Ep. - 1618 - THE MANY LIVES OF BENJAMAN KYLE May 22, 2026

Show notes

Shannon and Eric Evangelista, and retired FBI Special Agent Ken Maxwell, discuss the two-night docuseries about a man found naked and injured behind a rural Georgia Burger King in August 2004, a man who couldn't remember his own name, and called himself "Benjaman Kyle."

What began as a mission to help Benjaman recover his identity became something far darker. Over more than a decade of reporting, filmmakers Shannon and Eric Evangelista watched the cracks in his story widen into a true crime labyrinth, three unsolved cold cases, a possible connection to a powerful Midwestern crime family, and escalating threats that ultimately put one of their own in danger.

Ep. - 1617 - THE NIGHTMARE UPSTAIRS: WHAT HAPPENED TO TY AND BRYN? May 21, 2026

Show notes

In the summer of 2023, two Utah teenagers barricaded themselves in an upstairs bedroom and livestreamed the standoff on TikTok for fifty-four days. Ty and Brynlee Larson were refusing a family court order that would have placed them in a reunification program with their father, Brent Larson, whom they had accused of sexual and emotional abuse, allegations he has consistently denied and was never criminally charged for. Three years later, their case is the subject of a four-part Hulu and Disney+ docuseries. Kate spoke with the director Caitlin Keating to talk about how she reported the story, what the court record could and couldn't show, and why this particular custody case became a national flashpoint.

Sarah Caterson grew up in a small Pennsylvania town as the oldest of two, until a handwritten letter from her mother in November of 2019 changed everything.

In this episode, Sarah shares the moment she opened that letter, the Ancestry.com match that led her to her half-sister Pam, and the surreal experience of meeting a sibling she never knew existed.
