What’s more dangerous than a life of crime? The life of a criminal informant. As they balance volatile relationships with criminals and law enforcement, they must probe for information without raising any red flags — all while knowing that even the tiniest slip-up could get them killed. So, why do they do it? For the greater good? For personal gain? The answers are as complicated as the double lives they lead.
Hosted by famed attorney, author, and television producer Marcia Clark, Informants: Lawyer X reveals the story of Nicola Gobbo, a defense attorney who represented the key players in Australia’s violent gang wars. As she appeared to become one of the gang, no one could have predicted she would turn into a police informant, selling out the very people she swore to defend. But then when the Lawyer X scandal exploded across headlines, Nicola’s duplicity against Australia’s most dangerous criminals and toughest cops was made public, ultimately putting her life and the lives of her children on the line. She is now in hiding, while the Australian police and legal community have to pick up the pieces and regain the public’s trust.

In the summer of 2016, 24-year-old ballerina Ashley Byers and 54-year-old veteran-turned-entrepreneur Doug Benefield struck up a conversation at a party for a presidential contender. They say it was love at first sight – despite the thirty year age gap. And within just thirteen days of meeting – shocking everyone they knew – the two were married.
A family wasn’t the only thing they set out to build; together, they dream up a wave-making ballet company: the American National Ballet. With a mission and a promise to turn the ballet world upside down with dancers of varying ethnicities, body types, and racial backgrounds, in just two years, the Benefields assembled a troupe of nearly 50 dancers from across the globe, with an annual budget of $2.5 million dollars to back their dance revolution. But just months into the company’s formation, it collapses. And the money isn’t the only thing unaccounted for: Ashley is nowhere to be found. And when she finally emerges, Ashley forges a violent path that leaves two young girls without a father.
From Law and Crime, BLACK SWAN MURDER is the story of a seemingly picture-perfect marriage that turned out to be anything but. Over the course of six episodes, a tale of betrayal and desire unfolds: a woman pushed to her limits, culminating in a gripping crime of passion. But was it an act of vengeance—or a desperate fight for survival? The answer depends on who you ask.
In key interviews with investigators, attorneys and those with a front row seat to the Benefields’ turbulent partnership, BLACK SWAN MURDER traces the twisted path of Ashley and Doug Benefield, weaving a years-long timeline of violent behavior and conspiracy-fueled tendencies that ultimately turned a poised and disciplined ballerina into a cold-blooded killer.

Your government is out of control. It’s doing things it has no business doing.
It spends way too much money. It gets involved in way too many wars. It not only tells you what you can and can’t say—it actively censors you.
And the things your government should do, it can’t, or won’t, do at all.
It can’t keep your streets clean of crime and filth. It can’t keep your neighborhoods safe enough for kids to play outside. It can’t even prevent your country from being invaded by millions of illegal migrants.
Why is that?
Because your leaders no longer represent you. They represent themselves and their friends.

It was just another quiet neighborhood in small town America. At least, that’s how it looked. But the immaculately groomed yards, trimmed hedges, and brightly colored flower gardens hid an insidious secret.
More than a hundred residents were members of a cult called The Zion Society. Hiding in plain sight, they hoarded guns and ammunition. They created, sold, and modeled sexy lingerie. They took children away from parents and groomed them for sexual abuse.
Their beliefs were centered around satisfying the perverted desires of one man – their leader: an unassuming, soft-spoken landscaper. Neighbors knew something was amiss, but it wasn’t until a brave young woman broke away from the secretive group and confessed to authorities that everything began to unravel for this dangerous cult. This is the story of that unraveling told by the people who lived it.
