    The Four Defining Roles in Your Business Story: Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide [RR 1073]

    Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Dr. J.J. Peterson, PhD in communications, explains how business owners can elevate their leadership by stepping into the role of the Guide instead of operating as the hero, villain, or victim. Using proven storytelling frameworks, Peterson outlines four core characters, Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide, and why self-awareness of these roles is critical to effective leadership. Victims lack agency and believe outcomes are beyond their control. Villains respond to pain by inflicting it on others, gaining short-term power but long-term resentment. Heroes work to redeem pain but are often overwhelmed and unstable—especially when leaders try to play that role in business. The most powerful role is the Guide: a steady, confident mentor who combines empathy and authority to help others win. Peterson shows that when leaders stop trying to be the hero and instead guide customers and team members, who are the true heroes of the story, culture improves, trust deepens, recruitment becomes easier, and retention increases. The result is the Badass Softie balance: driven leadership grounded in genuine care for people. Dr J.J.

    An elderly couple known for their quiet lives and deep roots in North Carolina are found dead, setting off an investigation that stretches far beyond a single crime scene. What begins with an early-morning fire along a rural highway soon collides with a second act of violence nearly two hundred miles away. As authorities follow the trail, familiar assumptions fall apart. An arrest brings answers, but also raises unsettling questions about what was planned, what was hidden, and how much more lay beneath the surface.

    In this episode, we take an unflinching look at one of the most notorious serial killers in American history. Theodore Robert Bundy murdered at least thirty women across seven states during the 1970s, and his case forever changed how we understand the nature of predatory violence.This is the complete story of Ted Bundy, from his troubled beginnings to his final moments in Florida's electric chair. We open on a summer afternoon at Lake Sammamish State Park in Washington State, where a handsome young man with his arm in a sling approached woman after woman, asking for help with his sailboat. Two of those women would never be seen alive again, and their disappearances would mark a turning point in one of the largest manhunts in Pacific Northwest history.The story begins in 1946 at the Elizabeth Lund Home for Unwed Mothers in Burlington, Vermont, where a young woman named Louise Cowell gave birth to a son she could not publicly claim as her own. We explore the elaborate family deception that followed, with Ted being raised to believe his grandparents were his parents and his mother was merely his older sister. We examine the household dynamics in Philadelphia, including accounts of his grandfather Samuel Cowell's violent temper, and we follow the family's cross-country relocation to Tacoma, Washington, where Louise would eventually marry a hospital cook named Johnnie Bundy.From there, we trace Ted's development through childhood and adolescence. We look at his struggles to connect with peers, his early fascination with violence and true crime, his nighttime prowling through neighborhoods, and the petty thefts that taught him he could take what he wanted without consequence. We follow him to the University of Washington, where he reinvented himself as a charming political operative and met the wealthy young woman whose rejection would send him spiraling into darkness. The heart of this episode chronicles Ted Bundy's years of murder. Beginning with the attack on Karen Sparks in January 1974 and the disappearance of Lynda Ann Healy just weeks later, we document the wave of terror that swept through the Pacific Northwest as young women vanished from college campuses and public spaces. We cover each known victim, the circumstances of their disappearances, and the desperate efforts of investigators who were working without the benefit of modern forensic tools or computerized databases. We examine the critical turning point at Lake Sammamish, where multiple witnesses saw the same man approaching women and where a composite sketch finally gave investigators something to work with. We reveal how Ted Bundy's own girlfriend reported her suspicions to police and how his name was lost in a pile of thousands of tips.The narrative follows Bundy to Utah, where he enrolled in law school and immediately began hunting again. We cover the murders of Nancy Wilcox, Melissa Smith, Laura Aime, and Debra Kent. We give particular attention to the attack on Carol DaRonch, the young woman who fought back and escaped, providing investigators with their first surviving witness who could identify her attacker. We then trace the crimes into Colorado and Idaho, documenting the murders of Caryn Campbell, Julie Cunningham, Denise Oliverson, Lynette Culver, and Susan Curtis. We explore how investigators across multiple states were slowly beginning to connect the dots, recognizing patterns that suggested a single killer was responsible for disappearances spanning thousands of miles. The capture of Ted Bundy receives detailed attention, beginning with the routine traffic stop by Utah Highway Patrol Sergeant Bob Hayward that revealed a car full of disturbing items. We cover Bundy's conviction for the kidnapping of Carol DaRonch and his extradition to Colorado to face murder charges.Two full chapters are devoted to Ted Bundy's escapes from custody. The first escape came when he leaped from a second-story window of the Pitkin County Courthouse in Aspen, leading authorities on a six-day manhunt through the Colorado mountains. The second escape was even more audacious, with Bundy sawing through the ceiling of his cell and walking out the front door of the Garfield County Jail on the night of December 30th, 1977. We follow Bundy to Florida, where he committed his most violent attacks. The Chi Omega sorority house massacre is covered in detail, documenting how Bundy killed two young women and severely injured three others in a span of minutes. We also cover his final victim, twelve-year-old Kimberly Leach, who was abducted from her junior high school in Lake City just weeks later.The legal proceedings receive thorough examination. We cover the groundbreaking Miami trial, one of the first to be televised nationally, where Bundy represented himself and was ultimately convicted based on eyewitness testimony and forensic bite mark evidence. We also cover the subsequent trial for the murder of Kimberly Leach and the failed insanity defense.The episode concludes with Bundy's nine years on death row, his eventual confessions to investigators, and his execution on January 24th, 1989. We examine his final interview with Dr. James Dobson, in which he blamed his crimes on pornography, and we consider the complicated legacy he left behind.Throughout this episode, we keep the focus where it belongs, on the victims. We name every known victim and honor their memory, reminding listeners that behind the sensational headlines were real women whose lives were cut short by a predator who exploited their trust and kindness.The Ted Bundy case fundamentally changed American law enforcement. It contributed to the creation of the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program and helped establish the modern science of criminal profiling. But perhaps its most important legacy is the warning it provides.Evil does not always announce itself. Sometimes it comes with a warm smile and a request for help. Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it probably is.

On the opening day of the new year, ominous forecasts in the Financial Times and other outlets predict more jobs lost to technology. Tellingly, some reports anticipate jobs being lost regardless of how well the new technology performs. We'll also review the importance of checking your employee handbook. Some jobs mandate that workers submit to drug or alcohol testing, body searches or other invasive security measures. It's always best to know these policies in advance - maybe before you take the job. And we get another reminder that Victims of Racism can see what you do in the workplace, and might pick up your habits - for better or worse. #AITookMyJob #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

    In November 2020, lawyers representing a Jeffrey Epstein victim filed a legal motion demanding that the U.S. Department of Justice release previously concealed information related to Epstein's secret 2007 non-prosecution agreement. The motion centered around a troubling gap in documentation—specifically, missing emails from then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta's office during the period when the controversial plea deal was negotiated. Victims' attorneys argued that these missing records could reveal undisclosed communications, potential misconduct, or improper coordination between Epstein's defense team and federal prosecutors.The legal team emphasized that the absence of this material undermined public trust and cast doubt on the government's narrative surrounding Epstein's prosecution. “I think it calls into doubt everything that we've been told about the case,” said one of the attorneys, urging the DOJ to come clean about the full extent of its dealings with Epstein. The motion underscored the growing belief among survivors and their advocates that the original agreement—which allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges and protected unnamed co-conspirators—was not just flawed, but potentially the product of behind-the-scenes corruption or manipulation that still has not been fully disclosed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawyers for Epstein victim seek 'previously concealed information' from Justice Department - ABC News

    Did you know that JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank settled lawsuits tied to the Epstein case—one for hundreds of millions of dollars—after victim-survivors exposed embarrassing emails and transactions?  And despite a million dollars in DOJ overtime, the "first batch" release of Epstein files was simply a repackaging of old documents handed to influencers, not journalists. But that is just the beginning. Today, the legal world—and really, society at large—is abuzz with talk of the unsealed Epstein files, financial institution accountability, and the relentless search for truth. As law firms and attorneys are increasingly called upon to sift through layers of redacted documents and shifting legislation, this episode of Cut to the Chase Podcast zeroes in on what real transparency could mean for the legal industry, corporate oversight, and survivors' rights. This week on the Cut to the Chase: Podcast, Adam Clasfield, investigative journalist and legal-political reporting veteran, joins host Greg Goldfarb. Known for covering the Southern District of New York and being present the day Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, Adam Clasfield brings unmatched insight into what Congress, courts, and victims' lawyers are actually uncovering. Get ready for an unvarnished look at the money trail, why survivors and Congress push for more transparency, what hasn't been released, and what law firms must keep their eyes on as the case evolves. On Part 1 of this series, Gregg and Adam discuss: - The disappointing "big reveal": why the recent batch of Epstein files was a dud for transparency - Why the money trail—financial institutions' role—matters more than leaked emails - Senator Ron Wyden's push to release suspicious activity reports from Treasury and FinCEN - How lawsuits against JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, and others could drive major reforms - The problem of "whack-a-mole" financial regulation: banks vs crypto - The elusive "smoking gun": what's truly left unreleased, and why lawyers should care - The intersection of sex abuse, institutional accountability, and federal resources - DOJ's million-dollar overtime spend—and concerns about diversion and coverup - Predictions on clemency, Congressional interest in interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell, and the unknown unknowns ahead Key Actionable Takeaways for Law Firms: - Anticipate future reforms: Watch for Congressional and regulatory pushes that could change - banking oversight and legal compliance in the wake of settlements. - Follow the money: In high-profile cases, financial documentation and suspicious activity reports may be more revealing—and actionable—than emails. - Prepare for survivor-driven litigation: Victims' attorneys won't stop; expect more suits demanding transparency, accountability, and financial institution responsibility. - Demand robust internal investigations: Advise clients, especially financial institutions, to audit and strengthen oversight to avoid being the weak link in the chain of abuse. - Monitor DOJ and regulatory trends: Keep tabs on resource allocation, legislative changes (like the Transparency Act), and federal court developments for proactive legal strategy.

    Open inquiry depends on the ability to ask uncomfortable questions and follow evidence wherever it leads. Eric Kaufmann argues that this norm is now under strain. Drawing on history, survey data, and political theory, Kaufmann outlines how certain identity categories came to be treated as morally sacred—and how that shift has reshaped debates about equality, free speech, and academic inquiry. The conversation examines the long roots of today's culture conflicts, the move from equal opportunity to equal outcomes, and why disagreement is increasingly interpreted as moral transgression rather than intellectual difference. At stake is what happens to liberal societies when some questions can no longer be asked, nd whether open inquiry can still be defended without abandoning concern for fairness and dignity Eric Kaufmann is a professor of politics and Director of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science at the University of Buckingham. He has written for The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Times of London, Newsweek, National Review, New Statesman, Financial Times, and other outlets. His new book is The Third Awokening.

Sanders reportedly told a member of "Accuracy in Media" that the university has reconfigured their "DEI" policy to comply with Pres. Trump's new mandates. The school allegedly investigated this exchange and terminated Sanders' employment.

    Top Stories for December 25th Publish Date: December 25th PRE-ROLL: SUGAR HILL ICE SKATING From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, December 25th and Happy birthday to Jimmy Buffett I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Duluth named Georgia's most Hallmark movie-like city Solicitor's Office donates 5K proceeds to help domestic violence victims Salleigh Grubbs appointed to State Election Board Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on holiday foods All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: GCPS Hiring STORY 1: Duluth named Georgia's most Hallmark movie-like city If you’re dreaming of a Hallmark-style Christmas, Gwinnett County’s got you covered—no need to pack your bags. According to The Action Network, three Gwinnett cities made Georgia’s top five most Hallmark-like towns, with Duluth taking the crown as number one. Why Duluth? Think walkable streets, a buzzing town green, and a community that actually shows up—for festivals, concerts, and all the holiday feels. “It’s less about historic landmarks and more about people-driven traditions,” they said. Lawrenceville and Suwanee also made the list, proving Gwinnett’s got that small-town magic—minus the guaranteed snow or last-minute romantic plot twists. STORY 2: Solicitor's Office donates 5K proceeds to help domestic violence victims Three local groups that support domestic violence survivors got a little holiday cheer last week, courtesy of the Gwinnett County Solicitor’s Office. Solicitor General LisaMarie Bristol handed out checks to Mosaic Georgia, the Partnership Against Domestic Violence, and Ahimsa House during a ceremony at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center. The $12,080 came from the office’s third annual Dash 4 Domestic Violence 5K. “This is about more than money—it’s about action,” the office said. The event drew 170 runners, 65 volunteers, and 33 sponsors, raising over $12K to help survivors and their families across Gwinnett. STORY 3: Salleigh Grubbs appointed to State Election Board Former Cobb GOP Chair Salleigh Grubbs has been tapped for the State Election Board, the Georgia Republican Party announced Monday. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones made the appointment, filling the seat left vacant by Rick Jeffares. Grubbs called it a “recess appointment” and said she’s ready to get to work immediately. “Salleigh’s leadership and commitment to election integrity are unmatched,” said Georgia GOP Chair Josh McKoon. A Marietta native, Grubbs has been a vocal advocate for fair elections for years. “I’m honored and humbled,” she said. “This is about transparency, bipartisanship, and making Georgia’s elections better for everyone.” We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Kia Mall of Georgia - DTL HOLIDAY STORY 4: Bittersweet: Candymakers navigate tariff, supply chain challenges during holiday season For Jocelyn Dubuke, owner of Jardi Chocolates, 2025 was a gamble. Faced with rising tariffs and supply chain chaos, she spent every dollar of last year’s revenue to stockpile chocolate. Why? To keep her customers from feeling the pinch. “Come January, I told my distributors, ‘Whatever chocolate you’ve got in the States, I want it,’” she said. “I wasn’t about to tell my customers halfway through the year, ‘Oh, by the way, your price just doubled.’” Chocolate’s tricky—rules you can bend, but not break. And with cacao only grown overseas, tariffs hit hard. STORY 5: Brookwood Tops Archer for First Deep South Classic Title in 10 Years Masai Knight spent most of the game dishing out assists—nine of them, to be exact—but his biggest play came when it mattered most. With Brookwood clinging to a four-point lead in the final minute of the Deep South Classic championship, Knight threaded a perfect pass to Grant Dehnke, who scored inside to stretch the lead to six. A defensive stop, a couple of free throws, and that was it—Brookwood sealed a 61-52 win, their first tournament title in a decade. FALCONS: Bijan Robinson was electric, C.J. Henderson clutch, and the Falcons? They held on—barely. Atlanta edged Arizona 26-19 on Sunday, thanks to Henderson’s diving interception with 90 seconds left, slamming the door on the Cardinals’ final drive. Robinson? Unreal. 171 total yards, a touchdown grab, and a spot in Falcons history—just the third player to hit 2,000 scrimmage yards in a season. Not bad company: Jamal Anderson, William Andrews. Arizona? Another heartbreak. Seven straight losses, 12 of their last 13. Brissett’s 203 yards weren’t enough, and a wild Michael Wilson TD catch wasn’t either. Atlanta’s still alive. Barely.

    The U.S. Department of Justice released another massive tranche of Epstein-related materials early Tuesday under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, bringing the total to tens of thousands of new pages and media now publicly searchable online. Reports indicate nearly 30,000 additional documents and video clips were posted, though many remain heavily redacted or unclear in significance. The new files include emails, surveillance footage, evidence logs, and other investigative records connected to Epstein's case and associates, drawing renewed attention to his criminal network and the scope of federal investigation. The DOJ's release notes that some claims contained in the documents — including allegations about public figures — are unverified or sensationalist and were included to comply with the law's transparency requirements rather than as evidence of criminal conduct. Victims' advocates continue to criticize the pace and depth of disclosure, and political controversy has flared as some files released earlier this week were removed without explanation.Among the notable contents in this December 23 dump are emails suggesting previously unseen communications involving Ghislaine Maxwell and a sender linked to “Balmoral,” possibly tied to a British royal, as well as flight records and correspondence referencing former President Donald Trump's travel on Epstein's jet more often than previously documented — though context and implications remain heavily redacted. The release also reportedly contains surveillance materials from the timeframe around Epstein's death, adding to ongoing public distrust and speculation about transparency in the case. High-profile reactions include political pushback over reputational concerns, continued disputes over redaction practices, and calls from lawmakers for enforcement of the transparency law after deadlines were missed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein files live updates as Justice Department releases huge new set of documents, photos

    Lesley Groff was more than just Jeffrey Epstein's assistant—she was allegedly one of the operational architects behind the scenes of his trafficking empire. For years, Groff managed Epstein's calendar, travel logistics, and appointments, but the allegations against her go much deeper than administrative work. Victims and lawsuits have accused her of coordinating meetings that were, in reality, abuse sessions involving underage girls. She's been described as someone who not only arranged encounters but also actively facilitated the recruitment process by maintaining contact with young girls and, in some cases, instructing them to bring others. Her office wasn't a neutral workspace—it was the nerve center of a global sex trafficking ring hiding behind layers of wealth and corporate polish.Despite these disturbing claims, Groff has never been criminally charged. She was one of the individuals protected under Epstein's infamous 2008 non-prosecution agreement, which granted immunity to unnamed co-conspirators and allowed key enablers to escape justice entirely. In the years since, she's managed to keep a low profile, rarely speaking publicly while civil suits were quietly dismissed or settled. Her continued freedom, in the face of such serious allegations, is a reminder of how deeply entrenched Epstein's protection network was—and how many of those who helped orchestrate his abuse still walk free, untouched by the justice system. Groff's story isn't just about her—it's about a system that shielded the guilty while survivors were left to carry the weight of silence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein assistant accused of supplying girls for the pedophile WILL NOT face charges | Daily Mail Online

    The process of unsealing federal grand jury records is deliberately difficult, wrapped in layers of legal insulation under Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Only a federal judge—not the President, not the Attorney General—can authorize disclosure, and even then, only if the requester demonstrates a “particularized need” that outweighs the default presumption of secrecy. Motions must be surgically precise, narrowly tailored, and supported by compelling legal justification. Even successful requests often result in redacted or restricted disclosures, not public transparency. The system is built to prioritize protection over exposure, and accountability often takes a backseat to process.While the courts claim this structure safeguards the integrity of justice, it frequently appears to serve power over truth—especially when politically sensitive material is involved. The legal mechanisms for disclosure exist on paper but function in reality as bureaucratic gatekeeping. Victims, journalists, and the public are told they can seek access, but few ever get it—and fewer still get anything meaningful. The result is a growing skepticism: that secrecy has become less about shielding the innocent and more about shielding the institution itself. The question is, will the courts continue to protect that secrecy at all costs, or will the demand for real transparency finally break through?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

    The coverup surrounding Jeffrey Epstein was a sophisticated, multistage operation that weaponized misdirection, media manipulation, and institutional protection to bury the truth in plain sight. It began by amplifying the Mossad-as-mastermind theory—a deliberate red herring that redirected public scrutiny away from Epstein's deep ties to U.S. intelligence, federal law enforcement, and powerful domestic institutions. This narrative not only created an exotic scapegoat but also contaminated serious inquiry, lumping real investigators in with conspiracy theorists. With blame successfully deflected abroad, the American intelligence and financial networks that enabled and protected Epstein were quietly airbrushed out of the story.What followed was a coordinated campaign of procedural containment, reputational damage control, and manufactured closure. Victims were ignored or silenced, key files remained sealed, and the narrative was shifted from systemic exploitation to a lone predator myth. Ghislaine Maxwell's trial and silence were treated as resolution, while the institutions that benefited from Epstein's operation repackaged themselves as allies in justice. Meanwhile, the gatekeepers returned to inject noise any time the truth threatened to reemerge. The end result is not just a coverup—but a successful historical rewrite, where the perpetrators walk free, the public is pacified, and the truth is replaced with permanent confusion.And now, almost unthinkably, we've come full circle—into the final insult: the attempted rehabilitation of Ghislaine Maxwell. With time doing what time does, and the public's memory deliberately eroded, we're seeing carefully placed interviews, soft-focus articles, and revisionist commentary that recasts Maxwell not as a co-architect of a global trafficking operation, but as a tragic figure—"a woman caught in a man's world," or worse, "a scapegoat." This isn't organic. It's the last stage of narrative laundering, where the architects of the coverup test whether enough time and confusion have passed to slowly reintroduce one of the most culpable figures as misunderstood, maligned, or even worthy of sympathy.to contact me:bobbycapucciBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Know who your child is riding with, how long they're gone, and what the reporting procedures are.Watch the tech. Officers or advisors should never be Snapchatting, DMing, or texting minors privately. Monitor app usage and discuss healthy boundaries.Get involved. Show up to meetings. Get to know the adults running the program. Your presence as a parent or guardian helps make the space safer for everyone.Keep communication open. Let your child know they can talk to you about anything -- especially if something makes them uncomfortable. Make it clear that they won't be in trouble for speaking up.Getting Help:If you or someone you know has experienced abuse in a Police Explorer or similar youth program, here's what to do:Believe them. If a child or teen discloses abuse, believe what they say. Stay calm, listen, and affirm that it's not their fault. Praise them for coming forward.Report it. If the child is in danger, call 911. Otherwise, contact your local police, sheriff's department, or state child protection agency. If you're concerned local police might have a conflict of interest, contact your state police, state attorney general, or the FBI.Document/preserve everything. Save messages, screenshots, call logs — anything that could help support the report.Seek emotional support: Abuse by a trusted adult is incredibly disorienting. You and/or your child deserve compassionate care from someone trained in trauma -- like a therapist, school counselor, or crisis line advocate.Connect with survivor resources. Many organizations offer specialized support for young people.Consult legal counsel: Some survivors explore civil legal action against individuals or institutions. An attorney familiar with institutional abuse cases can help assess your options.Red Flags: Signs of Grooming or Abuse in Explorer Programs:Abuse by authority figures often begins with grooming -- a gradual, often-subtle process that builds trust before violating it. Here are common warning signs in youth law enforcement programs:“Special” treatment. One teen is singled out for attention, gifts, mentorship, or exclusive opportunities not given to others.Excessive one-on-one contact. Repeated private ride-alongs, late-night messages, or invitations to hang out off-duty.Private communication. The adult uses personal texting apps, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, or other unmonitored channels to talk to a minor.Overstepping/blurring boundaries. Inappropriate compliments, jokes about relationships, or sharing personal details not appropriate for a mentor-mentee dynamic.Isolation. The adult discourages the teen from talking to others about their relationship or makes the teen feel responsible for their secrecy.Gaslighting or guilt. The adult blames the teen for misunderstandings, manipulates their emotions, or makes them feel they'll “ruin someone's life” if they speak out.Physical contact. Touch that's unnecessary, prolonged, or makes the teen uncomfortable -- even if it's framed as casual or accidental. You can learn more about The Good segment and even submit a story of your own by visiting The Good page on our website! Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

    2026 is the year Rex Heuermann finally faces trial for seven murders spanning three decades. But before the courtroom doors open, a stunning arrest just reshaped everything we thought we knew about Gilgo Beach. In December 2025, police charged Andrew Dykes — the father of "Baby Doe" — with murdering Tanya Jackson and their two-year-old daughter Tatiana. For fourteen years, investigators assumed they were victims of the Long Island Serial Killer. They weren't. Dykes had been cooperating with the investigation for months before his arrest. His name was on the child's birth certificate. That means Ocean Parkway wasn't one killer's dumping ground. It was a corridor for multiple predators. But Rex Heuermann is still facing the fight of his life. Seven victims. One trial. Judge Mazzei denied severance and admitted cutting-edge DNA evidence the defense called "magic." The prosecution has filed its statement of readiness with a 723-page evidence inventory. And then there's the planning document — a deleted Word file found on Heuermann's hard drive that prosecutors say is a literal blueprint for murder. Categories for "Body Prep." Instructions to remove heads, hands, and identifying tattoos. Notes about rope strength. References to FBI profiler John Douglas's Mindhunter. A dump site listed that matches where victims were actually found. January 13, 2026 is the next major court date. After that, we're looking at a trial date announcement. In this episode, we break down everything coming in 2026: the evidence, the victims, the family fracture, and the cold cases still waiting for answers. Karen Vergata. Asian Male Doe. Shannan Gilbert.

Now, Krissi is fighting to solve her mother's cold case, and investigators believe they know who did it. This is the story of a woman who was failed by every system that should have protected her.
