Almost Fiction

Crimes that are so diabolical that they seem like almost fiction. Based on real events, Almost Fiction is a Podcast where we try to imagine what it was like when some of the worst crimes occurred. Using facts, reports, and evidence, we attempt to reconstruct what the crime scenes might have looked like as the crimes were happening. So, join us each week as we peek behind the curtain at some of the worst scenes from some of the worst crimes ever committed. I’m Chase Ellerman, and welcome to… Almost Fiction.

    Almost Fiction Plus EP 4 Michael Duane Zach

    Some people are… magnetic, easily able to attach themselves to others, drawing them in with relative ease with their larger than life personalities.  There are just some people who can talk to anyone, make them feel at ease, quickly transitioning from stranger to acquaintance, to… friend.  SOURCES:  https://murderpedia.org/male.Z/z/zack-michael-duane.htm Michael Duane Zack vs State of Florida Case No. SC03-1374 Answer Brief of Appellee https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/10/03/michael-duane-zack-execution-lethal-injection-desantis-death-escambia/ Access ad-free episodes, bonus content, and get all of the 11:59 Media Podcast library!Access hours of extra content each week, exclusive merch, and early access to new podcasts.Visit https://1159plus.com or https://www.patreon.com/1159media

    Almost Fiction EP46 Catherine May Wood and Gwendolyn Gail Graham Part 1

    Catherine May Wood was… an enigma. She constantly complained about how unfair her life was right before bragging about how she was in complete control, not only of her life, but also of the lives of those around her. She just couldn't seem to make up her mind claiming that she was both a victim, and a maestro, a tragic character beset by life, while also being the puppeteer controlling everything in her domain. Then, Gwendolyn Gail Graham entered into her life, and seemingly all hell broke loose.
