  • Do your research

    If you cannot be thorough enough to find out how to pronounce the victim’s name correctly I will not care about your show. Jeff German is pronounced with a hard G. Like Gehrman.

    Just watch the opening statements of the trial it’s right on YouTube

    Just unprofessional

  • Just tell the story!

    I have tried so many times to stick with this podcast because the stories are important and the research appears to be fairly solid. But I just can’t get over the wasted time in these episodes. In part 1 of a story, rather than telling the first part of the story, Carter tells us all about what he’s going to tell us in that part. Then he tells us what part 2 will be about. Five minutes later, the episode starts. Of course, it ends with what will come in part 2. Then, when we start part 2, he te... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MYSTERY: The Rod Ferrell “Vampire Clan” Murders featuring Connor Tomlinson from What the Fact
Q: Do you know which real prince left 20,000 people impaled on stakes outside his own capital city, and then, 400 years later, got turned into a vampire by a novelist who knew almost nothing about him?
Vlad the Impaler, Vlad III of Wallachia, whose brutal campaigns and later literary fame inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula, though the vampire version is a later cultural construction rather than a historical fact.
MYSTERIOUS DEATH: The Lottery Curse featuring Javier Leiva from PRETEND
Q: If you came into Money overnight, what would you actually do?
The guest suggests that most people would share with family and friends first and struggle to keep boundaries, illustrating how generosity can become a vulnerability that con artists exploit.
UNSOLVED: Ken McElroy 2, Vigilante Justice with Tyler Allen (Minds of Madness)
Q: So yeah, when you first heard the story and like when you get to the part where Ken McElroy is killed, what were your sort of emotional reactions at, just like as a person hearing the story?
The guest describes a mix of anticipation and heavy reflection, acknowledging the buildup and the emotional weight of a town facing its own violent history, and how those feelings shift once the violence unfolds and the consequences become tangible.
SOLVED: Missy Avila 1
Q: What drives a person to kill?
Uncontrollable rage, overwhelming fear, unbearable jealousy, or something deeper in our psyche.
HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Thanksgiving Murders Pt. 2
Q: How do families react to sudden loss with no clear explanation?
Families often cycle through grief stages—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—while unresolved grief may lead to blame and conflict among family members.
