    Texas Murder Mystery Deepens: Suzanne Simpson’s Sister ARRESTED & Hubby Brad Simpson Still Locked Up Oct 09, 2025
    Show notes One year after the beloved San Antonio, Texas real estate agent and mother of four vanished without a trace, her sister has now been arrested while Suzanne’s husband, Brad Simpson, remains locked up awaiting trial for her murder. Investigators say Brad was caught on camera buying cleaning supplies, hauling trash bags and a tarp in his truck, and later found with a burned laptop, several destroyed phones, and a saw that allegedly tested positive for Suzanne’s DNA. Suzanne’s body has never been found. Now, in a shocking twist, Suzanne’s sister Teresa is facing charges of her own. Investigators say the arrest is not connected to Suzanne’s death, but it has deepened the mystery surrounding a family already torn apart. As Brad awaits his murder trial and Suzanne’s body remains missing, the Simpson family story continues to grow darker.

    “She Made Us Wear SCREAM MASKS!!!” Teen Boys Expose Teacher’s Drug-Fueled Sex Parties | Teacher From Hell: The Brittany Fortinberry Case Oct 08, 2025
    Show notes She was a substitute teacher and a mother-- trusted by parents, admired by students. But prosecutors say Brittany Fortinberry was living a secret double life, one that crossed every imaginable line. In fact, prosecutors say Ms. Fortinberry engaged in sexual acts with SEVERAL teenage boys, some as young as 13. One of those boys told investigators he ended things when he learned she was doing the same with other teenage boys. And in one of the most haunting details of all, prosecutors say she made them wear Scream masks during the encounters. Now, Ms. Brittany Fortinberry faces 47 felony charges, her husband is accused of threatening one of the victims, and a lawsuit claims the school district ignored red flags that could have stopped it all.

    Ellen Greenberg 2.0? The UNBELIEVABLE & DISTURBING Closet Death of a Young NYC Woman in Manhattan Oct 06, 2025
    Show notes In 2019, 27-year-old Sonam Kshatriya was found hanging in the closet of her Manhattan apartment. The medical examiner ruled it a suicide but the evidence tells a much darker story. Her family says this case is a chilling echo of the Ellen Greenberg case, where a young woman was found with 20 stab wounds and still declared a suicide. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield exposes the shocking details of Sonam’s death, from the blood at the crime scene that did not match the official story, to the ex-boyfriend with seven prior arrests who discovered her body. With bruises, surveillance video, and a 911 call that raises more questions than answers, Sonam’s family is fighting to prove she did not take her own life.

    Judge EVISCERATES Sean “Diddy” Combs at Sentencing & Quotes His FILTHY Words Back to Him Oct 04, 2025
    Show notes Sean “Diddy” Combs faced the music in federal court, and it was brutal. Judge Arun Subramanian eviscerated the hip-hop mogul during sentencing, quoting Diddy’s own filthy words back to him. Diddy sobbed in court, called his behavior “sick, shameful, and disgusting,” and begged for mercy before being sentenced to 50 months in federal prison on Mann Act convictions. His defense team even submitted a slick, 12-minute video packed with celebrity testimonials and family footage, meant to show Diddy as a loving father and mentor. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down every shocking moment inside that courtroom, plus exclusive interviews with Kim Goldman, whose brother Ron was murdered by O.J. Simpson, marking 30 years since that verdict; former federal prosecutor Nadia Shihata, who helped put R. Kelly behind bars; and former mob boss Michael Franzese, who reveals what really happens when power meets justice. Was this true accountability or just a slap on the wrist for a billionaire?

    The Tinley Park Five: Lane Bryant Massacre UNSOLVED Nearly Two Decades Later Oct 03, 2025
    Show notes On February 2, 2008, inside a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois, six women were bound with duct tape and forced to the floor. Within minutes, five were executed, one miraculously survived, and the gunman vanished without a trace. Seventeen years later, the case known as the Tinley Park Five remains one of the largest unsolved mass shootings in U.S. history.
    In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield exposes the horrifying details of the Lane Bryant murders, from the frantic 911 call to the police response that came just two minutes too late, and asks why the unmasked killer is still free. She is joined by filmmaker Charlie Minn, whose upcoming documentary Who Killed These Women? The Tinley Park Five digs deep into evidence, theories, and the silence of investigators.
    Could the surviving witness still hold the key? Was this a botched robbery, a targeted attack, or something even darker? The Lane Bryant killer is still out there, and this case demands answers.
