Layla Santanello disappeared from Kingsport, Tennessee, on June 27, 2023, after a series of troubling sightings around the Americourt Motel. Santanello, then 20 years old, had spent the previous night at the motel and was later seen barefoot, going door to door before running toward a nearby tree line. Early the next morning, she was spotted in a field next to the motel and asked a warehouse employee for a cigarette. Her last confirmed sighting came when she was seen walking along the nearby Greenbelt. After that, she vanished without a trace and has not been heard from since.Investigators now believe Santanello encountered a group of people after leaving the motel and that some of those individuals know what happened to her. Authorities have said they believe she is likely dead, but no one has been charged and no suspect has been publicly named. Her disappearance has remained unsolved despite searches, interviews and continued appeals for information, while her family has worked to keep attention on the case. More than three years later, the central mystery remains unchanged: what happened after Layla left the Americourt area, who she met, and why no one with knowledge of her final movements has provided the information needed to bring the case to a conclusion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Investigators obtained a warrant for TikTok records connected to Kaylee Goncalves as they worked to reconstruct the victims' digital activity and determine whether Bryan Kohberger had interacted with any of them before the murders. The warrant sought subscriber information and account data associated with TikTok accounts belonging to Kaylee, Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle, covering the period investigators believed could be relevant to the case. Police later received data tied to all three women and preserved it as evidence. Investigators were looking for any communications, follows, searches, account interactions or other digital activity that might reveal a connection between Kohberger and the victims before November 13, 2022, making the TikTok warrant part of the broader effort to answer whether Kohberger knew of or had monitored any of them beforehand.The warrant served on Elan Financial Services focused instead on Kaylee's financial records. Moscow police served the warrant on December 22, 2022, seeking records connected specifically to Kaylee Jade Goncalves as investigators examined transactions and account activity that could help reconstruct her movements, purchases or contacts before her death. Much of the underlying material was later sealed or redacted, so the public record did not disclose the full contents of what Elan produced or exactly what investigators hoped a particular transaction might establish. Taken together, the TikTok and Elan Financial warrants showed how broadly detectives were examining Kaylee's life, looking not only at social-media activity but also at financial records in an effort to map out her final months and identify any connection, encounter or activity that might help explain what happened at the King Road house.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Day two of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing focused heavily on prosecutors' effort to connect Robinson to the Utah Valley University campus and to the physical evidence recovered after Charlie Kirk was shot. Investigators introduced additional surveillance footage they said showed Robinson moving around UVU before and after the shooting, while the State also turned to forensic evidence recovered along the alleged escape route. A screwdriver found on top of the Losee Center and a towel recovered from a wooded area near the rifle became major points of testimony. The State Bureau of Investigation introduced an FBI laboratory report concluding that DNA from both Robinson and his roommate, Lance Twiggs, was present on the screwdriver and towel, evidence prosecutors argued helped connect Robinson to the rooftop area and to the abandoned rifle. The hearing also featured argument over the State's allegation that Kirk had been targeted because of his political and religious views, an issue relevant to the victim-targeting enhancement prosecutors had attached to several chargesThe defense spent much of the day attacking how strongly the forensic evidence could actually be interpreted. FBI forensic examiner Amanda Bakker was questioned for roughly three hours as defense attorney Michael Burt dug into the technical details of the DNA testing, mixtures, statistical interpretation and the limitations of what the results could establish about when or how DNA was deposited on the objects. Robinson's lawyers also pushed back against the State's motive theory, challenging the attempt to characterize the killing as being driven by Kirk's religious beliefs in addition to political disagreement. By the end of day two, prosecutors had added important physical evidence to the surveillance case presented on day one, but the defense had begun laying out the approach it would use throughout the hearing: concede that certain items contained Robinson-associated evidence while aggressively challenging what that evidence actually proved about possession, timing, motive and the circumstances of Kirk's killing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
In July 2018, 53-year-old Michelle Kinney was living alone in Dubuque, Iowa. Known for her kindness and willingness to help people struggling, Michelle often opened her home to strangers who needed a place to stay. When concerned neighbors found her brutally murdered inside her apartment, investigators faced a large pool of potential suspects. A break came when detectives reviewed city traffic cameras and spotted Michelle walking home with a stranger carrying her groceries. The man entered her apartment with her and was later seen leaving alone. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Michelle Kinney. Her killer was already in jail on unrelated charges when detectives questioned him, and after initially denying involvement, he confessed to attacking Michelle in a rage, stabbing her repeatedly with a knife and fork before stealing money and leaving in her clothing because his own was covered in blood. Investigators soon learned the killer had a disturbing history of violence against women and had failed to report to probation just months before Michelle's murder. The case left Michelle's family devastated, but they continue to honor the generous, outgoing woman who spent her life helping others.You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The so-called Atlantic City Serial Killer, also known as the Eastbound Strangler, is an unidentified killer believed to have murdered four women in the Atlantic City area in 2006. On November 20 of that year, the bodies of Barbara Breidor, Molly Dilts, Tracy Ann Roberts and Kim Raffo were discovered in a drainage ditch behind the Golden Key Motel along the Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township. The women had been placed face down in shallow water, spaced apart in a row, with their heads oriented toward the east and their shoes and socks removed. At least two of the victims died from strangulation or asphyxiation, while decomposition prevented authorities from determining definitive causes of death for the others. Several of the women had histories involving sex work, which led investigators to believe the killer may have targeted vulnerable women in the Atlantic City area.The case has remained unsolved for nearly two decades despite multiple suspects and periodic attempts to revive the investigation. One man, Terry Oleson, drew intense scrutiny after police learned he had been staying at the Golden Key Motel and later found evidence that he had secretly recorded a minor, but he was never charged in connection with the four murders. Investigators also revisited the case after the arrest of accused Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann because of similarities between the victims and the disposal sites, but authorities said they found no known connection. The identity of the Eastbound Strangler remains unknown, leaving the murders of Breidor, Dilts, Roberts and Raffo as one of New Jersey's most haunting unsolved serial murder cases.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The cellphone was lying near Rachael Koloroutis. At 3:12 that afternoon, she had tried to call 911. But help never reached her in time. It was the afternoon of July 18, 2003, and four young people in a comfortable suburban home near Houston were caught completely off guard. The television was still playing. Tiffany Rowell and Adelbert Sanchez were seated on the sofa and apparently never had time to stand. Investigators believed Rachael had answered the door and then attempted to run when the attack began. Whoever entered that house had been welcomed inside. Then two guns opened fire. Twenty-one shots were fired in a matter of seconds. Seventeen struck their targets. Eighteen-year-old Tiffany Rowell never made it off the sofa. Neither did twenty-one-year-old Adelbert Sanchez. Nearby were Tiffany's nineteen-year-old boyfriend, Marcus Precella, and her close friend and roommate, eighteen-year-old Rachael Koloroutis. All four had been shot repeatedly. Marcus had also been struck in the head with a gun. But Rachael had survived the first barrage. Badly wounded, she had somehow begun moving toward her cellphone. She was still conscious. Still trying to summon help. Before she could finish the call, one of the attackers returned. Rachael knew the person standing over her. According to testimony, Rachael looked up at someone she had once considered a close friend and asked: Why are you doing this to me? There would be no answer.

Two Ole Miss students, Aidan Hamilton, 18, and Robert Strang, 20, were found dead on the same day. New police documents link both to “Smax” Pseudo-DHM, a “high-potency MGM-15 product” chewable sold as kratom by a smoke shop. Before being raided, the shop's staff reportedly told undercover cops not to take the pills because “people were dying.” The American Kratom Association, a kratom advocacy group, says the product's compounds “do not occur naturally in the kratom plant. They are synthetic derivatives or chemically manipulated forms of 7-OH.” When the news first broke of the college student deaths, Dr. Drew suspected the investigation would find multiple drugs were involved. This was later confirmed by reports revealing that Stang “took a Xanax bar the afternoon before he was found dead…. Investigators found 20 to 30 nitrous oxide cans and his roommates said Strang “would use whippets daily”.” World-renowned brain health expert and psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen joins Dr. Drew to break down what synthetic opioids do to the brain, the alarming availability of Smax-like products in gas stations, and the fatal “Celebrity Killer Cocktail” of mixing benzodiazepines (like Xanax) with alcohol, opioids, or other drugs.

Caleb Flynn's own body was the crime scene his devices mapped. His Apple Watch logged roughly 200 steps in the hour before his 911 call — movement while he claimed to be sleeping in his daughters' bedroom. A spike of 346 steps around 2:30 a.m. His Oura ring contradicted his sleep claims. His AirPods connection and disconnection times tracked him through the house. He forgot that every device on his body was a witness.A Miami County jury convicted Flynn on all nine counts — aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, tampering with evidence — in roughly two hours. Ashley Flynn was shot twice in the back of the head while she slept, their two daughters in the next room. The prosecution had seven days of testimony and forty witnesses. The defense had nothing — zero witnesses called.Flynn sent more than 107,000 texts to Alleigha Botner, a 21-year-old worship intern he met at his own church. Prosecutors printed them into 34 books. He called Ashley “douche” and “spawn of Satan.” He texted about wanting her dead. The night before the murder: “I choose you. I'm free. Actions will come tomorrow, February 16, a day I'll never forget.” Hours later: “It's happening.”He tried to erase the trail. Deleted messaging apps, scrubbed social media, wiped the AI app he used to write love songs for Botner days before the murder. Investigators pulled a full phone extraction and recovered every message, every timestamp, every location ping. His intruder story — that someone broke in through a window, shot Ashley, and fled with his gun — fell apart under neighborhood cameras that showed no one arriving, no one leaving. His side of the bed was undisturbed. The gun was never found. Flynn faces life without parole, with sentencing set for October 5.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On Christmas Eve 2010, Lori Erica Ruff died by suicide outside her in-laws' home in Texas. Afterward, her family found a box of documents revealing that “Lori” had built her life on the identity of a child who had died years earlier. Even her husband had not known her real name.Investigators traced the paperwork back to 1988, when she obtained identification as Becky Sue Turner, then legally changed that name to Lori Erica Kennedy. She later married and had a daughter, but the documents offered no clear path to the person she had been before.In 2016, genealogist Colleen Fitzpatrick used DNA and family records to identify her as Kimberly McLean, who had left her Pennsylvania home at 18. Her mother's DNA confirmed the match. Kimberly's identity was finally known; why she chose to erase her past so completely remains uncertain.
When you walk into a death scene and see someone hanging from a tree, it would be easy to assume you already know what happened. But as a death investigator, that's exactly what you cannot do.In this episode, I'm talking about the death of 29-year-old Tasia Fortune, a mother of four who was found hanging from a tree behind a vacant home in Jackson, Mississippi. Investigators now believe Tasia was already dead before her body was suspended and that the scene was staged. Her death has been classified as a homicide, although her exact medical cause of death had not been publicly released when I recorded this episode. I'm going to walk you through this scene the way I would have approached it as a forensic nurse death investigator. What would I photograph? What would I look for around the tree and on the ground? Does the ligature make sense? Could she have reached the suspension point? What can lividity tell us about where her body was positioned after death? Are there injuries that don't fit the scene? Could her clothing, shoes, DNA, phone records or surveillance footage tell us that she had been somewhere else?And this case demonstrates something I learned very quickly doing this work: your job isn't to decide what the scene looks like. Your job is to determine whether the physical evidence supports what it looks like. Sometimes one piece of evidence that doesn't fit is the piece you need to pay the most attention to.
Day two of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing focused heavily on prosecutors' effort to connect Robinson to the Utah Valley University campus and to the physical evidence recovered after Charlie Kirk was shot. Investigators introduced additional surveillance footage they said showed Robinson moving around UVU before and after the shooting, while the State also turned to forensic evidence recovered along the alleged escape route. A screwdriver found on top of the Losee Center and a towel recovered from a wooded area near the rifle became major points of testimony. The State Bureau of Investigation introduced an FBI laboratory report concluding that DNA from both Robinson and his roommate, Lance Twiggs, was present on the screwdriver and towel, evidence prosecutors argued helped connect Robinson to the rooftop area and to the abandoned rifle.

Robinson's lawyers also pushed back against the State's motive theory, challenging the attempt to characterize the killing as being driven by Kirk's religious beliefs in addition to political disagreement. By the end of day two, prosecutors had added important physical evidence to the surveillance case presented on day one, but the defense had begun laying out the approach it would use throughout the hearing: concede that certain items contained Robinson-associated evidence while aggressively challenging what that evidence actually proved about possession, timing, motive and the circumstances of Kirk's killing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
During the week of November 20 through November 27, 2022, Moscow police held two major press conferences while also issuing daily updates as investigators worked to determine who killed Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. At the November 20 briefing, Chief James Fry and other officials clarified the timeline surrounding the 911 call, explaining that surviving roommates had summoned friends because they believed one of the second-floor victims was unconscious and that multiple people spoke with dispatchers before police arrived. Investigators said they did not believe the surviving roommates, the friends present when 911 was called, the private driver who brought Kaylee and Madison home, or the man seen with them at the food truck were involved. Police also continued to say they believed the killings were targeted, while acknowledging they still had no suspect in custody and had not recovered the murder weapon.At the November 23 press conference, authorities again emphasized that they had no named suspect while describing the increasingly large investigation underway. Police said they had collected 103 pieces of evidence, taken roughly 4,000 photographs, created three-dimensional scans of the King Road house and devoted hundreds of hours to forensic processing. They also said they had been unable to substantiate reports that Kaylee had a stalker, cleared the man she and Madison repeatedly tried to call shortly before the murders and continued asking the public for video, tips and other information. By November 27, police reported that more than 488 digital-media submissions had been sent to investigators and acknowledged the growing fear in Moscow, with calls about unusual activity and welfare checks rising sharply. The week of briefings showed an investigation expanding rapidly in manpower and evidence collection, but still without the central answers the public wanted most: who committed the murders, what the motive was and where the killer had gone.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Day two of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing focused heavily on prosecutors' effort to connect Robinson to the Utah Valley University campus and to the physical evidence recovered after Charlie Kirk was shot. Investigators introduced additional surveillance footage they said showed Robinson moving around UVU before and after the shooting, while the State also turned to forensic evidence recovered along the alleged escape route. A screwdriver found on top of the Losee Center and a towel recovered from a wooded area near the rifle became major points of testimony. The State Bureau of Investigation introduced an FBI laboratory report concluding that DNA from both Robinson and his roommate, Lance Twiggs, was present on the screwdriver and towel, evidence prosecutors argued helped connect Robinson to the rooftop area and to the abandoned rifle. The hearing also featured argument over the State's allegation that Kirk had been targeted because of his political and religious views, an issue relevant to the victim-targeting enhancement prosecutors had attached to several chargesThe defense spent much of the day attacking how strongly the forensic evidence could actually be interpreted.

During the Office of Inspector General investigation into the death of Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in August 2019, correctional officer Tova Noel gave an interview describing how the morning unfolded when Epstein was discovered in his cell. According to her account, she and fellow officer Michael Thomas were assigned to monitor the Special Housing Unit overnight. Noel told investigators that when breakfast rounds began that morning, Thomas approached Epstein's cell and noticed something was wrong. She said Thomas called out for assistance and that she moved toward the area, where Epstein was found hanging from a strip of bedding tied to the top bunk. Noel stated that Thomas entered the cell first and attempted to cut the ligature while she retrieved equipment to assist, after which they lowered Epstein to the floor so CPR could begin.However, the OIG investigation was highly critical of Noel's conduct and the credibility of the circumstances she described. Investigators determined that Noel and Thomas had failed to perform the legally required inmate counts and physical security checks for hours during the night Epstein died, leaving him unmonitored in a high-risk suicide watch environment. The report also found that Noel later signed official count sheets falsely indicating that the checks had been completed, despite evidence showing they had not been. Surveillance records and other evidence suggested the officers spent large portions of the shift away from their assigned duties, and investigators concluded that their negligence created the conditions that allowed Epstein to remain unattended long enough to die. As a result, Noel's interview with OIG was viewed less as a clear explanation of events and more as part of a broader record showing severe procedural failures and falsified documentation at the very time Epstein required the highest level of supervision.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00117759.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The so-called Atlantic City Serial Killer, also known as the Eastbound Strangler, is an unidentified killer believed to have murdered four women in the Atlantic City area in 2006. On November 20 of that year, the bodies of Barbara Breidor, Molly Dilts, Tracy Ann Roberts and Kim Raffo were discovered in a drainage ditch behind the Golden Key Motel along the Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township. The women had been placed face down in shallow water, spaced apart in a row, with their heads oriented toward the east and their shoes and socks removed. At least two of the victims died from strangulation or asphyxiation, while decomposition prevented authorities from determining definitive causes of death for the others. Several of the women had histories involving sex work, which led investigators to believe the killer may have targeted vulnerable women in the Atlantic City area.The case has remained unsolved for nearly two decades despite multiple suspects and periodic attempts to revive the investigation. One man, Terry Oleson, drew intense scrutiny after police learned he had been staying at the Golden Key Motel and later found evidence that he had secretly recorded a minor, but he was never charged in connection with the four murders. Investigators also revisited the case after the arrest of accused Gilgo Beach killer Rex Heuermann because of similarities between the victims and the disposal sites, but authorities said they found no known connection. The identity of the Eastbound Strangler remains unknown, leaving the murders of Breidor, Dilts, Roberts and Raffo as one of New Jersey's most haunting unsolved serial murder cases.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this episode of the 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben examines the Southern California daycare fraud case, the Justice Department's broader enforcement efforts, and what these investigations reveal about alleged abuse of taxpayer-funded programs. He discusses recent actions involving pandemic loan fraud, health care fraud prosecutions, efforts to recover lost funds, and the administration's stated goal of making fraud enforcement a government-wide priority. A federal crackdown in Southern California has led to charges against 12 individuals accused of fraudulently collecting more than $10 million in taxpayer-funded child care subsidies. Federal prosecutors allege that licensed home daycare operators submitted false attendance records, claimed payments for services never provided, and collected funds intended to help low-income families access child care. The case highlights a broader push by the Trump administration and the Department of Justice to target fraud across multiple government programs, from child care subsidies to pandemic-era relief loans and health care reimbursements. Investigators say they used surveillance, travel records, bank data, and other evidence to test whether taxpayer-funded services were actually being delivered. Topics Covered: The Southern California home daycare fraud investigation Allegations involving more than $10 million in child care subsidies Surveillance and border-crossing records used by investigators Nationwide enforcement actions targeting pandemic loan fraud DOJ health care fraud prosecutions involving billions in alleged losses Trump administration efforts to expand federal fraud enforcement Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

THE MURDER OF STEVEN COZZI The Tomasz Kosowski Case When attorney Steven Cozzi arrived for work at his Largo, Florida, law office in March 2023, there was little reason to believe he wouldn't be going home that evening. Then he vanished. His wallet, phone and keys were left behind. Investigators found blood inside the men's restroom at the law firm, but there was no sign of Cozzi himself. His body has never been recovered. What followed was an extraordinary murder investigation that eventually led authorities to Dr. Tomasz Kosowski, a plastic surgeon locked in a bitter legal dispute involving the medical practice where he had once worked. Cozzi represented defendants in that litigation, and prosecutors argued that Kosowski's anger over the case had become an obsession. The evidence investigators assembled told a chilling story: surveillance footage, forensic evidence, movements before and after Cozzi disappeared, and a trail prosecutors said connected Kosowski directly to the attorney's death—even without a body. But the case took another remarkable turn when Kosowski went to trial for first-degree murder and made a decision that dramatically raised the stakes: He represented himself. Facing the possibility of a death sentence, Kosowski questioned witnesses, challenged evidence and personally attempted to convince the court that prosecutors had accused the wrong man. It didn't work. In September 2026, Kosowski was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of Steven Cozzi. This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio takes us inside the disappearance of Steven Cozzi, the evidence that transformed a missing-person investigation into a murder case, the bitter legal conflict prosecutors said supplied a motive, and the extraordinary spectacle of an accused killer attempting to defend himself against a case that could ultimately cost him his life. And at the center of it all remains one haunting unanswered question: Where is Steven Cozzi?

Forty-seven sailors were dead. The Navy had an answer that wasn't an accident but pointed to one dead man.In 1989, the USS Iowa suffered a catastrophic turret explosion that killed everyone inside. Investigators soon focused on Clayton Hartwig, his life insurance policy, and rumors about his relationship with another sailor. As the case unfolded, an LGBTQ+ true crime story emerged alongside questions about military culture, homophobia, and whether a dead sailor had been turned into a convenient scapegoat. But independent investigators would later challenge key parts of the Navy's case, raising a haunting question: was this a crime, an accident, or an investigative failure?Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers explores true crime with a queer perspective, uncovering the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history. Press play, grab a drink, and join us for one of the Navy's most controversial mysteries. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Investigators in the Bryan Kohberger case obtained a search warrant for Microsoft seeking user data tied to several accounts and identifiers associated with him, including email addresses, a phone number and university-linked accounts. The warrant covered records from January 1 through December 30, 2022, giving police access to data that could potentially help reconstruct Kohberger's digital activity before and after the murders. Moscow Police served the warrant through Microsoft's law-enforcement portal in July 2023, and Microsoft later provided responsive files that investigators downloaded, decrypted and placed into evidence. The supporting affidavit remained sealed, while the warrant and inventory were partially redacted, so the public record did not reveal every detail of what investigators were specifically searching for or what the Microsoft data ultimately contained.Investigators also served a warrant on Potlatch No. 1 Financial Credit Union, now known as P1FCU, as part of a much wider effort to examine financial records connected to the investigation. The Potlatch warrant was one of numerous warrants issued to banks and financial institutions as detectives looked for transactions, account activity or other records that might help establish movements, purchases or other relevant behavior. Court records show that the Potlatch warrant was returned in December 2022, but much of the substantive information remained sealed or redacted because the court found the records contained highly private information and because of concerns about protecting Kohberger's right to a fair trial. Taken together, the Microsoft and Potlatch warrants showed investigators examining both Kohberger's digital footprint and financial activity as they built out the broader evidentiary record.contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Investigators used investigative genetic genealogy to help identify Bryan Kohberger after DNA recovered from the knife sheath found at the King Road crime scene did not initially produce a direct match in law-enforcement databases. Investigators developed a DNA profile from the sheath and used genealogical research to identify people who appeared to be genetically related to the unknown suspect. From there, genealogists built out family trees, working backward through relatives and then forward through descendants until investigators narrowed the possibilities to a much smaller group of men who fit the age, location and other characteristics they were looking for.That process eventually helped point investigators toward Kohberger, who was living in Pullman, Washington, just a short drive from Moscow. Once he became a focus, authorities began comparing the genealogical lead with other evidence, including the white Hyundai Elantra, cellphone records and surveillance footage. Investigators later obtained trash from the Kohberger family home in Pennsylvania and tested DNA from it, finding a familial relationship consistent with the father of the person whose DNA had been recovered from the sheath. That additional testing strengthened the identification and became one of the key steps that led authorities to arrest Kohberger in December 2022.to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Federal investigators are reportedly examining the Florida Science Foundation as part of the broader scrutiny surrounding longtime Jeffrey Epstein associates Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, focusing on whether the organization was used as another vehicle to facilitate Epstein's continued access to women and girls. The foundation was created in 2007, during the same period Epstein entered into his controversial federal non-prosecution agreement, and Indyke was listed in its corporate structure. Investigators are now reportedly looking at records, payments, communications and witness accounts to determine what the foundation actually did, who controlled it and whether its stated scientific purpose concealed a more troubling function. If survivor accounts and financial records establish that Epstein used the organization to continue abusive conduct while he was under state supervision, the foundation could become one of the clearest links yet between Epstein's criminal activity and the corporate and financial infrastructure surrounding him.The implications could extend directly to the non-prosecution agreement itself. The NPA conditioned its protections on Epstein complying with its terms and allowed the government to terminate the agreement and pursue further investigations or prosecutions if he materially breached it. Federal records have already shown that prosecutors discussed Epstein being in breach as early as 2008, but evidence that he was using a newly created foundation to facilitate continued abuse could provide a far more concrete basis for revisiting what those protections were actually worth. Such findings could also renew scrutiny of the immunity extended to potential co-conspirators and raise fresh questions about why federal authorities did not act more aggressively when concerns about Epstein's compliance were already surfacing. What begins as an investigation into Indyke, Kahn and a little-known foundation could therefore develop into a much broader examination of whether Epstein violated the central bargain that protected him and others almost from the moment it was signed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on the latest in the search for Nancy Guthrie.
In November 2000, 44-year-old Terry “Dale” Fetner was living in an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina, after a suspicious fire damaged his home just months earlier. On the evening of November 26, Dale returned from working on a mountain home he was building and was attacked near the entrance to his apartment. A neighbor later found him face down outside the complex, stabbed 15 times. Nothing was stolen, and investigators believed Dale had been specifically targeted and had fought fiercely with his attacker. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Terry Fetner. Despite extensive interviews, large rewards, DNA testing, and renewed attention from Greenville's cold case unit, police have never publicly named a suspect. Investigators have also questioned whether the suspicious fire at Dale's home could be connected to his murder. Nearly 26 years later, Dale's family is still waiting for answers, and authorities hope advances in DNA testing or the right tip may finally reveal who killed him and why.You can help support the show at patreon.com/truecrimeallthetimeVisit the show's website at truecrimeallthetime.com for contact, merchandise, and donation informationAn Emash Digital productionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

THE DEVIL'S LEDGER Week of September 28, 2026 Fall has officially arrived, playoff baseball is back, and apparently Mother Nature decided the Northeast needed to celebrate with a violent nor'easter. This week on The Devil's Ledger, Branden sends some love to everyone currently getting battered by wind, rain and coastal flooding—and finally answers a question some of us have somehow avoided asking our entire lives: What the hell actually is a nor'easter? Then we head into considerably darker territory. THE CREEPIEST THING I HEARD THIS WEEK: THE MOSQUITO Brazilian authorities say they've captured Jorlan Lopes da Silva, a suspected serial killer nicknamed “Mosquito” because of his thin, frail build. Police accuse da Silva of involvement in sixteen murders around Mulungu in northeastern Brazil. Investigators say he evaded capture by disappearing into dense vegetation and living in makeshift camps hidden in the wilderness. But it's the bizarre circumstances of his arrest that elevate this one into Creepiest Thing territory: when police finally cornered him after a two-day pursuit, da Silva was reportedly wearing a dress, wig and painted fingernails—and carrying an unrelated baby in his arms. THIS WEEK ON THE DEVIL WITHIN: GUSTAVE The New Monsters has come to an end, which means we're returning to something considerably more familiar: Serial killers. Sort of. Our new three-part series travels to Burundi and the shores of Lake Tanganyika for the extraordinary story of Gustave, the enormous, heavily scarred Nile crocodile blamed in legend for more than 300 human deaths. That number has never been verified—and naturalist Patrice Faye offered far more conservative estimates—but behind the mythology was a very real, exceptionally large crocodile that Faye spent years tracking. How do you hunt a serial killer with no motive, fingerprints or confession—one who can simply disappear beneath the surface of one of Africa's great lakes? Meet Gustave: The Killer of Lake Tanganyika. CRIMINAL MISCHIEF: TOMASZ KOSOWSKI Over on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn investigates the extraordinary case of plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski, recently found guilty of murdering attorney Steven Cozzi. Cozzi vanished from his Largo, Florida, law office in March 2023. His wallet, phone and keys were left behind, while investigators discovered blood inside the men's restroom. His body has never been recovered. Then Kosowski made the already extraordinary case even stranger: facing first-degree murder and the possibility of a death sentence, he represented himself. Carolyn breaks down the evidence, the disappearance and one of the stranger murder trials we've encountered in quite some time. THE SLIPPERY: THE PONZI KILLER MOM Scott and Nancy bring us the rise and spectacular collapse of Natalie Cochran. Natalie and Michael Cochran appeared to have everything: high-school sweethearts turned successful suburban family, with Natalie working as a pharmacist and Michael as a popular baseball coach and businessman. Behind that success was a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme involving supposedly lucrative government and defense contracts. As the money poured in, so did the lies—and when Michael began asking questions, prosecutors said Natalie chose murder over exposure. A jury ultimately convicted her of killing her husband with insulin. Money. Marriage. Fraud. Defense contracts. Murder. This week, The Slippery takes on The Ponzi Killer Mom. THIS WEEK IN HORROR: VICTORIAN PSYCHO Finally, we're going Gothic. Maika Monroe stars as Winifred Notty, an eccentric young governess who arrives at a remote English manor in 1858 to educate the children of a wealthy family. Then people begin disappearing. Also starring Jason Isaacs, Thomasin McKenzie and Ruth Wilson, Victorian Psycho gives us a remote manor, Victorian repression, disappearing servants and a governess who may have considerably more on her mind than afternoon lessons.

The Caleb Flynn murder trial put jurors back inside the police interview room as Det. Sgt. Mike Morgan showed more video of investigators questioning Flynn about the night his wife, Ashley Flynn, was killed.Morgan testified as jurors watched Flynn draw a map explaining what he said happened inside the Tipp City home and where events unfolded. Detectives pressed him on what he heard that allegedly woke him that night and continued working through his account step by step.Then the interview became much more direct.An officer asked Flynn, “Did you do this?”Flynn asked him to repeat the question. When the officer did, Flynn answered, “No.”Investigators also told Flynn that he would be investigated and that evidence gathered in the case would be taken to a grand jury. Flynn again denied involvement, telling detectives, “I did not touch my wife.”Flynn, 40, has pleaded not guilty to all charges in the death of Ashley Flynn, 37. Prosecutors allege he killed Ashley and staged the scene to resemble a home-invasion burglary. His defense maintains Ashley was killed during an actual home invasion and investigators rushed to judgment against her husband.Now jurors are hearing Flynn explain the night in his own words—and hearing exactly how investigators challenged that explanation.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Day two of Tyler Robinson's preliminary hearing focused heavily on prosecutors' effort to connect Robinson to the Utah Valley University campus and to the physical evidence recovered after Charlie Kirk was shot. Investigators introduced additional surveillance footage they said showed Robinson moving around UVU before and after the shooting, while the State also turned to forensic evidence recovered along the alleged escape route. A screwdriver found on top of the Losee Center and a towel recovered from a wooded area near the rifle became major points of testimony. The State Bureau of Investigation introduced an FBI laboratory report concluding that DNA from both Robinson and his roommate, Lance Twiggs, was present on the screwdriver and towel, evidence prosecutors argued helped connect Robinson to the rooftop area and to the abandoned rifle. The hearing also featured argument over the State's allegation that Kirk had been targeted because of his political and religious views, an issue relevant to the victim-targeting enhancement prosecutors had attached to several chargesThe defense spent much of the day attacking how strongly the forensic evidence could actually be interpreted. FBI forensic examiner Amanda Bakker was questioned for roughly three hours as defense attorney Michael Burt dug into the technical details of the DNA testing, mixtures, statistical interpretation and the limitations of what the results could establish about when or how DNA was deposited on the objects. Robinson's lawyers also pushed back against the State's motive theory, challenging the attempt to characterize the killing as being driven by Kirk's religious beliefs in addition to political disagreement. By the end of day two, prosecutors had added important physical evidence to the surveillance case presented on day one, but the defense had begun laying out the approach it would use throughout the hearing: concede that certain items contained Robinson-associated evidence while aggressively challenging what that evidence actually proved about possession, timing, motive and the circumstances of Kirk's killing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
A potential investigation into Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn could focus on the network of companies, trusts and accounts that formed the financial backbone of Jeffrey Epstein's operation, with investigators tracing where money came from, how it moved between entities and where it ultimately ended up. Indyke, Epstein's longtime attorney, and Kahn, his accountant and financial administrator, would be central to that effort because both men held positions that placed them close to Epstein's banking, corporate and estate structures. Investigators could subpoena bank records, tax returns, wire transfers, invoices, corporate formation documents, emails and accounting ledgers, then reconstruct Epstein's finances transaction by transaction. Particular attention would likely fall on entities such as Southern Trust Company and other Epstein-linked corporations that were previously scrutinized in Virgin Islands litigation, with investigators examining whether those businesses performed legitimate services, how they were funded and why money was repeatedly transferred among related entities.Such an investigation would go far beyond simply identifying Epstein's wealth. Forensic accountants could follow incoming payments from wealthy clients, trace outgoing wires to employees and associates, examine intercompany loans, analyze foreign transactions and compare financial records with tax filings and corporate representations. Indyke's authority over certain financial transactions and Kahn's role in accounting and tax administration would make their records especially important in determining who knew what about specific transfers and how those transfers were characterized. None of that, by itself, establishes criminal wrongdoing, but it explains why both men would be unavoidable figures in a serious examination of Epstein's money machine. If investigators truly follow the financial trail without artificial limits, the result could be the most detailed reconstruction yet of how Epstein's network operated financially and whether the complicated web of shell companies and accounts served purposes beyond ordinary wealth management.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
A Wisconsin mom picked up her kids from a babysitter's house as usual after a night out. When she noticed her infant was unresponsive, she panicked and called 911 while performing life-saving measures. Investigators quickly determined the baby was already deceased when the mother picked him up from Marissa Tietsort. It later came out that Tietsort knew the child was dead and tried to hide the death when his mother picked him up.
