    Nancy Campbell: "A Mood That Led to Murder" | MURDERISH Ep. 213

    In the 1990s and early 2000s, trash daytime TV was in its heyday. Shows like Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones, and the notoriously scandalous Jerry Springer were a guilty pleasure for anyone craving peak drama.  Guests on these shows were encouraged to be loud, explosive, obscene, shocking, and even physically violent. The more over-the-top they were, the better the ratings. The Jerry Springer Show, which made its debut in 1991, featured themes that were among the most controversial. From white supremacists to eccentrics married to farm animals, watching Jerry Springer was like seeing a tabloid magazine come to life. Christian advocacy groups and media watchdogs claimed the show was destroying America. Maybe Jerry Springer marked the end of a more wholesome era of television, but it wasn’t as serious as life or death. Except it was for 52-year-old Nancy Campbell. In July 2000 Nancy was murdered in her home not long after appearing as a guest on The Jerry Springer Show. Follow Jami @JamiOnAir on Instagram and TikTok.

    Jasveen Sangha: "The Ketamine Queen" | MURDERISH Ep. 212

    Jasveen Sangha was seated at the breakfast table the morning of October 29th, 2023, when a headline flashed across the TV that would turn her glamorous world of privilege upside-down, Former “Friends” star Matthew Perry found dead at his Pacific Palisades home.  A lump formed in her throat. Only days before she’d supplied someone connected to the actor 25 vials of liquid ketamine, enough to comatose an African elephant. She typed in a quick Google search: “Can ketamine be blamed for causing death?” Any hope she had that the story would simply fade away was quickly dashed. Despite his well-publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol, Perry, 54, was still worth millions and a legion of “Friends” fans demanded to know who was responsible for giving “Chandler” his fatal dose. In the months that followed, police arrested five individuals for having a hand in Perry’s tragic demise. It wasn’t a set of the usual suspects. Two physicians, a rehab counselor, the actor’s live-in assistant, and an international, jet-setting socialite authorities dubbed “The Ketamine Queen” were among those arrested in connection with Perry’s death.

    Best of MURDERISH: Ep.175 Doug Benefield: “Black Swan Murder or Self Defense?”

    In August 2016, 24-year-old Ashley Byers and 54-year-old Doug Benefield got married just 13 days after meeting. To a hopeless romantic, a whirlwind romance can seem like a dream. From a more practical standpoint, marrying someone you barely know can be perceived as impulsive and reckless. People close to the couple wondered - how well can you know someone in such a short span of time? In this case, it’s not clear whether Doug and Ashley’s rushed nuptials had anything to do with the relationship’s tragic end. And to this day, there remains much debate over the reasons why one of them would end up dead.  Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!

    Arielle Konig: “What Happened on the Cliff?”丨MURDERISH Ep. 211

    On March 24, 2025 two nurses hiking on the Pali Puka trail in Oahu, Hawaii heard a woman’s terrified pleas for help. Amanda Morris and her friend Sarah Buchsbaum rushed toward the screams to find a bloodied woman slowly inching down the trail on her stomach. A man was crouched over her, a rock clenched tightly in his fist. He violently smashed the jagged boulder against the woman’s head then froze in place when he noticed the two strangers watching him. The man took off up the trail and disappeared from sight. The woman had a massive head wound and blood was streaming down her face. While Amanda put pressure on the wound to try and stop the bleeding, Sarah shakily dialed 9-1-1. Sarah and Amanda tended to Arielle’s injuries as they waited for police to arrive. The two women rushing to her aid wondered: Who was the woman’s attacker? Was this a random assault? And, most chilling of all, what might’ve happened if they hadn’t heard her screams?  Subscribe to Jami’s YouTube channel @JamiOnAir: https://www.youtube.com/@jamionair Follow Jami @JamiOnAir on Instagram and TikTok.
