    008 | Charles Manson and MKUltra

    What if Charles Manson didn’t act alone? In this episode of Here’s Our Alibi, we break down the Netflix documentary Chaos: The Manson Murders, which explores a controversial theory linking Manson to CIA mind-control experiments known as MK Ultra. Rather than retelling the infamous murders, we focus on the deeper questions the documentary raises: How did Manson gain such extreme psychological control over his followers? What role did LSD, power, and vulnerability play? And where does personal responsibility end — and manipulation begin? We discuss the Haight-Ashbury clinic, Manson’s parole meetings, psychiatrist Jolly West, and the ethics of government experimentation, while also grounding the conversation in the undeniable truth that real people were brutally murdered. This episode isn’t about excusing violence — it’s about examining influence, identity loss, and how dangerous belief systems take hold. 🎧 Listener discretion advised — this episode discusses violence, cult dynamics, and psychological manipulation.

    007 | Long Island Serial Killer Deep Dive: How Shannon Gilbert Exposed Everything

    In this week’s episode, we’re unpacking Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer, Netflix’s chilling documentary that begins with a frantic 911 call from Shannon Gilbert and spirals into one of the most disturbing crime investigations in modern history. We walk you through Shannon’s final movements, the failures that stalled her search, and how a missing-person case accidentally uncovered the Gilgo Four — four young women found wrapped along a lonely stretch of Gilgo Beach. From there, things only get stranger: more victims, a marsh no one bothered to search for 19 months, the Suffolk County power players who kept the FBI out, and the corruption that may have allowed a serial killer to hide in plain sight for years. We also dive into the case’s most heated debate: Were the Gilgo Beach murders the work of one killer evolving over time… or multiple predators using the same dumping corridor? Victim advocates, law enforcement, and behavioral experts all disagree — and we get into why. And yes… we talk about Rex Heuermann, the man now charged with several of the Gilgo murders, how investigators finally connected him to the case, and what this means for the victims who still deserve answers. If you’ve watched Gone Girls (or even if you haven’t), this episode gives you a clear, compassionate, and sometimes jaw-dropping breakdown of the case, the victims, the corruption, and the lingering mysteries surrounding one of America’s most devastating serial-killer investigations.

In this episode, Stephanie and Ben break down the baffling case of Nathan Carman — the man linked to the shooting death of his grandfather and the disappearance of his mother at sea.

We unpack: The 2013 murder of millionaire developer John Chakalos The mysterious 2016 boating trip where Linda Carman vanished Why police zeroed in on Nathan Autism, interrogation, and how neurodivergent people are misread by law enforcement The inheritance battles that fueled family suspicion Nathan’s confusing behaviors, red flags, and contradictions The shocking end: Nathan’s death by suicide before trial And yes — Stephanie drops a theory that might blow your mind. If you’re into unsolved mysteries, psychological complexity, or cases where every theory is possible, you’re going to want to listen to this one straight through.

    004 |The Case That Got Buried: Fox Hollow Farm, Herb Baumeister & the Missing Men

    In this episode, we crack open one of the most haunting true-crime cases of the 90s — the Fox Hollow Farm murders and the alleged serial killer Herb Baumeister. After watching The Fox Hollow Murders documentary on Hulu, we dig into the case’s darkest corners: the thousands of bone fragments found on the property, the missing men from Indianapolis’ gay community, the devastating law-enforcement failures, and the societal stigma of the AIDS crisis that shaped how these victims were ignored. We talk through the strange and unsettling parts of this story — from Baumeister’s mannequins and the skull his child found, to the unresolved and complicated role of survivor Mark Goodyear. We also highlight the heroes bringing real justice today: Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison and investigator Steven Ainsworth, who are finally identifying remains using modern DNA and genealogy technology. If you’ve watched the Fox Hollow Farm documentary, or you’re just now hearing about Baumeister, this episode breaks down the case, the bias, the missed opportunities, and why this story still matters. Topics we cover: Overview of Herb Baumeister & Fox Hollow Farm Names of the identified victims Law-enforcement negligence & anti-gay bias in the 80s–90s Impact of the AIDS epidemic on missing-persons reporting The unsettling house, mannequins, and family dynamics The complex interviews with Mark Goodyear The renewed investigation led by Jeff Jellison & Steven Ainsworth If you’ve seen the documentary, let us know your thoughts — especially about Goodyear and the new DNA efforts.

    Dennis Rader — the BTK Killer — lived a double life as a husband, father, and church leader while secretly committing ten brutal murders over two decades. In this episode of Here’s Our Alibi, Stephanie and Ben unpack the documentary BTK: Confessions of a Serial Killer, which follows forensic psychologist Dr. Katherine Ramsland’s years-long interviews with Rader behind bars. They explore the psychology behind his crimes, how control and ego drove his every move, and the moral tightrope Ramsland walked in order to get him talking. Along the way, they debate whether serial killers should ever be given a platform, how Rader’s manipulations mirror other notorious killers like Bundy and Kemper, and why his “moral code” was as delusional as it was disturbing. Topics include: The forensic psychologist’s ethical dilemma BTK’s need for attention and validation The illusion of control in his family and community life Nature vs. nurture: was he born evil or made? What Mindhunter got wrong about Rader Why feeding a killer’s ego can continue the damage 🎙️ Here’s Our Alibi is a couple’s true crime podcast where Stephanie and Ben crack open documentaries, cases, and psychological themes with curiosity, candor, and a dash of dark humor.
