Plastic surgery loving yoga teacher on the lamb circles back to kill professional lady cyclist Feb 20, 2024

Show notes

Murder by yoga instructor took the life of a young, professional cyclist. All Moriah “Mo” Wilson did to make herself a target was date Kaitlyn Armstrong’s boyfriend when the two had taken a break.

Kaitlyn stalked the pro cyclist to a friend’s house, gunned Mo down, and then ran from police when evidence of the crime led them to her door. The yoga instructor went on the lam, even going as far as having plastic surgery to change her appearance, but investigators saw through her disguise.

Death was Dr. Bill Sybers' business. The Panama City medical examiner was the one who investigated when someone died, especially when it was unexplained.

When his own wife, Kay, passed suddenly in 1991, Sybers insisted she died of natural causes. He didn’t even order an autopsy and went straight to embalming her body.

Why wouldn’t people take the expert word of the top doc of death in the Florida Gulf Coast city?

Many people did until police found several odd injection marks on Kay’s body and discovered Sybers had been having an affair with a woman he soon married.

Join us for more on how the murderous truth was finally uncovered in this episode of the Gulf Coast Confidential podcast: “Me and the M.E.: Married to Death. The murder of the Panama City Medical Examiner’s wife.”

Cash in the Collard Greens Pot Jan 17, 2024

Secret deals, cash bribes, and a body under a house. Pensacola has a scandalous past when it comes to political corruption.
Florida's westernmost county, Escambia, made headlines in 2004 when a state investigation revealed multiple county leaders were meeting in secret and making million dollar deals at the taxpayers' expense. One commissioner even accepted a cash bribe in a collard greens pot. He was later found dead under a house from an apparent suicide.
Their corruption was exposed, in part, thanks to Florida's Sunshine Law which gives people access to governmental meetings and proceedings.
In this episode of Gulf Coast Confidential, “Cash in the Collard Greens Pot,” join us for a discussion about the scandal that put "scam" in Escambia County and why open government is important to keep history from repeating itself.

Recipe for a Scandal Jan 17, 2024

Send us Fan Mail

Why go under a house to die? That’s the question many people in Pensacola, Florida have been asking since Willie Junior, the first Black man elected to the Escambia County Commission in recent history, turned up dead under a house in 2004.

The coroner ruled his death a suicide.
Junior had reason to be stressed, his role in a government corruption scandal cost him his job and lavish lifestyle and was about to send him to prison, along with another powerful politician.
Junior, the man who once had everybody talking about his “drive through mortuary” business, was now the talk-of-the-town for taking a cash bribe in a collard greens pot.
Still, many thought crawling under a house to drink beer and anti-freeze seemed like an unusual way to commit suicide, especially for Junior who enjoyed the finer things in life like nice suits and flashy cars. He even got a haircut the day he disappeared.
In this episode of Gulf Coast Confidential, "Recipe for a Scandal," join me for more on one of the biggest political scandals to rock Northwest Florida.

Murder in the movies is something you only expect to see onscreen. At a Tampa movie theatre in 2014, the real drama was in the audience.

Retired police SWAT captain Curtis Reeves shot and killed Chad Oulson, a Gulf War veteran and father of a young daughter. In fact, Oulson was texting with the babysitter during the movie previews when Reeves told him to turn off his phone and complained about it to theater staff.

The two men exchanged words and Oulson tossed popcorn in the older man’s face. Reeves pulled his handgun and shot Oulson to death, he claimed in self-defense.

Join us as we talk about the trial and why jurors thought popping off over popcorn was a justifiable killing, in this episode of Gulf Coast Confidential, “Pow, Pow, Popcorn Murder.”

In 2019, the lawmen were staying on Pensacola Beach for a conference on death investigations and soon became the focus of one.
An alcohol fueled fight between the long-time friends was so violent the coroner said the hits Miller took from Nealey had the same impact as a car accident.
What would drive a man to beat his friend to death with his bare hands? Join us as we explore what happened in a Pensacola Beach hotel room in this episode of Gulf Coast Confidential, "Blue on Blue Crime: No Bro Code!!"
