[Re-Release + Update] Lindsay Shiver: The "Kill Him" Text and the Case That May Never Go to Trial

In the summer of 2023, police in the Bahamas were investigating a routine bar burglary when they stumbled onto something shocking . And that was WhatsApp messages on a suspect's phone containing a photo of Robert Shiver, a former Auburn football player and Georgia businessman, alongside a text that read: "Kill him." The messages were allegedly sent by his wife, Lindsay Shiver, a former beauty queen from south Alabama. Three years later, Lindsay has still not gone to trial. The case has been delayed over and over again — and now her U.S. attorney is arguing it should be thrown out entirely, claiming there is a "legally fatal" defect in the prosecution's case. He says the Bahamas may not even have jurisdiction to charge her because she was in the United States, not the Bahamas, on the day the alleged conspiracy took place.We originally covered this case in March 2026. We are re-releasing it today with a new update because this story is still very much unfolding, and the question we keep asking is: will Lindsay Shiver ever actually face a jury? We cover the full story: the marriage, the affair, the hitman, the accidental discovery, and where everything stands right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Leon Jacob and Valerie McDaniel: The Murder for Hire Plot

When successful Houston veterinarian Valerie McDaniel began dating Leon Jacob, they bonded over the problems they believed their former partners were causing them. Leon presented himself as a brilliant surgeon, but the reality was a trail of failed residencies, massive debt, and a history of stalking and abuse. Within weeks of their relationship starting, those private grievances escalated into a shocking murder-for-hire plot. In this episode, we dive into how Leon and Valerie arranged to have both of their exes killed, the undercover sting operation at an Olive Garden that brought them down, and the tragic aftermath of their arrests.

The Framing of Michelle Hadley: The Full Story Behind Netflix's A Toxic Love Story

After the release of Netflix's A Toxic Love Story, we knew it was time to bring this one back. We originally covered the case of Michelle Hadley in 2019, but the story has changed dramatically since then, and this week we are telling the whole thing from start to finish. In 2016, Michelle Hadley was accused of terrorizing her ex-fiance's pregnant wife and sending strangers to her home to carry out a violent sexual attack. The evidence appeared so overwhelming that Michelle spent 88 days in jail and faced the possibility of life in prison. But the case was never simply about a jealous ex and the woman who replaced her, and it would take years to uncover the role of the man connecting them. Following a federal investigation and a major 2023 conviction, we now know that US Marshal Ian Diaz was not just an innocent bystander to his new wife's diabolical framing plot. He was an active participant who used his federal position to help send an innocent woman to jail. Thank you to this week's sponsors!

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY: A Toxic Love Story: Michelle Hadley & The Netflix Documentary

The Netflix documentary A Toxic Love Story drops today, and it covers a case we first reported on way back in 2019 — the story of Michelle Hadley. If you remember it, you remember how wild it was. If you don't, buckle up. Michelle was Ian Diaz's ex-fiancée who was arrested, held on $1 million bail, and charged with stalking, harassment, and arranging the attempted rape of Ian's pregnant new wife, Angela. She was facing life in prison. The only problem? She didn't do any of it. What the documentary reveals goes far beyond what was known when we originally covered this case. The threatening emails, the Craigslist ads inviting strangers to attack Angela, the staged home invasion — all of it was orchestrated by Ian himself, a U.S. Marshal who used his position and insider knowledge to frame his ex while his new wife, who had faked a twin pregnancy and a cancer diagnosis, played along. A DOJ investigator eventually cracked the case wide open, and Ian was ultimately convicted and is now serving a 10-year federal prison sentence. Michelle, meanwhile, has rebuilt her life, went back to school, met someone, and had a daughter on the exact day Ian was convicted. We covered this story in 2019 when it ended with Angela's arrest. Now that we have the full picture, we have a brand new, fully updated episode dropping tomorrow, July 23rd, with all the research plus everything we learned from the documentary. Do not miss it.

The Murder of Jade Benning: A Fatal Date Night in Nashville

When twenty-four-year-old expecting mother Jade Benning suddenly collapsed during a quiet date night at her Nashville apartment, it was initially reported as a severe allergic reaction. But when paramedics arrived, the scene didn't match the story being told by her boyfriend, former NFL scout Blaise Taylor. Jade was rushed to the hospital where she was placed on life support, but both she and her unborn daughter, Ivy, tragically passed away days later. As investigators began uncovering what really happened inside her apartment on February 25th, 2023, they discovered a chilling timeline of events. A frantic final phone call overheard by Jade's best friend, a deleted photograph, and a toxicology report showing an extraordinarily high concentration of cocaine in Jade's system painted a terrifying picture. In this episode, we cover the story of a successful young chef, a highly respected college athlete turned NFL scout, and a devastating betrayal driven by an unwillingness to accept a future he didn't want.

The Snowden House Murders: A Legacy of Forgiveness and Fatal Betrayal

In 1996, the quiet community of Horseshoe Lake, Arkansas was shattered by the brutal double murder of seventy-five-year-old Sally Snowden McKay and her fifty-two-year-old nephew, Joseph Lee Baker. The historic Snowden House, a landmark family estate that had belonged to Sally's family for generations, was set on fire to cover up the crime. Investigators eventually arrested fifteen-year-old Travis Lewis, a local teenager who lived across the field in a home his family rented from Sally. Travis eventually pleaded guilty to the murders and was sentenced to twenty-eight and a half years in prison, though he never publicly admitted to pulling the trigger. Decades later, Sally's daughter, Martha McKay, made a decision that shocked her family and friends. A practicing Buddhist who believed deeply in redemption and forgiveness, Martha began writing to Travis in prison. She visited him, supported his parole, and eventually hired him to work as a handyman at the newly restored Snowden House after his release in 2018. For a while, the arrangement seemed to work, but when a large sum of cash went missing from the home, Martha suspected Travis of stealing it and fired him. On the morning of March 25th, 2020, an alarm was triggered at the Snowden House. When deputies arrived, they discovered the back door open and a man fleeing the scene. The pursuit ended at the edge of Horseshoe Lake, where the suspect jumped into the water and drowned. Inside the home, deputies found sixty-three-year-old Martha bludgeoned and stabbed to death. The man who drowned was Travis. In a heartbreaking twist of fate, the very man Martha had forgiven and tried to help rebuild his life had returned to the Snowden House to take hers.

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY: Worst Neighbor Ever: Midwest Meltdown

This week we are covering episode two of the Netflix series Worst Neighbor Ever, and we will warn you upfront, his one is more shocking than it is funny. We are in Richmond Hill, Georgia, a tight-knit subdivision where neighbors gathered on driveways, kids rode bikes together, and families ate dinner at each other's houses multiple nights a week. It was the kind of neighborhood everyone dreams about, until the night of November 12th, 2012, when a massive explosion leveled a house on the block and killed two of its beloved residents. The house belonged to Moncy, a nurse who had lived in the neighborhood for years. Investigators quickly realized this was no gas leak. The valves had been deliberately removed, the microwave had been rigged with a programmable timer, and Moncy and her boyfriend Mark Leonard had been at a casino when it all went off. What followed was a murder investigation that revealed they had attempted this three times before, all for a $300,000 insurance payout. Dion and Jennifer, the couple next door who had done nothing wrong, never made it out. It is a devastating story about greed, a neighborhood destroyed, and two people who are never coming back.

Poisoned for a Fortune That Never Existed: The Murder of Steven Riley Jr.

In the fall of 2023, Steven Edward Riley Jr. was living in Minot, North Dakota with his longtime partner, Ina Kenoyer, when he received a letter claiming he was the sole heir to a $30 million estate left behind by a relative he had never met. For months, Steven communicated with a man named Richard Eglin, who identified himself as the estate's attorney, as the two worked toward a meeting that would finalize the inheritance. On September 3rd, 2023, Steven collapsed after attending a series of airport meetings where Eglin never appeared. Two days later, he was dead. His official cause of death was ethylene glycol poisoning. Antifreeze. As investigators began piecing together what happened, witnesses came forward with disturbing information. Several people told police that Ina had previously talked about poisoning Steven with antifreeze specifically, and she had already begun trying to sell his belongings before she even knew he had died. What followed was one of the most contradictory police interviews investigators had ever conducted, full of shifting timelines, bizarre theories, and a woman who could not stop talking even after she asked for a lawyer. But the detail that makes this case truly unsettling is what investigators discovered about the inheritance itself. The $30 million fortune that Steven believed was about to change his life almost certainly never existed at all. He was not murdered over a fortune. He was murdered over the illusion of one.
