The Downfall of Ruby Franke Part 1
Feb 1901:23:32Tap to summarizeThis episode contains discussion of child abuse. Ruby Franke built an empire on being the “perfect” mom. Millions of followers watched her raise six kids, share parenting advice, and present a picture-perfect family life. But behind the wholesome image, things weren’t as perfect as they seemed. Viewers began noticing punishments that felt extreme… then disturbing… then impossible to ignore. In 2023, Ruby Franke was arrested for child abuse, alongside a woman many people had never heard of, but who may be the real key to understanding how everything went so wrong: Jodi Hildebrandt. In Part 1, we’re unpacking the rise of 8 Passengers, the early red flags, and the relationship that would change this family forever. This episode contains discussion of child abuse.

Transcribe →The Murder of Ken Gutzeit
Feb 1201:14:41Tap to summarizeIn 1976, 20-year-old Tulane student Ken Gutzeit was stabbed to death in front of dozens of witnesses outside his fraternity house. His killer was arrested, and then... nothing happened. No trial. No conviction. No justice. Ken’s case has been largely forgotten, it's mentioned only briefly in Netflix’s Worst Roommate Ever as the event that allegedly changed Jamison Bachman’s life. But the real story is far more disturbing. How does someone commit a public killing with eyewitnesses and a weapon — and walk free?

Transcribe →FROM THE VAULT: The True Story Behind Alpha Dog
Jan 2201:45:46Tap to summarizeOriginally released on our Patreon in January of 2022. In the summer of 2000, a drug debt set off a chain of events that no one could take back. Ben Markowitz owed money to a local dealer named Jesse James Hollywood. Jesse believed Ben was blowing him off, and what started as frustration quickly turned into something more volatile. Jesse wanted control. He wanted leverage. Then he saw it. While driving around with friends, Jesse spotted Ben’s 15 year old brother Nick walking alone. Jesse told the driver to pull over and they grabbed Nick, forced into the van, and drove away. Instead of being hurt, Nick was taken to Santa Barbara and absorbed into Jesse’s circle. For nearly three days, they partied. Nick was given drugs and alcohol. The atmosphere felt temporary, almost casual. Everyone believed Nick would eventually be taken home. That this was nothing more than a scare tactic. They were wrong.

Transcribe →The Deception of Derek Alldred
Dec 1801:25:46Tap to summarizeHe was charming, successful, attentive... and seemed almost too good to be true. And for a lot of women across the country, that’s exactly what he was. What started as an online romance quickly turned into whirlwind relationships filled with luxury hotels, expensive dinners, big promises, and a man who always seemed to swoop in at just the right moment. But behind the tailored suits, military uniforms, and impressive résumés was something far darker. As cracks began to form, women started asking the same question: Who is this man, really? What they uncovered was a shocking pattern of deception, stolen identities, and financial devastation—often carried out when his victims were at their most vulnerable. In this episode, we follow the trail of lies, the red flags that were easy to miss in real time, and the women who eventually connected the dots. It’s a story about trust, manipulation, and how one “perfect man” managed to vanish again and again—until he couldn’t anymore.

Transcribe →The Cons of Samantha Azzopardi
Dec 401:45:55Tap to summarizeThis week, we’re headed to Dublin, where a silent teenage girl appears out of nowhere on the steps of the GPO. She was shivering, terrified, and seemingly too traumatized to even say her own name. As police scramble to figure out who she is, they uncover drawings that hint at something horrific… and a trail that stretches far beyond Ireland. What starts as a heartbreaking mystery about a possible trafficking victim turns into the twisted, globe-trotting story of Samantha Azzopardi: a woman who slips in and out of identities like costumes, leaving devastated families, terrified teenagers, and baffled authorities in her wake. How does someone build an entire life out of lies, and what does she really get out of it? We’re digging into the many lives of “Con Girl” and the very real damage left behind.

Transcribe →The Murder of Jorge Torres
Jun 5, 2025Tap to summarizeIt’s one of the most bizarre and disturbing cases we’ve covered yet: when Sarah Boone called 911 in 2020 to report her boyfriend dead, she claimed it was all a tragic accident during a game of hide and seek. But the body of Jorge Torres told a different story.... and so did the videos Sarah forgot to delete. This week, we’re diving into the shocking case of Sarah Boone, the Florida woman who said she zipped her boyfriend into a suitcase “as a joke” and then left him there overnight. But investigators quickly found evidence that shattered her version of events, including horrifying footage of Jorge pleading for his life and Sarah laughing in response. We’ll break down the twisted timeline, the toxic relationship history, the long delayed trial, and the controversial use of battered woman syndrome as a defense. Was this a case of reactive abuse pushed to the limit, or calculated revenge? And what does justice look like when both people in a relationship have been hurt?
