    A wealthy businessman. A bitter divorce. A jealous ex-husband. And a murder that would expose a whole lot more than anyone bargained for. This week, Heather tells Brooklyn the twisted true crime story of Paul Duncsak and Edward Ates, a New Jersey murder case packed with jealousy, money, betrayal, and some seriously questionable decisions. Paul Duncsak was a successful businessman who seemed to have it all. But his relationship with his ex-wife, Stacey, and her former husband, Edward Ates, was anything but peaceful. Then, in 2006, Paul was found murdered inside his New Jersey home, leaving investigators with a chilling crime scene and a whole lot of questions. Who wanted Paul dead? Was this a robbery gone wrong, or was something much more personal at play? And just how far would someone go to settle an old score? As investigators started digging, they uncovered a tangled web of resentment, suspicious behavior, and evidence that would turn this investigation into one hell of a true crime story. Heather takes Brooklyn through the Paul Duncsak murder, the investigation into Edward Ates, and the shocking New Jersey homicide case that proves sometimes the past just won't stay buried. Buckle up, Sassholes. This one's got more red flags than a damn parade.

    A troubled marriage. A suspicious disappearance. A husband with a story that just wasn't adding up. And one VERY important piece of heavy machinery. This week, Brooklyn tells Heather the gruesome true crime story of Helle Crafts and Richard Crafts — a case so disturbing it became one of Connecticut's most infamous murders. In November 1986, Helle Crafts, a Danish-born flight attendant and mother of three, suddenly disappeared from her Newtown, Connecticut home. Her husband, Richard Crafts, had explanations for where she had gone... but the people who loved Helle weren't buying them. Especially because Helle had already told friends exactly who they should look at if anything ever happened to her. As investigators began digging into the Crafts' marriage, Richard's behavior, and some VERY suspicious activity around the time Helle vanished, this missing-person case turned into something much darker. And then came the snowplow driver. What he remembered seeing during a winter storm would help unravel one of the most gruesome and unforgettable murder cases in true crime history. Brooklyn takes Heather through the Helle Crafts murder, the investigation into Richard Crafts, the infamous Connecticut wood chipper murder case, and the tiny pieces of evidence that told a horrifying story. You might want to skip breakfast for this one.

    #208 - Particles and Sharticles

    A respected doctor. A marriage falling apart. A much younger lover. And a late-night drive that ends in murder. This week, Heather tells Brooklyn the absolutely WILD true crime story of Dr. Gulam Moonda and his wife, Donna Moonda. From the outside, Dr. Gulam Moonda and Donna appeared to have built an impressive life together. But behind closed doors, their marriage was unraveling as Donna battled addiction, entered rehab, and began a secret relationship with Damian Bradford — a man decades younger than her. Then, on May 13, 2005, a seemingly ordinary drive through Ohio took a horrifying turn. Gulam was dead, Donna was left behind as the grieving widow, and investigators were faced with what initially looked like a terrifying roadside crime. Except... things weren't adding up. Because Donna had secrets. Damian had secrets. And once investigators started pulling at the threads, they uncovered a story involving money, betrayal, a prenup, drugs, an affair, and a murder plot that was far more calculated than anyone initially realized. Heather takes Brooklyn through the murder of Dr. Gulam Moonda, the investigation into Donna Moonda and Damian Bradford, and the absolutely bonkers trail that ultimately exposed what was really happening behind the Moondas' seemingly successful marriage. Come for the true crime. Stay for Brooklyn's reaction when this shit starts going OFF THE RAILS.

Linda was in the middle of a contentious custody battle with her ex-husband, David Watson, when she suddenly vanished—leaving behind a broken coffee cup, traces of blood, and a whole lot of questions. But Linda’s disappearance was only the beginning. As her mother, Marilyn Cox, refused to stop searching for answers, another shocking crime would rock the family—pulling Marilyn and her friend Renee Farnsworth into a mystery that would span more than a decade.

    #206 - Swoopy Poopy

    A whirlwind romance. Multiple husbands. Stolen money. Fake identities. A mysterious death. And one woman who somehow kept finding men willing to believe every word she said. This week, Heather tells Brooklyn the unbelievable true crime story of Dena Thompson, the British woman who became known as the “Black Widow.” Dena’s trail of lies, fraud, manipulation, and suspicious relationships stretched across decades—and the deeper investigators dug, the crazier it got. From Lee Wyatt and Julian Webb to Richard Thompson, the men in Dena’s life would find themselves caught in a web that included secret affairs, forged documents, missing money, bizarre accusations, and eventually... murder. And somehow, we’re only scratching the surface. How did Dena Thompson get away with it for so long—and what finally brought the Black Widow’s web crashing down? Trigger Warning: This episode discusses murder, poisoning, domestic abuse allegations, manipulation, fraud, and other disturbing circumstances. Plus the usual foul language because Dena gives us PLENTY to discuss. Rate, review, and subscribe to A Couple of Sassholes!

    A missing musician. A complicated love triangle. And a trail of secrets that leads investigators somewhere much darker than anyone expected. This week, Brooklyn tells Heather the twisted Colorado true crime story of Kevin Eastman, Heather Frank, and Scott Sessions. When beloved musician Scott Sessions suddenly disappears after telling his father he’s heading out to meet a woman, investigators begin searching for answers. But finding Scott is only the beginning. Soon, the names Heather Frank and Kevin Eastman enter the investigation—and what initially looks like one missing person case starts unraveling into something much more disturbing. Jealousy, obsession, controlling relationships, suspicious behavior, and a connection investigators couldn’t ignore... this one has layers, y’all. And we’re not telling you how they all fit together. You’re gonna have to listen for that. Trigger Warning: This episode discusses murder, domestic violence, controlling and abusive relationships, and other disturbing circumstances.

    #204 - Consider My Fancy Tickled

    Money. Power. A bitter divorce. And a bomb in a country club parking lot. This week, Heather tells Brooklyn the twisted true crime story of Gary Triano, a wealthy Tucson, Arizona businessman whose glamorous lifestyle came with risky deals, powerful connections, and plenty of people who might have wanted him gone. Then there’s his ex-wife, Pamela Anne Phillips—a former model and socialite whose marriage to Gary ended in one VERY expensive divorce. When Gary Triano is murdered in a car bombing outside an exclusive Tucson country club in 1996, investigators are left with a long list of questions. What follows is a case involving millions of dollars, a massive life insurance policy, secret recordings, an alleged murder-for-hire plot, international drama, and a mystery that would take years to unravel. And just when you think you know where this one is going... you probably don't. Trigger Warning: This episode discusses murder, an explosive device, domestic abuse allegations, toxic relationships, and, per usual, some foul language.

    #203 - Sucky Town USA

    This week, Brooklyn tells Heather a story that starts with an adoption reunion and somehow manages to get more disturbing with every single turn. When Katie Rose Fusco set out to reconnect with her biological parents, Steven and Alyssa Pladl, she was looking for answers about where she came from. What followed was a family reunion that crossed boundaries no one could have imagined—and set off a chain of events involving obsession, betrayal, a shocking relationship, and devastating consequences. And trust us: knowing the headline of this case does NOT prepare you for everything that happened behind it. Trigger Warning: This episode discusses incest, grooming, abuse, domestic violence, and the deaths of multiple people, including a child. We don't get graphic, but this one is seriously f****d up. Please listen with care. Brooklyn takes us through the disturbing true crime case of Steven Walter Pladl and Katie Rose Fusco Pladl, including the Pladl family's history, the reunion that changed everything, the increasingly alarming behavior behind closed doors, and how it all eventually came crashing down. This is one of those true crime stories where you'll say, "Surely that's as bad as it gets," approximately six times. Spoiler: it is not.
