A Most Victorian Murder: The Mysterious Poisoning of Charles Bravo Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

Charles and Florence Bravo had all the makings of a respectable Victorian marriage: money, status, and a stately home. But beneath the polished veneer was jealousy, control, infidelity, and resentment. When Charles died from poison just four months after the wedding, the suspect list included his new bride, her loyal ladies’ maid, and her much older ex-lover.

The Corpsewood Manor Murders Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

At the end of a long, dirt road in the wilds of Georgia, two men created a world entirely their own—part sanctuary, part gothic fantasy. There were rumors of devil worship and sinful orgies—but when evil came to Corpsewood in the winter of 1982—it came from the outside world.

Christa Pike Survived Her Own Execution [Current Affairs] Oct 12, 2026

Show notes

In 1995, 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer was murdered in Knoxville, Tennessee, by a classmate who believed she was after her boyfriend. Christa Pike spent the next three decades as the only woman on Tennessee’s death row. On September 30th, the state gave her two doses of pentobarbital, and she did not die. This week she woke up in a hospital bed, still under a death sentence, as her lawyers fight to keep Tennessee from trying again.
