Mama Mystery isn't your average true crime podcast. Every Tuesday, your host Kelly rips into the cases that keep people up at night: the headline-grabbers everyone thinks they know, and the overlooked ones that deserve a hell of a lot more attention. Backed by real research (not just Wikipedia and vibes), Kelly breaks down evidence, picks apart theories, and calls out the details that don't add up — all in a voice that feels less "true crime lecture" and more "your friend who's read every case file." Her husband Austin crashes the mic often enough to keep things honest and occasionally hilarious. This isn't storytelling for shock value — it's for the victims who deserve to be remembered right and the listeners who want the truth, not the theatrics. Subscribe, get obsessed, and join a community that takes true crime as seriously as it deserves.

    TWD : Nurse Affair Murder, Teacher Killed in Senior Prank, Fake Cancer Insulin Trial & ISIS Bomb Plot

    This week’s Weekly Docket covers six major true crime cases making headlines right now. First, we break down the arrest of Florida nurse Rene Perez in the brutal killing of his coworker and affair partner Linda Campitelli, a case investigators say was solved through WhatsApp messages, surveillance footage, and cellphone data. Then we head to Hall County, Georgia, where beloved teacher and coach Jason Hughes was killed during a senior prank gone tragically wrong. We get into the “Junior-Senior Wars” context, the charges against student Jayden Wallace, and the emotional response from Hughes’ family. Next, we cover the Utah trial of nurse Meggan Sundwall, who is accused of convincing her friend Kacee Terry that she had terminal cancer before allegedly killing her with an insulin overdose in what prosecutors describe as a years-long manipulation scheme. We also discuss the heartbreaking case out of Queensland, Australia, where Kate Paterson and her 1-year-old daughter April were found dead after the child’s father, Blake Seers, was hit by a car while fleeing. From there, we move to Queens, New York, where Rupchand Simboo, 75, is accused of murdering his 34-year-old wife Salisha Ali and scattering her dismembered remains across multiple locations over several months. And finally, we break down the federal terrorism case involving Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, the two Pennsylvania teens accused of planning an ISIS-inspired bomb attack outside Gracie Mansion in New York City.
