A glamorous Fort Worth mansion. A bitter divorce. A masked gunman waiting in the dark.
When Priscilla Davis came home just after midnight, she never imagined the night would end in bloodshed. Before the sun came up, two people would be dead, two more wounded, and one of Texas’s richest men would be at the center of it all.
This week, we’re diving into the shocking murders of Stan Farr and Andrea Wilborn — a case filled with wealth, power, scandal, and a trial that left people questioning whether justice was ever really served.
If you think money can’t buy freedom… this story may change your mind.

In part 1, Ruby Franke went all-in on Jodi Hildebrandt, to the point of inviting her to move into the house. That’s when everything truly crossed the line.
Kevin is pushed out. Chad and Shari are cut off. The younger kids disappear from view. And people around them can tell something is wrong, but no one can get close enough to prove it.
Until August 2023, when a 12 year old boy gets out and asks a neighbor for help, setting off a truly unbelievable series of events, including a frantic search, a horrifying discovery inside Jodi’s home, and Ruby’s own words documenting what she believed she was doing.

This 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.

In 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?

Originally 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.

He 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.

This 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.

When 40-year-old Rosalio Gutierrez Jr. didn’t send his usual good-morning text, his girlfriend, Sadie, felt that little prickle of worry that’s impossible to ignore. By the time she reached his Kenosha apartment the next day, that worry had turned into something much darker. The patio door was open. Something red was splattered near the entrance. And inside… well, nothing could have prepared her for what she saw through the blinds.
Rosalio was nowhere to be found, although the living room told a story no one ever wants to walk into.
As detectives begin unraveling what happened inside that apartment, they are quickly pulled into a messy triangle involving a jealous ex, months of stalking behavior, hidden cell phones, late-night spying, and a van that suddenly smells suspiciously like bleach. When police discover a tiny speck of blood that changes everything, the investigation explodes in a whole new direction.
But for all the evidence, one thing is still missing: Rosalio.
