In 1946, a 19 year old woman was thrust into financial and social uncertainty after losing her job. Soon after, she met a handsome and wealthy stranger who offered her a deal that seemed too good to pass up. Her mission would be to find evidence against a suspected jewel thief.

We're back from CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas, and we've got stories to tell. This week, Amanda and Trevin recap their trip to Sin City, including our live show with Dating Detectives and Generation WHY, the highs and lows of CrimeCon, Amanda's poolside adventures at Caesars Palace, Trevin's failed quest to visit a dispensary, and an unexpected overnight stay in the wrong airport. Then it's time for some long-overdue criminal updates as we revisit three unforgettable cases from the Live, Laugh, Larceny archives. First, we check in on Justin Timberlake's infamous DUI arrest and the newly released footage of his field sobriety test—the same arrest that nearly "ruined the tour." Next, we return to California's bizarre "Operation Bear Claw" insurance scam, where fraudsters used a person in a bear costume to stage attacks on luxury vehicles in an attempt to collect nearly $142,000 in fraudulent insurance claims. Sentences have finally been handed down, and we're still thinking about that incredible dad-rock soundtrack. Finally, we revisit the Massachusetts woman who attempted to stop an eviction by unleashing a swarm of honeybees on deputies and civilians. Nearly four years later, a jury has reached its verdict. Vegas stories, criminal consequences, and one of the strangest update episodes we've ever done. Cases revisited from the LLL archives:• EP 165: This is Going to Ruin the Tour – Justin Timberlake's DUI Arrest• EP 183: When Squirrels Collide – Operation Bear Claw• EP 84: Buffalo Jills and the Buffalo Who Buffalo – The Bee Eviction Case

We returned from CrimeCon 2026 in Las Vegas with something special: our live show from Caesars Palace! Join Trevin and Amanda as they welcome McKenzie Fultz (@Freedombarbie) of Dating Detectives and Aaron Habel of Generation WHY for a true crime game show featuring some of the dumbest criminals ever to grace Sin City. Together, they explore outrageous Las Vegas crimes involving gambling nuns, Red Bull-fueled burglars, viral taco thieves, a warehouse heist involving 30,000 condoms and stolen sex toys, a TikTok creator whose talent for playing dead landed him on CSI: Vegas, a man who climbed the Las Vegas Sphere, and the infamous Bellagio Bandit who somehow turned a million-dollar casino robbery into a masterclass in getting caught. Along the way, the audience gets involved, contestants battle for bragging rights, and everyone learns an important lesson: fascinating criminals aren't always masterminds. After the game, stick around for personal petty crime confessions, stories from CrimeCon attendees, and more time with our amazing guests. From casino capers and viral crimes to failed heists and unbelievably bad decisions, this is the lighter side of true crime, recorded live from CrimeCon 2026.

November 8, 2007. Constantine, Michigan. On November 8, 2007, 11-year-old Jodi Parrack went missing and was found hours later in a cemetery, murdered. The investigators on the case immediately zeroed in on family friend Raymond McCann. For years, they hounded him, interviewing him over 20 times. Finally, they were able to charge him with perjury and keep him behind bars while they gathered evidence to charge him with murder. But then another young girl was grabbed in almost the same way as Jodi and the question became, was Ray still involved or had the police ruthlessly pursued an innocent man?For special episodes and outtakes from Justin & Aaron visit: patreon.com/generationwhyAudible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Generation Why ad-free right now.

In the weeks after 9/11, letters laced with anthrax began arriving at newsrooms and Senate offices, killing five people and sending the country into a second wave of panic. The investigation that followed lasted years, consumed governmental resources, and ultimately pointed to a lone government scientist, Dr. Bruce Ivins, who died before he faced trial. The government closed the case in 2011, but not everyone was convinced they got it right.For special episodes and outtakes from Justin & Aaron visit: patreon.com/generationwhyAudible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Generation Why ad-free right now.
