  2. The Long Island Serial Killer's Alleged Hunt: LISK's Burner Phones, Taunting, and Gilgo Four Pattern

    2H AGO

    The Long Island Serial Killer's Alleged Hunt: LISK's Burner Phones, Taunting, and Gilgo Four Pattern

    July 2009. A fifteen-year-old girl answers her missing sister's phone. A man's voice asks: "Do you know what I did to your sister?" Amanda Barthelemy received seven calls over the following weeks. The man described what he'd done. On August 26, he said: "You won't see her again. I killed her." In Part 4 of our Gilgo Beach Killer series, we examine the alleged LISK hunting methodology—how prosecutors say the Long Island Serial Killer selected vulnerable women, contacted them via burner phones, and allegedly taunted families after the killings. The seven victims share a pattern. All sex workers. All petite—the planning document notes "small is good." All allegedly contacted via burner phones. All allegedly disappeared when the alleged Gilgo Beach Killer's family was away. According to court documents, investigators found no instance where Heuermann's personal phone was separate from burner phones when they were active. In 2012, the FBI traced calls to "the box"—a small area of Massapequa Park. Heuermann's house was inside the box. Suffolk County prosecutors also allege fake email accounts: John Springfield, Thomas Hawk, Andrew Roberts. Used to create dating profiles and contact women. Under one alias, "thousands of searches" were allegedly conducted for violent pornography and worse. Even in 2022, investigators watched the alleged Long Island Serial Killer add money to burner phones. The alleged methodology never stopped. DA Ray Tierney: "His intent was specifically to locate these victims, to hunt them down, to bring them under his control, and to kill them." Hunt. The word appears in the planning document prosecutors allege was found on LISK's hard drive. "Get sleep before hunt." Rex Heuermann has pleaded not guilty. The Gilgo Beach trial is September 2026.

    Kouri Richins Trial: Allie Staking — Tension and Tribute After Eric’s Passing

    Allie Staking, friend of Kouri, takes the stand in the Kouri Richins trial. Kouri Richins stands accused of poisoning her husband Eric Richins with a lethal dose of fentanyl in March 2022—allegedly to collect on a $1.9 million life insurance policy she secretly increased just weeks before his death. What prosecutors describe as a calculated murder-for-profit scheme, the defense calls a tragic accident involving a man who, they claim, had a hidden drug problem. This is gavel-to-gavel coverage of one of the most closely watched trials in Utah history. A children's book author. A grieving widow who wrote about "heaven" for kids while allegedly researching untraceable poisons. A husband who may have been killed in his own bed.

  4. Kouri Richins Deep Dive + Nancy Guthrie Update — Psychology of Alternate Realities

    4H AGO

    Kouri Richins Deep Dive + Nancy Guthrie Update — Psychology of Alternate Realities

    This extended Hidden Killers episode brings psychotherapist Shavaun Scott in for comprehensive analysis of two cases united by a single theme: the construction of alternate realities. Kouri Richins appears to inhabit a different reality than everyone around her. Charged with murder, she wrote a grief book and promoted it on television. From jail, she filed lawsuits demanding millions from Eric's estate. When she learned she'd been cut from the will, testimony says she punched his sister. The "Walk the Dog" letter prosecutors called witness tampering suggests ongoing narrative control. The financial evidence shows money flowing from Eric to Kouri — prosecutors allege nearly $500,000 through forged signatures and unauthorized credit lines. Yet testimony suggests she complained about their prenup as though she were trapped. How does someone construct a victim narrative when objective facts contradict it? Internet searches included "luxury prisons for the rich" and questions about poisoning death certificates — awareness of criminality alongside apparent belief in justification. After nearly three years in jail, her mother says Kouri believes "a hundred percent" she'll be acquitted. Shavaun Scott examines what happens when distortion becomes identity. Then we examine the alternate reality constructed by the PUBLIC around the Nancy Guthrie case. 31 days missing, no arrest, and the internet drowning in cartel theories while doorbell footage shows what FBI experts call "amateurish" behavior. The suspect didn't know there was a camera. Pima County says no indication Nancy was taken to Mexico. A Border Patrol officer says cartels don't target U.S. victims because it brings unwanted attention. Why does the public prefer conspiracy theories over the simpler possibility that this was a break-in gone wrong? Shavaun Scott bridges both cases through the psychology of how alternate realities get constructed and sustained — by defendants and observers alike.

  6. Kouri Richins & The Mask: Why Everyone Loves Your Abuser | Surviving the Fog Part 4

    Kouri Richins & The Mask: Why Everyone Loves Your Abuser | Surviving the Fog Part 4

    Everyone loves them. You know what they're really like at home. And you wonder if you're crazy. This is Part 4 of "Surviving the Fog"—examining the psychology of the mask through the Kouri Richins case. We're not diagnosing anyone. We're exploring documented patterns. After Eric died, Kouri wrote a children's book about grief called "Are You With Me?" Featured her sons. Promoted it. Did media appearances—grieving widow helping families heal. All while under investigation for allegedly murdering her husband. If the prosecution is right, this is the mask at its most extreme—public performance while truth sits underneath. People with narcissistic patterns curate their public image obsessively. Building character witnesses. Creating shields for when they're needed. When you finally speak, you hear: "They would never." The narrative was set before you opened your mouth. They told their version first. Flying monkeys—people recruited without knowing—reinforce their reality. Friends distance. Family takes sides. You're isolated. The mask doesn't crack under pressure. It becomes more elaborate. The worse the truth, the better the performance. The public saint and private monster are the same person. The private one is real. Trust what you see at home. Kouri Richins is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

  8. Aaron Spencer: Murder Defendant Wins Sheriff Primary in Arkansas

    8H AGO

    Aaron Spencer: Murder Defendant Wins Sheriff Primary in Arkansas

    The voters of Lonoke County, Arkansas just chose a murder defendant to be their Republican nominee for sheriff. Aaron Spencer won 53.5 percent of the vote, crushing the thirteen-year incumbent whose deputies arrested him in October 2024. Spencer is charged with second-degree murder for shooting Michael Fosler—a sixty-seven-year-old man who was facing forty-three felony charges including sexual assault, child pornography, and internet stalking. The alleged victim in those charges was Spencer's thirteen-year-old daughter. On the night of the shooting, Spencer discovered his daughter missing from her bedroom. He found her in Fosler's truck at one in the morning—despite Fosler having court orders to stay away from minors and have no contact with the girl. Spencer forced the truck off the road, and after an altercation, shot Fosler fifteen times. The trial was set for January 2026, but the Arkansas Supreme Court removed Judge Barbara Elmore from the case after she imposed restrictions the court deemed an abuse of discretion. It was the second time the high court reversed Elmore in this case. Retired Judge Ralph Wilson has taken over. A new trial date will be set at the March 18 pretrial hearing. The collision of timelines creates an unprecedented situation. Spencer faces Democrat Brian Mitchell Sr. in November's general election. If convicted before then, he can't serve. If acquitted, he's likely the next sheriff of a deep-red county. If the trial extends past the election, the county could have a sheriff-elect awaiting trial for murder.
