital bed and wrote a single question on a whiteboard. The prosecution reads it as guilt. The defense reads it as confusion.A grand jury with subpoena power is pending in Mississippi. Three FBI sources in Arizona cannot agree on the nature of their own central evidence. A medical system in Massachusetts prescribed thirteen drugs, ignored a husband saying his wife had turned into a zombie, and the state now wants to prove that patient was sane beyond a reasonable doubt. None of these institutions delivered what they were built to deliver.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines all three cases, the systems behind each, what connects their failures, and why none of them have produced the answers these families need.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Testimony placed David Burke's phone and his Tesla off Highway 154 in Santa Barbara County in the small hours after prosecutors say Celeste Rivas Hernandez died. While he was out there, according to an LAPD detective, the phone made one outgoing call. It rang through.Three days of d4vd preliminary hearing testimony have turned one rented Hollywood Hills garage into the center of a murder case. The state's criminalist described spraying Bluestar and watching the floor mats react, then the bricks beneath them, then a rowing machine, a green tarp, a charging cord, and a trash bag holding wipes and a scrap of black fabric.She described a blue inflatable pool with nothing visible on it at all. It smelled fresh months later and had a dryer sheet clinging to it, and she testified that one area of it lit up under the chemical anyway. Another criminalist matched plastic fragments taken during the autopsy directly into the cuts in that pool.And in the middle of all of it, sitting in plain view, were jugs that came back negative.Tony and Robin work through the state's evidence piece by piece and ask how the defense answers each one, because Blair Berk is going to have an answer. She already got the criminalist to concede she cannot call the reaction definitely blood. She already put the untested chain saw handles on the record, along with the third saw pulled from a closet that investigators decided was not worth collecting.The alternate-suspect theory needs somebody else, and multiple people lived in that house. The state says her DNA is in his car and in his home. Somewhere between those two facts is the case.David Anthony Burke has pleaded not guilty and denies all wrongdoing through his attorneys. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was fourteen years old, and everything in that courtroom exists because she is not here.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three families asked the system for something basic. Answers. Protection. Help. None of them received it.Nolan Wells was eighteen. He went to a boat party on Horn Island, Mississippi, and was the only one of the group who did not come home. The state retained his throat during the first autopsy. Nineteen days later, no findings released. The independent autopsy returned undetermined. A grand jury is pending.Nancy Guthrie has been missing from Tucson for nearly six months. Three FBI sources gave three different answers about the ransom notes on the same day. A former FBI agent called the case cold on camera. Genetic genealogy testing began in February. Five months later, nothing.Lindsay Clancy's jury is seated in Plymouth Superior Court. Both sides agree she killed her three children. She was prescribed thirteen psychiatric medications in four months. Her husband told the doctors she had become a zombie. After the children died, intubated and unable to speak, she wrote a single question on a whiteboard. The prosecution and defense cannot agree on what that question means.A grand jury with subpoena power. An FBI that cannot agree on its own evidence. A medical system that prescribed thirteen drugs, ignored the husband's warnings, and now wants to prosecute the patient it failed. The institutions in each of these cases had one job and none of them did it.The grand jury can subpoena testimony under oath. The genetic genealogy lab has had DNA for five months and said nothing. The medical system that prescribed thirteen drugs and ignored the husband's warnings is now the same system the prosecution needs to prove produced a sane patient. Each institution had one responsibility and none of them fulfilled it.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines all three cases, the thread connecting them, what the grand jury and the trial and the investigation should produce, and what the institutions handling each one owe to the families who are still waiting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

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 Emplify, 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 Emplify 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. Emplify 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.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 200 DNA ID Replay Le Bich Thuy While Jess is on summer break preparing new episodes of DNA ID, we are airing some of our favorite one part episodes weekly in  what we call 'DNA ID Replay' episodes.  In this episode, we explore the case of Le Bich Thuy which originally aired in episode 19. In October 1994, Le Bich Thuy's coworkers at a medical research institution in the Washington, DC area called police for a welfare check. The workaholic Le had not showed up to work for several days. When police arrived at her home, they found the unthinkable – Le had been raped and murdered. Because nothing in her life led police to her killer, her case went cold. Finally, though, science provided answers – and DNA connected Le's case to another cold case in the same area. A serial rapist was responsible for her death. And thanks to forensic genealogy conducted by a hobbyist police officer, the killer of Le Bich Thuy has been identified. **credit Bloodline Detectives: The Rockville Horror   To listen to every episode of DNA: ID ad-free and get other benefits, simply  visit our channel page on Apple Podcasts to get started with an AbJack Insider subscription.

A 3-6 homestand against the Mets, Dodgers and Yankees is not what Phillies fans were hoping for coming out of the All Star Break. All the team's flaws were exposed. Is inconsistency in their DNA, or can they use the trade deadline to change their stripes? On the latest Hittin' Season podcast, powered by WHYY, John Stolnis of The Good Phight, Baseball Prospectus' Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher, editor of SABR's Baseball Research Journal, discuss a big week ahead for the Phillies with the trade deadline just one week away!

On the same day in July, three FBI sources gave the public three irreconcilable answers about the ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. Reuters was told every note is fake. The Phoenix field office indicated that some may be legitimate. TMZ's sources said the original two are more credible than not.That is three positions from inside one agency about the most consequential evidence in an active kidnapping investigation that has produced zero arrests in nearly six months.Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson home in January. A masked figure was captured on her Ring camera. Former FBI agent Steve Moore publicly declared the case is cold, telling Brian Entin that fresh investigators will eventually cycle in because the current team has gone as far as it can with its approach.The cons have made it worse. Derrick Callella pleaded guilty to posing as a kidnapper and reaching out directly to the family with fake ransom messages. Someone else sent TMZ twelve emails demanding Bitcoin. The investigation has had to devote significant resources just to separating real evidence from manufactured noise.The enhanced photo of the masked figure captured on Nancy's porch camera has never been released to the public. Nancy's face is on the billboards. The suspect's is not. These are choices, and no one has explained the reasoning behind them.If the FBI has results from those five months of genetic genealogy testing, the public has not been told. If they do not have results after five months on a DNA sample in a kidnapping case, the investigation is producing questions faster than it is producing answers.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has publicly challenged investigators on ten specific points, including the unreleased porch image and the question of whether the Bureau already knows who porch guy is. DNA recovered from Nancy's home went to a genetic genealogy lab in February. Five months and no word.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

LAPD forensic evidence presented on Day 3 of d4vd's preliminary hearing connected the Hollywood Hills garage to the remains of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez through physical fragments too small to see without a lab. Trace analyst Lisa LaHendro testified that pieces cut from a blue inflatable pool in the garage matched material recovered from Celeste's leggings.The pool had "scalloped and straight" cuts made by a sharp object. LaHendro found hair fibers, plant material, and black foam-like fragments inside it. Criminalist Samantha Tosch confirmed the DNA match between the Tesla, the home, and Celeste. Lauren Wallace described evidence of blood cleanup throughout the garage — real blood, scrubbed from surfaces in a space that also contained jugs of fake blood the defense attributes to music video production.Defense attorney Blair Berk focused her cross-examination on investigative gaps. Chainsaw handles never swabbed. The Tesla exterior never tested. Multiple residents in the house. She's building the framework for a trial defense centered on alternative access. The prosecution's response came through Detective Roecker's technology analysis — cell tower data that tracked Burke's Tesla and phone to Santa Barbara County three times, beginning the night Celeste allegedly died. Her passport card was found along that same stretch of Highway 154.Burke is charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, unlawful acts involving a minor, and mutilation of human remains. He has pleaded not guilty. Celeste was fourteen years old, from Lake Elsinore. Her body was found in the front trunk of Burke's Tesla — one day after what would have been her fifteenth birthday.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three different FBI sources. Three different answers. On the same day. About the single most important piece of evidence in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping.Reuters said all the ransom notes are fabricated. The Phoenix field office said some may be legitimate. TMZ's sources said the original two are more credible than not. The Bureau cannot agree internally on whether the central evidence in its own active case is real or manufactured.Nancy Guthrie has been missing from her Tucson home for nearly six months. No suspect identified. No arrest. Former FBI agent Steve Moore went on camera and said what no official source has admitted. The case is completely cold. He told Brian Entin that fresh agents will eventually rotate in because the current investigators are stuck.This case has attracted cons alongside its genuine investigation. Derrick Callella pleaded guilty to posing as a kidnapper and sending fake ransom messages directly to Nancy's family while the real kidnapping was still open. Someone else separately sent TMZ a dozen emails demanding Bitcoin for information. The resources devoted to sorting real leads from manufactured noise have been enormous.Genetic genealogy testing began in February using DNA recovered from inside the house. That was five months ago. The enhanced photo of the masked figure on Nancy's porch has never been publicly released.Nancy's face is on the billboards across Tucson. The suspect's is not. The enhanced photo of the masked figure was captured on her porch camera. It has never been made public. These are deliberate decisions by the people running this investigation, and no one has explained the logic behind any of them.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to examine the Bureau's contradictions, what happens mechanically when a case goes cold, whether the genetic genealogy testing has produced results that have not been shared, and whether investigators already know more about porch guy than they have told the public.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Pool fragments on a dead girl's leggings. That's the evidence that came out of Day 3 of the d4vd preliminary hearing in Los Angeles, and it draws a direct forensic line between the Hollywood Hills garage where prosecutors allege David Anthony Burke dismembered fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez and the clothing found with her remains.LAPD trace analyst Lisa LaHendro testified that a blue inflatable kiddie pool in the garage had deliberate cuts — "scalloped and straight" — made with a sharp tool. The fragments removed from those cuts were recovered from Celeste's leggings. Criminalist Samantha Tosch testified the DNA matched. Criminalist Lauren Wallace found cleaned-up blood throughout the garage. And jugs of fake blood were sitting in the same space — the defense says music videos; the prosecution points to the real blood scrubbed from surfaces feet away.Blair Berk, Burke's defense attorney, spent her cross-examination asking what police didn't test. Chainsaw handles were never swabbed for DNA. The Tesla exterior was never tested. Multiple people lived in the house. Berk is building toward an alternative theory. But Detective William Roecker's cell tower testimony tracked Burke's Tesla and phone to Santa Barbara County three times — starting on the night Celeste allegedly died. Her passport card was found along that same highway corridor.The hearing continues. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder with special circumstances and other charges. Celeste was fourteen years old when she went to his home and was never heard from again.END_LINKS:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of the Research Like a Pro Genealogy podcast, hosts Diana and Nicole discuss the features and effectiveness of FamilySearch's new "Simple Search" tool. They explore how this experiment allows users to search billions of full-text records using natural language queries rather than traditional forms. Diana shares her experience testing the tool with her father's name, Bobby Gene Shults, demonstrating how the artificial intelligence parses results and helps distinguish between individuals with similar names. Listeners learn practical strategies for using Simple Search effectively, such as starting with broad queries and utilizing filters for collection, year, place, and record type to narrow results. Diana highlights the utility of the tool by successfully locating military muster rolls that confirm her father's service history and hospitalization during World War II. By experimenting with different search terms, spelling variations, and searching for associates, researchers can better leverage this technology to discover new documents for their family history. This summary was generated by Google Gemini.

It's five o'clock and you know what that means... it's time for El Bad, motherfucker! . . . YOU DON'T KNOW MOJACK is a podcast dedicated to exploring the entire SST catalogue, in order, from start to finish. During the podcast we will discuss all the releases that are part of our core DNA, as well as many lesser-known releases that deserve a second chance, or releases that we are discovering for the very first time (we actually don't know Mojack!). First and foremost we are fans, and acknowledge that we are not perfect and don't know everything – sometimes the discussion is more about a time, place, feeling, personal experience or random tangents, and less about the facts (but we will try to get to the facts too).

Forensic science has transformed the way crimes are investigated and justice is delivered. From fingerprints and DNA to new forms of anatomical identification, its breakthroughs have helped solve cases once thought impossible. Yet when evidence is misunderstood or experts overreach, the consequences can be devastating. In this episode, doctor and broadcaster Dr Radha Modgil speaks with Professor Lady Sue Black about her forty-year career as one of the world's leading forensic anthropologists. From a childhood spent helping her father prepare animals to work in anatomy laboratories, mortuaries and courtrooms, Sue reflects on the experiences that led her into forensic science and the responsibilities that come with presenting evidence in court. How certain can forensic science ever be? What happens when scientific evidence changes after a conviction? And how can juries be expected to understand complex findings? Drawing on landmark cases and her own pioneering research, Sue examines the role of the expert witness and the human cost of getting justice wrong. Professor Lady Sue Black is an anatomist and forensic anthropologist. She is the author of An Expert Witness, the final book in a trilogy that also includes All That Remains and Written in Bone. Dr Radha Modgil is a doctor, broadcaster and  author whose work explores health, wellbeing and the experiences that shape our lives.

Nolan Wells and d4vd — a defense attorney and former prosecutor looks at two of the most watched cases in true crime and examines what the evidence actually supports.In d4vd, the preliminary hearing put sealed evidence into open court: a digital trail of orders for chainsaws, a cadaver bag, a burn cage, and more — all allegedly under aliases, all allegedly shipped to his own address. But the defense established the chainsaws tested negative for blood and no DNA analysis followed. Evidence handling was challenged. The financial-motive special circumstance faces pushback after testimony that the defendant barely controlled his own money.In Nolan Wells, two autopsies returned no answers. The independent pathologist documented undetermined cause and manner. Mississippi retained the neck structures. Three hundred island witnesses, zero descriptions of a crime. A $125,000 reward posted before any medical evidence existed. Autopsy results announced in Chicago, not Mississippi. Cooperating friends facing threats and fabricated evidence online.Eric Faddis examines both evidence files through the lens of a defense attorney — looking at what a prosecutor has to prove, what the physical evidence actually shows, and where each case stands heading toward critical proceedings.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

d4vd and Nolan Wells — two active cases with evidence that public discussion has outpaced, both examined by defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis.The d4vd preliminary hearing unsealed prosecutors' digital evidence for the first time: online orders for chainsaws, a cadaver bag, a burn cage, an inflatable pool — all allegedly shipped to his own address under aliases. The digital trail looks devastating. But cross-examination revealed all three chainsaws tested negative for blood and no DNA testing was ordered. The cadaver bag was not fully preserved. The defense is planting flags that go directly at the prosecution's physical evidence and financial-motive special circumstance.In Nolan Wells, the independent autopsy came back undetermined. The pathologist could not examine the neck structures because Mississippi retained them. Three hundred people were on Horn Island and not one described a crime. But a $125,000 reward was posted before the autopsy results were announced. The results were announced at the NAACP Convention in Chicago, not in Mississippi. The friends who cooperated are being threatened.Eric Faddis examines what each evidence file actually contains — and where the gap between public narrative and physical evidence is widest.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

President Trump encourages all Americans who want the SAVE America Act passed - and we do - to call Senator John Thune's office and ask that he do his job. This whole mess brings into sharper focus - and for more voters - the weakling DNA of RINOs. New Jersey's governor blames illegals being registered to vote and voting in her state on President Trump and, if you can believe it, Putin. More liberal "influencers" including James Carville urge democrats to pass the legislation and move on or else be beaten like a drum in November.  

“It's kind of in the DNA of American bourgeois capitalist politics: demonize your enemy, call them a communist, and that's the end of the story. But there's another element, which is the Republican Party, the MAGA project, Project 2025 — the Trump White House is failing.” The House Ways and Means Committee has sent a subpoena to BreakThrough News, demanding internal communications, financial records and more. We are not charged with any crime, because our only “crime” has been to tell the truth – about the Palestine solidarity movement, about ICE's terror in our streets, about Washington's crimes around the world, from Cuba to the Congo. This is a flagrant abuse of power, and a direct attack on our work as journalists and on the First Amendment.The State Department's dangerous “Cuba report” released Monday – blasting Havana as the global center of a sinister anti-American communist plot by Russia, China, Iran, North Korea– is just the latest step in the Trump administration's McCarthyist revival. But attacks on the left didn't start with Trump: Brian Becker, host of the Socialist Program, joins BT Live to discuss how this latest crackdown on free speech is rooted in US history: From the Palmer Raids to COINTELPRO, every time a mass movement for a more just world starts to gain real traction, the state reaches for the same playbook.DONATE / SIGN THE PETITION: https://breakthroughnews.org/bt-under-attack

d4vd — the preliminary hearing put sealed evidence into open court and the defense used every minute of cross-examination to attack the prosecution's physical evidence. Blair Berk established that all three chainsaws recovered from the defendant's residence tested negative for blood. Prosecutors never ordered DNA testing on any of them. The tools that the prosecution says were used in the alleged dismemberment of Celeste Rivas Hernandez have no biological material connecting them to the crime.Berk also went after evidence handling: the cadaver bag was not fully preserved during collection and the burn cage was not seized during the initial search. If the prosecution's theory depends on these items, the defense is arguing the items don't support the theory.On the financial side, testimony established that the defendant earned more than ten million dollars. But the defense showed that his mother and his financial manager handled virtually all transactions — building distance between the defendant and any alleged financial motive. Three special circumstances are alleged: lying in wait, financial gain, and the allegation he acted to eliminate a witness. The DA has not yet decided whether to seek the maximum penalty.Eric Faddis breaks down what the defense accomplished, where the prosecution has to fill gaps before trial, and whether the special circumstances survive this hearing.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week, in Acme, Washington, a young woman vanishes while on a jog, on her very rural road. When she's found, brutalized & very dead, it's clear that there's a very sick person in the area, even prompting the police to look into the Green River Killer. Despite several suspects, detectives have nothing to go on, except hunches, and some DNA that they can't seem to match to anyone. Then, two women having a seemingly casual conversation at a waterpark, cracks the whole case, and reveals a murderer, that is as ordinary a man as there could be!!   Along the way, we find out that the diner seems to be the center of social interaction in some small towns, that you should consider it very good service, when you call to file a missing person report, and the police send a "human tracker" right out, and that "murder stay murder"!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!

“MK Confidential” continues its deep dive into the murder of JonBenét Ramsey. It is 1997, and the case is being decided not in a courtroom, but on cable news, in the tabloids, and in the court of public opinion.   Megyn Kelly traces how a local homicide became a national media obsession: the pageant tapes, police leaks, disputed footprints, handwriting claims, sexual-abuse rumors, Geraldo Rivera's mock trial, and unidentified male DNA that barely made a headline.    By November of that year, 88% of Americans with an opinion blame one or both parents, a verdict built on months of media spin, not evidence tested in court.

This episode originally aired September 9, 2019. For six years, a serial killer prowled the streets of New York City. He wrote letters to police and "The New York Post," indicating he would kill twelve people, one for each astrological sign. Forensic astronomy, handwriting analysis, and DNA extracted from the flap of an envelope gave investigators a profile of the killer, and a stroke of luck enabled them to find him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Retired agent Kerri Reifel reviews her work with the Fort Wayne Police Department on the investigation into the murder of 8-year-old April Tinsley, who disappeared on April 1, 1988. Her body was found three days later. But the murder went unsolved for over thirty years. Kerri worked closely with Fort Wayne PD Detective Brian Martin and others on the case for 16 years, first as an agent assigned to the Indianapolis Division and member of the Child Abduction Rapid Deployment team (CARD), and then as a certified profiler in the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU-3) Crimes Against Children program. Through genetic DNA testing, John Miller was identified as the murderer. He pled guilty to murder and child molesting and was sentenced to 80 years. Kerri and another BAU colleague spent two days interviewing him in prison. Kerri Reifel served in the FBI for over 21 years.

In this Conflicted Conversation, Thomas meets Laura Spinney, author of Proto: How One Language Went Global, the story of the Proto-Indo-European language and its descendants, which are spoken today by half of humanity. Laura explains: How, where, and among whom Proto-Indo-European emerged How Indo-European split into English, Hindi, Persian, Russian, Greek, Latin-derived Romance languages, Celtic, Germanic, Baltic and Slavic tongues How linguists reconstruct an unwritten prehistoric language through sound laws, comparative vocabulary and ancient texts Why ancient DNA has transformed the debate over Indo-European origins by restoring migration to the centre of the story Who the Yamnaya were, and how mobile pastoralists north of the Black Sea spread language through cattle, wagons, dairy and steppe mobility How a small number of steppe migrants may have transformed Europe's languages through disease, prestige, violence, intermarriage and social networks Why Tocharian, Sanskrit and Persian reveal extraordinary Indo-European journeys from the Pontic-Caspian steppe to China, India and Iran How ‘Aryan' began as a real Indo-Iranian self-description before being distorted by racial nationalism and Nazi pseudoscience Join the Conflicted Community here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://conflicted.supportingcast.fm/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find Laura on X: https://x.com/lfspinney And on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/laurainparis.bsky.social And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laura.spinney Find us on X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/MHconflicted⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/MHconflicted⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/conflictedpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed 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 Emplify, 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 Emplify 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. Emplify 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.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever looked at your very different children and wondered how they could possibly share the same DNA, same parents, and same upbringing, you're not alone— and you're imagining things. Research shows that while siblings are usually more alike in appearance and intelligence than we sometimes think, their personalities are as different from one another as they would be from a stranger on the street.

This episode explores the explosive theory that the historical Yeshua was actually a revered tantric master who spent his “lost years” studying Buddhist and Hindu traditions in India and Tibet. For this odyssey, I'm joined by researcher Ian Purdie. He'll argue that “lead-poisoned” Roman authorities hijacked these profound spiritual insights to manufacture a fake hybrid faith designed specifically for political domination and imperial crowd control. Central to this narrative is the DNA evidence from the Talpiot tomb, which reveals the physical remains of Yeshua alongside his wife, Mariamne, and their son, directly challenging centuries of enforced dogma regarding the resurrection. By unmasking this “Roman Heist,” we'll reclaim an original message of inner enlightenment and depth consciousness from the suppressive intellectual straitjacket imposed by the Church for two millennia.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed 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 Emplify, 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 Emplify 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. Emplify 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.” “Emplify is the movement. It just has my DNA.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What defines a family? For a group of strangers, that question took on a profound, unexpected meaning after DNA tests revealed a hidden, decades-old deception. They discovered they were all half-siblings conceived through artificial insemination in the mid-20th century. Their biological father was not the man who raised them, but Dr. Charles Charny, a Philadelphia fertility specialist.In this week's episode of The Sunday Story, Frank Langfitt follows this unique family as they piece together their strange creation tale and decide to become a family.

A forensic DNA test usually scans about 20 fixed markers of DNA. It may take a few days but it's enough to differentiate a suspect from the rest of the world with a near perfect level of certainty.   Except for identical twins.   It's not a perfect analogy but think of DNA as a 3 billion letter book. Most people have about 20 chapters that are completely different. For identical twins, their entire book is identical except for about 8 typos. Not 8 different chapters, or sentences, not even 8 different words. 8 letter typos amongst 3 billion letters.   The technology to find these is only available at a handful of labs and costs hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars. Thankfully, identical twin crime is rare.   Except for Ohio.   A woman who lives alone is raped and murdered in her own home, and the DNA left at the scene traces back to a set of identical twins.   Two 13 year old boys are the main suspects but which twin is innocent? And which twin is guilty?         Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
