    The Zoloft Defense

    I’M BACK – Thank you so much for hanging in there with me, while I took some time away from the podcast rather unexpectedly. I miss my dad quite a bit, so coming back has been really daunting. If you read this far, thank you again for hanging out until I got it all together to come back to a place I’ve called ‘home’ for the last 10 years. I’m not done with TCCWL [probs will do this into my 70s! lol] You might remember this phrase from health class: “All medicines are drugs, but not all drugs are medicines.” It was a simple reminder that while there’s nothing wrong with needing medication, even the ones that sound intimidating, we have to be careful about what we take and how much. All medicines are drugs, and all drugs carry risks. Content Warnings: murder, prescription drug use, familicide, mentions of suicide.

    The Murder of Mike Sisco & Karen Harkness – Dana Chandler’s Trial

    It’s one of those trends you see a lot on social media – “post a photo of yourself five, ten, fifteen years ago, and a photo of you now!” If you’ve participated in that, you’ve probably felt the same way everyone else does – like that person existed an entire lifetime ago.  Content Warnings: murder, mistrials.

    The Lisa Boldridge Case: Manipulation, Obsession, and Murder

    This week, I’m stepping away from our usual format to bring you a more candid, off-the-cuff exploration of a case that stayed with me—one that didn’t make national headlines but absolutely should have. Lisa Boldridge didn’t fire the gun that killed her ex-husband, Kurt—but prosecutors say she planned every detail. From years of harassment and arson to manipulating her son’s father into pulling the trigger, this case is a disturbing look at how far one woman would go to regain control. We’ll unpack the tangled relationships, veiled threats, and the cold logic behind a calculated murder—and explore whether justice was truly served. If you like this style of storytelling, let me know by rating the episode or dropping a comment on Spotify or social media. Your feedback helps shape future episodes. —Listen now to learn:• Why Lisa was already on investigators’ radar• How false accusations sparked a murder plot• What role financial gain and control may have played• And why she could be released as early as 2025 Follow, rate, and share to support the show. connect with Us: Enjoying our podcast?

    Trapped: The Death of Jorge Torres Jr.

    There are moments in life that, once seen, can never be unseen.Maybe it’s something deeply personal—like the sight of a loved one in a hospital bed. Or maybe it’s the brief but jarring glimpse of strangers in the aftermath of a tragedy. In this episode, we examine the disturbing case of Sarah Boone and Jorge Torres Jr.—a couple bound by a volatile, alcohol-fueled relationship that ended in a shocking and unforgettable act. What unfolded inside a suitcase one February night was recorded, documented, and later presented as evidence. But the deeper questions remain: Was it a moment of rage? A tragic mistake? Or something much more calculated? Content Warnings: murder, intimate partner violence, alcohol abuse.
