    Diane Downs- Part 2

    In Part Two of our three-part true crime series on Diane Downs, the story takes a darker and more obsessive turn. After the events of Part One, Diane’s life begins to spiral around a single obsession — a coworker named Nick Knickerbocker. What starts as a workplace affair quickly grows into something far more complicated, pulling multiple lives into a storm of manipulation, jealousy, and emotional chaos. As Diane moves from Arizona to Oregon, her fixation on Nick intensifies. Relationships fracture, tensions escalate, and the instability surrounding her life deepens. Behind the scenes, diary entries reveal an increasingly obsessive mindset, while those closest to her begin to see unsettling patterns in her behavior. Then one quiet spring night in 1983, everything changes. A frantic mother races to a hospital in Oregon claiming a stranger shot her children on a dark roadside. As investigators begin asking questions, small details in Diane’s story start to raise troubling doubts. In this episode, we explore the complicated relationships, emotional turmoil, and events leading directly to the night that would shock the nation. Part Two dives deeper into the psychology, obsession, and unraveling life of Diane Downs — and sets the stage for the investigation that follows.

    Butte's Dimple Knees Sex Scandal

    Butte, Montana. The Berkeley Pit. The Copper Kings. And beneath it all — a city fueled by brothels, bribes, and backroom deals. In the 1960s, madam Beverly Snodgrass ran two of Butte’s most notorious houses of prostitution — until her affair with a powerful judge exposed a massive payoff scheme involving police officers, attorneys, and city officials. What followed was one of Montana’s biggest investigative journalism bombshells: the Great Falls Tribune’s explosive 8-part exposé that ignited a statewide anti-vice crusade. From 14 Wyoming Street to threats of assassination, from dynamite attacks to secret hotel registrations, this is the true story of Butte’s “Dimple Knees” sex scandal — and the woman who risked everything to blow the lid off corruption in Butte America.

    A Valentine for His Mistress- The Valentines Day Murder of Denise Leuthold

    💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔 On Valentine’s Day 2013, Denise Leuthold spent the morning the way she always did — making a special holiday breakfast for her children, exchanging cards with her husband, and heading into an ordinary afternoon. Hours later, she would be found shot inside her home. At first, investigators believed a burglary had gone wrong. But inside the house, the scene didn’t add up — and a handwritten note uncovered in Denise’s planner would change the direction of the case entirely. As detectives dug deeper into the life of the devoted missionary couple, they uncovered a secret relationship, a carefully constructed alibi, and a motive chillingly tied to the holiday itself. This episode explores faith, betrayal, and the calculated decisions behind a murder planned for the most symbolic day of the year — the Valentine’s Day murder of Denise Leuthold.

    The Serial Killer They Let Go | Arthur Shawcross- The Genesee River Serial Killer

    🚨Trigger Warning/Disclaimer🚨 This episode discusses real events involving extreme violence, sexual assault, and crimes against children. Some material may be deeply disturbing. This story is told to examine systemic failures and honor the victims — not to glorify the perpetrator.  Please take care while listening. Arthur Shawcross—also known as the Genesee River Killer—was convicted of murdering two children in 1972. After serving just fourteen years, he was declared “rehabilitated,” his criminal record sealed, and quietly released back into society without notifying local police. Less than a year later, women began disappearing along the Genesee River in Rochester, New York. Over the next two years, Shawcross murdered twelve women before finally being caught standing over the body of one of his victims. This episode examines not only Shawcross’s crimes, but the systemic failures that allowed a known child killer to walk free—and kill again. From ignored psychiatric warnings to sealed records and institutional denial, this is a case study in how monsters slip through the cracks.
