Kohberger's Vanishing Digital Trail Bryan Kohberger ERASED Everything — What That Really Tells Us | FBI Expert Breaks It Down In this explosive episode, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to dig into one of the most glaring omissions in the Bryan Kohberger case—his missing digital footprint. Despite mountains of forensic and surveillance evidence, the newly unsealed documents confirm something chilling: Kohberger's digital life was wiped clean. No browser history. No damning Reddit threads. No incriminating search terms. Nothing connecting him to the victims online. And for a PhD criminology student deeply embedded in digital forensics, that's not oversight—it's intent. Jennifer explains what it means when a suspect scrubs their digital life, how that reflects a deep understanding of modern investigative tools, and why it adds an extra layer of premeditation to the already damning evidence. We also explore what was found—DNA on the knife sheath, surveillance of the white Elantra, and the chain of events that led to Kohberger's arrest. If you're wondering how someone could be so careful with their digital footprint and yet still get caught—this episode breaks it down.

In this riveting segment, the host exposes a coordinated effort by the intelligence community, media, and political elites to bury the truth about Russiagate and protect corrupt power players like John Brennan, James Comey, and Hillary Clinton. With Tulsi Gabbard under fire for speaking out, the host unpacks how whistleblowers were silenced and how even liberal journalists like Matt Taibbi are now revealing the rot within the CIA. Shifting gears, the episode also explores the rising impossibility of “getting away with murder” in the age of surveillance—from Idaho to Arkansas—and whether national parks have become hunting grounds for modern killers. It's a chilling, high-octane mix of political deception and forensic reality—where the lies may be falling apart, but so is any chance of hiding from the truth.

As surveillance technology tightens its grip on everyday life—from Ring cameras to vehicle GPS and genetic databases—committing murder and getting away with it has become nearly impossible in populated areas. This thought-provoking monologue explores how killers may increasingly target remote locations like national and state parks to evade detection, citing a tragic double homicide in Arkansas's Devil's Den State Park. The discussion touches on groundbreaking crime-solving techniques, the inevitability of digital footprints, and why rural America may become the new front line in violent crime. Plus, a sharp detour into Europe's energy crisis and media bias, capped by a bizarre story tying deviant criminal behavior to political hypocrisy.
Solitude Chapter 4: Is spending time alone the answer to redirecting our attention? As Benjamin concludes this chapter on solitude he's joined by the author of The Point of Vanishing, Howard Axelrod.After suffering a traumatic eye injury, that left him blind in one eye, Howard felt disconnected from the world around him. His solution for reconnection was to pack his bags and move to the woods of northern Vermont for two years and live in complete isolation. Howard shares how he discovered the beauty in solitude and discusses what it was like to reconnect with himself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Ww're pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful — and least understood — forces shaping our economy: private equity.My guest is Megan Greenwell, a veteran journalist and former editor-in-chief of Deadspin, whose new book, Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream, is both a searing exposé and a deeply human investigation. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous reporting, Megan shows how private equity firms, often operating in the shadows — have quietly reshaped entire industries: health care, housing, local news, retail, daycare, even emergency services.At the heart of Bad Company are four Americans — Liz, Roger, Natalia, and Loren — whose lives were upended by private equity–backed takeovers of the institutions they depended on. Their stories reveal how a business model designed to extract maximum profits for investors has left devastation in its wake for working families and entire communities.This is a conversation about capitalism, inequality, and the hollowing out of the American Dream. But it's also about resilience, and the people fighting back.
Sean “Diddy” Combs now faces heightened jeopardy in his federal criminal trial after prosecutors introduced evidence that he possessed an AR‑15-style firearm with an obliterated serial number. Under federal law, merely possessing a firearm with a defaced serial qualifies as a serious gun offense, and is often seen as nearly indisputable, since the prosecution must only show that the weapon exists and the serial was removed. This piece of evidence not only adds a standalone weapons charge but also bolsters the government's RICO (racketeering) case, as it ties directly to allegations that Combs' so-called “enterprise” used threats, weapons, and violence (including firearms) to facilitate sex trafficking and intimidate witnesses.Moreover, introducing this gun serves to strengthen the prosecution's narrative that Combs ran a criminal enterprise. The indictment alleges that he wielded multiple weapons with obliterated serial numbers and orchestrated “freak‑offs”—sex trafficking events fueled by coercion, drugs, and violence, sometimes under armed threats. The gun evidence directly supports those claims, potentially making it easier for the jury to see a pattern of illegal behavior rather than isolated incidents. In short, this firearm not only risks an additional conviction but dramatically increases Diddy's legal exposure by reinforcing the racketeering, coercion, and intimidation elements of the government's case—all of which carry significant sentencing consequences if he's found guilty.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Anna Arendt is a photographer and visual artist living and working in Berlin whose images explore memory, silence, loss, and the invisible links between personal history and larger events. Her work often moves between personal, historical, and symbolic worlds, shot in black-and-white to capture places where the past and present meet.Anna was born in the German Democratic Republic and was 24 when The Wall fell, at which time her daughter was two. Her parents were born 1940 in Germany, children of war. Both of her grandfathers had been soldiers, who had been in Poland between 1940 and 1942. One came back 2 years after the war was over, the other one never returned.As a child Anna found a secret shelf that contained photo albums of her family. "It is where I discovered the power of a picture. A picture taken in summer 1940. A young family, my grandmother, her baby and my grandfather in a German uniform. A picture full of contradictions, carrying ambivalent feelings even today."Anna graduated with a degree in Fine Arts and Set Design and then received a one-year grant from the DAAD to study photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York. For 15 years, she worked as a set and costume designer for opera, drama, and puppet theater, collaborating with directors at theaters across Germany and Switzerland.Anna recently published her first book, Vanishing, with Charcoal Press. Photographed mostly between Germany and Poland over 15 years, the work slides back and forth through time like a blood memory. Walking naked through the dark forest, wolves circling, howling. A daughter becoming a mother becoming a grandmother becoming a child. Haunted villages, and souls in jeopardy. The harsh reality of the past merges seamlessly with moments of rapture that feel plucked from a Grimm fairy tale.Photography has now become the center of Anna's creative life. She continues to develop long-term projects that reflect her search for meaning in places marked by beauty, pain, and the mysteries of time. Alongside her artistic work, she also works with disabled people in an art workshop, sharing the joy of creative expression.In episode 260, Anna discusses, among other things:The origins of her photographyGrowing up in East GermanyBeginning to understand her family historyThe fall of the Berlin wall in 1989Being ‘connected to pictures'The importance of visiting Poland and its significance for her familyThe cast of characters in the book, including wolves…….And her friend, who sadly diedAllowing the photograph to tell her what it wants to be (and where)How Charcoal Press came to publish the bookHer collaboration with publisher Jesse LenzHaving a day job and a change of identityWhat she's currently up to in the darkroom EPISODE SPONSORS:CHARCOAL WORKSHOPS.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAnother week, another avalanche of headlines that make you question whether anyone's steering the ship. In this full-throttle episode of: A WORLD GONE MAD, Jeff Alan Wolf dives headfirst into the strange theater of American politics, peeling back the polished surfaces to expose what's really being presented to the public — and what's quietly being hidden.From carefully curated narratives to the quiet exodus of those once tasked with defending them, Jeff connects the dots between spin, silence, and the uncomfortable truths hiding in plain sight. It's a ride through the absurd, the manipulative, and the downright insulting — all filtered through the lens of someone who's seen enough to know better, but still hasn't stopped hoping for more.If you've ever looked at a press conference, a late-breaking headline, or a political performance and thought: “Wait Is This Real Life?”This episode is for you.So grab your coffee, punch a pillow hard in advance, and prepare for a breakdown of the week's most infuriating stagecraft — told with wit, clarity, and zero patience for nonsense.Oh — and if you're still listening by the end, you might just hear something worth acting on.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com
These two searing segments expose the aftermath of the Butler assassination attempt on Donald Trump, where six Secret Service agents were suspended nearly a year later for critical security failures—only to face minimal consequences and remain on the job. The commentary warns that this erosion of accountability reflects a broader collapse of national security and rule of law. From elite MS-13 killers embedded in Nebraska to ICE benched from deporting dangerous fugitives in favor of facilitating illegal voting, the broadcasts argue that Democratic leadership has turned parts of America into lawless enclaves. Urging vigilance, the host insists the true threat is an internal one—an establishment willing to sacrifice security, sovereignty, and justice to maintain power.

In this explosive broadcast, the host unleashes a blistering takedown of former intelligence chiefs James Comey and John Brennan, detailing their alleged perjury, illegal spying on Congress, and manipulation of the Steele dossier to fuel the Russia collusion narrative. The episode delves into how accountability has been repeatedly evaded, with felonies unpunished and public trust in institutions shattered. The discussion then pivots to the Epstein scandal, exposing how recently released surveillance video purportedly showing Epstein's final moments was actually footage of unrelated areas—while the camera pointed at his cell “malfunctioned.” Featuring commentary from Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, and a tearful Alex Jones, the show underscores how incompetence and cover-ups have corroded confidence in government and the rule of law.
Across these two fiery segments, the host investigates the tangled web of misconduct among America's intelligence elites and the unresolved mysteries surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death. First, listeners hear a relentless indictment of former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey—accused of lying under oath, illegally spying on Congress, and knowingly peddling the bogus Steele dossier to justify surveillance on Donald Trump. The analysis highlights how the statute of limitations and D.C. courts shield powerful figures from consequences. The focus then shifts to the Epstein saga, as revelations emerge that video evidence “proving” he died alone in his cell actually showed footage of other areas, with the camera facing his cell conveniently disabled. Commentary from Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, and a visibly distraught Alex Jones underscores public outrage at what increasingly appears to be a coordinated cover-up. Together, the episodes paint a chilling portrait of how entrenched power and deception have eroded Americans' faith in their institutions.
This episode tackles heartbreaking and explosive issues. First, a tragic boat crash on Lake Greenwood claims the lives of two young college sweethearts—highlighting the deadly consequences of drunk boating and the urgent need to speak up when friends act recklessly. Then, a passionate warning against escalating the Ukraine conflict by sending more weapons—arguing that economic pressure on Russia and China is a safer, smarter alternative to risking nuclear war. Finally, the show dives into the shocking disappearance of Epstein documents and rising public anger over the government's refusal to release critical evidence. Buckle up for a raw, unfiltered look at today's most controversial headlines.
These two explosive broadcasts delve into twin crises shaking American politics. First, the mysterious collapse of promises to expose Jeffrey Epstein's client list has fractured trust among Trump's most loyal supporters, fueling theories of betrayal, deep state deals, and deliberate cover-ups. Amid accusations that the administration is shielding powerful elites or has lost control of federal agencies, listeners express outrage and suspicion that will not easily fade. Meanwhile, violence erupts as left-wing extremists attack ICE facilities in Texas and Oregon, deploying tactical gear, Molotov cocktails, and ambush tactics to terrorize law enforcement. Together, these stories paint a grim portrait of a country where public faith in institutions has collapsed, political violence is escalating, and citizens are left wondering who—if anyone—can be trusted.
Marc returns from vacation with reflections, Ozzy Osbourne's final bow, and renewed outrage over the Epstein list—calling out broken promises from Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino. Kim and Ethan weigh in on the lack of accountability before pivoting to St. Louis' wild July 4th chaos and Trump's quiet legislative win. In a raw Kim on a Whim, Kim shares how illegal immigration personally wrecked her home sale — twice — exposing loopholes abused by investment firms and shielded by fair housing laws. The team then tackles Missouri's gutting of abortion safety standards by Judge Jerry Zhang and the latest federal move to protect Planned Parenthood — a warning shot to conservatives ahead of 2026.

In the quiet town of Brakpan, a couple buys a rundown house with a colorful past, only to discover that the house has more stories to tell than they bargained for. From the moment they move in, footsteps echo through the wooden floors, objects disappear without explanation, and light fixtures seem determined to crash to the ground. The occasional sighting of a short, curly-haired woman adds an eerie layer to the haunting—one that refuses to be ignored. As the couple digs deeper, they uncover strange objects hidden in the backyard: a snake's skin sewn inside a pouch filled with herbs. Burning it brings a temporary peace, but small, unsettling events continue—a glass that cracks on its own, dogs howling in unison, and glowing lights appear in the backyard. Now, the couple must decide whether the spirit that haunts their home is simply seeking attention—or if something darker lurks beneath the surface, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

It's been an all-nighter for Senators in their so called vote-a-rama - voting on amendments to Trump's not so "Big Beautiful" domestic policy bill. Republicans hope to pass the legislation by the end of the week, but there are some hold outs. The pressure on GOP lawmakers raising issues with parts of the bill is intense. Already, Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, announced his retirement and told his colleagues they are about to “make a mistake on health care"...and they will be "betraying a promise.”There have been some developments in the look into the 2024 election. Nathan Taylor with Election Truth Alliance joins to explain. Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author David Cay Johnson will stop by to talk politics. A heartwarming story is told in a new book "The Teacher of Auschwitz." We welcome author Wendy Holden to share this inspirational account of a young man determined to give some peace to children going through the unimaginable. It's Tech Tuesday and Jefferson Graham will stop by to talk gadgets and more. The Mark Thompson Show 7/1/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

#WeirdDarknessRadio WEEK OF JUNE 22, 2025 = At the isolated crossing of Rideau Ferry in the 1800s, travelers who arrived after dark at Mr. Oliver's house were promised safe passage come morning — but many were never seen alive again, and when his buildings were finally torn down decades later, the horrifying truth of what happened to those missing souls was supposedly revealed beneath the floorboards.==========HOUR ONE: A 178-year-old mystery comes to the surface in a Philadelphia suburb. (Grandfather's Ghost Story Leads to Mass Grave) *** Recently a wrecking crew began tearing down and old building in Rhode Island. But the big burly men on the crew got so frightened they refused to continue the work. Does reconstruction of a home or building anger the souls who once lived there? (Does Remodeling Your Home Disturb The Spirits Who Died There?) *** The way life has grown on our planet requires that all living things feed off each other and must kill others in order to survive. That's the way of the world if you want to live for any more than a few days. But some people are now claiming they can live without food at all… indefinitely. (Life Without Food) *** Three men were in a shed selling gardening supplies when some strange powder suddenly hit the ceiling. Before they had time to react, a small jug on a shelf abruptly flew across the room. One man picked up the jug and placed it a covered box. Instantly, the jug was...somehow...back on the floor. And that was just the beginning of the strange haunting of a community's garden shed. (The Poltergeist In The Allotment Shed) *** In the movie Salt, Angelina Jolie plays a double-agent who is mind-controlled by scary remnants of the USSR secret service. And in real life, the 1940s bombshell Candy Jones was apparently brainwashed with drugs and used as a CIA covert operative. (The Supermodel Who Was Brainwashed Into Becoming a Spy) *** No one knows exactly when she was born. Some think, maybe, she was a gypsy. Others say she was the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter. The life of Elizabeth Barnes is a mysterious one, filled with many loves, losses, and prognostications. (The Witch of Plum Hollow) *** Some travelers, arriving late at night to board Oliver's Ferry the next day, stayed at Oliver's house. But they were never seen making the ferry crossing the next morning. Is it possible that the rumors are true – that they never left the house alive? (The Frights of Oliver's Ferry)==========HOUR TWO: An eerie tombstone stands watch over one of Portland Oregon's oldest cemeteries. And the story behind that tombstone is a strange one. (The Guardians of Lone Fir Cemetery) *** Don't take a gift from Little Gracie's grave... or her life-like statue might cry tears of blood. (The Ghost of Gracie Watson) *** When it came to her daughter's Elsa doll, one mom was eager and ready to “Let It Go”. But the doll supernaturally refused to be let go! (Haunted Elsa Doll) *** An ancient stone cross is said by locals to be cursed, and the curse infects anyone who dares to disrespect it. (Curse of the Saxon Stone Cross) *** Christopher Slaughterford was seemingly a completely ordinary young Englishman – but he has earned an unenviable place in the legal books. (T he Trials of Christopher Slaughterford) *** Two authors reported a very strange encounter with a mysterious entity they believed was not of this world. What did they see and why were they under the impression this being was not of this world? (An Author's Encounter With A Not-Of-This-World Entity)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: For Allen Taylor, January 15, 1919 was just another day on his farm near Prescott, Iowa. That is, until his 15-year-old neighbor Irene Hoskins came stumbling down the lane with a gash in the side of her head. (The Hoskins Family Murders) *** How did someone get the job of an executioner in medieval times? We'll find out!
