Ex-College Basketball Star Kerr Kriisa Indicted in $2.2M Fraud Scheme | True Crime News Jul 08, 2026

Show notes

Federal prosecutors say former college basketball star Kerr Kriisa spent four years running a $2.2 million wire fraud scheme — inventing personas, faking emergencies, and even impersonating his own mother in emails claiming she had cancer. The FBI arrested Kriisa in Lexington last Friday, and his indictment was unsealed Monday, charging him with five counts of wire fraud against two victims who prosecutors say believed they were helping a friend through the worst moments of his life. Vanessa walks you through the charges, the alleged scheme, and how a Division I athlete ended up in federal court.

Boyfriend Convicted in Murder of Oakland Artist Zoe Reidy Watts | True Crime News Jul 06, 2026

Show notes

Zoe Reidy Watts was 25 — a poet, ceramic artist, and Bay Area presence who had once made work about gender-based violence. In February 2024, after a date night, she was killed inside her boyfriend's Oakland apartment. Surveillance footage caught her escaping to the sidewalk — and her boyfriend, Victor Frieson, dragging her back inside. This past week, more than two years later, a jury found Frieson guilty of second-degree murder, torture, and corporal injury. Vanessa walks you through the case, the evidence, and the woman at the center of it.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available 24/7 at the National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233.

In 1979, six-year-old Etan Patz vanished walking to his school bus stop alone for the first time, a case that put his face on the side of milk cartons and sparked the modern missing-children movement.

Vanessa walks you through the case from that spring morning in SoHo to the Court's decision, and what it really decides for confessions, federal authority, and a family still waiting for an answer.
