“MK Confidential” follows a lead that the jury never fully hears. In the late morning of December 24, 2002, a neighbor spots three men and a van across the street from the Petersons, that don't look like they belong there. Laci Peterson is last seen twenty minutes later. Megyn tracks down the witnesses one by one: a mailman who says the Petersons' gate was open and their dog, which barks at him every single day, stays silent. Six people who say they saw a pregnant woman walking a golden retriever that same morning, after Scott had already left for the marina. Plus, a hypnotized witness, a burglary across the street, a van found burned nearby, and interview tapes marked for destruction before the trial even begins. None of it proves that Laci was around that morning. But it raises the question about what the jury was ever allowed to consider. Meanwhile, her husband Scott Peterson changes his appearance and buys a car in his mother's name — for cash. He has no idea he'll soon be in handcuffs. This is Episode 3 of the Laci Peterson story.

“MK Confidential” retraces what happened that Christmas Eve in 2002. Four police officers walk into a quiet Modesto home, drapes drawn, a Christmas tree surrounded by presents, and a nursery already stocked and awaiting a new baby. The woman who lives there is eight months pregnant, and missing. Her husband says he had gone fishing roughly ninety miles away. Megyn walks through that day, twice. First, the way Scott Peterson tells it to police, hour by hour, detail by detail. And second, the way investigators come to believe that day actually happened, using a mopped floor, a dog left on its leash, a stain on a comforter, and a reference to a cooking show that don't add up with Scott's timeline. Detectives end up with a list that pushes them toward a dark theory of how — they believe — Scott killed his wife Laci, got rid of her body, and tried to cover it up. This is Episode 2 of the Laci Peterson story.

“MK Confidential” returns right in the thick of a new case: New Year's Eve, 2002. A young mother gets a phone call from her new boyfriend, who's celebrating at the Eiffel Tower, on the other side of the world. She knows he is not in Paris, his very pregnant wife is missing, and the man at the end of the line is the chief suspect. Her name is Amber Frey, and she is recording his every word. Megyn Kelly traces Scott and Amber's relationship to November 2022, when Scott charms a colleague at a work conference, and is set up on a blind date. Scott tells Amber he is single, and soon charms her, as well. Four weeks later, Laci Peterson vanishes. Within a week, Amber learns the truth about Scott, and goes to the police. Amber agrees to record her phone calls with Scott, pretending to believe his stories about world travel as he calls her from the vigil for his missing wife. The conversations become invaluable as the days tick by, and Laci's trail grows cold. By the time Laci's body washes up on the shore of the San Francisco Bay, Scott Peterson has spent hours speaking into a microphone, as though nothing was wrong in his world. This is Episode 1 of the Laci Peterson story.

Mikita Brottman is an acclaimed nonfiction author, psychoanalyst, and professor whose work explores the darker and more complicated corners of human behavior. Her books include A Double Life, Guilty Creatures, Couple Found Slain, and An Unexplained Death, a Gold Dagger Award finalist. With professional experience in forensic psychiatric facilities and the Maryland prison system, Brottman brings a unique psychological perspective to true crime. Rather than simply asking who committed a crime and how they did it, she digs deeper into the relationships, obsessions, motivations, and emotional dynamics that can exist beneath the surface. Her newest book, A Double Life: The Anatomy of a Premeditated Murder, coming September 29, 2026 from Citadel Books, examines the shocking 2015 murder of Florida physician Teresa Sievers. What initially appeared to be a burglary gone wrong ultimately revealed a much more complicated story involving marriage, obsession, friendship, betrayal, and the intense bond between Mark Sievers and his childhood best friend. In our conversation, Brottman discusses what drew her to the Sievers case, the psychological complexities surrounding the people involved, and why the most compelling true-crime stories often go far beyond the crime itself. We also explore her approach to writing about real people and real violence, and what happens when the neat explanations we want from a murder case don't necessarily exist.

Microdramas are taking over the internet. But are they art – or products?The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband. Break Me, Princess. Married the Mafioso I Saved. These are all titles of microdramas that are taking the internet by storm. In case you haven't heard, microdramas are often campy shows with short, minute-long episodes. The first few episodes get posted to social media for free, but viewers must go to another site where they can pay to watch the whole thing. And a lot of people do. It's an industry that started in China and is already worth several billions of dollars – so Hollywood is getting in on it. Issa Rae's microdrama called Screen Time got nearly 75 million views in its first week, and now, Peacock, Fox, and Disney are producing their own. But this microdrama boom raises a few questions: who are these stories for, and what makes them so popular? And is the microdrama a new art form – or is it solely a product?Brittany is joined by Chang Che, a freelance writer who wrote about microdramas for The New Yorker, and Xochitl Gonzalez, author and contributor at The Atlantic, who wrote about them there.For more episodes on what we're watching and why, check out:People are struggling financially.

Harold Doby III grew up in Georgia with a mother who worked as a correctional officer and a father who was secretly a drug dealer — and when his father was sentenced to 19 years in prison Harold was seven years old and sports became the thing that kept everything together. He had his first child at 16, went on to play Division 1 and Division 2 college basketball, played overseas until an injury ended his career, and then fired a single shot from his licensed firearm in self defense during a bar altercation he says he was not a part of — and watched that decision produce a nearly $200,000 restitution order, 20 years of probation, and eventually a 45 year prison sentence when job loss and injuries made the restitution impossible to pay in the time the court required. _____________________________________________ #justice #selfdefense #truecrimecommunity #prisonsentence _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ksjh06pb #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

In this episode of Soul Sense, Mark Verkler and Carolyn Dunegan explore the progression of addiction—from recreational use to problematic use, dependence, and addiction. Drawing from decades of experience in chemical dependency treatment, Carolyn explains how addiction affects relationships, identity, priorities, and spiritual life.They discuss denial, comparison, isolation, secrecy, withdrawal, and why recovery requires community, humility, honesty, and bringing what is hidden “into the light.” From a Christian perspective, they explore how addiction can become a stronghold that competes with relationships, community, and allegiance to God.The episode also offers practical guidance for anyone concerned about their own substance use or the addiction of someone they love.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Introduction01:29 — The Stages of Addiction03:32 — Recreational vs. Problematic Use06:23 — Emotional & Physical Dependence08:20 — Relational Consequences10:06 — How Addiction Changes Your Social Life12:44 — When the Substance Becomes a Relationship14:01 — Addiction as an Idol16:24 — The Double Life of Addiction18:18 — Why Functioning Doesn't Mean Healthy19:12 — Denial & Comparison22:12 — The Absence of Consequences Isn't Permission23:39 — The Later Stages of Addiction26:23 — Isolation & Addiction27:43 — Understanding Withdrawal29:08 — What Early Sobriety Feels Like30:19 — Why Community Matters31:06 — Why Therapy Alone May Not Be Enough32:19 — Secrecy, Shame & Control35:00 — Coming Into the Light35:27 — 1 John 1 & Walking in the Light36:20 — Honesty, Humility & Recovery40:14 — Isolation, Pride & Being Known41:20 — The Brutality of Addiction's End Stages43:11 — The First Step Toward Recovery45:06 — Next Episode: Addiction & the Family47:23 — Humility, Grace & Freedom48:08 — ClosingFor counseling and resources: samaritanswell.comFree Guide: Christian Emotional Health Guidehttps://samaritanswell.thinkific.com/products/digital_downloads/Christian-Emotional-Health-GuideConnect with Samaritan's Well:Instagram: @samaritanswellFacebook: @samaritanswelldallasLinkedIn: Samaritan's Well CounselingTikTok: @samaritanswellcounseling#SoulSense #AddictionRecovery #ChristianCounseling #Recovery #MentalHealth #FaithAndMentalHealth

A respected Department of Defense contractor. A security clearance. A wife and children. And a secret life that finally caught up with him. This week, Chris confronts Ivan Walters, a 43-year-old government employee who drove to meet someone he believed was a 14-year-old boy for sex. But the sting uncovers far more than disturbing online chats—it reveals a man who had already been investigated for sending explicit images to a minor, undergone therapy, and still returned to the same dangerous behavior. As Walters tries to explain the unexplainable, Chris presses him on the devastating consequences of the choices he made, the family he betrayed, and the children he put at risk.  Sponsored by: Home Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/chrishansen  and use promo code HANSEN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

William Taubman, Part Two: Taubman examines McNamara's "double life" during the Vietnam War under Lyndon Johnson. While acting as the public architect of escalation, including his role in securing the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution through omitted facts, McNamara privately harbored deep doubts. By 1966, he secretly confessed to aides a desperate desire to bring troops home. His personal life was marked by a close, "opaque" friendship with Jackie Kennedy, who repeatedly begged him to "end the slaughter." Facing increasing pressure from anti-war protests and a fracturing relationship with Johnson, McNamara left the Pentagon to lead the World Bank. He redirected the bank's mission toward helping "the poorest of the poor," which Taubman characterizes as a form of "repentance" for Vietnam. In his later years, McNamara issued serial confessions regarding his mistakes, Agent Orange, and the war's devastating human cost. (2)

The Spreadsheet That Exposed Her Secret Debts and Double LifeNEW PODCAST ALERT!

How do you hide a cocaine addiction when you're the person everyone depends on?This week, we're joined by Kaitlin Reeve, the creator behind @soberasamotherfocused, for one of our most raw conversations yet. Kaitlin opens up about living a double life as a mother battling cocaine addiction, the lies she told herself, the fear of being exposed, and how quickly everything she cared about came close to falling apart.We talk about the guilt of parenting while in active addiction, the stigma that keeps so many mothers silent, and the moment she realised she had to choose between continuing down a path that was destroying her or fighting for the life she wanted.This is an unflinching conversation about addiction, shame, recovery and redemption. It's a reminder that addiction doesn't discriminate and that no matter how dark things become, there is always a way back.Sponsored by Alcohol Change UK https://alcoholchange.org.uk/.

Send us Fan MailYour life can look “fine” from the outside and still be built on a lie. Jen sits down with author KB Adamson to talk about what happens when you discover your spouse of 40 years has been cheating for most of the marriage and hiding a double life tied to strip clubs, porn, massage parlors, and prostitution. The moment of discovery is more than heartbreak. We name the nervous system crash, the rage, the humiliation, the fear of STDs, and the betrayal trauma symptoms that can feel like PTSD, including brain fog and the sense that reality no longer makes sense.We also go past the headline and into the ripple effects: adult children who feel betrayed, grandchildren who feel the tension, and the practical shock of finding out the finances are not what you thought. Kass shares what it's like to file for divorce before you feel emotionally “ready,” and why safety, truth, and stability sometimes have to come first. We talk about how people often respond poorly to betrayal, how shame keeps survivors silent, and why betrayal can feel worse than death because the person is still alive but the relationship you believed in never truly existed.Finally, we get concrete about recovery. Kass explains how a betrayal trauma therapy group and a strong therapist helped her survive, and how therapeutic writing became a daily tool to quiet rumination and reclaim her voice. We explore the idea that addiction often functions as emotional avoidance and why real repair requires remorse as deep as the betrayal. If you're navigating infidelity, divorce recovery, or rebuilding your identity after betrayal, this conversation offers clarity and a path forward.

Ana Huang spent years living a double life: international relations scholar, Georgetown grad, geopolitical consultant by day, and secret romance novelist by night. She quietly uploaded chapters to Wattpad under a pen name no one in her life knew, and kept writing even as she built a conventional career that would make her immigrant parents proud. On this episode of She Pivots, Ana shares how COVID cracked her life open, how she taught herself TikTok before BookTok was even a thing, and how she built a community of millions one chapter at a time, all while still clocking in at her day job. She talks about the moment she finally told her family the truth, why she said no to major publishers when Twisted Love blew up, and what it means to bet on yourself. Her Twisted series has now sold over 25 million copies, been translated into 34 languages, and is headed to Netflix—and her new book, King of Gluttony, is out now. You can keep up with Ana Huang on her website anahuang.com, as well as on Instagram and TikTok @authoranahuang.
