Conspiracies & the Unknown: The Mothman Aug 05, 2026

Show notes

In the 1960s, residents of Point Pleasant, West Virginia reported sightings of a strange, winged figure with glowing red eyes, a creature that would become known as the Mothman. As encounters spread, so did fear, with witnesses describing eerie experiences and unexplained phenomena surrounding the sightings.
In today's first episode, Vanessa Richardson examines the origins of the Mothman legend, the wave of reports that gripped the town, and the theories that attempt to explain what people believed they saw. From misidentified animals to supernatural warnings, the story quickly expanded beyond a local mystery. After the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967, some began to believe the sightings were connected, transforming the Mothman into a symbol of omen and prophecy. Decades later, the legend continues to blur the line between folklore, fear, and unexplained events.

UNSOLVED: The Murder of Marilyn Sheppard 1 Jul 31, 2026

Show notes

On the morning of July 4th, 1954, 31-year-old Marilyn Sheppard was found beaten to death in her lakeside home in Bay Village, Ohio.On the morning of July 4th, 1954, 31-year-old Marilyn Sheppard was found beaten to death in her lakeside home in Bay Village, Ohio. She was four months pregnant. Her husband, prominent osteopathic surgeon Sam Sheppard, claimed a bushy-haired intruder had knocked him unconscious before killing his wife. But his story had gaps, his marriage had secrets, and within hours, the man who called for help became the prime suspect. The case would soon become a national obsession and reportedly serve as the loose inspiration for the hit television series The Fugitive. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces Marilyn, the years of affairs and broken promises that defined her marriage, and the night her quiet Ohio home became one of the most infamous crime scenes in American history.

The Snapchat Speed Videos That Killed Two People — and Just Got a UK Driver More Prison Time | True Crime News Jul 31, 2026

Show notes

In December 2022, 21-year-old Liberty Mitchell had held her UK driver's license for less than three weeks. In that time, she'd filmed herself on Snapchat going 100 miles an hour. Then, on a country road in Gloucestershire, she tried to overtake three cars at once at nearly 100 mph and hit a taxi head-on. She killed the taxi driver, Octavian Codreanu, and his passenger — 35-year-old teacher Moyra Whelan, who was on her way to a wedding. Mitchell was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison. This week, a UK appeals court increased her sentence to nine years and three months. Vanessa walks you through the case, the phone footage that convicted her, and what the ruling really means.
