William Keck Sep 28, 2026

Show notes

In 2008, tattoo artists Ainjil Chipp and Jonathon Lestelle were building a life together in Las Vegas and preparing for the birth of their son. Ainjil had separated from her husband, William John Keck, whose increasingly erratic and disturbing behavior had plagued their relationship. After learning Ainjil was pregnant with Jonathon’s child, Keck became enraged, threatening to shoot her in the stomach and kill the baby. In the early morning hours of November 3, Keck arrived at Ainjil and Jonathon’s apartment dressed in black and armed with a chainsaw and an AK-47.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss William Keck. Keck used the chainsaw to cut through the apartment door before firing 21 rounds inside the apartment. Witnesses spotted Keck leaving the complex, and investigators arrested him about 90 minutes after the shooting. Evidence recovered by police, along with Keck’s previous threats and Ainjil’s account of years of troubling behavior, helped reveal the jealousy and rage behind the horrific attack.

Cindy Wanner Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

In November 1991, 35-year-old mother of two Cindy Wanner disappeared while cleaning her sister’s home in Granite Bay, California, leaving behind her infant daughter, shoes, and coat. Weeks later, Cindy’s body was discovered in a remote mountainous area, and investigators determined she had been strangled.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Cindy Wanner. Despite extensive searches and the mysterious use of Cindy’s bank card shortly after her disappearance, the case went cold for decades. Nearly 35 years later, advances in DNA testing and facial recognition technology finally gave investigators the breakthrough they had been waiting for, bringing answers in a case that had haunted Cindy’s family and law enforcement for generations.

Paula Chin Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

In February 2019, wealthy 65-year-old businesswoman Paula Chin disappeared from her Tribeca home and was later found murdered, her body hidden in a trash can at her New Jersey property. Investigators uncovered blood evidence, suspicious late-night trips, surveillance footage showing people moving something heavy into Paula’s car, and a trail of disturbing text messages.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Paula Chin. As detectives dug deeper, they discovered tensions involving money, inheritance, and people within Paula’s inner circle. The evidence ultimately exposed a shocking plot involving someone very close to Paula, along with others who helped clean the crime scene and dispose of her body. The case eventually resulted in a guilty plea to second-degree murder and a sentence of 22 years to life in prison.

Clara Rector Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

In April 2004, friends of 48-year-old Tommy Hope became concerned after not hearing from him for several days. When they went to his Camdenton, Missouri, home, they discovered Tommy brutally murdered inside. Investigators learned that Tommy’s troubled past, struggles with addiction, and complicated relationships had brought several people into his orbit who might have had reason to want him dead.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Clara Rector. Despite numerous interviews and promising leads, the investigation eventually stalled and remained cold for nearly a decade. Then, in 2013, an unrelated stalking and harassment case produced a stunning revelation that finally gave investigators the break they had been waiting for.

Starr Harris Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

Starr Harris was a beloved mother of three, living in Drummonds, Tennessee, with her husband, Rick, and their blended family. On June 1, 2010, Starr disappeared from her home after speaking with several people, including employee Rickey Bell, about a dispute over his paycheck. That evening, her stepson found her body in the woods behind the house. Starr had been sexually assaulted, beaten, and strangled, and investigators believed she knew her killer because there were no signs of forced entry.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Starr Harris. Evidence eventually pointed to Rickey Bell, whose DNA was found inside a condom recovered near Starr’s body. Bell was arrested and charged with murder and sexual assault, while his brothers were later accused of attempting to intimidate a witness. At trial, prosecutors argued Bell used a gun-shaped lighter to overpower Starr and forced her into the woods after their argument. The defense suggested another employee could have been responsible.

Michele Carson Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

In October 2010, 25-year-old graduate student Michele Carson traveled to Las Vegas with her best friend, Vicki Rojas, for a girls’ trip. On November 7, Michele's abandoned car was found running in West Covina while Michele was missing. Her burned and partially buried body was discovered in the Las Vegas desert, and investigators determined she had been strangled.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Michele Carson. Suspicion quickly centered on Michele’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Justin Burns, after Vicki revealed that he had previously been violent toward Michele. Phone records showed the couple had argued shortly before her death, and Justin’s phone pinged near where Michele’s body was found before being turned off.

Bob Lee Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Bob Lee, the Cash App founder and prominent tech executive, was stabbed to death in San Francisco in April 2023. Investigators focused on Nima Momeni after surveillance showed Lee leaving his sister Khazar’s apartment with him before the two stopped near the Bay Bridge, where Lee was fatally stabbed. Prosecutors argued Momeni killed Lee over anger surrounding his sister’s alleged drugging and sexual assault, while Momeni claimed he acted in self-defense after Lee attacked him with a knife.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murder of Bob Lee. DNA evidence linked both men to the weapon, and Momeni was convicted of second-degree murder in December 2024. However, questions surrounding the confrontation, the competing accounts of what happened, and the circumstances that led to Lee’s death continue to fuel debate, leaving the full truth behind the killing a mystery.

Carlesha Freeland-Gaither Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

In November 2014, 22-year-old nursing assistant Carlesha Freeland-Gaither was abducted while walking home in Philadelphia. She fought back during the attack and deliberately left behind her phone and glasses, hoping someone would realize she was in danger. A witness saw the abduction, called 911 twice, and provided police with crucial information.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Carlesha Freeland-Gaither. Authorities eventually identified her abductor through DNA evidence linking him to the sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl in Virginia. On November 5, 2014, the FBI located him at a Maryland shopping center and rescued Carlesha, who was injured but alive.
