In today's Dating Detectives episode, Hannah and Mackenzie are joined by two sisters, Tessa and Lena, who share the heartbreaking story of their mom and the dangerous “healer” who charmed his way into her life. What starts as a new spiritual interest turns into something far darker: a charismatic grifter who peddles bogus “energy readings,” pushes conspiracy-fueled medical misinformation, and steadily isolates their mother from her family, right as serious illness enters the picture. As their mothers health deteriorates and a cancer diagnosis becomes impossible to ignore, the sisters watch in horror as her husband discourages treatment, undermines doctors, and replaces real care with reckless “natural” remedies, leaving them scrambling to protect their mom and regain control of her medical decisions. This is part two of a two-part story about spiritual manipulation, medical abuse, and what it feels like to fight for someone you love when they've been convinced the danger is actually the cure.Click here to join our Patreon!

One Percenter Who Beat Black Dragon's Daughter Kills His Own BrotherToday on Black Dragon Biker TV, we are covering a story that is deeply personal, painfully real, and impossible to ignore.Police are investigating a fatal shooting in southwest Oklahoma City, where a man was allegedly shot and killed by his own brother.But this is not just another crime story.This case hits close to home.For Black Dragon, this nightmare began years ago — with a late-night phone call no parent should ever receive.His daughter had been strangled, beaten, and nearly drowned in a six-inch puddle of water by this same man — a self-proclaimed 1%er — who had been abusing her for years behind closed doors.She survived.She escaped.She fled for her life.That man's pattern of violence did not stop.According to investigators, he has now allegedly taken the life of his own blood brother — a man he had previously shot decades earlier when they were teenagers.You truly can't make this up.This is a story about unchecked violence, cycles of abuse, and the devastating consequences when it goes ignored.

Charity Powell-Beallis spent nine months fighting for her life in the Arkansas court system. She reported that her husband strangled her in front of their children. She filed for divorce. She sought full custody. She told a state senator she feared for her life. She posted on Facebook that the system was protecting her abuser while silencing her as the victim. One day after a judge reportedly awarded joint custody to her estranged husband — a doctor with a domestic violence conviction — Charity and her six-year-old twins were found shot to death in their home. When her father called the court the day the bodies were discovered, Judge Shannon Blatt says he told a clerk she "might as well have pulled the trigger herself." The judge filed a police report against him. Randy Powell says he only called to ask if he could see his grandchildren's bodies. This video examines the custody ruling, the documented warning signs the court had access to, and the research showing that strangulation is the number one predictor of domestic violence homicide — increasing a woman's risk of being killed by 750 percent. We also look at the exposed facts that show family courts exposed a pattern where courts reject abuse allegations and award custody to abusive fathers at alarming rates. The investigation into the deaths is ongoing. No suspect has been named. No arrests have been made. We reached out to Judge Blatt's chambers for comment and have not received a response. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7: 1-800-799-7233. #CharityBeallis #JudgeShannon Blatt #ArkansasMurder #DomesticViolence #FamilyCourt #CustodyBattle #JudicialAccountability #SystemFailed #TrueCrime #JusticeForCharity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Charity Powell-Beallis spent nine months warning everyone who would listen. She told a state senator she feared for her life. She posted on Facebook that the system was protecting her abuser — a local doctor — while silencing her as the victim. She went through the courts, filed for divorce, requested protective orders, and did everything you're supposed to do when you're trying to survive. One day after a judge awarded her estranged husband joint custody of their six-year-old twins, Charity and both children were found shot to death in their Arkansas home. Her husband, Dr. Randall Beallis, had pleaded guilty to battery months earlier after allegedly strangling her in front of their kids. The original charges — aggravated assault, domestic battery, child endangerment — were reduced to a single misdemeanor. He got a suspended sentence and fines. Then he got joint custody. But here's the part nobody's talking about: Charity wasn't his first wife. She wasn't even his second. His second wife, Shawna, died by gunshot in 2012 — ruled a suicide. Her family now wants that case reopened. His first wife is still alive. Two of three wives dead. Both by gunshot. Both leaving children behind. This video breaks down the timeline, the system failures, the legal battles still unfolding, and the pattern that emerges when you look at the full picture. No speculation — just the documented facts that Charity herself tried to make everyone see before it was too late. Federal agencies are now involved. No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.

On March 13, 2020, a long-simmering domestic conflict in Des Moines, Iowa, erupted into fatal violence. Paula Marie Thompson, a 50-year-old claims processor, was beaten to death with a crowbar by her adult son Christopher inside the home they shared on Pleasantview Drive. Her body would not be discovered until five days later.VICTIM PROFILE:Paula Thompson was 50 years old at the time of her death. She worked as a claims processor and was known among friends and coworkers as hardworking and responsible. Behind closed doors, however, Paula struggled with a volatile home situation. Her 32-year-old son Christopher still lived with her, financially dependent on her despite years of unemployment and sporadic work through temporary agencies. Paula had confided to friends that she was afraid of Christopher, tired of the drinking, and tired of supporting an adult who showed no progress toward independence.CASE SIGNIFICANCE:This case represents a devastating example of domestic violence that did not arrive suddenly. Paula Thompson spent months warning the people around her. She told friends she was afraid. She contacted her son's probation officer multiple times between December 2019 and March 2020, expressing growing fear. She even appeared in a Facebook video whispering to a friend that Christopher was "going to kill" her. Despite these warnings, Paula could not escape the danger living inside her own home.CONTENT WARNINGS:This episode contains descriptions of domestic violence, blunt force trauma, and animal cruelty. Listener discretion is advised.KEY CASE DETAILS:• Paula and Christopher argued on March 13, 2020, both having been drinking. Christopher retrieved a crowbar and struck his mother multiple times in the head. He remained in the home with her body for five days before confessing to a friend over the phone.• Christopher also killed Paula's cat with the same crowbar, later disposing of the animal's body in a trash can. He pleaded guilty to animal abuse in addition to the murder charge.• On March 18, 2020, Christopher walked into the Polk County Jail and confessed. He was subsequently found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.RESOURCES:This episode draws from court documents filed in Polk County, Iowa, including criminal complaints and the Iowa Supreme Court opinion in State v. Thompson. Additional sources include reporting from KCCI Des Moines, KCRG, and the Des Moines Register. For anyone experiencing domestic violence, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233.SUPPORT OBSCURA:For extended episodes, bonus content, and ad-free listening, join us on Patreon at patreon.com/obscuracrimepodcast.

In this wild new episode of The Dating Detectives, Hannah and Mackenzie sit down with a guest whose dating app romance took a turn so shocking, you'll be yelling at your phone. What started as the perfect match quickly spiraled into a maze of fear, manipulation, and unbelievable claims, including her boyfriend insisting he was part of the Russian mafia. As red flags pile up and his stories grow darker, Susan finds herself trapped in a reality that feels more like a crime thriller than a relationship. This episode is emotional, infuriating, and impossible to stop listening to. If you've ever ignored a gut feeling or fallen for someone who seemed “too good to be true,” this one's going to hit hard.

***WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTENT CONTAINS ELEMENTS THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR SOME AUDIENCES. References to sexual assault, abuse, and potential trauma INCLUDING DISCUSSION OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE.VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.The story starts with chaos—kids in the doorway, a violent assault, sirens in the street—and becomes a masterclass in survival, strategy, and justice. We sit with Lindsay Hendricks as she walks us through the realities most people never see: the cycle of abuse, the excuses that keep you trapped, the way gaslighting isolates you from family, and the hard choices you make when children are watching everything.We get candid about the legal fork in the road: take it to trial and risk retraumatizing testimony, or accept a plea that guarantees decades behind bars. The team chooses to protect the children—and two judges go further. Ada County hands down 65 years fixed. Canyon County follows with life without parole, after playing a recorded jail call where the abuser and his mother mock the victims' pain. It's the rare moment when the system does what it should.This conversation is raw and emotional. We outline red flags worth memorizing, how to build a quiet exit plan, why hidden savings matter, and how to document everything without jeopardizing an investigation. We talk therapy, survivor mindset, and the guilt that can swallow a parent whole—and how to keep it from consuming your life. We also push for change: clearer minimums for child sexual abuse, tech-savvy investigations, and judges who match sentences to the harm done.If you've ever wondered what it takes to get from sirens to sentencing—and how to support someone living in fear—this is your blueprint. Listen, share it with someone who might need it, and if this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what chaos you want to hear next. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse, it's important to know you're not alone.

By January 2007, all five suspects were in custody. Prosecutors had charged them with 46 counts including murder, rape, kidnapping, and robbery. Between 2008-2010, four separate trials resulted in convictions. It seemed like justice had finally been served and the families could breathe. Then a scandal involving the judge, who presided over the trials, would rock their worlds.

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!On December 26, 1907, a teenage boatman walking along the Passaic River spotted two pale feet jutting from the black water of a swamp outside Harrison, New Jersey. Dragged from the muck, the woman had no clothes, no identification, and only a torn red coat and a homemade fur muff nearby to hint at who she'd been. Within days, the tabloids were calling it the Lampblack Swamp mystery—and when the victim was finally named as 35‑year‑old Brooklyn housewife Lena Whitmore, the spotlight swung to her jealous, violent husband, Theodore.​In this episode, we reconstruct Lena's last days: fleeing abuse to her sister's Bronx apartment, returning home after promises of change, and then vanishing on Christmas night. You'll hear how anonymous letters, a suspicious “don't expect me tonight” telegram, and prior assault charges painted Theodore as a likely killer, even as his defense insisted the state could not prove how—or even where—Lena died. We walk through the autopsy that proved she was alive when she hit the water, the circumstantial case that went to trial, and the hung jury that left her murder officially unsolved.​*This episode of Hitched to Homicide podcast discusses the subject domestic/intimate partner violence.

On a humid September day in 1997, a man walking his dog discovered the nude body of 26-year-old Tracy Habersham in a ditch near Fort Benning, Georgia. She had been strangled. What investigators couldn't know then was that her death marked the beginning of a six-year killing spree.Part 2 of 2VICTIM PROFILE:Paul Durousseau's victims shared heartbreaking commonalities. They were young African American women—many of them mothers—struggling to build better lives. Tyresa Mack was raising three small children. Nikia Kilpatrick was six months pregnant when she died; her two young sons, aged 11 months and 2 years, were found alive but malnourished beside her body two days later. Shawanda McCalister was also pregnant. These women trusted the wrong person, and that trust cost them everything.CASE SIGNIFICANCE:Between 1997 and 2003, Durousseau used his various jobs—security guard, taxi driver—to identify and gain access to vulnerable women. His method was consistent: gain trust, enter their homes, bind them, sexually assault them, then strangle them with whatever cord was available. A phone cord. A coaxial cable. An extension cord tied in a distinctive military-style slipknot. His victims included Tracy Habersham, Tyresa Mack, Nicole Williams, Nikia Kilpatrick, Shawanda McCalister, Jovanna Jefferson, and Surita Cohen. German authorities also suspect him in additional unsolved murders near U.S. military bases during his Army deployment.CONTENT WARNINGS:This episode contains detailed discussion of sexual assault, strangulation, domestic violence, and child endangerment. Listener discretion is strongly advised.KEY DETAILS:Durousseau was born in Beaumont, Texas in 1970 and experienced significant brain trauma in utero and as a toddler. He was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder.After graduating high school in 1989, he enlisted in the Army in 1992 and was stationed in Germany, where he married fellow soldier Natoca Spann.In 1997, while stationed at Fort Benning, he was arrested for kidnapping and rape but was acquitted. Less than a month later, Tracy Habersham was found murdered—DNA would eventually link Durousseau to her death.RESOURCES:For case documentation, sources, and additional information, visit: https://www.mythsandmalice.com/show/obscura/If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.CREDITS:Research and narration by Justin Drown.

In this deeply moving and powerful episode, the Dating Detectives sit down in person with therapist and author Meredith Beardmore, who tells us her story of love, addiction, betrayal, coercive control, and ultimately, survival. Meredith shares how a seemingly stable, loving eight-year relationship unraveled during the pandemic as her husband spiraled into alcoholism, Adderall abuse, and frightening, unpredictable behavior that escalated into danger for both her and their young son. Meredith brings a raw and unfiltered honesty to the show as she unpacks the shame of being a therapist who “should have known,” the denial that kept her trapped, the rage that finally saved her, and the moment that shattered everything—a hidden Plan B receipt that confirmed the infidelity and manipulation she could no longer ignore. Meredith's story is as heartbreaking as it is brave, navigating domestic violence, addiction, psych holds, identity-theft discoveries, a terrifying police intervention, and the devastating aftermath of her ex-husband's eventual overdose. Through her insight, her humor, and her hard-won clarity, Meredith reminds listeners that abuse can happen to anyone, healing is nonlinear, and rage is sometimes the most honest tool we have. Her book, The Plan B Chronicles, will be featured in an upcoming Dating Detectives Book Club, and listeners can find more of her work on her YouTube channel, Mend With Mere.Click here to join our Patreon!

On January 6, 2007, Channon Christian (21) and Christopher Newsom (23) went on a date. They were young, in love, and planning to attend a friend's birthday party.They never arrived. What happened to Channon and Chris over the next 36 hours is known as one of the most brutal crime sprees in Tennessee history. But before we discuss the horror, we need to know who they were, the real people behind the headlines, the beloved children whose families would spend 18 years fighting for justice.This four-part series tells their complete story: the victims, the crimes, the trials, the judicial scandal that forced retrials, and the lasting legacy. In this episode, let's learn who Channon Gail Christian and Hugh Christopher Newsom Jr. were.

Two years after Susan Cox Powell vanished, tragedy struck again. During a court-ordered supervised visit in Graham, Washington, her husband Josh Powell locked a social worker out, attacked his sons Charlie and Braden, and ignited the house in a fire that shocked the nation. In Part 2 we piece together the aftermath—the frantic 911 call, the investigation that followed, and the systemic failures that allowed a person of interest in Susan's disappearance to retain access to his children. We examine how grief turned into activism through the Cox family's foundation, and how the family's tragic loss reshaped supervised-visitation policy, and why Susan's warnings remain a rallying cry for domestic-violence awareness. From Utah's deserts to Washington's forests, this story closes in flames—but its legacy continues to demand accountability and change.If you or someone you know feels unsafe in a relationship, reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org.

In August 2024, the city of Cleveland raised allegations against Cleveland and Columbus business owner Bobby George, including charges of attempted murder, rape, strangulation, kidnapping and felonious assault. More than a year later, on Nov. 3, that case was resolved when George pleaded guilty to attempted strangulation of a woman he was dating at the time. The case was handled by a special prosecutor from Jefferson county, Jane Hanlin, who was assigned the case after Cuyahoga County prosecutor Michael O'Malley recused himself to avoid the appearance of a conflict because he had accepted campaign donations from the George family. The difference between the initial charges presented and the final plea deal George entered into have raised questions about whether he was overcharged to begin with, or received a lenient deal due to wealth and influence. On Wednesday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll examine the case with the special prosecutor who handled it. We invited George's defense attorneys, Kevin Spellacy and Diane Menashe, to take part in the conversation, but they didn't return our requests for interviews. Guests:- Jane Hanlin, special prosecutor on the Bobby George case- Retired judge Michael Donnelly, former Ohio Supreme Court Justice and adjunct professor for Cleveland State University School of Law- Terry Gilbert, Criminal defense attorney If you or someone you know is in need of support, the National Domestic Violence Hotline can be reached by phone at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), by texting "START" to 88788, and online at thehotline.org.

In part two of Jessica's story The Dating Detectives pick up right where last week's dog-show meet-cute turned nightmare left off; at the moment she discovers her husband is tangled up in a $2 million lawsuit. As Jessica starts asking reasonable questions, Dylan's mask slips for good. He retaliates by dumping her beloved dog's ashes in the toilet, destroying her clothes, abandoning her at a dog event, and eventually escalating to revenge porn and online harassment that leaves her terrified in her own home and humiliated in her tight-knit dog world.

That night, Christi and her husband, Mark, took their two young children out for dinner and photos with Santa. Afterward, they brought the kids home then went to the bar where Christi worked. It was the last time anyone ever saw her. The next morning, Christi was gone, but her car and all of her belongings were still at home.

When Nikki Cheng Saelee McCain vanished in May 2024, her family was devastated.   Nikki was born in a refugee camp in Southeast Asia and came to the United States with her family, settling in Seattle. She was a beautiful, bubbly woman who loved to laugh and was always her family's biggest cheerleader. She had a forgiving nature and brought joy to everyone around her.   After Nikki vanished, her husband Tyler McCain publicly pleaded for her safe return. He apologized to both families and said he wanted to help find her.   But in August 2025, everything changed.   Tyler was arrested and charged with Nikki's murder.   Prosecutors allege he had a motive to silence Nikki—one that involves a disturbing history and a case that was dismissed when Nikki disappeared.   This episode covers Nikki's life, her disappearance, and the shocking developments that led to Tyler's arrest.   Nikki is still missing. A $30,000 reward is being offered for information leading to her location.   If you have information about Nikki Cheng Saelee McCain, please contact the Shasta County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit at (530) 245-6135 or mcu@shastacounty.gov.   Thank you to this week's sponsor!   Take control of your life with Skylight Calendar.

When 28-year-old Susan Cox Powell vanished from her West Valley City, Utah, home in December 2009, her purse, phone, and keys suspiciously remained—and her husband's story didn't add up. In part 1 we trace the chilling trail of red flags Susan left behind: a secret will, haunting journal entries, and an eerie home video “in case something happens.” From the Powells' tangled family history in Puyallup, Washington, to the night of the so-called midnight “camping trip,” we uncover the control, manipulation, and obsession that built a pressure cooker inside their Utah home. Through interviews, court records, and Susan's own words, we explore how a young mother's intuition became her last line of defense—and how the search for truth stretched across the Pacific Northwest.If you or someone you know feels unsafe in a relationship, reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org.

Viewer and listener discretion is advised.In November 2020, 26-year-old Houston influencer Alexis Sharkey was found nude along a roadside. At first, her death stunned social media—no visible injuries, no clear suspect, and a picture-perfect life on Instagram. But behind the filters was a marriage in trouble. In this episode, we break down the full timeline of Alexis's disappearance, the autopsy revealing strangulation, how friends warned she was afraid, and why investigators ultimately named her husband, Thomas “Tom” Sharkey, as the killer.We'll walk through how Houston police built the case, what they learned about alleged domestic violence, why it took months to secure a warrant, and how U.S. Marshals finally closed in—only for Tom to die by suicide before arrest. This is a case about control, image, and the danger of leaving.In this episode:Who was influencer Alexis Leigh SharkeyHer marriage to Thomas Sharkey and reports of abuseThe night she vanished over Thanksgiving weekendDiscovery of her body in Houston's Energy CorridorThe medical examiner's ruling: homicide by strangulationHow detectives ruled out other suspectsThe arrest warrant and the Florida standoffWhy intimate partner homicides often look like thisIf you or someone you love is thinking about suicide, you are not alone, and help is available right now: dial or text 988 on your phone for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — or chat online 24/7 at 988lifeline.org.

This week, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor sit down with Elizabeth Watson and Jane Allen Wilson from the North Carolina Victim Assistance Network for one of the most important conversations in veterinary medicine. Domestic violence affects far more veterinary professionals than most realize, yet it remains one of the least discussed workplace safety issues. Research shows that an estimated 1 in 5 women will experience some form of violence by a partner in their lifetime; chances are, someone listening is facing it right now.  Through candid discussion, the guests explain how to recognize warning signs in colleagues, clients, and even animal patients. They describe how abusers often isolate victims and use pets as tools of control, why victims hesitate to seek help, and what veterinarians and managers can do when they suspect abuse. The episode explores the practical and legal steps clinics can take, from safety planning to protective orders, to safeguard team members and their clients. This episode challenges the profession to view domestic violence as both a personal and a workplace concern, urging listeners to foster safer and more supportive veterinary environments.

In this two-part Dating Detectives story, we meet Jessica, a dog groomer and accomplished show-dog handler whose grief after her father's death left her vulnerable to a “Show Dogfish". What begins as comforting late-night calls with Dylan, a fellow competitor in the dog show world, escalates into love-bombing, a sudden proposal, a courthouse wedding, and controlling red flags—from secretive money moves, to keeping her car keys. As Jessica juggles her dogs, grief, and mounting estate logistics, a crisis at home collides with a shocking knock at her door: a process server tied to a $2M fraud case naming Dylan.

Tiffany Hill lived in constant fear because she was a victim of domestic abuse. In November 2019, her estranged husband, Keland Hill, was released on bail—even though his risk of committing domestic violence homicide was alarmingly high. He was a walking red flag. Just five days later, he killed Tiffany and then took his own life. In this episode, we cover Tiffany's story, the investigation, and how her tragic death inspired the Tiffany Hill Act—a law that allows judges to require GPS monitoring for high-risk abusers, alerting victims and law enforcement if the offender enters their zone of protection. Let's honor Tiffany's memory and continue pushing for similar laws nationwide. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or visit thehotline.org for confidential help. ⸻

On this Mackenzie Undercover special, we hit Orlando's CityWalk—heels on, cameras rolling—and team up with Griff Stark-Ennis from the true-crime-comedy podcast Petty Crimes to work a “guys' weekend” that isn't what it seems. Our client is a sharp attorney and mom with a bad feeling. Our subject is her construction-worker husband who conveniently “forgot” his ring. What unfolds is a wild surveillance mission that takes us straight into a nightclub, through an all-night stakeout to catch the “walk of shame,” and into a post-case twist involving encrypted chat apps and years of hidden secrets. It's proof that sometimes the trail to the truth starts under neon lights—and ends with receipts no one saw coming.Check out Petty Crimes with Griff Stark-Ennis wherever you get your podcasts, or click here to listen now!

As we close out Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this conversation is more than powerful — it's necessary.

In this powerful two-part conclusion, Abby's story reaches a shocking and emotional climax. After surviving a devastating sexual assault, she finds herself drawn back to her ex, Peter, who weaponizes her trauma, manipulates her into taking psychiatric medication, and ultimately coerces her into creating non-consensual OnlyFans content under her own name. As Abby's world unravels—from financial exploitation and digital trafficking to secret surveillance and forced “swinger” events—she begins to reclaim her clarity, her body, and her freedom. With the help of an unexpected ally, she escapes the marriage and exposes the horrifying ways predators are exploiting online sex-work platforms without accountability. This is one of the most intense and important stories the Dating Detectives have ever told.Click here to join our Patreon!

In this two-part episode, Abby shares a harrowing story that begins as a sweet college romance but quickly twists into a nightmare of manipulation, stalking, medical and mental health gaslighting, and a violent sexual assault—one her abuser later weaponized to force his way back into her life. Part one exposes the classic Dogfish playbook: love bombing, isolation, lies, and control. Next week in part two, we enter a whole new level of exploitation, one that may feel disturbingly familiar if you remember our OnlyFans Pimp cases.

Part Two of Claudia's saga is a tangle of exes, receipts, and survival. As she builds a new life with Amber, a DM from Melissa's ex, Taylor, detonates everything—revealing a secret alliance with Amber's ex Kayla, alleged surveillance, financial doxxing, and the chilling photo of Claudia's child sleeping on a mattress in a closet. We follow Claudia into court, through “defensive parenting,” and onto TikTok where a web of past partners surfaces a pattern of control; veganism-as-control, forced tattoos, baby pressure, and love-bombing wrapped in “toxic positivity.” Trigger warning: child endangerment and abuse are discussed.Click here to join our Patreon!
