On October 16, 2009, local hunters in Latimer County, Oklahoma, stumbled upon a locked, abandoned pickup truck. Inside was a severely malnourished family dog, personal IDs, cell phones, and an untouched jackpot of $32,000 cash stuffed right under the driver’s seat. The owners - Bobby, Sherilynn, and 6-year-old Madyson Jamison - were nowhere to be found. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

On May 8, 2026, 78-year-old Elisabeth "Betty" Broderick died of natural causes in a medical facility outside her California prison, ending nearly 37 years of incarceration. Her death immediately reignited a decades-old national debate: Was Betty a cold-blooded, vengeful monster, or was she a systematically dismantled housewife pushed past the brink of sanity by a powerful elite? --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

Tesla promised the Cybertruck could handle a little water, but 70-year-old Jimmy Jack McDaniel took that promise literally. On May 18, 2026, police and water rescue teams were called to Grapevine Lake, where they found a brand-new Cybertruck completely disabled and taking on water. The driver’s excuse? He just wanted to test out Tesla’s advertised "Wade Mode." --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In the early morning hours of February 26, 2022, a heavily armed intruder used construction scaffolding to breach a massive, secluded estate outside Richmond, Kentucky. The home belonged to former state representative C. Wesley Morgan, but the gunman wasn't there for politics or money. He was there for the multi-million-dollar underground survival bunker built beneath the property. With the verdict officially handed down in May 2026, we break down the complex reality of a jury finding a killer "guilty—but mentally ill," proving that a defendant can be consumed by delusions and still be held legally responsible for murder. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

In November 1986, college student Scott Macklem was gunned down in a campus parking lot. With zero physical evidence, investigators quickly zeroed in on Fred Freeman (now known as Temujin Kensu), an ex-boyfriend of the victim's fiancée. There was just one massive problem: Freeman was 400 miles away in Escanaba at the time of the shooting, an alibi verified by nine independent witnesses. Or was he? --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the morning of May 14, 2026, residents of a quiet northwest Atlanta neighborhood woke up to a bizarre sight: an army of empty, driverless Waymo vehicles invading their cul-de-sacs. Between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. alone, nearly 50 autonomous cars flooded Battleview Drive, looping endlessly and turning a peaceful suburban morning into a technological traffic jam. We discuss how these repositioning vehicles became obsessed with a single residential area, the safety concerns raised by local parents, and what happens when the algorithms we trust to optimize our streets end up gridlocking them instead. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

For 18 years, Jean-Claude Romand’s family believed he was a brilliant, high-flying medical doctor working for the World Health Organization in Geneva. In reality, he was a medical school dropout who spent his days sitting in his car, wandering through forests, and reading medical journals in cafés to maintain the ruse. When the money ran out and the truth loomed, Romand chose a path of absolute destruction over confession. We walk through the devastating 48 hours where he murdered his wife, his two young children, and his elderly parents, before a failed suicide attempt left him alive to face the reality he destroyed. It’s a stark look at the ultimate cost of a fragile ego. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Anne Marie Fahey was 30 years old at the time of her death, the youngest of six children in a close-knit Irish-Catholic family from Wilmington. She was known for being vibrant, hardworking, and deeply ambitious. While her professional life was thriving, Anne’s private life was a battleground. When she tried to break off her relationship with high-ranking Delaware lawyer Thomas Capano, she vanished. In this episode of True Crimecast, John and Jamie trace the unprecedented investigation into Anne’s disappearance. They discuss the gruesome betrayal by the Capano brothers, the morbid moment a juror climbed into that very cooler to test a killer’s lies, and the final diary entries of a woman who just wanted her life back. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

In 1882, a man calling himself Henry Debosnys arrived in the Adirondacks. He was cultured, spoke half a dozen languages, and claimed to be a Portuguese aristocrat. But beneath the charm was a trail of dead wives that stretched across the East Coast. Within weeks of marrying a local widow named Betsey Wells, she was found brutally murdered—and Debosnys was the only suspect. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!
