    Brennan Barrington Runs for Ohio’s 15th District: His Vision for Safer Communities | Wicked Crimes

    Episode Title Brennan Barrington on Crime, Missing People & Accountability | Wicked Crimes Uncovered Episode Description When someone goes missing, a family needs answers. When violence tears through a neighborhood, residents deserve more than another promise. And when someone asks for your vote, the community deserves a chance to ask difficult questions. On this episode of Wicked Crimes Uncovered—where we uncover the real, raw, and uncut—host James Copas welcomes Brennan Barrington for an interview centered on public safety, community concerns, and the responsibility that comes with seeking public office. The conversation starts with the person behind the campaign: Who is Brennan Barrington? Where does he come from? What experiences shaped his outlook, and what issues does he want to tackle? From there, the interview turns toward the questions at the heart of Wicked Crimes’ reporting: How do we prevent violence, support families searching for missing loved ones, confront trafficking and drug-related harm, and hold public officials accountable for results? The questions driving this interview include: Crime and neighborhood safety: What should meaningful crime prevention look like, and how should communities measure whether an approach is working?Missing people and their families: What support do families need when someone disappears, and how can communication between agencies and the public improve?Human trafficking: Where should prevention, public education, investigations, and survivor support fit into a broader public-safety agenda?Drugs and overdose: How should leaders address drug distribution, addiction, treatment access, and the harm families experience?Young people and prevention: What can help reach young people before violence, exploitation, or substance use changes their lives?Trust and accountability: How can communities demand effective law enforcement while protecting civil rights and strengthening public trust?Campaign priorities: What would Brennan make a priority if elected, what could he realistically influence, and how should voters evaluate his follow-through?These questions matter beyond an election. They affect parents trying to keep their children safe, families waiting for a phone call, survivors rebuilding their lives, and neighborhoods looking for lasting change. The interview also makes room to get to know Brennan beyond the campaign through lighter questions about his interests, favorite teams, and life outside politics. Watch or listen, then join the conversation: What public-safety issue should elected officials be answering for in your community? What would you ask Brennan Barrington?

    The Christmas Eve Confession: Justice for Ariana

    Episode Description: Justice for Ariana Ptarcinski"I did this." On Christmas Eve 2021, the Ptarcinski family’s world was shattered. Ariana Ptarcinski, a vibrant 20-year-old with dreams of becoming a nutritionist, was found in her bedroom with a fatal stab wound to her neck. Despite her boyfriend, Ramon Durst, allegedly walking into her parents' room holding her by her hair and confessing, "I did this," the case remains unsolved. In this episode of Wicked Crimes Uncovered, we explore why a homicide with a clear suspect and a recorded "guilty mind" resulted in no arrests. Key Points of the Investigation:The Ignored Evidence: While sitting in a patrol car for 74 minutes, Durst made a series of spontaneous, incriminating statements, including: "Why did I do that, something so brutal and violent?" and "Do you know what federal prison I will go to?"The "Mens Rea" Debate: We break down why the State Attorney’s Office claimed there was a lack of "criminal intent" (Mens Rea), despite expert John Baeza arguing that the ignored recordings prove the exact opposite.Media Silence: A look at why knife crimes often fly under the radar of national media compared to firearm incidents, and how that lack of scrutiny may have impacted Ariana’s quest for justice.A Family Betrayed: Ariana’s parents, Edward and Judy, speak out about the agonizing two years they’ve spent being treated "like the enemy" by the system meant to protect them."Evil isn't just born; it's built. We're here to find the blueprint." Is this a case of investigative apathy or a legal loophole gone wrong? Join us as we uncover the truth behind the death of Ariana Ptarcinski.
