  • Episode 633

    I just listened to this episode and got to wondering how many counties in this country is corrupt like this county, and Horry County in South Carolina??? How many crimes have been covered up in the past? Episode was excellent, I will have to add Dog with a Bone to my list of podcasts to listen to. It will put me that much farther behind in keeping up with all your episodes. But great interview.

  • Sigh

    It took at least 15 minutes before they actually went to the story. If you want true horror. Listen to seven. Whoo they are full on. I had to give up on listening to one story because it was the most disturbing thing ever.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

663 // The Coldest Murder Mystery - Who Killed Ötzi?
Q: How did the initial misidentification of Ötzi as a recent hiker influence early handling of the find?
Early investigators treated the body as a recent casualty, which delayed recognizing its true age and significance and postponed archaeologists' involvement, ultimately shaping the initial preservation and examination of the corpse.
657 // Nancy Guthrie's Abduction w/ Matt Murphy
Q: What are the key challenges in abduction cases, especially when wrong initial assumptions are made about the victim being taken from a bed?
He emphasizes keeping an open mind, recognizing that initial impressions can be wrong, and that evidence—such as video, forensics, and the possibility of different scenarios—must guide decisions rather than assumptions.
657 // Nancy Guthrie's Abduction w/ Matt Murphy
Q: How does a series of crimes become labeled as part of a serial killer case, and how does that affect investigation and charges?
Murphy explains that serial killer is an academic term stemming from FBI definitions, while legally the relevant concept is multiple murder; prosecutors don't have to label someone a 'serial killer' to pursue multiple related charges, and cases focus on evidence and pattern linking rather than a label.
654 // Steven Keith Roberson w/ Mom Sharmon - Part 1
Q: We are being joined now by Sharmon Roberson. Sharmon, how are you today?
I'm good, thank you for having me.
651 // New Insight on Nancy Guthrie's Abduction w/ Jen Coffindaffer
Q: How rare is a home invasion abduction like Nancy Guthrie's?
Jennifer Coffindaffer explains that such abductions are very rare in the U.S., with most similar cases involving different dynamics such as domestic or known-attack scenarios, and she emphasizes the role of timing and entry points in assessing rarity.
