    The Iran War Is Bigger Than Iran: How Money, Oil & Power Led Us Here

    The war with Iran may be happening on the battlefield, but Pete argues the real story is much bigger: oil, sovereign debt, the U.S. dollar and the struggle for global financial power. In Part 1 of this Deadly Intentions deep dive, Bubba and Pete go back through the economic and geopolitical history that led to the current conflict. They break down why the Strait of Hormuz matters to the American economy, how U.S. sovereign debt became a potential vulnerability, and how the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency became intertwined with oil and American power. From Bretton Woods and the end of the gold standard to the petrodollar, SWIFT sanctions, BRICS, China’s CIPS system, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Panama and the battle to build alternatives to the dollar, Pete lays out the larger system he believes connects what otherwise look like separate events. Bubba approaches it from the perspective most listeners will have: How did all of this connect, why has the conflict lasted far longer than expected, and what could it mean for Americans if the economic system underneath U.S. power begins to change? This is Part 1. Part 2 continues the story from where this episode leaves off.

    Inside the Sinaloa Cartel: The Network Bigger Than El Chapo

    Most Americans hear “the cartel” and picture one massive criminal organization ruled by a single kingpin. The reality is far more complicated. In this episode of Deadly Intentions, Bubba and Pete break down the structure of Mexico’s cartel system using the Sinaloa Cartel as the central example. Pete explains why the idea of one unified “cartel” is misleading, how Sinaloa became so closely associated with El Chapo, and how multiple organizations, factions and power centers operated beneath the name Americans came to recognize.  They trace the evolution of the drug trade from the Colombian cartels of the 1980s into the Mexican trafficking networks that followed, including how enforcement efforts changed routes, markets and the economics of the narcotics business. Pete also explains how dramatically cocaine trafficking expanded during the war-on-drugs era, describing a rise from roughly four tons per month in 1982 to 80 tons per month by 1997.  And one of the biggest revelations is that the Sinaloa organization Americans traditionally thought of as one cartel fractured during a 2024 internal conflict, leaving separate factions that are still often grouped together under the familiar Sinaloa name.  El Chapo became the face of Sinaloa. This episode examines just how much bigger the network really was.

    Inside the Hunt for Israel Keyes, America’s Most Elusive Killer

    Israel Keyes built his crimes around distance, randomness and preparation. He avoided a consistent victim profile, traveled far from home, used rental cars and cash, and buried preassembled murder kits across the country. But the Samantha Koenig case forced Keyes to break his own rules, creating the trail that ultimately led investigators to a white Ford Focus in Texas. In this episode of Deadly Intentions, Pete and Bubba trace Israel Keyes from his isolated upbringing and early attacks through the Common Grounds abduction, the ransom scheme, his capture, FBI interrogations and the disturbing details surrounding Bill and Lorraine Currier. They also examine the secret deal Keyes attempted to negotiate, his courtroom escape attempt, the cryptic 11-skull drawing found after his death and the unanswered questions surrounding his other possible victims.

    Golden State Killer: The Cop Who Evaded Capture for 44 Years

    Joseph James DeAngelo was a police officer with intimate knowledge of patrol routes, burglary investigations and the limitations of an analog justice system. That knowledge helped the man later known as the Golden State Killer evade capture for 44 years. In Episode 2 of Deadly Intentions, Bubba and Pete trace DeAngelo’s progression from the Visalia Ransacker’s break-ins to the East Area Rapist and Original Night Stalker attacks. They examine how his police and military background shaped his methods, how Michelle McNamara’s obsessive investigation and I’ll Be Gone in the Dark renewed public attention, and how forensic genealogy finally narrowed thousands of possible relatives to one suspect. Investigators ultimately used public genetic databases, family-tree research and DNA recovered from DeAngelo’s car-door handle to confirm the match before his April 2018 arrest. Content warning: This episode discusses sexual assault, murder, kidnapping and other violent crimes. Follow Deadly Intentions on Spotify for new true-crime investigations with Bubba and Pete.

    How the Gilgo Beach Investigation Led to Rex Heuermann

    For years, the Gilgo Beach murders remained one of the most disturbing unsolved cases in America. Then investigators began connecting a series of seemingly unrelated clues to Rex Heuermann, a respected New York architect, husband and father who appeared to be living an ordinary life. In the first episode of Deadly Intentions, Bubba and Pete follow the evidence trail that changed the investigation: witness descriptions, a green Chevrolet Avalanche, burner phones, digital searches and DNA recovered from a discarded pizza crust. They also examine the search of Heuermann’s home and the deleted planning document authorities described as a “murder matrix.” How did investigators finally connect the evidence, and how could someone accused of such horrifying crimes appear to hide in plain sight for so long? Deadly Intentions examines major criminal cases, overlooked evidence, investigative failures and the psychology behind the people at the center of them.
