316: The Dexter Killer (from 48 hours) Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

By the fall of 2008, Mark Twitchell could no longer control his dark urges. And so the 29-year-old filmmaker, husband, and father began luring unsuspecting victims to a rented garage in a quiet neighborhood. Believing they were going there to meet Tinder dates, these victims were quickly overtaken by a gun-wheedling monster in a hockey mask whose only plan was to torture and kill them in the style of Dexter Morgan--his favorite character on his favorite TV show.

Show notes

It's one of the most memorable moments in television history, but nobody really knows what actually happened or why. At the Superbowl halftime show in 2004, two of the world's biggest stars shared the stage: Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. At the end of their number, Timberlake ripped away a piece of Jackson's top, exposing her breast to 9/16ths of a second. The incident caused an international scandal, and Jackson's career would never be the same. BUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENED? This episode tries to untangle it all.

312: The Murder of Brittanee Drexel (Dateline's "The Last Walk) Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

It was a mystery that took 12 years to solve.
In April 2009, 17-year-old Brittanee Drexel headed to Myrtle Beach with a group of older friends for spring break. The trip wasn't going well--she wasn't getting along with the people she was traveling with, so she spent much of the first day texting her boyfriend back home. But when the text messages suddenly stopped, the boyfriend panicked. You see, nobody knew Brittanee had made this trip--her parents had forbidden it. And now she was missing, having left very few clues as to what happened to her. It would take over a decade to find out.
