    PART 1: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2Rf3QTJ2LDK8Uhp9MiqaNP?si=Nggc6OMpQOqQe2a9lz-5bQ&utm_source=copy-link ============================================= In December 2022, police arrested a twenty-eight-year-old criminology PhD student for the murders of four University of Idaho students. Charging him was one thing. Convicting him was going to be another. What followed was two and a half years of legal warfare. The state wanted the death penalty. And Bryan Kohberger, was going to make them work for every inch of it.He fought the DNA. He fought the phone records. He fought the car, the eyewitness, the indictment itself. He fought to move the trial three hundred miles. He fought to have the death penalty ruled unconstitutional in his case.But everything was Denied.By the summer of 2025, he was out of arguments, out of appeals, and weeks away from a trial that could have ended with him in front of a firing squad.And then, with almost no warning, he told an Ada County courtroom. This is the full legal journey of Bryan Kohberger. Every motion, every ruling, the deal that stopped the trial, and the four families who had to sit and listen to it.And then, in July 2026, from a maximum security prison, he surprised everyone once again.He said he wanted to take it all back. That he had been lied to. That he was innocent.So how does a man confess to four murders, and then, a year later, say he never did it?And will Bryan Kohberger get the trial he now says he wants? ============================================= 📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com ============================================= 📚 Sources for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ht1nWObTQDXejYpIIvTY01fb3f7afnJa/view?usp=share_link

    Who Brutally Murdered Michelle Leng?

    On the morning of Sunday 24 April 2016, a group of tourists were exploring the rugged coastline of the Munmorah State Conservation Area on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, when something caught their attention below the lookout at Snapper Point. As the powerful surf surged through the blowhole, the object repeatedly surfaced before disappearing beneath the white foam. At first, they couldn’t tell what they were looking at. Then it rolled over, and the horrifying truth became unmistakable. It was the naked body of a young woman, floating face down as the waves dragged her violently across the jagged rocks. Police were called immediately, and a dangerous recovery operation began along the slippery coastline. A rescue helicopter went down to retrieve the body. Detectives quickly ruled out any possibility of an accident. The young woman had been stabbed almost 40 times, with the fatal wound to her throat. They believed she had been deliberately left there, not carried in by the sea. She had no identification, no phone, no bag, and nothing to reveal who she was or how she had ended up on a stretch of coastline. It would take homicide detectives days just to learn her name and to find out who had murdered her. And when they finally did, the answer was far closer to home than anyone could have imagined. ============================================= 📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com ============================================= 📚 Sources for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13sl8HgJyPmexcuUXWkemOjJ4RXOdMLdO/view?usp=share_link

    Leonard Lawson: The Comic Book Killer

    In Australia in the early fifties, one man had created his own superhero. Leonard Keith Lawson was barely in his mid-twenties when he gave the country The Lone Avenger — a masked Wild West vigilante, riding out of the fictional town of Redrock to make things right. Children swore the Lone Avenger's Code. They wore the replica gun belts. They queued at newsagents for the next issue. At its peak, the comic was selling seventy thousand copies an issue across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. He was twenty-six years old, married with three children, and one of the most recognised names on Australian news-stands. But underneath all of it, something dark had been growing. Something that had been there for a long time — waiting. And on the morning of the seventh of May, 1954, it finally got out. Five young women drove into the bush with Leonard Lawson that day. What happened in those trees would change everything — and would end with Leonard standing in a courtroom, a death sentence hanging over his head. But the sentence didn't hold. After seven years, he walked free. He was out for just five months, and In that time, he would take two young lives — and set in motion a chain of events that would claim a third. This is the story of Leonard Keith Lawson. The comic book killer. ============================================= 📩 For business inquiries: ellimacproductions@gmail.com ============================================= 📚 Sources for this episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1J6vSx1GsVzts1o-ZT_-MKMYGmesaTZ2g/view?usp=share_link
