  • Siders’ Ohio House of Horrors: Locals React to ‘Den of Evil’

    Siders’ Ohio House of Horrors: Locals React to ‘Den of Evil’
    Jul 8 2026
    Sixteen ‘almost feral’ children. Aged 18 months to 18 years. Hidden from sight in an Ohio house of horrors. Until now. It’s a situation difficult to fathom: Investigators found 16 kids living inside a 1,300-square-foot home in Vinton County, Ohio, confined in a 12-by-12 bedroom investigators say was covered in human waste. Gary Siders Jr., Elizabeth Siders, Gary Siders Sr., and Christina Siders were arrested on Tuesday, June 30th, and remain in jail after waiving their preliminary hearings today, Tuesday, July 7th. Investigative reporter Anne Emerson goes beyond the headlines to understand the human impact in the developing Siders child abuse case. How did children live under these conditions for so long? We wanted to hear from the local community affected by this horrific story. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, we hear from those voices - from Captain Jeremiah Griffith who was a first responder to the shocking scene, to local Vinton County Pastor James Dimel who describes the community’s support of children who were trapped in a ‘den of evil’. Law enforcement and locals share their shock at the horror lurking in their own community. And Attorney Thomas Stolly, who represents Elizabeth Siders, says the case is more complicated than many believe, urging the public to remember that his client is presumed innocent. Today, we react in real time to what we know so far in this developing story, and offer multiple perspectives of those closest to this case. We're outraged by this developing story, and the horrors these children went through. Many are wondering how we can help and support these kids, so we wanted to share a message from South Central Ohio Job & Family Services - The outpouring of love and support for the situation in the Vinton County community has been truly overwhelming, and we are incredibly grateful to our community and individuals from across the state for wanting to help.

    Murdaugh Retrial: Inside the Hunt for Alex's New Jury
    Jul 6 2026
    Alex Murdaugh retrial jury selection: How do you find an impartial jury for one of America's most well known murder cases? With Alex Murdaugh's murder retrial approaching in April 2027, one of the biggest challenges may come before opening statements are ever delivered. After jury influencing led to his original 2023 murder convictions of Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh being overturned, selecting 12 impartial jurors for retrial will be a critical part of the next chapter. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with jury consultant and body language expert Susan Constantine to break down how attorneys will build a jury for the Alex Murdaugh murder retrial. This is an expert who is no stranger to the true crime spotlight - in 2011, she was inside the courtroom throughout the entire Casey Anthony trial in Orlando, Florida. When it seems nearly everyone has heard of a case like the Murdaugh murders, how do prosecutors and the defense determine who can still be fair? Susan explains what happens behind the scenes during jury selection, from analyzing body language and listening for subtle verbal cues to conducting extensive social media research on potential jurors. It’s her job to identify potential juror biases... so what exactly does she look for? If you're following the Alex Murdaugh murder retrial, this conversation offers an inside look at one of the most important and least understood parts of the criminal justice system. Subscribe to Criminally Obsessed for continuing Alex Murdaugh coverage, true crime investigations, murder trial analysis, and exclusive interviews with the experts behind today's biggest cases.

    FBI Expert Breaks Down Ransom Investigation
    Jul 2 2026
    Nancy Guthrie ransom notes: How does the FBI determine whether they're real or fake? Five months after Today show host Savannah Guthrie's mother disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona home, the mysterious letters claiming to be from her kidnappers remain one of the most controversial pieces of evidence in the investigation. Despite reports suggesting the ransom notes were fake, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos are still actively investigating the letters. So what’s actually happening behind the scenes? In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with FBI Behavioral Analysis Expert Morgan Wright to help us understand how the FBI analyzes - and debunks - ransom notes. What are the first red flags investigators look for? What makes a ransom demand credible? And what does an FBI expert make of this “parasitic” evidence in Nancy’s case? While authorities sort through fact vs. fiction, the Guthrie family remains in limbo as they grieve this mysterious disappearance. If you’ve been following the Nancy Guthrie case from day one, this conversation offers a look inside the FBI's investigative process and answers many of the questions we’ve been asking about the ransom notes, the investigation, and what could happen next.
