Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein moved in similar elite circles and shared overlapping social networks, though their relationship was not overtly public or deeply documented in detail. Both men were known for cultivating influence among the wealthy and powerful, including celebrities, politicians, and financiers. There have been reports and allegations that they were acquainted and may have shared connections through figures like Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and various Hollywood and media elites. In the mid-2000s, there were whispers that Epstein offered “damage control” to powerful men facing scandals—suggesting potential cooperation or mutual benefit between him and Weinstein, especially as both operated in environments where secrecy and manipulation of the press were currency.Moreover, both Weinstein and Epstein were notorious for using their power and wealth to silence accusers, discredit journalists, and maintain influence over legal outcomes. Investigative accounts have pointed out similarities in their predatory behavior and their reliance on elaborate networks of enablers. While there's no confirmed evidence of the two men engaging in joint criminal activities, the culture of impunity they operated within—and the shared names on their contact lists—paints a picture of a predatory elite system in which they both thrived. Their relationship, even if indirect or distant, represents the convergence of Hollywood, finance, and elite power shielding itself from accountability.To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8167829/Jeffrey-Epstein-lured-young-women-introducing-Harvey-Weinstein.html

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell sit down with Stephanie Tinsley to turn up the mic—and the spotlight—on Stephanie's ‘Everything They Missed', a new, true-crime podcast series that reopens a murder case that should've never been closed. Everything They Missed is a new series retracing the cold case of Danny Harris—a father, veteran, and Tennessean whose murder became a case study in how quickly justice can be closed off. Through a cinematic, document-rich narrative, Stephanie raises crucial questions about the choices investigators made, voices dismissed, and evidence overlooked. Her work is a vivid reminder: justice isn't just about what's easy to see, but what requires the courage to investigate the inconvenient. But here's the real twists: its the railroading cops, missing fingerprints, and page-flip detective work that just doesn't add up. Stephanie's method? Relentless digging, unheard voices, and questions no one else dared to ask. We're unpacking where this case went wrong—and why none of us can look away.☕ Cups Up! ⚖️Episode References Follow Stephanie Tinsley on Instagram and X Give “Everything They Missed” a listen on your favorite streaming service!

In March of 1993, 37-year-old Blake Nex vanished from his home in Claremont, California. Blake's family grew concerned when they couldn't reach him, so a relative went to check his house. At first glance, nothing seemed amiss. There were no signs of a struggle or forced entry, but the scene inside Blake's home told an even stranger story. Groceries were still sitting on the counter, as if Blake had just come home from the store and been plucked out of his life in the middle of an ordinary day. His cats were left behind to fend for themselves, along with five hundred dollars in cash, but Blake himself was nowhere to be found.A couple of weeks later, Blake's truck turned up in the parking lot of a local airport. No one could say when it had been left there or by whom. Then, after his disappearance, Blake's home was broken into. An answering machine, toolbox, and several expensive bicycles were stolen, only adding to the mystery.When Blake's family reported him missing, they felt the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department brushed off their concerns. At the time, department policies didn't require them to take reports for missing adults, and they considered Blake to be voluntarily missing. Nearly two decades would slip by before law enforcement finally took up the case. By then, Blake's trail had gone ice cold. Any evidence that could have revealed what happened to Blake was already gone, swallowed by time and by the investigation that never began.Now, decades later, Blake's loved ones are determined to reignite the search for answers, holding onto the hope that the truth about his disappearance can still be uncovered.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Blake Nex, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department at (323) 890-5500. For more information, visit https://www.findblakenex.com, where you can learn more about his case and reach out to his loved ones who are still searching for answers.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode originally aired on May 17, 2022. In the early morning hours of March 27, 1981, Bill Jamison vanished after a night out. He had spent time at a bar before stopping for a quick bite at a diner. The waitress remembered nothing unusual. Bill ordered his usual late-night meal, finished eating, and walked out into the cool March night. That was the last time anyone ever saw him.Yesterday, you heard about the immediate search for Bill and how his family quickly realized law enforcement was not doing enough. They launched their own efforts, sometimes turning to unconventional methods like psychics. They pleaded with police for more action and spent years writing letters to anyone they thought could help. More than four decades later, his disappearance remains unsolved.Today, we will explore what was happening at Bill's workplace in the days leading up to his disappearance. His family has always wondered if what was unfolding there could hold the key to what happened to Bill.If you have any information about the disappearance of William Jamison, please contact the Roselle Park Police Department at (908) 245-2300 or the New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit at (609) 882-2000.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland are examining how Cardi B. has been schooling the courtroom on authenticity, Russell Laffitte stalls his way through justice.  Cardi B's testimony in California shows how authenticity and honesty can make a witness credible, even when the stakes are high. Contrast that with South Carolina's Russell Laffitte, whose plea and sentencing delays reflect a system that bends for the well-connected We also touch on how JP Miller's courtroom stunts might seem laughable, but they're a distraction from the real harm caused when predators use legal loopholes to protect themselves. Plus, in Texas, the family of Christa Bauer Gilley is still fighting for justice after her suspicious death was nearly written off as a suicide.  These cases may span celebrities, bankers, and grieving families, but the thread is the same: victims deserve better, and the truth deserves sunlight. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Mandy's Reaction to Taylor & Travis Engagement on Instagram

His last stop was the St. George Diner in Linden around 1 AM. He ate a quick meal, left about half an hour later, and was never seen again.When Bill failed to arrive at the office the next morning, something completely out of character, his coworkers grew alarmed. One even went to his apartment, but there was no sign of him. They contacted his sister, Katie, who immediately began calling hospitals and reached out to law enforcement.More than 40 years later, Bill's disappearance remains a mystery. Over the years, there have been reported sightings of him in other states and whispers of a possible mob connection.

Accused pedophile and former SC lawmaker RJ May is facing ten federal charges of distributing Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) — but instead of mounting a serious defense, his lawyer leaned on arguments involving Wi-Fi passwords, multitasking excuses, and even LEGOLAND trips. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dig into May's detention hearing, exposing the bizarre legal tricks, the failure of DSS to protect children, and the lingering questions about how deep South Carolina's “Good Ole Boy” network goes.  The team also continues its investigation into (48:01) Weldon Boyd and the suspicious handling of the Scott Spivey case by Horry County Police.  A video of Weldon Boyd's police interview not only shows the lead investigator on the case treating it like it's a foregone conclusion that Weldon and Bradley killed Scott in self-defense, it also shows him allowing both shooters to listen to Weldon's 911 call to get their stories straight before the interview...

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland are back again … and the filters (as usual) are OFF.  Mandy shares the tea about what went on last week in a Columbia, South Carolina, courtroom where her attorney Meredith Bannon argued against Mandy sitting for a deposition in a case she isn't a part of (David Voros and Alexandra Stasko v. Allison Dunnavant). The case stemmed from stories Mandy wrote before the Murdaugh murders about a University of South Carolina art professor accused of sexual harassment by a number of women.  Why are there no repercussions for lawyers who take objectively bad cases that seem to have only one purpose (to harass Mandy and Allison)? Why is it OK for Mandy to be deposed when one of the plaintiffs in the bad case has plainly and publicly stated that she wants to ruin and destroy Mandy's credibility (and life)?  Also on the show, what the heck happened at University of South Carolina on Sunday with the false alarm over an active shooter? And why did the school encourage people to “defend themselves against the shooter”? Plus Eric Bland has mad beef with Congresswoman Nancy Mace who — as it turns out — is allowed to SAY ANYTHING about ANYONE, as long as it's on the House floor. She — and other House members — have ABSOLUTE immunity from defamation cases stemming for what they've said in that forum according to Judge Gergel, which seems, very dangerous in this day and age. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Mandy in Jamaica with - kobe_1_love_tours on Instagram

On July 3, 2020, 38-year-old Jami Lucas was riding his motorcycle near Outing, Minnesota. According to official reports, a deputy recognized Jami and knew he didn't have a valid license, which sparked a pursuit. However, Jami's family was told something different: that an anonymous call had come in, leading deputies to pursue Jami. Either way, several deputies began chasing Jami, who turned off onto a dirt road.Police records state that the pursuit ended when Jami ditched his motorcycle and ran into the woods. A deputy drew his weapon and ordered him to stop, but Jami kept going, vanishing into the dense underbrush. From that moment forward, no one ever saw Jami Lucas again.More than five years have passed since that night, and Jami's family believes far too little has been done to find him. They also question why a high-speed chase was initiated at all, especially over something as minor as a suspended license. Nationwide, pursuits like these have drawn heavy criticism for being unnecessarily dangerous, frequently ending in crashes that cause injuries and even deaths, not only to suspects but also officers and innocent bystanders.For Jami's loved ones, the circumstances of that night remain unsettling. They can't shake the uneasy feeling that the very agency tasked with finding him was also the last to see him alive. They've been left not only with their grief but also a growing list of contradictions, conflicts of interest, and unexplained gaps in the record.If you have any information about the disappearance of Jami Lucas, please contact the Cass County Sheriff's Office at 218-547-1424, Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477, or the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at 651‑793‑7000.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For centuries, we've been told the modern-day so-called Jews are God's "chosen people," but author Ted Weiland exposes this historical fraud, revealing who the true descendants of the ancient Israelites really are. Tune in now for the biblical and historical proof that will expose the deepest lie in Christendom.

Retired Intelligence Unit Detective Gary Jenkins interviews author Robert Webster, president of the Kenton County Historical Society, about his book, The Beverly Hills Supper Club – The Untold Story Behind Kentucky's Worst Tragedy. Webster revisits one of America's deadliest nightclub fires, unearthing the possible mafia ties, cover-ups, and shocking safety failures that shaped this haunting night. Robert Webster outlines the rise of the Beverly Hills Supper Club in Southgate, Kentucky, noting its glamorous past hosting Las Vegas–worthy shows—and its lasting link with organized crime in Northern Kentucky. The 1977 Fire and Its Devastation On May 28, 1977, the club was engulfed in flames, ultimately claiming 165 lives—making it one of the deadliest nightclub fires in U.S. history. Safety Failures and Code Violations Webster discusses staggering oversights: overcrowding far beyond legal capacity, lack of marked or accessible exits, absence of sprinklers or alarms, unsafe wiring, poor construction, and inadequate regulatory enforcement—true firetrap conditions. Unraveling the “Untold” Story What truly sets Webster's work apart is his examination of the controversial claim that mafia operatives may have deliberately set the fire in retaliation for the owner's refusal to cooperate—a theory supported by previously unreleased documents, crew testimonies, and survivor accounts. Investigative and Legal Aftermath The episode highlights the State's formal review of the arson allegations, which concluded they lacked “proof,” being largely speculative. Meanwhile, Webster's book earned him a 2013 Kentucky History Award for its contribution to the record.

Good to be back here in the studio of Gangland Wire. I have a, a little bit different sort of a story. It's it's part mob and, and part fire protection and a huge fire that was you know, it really hit the headlines all over the United States back in the seventies. It's Bob Webster, Bob really appreciate you coming on the show. I appreciate the invitation. Looking forward to it now, Bob, you got, you got a pretty good accent. You, you got about as good an accent as I do. We're a little bit different speaking, aren't we? Little bit a little bit different. My New York fans and my Chicago fans I bet. And my Southern fans you know, you got that, we got that kind of Midwest twang, I guess, if you will. Exactly. Kentucky and I'm from Missouri and you know, Bob, my, my first relatives came, of course, from Virginia first, then to Kentucky, and then onto Missouri. It's the, okay. It was the immigrant path back there in the 18 hundreds, and I got a ton of them that some of 'em are still down there actually from they came here in the [00:01:00] 1860s, just before the Civil War. They came to Missouri, but okay, but deep roots there in Kentucky. Oh, guys, the, the book is inside the Beverly Hills Supper Club, the untold story behind Kentucky's Worst Tragedy, and it happened in May 28th, 1977 as the Supper Club right along the Ohio River. And Bob is from that area and he does a lot of local history down there. And Bob, you've got other books out there, correct? I do,

Investigative journalist Gail Eisnitz joins the program to expose the hidden reality inside America's slaughterhouses. What she reveals is far darker and more disturbing than most could imagine. Beyond the unspeakable cruelty to animals, the process itself is flooding the human food supply with stress hormones and other harmful biochemicals — substances we are unknowingly consuming with every bite. This is more than an animal welfare issue — it's a human health crisis and a moral reckoning. For too long, we've walked through life unconscious of the systems that shape our food, our bodies, and our ethics. That time is over. You can learn more or purchase her book at https://GailEisnitz.comSee more and stay informed with Newsletter updates: https://SarahWestall.Substack.com

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share the horrifying details contained in the 105-page federal court transcript from the June 12 detention hearing of the now-former South Carolina House of Representatives legislator — and now-former state Freedom Caucus leader — Robert J. May III. RJ May. Though the tip about RJ's alleged activity was delivered on March 31, it would take nearly three months for that tip to make its way to South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson's Office, another week to make its way to the sheriff's office and another three months before RJ's house would be raided.  Mandy and Liz talk about what went down in the hearing and how it's even more egregious to know how few people in power have spoken out about RJ May's alleged actions. Also on the show, Myrtle Beach churchy business bro “pastor” John-Paul Miller was in court again this week for the final frivolous lawsuit he filed against a protester. Spoiler alert: JP lost. Again. Plus, a look at an opinion piece written about the Scott Spivey killing case and why it's wrong to conclude that South Carolina's Stand Your Ground law means it's OK to shoot and kill anyone so long as you feared for your life at the time.  Let's dive in!

On July 12, 1987, 18-year-old Vickie Carriere was spending time with her boyfriend. Vickie was eight and a half months pregnant and eagerly awaiting the arrival of her baby boy. That day, the couple was at his family's fishing camp before starting the drive back to Vickie's home in Waggaman, Louisiana.According to her boyfriend, who was also the baby's father, they stopped at a local convenience store, just minutes from her home. He said he went inside to buy a soda for Vickie and chocolate milk for himself. When he returned to the car, Vickie and all of her belongings were gone.When she didn't come home that night, her parents were immediately alarmed. It wasn't like Vickie to disappear, especially so close to her due date. They feared for both their daughter and the grandson they were so ready to welcome. In the days that followed, those fears deepened. Vickie missed her baby shower, and then her due date came and went without a word. More than 38 years later, Vickie's family is still searching for answers, and for the baby boy she never got to hold.If you have any information about the disappearance of Vickie Carriere and her unborn son, please contact the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office at (504) 363-5500.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell were pleasantly surprised last week to find out how much power the South Carolina Attorney General's Office's packed with its punch back to Alex Murdaugh and his increasingly embarrassing attempts at getting his murder conviction overturned.  Six attorneys at the AG's office — including Creighton “BCE” Waters himself — compiled a nearly flawless 182-page response to Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffith's arguments in favor of an appeal. Let's just say, BCE and Co. ate and left no crumbs.
