Choices Oct 30, 2022

Show notes

We’re faced with choices every day. Most are trivial and underwhelming to the point we don’t realize they’re even choices at all. Getting gas, whether or not to order take out, or the ever infamous quandary: “should I go to the gym?” There does, however, come those times when we’re forced to make more profound decisions…the type that could very well alter the trajectory of our future. We sat down for an interview with artist, public speaker, educator, and activist Blackliq. While he has achieved much in the entertainment space, his music was not the main topic of discussion. Instead, he told us exclusively and for the 1st time publicly, about the day a homicide detective showed up at his work back in 2004, informing him that his father was being charged with 1st degree murder.

Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway. Special thanks to Blackliq.

The 12th Failure Oct 16, 2022

Show notes

Lyndon McLeod was your typical controversial online troll. He was loud, provocative, and identified as a quote, “Shiva-the-destroyer archetype who likes to watch shit burn.” He also happened to be an author. His 4,485 page self-published 3-part work entitled “Sanction” began to gain some traction online with the help of his dark and outlandish marketing tactics… but one supporter of the writer’s Patreon eventually realized the book wasn't a fictional tale. When warnings fell on deaf ears… when no one listened to threats that inevitably turned out to be true - the city of Denver, CO would be met with a brand of devastation well beyond anyone’s worst nightmares.

Nikki With An “i” Oct 02, 2022

Show notes

Nikki Kuhnhausen was born “Nicholas.” From a very young age her mother Lisa knew her son wasn’t like the other boys at school. In 6th grade Nikki had the courage to come out, identifying as female. She embraced the person she truly felt she was, unapologetically. But when Nikki suddenly went missing from the Vancouver, WA area one day…it would be some time before anyone learned what had actually happened to the at-risk 17 year old…

The Dirty Truth Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

Most of us are at least peripherally familiar with the story of John Meehan, a.k.a the infamous “Dirty John,” the con-artist who terrorized women across the United States. But when the news broke of what happened to John during his final moments, the infamy surrounding his abusive escapadesstrangely led to several international TV deals, docuseries, and was even the basis for some of the most successful investigative true-crime podcasts ever created. Fortunes were made as a result of his long history of domestic violence and abuse, but the victims of the traumatic events were of the few who never saw a substantial pay day. In this episode we interview Terra Newell - the woman who finally put an end to the despicable “Dirty John.” She provides an eye opening look inside the strangest kind of limelight, discusses ethics and monetization in true crime, and explains what life’s really like after being involved in a homicide that captivated the world.

Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.

Special Thanks to Terra Newell.

Suspect Your Elders Sep 04, 2022

Show notes

“Respect your elders.” It’s something we’ve all heard since we were young. Albert Flick, a 76-year-old US Army veteran from Westbrook, Maine fit the precise mold of the type of individual we’re expected to revere. You’d never know based on appearance alone that this man had an extremely dark & violent past. When a judge gave Mr. Flick another chance at life after years in and out of prison for violent crimes, he started over in a new town where no one knew of his past…but allowing this elderly man to walk free proved to be one of the most costly & deadly mistakes the state of Maine could have ever made.

The Secret Diary Aug 21, 2022

Show notes

“Why didn’t she just leave?” This is a question usually proposed by the uninformed. Individuals unaware of just how difficult and dangerous it is for victims of domestic violence to get out of their toxic relationship. It’s never that simple and everyone’s situation is different. A young school teacher by the name of Amber Guichelaar was one of these women. She wanted to get out and almost did. A tragedy that was first reported as an accident, would turn out to be much more than that. When detectives found letters Amber had left behind, they would finally reveal the truth of what really happened.

Finding Jordan Aug 07, 2022

Show notes

In 2017, just days after Thanksgiving, a 25-year-old woman from Keystone Heights, FL mysteriously disappeared. Authorities wasted no time in launching their search efforts, as this wasn’t the average missing person case. Jordan Cooper was severely intellectually challenged and had never been left alone for more than a few hours. She was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt at her house on Payne Road. As law enforcement questioned her family with a suspiciously checkered past, they failed to look toward one individual who had been hiding in plain sight the entire time…

86ed Jul 24, 2022

Show notes

63-year-old Chef Daniel Brophy was the Oregon Culinary Institute's most eccentric instructor for many years. His hands-on method of foraging wild herbs & incorporating them in his dishes was only one example of what made him so special, in and out of the kitchen. All seemed well in Daniel’s personal life as well, having been married to his wife Nancy for over 20 years. In 2018, Daniel left his home early in the morning to teach his normal Saturday course. Little did he know, heading into work that day meant walking directly into a trap…when he was confronted with a 9mm Glock 17, held by the last person anyone would expect.

Bargaining Chip Jul 10, 2022

Show notes

On the afternoon of April 27th, 2016, 33-year-old Tricia Todd of Hobe Sound, FL never arrived to pick her young daughter up from her babysitter. Family was notified, who subsequently went to pick up the child. Tricia’s family believed she may have been held up at work or possibly forgotten, but hours continued passing by with no word. The following day, during a visit to Tricia’s home, her family found her car parked across the street in a neighbor’s driveway and inside of her home sat full bags of groceries. The days turned into weeks leaving… many to wonder, where was Tricia Todd?

Show notes

On October 17, 2015, 27-year-old Sasha Samsudean went missing after coming home late from a night out at the bars in Orlando, FL. She was last seen stumbling through her apartment building’s hallway just after 2 A.M…and one of the last people seen helping her on surveillance camera just so happened to be the helpful security guard…
