    Episode 118 - The Conviction of Michael Politte

    In the early morning hours of December 5th, 1998, 14-year-old Michael Politte, and his friend, 15-year-old Josh awoke to the smell of smoke. When they opened the door to Michael’s bedroom, they choked on the smoke billowing from 40-year-old Rita Politte’s room. While Josh ran to the neighbors house to get help, Michael ran outside to grab a hose. He tried to pull the hose inside, but it wasn’t long enough so he crawled to his mom’s room to check on her. When he opened the door, he found Rita laying face up on the ground with her body on fire from her waist to her head. Rita’s murder was the first in a long line of injustices, but to fully understand those injustices we need to take a look at the whole picture. PS - Sorry for the delayed release!

    Episode 114 - From 8 Passengers to Purgatory: The Franke Family | Part I

    On Wednesday, August 20th, 2023, a young boy can be seen ringing the doorbell at a home outside Ivins, Utah. At first, it seems as though no one will answer the door, so the boy turns to go to the next house, but then a man steps out to greet him. The boy asks if the man can take him to the nearest police station, and the man encourages him to sit down in the shade outside the front door so he could tell him what had happened. Before long, the boy began detailing a story of horrific abuse and the man was dialing 911.

    Episode 113 - The Gallaudet University Murders

    On Thursday, September 28th, 2000, Joseph Mesa Jr, a freshman at Gallaudet University, started to get worried about his friend, Eric Plunkett. Eric had missed an 8pm tutoring session that evening, and when Joseph started asking around, he realized that no one had seen Eric for at least a couple of days. Eric didn’t have a roommate, so Joseph went to the Resident Advisor, Thomas Koch, and asked if he could just check on Eric to make sure he was okay. Thomas headed down to Eric’s room, but he didn’t answer the door, so Thomas used his master key to unlock the door, but when he pushed it open, he was horrified to find Eric lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood.
