People are the Worst

Bobbi Parker | 191 Jan 29, 2026

Show notes

Richard and Samantha Deahl had been married for about ten years by 2005, living on a farm in Campti, Texas. Richard was a well-respected sculptor whose artwork had been featured on the TV show Dallas and at Disney World’s Epcot Center in Orlando. He even sold his art to help raise money for a toddler’s liver transplant. So you can imagine how shocked this small community was when everyone discovered that Richard and Samantha Deahl didn’t exist…

Susan Fensten | 190 Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

Susan Fensten grew up knowing nothing about her extended family and was always curious to know more. She finally acted on that curiosity in 2003 when she posted on an online Genealogy forum hoping to find her dad's side of the family. Shockingly, she got a response from a first cousin! Even more shocking, it would become one of the biggest regrets of her life

Mary Lynn Witherspoon | 189 Jan 15, 2026

Show notes

51-year-old Mary Lynn Witherspoon was living a chic life in downtown Charleston, SC. She taught French at a prestigious high school and volunteered at the local Children's Hospital. Her weekends were spent leisurely shopping, lunching & hosting bridge parties.

One day in 2001, while she was at home, Mary Lynn saw someone outside staring at her from the sidewalk and her heart sank. It had been 10 years since she felt fear like this. A sense of dread washed over her as she realized….her stalker was back.

Alyssa Burkett | 188 Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Alyssa Burkett and Andrew Beard met in 2018 and even though their relationship didn't work out, they were overjoyed when they welcomed a baby girl the following year. At first, co-parenting was pretty seamless until things took a turn for the worst... On October 2, 2020 when things took a devastating turn. This case seems pretty cut and dry, but as you know, nothing is what it seems...

Ari Squire | 187 Jan 01, 2026

Show notes

Ari Squire was a successful businessman, living comfortably with his wife, Denise, in their upscale Lake Barrington, IL home. By all accounts it was a great life but in Feb 2008, it would all change. What followed a horrible accident was a puzzling investigation marked by unanswered questions, strange coincidences, and a trail of clues that never quite added up. As loved ones searched for answers, authorities were left trying to determine whether Ari was the victim of a tragic accident—or something far more complicated.

Shootin' The Shit For All | 186 Dec 25, 2025

Show notes

In light of the holiday season, we're switching things up with what we call a "shootin' the shit" episode. We occasionally do these for a Patreon subscribers but today we're doing it for everyone because, honestly, I (Rebecca) couldn't get my shit together with my chemo and holiday schedule (I threw in Chemo so no one can be mad at me).

Today we talk about the tragic death of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer; Joran Van Der Sloot's attempt to better the world, and read a creepy reddit story as well as a HILARIOUS one. Next week we'll will be back with normal eps, I swear.

Gary Krueger | 185 Dec 18, 2025

Show notes

In 2010, police found the body of 62-year-old Gary Krueger in Lake Washington. It was ruled a drowning, and perhaps it was, but little did Seattle Police know, this drowning would solve the cold case of Mike Emert, the McAllister family home invasion, and 3 unsolved murders from the 80s. This one is twisty and even Sylvia Browne is involved!

Stephanie Parze | 184 Dec 11, 2025

Show notes

The Parze family is very well-known within their Freehold Township, NJ community. Not only are they social and outgoing but their real claim to fame is the over-the-top Christmas display (even gaining national attention in 2014). As the holidays quickly approached in 2019, Sharlene Parze thought it would be fun to take all 4 of their daughters to a live medium/psychic show. It was an exciting night until the psychic gave them an ominous prediction about the future. It was a reading that no one understood...until the very next day

Ezra McCandless and W&C | 183 Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

In this very special episode, we collaborate with Women & Crime to discuss the case of Ezra McCandless. In 2018, an 89-year-old dairy farmer in Wisconsin was sitting down for dinner when there was banging on his front door. He opened it to find 19-year-old Ezra McCandless bloodied, bruised, and panicking after escaping an attack. Most bizarre, the word "BOY" was carved into her arm... What happened?

A special thank you to Meghan & Amy with Women and Crime podcast. Listen to them on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube.

Shilie Turner | 182 Nov 27, 2025

Show notes

17-year-old, Shilie Turner, was a promising track star living in Philadelphia with her mom, stepdad and little sister. Everyone knew Shilie because of how badass she was at running so when she went missing in January 1993, it was all hands on deck to search for her. On February 20, 1993, 33 days into her disappearance and still no leads, there was a march in Shilie's honor. It was on this very night that a man walking his dog in Fairmont Park discovered a body. Police had no leads or no new suspects and the case was starting to go cold...until a psychic, Valerie Morrison, stepped in and revealed a very unexpected killer
