Mugshot Mysteries

Kathryn and Gabriel

Some stories are solved. Most aren’t.The interesting ones refuse to stay buried. Mugshot Mysteries is a deep-dive podcast hosted by Kathryn and Gabriel, exploring true crime, conspiracies, paranormal encounters, cults, historical disasters, government cover-ups, and the stories that keep people awake long after the episode ends. Every episode blends immersive storytelling, psychological analysis, dark humor, and the kind of rabbit holes that make you question whether history is telling the full truth. One week it’s serial killers. The next it’s MKUltra, haunted hospitals, vanished ships, UFO encounters, or deaths that still don’t make sense decades later. Kathryn brings the research. Gabriel brings the questions, the theories, and occasionally a comment so out of pocket it completely derails the conversation. Expect deep dives, unexpected tangents, and at least one moment where Kathryn has to stop and say, “Wow. Wow wow wow.” If it’s disturbing, unexplained, historically strange, or impossible to forget… it belongs in the lineup. New episodes every week.

    MKUltra: Nine Days - The Death of Frank Olson Frank Olson Pt. 1

    On the night of November 28th, 1953, a man named Frank Olson went out a tenth-floor window at the Statler Hotel in New York City. He was 43. He was a biological warfare scientist for the United States Army. He had a wife and three kids in Maryland. The official story, for the next 22 years, was suicide. The actual story is that nine days earlier, the CIA had spiked his drink with LSD without telling him. And when his behavior became inconvenient, they put him in a hotel room with a chemist, and at 2:30 in the morning he was on the sidewalk. Kathryn and Gabriel open a three-part series on MKUltra. Part 1 traces the program from Cold War panic through Operation Paperclip to the signing of MKUltra on April 13th, 1953. They profile Sidney Gottlieb — chemist, folk dancer, goat farmer, assassination program director — and John Mulholland, the magician the CIA hired to teach agents how to drug people without being seen. Then they follow Frank Olson: the Fort Detrick biological warfare scientist who saw things he wasn't supposed to see, got dosed at a cabin in western Maryland, and nine days later was dead on a New York sidewalk. In 1994, forensic examiner James Starrs exhumed Frank's body. He found a hematoma above the left eye inconsistent with a fall. His official conclusion: the evidence was, in his words, rankly and starkly suggestive of homicide. The Manhattan DA opened a homicide investigation in 1996. It is technically still open. The cause of death was changed from suicide to unknown. No arrest has ever been made. Frank's son Eric has been pulling the thread for fifty years. SOURCES: Church Committee Final Report, 1976.

    Waverly Hills Sanatorium: Inside America’s Most Haunted Hospital

    Six thousand people died in this building. The architecture was specifically designed so the living would never see the bodies leave. A five-hundred-foot underground tunnel. A motorized rail cart. A nickname nobody on staff gave it. They called it the body chute. Kathryn and Gabriel walk the full history of Waverly Hills Sanatorium, the tuberculosis epidemic that built it, the experimental treatments that defined it, and the sixty years of institutional suffering layered inside its walls. Then they lay out the actual science behind paranormal experience: infrasound, carbon monoxide, pareidolia, confirmation bias, terror management theory. Then they sit with the research that doesn't fully explain itself, Dr. Sam Parnia's AWARE studies on consciousness at clinical death, and the University of Virginia's fifty-seven-year database of verified past-life memory cases in children. Twenty-five hundred investigated. Seventy percent matched to a real deceased individual the child's family had never heard of. Then they walk the building. The chef still working the first-floor kitchen. The blonde woman on the second floor, described independently by strangers. Timmy on the third, who just wants to play. The fourth floor, where Troy Taylor saw his first ghost after hundreds of investigations. The Creeper, seven feet tall, no face, moves along the ceiling, never human. Room 502. The children on the roof, singing. The building was designed to hide death from the dying. Thousands of people now pay to walk inside it at night. Some of them find something. SOURCES: Jefferson County Board of Health death certificates, 1911–1961. Dr. J. Frank Stewart, former assistant medical director, on-record statements. Tandy, V. and Lawrence, T.R.

DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses tuberculosis, institutional death, experimental medical procedures, patient neglect, alleged suicide, and reported paranormal phenomena. The approximately 6,000 death figure is derived from filed death certificates and on-record medical staff statements. The 60,000 and 120,000 figures cited elsewhere are not supported by primary documentation. Room 502 details are presented as legend, with that distinction noted in the episode.

    The Zodiac Killer: 2,500 Suspects Pt. 4

    Two thousand five hundred people formally investigated. Fifty new names proposed every year. Fifty-seven years. Not one charge. Not one conviction. Not one answer. That is where Part 4 begins. Kathryn and Gabriel finally get to the names. Arthur Leigh Allen, the gravitational center of the investigation, the man eight filing cabinets were built around, whose DNA and fingerprints still came back negative. Lawrence Kane, identified by the only officer known to have seen the Zodiac face-to-face. Earl Van Best Jr., named by his own son in a New York Times bestseller, and then largely debunked. Gary Francis Poste, named by forty former law enforcement officials who spent years on nothing else. And then December 2025 drops a connection nobody saw coming: the Zodiac Killer and the Black Dahlia murder, linked by cipher, by keyword, by a dying man's sketch titled Elizabeth with the word Zodiac hidden in the shading. Two investigators. Two completely different suspects. One theory they both agree on. The game has been running for fifty-seven years. This is what it looks like from the inside.

    The Zodiac Killer: The Code Breakers Pt. 3

    December 11th, 2020. A software developer in Virginia, a mathematician in Melbourne, and a Belgian programmer get on a video call. Between them: a 340-character cipher unsolved since 1969. The FBI tried. The NSA tried. Fifty-one years of nothing. Then the characters begin to resolve. It says: "I hope you are having lots of fun trying to catch me." That is where Part 3 begins. Kathryn and Gabriel lay out the complete authenticated Zodiac communication record chronologically, go deep on what made the Z340 uncrackable for half a century, cover the Z13 cipher prefaced with "My name is" that has never been confirmed, and meet the people who tried to hold the investigation together. Detective Dave Toschi, eight filing cabinets and animal crackers in his jacket pocket. Cartoonist Robert Graysmith, who gave up his marriage to a book about someone never identified. The Zodiac did not have to threaten any of them. He just had to stay unsolved. Part 4 drops next Monday. The suspects. The names. Finally. SOURCES: Oranchak, David.

    The Zodiac Killer: Dear Editor Pt. 2

    August 8th, 1969. A schoolteacher named Donald Harden and his wife Bettye sit at their kitchen table in Salinas, California with a newspaper spread in front of them. On the front page is one-third of a 408-character coded message sent by a serial killer. The FBI has been staring at it for over a week. Bettye has a hunch: this man is an egomaniac, so the message probably starts with "I." And he is a killer, so the word "kill" is probably in there. Twenty hours later, a couple at a kitchen table has cracked what law enforcement, military codebreakers, and the NSA could not. The decoded message begins: "I like killing people because it is so much fun." That is where Part 2 begins. In this episode, Kathryn and Gabriel go deep on the letters. Over twenty pieces of correspondence sent to Bay Area newspapers, a celebrity attorney, and a journalist between 1969 and 1974. The Z408 and what it reveals about the Zodiac's psychology. The October 1969 letter containing a swatch of Paul Stine's bloody shirt and a threat to shoot children off a school bus, which put armed officers on Bay Area transit routes for weeks. The December 1969 Melvin Belli letter, in which the Zodiac appears to beg for help while simultaneously enclosing more bloody evidence. The Z13 cipher of April 1970, prefaced with the three words "My name is," which has never been definitively solved. Kathleen Johns and her infant daughter, two hours in a car with a man calmly announcing he planned to kill them. The Halloween card sent to Chronicle reporter Paul Avery: "Peek-a-boo, you are doomed." And then the silence. A postcard in 1971. A final authenticated letter in January 1974, praising The Exorcist as a satirical comedy and claiming a body count of thirty-seven. And then nothing. Part 3 drops next Monday.

    The Zodiac Killer: The Murders That Started It All Pt. 1

    September 27th, 1969. A man in a homemade black executioner hood walks out of the tree line at Lake Berryessa and approaches two college students picnicking on a small island. He ties them up. Then he stabs them. Then he drives 45 minutes to a payphone and calmly reports the crime to police. He was never identified. He was never caught. This was only attack number three. In Part 1 of their four-part series, Kathryn and Gabriel build the world the Zodiac operated in: the assassinations and riots that cracked America open in 1968, the Vietnam body count nobody could justify, and the Bay Area counterculture that turned San Francisco into the decade's pressure cooker. Then every confirmed attack, beginning to end. Two teenagers on their first ever date on Lake Herman Road. A Fourth of July ambush at Blue Rock Springs Park. The homemade hood, the pre-cut clothesline, and the twelve-inch knife at Berryessa. A cab driver shot in Presidio Heights while a single dispatcher error let the killer walk past two officers on foot. And the moment six words changed everything: "This is the Zodiac speaking."

    Chicago Tylenol Murders 1982: Sealed for Your Protection

    September 29, 1982. A twelve-year-old girl takes one Tylenol for a sore throat and never wakes up. Six more strangers die across Chicago suburbs in three days. Same brand. Different stores. No connection except a bottle on a shelf. Someone replaced acetaminophen with potassium cyanide at three times the lethal dose and returned the capsules to store shelves. No manifesto. No motive ever proven. No arrest. No conviction. One of America's most infamous unsolved cold cases. Every tamper-evident seal in America exists because of this crime. The Federal Anti-Tampering Act. The Johnson and Johnson recall. The complete redesign of consumer product packaging. Kathryn and Gabriel investigate all three suspects: Ted Kaczynski, whose early bombings hit the same Chicago suburbs. Roger Arnold, the warehouse worker whose life imploded under suspicion until he shot an innocent man dead. And James William Lewis, the prime suspect who demanded a million dollars to stop the Tylenol poisonings and died in 2023 without ever being charged. The case is officially open. The primary suspect is dead. Every time you fight with a tamper-evident seal, you are holding the scar. SOURCES: FBI Chicago Division. Tylenol Murders Investigation Files, 1982-2009.

    The Price of Beauty: The Assassination of Gianni Versace & the Making of a Serial Killer Pt. 2

    July 15th, 1997. Gianni Versace, the man who dressed Princess Diana, Madonna, and Tupac, who built the supermodel era, who chose the face of Medusa as his logo, is shot twice on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion by a 27-year-old serial killer from San Diego named Andrew Cunanan.  Cunanan was already four murders deep into the most sensational FBI manhunt of the 1990s. And the bureau had completely failed to stop him.  In Part One, Kathryn and Gabriel built the world before the crime: Versace's rise from Reggio di Calabria to global fashion empire, the 1990s celebrity worship culture that made both men possible, Andrew Cunanan's psychological unraveling, and what Baudrillard's simulacra theory has to do with a murder on Ocean Drive.  In Part Two, the killing begins. Five victims in three months. A hammer, a handgun, and a hacksaw. An architect shot at a lake. A real estate tycoon tortured in his home. A cemetery caretaker executed for his truck. And then Versace, gunned down on his own doorstep while the FBI had a thousand agents and still could not catch a man paying $29 a night under his real name. The murders, the escalation, the narcissistic envy framework, the manhunt failure, the houseboat, the final bullet, the autopsy result that reframes everything, and what the summer of 1997 did to those who survived long enough to bury him.  SOURCES: Orth, Maureen.
