    Episode 319 - The Witness, The Pilot, and The Murders in Pembroke

    It began with an arrest at an airport. A pilot, still in uniform, was taken into custody without warning. But years earlier in Pembroke, Kentucky, Calvin Phillips, Pam Phillips, and their neighbor Ed Dansereau were found dead under circumstances that never quite made sense. As the investigation unfolded, the truth became harder to pin down, and even after the verdict, some questions refused to go away.

    Episode 318 - Shampoo and Smoke - The Murder of Tara Baker

    A young law student is found murdered inside her home in Athens, Georgia. The scene is deliberately staged, the evidence nearly erased, and for more than twenty years, the case sits in silence with no clear suspect.

    A case where everything seemed to lead nowhere until one discovery changed everything and raised a question that still lingers… when nothing else remains, is one truth enough?

    Between The Madness - Episode 10 - Hell on Wheels - The Death of Dominic Russo & Davion Flanagan

    In the early morning hours of July 31st, 2022, an Ohio business park was rocked by the thunderous crash of a car slamming into a brick wall, taking the lives of two passengers.

    Shockingly, the driver, 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla, somehow survived. 

    But as word of the wreck spread like wildfire over social media, people couldn't help but wonder: if it had really just been an accident or whether there’d been something more sinister at play.

    Episode 317 - A History of Death - The Murder of Sharon Randolph

    On a quiet night in Las Vegas, Nevada, a frantic 911 call reported a home invasion that left a woman dead in her own hallway.

    At first, it looked like a robbery gone wrong.

    But as investigators began to examine the scene, small details started to surface… details that didn’t quite fit the story they had been given.

    And as the truth slowly came into focus, it revealed something far more calculated and far more disturbing than anyone expected.

    Episode 316 - Final Cut: Murder, Movie Sets - The Case of Aisling Tucker Moore

    An aspiring actress. A family feud. And a gun that was never supposed to go off.

    On a quiet property in Applegate, Oregon, a simple meeting turned into something irreversible. What followed was captured on video. Moments that would later be used to tell a very different story than the one first claimed.

    Years later, as reality and performance began to blur, one question remained.

    Where does the truth end… and the act begin?

    Between The Madness - Episode 9 - Deal With The Devil – Scott Kimball & The FBI

    A high speed chase through the California desert. A man who refused to stop. And a secret that should never have existed.

    Scott Kimball was trusted. An informant working alongside the FBI. But as people around him began to disappear, the stories he told were just believable enough to keep suspicion away.

    For years, it worked.

    And by the time investigators began to see the pattern, the truth was already buried.

    Retired FBI Special Agent Jonny Grusing joins us to tell the story from the inside.

    A ten-hour drive through the night to American Fork, Utah. A message that sounded like forgiveness. An unlocked door waiting at the end of it.

    Matthew Restelli believed he was going to bring his family home. Instead, he stepped into something already set in motion. Inside that home, nothing was as it seemed. Not the messages. Not the welcome. Not even the danger.

    Episode 314 - Mrs. Baker - The Murder of Fabio Sementilli

    On a quiet evening in Woodland Hills, California, a successful husband and father ran a simple errand and unknowingly walked straight into a murder plot already in motion.

    What first appeared to be a violent home invasion would unravel into something far more calculated. A secret affair. A staged crime scene. And a conspiracy that would take years to fully expose. Because sometimes, the most dangerous threats aren’t outside the home they are already inside.

    What began as a desperate search through a dark house turned into something far worse. By the time police arrived, four people were dead, and the man they believed was responsible had vanished.

    Episode 313 - Unholy Matrimony - The Murder of Jonathan Willette

    On a summer morning in Henderson, Nevada, a mother woke to the sound of dogs barking in the backyard. At first, it seemed strange. By sunrise, it would become something far worse.

    On a quiet December night in Myrtle Beach, a first date ended with promise and a future that never came.
