    Season 5, Episode 17: Frauke Liebs

    Season 5, Episode 17: Frauke Liebs

    Today’s case is one of the most bizarre in Germany’s crime history. 
    It’s June 2006 and Germany is hosting the World Cup, with millions of people out and about watching the games. 
    On June 20th, Frauke Liebs, 21, disappeared without a trace after walking home from an Irish Pub in downtown Paderborn. What’s so disturbing about this, is that Frauke still sent mysterious text messages and called almost every day for a week, before they abruptly stopped.
    Her heavily decomposed body was found a few months later, with no leads as to what happened to Frauke.
    If you have information about Frauke’s murder, please call Kriminalpolizei Bielefeld: +49-0521-5450

    🔒 Judgy After Dark, Episode 43: The true story behind Dirty John: Betty Broderick

    🔒 Judgy After Dark, Episode 43: The true story behind Dirty John: Betty Broderick

    Subscriber-only episode
    "I realize now that he was right when he said our battles would continue until one of us was dead."


    These are the words from a betrayed wife whose husband seemed to be as bent on her destruction as she was determined to get him back from another woman who took him away.


    Betty Broderick’s life became notorious due to a highly publicized case in the late 1980s. She was married to Dan Broderick, a successful attorney, with whom she had four children. The couple's marriage ended in a contentious and acrimonious divorce in the late 1980s, after Dan left Betty for his assistant, Linda Kolkena.

    Betty's behavior following the divorce became increasingly erratic and obsessive. She repeatedly harassed her ex-husband and his new wife, even after multiple restraining orders were issued against her. In 1989, Betty Broderick broke into her ex-husband's home and fatally shot both Daniel and Linda as they slept.

    The case received widespread media attention and became the subject of books, a TV movie, and a television series. Betty Broderick was convicted of two counts of second-degree murder in 1991 and is still serving a sentence of 32 years to life in prison. Her case continues to fascinate people due to its complex dynamics of marriage, divorce, and revenge.

    🔒 Judgy After Dark, Episode 41: Charles Schmid the Pied Piper of Tucson

    Subscriber-only episode
    Today’s episode is wild. We’re talking about Charles "Smitty" Schmid, a charismatic sociopath who compensated for his below average height by stuffing his cowboy boots with rags and crushed beer cans, wore pancake makeup, and sported a fake beauty mark on one cheek. He murdered three teenaged girls and buried their bodies in the desert outside of his hometown, Tucson, Arizona.
