    AFTER DARK: Iron Mike

    In 1933, Michael Malloy was a regular at a Bronx speakeasy when a group of men decided he was worth more dead than alive. But Malloy kept surviving. The newspapers would call him Iron Mike. The man who wouldn’t die. The truth was uglier.

    Jesse James Hollywood wanted to be feared. In the San Fernando Valley drug scene, fear came cheap — a little money, a little swagger, a few friends willing to do what they were told. Then a debt got personal. And fifteen-year-old Nick Markowitz was pulled into a world where everyone wanted to act dangerous, but no one wanted to be responsible.

    Portbou, Spain. 1990. A young woman is found hanging from a pine tree above the sea. No passport. No money. No name.

    76. After The Storm

    New Orleans, 2005. Hurricane Katrina is moving toward the city, and two French Quarter bartenders decide to stay. Zack Bowen and Addie Hall ride out the storm together, falling in love inside an emptied-out Quarter where the lights are off, the rules are loose, and survival starts to feel like freedom. But when the power comes back on, reality returns.  One year later, Zack jumps from the roof of the Omni Royal Orleans with a note sealed in plastic in his pocket. And that note leads police back to an apartment on North Rampart Street… where the story of the couple who stayed becomes something much darker.

    74. Lost Prophet

    He was the frontman of a band people loved. Famous. Charismatic. Familiar. But behind the image was something far more disturbing — a pattern of manipulation, abuse, and unchecked access that would eventually expose one of the most horrifying cases in modern music history. This is the story of Ian Watkins. A predator hidden in plain sight. And the warning signs too many people failed to stop.
