Introducing: Betrayal Season 6 Sep 26, 2026

Show notes

In Season 6, we tackle a brand-new type of betrayal – not one between a husband and wife, but within a tight-knit community of friends and family. After Carl and Adam broke up, it seemed like their life together was in the past. Then, a campaign of terror brought old wounds to the surface. This is the story of a year of chaos – in which technology was used to shatter an entire circle’s sense of reality. Someone in the community wasn’t who they said they were – and they weaponized Carl’s deepest secrets against him. This season, a group of men find their way back to reality - to trusting themselves, and each other.

22. In Sleuth's finale farewell-to-season-one episode, we conclude our investigation into the Dan Wozniak double murder case by turning the tables on Host and Crime Journalist Linda Sawyer.

And finally, you'll hear from a source Sawyer refers to over the last few episodes as "Deep Throat". It's an explosive finale you won't want to miss.

20. SLEUTH welcomes another exclusive, Tim Wozniak’s former lifelong friend Bob Castillo who delivered the murder weapon Dec 19, 2018

Show notes

Ep 20. With another exclusive, Sleuth speaks to Tim Wozniak’s lifelong former friend Bob Castillo. Bob shares his stories that help present a window into Tim Wozniak’s world. Bob’s insights reveal Tim’s role in the murders of Sam Herr and Julie Kibuishi. Murders that for now, only his younger brother Dan sits alone for, on San Quentin’s death row. Sources tell me that Daniel Wozniak worries, that this podcast will reveal enough of Tim’s participation which could ultimately land Tim in a cell right next to his brother. Is he right? Listen and decide for yourselves.

17. Meet Dr. Vonda Pelto, Psychologist to Some of the Most Famous Serial Killers in Modern Day. Nov 30, 2018

Show notes

17. In this episode, we invite Dr. Vonda Pelto to the program. If you recall from episode one, I describe how my investigative journey first began on this case at Dr. Pelto’s Southern California home. It was early December of 2015, and I was commissioned to report and write a profile piece on Dr. Pelto who enjoyed a colorful career as a psychologist with an office in the Los Angeles Men’s County Jail. It was there, she treated her patients who just happened to be some of the most prolific serial killers that terrorized Los Angeles residents back in the eighties. After our interview, Dr. Pelto included me in a small gathering of her neighbors for a Christmas celebration at the house. On that evening, I met local theatre owners Jeff and Nancy Hathcock, where Daniel Wozniak performed as the lead for their musicals. It was also the same location where Daniel killed and dismembered his first victim Sam Herr in the attic of their Liberty Theatre. From that moment, I never returned home, and thus began my odyssey in uncovering the details of this case. We now welcome Dr. Pelto.

16. Meet the couple Dan Wozniak calls Mama and Big Guy, Kristen and John Spath, parents to the love of Dan's life, a girl named Brittany. Nov 28, 2018

Show notes

16. Throughout this podcast, I have attempted to share with our listeners various interviews with people who knew the ex-Disney princess Rachel Buffett. You've heard conversations with people that knew Rachel prior to her meeting Dan, during her time with Dan as his fiancee and the time subsequent to Dan Wozniak’s arrest and incarceration. But how much do we know about Dan prior to his courtship with Rachel Buffett? Meet Kristen and John Spath, who’s daughter Brittany dated Dan prior to Rachel Buffet. Most of the people I have spoken to told me, they believe Brittany was the love of Dan’s life. Kristen and John were like family to Dan referring to Kristen as Mama and John as the big guy. They have family memories to share that included Dan. With a surprise couple of guests that the Spaths could have never anticipated arriving at their front door the week of the murders. All these stories and more you won't hear anywhere else but here on Sleuth.
