Eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells went to a boat party on Horn Island, Mississippi, over the Fourth of July. He was the only one of the group who did not return. He was the only Black member of the group. His body was found by a park ranger two days later.During the first autopsy, the state retained his throat. The trachea, hyoid bone, and laryngeal cartilage were all kept. Nineteen days later, the state has released nothing about what they found in those structures. The family's independent pathologist said that kind of retention is standard when there is concern about compression.The family's independent autopsy returned undetermined as both cause and manner of death. The pathologist said he could not rule out non-accidental factors. Seven questions from that examination remain unanswered. The official state autopsy is still pending.The DA has referred the death investigation to a grand jury. That body has subpoena power the sheriff does not. It can compel sworn testimony under penalty of perjury. The friends who were on the island have been telling their version publicly. Whether those versions survive an oath is the question this investigation is now designed to answer.Whether the public statements made by the people who were there hold up under sworn testimony is a question the grand jury is designed to answer. And the phones belonging to Nolan and every friend in that group will produce a digital trail of every message, every search, every deletion, and every gap. Digital forensics does not rely on anyone's recollection.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the throat retention, the grand jury path, what the phone data will reveal, and how long investigations like this take before producing answers.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy was intubated in a hospital bed. Her three children were dead. She could not speak. She was handed an erasable whiteboard. And the first thing she communicated was a question that both sides of this case read completely differently.Her jury is now seated. Eighteen people in Plymouth Superior Court who have to answer one question: was she criminally responsible? Both sides agree she killed her children. The only dispute is her state of mind.The prosecution frames this as calculated premeditation. She checked Apple Maps to time her husband's errand. She allegedly strangled all three children in the window she created. She jumped from a second-story window and survived.The defense frames this as medical catastrophe. Thirteen psychiatric medications prescribed in four months. Her husband told doctors she had become a zombie. One prescriber did not know what another was doing. She asked for help over and over and the system ignored her.Patrick Clancy is on both sides' witness lists. The prosecution will call him first. He sued her doctors for malpractice. He told the press he was not married to a monster. He forgave her publicly. Massachusetts places the burden on the Commonwealth to prove sanity beyond a reasonable doubt.Andrea Yates drowned five children during a postpartum psychotic episode. A Texas jury convicted her. A second jury acquitted her on retrial. If the first Yates jury got it wrong when the crime was too horrific to sit with, this jury is staring down the same question with the same impossible set of facts.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to examine the whiteboard question, what it tells the jury about consciousness of guilt versus medical shock, the Yates parallel, and whether this prosecution can clear its burden.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy has been in custody or in a hospital bed for three and a half years, and in all that time, she has never once given police a statement. She's a former labor and delivery nurse charged with three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her children, Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts home in January 2023. She's pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She was also gravely injured that night and has been paralyzed from the waist down ever since. Prosecutors have spent years reconstructing what they believe happened using medication records and search histories, building their case around a woman who has never told her own side to investigators. Between September 2022 and January 2023, she was prescribed at least nine different psychiatric medications. Her husband, Patrick, has said she seemed to be acting like a zombie. An outside hospital later determined she'd been overmedicated and misdiagnosed, and her civil lawsuit alleges that what she reported as intrusive thoughts were actually auditory hallucinations nobody thought to ask more about. A forensic psychiatrist has since diagnosed her with Bipolar Disorder I with postpartum onset. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague has argued to the judge that other mothers who experienced postpartum psychosis or depression without harming their children shouldn't be allowed to testify for the defense. Judge William Sullivan agreed and kept them off the stand. Eighteen jurors will be seated instead of the usual sixteen, a sign of how long this trial is expected to run. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list and has publicly asked people to forgive his wife. Jury selection begins July 20 in Plymouth Superior Court, where twelve of those jurors will have to reconstruct a state of mind that Lindsay Clancy herself has never described out loud. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sam Levy's first sales job involved a phone book, a rotary phone, and 200 cold calls for one yes. He was still in college when he started a telemarketing gig with no playbook, no CRM, no email. Eighteen months in, the company went public, and the telemarketing kid was sipping champagne in the boardroom. This episode reveals everything that happened between that room and the one he sits in now: head of go-to-market strategy and execution at Oracle NetSuite, running a business that's grown from $250 million to $4 billion. Sam walks Devin through how to build a career in software sales, rung by rung: how to pick your first sales job and your first boss; why hustle gets you started but cadence gets you promoted; why the top rep usually makes a rough first-time manager. He tells us when to leave a job, when to let a rep go, and what to do with the lone wolf who crushes quota but poisons the room. Plus, a prediction: 90% of the next generation of software CEOs will come out of sales and marketing, not engineering. Whether you're an operating partner, an SDR in your first seat or a CRO wondering what's next, this is the insider's guide to success. Discover more at NetSuite.ai

A Mississippi teenager who never came off an island, and a Massachusetts mother about to face a jury. Two cases. One mailbag.Nolan Wells was eighteen, a college wide receiver, out at Horn Island on the Fourth of July with friends from Ocean Springs. The island is uninhabited, roughly ten miles offshore, with no shelter and no reliable signal. The boats went home. He wasn't on one. A National Park Service ranger recovered him from the water two mornings later. Two examinations of him exist and neither has been released. Cause and manner of death are undetermined. Ben Crump is investigating for the family and the district attorney has said the case is headed to a grand jury.Lindsay Clancy, a former nurse, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan at the family's Duxbury home in January 2023. Kevin Reddington argues she was misdiagnosed, overmedicated, and psychotic. Prosecutors have countered by pointing to other mothers who got just as sick and did something else. Eighteen jurors are being seated. Patrick Clancy is on the defense witness list. She has never given police a statement.Tony Brueski works through all of it: the boat, the island, the two autopsies, the grand jury, the medication lists, the eighteen jurors, and the question of who is speaking for three children in a Plymouth County courtroom.The mail on the Wells half goes at the boat, the island, and what charges look like when nobody will say how somebody died. The Clancy half comes from mothers who had intrusive thoughts and never told a soul, and people asking whether any ending in Plymouth County could honestly be called justice.Both cases.

Eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells had just graduated from high school, signed to play college football, and spent Fourth of July weekend on Horn Island with friends. According to investigators, everyone returned to the mainland except Nolan. Two days later, his body was found on the island, launching an investigation that has drawn national attention and left his family searching for answers. As detectives worked to piece together Nolan's final hours, conflicting accounts emerged about what happened before he disappeared. A viral video shared by the Wells family's attorney has fuelled widespread speculation online, but investigators have not confirmed whether it is authentic or connected to Nolan's case. Questions also remain about Nolan's phone, the timeline of events, and what happened during his final hours. At the time of this video, authorities say they have found no evidence that a crime was committed and believe Nolan may have drowned, although the investigation remains active. Nolan's family has retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump, requested an independent autopsy, and continues to ask anyone who was on Horn Island that day to come forward with photos or videos that could help investigators. As this is an active and developing case, the information discussed in this video is based on publicly available statements from investigators, attorneys, family members, and news reports available at the time of recording. Some details remain disputed, and new information may emerge as the investigation continues. #TrueCrimeRecaps #NolanWells #HornIsland #Mississippi #Developing Learn more about your ad choices.

In 2005, her life changed drastically when she was diagnosed with transverse myelitis (TM). Within four days, she went from golfing, playing tennis, and working vigorously as the Superintendent of a local high school district to being a paraplegic (T-3 complete).Six months after her diagnosis she was back at work, using a wheelchair fulltime. Eighteen months later she decided to retire to have enough energy to enjoy her family (four children and 13 grandchildren) and to rebuild an active lifestyle. She competed in wheelchair tennis and then pursued table tennis with her eyes on the Paralympics. Currently she is training to compete in the 2028 LA Paralympics in wheelchair table tennis, saying, “My quest is to be the oldest Paralympian in history.

Part 9, the final one with Geordie Lillis from Creators of Awesome, and it's the guest questions round. Four days deep into podcasting and Geordie's cooked, but he still delivers. He doesn't want anyone's autograph because he walks away from every shoot with a video of that person instead, which he reckons is worth more. No idols either, just running his own race, and the novelty of rubbing shoulders with Chris Hemsworth and Max Verstappen wears off quicker than you'd think. His biggest fuck-up is a good one. Eighteen hour shoot on the back of fourteen straight days, back at the accommodation copying two terabytes off twelve cards, so cooked he hit Control X instead of Control C and wiped half a card of factory footage they only had one day of access to. Call it thirty to a hundred grand, gone in a silent keystroke. Plus the Tag Heuer after-party at the Melbourne Grand Prix in a $30 million house that looks completely normal from the street until the entire front yard lifts up on hydraulics and you drive down a spiral ramp into a Tony Stark supercar lair with Peking Duk playing. And the reason the Prince of Johor has a collection of white albino alligators, which is that you can't legally export alligators from the States, but apparently an albino one doesn't count as an alligator.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 16, 2026. We open with a story that should trigger Logan Act investigations — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch has revealed that New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani attempted to arrange a secret meeting with the Iranian government while the United States is actively engaged in military operations against Iran. We walk through the constitutional principle at stake: the United States speaks with one voice in foreign affairs, that voice belongs to the federal government, and a city mayor has no more authority to conduct foreign policy than he has to declare war. We also connect it to a pattern — from Obama's hot mic moment with Medvedev to John Kerry's shadow diplomacy during Trump's first term — of people who want the power of the presidency without the accountability of holding it. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the U.S. launched strikes against Iran for the sixth consecutive day — targeting air defenses, rocket and drone facilities, and ports, with reports of 35 killed and 300 wounded in Iran, and a blockade-running ship disabled after repeated warnings. Then President Trump fired a newly appointed federal prosecutor in Seattle less than an hour into his first day on the job — a position filled by federal judges after Democrat Senate obstruction left the slot unconfirmed for more than 120 days. And a former Marine and congressional candidate in Florida was arrested for posting videos to social media calling for the murder of President Trump, describing him as the Antichrist, and advising what weapons and shooting patterns should be used — the latest of more than 20 documented assassination plots against the president, by far the most in American history. We also cover the Trump administration restoring the public charge rule — requiring that applicants for lawful permanent residence demonstrate they can support themselves without depending on government assistance. We explain why this was standard immigration practice throughout most of American history, why it is the policy of virtually every developed nation on earth, and why the most compassionate thing you can say to someone who wants to become an American is that we believe you can make it here on your own. Our American Mama Teri Netterville responds to a podcast host who said she doesn't trust any mother who wants to be with her children all day — and that homeschooling is weird. Teri's answer is simple and devastating: children are not a burden. They are a reward from God, an inheritance, arrows that parents are called to form and launch into the world for impact. The proof showed up at a stoplight on the way to the studio — Psalm 127, in a bumper sticker, on a car Teri had never seen before, minutes before a segment she didn't know she'd be having. She calls it a God thing. We do too. We dig deep into Senator Elissa Slotkin's remarks at a Michigan town hall — where she explained her opposition to the SAVE Act by saying it would make it impossible for any Democrat to win any election anywhere. We play the clip. We let her words sit. And we point out that if requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is what makes Democrats lose elections, Senator Slotkin has just told you everything you need to know about who has been voting in Democratic primaries. The SAVE Act doesn't prevent anyone who is legally entitled to vote from voting. It just makes sure people who aren't legally entitled to vote don't get to cancel out the votes of those who are. We also cover Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego and reports that he had relationships with multiple congressional staffers before his marriage — and use it to return to the core principle that power causes brain damage. The part of the brain that processes empathy is measurably suppressed in people who accumulate power and believe they deserve it. The only people largely immune to this effect are those who genuinely believe they don't deserve the power they have. Public office is a public trust — and the people underneath you in that office are not perks of the position. We also cover a White House teleprompter technician who allegedly fed Trump's speech content into prediction markets before the speeches were delivered — trading on insider access to profit from words she was trusted to keep confidential. Every position of trust comes with an obligation of restraint. Some people just haven't figured that out yet. For our Bright Spot, the New York Times ran a piece headlined Mom, Dad, I Want to Be a Welder — following young Americans in their twenties who had the grades for college, chose trade school instead, and are thriving. Trade school enrollment is up nearly 20% since 2020. Starting salaries for skilled tradespeople now beat many college-educated entry-level positions. And a 23-year-old welder from Arkansas named LaDonna Glass said it best — she felt like if she didn't go to college she would be a failure. She isn't. We close with Earl Nightingale's definition of success — the progressive realization of a worthy goal — and note that success begins the moment you commit to something worthy of your time, your talents, and your character. And we close with a 2007 photograph taken at a Barcelona charity raffle — a baby boy named Lamin Yamal posing with a young Argentine footballer named Lionel Messi. Eighteen years later, Lamin Yamal is on the Spanish World Cup team and Messi is considered the greatest of all time — and the two people in that photo are about to face each other in the World Cup final.

If you've been handed a diagnosis and quietly accepted it as your future, this is a different way to understand how the body actually heals. For seven years, Celinne chased cystic acne across dermatologists, elimination diets, and every remedy she could find. Never knowing the real driver was undiagnosed tick-borne illness. When the diagnosis finally came (Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia), she'd already been told what most people are told: this takes years to heal, if you heal at all. Eighteen months later, her labs came back with no trace of it — a result her former client and doctor, naturopathic physician and tick-borne specialist Dr. Carrie Chojnowski, says she'd never seen. What changed the biology wasn't the medicine alone. She treated the illness as a teacher and cleared the story underneath the symptoms while the science did its work. In this conversation, Celinne and Dr. Carrie open the full case — how tick-borne illness hides and gets missed. Why a diagnosis was never meant to be a prognosis, and how changing the energetic blueprint of a story can reorganize what shows up in the body. You'll hear what becomes possible when you stop handing your future to a diagnosis and start listening to what your body is actually saying. Healing Lyme Disease.

The Backwoods Cryptid Road Trip pulls into Maine, and this stop needs two maps, one for the water and one for the woods. We start on the granite edge of Casco Bay, where lobstermen, ferry crews, and one very unlucky kayaker have reported something long, dark, and fast moving through cold Atlantic water.They call her Cassie, the Casco Bay Sea Serpent, and her paper trail runs deeper than you'd think. We trace New England's sea serpent tradition from John Josselyn's sixteen thirty-nine account at Cape Ann through young Edward Preble chasing a serpent by rowboat in Penobscot Bay during the Revolution, into the famous Gloucester sightings of eighteen seventeen, when the Linnaean Society of New England took sworn depositions from dozens of witnesses and then torched its own credibility with a deformed blacksnake.From there it's old Maine newspaper accounts, Danish dragger captain Ole Mikkelsen's nineteen fifty-eight sighting off Cape Elizabeth, and a run of modern encounters from working boats, including a three-boat sighting on a flat calm August morning that nobody involved ever wanted to talk about again. Then we leave the coast and drive inland, because Maine is the most forested state in the country and the North Woods have their own resident.We dig into Wabanaki traditions of forest giants, the Durham gorilla flap of nineteen seventy-three, and Sasquatch encounters from Aroostook County deer swamps, the Hundred-Mile Wilderness, a log landing north of Jackman, and a frozen pond in the Moosehead country where the snow kept a record two brothers wish it hadn't.As always, the ordinary explanations get first crack, basking sharks and moose and the pattern-hungry human eye, and as always, there's a residue they can't quite eat. The ocean hides one monster and seventeen million acres of trees hide the other, and Maine never asks either of them for proof.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest.

What happens when you realize the career you trained for, spent years and real money on, was only ever showing you one narrow path out of a hundred? This week I'm talking with Katie Dodd, a Registered Dietitian who stumbled into entrepreneurship by sitting next to the right person on a plane. That one conversation led to a contract, a contract led to freelance work, and freelance work eventually became three brands and a stack of income streams that pay her whether she's working or not.  We get into what a side hustle actually is, why it doesn't have to be a bridge out of your job, and the difference between active and passive income that most people misunderstand. Katie also walks through how she built all of it one thing at a time, refusing to start the next brand until the first one hit a real revenue goal. She's honest about the part that doesn't sell well: it took eighteen months of building before the money got good, with about $67 in the first six months.  If you've ever felt boxed in by your credentials, or you're holding an idea you keep deciding is too out there, this conversation will widen what feels possible. Timeline Highlights [04:22] – How Katie fell into side hustling by sitting next to a dietitian on a plane [04:57] – Realizing she'd been an entrepreneur all along without the label [12:37] – What a side hustle actually is, and why it doesn't have to be a bridge out [16:36] – The lake analogy: why multiple income streams create real security [18:16] – Active versus passive income, and why passive isn't free money [20:34] – Three brands, and the discipline of building one at a time [27:03] – Why she built traffic first, before any products existed [32:35] – Letting go of the identity that says you have to do direct client work [44:31] – How long it actually took to monetize, and the $67 first six months [48:34] – Why mindset and the right rooms matter more than any single tactic Top Quotes from the Episode "Imagine a lake fed by only one stream. If that stream dries up, the lake runs dry. Multiple streams mean it keeps going." "Passive income isn't free money. You create something once, build the systems to drive people to it, and then it works while you're not showing up every day." "If something pops into my head, I get it out of my head and onto paper, so I can really focus on what matters." "I had to let go of the identity that to be a healthcare provider, I have to be giving direct care to people."

Eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells went to Horn Island, Mississippi, for the Fourth of July with a group of friends. He never made it home. He was last seen talking to a girl on the north end of the island around three in the afternoon. His friends' boat left the island an hour and a half later — without him. The explanation on record is that the boat was taking on water, which is the detail that keeps getting picked apart online and in this episode. Boats near shore, on a holiday weekend, with patrols on the water and life jackets required — leaving someone behind for that reason is not the obvious call it's being presented as. Two days later, following a search by the Coast Guard, the National Park Service, and Jackson County authorities, a park ranger found Nolan's body almost exactly where he'd last been seen. Reports say alcohol and drugs have been ruled out. His friend group has remained close to his mother throughout. And there's one more detail that matters — Nolan left his phone with her before he ever set foot on that island, which says plenty about the kind of son he was. His family has since hired a civil rights attorney, and the questions haven't stopped: about the boat, about who made the call to leave, about whether the story investigators have on record actually adds up. We lay out the full timeline and the pieces still missing from it. New episode is up now — link below. Social Links & Legal Footer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Christa Pike carried a piece of Colleen Slemmer's skull back to the Job Corps dorm as a souvenir, and on September 30th, 2026, Tennessee is scheduled to execute her for the murder that produced it.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/christa-pikeMusic by Shadows Symphony.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: July 09, 2026Weird Darkness host Darren Marlar traces the 1995 Job Corps murder of Colleen Slemmer, the jealousy and Satanism behind it, and the three decades of appeals, prison violence, and stalled executions that have brought Christa Pike to a September 2026 death date in Tennessee.It opens on the morning of January 13th, 1995, when a groundskeeper at the University of Tennessee Agricultural Institute outside Knoxville found a body so badly beaten he mistook it for an animal carcass — nineteen-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a Florida girl who loved computers and had taken a bus to Knoxville on Halloween of 1994 for a six-month course at the Knoxville Job Corps Center. The night before, four students had signed out together, and only three signed back in. Eighteen-year-old Christa Gail Pike, her seventeen-year-old boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, and eighteen-year-old Shadolla Peterson had lured Slemmer to a wooded stretch near an abandoned steam plant with the promise of marijuana in Tyson Park, and over roughly half an hour Pike and Shipp beat and cut her while Peterson held a flashlight. Pike carved a pentagram into Slemmer's chest while she was alive, cut her throat six times with a box cutter after pausing to check that no one was watching, threw asphalt at her head, and afterward pried loose a fragment of her skull to keep. Pike had come to believe Slemmer wanted Shipp, a jealousy Slemmer denied, and she and Shipp had bonded over Satanism and the occult; Pike wore a small devil tattoo on her chest, and searches later turned up satanic altars and occult literature in both their rooms.From there the episode follows what Pike did with the bone. She returned to campus around 11 p.m., went to her friend Kim Iloilo's room dancing and singing, and produced the skull fragment as a souvenir, warning Iloilo she would be killed too if she talked. Pike carried the piece in a napkin in her leather jacket, bragged at breakfast that she was eating with it, and showed it around class along with the blood still on her shoes and clothing — behavior that turned investigator Randy York toward her within forty-eight hours. Pike confessed in a forty-six-page recorded statement, and York described her as giddy, acting out how Slemmer had begged for her life. The episode also lays out the childhood documented in her later post-conviction filings: parents who struggled with alcohol, sexual and physical abuse by multiple people, a mother's suicide attempt she witnessed, and neurological evaluations finding structural brain abnormalities alongside later diagnoses of bipolar disorder and PTSD, none of which the jury ever heard.Next comes the trial and the long aftermath. In March 1996, before Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz in Knox County Criminal Court, Pike was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy, and on March 30th, weeks after her twentieth birthday, sentenced to death by electrocution, making her the youngest woman on death row in the modern era. Within hours she wrote Shipp an unrepentant letter framing the killing as a kindness because she had ended it quickly. Shipp, ineligible for death because he was seventeen, drew a life sentence and was denied parole in October 2025; Peterson received six years of probation. In 2001 Pike choked fellow inmate Patricia Jones with a shoestring until officers revived her, earning another twenty-five years, and around 2011 a New Jersey personal trainer named Donald Kohut and a correctional officer named Justin Heflin were caught in a plot to trace and duplicate a prison key to free her. Her appeals failed through the federal courts, an execution set for August 27th, 2020 was postponed by COVID-19, and on September 30th, 2025 the Tennessee Supreme Court reset her death for September 30th, 2026.The episode closes on what remains unresolved as that date approaches. Tennessee's 2026 execution schedule has already faltered — Governor Bill Lee granted Tony Carruthers a last-minute reprieve on May 21st after medical staff couldn't establish a backup IV line, media witnesses reported signs of pain in the 2025 executions of Byron Black and Harold Nichols, and Senate Republicans led by Tom Hatcher have asked Lee to pause executions pending review. Pike has filed suit over the pentobarbital protocol, arguing it excludes her Buddhist spiritual advisor and risks a torturous death, while advocates gather signatures asking Lee to commute her sentence over her age, abuse, and mental illness. If carried out, she would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than two hundred years. The last piece belongs to Slemmer's mother, Mae Martinez, who for more than twenty years has asked the state to return the skull fragment still held in evidence so she can bury her daughter whole — a nineteen-year-old who liked bowling and shrimping on the river back home in Florida and had gone to Tennessee to build a life around computers.

We explore Argentina this week with Dan! First, a police officer investigating strange lights on a lonely dirt road who suddenly vanishes without a trace. Eighteen hours later he was found miles away, injured, confused, and claiming that something with glowing red eyes had taken control of his mind. Then, for years before his death, legendary Argentinian musician Luca Prodan nsisted his old San Telmo home was haunted by the sounds of dragging chains, distant screams, and unseen presences lurking in the darkness. Everyone assumed the troubled rock star was imagining things—until years after his death, something was discovered that changed the way many viewed his claims. Next up, did a joke actually summon a helpful ghost, accidentally? Then, we revisit a legend heard here before that popped up under a similar but different name. Are these hatchet killer ghosts connected? Finally, someone or something is in the crawl space. Enough said.  LAST EVER Wet Hot Bad Magic Summer Camp 2026: Have you heard?!

Day 1,588.After Russia unleashes one of its deadliest attacks on Kyiv in recent weeks, killing at least 20 people and injuring dozens more, Dom reports on a city that knew the assault was coming hours in advance. He then examines a major new report alleging that Russia's shadow fleet has been used not only to evade sanctions, but potentially to launch drones targeting military bases and civilian airports across Europe, raising profound new questions about the Kremlin's hybrid war against the West.

I'm recording this from my first morning LIVING in Lisbon, Portugal, sitting in The Magic House with a cup of coffee, my family finally here, and this feeling I can only describe as the specific joy of having done the hard thing.Eighteen months ago I had an idea to move my family to a country I had never been to. No plan. Just a decision. And this morning that decision is my reality.In this episode I'm sharing what that journey taught me — and exactly how it applies to changing your relationship with alcohol.Because here's what I know after eight years of doing this work: the women who stay stuck aren't lacking information. They aren't lacking willpower. They're waiting to know how before they decide. And that's backwards. The plan doesn't come before the decision. The plan comes FROM the decision. We cover:Why waiting to feel ready keeps you stuck — and what to do insteadThe one question that cuts through every excuse: if you knew it would work, would you do it?What real change actually looks like from the inside — and why the mess doesn't mean you're failingThe grief nobody talks about when you change your relationship with alcoholAnd what deciding, actually looks like.THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF: You've been thinking about changing your drinking for months or years and you still haven't fully committed You keep waiting until you feel ready, until things calm down, until after the next event You know what you want but you don't believe you can actually get there You've tried before and it didn't stick and you're not sure this time would be different You want permission to start before you have it all figured out ABOUT ANGELA: Angela Mascenik is a certified stop over-drinking coach for women and the host of the Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living podcast.

She'd never raced a track meet before her junior year. Eighteen months later, she was standing among the fastest high school middle-distance runners in America.The Ursuline School graduate and future UNC Tar Heel didn't grow up in the sport. Her athletic foundation came through swimming, gymnastics, and years of soccer, where speed was always her greatest weapon. When she finally gave track a chance during the winter of her junior year, she entered a world that was completely unfamiliar. One built on patience, accountability, and quiet confidence.Her breakthrough came quickly. In her first outdoor season, Hickey captured both the New York State and Federation 800-meter titles before running 2:03.61 to finish fourth at New Balance Outdoor Nationals. The performance broke the Ursuline school record and moved her to No. 3 all-time in New York State history. She carried that momentum indoors, clocking 1:28.68 for 600 meters at the Molloy Stanner Games before lowering it to 1:27.14 at the New York State Championships. Winning by nearly four seconds, she became the fourth-fastest U.S. high school girl ever in the event.But the numbers only tell part of the story.In this episode, Jane reflects on what it felt like walking into her very first track practice after years in soccer, learning to race athletes who had spent their entire lives in the sport, and slowly replacing imposter syndrome with belief. We talk about the workouts that shaped her, why she thrives in the 400 and 800 meters, the surprising culture of track compared to soccer, and how choosing joy over pressure allowed her to improve faster than she ever imagined.As recruiting accelerated and expectations grew, Jane never lost sight of what made running meaningful in the first place. She shares why she chose North Carolina, how she balances elite athletics with academics, and why authenticity, strong relationships, and enjoying the process matter far more than chasing the next result.If you enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout, please follow the show on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Leaving a five-star review and sharing the podcast with a friend is one of the best ways to help us continue telling the stories behind the sport.

Eighteen weeks ago Adam handed his decade-old ORM layer to an AI agent. This week he kills the whole refactor — and the feeling that comes isn't regret, it's relief. Somewhere in the grind he realized he'd only ever weighed two options, push through or admit defeat, and both assumed he had to see it to the end. This week is about sunk cost — how being partway down a road can convince you that you owe it the rest of the way, and how freeing it is to decide you don't.Follow the show and be sure to join the discussion on Discord!

This week is a different kind of Purple Political Breakdown: a solo, chat-driven deep dive on one question. Do you support packing the Supreme Court? Before you answer, Radell Lewis walks the entire board, because the honest version of this debate starts earlier than most coverage admits. You do not need new seats to pack a court if you control who fills the seats you already have. In 2016, Justice Scalia dies and Mitch McConnell blocks Merrick Garland for nearly a year on a "let the voters decide" standard he branded the "Biden rule." In 2020, weeks before the election, he reverses himself and confirms Amy Coney Barrett after tens of millions of Americans have already voted. The frame other coverage skips: the Garland blockade and the Barrett rush were already a form of packing the existing nine through procedure. From there, the history that undercuts the idea that nine is sacred. The number is not in the Constitution. Article III leaves it to Congress, which has changed it seven times, from six justices in 1789, to Lincoln adding a tenth seat in 1863, to the nine we have settled on since 1869. Then the cautionary tale: FDR's 1937 plan to add up to six justices died 70 to 20 in his own Democratic Senate, even as the Court quietly started upholding the New Deal anyway. Then the mechanics. Expansion is an ordinary statute, but it runs straight into the filibuster, which means ending the filibuster first. The Judiciary Act would take the Court from nine to thirteen, one justice per appeals circuit, though the strongest advocates argue less from circuit math and more from a bench they call rigged. We break down Brian Tyler Cohen's pitch to Gavin Newsom, and why messaging that makes people lose faith in the institution itself can backfire. Here is why Radell would start somewhere else: term limits and an enforceable ethics code. Eighteen-year staggered terms with a senior status off-ramp that may be achievable by statute, supported across the aisle by Federalist Society co-founder Steven Calabresi and liberal scholar Akhil Amar, echoed in John Roberts's own early writing, with 49 of 50 states already limiting their high-court judges and bipartisan polling supermajorities (PRRI: 85 percent of Democrats, 76 percent of independents, 67 percent of Republicans; Marquette: 73 percent of Republicans). On ethics, we cover Senator Whitehouse's SCERT Act, the Court's toothless 2023 self-written code, and the Fix the Court finding that Justice Clarence Thomas reported gifts valued near 4.2 million dollars over two decades, far more than the rest of the bench combined. Radell is careful throughout to separate what is documented from what cannot be proven. The bottom line: if the goal is a Court the public trusts again rather than one your side controls for a single cycle, term limits and ethics come first. Court packing can follow, but only with airtight, bipartisan messaging and the number locked into the Constitution so the country does not spend the next decade adding and subtracting justices. Steel-manned, receipts on the table, live chat the whole way, and an honest landing spot at the end.

Atlanta interior design powerhouse Justin Q.

Some shows ease into the day with motivational quotes and mindfulness.Yeah... that's not us.Today's comedy podcast kicks off in Wales, where one determined 19-year-old somehow turned repeatedly pooping in a community swimming pool into what can only be described as a full-time hobby. Eighteen incidents. One very confused charity. Hundreds of traumatized swimmers. Zero dignity.Naturally, that leads us into one of life's biggest questions: How many times can someone ruin a public pool before everyone collectively says, "Maybe we should check the security cameras?"From there the chaos only escalates.The crew dives into the surprising rise of "gray divorce" and why more couples over 50 are deciding they're simply too old to spend another decade arguing about gardening, retirement, or whose turn it is to load the dishwasher. It somehow becomes both hilarious and weirdly heartfelt as everyone talks relationships, marriage, growing older, and why putting in the work actually matters.Then AI enters the chat...Would you let ChatGPT write your dating profile? Should artificial intelligence help flirt for you? Is it okay to use AI as your dating wingman... or does that just mean two robots are dating each other while the humans watch from the sidelines?Things get even stranger when the crew discusses experiments involving AI agents running their own digital societies, complete with crime, intimidation, self-destruction, and enough sci-fi nightmare fuel to make everyone slightly uncomfortable.The gang revisits the viral story of the man with one of the world's smallest medically documented penises who is crowdfunding enlargement surgery. That opens the floodgates for an unexpectedly educational (and completely ridiculous) discussion about cosmetic enhancement procedures, medical facts, body image, surgical risks, internet scams, and perhaps the greatest hypothetical debate in Rizz Show history:Would you sacrifice a finger to gain an extra inch?None of them should probably be used as actual medical advice.It's another perfectly normal morning filled with questionable hypotheticals, sarcastic commentary, uncomfortable scientific facts, relationship talk, weird international news, and the kind of conversations that make you wonder how this group has managed to stay on the air.If you're looking for your next comedy podcast, you've found it. Whether you're here for bizarre news, celebrity nonsense, relationship debates, or absolutely unhinged conversations that somehow stay educational, Episode 102 delivers exactly the brand of organized chaos you've come to expect from The Rizzuto Show.Thanks for hanging out with us—and remember: if someone says "the pool's closed," maybe don't ask why.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover Steven Pladl! In 1998, Steven and his wife put their infant daughter up for adoption, and a family in New York raised her as Katie Fusco. Eighteen years later, after she turned 18, Katie reached out to her biological parents and moved in with them. Within months Steven left his wife, and what developed between him and Katie is the reason this case exists. They married in 2017, lying on the paperwork about being related. They had a son. They were arrested for incest in early 2018 once it all came to light. Tonight we get into how it happened, the abuse in Steven's past, and the bond decision that left him on the street.

We're back, we're sweaty, and one of us might be a baby. We open this week with a pressing issue — AI will not stop using em dashes and we need to talk about it. From there we're sweating through the UK heatwave, losing our minds over the GTA 6 no-disc price tag situation, and piling onto the Steam Machine comeback which arrived with big promises and bigger price tags. We ask: what if you woke up tomorrow with your full adult brain but the body of a baby? We go through the full pros and cons. There are upsides. Not many. And we close out with a man who was caught defecating in a public swimming pool. Eighteen times. Same pool. We have thoughts.

When 33-year-old Eleonora “Lina” Kaufman was found unresponsive with marks across her neck on her bathroom floor in Aventura, Florida, her sudden death shocked her community. Her husband, Adam Kaufman, claimed it was a tragic medical emergency. But as investigators secured the home, the physical evidence—from an engine block inexplicably radiating heat in the garage to unwrinkled pillows on the bed—just didn't add up.Eighteen months later, the medical examiner ruled Lina's death a homicide by mechanical asphyxiation, leading to Adam's arrest. What followed was a sensational legal battle pitting top forensic experts against one another over compromised DNA evidence, cryptic jailhouse phone calls, and a jury forced to choose between a cold-blooded murder and a tragic medical anomaly.Today's snack: Oreo BTS Brown Sugar Pancake flavor and Stuf of Doom flavorSupport us on PatreonSources:Trial Florida v.

Luke 13:10-13: “On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, ‘Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.’ Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.” Ya’ll this woman had been crippled for 18 years and with the touch of Jesus, she was immediately healed. WooooHoooo, that’s my Jesus right there. Boom! Now where is our focus on this story? The miracle right? We focus on the miracle. But I want you to focus on something else. I'll read the scripture again, let's not focus on the miracle, let's focus on what LED to the miracle. If you need a miracle in your life, learn from this woman’s miracle and see exactly what brought her to it. “On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.” The miracle did not begin when Jesus touched her. The miracle story began when she got out of bed that morning and made her way to the synagogue. Before there was a healing, there was a decision. Before there was a breakthrough, there was obedience. Before there was a miracle, there was a woman who showed up. Here's what we've been missing in this miraculous story of healing. This poor, crippled, bent over woman, GOT UP AND WENT that day. She showed up. In order for her to be at the synagogue where Jesus was teaching, she first had to get up and go there. The miracle didn’t begin with healing; it began with showing up. Notice something remarkable. The woman did not come to the synagogue because she knew she would be healed that day. She came because that’s where God was being worshiped. She showed up without a promise of a miracle. She showed up without evidence that today would be different. She showed up because faithfulness does what it knows to do even when feelings say otherwise. I bet she didn't feel like getting up that day. I bet she was aching and hurting. I bet she was even embarrassed by her condition. BUT SHE GOT UP ANY WAY. That's exactly what we need to do. We can't sit around doing nothing. You have a responsibility in your story. Your responsibility is to get up and position yourself. Do what you can with what you have right now. Stop focusing on what you can’t do, and girl, do what you can do. This woman got up and went even when she didn't feel like it. Even when it was HARD FOR HER. Even when it had been hard for her for 18 years! Eighteen years is a long time. Eighteen years of disappointment. Eighteen years of pain. Eighteen years of waking up with the same problem. Yet somehow she refused to let a long season become a permanent mindset. Her condition lasted eighteen years, but she refused to let hopelessness last eighteen years too. Ahhhhh, sister will you bring your 18 year struggle to an encounter with Jesus? Or will you give up thinking your miracle will never come? Have you bought into the lie that it will always be this way? One encounter with Jesus could radically change your life but you must position yourself for the encounter. Jesus performs the miracle, but the woman positioned herself for an encounter. There are some things only God can do. Healing is God’s job. Deliverance is God’s job. Miracles are God’s job. But positioning ourselves for an encounter with Him is our job. We cannot create a miracle, but we can create the opportunity to meet with the Miracle Worker. But may I take you even deeper? Can I take you deeper this morning? There's one more thing we may be missing in this story. How did this crippled woman make herself get up and go even when she didn't feel like it? How do you make yourself do what you know you need to do when you plain ol’ don’t feel like it? What you don’t see in this story is what made this woman get up and show up for her encounter with Jesus was she had been THINKING. Yes, she had been thinking. Her thoughts didn’t heal her. Jesus healed her. But her thoughts influenced her actions. Her actions placed her where Jesus was. And there, in the presence of Jesus, everything changed. WHAT YOU THINK DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Your thoughts are the seeds, your actions put those seeds in the ground, and your results are the harvest. You get a harvest because you grew some plants and those plants first began as seed. Your results today are because of your actions. Your actions first began as thoughts. Your thoughts today will grow something … will you be pleased with that harvest? What if this woman would have THOUGHT she was too sick or tired to go see Jesus that day? Ahhh, she would have missed her miracle. I wonder how many times she had been to this place before? How many times had she gone bent over, then walked back home bent over? How many times had she struggled though her day and came to the end of the day no better, with no change? Likely a lot. Likely 18 years. If she would have been thinking “well, what’s the point of even going there today, it’s never done anything for me” what would have happened? NOTHING would have happened because she wouldn’t have even been in the position to encounter Jesus. Does it feel like nothing is happening in your life? Nothing has ever changed and therefore nothing will ever change? That must have been how this woman felt too. But she had been thinking. She had been thinking, “I'm gonna get up and go even if I don't feel like it. I'm gonna see what I can do. I'm gonna go even if people look at me. I'm gonna walk in there all crippled like even if people talk about me. I'm gonna get myself there. I'm gonna get up.” The woman could not straighten herself up, but she could get herself there. And it was her THINKING that led to her ACTION. It was her ACTION that led to her ENCOUNTER. It was her encounter that led to her MIRACLE. We all want the miracle. God please save my marriage. God please change my child. God please heal my body. God please bring that job. God please just hand deliver it all to me as I sit right here on my couch because I really don't feel like getting up. God, you’re gonna have to bring it to me because I gave up on showing up. What good place have you stopped going to? What prayer have you stopped praying? What act of obedience have you postponed because eighteen years feels too long? The woman could not heal herself. But she could get up. She could take a step. She could show up. And that was enough for Jesus to meet her there. Maybe your next miracle isn’t waiting on God’s ability … Maybe it’s waiting on your willingness to get up and go. Woman, STRAIGHTEN UP. You can't get the miracle without the encounter. You can't get the encounter without the action. And you'll never take the action without first THINKING. What are you thinking today? Do your thoughts align with your doubts or your faith? Are you focused on what you CAN do or what you can’t do? Straighten up. You've felt sorry for yourself too long. You've been letting people run over you too long. You've been wallowing in this too long. You've been worried about this too long. Straighten up. In the words of Jesus, “woman you are set free.” Start thinking like it. Start talking like it. Start acting like it. Your thoughts lead to an action. Your action leads to an encounter. And that encounter brings you to your miracle.

Series: Looking For A True King Spiritual Autoimmunity 1 Samuel 19Pastor Jonah Wilson

When Tina Roth Eisenberg moved to New York in 1999 as a new designer, she kept asking herself the same question: where are my people? Eighteen years ago, she answered it by starting Creative Mornings—a free breakfast lecture series that has since grown into what she describes as the world's largest face-to-face creative community: 252 cities, 70 countries, and more than a thousand volunteers gathering with around 25,000 people every month. Or, as she puts it, “church for creativity.” Visit our Susbtack for bonus content and more: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/tina-roth-eisenberg-creative-mornings But Creative Mornings is just one thread in Tina's story. She's the voice behind Swiss Miss, the beloved design blog she's kept up for 21 years; the founder of FRIENDS, a creative coworking community in Brooklyn; and the creator of Tattly, the designer temporary tattoo company that started as a joke and turned into a business. In our conversation, Tina shares what she's learned about building communities that scale on trust rather than control, why she measures success in “return on friendship,” and how playful side projects increase “the surface area for luck to find you.” We also talk about commitment as a creative practice, raising creative kids, and why she believes the future isn't lonely—it's hyperlocal. Bio Tina Roth Eisenberg is a Swiss-born, Brooklyn-based designer and serial founder—though many know her simply as "swissmiss," after the design blog she started in 2005 as a personal visual archive, which grew into a popular design journal drawing an average of a million unique visitors a month. Raised in Speicher, Switzerland, and shaped by Swiss design (and, as she puts it, a lot of fresh mountain air), she completed her design studies in Geneva and Munich before moving to New York in 1999. She is the founder of CreativeMornings, the world's largest face-to-face creative community, with monthly talks in 252 cities across 70 countries; the founder of Tattly, the designy temporary tattoo company; co-creator of the to-do app TeuxDeux; and founder of FRIENDS, a creative coworking space in Brooklyn. She lives in beautiful Fort Greene, Brooklyn, with her two children, Ella and Tilo, who teach her about current memes and TikTok.

Welcome to episode 250 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we will examine the topic of the unlikely hero — how God uses the unqualified to accomplish the impossible.  Key takeaways:    God's discipline has purpose and His anger has limits. Eighteen years of oppression ended the moment Israel cried out. He disciplines to restore, not destroy. Ehud was a left-handed man from the tribe of Benjamin — the tribe whose name means “son of the right hand.” God's choice of deliverer was deliberate divine irony. What you consider your disqualifying characteristic may be exactly what God intends to use. Left-handedness was a battlefield liability that became Ehud's tactical advantage. Godly boldness is not recklessness — it is calculated courage rooted in careful preparation. Ehud made a plan, chose his moment, and acted with precision. Bold obedience and wise planning are partners, not opposites. God's deliverance often comes through means we would never have chosen. He works through the weak and unexpected precisely so no one can claim human credit. One act of strategic obedience can produce lasting fruit. Ehud's mission resulted in 80 years of peace — the longest rest in the entire book of Judges. God doesn't need cookie-cutter servants. He specializes in using the unexpected to accomplish the impossible — and He has been doing it since the beginning.  Quotable:    Stop apologizing for what makes you different. What you call a disqualification, God may be calling a qualification. He doesn't choose the most likely — He chooses the willing, then uses their weakness to put His power on display.  Application:    Stop disqualifying yourself. Make a list of the limitations, failures, or differences you believe make you unusable to God. Then hold that list against Ehud — a man from the wrong tribe who couldn't use the right hand. If God could use him to deliver a nation, your list is not the final word.  Prepare before you act. When God calls you to difficult obedience — a hard conversation, a major decision, a step of faith — don't mistake urgency for recklessness. Pray for wisdom, make a plan, count the cost, then move. Ehud's courage was inseparable from his preparation.  Stay open to unconventional answers. The solution to your impossible situation may not look the way you expect. Don't limit God to conventional methods. The provision, the breakthrough, or the open door may come from a direction you never anticipated. Keep your eyes open for what He might be doing sideways.  Act when God gives you the moment. Ehud waited for the right time, then moved without hesitation. There are moments God puts in front of us — a conversation, an opportunity, an open door — that require immediate response. Preparation without action is just planning. When the moment comes, step through it.  Connect with us:    Web site:  https://springbaptist.org  Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/SBCKleinCampus (Klein Campus) https://www.facebook.com/SpringBaptist (Spring Campus)  Need us to pray for you?

This week's Money Diary feels a little bit like proof that where you start doesn't have to determine where you end up. She grew up in a tiny village in Eastern Europe in the aftermath of communism, where family holidays weren't a thing, money was scarce, and the future often looked a lot like the past. But even as a kid, she couldn't stop wondering what was on the other side of the horizon. At 16, she won a scholarship that changed everything. A few years later, she arrived in Australia with just $20 to her name, planning to stay for 12 months before heading back to university in the UK. Instead, she met the man who would become her husband after he quite literally washed up next to her on a beach. Eighteen years later, they're raising two children on the Gold Coast, have turned a modest beach shack into a property worth around $1.7 million, and she's built a dog-sitting side hustle that's on track to bring in $40,000 this year alongside her part-time career. But what I loved most about this conversation wasn't the property story or even the side hustle. It was the way she thinks about money. From collecting bottles to teach her kids about saving, to creating flexibility around family life, to constantly finding creative ways to make money work harder, she's built a life that looks completely different to the one she grew up expecting.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.3) This year marks 30 years that Tim Conway Jr. has been on the radio! The one piece of advice he has for longevity? Make sure the high-speed police chase doesn’t start until after 6 p.m. — because apparently, we’re all 90 now and need to catch it during the early bird special. Timmy also got a little emotional last night watching Spencer Pratt doing surprisingly well in the mayoral primary. Atta boy, Spencer! Ballots are still being counted, printed in 18 different languages — EIGHTEEN! — with sniffer dogs on patrol looking for any funny business. Yesterday we had another hostage situation in Bakersfield. Is “Bakersfield” Spanish for hostage situation? Great place to raise kids, by the way. The guy had fake bombs strapped to his chest… because of course he did. And in health news, new research says GLP-1 drugs might cut breast cancer risk by about 30%. What’s going on there? Also, are we still allowed to say the word “obese,” or is that canceled too?

The federal trial in the Anna Kepner case was scheduled for June 1. Eighteen days before jury selection, the defense filed Document 74 — an Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial — requesting approximately ninety additional days of preparation. The court granted the motion. The new trial date is September 8.The procedural context makes the continuance notable. The defense previously moved at exceptional speed for a case carrying two potential life sentences. The defendant, Timothy Hudson — sixteen at the time of the alleged offense — signed a written waiver requesting adult prosecution. No contested transfer hearing was held. No prior continuances were filed. The defense operated on approximately three and a half months from initial discovery production to trial. That timeline is significantly compressed by federal standards.The continuance motion cited the government's voluminous discovery production, scheduling conflicts arising from lead counsel's involvement in two other federal trials, and family obligations. The prosecution filed no opposition. The absence of a government objection is procedurally significant — in a case where the prosecution has simultaneously sought pretrial detention, agreeing to a three-month delay represents a departure from the posture of urgency.The strategic implications extend in both directions. The defense's speed-to-trial approach had identifiable advantages: jury trial over bench trial, preservation of pretrial release, and forcing the government to proceed with the case as assembled. The reversal suggests the discovery production altered the defense's assessment of trial readiness.Unresolved proceedings remain before the September date. The autopsy report is sealed. The government's detention motion is pending — the defendant remains on GPS monitoring at a relative's home rather than in federal custody. Pretrial evidentiary motions have not yet been heard. Federal Rules of Evidence will substantially determine what reaches the jury.Anna Kepner was eighteen when she was found dead aboard the Carnival Horizon during a family cruise in November 2025.
