    Missing Scientists: Your Brain Is the Conspiracy | Pt. 2

    A Substack post became a federal probe in eight weeks. That's faster than most podcast episodes get edited. So what actually happened — and what does it mean that it can happen again? In Part 2, Tyrella and Nikita move from the individual cases and start interrogating the system. They break down apophenia — your brain's tendency to find patterns even where none exist — and trace exactly how one influencer newsletter traveled from fringe post to White House press briefing to multi-agency FBI investigation. They also cover the cases that genuinely do deserve more scrutiny, including Amy Eskridge's deeply unsettling prediction about her own death. The verdict: overwhelmingly apophenia. But the mechanism that got us here? That's the real story. ⚠️ This episode discusses suicide and harassment of grieving families. If you're struggling, call or text 988.

    Missing Scientists: She Predicted Her Own Death. Then It Happened. | Pt. 1

    A plasma physicist texted a former spy: "If you ever see a report that I killed myself — I most definitely did not." Then that's exactly what the report said. In under eight weeks, one Substack post turned into a White House briefing, an FBI probe, and a House Oversight Committee inquiry. The story: 11 deaths and disappearances of US government-connected scientists. But is it a pattern — or a story about how the internet decides what gets investigated? Tyrella and Nikita go case by case through every name on the list, separating what's verified from what's speculation, and noting which families have asked to stay out of the conspiracy framing entirely. Part 2 out now for Patrons. ⚠️ This episode discusses suicide, gun violence, and unresolved disappearances. If you're struggling, call or text 988. Want access to our first 45 episodes? Grab em here!

    Kouri Richins Trial Pt. 2 'If He Could Just Go Away' — The Texts That Destroyed Her

    In the conclusion of our "Best of the Trial" series, Tyrella and Nikita dive into the most emotional and bizarre moments from the Kouri Richins courtroom. We start with Robert Grossman, the "boyfriend" whose testimony began with a moment so unusual that Judge Mrazik had to halt proceedings to explain the concept of "the whole truth." We break down the devastating texts, the $25,000 life insurance payment, and the chilling question Kouri asked him just two weeks after her husband's death. Then, we look at the strategic battle over the "Drug Chain." Even with a witness who couldn't remember his own interview, the prosecution had a secret weapon: location data. Highlights: The moment the courtroom went silent during the oath. Why the defense’s cross-examination of the housekeeper might have been their biggest mistake. Tyrella’s "official" review of Judge Richard Mrazik (the man with the voice of an angel). Where sentencing stands Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Kouri Richins Trial: Wildest Moments & The Unshakeable PI (Part 1)

    Episode Title: Kouri Richins Trial: The PI Who Cracked the Case (Part 1) Kouri Richins was convicted of murdering her husband, Eric, with five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in a Moscow Mule she made for him.

In Part 1 of our "Best of the Trial" series, we aren’t just rehashing the timeline—we’re talking about the witnesses who actually made the case. From a Private Investigator with a GoPro and a fused neck who became the defense's worst nightmare, to the heartbreaking testimony of a best friend who realized she was actually a target.

Todd Gabler, PI: Why a man with 34 years of defense experience ended up being the State’s star witness.

    The Brenizer Family Murders [Bruce Brenizer]

    In 1991 in a small, rural town in Wisconsin, five members of the Brenizer/Berentson family left their home to go shopping.  When they didn’t return, 15-year-old Bruce was concerned that his father, stepmother, and sisters were missing.  As the investigation unfolded, rumors of an ax murderer or satanic worship were afoot, but when the truth was revealed, it was much worse than anyone in this small town could imagine.

    Solved Cold Case: The Murder of Danni Houchins

    In September of 1996, 15-year-old Danielle “Danni” Houchins was found lifeless and face down in a marshy area in Belgrade, Montana. The local sheriff’s department ruled her cause of death as drowning and her manner of death as undetermined. The sheriff told the press that there were no indications of foul play, despite autopsy findings showing the exact opposite. For 24 years, Danni’s case continued to grow cold, despite her family’s insistence that her death wasn’t an accident until a retired LAPD detective entered the chat and refused to quit.  Want access to our first 45 episodes?
