Headline Highlights & Case Updates

Diddy Sentencing

Timestamps: 00:23 – 06:29

• Diddy’s Sentencing: Recently denied acquittal and a new trial, rapper Diddy was sentenced on October 3rd. Prosecution sought 11 years, defense asked for 14 months; the judge ultimately sentenced him to 50 months (about 4 years and 2 months) with 14 months counted as time served. Annie projects he could be out in just over two years, possibly less with good behavior.
• Public Outrage: Annie and co-host discuss how many feel justice was not fully served, both at conviction and sentencing, especially since more disturbing allegations (“the freak offs, the Cassie video”) were not part of the conviction.
• Notable Quote:
  “A lot of people are obviously outraged because it feels like justice has now been failed twice. Not only at the conviction portion of the trial, but now at the sentencing as well.” —Annie (05:20)
• Court Sketches: Social media buzzed about an apparently exaggerated or AI-style court sketch of Diddy looking devastated at sentencing, fueling memes and jokes online.

D4vd ("David") Update

Timestamps: 06:31 – 10:20

• Rumors Addressed: Annie clarifies that despite widespread speculation, D4vd is NOT a suspect in the Celeste Hernandez case, whose body was found decomposed in a Tesla trunk ("frun").
• Manager’s Statement: D4vd’s manager publicly distanced himself:

  “I have never received any emails, I have zero knowledge of anything, and I don't live in California. Also, I work remotely 95% of the time and my job doesn't require me to have much interaction with any of my clients or David…” — D4vd's manager [read by Annie, 07:36]

• Status of Investigation: Police confirmed there are no suspects, including D4vd, as the cause and manner of death could not be determined due to decomposition. Possibility remains for lesser charges (e.g., concealment of a body) if evidence arises.
• Debunked Rumors: Annie confirms there is no evidence Celeste was pregnant, contrary to online rumors.
• Notable Comment:
  “At best at this point, you would get charged with concealment of a body or... disposing of a corpse. Like those charges, which are obviously far less severe.” —Annie (08:36)

Brian Kohberger & Idaho Murders

Timestamps: 10:21 – 12:26

• Media Drip: Kohberger—subject of notorious university murders—is back in the headlines as previously withheld evidence is released post-gag order, including selfies and security footage.
• Release of Crime Scene Photos: Some disturbing images were released, causing distress to victims' families. However, a judge has now permanently banned graphic photos from being released.
• Empathy for Families:
  “The families deserve some sort of win... You wouldn’t want the worst day of your life out there for, like, public fodder.” —Annie (11:32)

Ellen Greenberg Case

Timestamps: 12:27 – 15:27

• Case Recap: Ellen, a Pennsylvania teacher, was found dead after 20+ stab wounds; the scene ruled suicide, later re-examined as probable homicide.
• Complicated Connections: Annie voices frustration that the new Hulu docuseries, Death in Apartment 603, omits “direct political connections” and possible cover-up factors.
  “There’s so much crossover... I certainly think that there was plenty of opportunity for cover up here and to, like, cover Sam’s ass because his family knows people in high places.” —Annie (13:51)
• Parents’ Pain:
  “Those poor parents... as the dad was saying... ‘I just hope that we get answers before it’s my time.’” —Annie (15:08)
• Extra Content: Annie interviewed Ellen’s parents in a recent Serialously deep-dive episode.

A Redditor recounts how her husband was falsely suspected of trying to abduct his own baby when a stranger tried to kidnap their child in broad daylight—only to be thwarted by quick family action and police confusion.

• Notable Quotes:
  “That’s the perfect crime for a kidnapper... You got a minivan. You have this woman who looks unassuming. She’s saying it’s her child... anyone in public... would think it is her child.” —Annie (27:37)

Segment: 34:53 – 44:17

3. I Shot My Stalker Tonight

Segment: 45:57 – 58:09

A young woman’s months-long ordeal of harassment, threats, and digital stalking culminates in a home invasion. She shoots her stalker in self-defense, survives, and is vindicated when he’s arrested. Years later, the same stalker is convicted for attacking another woman.

• Case Details: The victim was doubted by police until the stalker broke in; she had documentation and evidence, and her firing the weapon ultimately saved her.

4. Is My Landlord Watching Me?

A young woman details suspicious noises in her apartment, moving furniture, and a landlord’s creepy comments. After a tense investigation, it’s revealed her ex was stalking and possibly surveilling her with hidden devices; a police investigation led to her ex’s conviction.

• Commentary: Kaylin and Annie analyze the importance of trusting one's gut and not letting gaslighting from others (even parents) discourage self-advocacy.
• Personal Experience: Both share stories of weird roommates and methods to catch intruders (Annie’s water bottle trick).
• Notable Quotes:
  “You always have to trust your gut. That is literally your first line of defense.” —Annie (74:51)
