In part 2, we start to understand the severity of Andrea's postpartum depression - an illness that went untreated so long that it developed into a psychosis. And even after she recovered from it the first time and she and her husband Rusty were warned that it would be worse if they had any more kids, they went ahead and had their fifth. Many questions swirl around Rusty and his insistence that they continue to reproduce. And only when Andrea's attorney is finally able to make the connection between her mental illness and her religious indoctrination is a jury able to see her crime for what it was, a perfect storm of coercion, depression, and a desperate attempt - as backwards as it sounds - to save the souls of her children.

In this episode of Mystery and Murder: Analysis by Dr. Phil, Dr. Phil takes a deep dive into the infamous The Staircase case and the mysterious death of Kathleen Peterson. What began as Michael Peterson's claim that his wife suffered a tragic fall quickly became one of the most debated true crime cases in America. Dr. Phil analyzes the disturbing blood evidence, Michael Peterson's statements, the psychological pressure of living a double life, possible motive, and the credibility issues that shaped the jury's verdict. He also breaks down why this case continues to divide the public, from the media spotlight and courtroom spectacle to the defense strategy and the questions that still haunt this staircase death. Before the owl theory, before the Alford plea, and before the case became a cultural obsession, Dr. Phil examines the red flags that made investigators ask one critical question: was Kathleen Peterson's death really an accident?

Brian and Jeff are joined by author A.C. Wise to talk about joy in horror, her books The Ghost Sequences (2021) and Out of the Drowning Deep (2024), and her new novel Ballad of the Bone Road (Jan. 26, 2026). Wise describes horror's joy as an adrenaline-driven extreme emotional response akin to excitement, and traces her horror roots to Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, darker fairy tales, and lifelong ghost-story interests. They discuss how others react to her genre work, her day job at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and shifts in speculative fiction toward mainstream popularity and genre mashups. Wise explains Out of the Drowning Deep as a noir/horror/science-fantasy blend exploring faith, meaning-making, and a feedback loop between divinity and belief, including inhuman, unsettling angels. She recounts the near-rights-issue backstory of The Ghost Sequences cover and notes the title story's inspiration from a ghost-themed art installation. A.C.'s recent horror joys: Sinners, Staircase in the Woods, The Buffalo Hunter, and the game Dead Take.A.C. Wise Website

Episode No. 749 features curator Mari Carmen Ramírez and Isabelle Frances McGuire. Ramírez is the curator of "Frida: The Making of an Icon" at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The exhibition reveals how Frida Kahlo went from virtually unknown to mainstream audiences at the time of her death in 1954 to becoming famed as both an artist and as a kind of celebrity icon. Among the factors it identifies are North American geopolitics, the role of culture in the promotion of nationhood, tourism, and international trade, and more. "Frida" features more than 30 works by Kahlo and 120 more by five generations of artists she inspired. It is on view at the MFAH through May 17. A fascinating catalogue was published by the MFAH in association with Yale University Press. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $60. McGuire is included in the 2026 biennial exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. The show was curated by Marcela Guerrero and Drew Sawyer with Beatriz Cifuentes and Carina Martinez. It's on view through August 23. This segment was taped when McGuire was included in the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago's "Descending the Staircase" exhibition in 2024. McGuire is a Chicago-based artist whose work considers the body and how our understanding of it can be filtered by video games, film, animatronics, and other technologies. The 2024 MCA Chicago exhibition marked her first inclusion in a museum exhibition; since then McGuire has shown at Artist's Space, New York, and at the Renaissance Society, Chicago.

On June 20, 2001, 36-year-old Andrea Yates did the unthinkable when she drowned her five children in the bathtub of her family home. For decades, that was all anyone knew. We called her crazy, evil, unforgivable. We couldn't imagine how it could have happened. But the backstory is horrifying and centers around the "teachings" of a radical street preacher, who psychologically tortured and tormented his followers into believing they and their children were unsavable and doomed to spend eternity in hell. Parents had until "the age of accountability" - only twelve years old - to save their kids from eternal torment and damnation. We hate this guy, fam. And as you come to understand the power he had over Andrea, you start to understand the why behind her actions.FAM!

In March 2013, thirty-year-old Joanne Dennehy went on a violent ten-day rampage in the UK - murdering three men and severely wounding two others in vicious and random attacks. She had a driver and a hostage - YES, A HOSTAGE - as witnesses. She received a "whole life sentence" for her crimes, being only the fifth woman in the history of the country to receive such a punishment. So WHAT ON EARTH drove her to commit these crimes? And what explains her extremely bizarre behavior once she was arrested? We're....not really sure.

In the early morning hours of June 5, 2002, a man appeared in 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart's bedroom at her home in Salt Lake City, Utah. He put a knife to her neck, told her if she screamed he would kill her, and marched her out of the house and into the woods. The only witness was Elizabeth's 9 year old sister Mary Katherine. For the first time, both of them are telling their complete stories.

As we always used to say IT'S NEVER THE SATANIC CULT IN THE WOODS--THEY DON'T EXIST! But try telling to Michelle Smith and Dr. Lawrence Pizder, whose book Michelle Remembers was published in 1980 and IS STILL RUINING LIVES TO THIS DAY! The book was based on years of "therapy sessions" in which Michelle was regressed to her childhood and allegedly uncovered memories of horrendous abuse and torture at the hands of a Satanic Cult. Evidence in the documentary suggests that this likely... didn't happen. BUT SO BEGAN THE ERA OF SATANIC PANIC ANYWAY! There's... a lot to unpack here fam. Join us, won't you?

On December 3, 1999, billionaire Edmond Safra and his nurse Vivian Torrente died in a house fire in his 10,000-square-foot Monaco loft. The circumstances are... insane. Like, in the most secure country in the world, surrounded at all times by a team of private bodyguards, how could this have happened? Welp, turns out, there's lots of ways. Was it the Russian mafia who was, like, mad, because, like mafia? Was it his private American nurse who'd been looking for a payout? Was it his wife who stood to inherit billions?

 FAM...I KNOW WE SAY THIS A LOT, BUT THIS ONE IS WILLLLLLLD. In the early 1960, we don't know exactly when, George Carol went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came home. His four kids spent decades wondering what happened to him. Their mother, Dorothy, didn't like to talk about George and she didn't want to answer any of her children's questions about him. As adults, the kids decided to search. They were given a clue from an unlikely source. And so they started to dig--figuratively and literally. What they discovered leads to one of the most shocking conclusions we ever seen. Gird your loins, grab your dog or your cocktail, or nearest loved one (WITH CONSENT, PEOPLE!), because you are not going to believe what you are about to hear.

For 35-year-old Crystal Rogers, nothing was more important than her family - her parents, her four kids, and her long-term boyfriend, Brooks. So on July 4th weekend, 2015, when all of these people realized that none of them had heard from her in days, panic ensued. Her car was soon found abandoned on the side of the highway. It had a flat tire and her purse, cell phone, and wallet were all left inside the vehicle. So what happened? Was she abducted? Did she take off? As the police and her parents begin to investigate separately, they find more questions than answers. And when the cops connect her disappearance to two other murders in the area, a picture starts to come into focus. The journey to finding out what happened to Crystal WILL LEAVE YOU SCREAMING.

There is no manual for life, and if you're waiting for one before you take the next step, this episode is for you. In this episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, Tami explores what it really means to take the first step without seeing the whole staircase. When there is no instruction manual, no guaranteed outcome, and no clear plan, trust becomes the path. This conversation weaves together a real-time story about a last-minute invitation to Sedona, the ego spiral that followed, and the deeper lesson underneath it all: learning how to trust your intuition instead of waiting for certainty. We talk about: Why there is no manual for healing, purpose, parenting, or growth What it looks like to take the first step in faith How to tell the difference between intuition and ego Healing the worthiness wound and people-pleasing patterns Why outsourcing your joy and validation keeps you stuck Rebuilding trust with your body, food, and inner child If you've been waiting for permission, clarity, or a full roadmap before moving forward, this episode is your reminder: you don't need the whole staircase — just the next step. ✨ The Nourished Woman Within is beginning soon. This program supports women in rebuilding trust within their bodies, healing their relationship with food, and reconnecting with the woman within.

All right Fam, get ready for our first-ever episode covering the icon himself: Joe Kenda. We're in Colorado Springs, on June 5, 1988. The brutalized body of 24-year-old Mary Lynn Vialpando has been discovered in a back alley. There are almost no clues to who killed her. But Joe Kenda is on the case. When Mary Lynn's husband frantically appears at the crime scene, he becomes suspect number one. But in the first case in Colorado's history to use DNA technology to solve this crime, it would take years for the killer to be caught and for Mary Lynn to receive some measure of justice.Find and watch "Homicide Hunter: The Man with No Face" on Discovery+WE'RE ON YOUTUBE - Want to view the episodes and not just listen?  Check our new video feed to see full video episodes starting today.

In April 2005, Ha Smith, a prominent Vietnamese-American fortune teller, and her adult daughter, Anita Vo, were found brutally murdered in Smith's home. They had been beaten and stabbed. The killer had stolen cash, jewelry, and credit cards, and poured white paint over the victims' heads and hands, a detail that initially led police to consider that it had been a ritualistic killing. It would take weeks and a cross country manhunt to uncover the truth. Fam, THIS. ONE. IS. WILD.

IT WAS GONNA BE A REALLY GOOD REALITY SHOW, FAM, WE SWEAR TO GODDESS! Ugh, in 2010, Lifetime TV ordered 8 episodes of a show called PI Moms. And it was supposed to be just as badass as it sounds: A group of women kicking ass, taking names, and solving crimes. The only problem is that WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD, and so it turns out, the whole enterprise was being run by a guy who not only didn't actually care about the show, but was also BUYING AND THEN SELLING DRUGS FROM A DIRTY COP, annnnnnnnd a completely different egomaniac dude was trying to derail the whole thing because the producers wouldn't make a show called PI MOMS ABOUT HIM. Like, you really can't make this stuff up. And there's a reason this (amazing) series is called Trainwreck. Ugh. ANYWAY GET READY TO HEAR US SCREAM FOR AN HOUR (sorry for yelling).

RIP the internet, Fam. Date of death:  Sometime in January 2020 when William White joined up! It started out innocent enough: some cute guy making lip-sync videos to 80s songs that made the ladies of a certain age swoon. But because we can't have anything nice, it all quickly went to hell. Fan groups formed, the bullying started, and the doxing, of course. And thennnnnnn William made a bunch of questionable choices. And we're gonna scream about it all. Join us, won't you?

On November 28, 1974, 28-year-old Karen Silkwood was killed in a car wreck on Highway 74 near Crescent, Oklahoma. Her death was officially ruled an accident. But her friends, family, and co-workers knew the real story: she had been killed for what she knew - and what she was about to do about it. In her car was a folder full of evidence that she was about to turn over to the New York Times detailing the plutonium  contamination of herself and her fellow workers at the local nuclear energy plant, and, crucially, evidence that the plant and THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, was complicit in nuclear proliferation - AKA GIVING FOREIGN POWERS THE TOOLS TO MAKE NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

It's a totally new kind of documentary film, fam, AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT! In 2021, Susan Lorincz moved in to an established family neighborhood in Ocala, Florida. She was a problem from day one.
