    Episode 56 - Stephen Seddon: Hounded by Furies
    Sep 10 2026
    Robert and Patricia Seddon did everything right. They worked hard and raised two children. Sadly, their daughter, Lesley, would be diagnosed with epilepsy as a child and would die when she was just 40, leaving her parents to raise their grandchild. Their son, Stephen, began getting in trouble as a teen, serving prison time twice, but the Seddons didn’t abandon their son. They bought him a house and gave him money. He repaid their love and kindness with murder.Sources: https://www.thetimes.com/travel/destinations/uk-travel/england/manchester/may-the-furies-pursue-you-until-death-judge-tells-killer-who-shot-his-parents-t8ggjkgg0pwhttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-21523464https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-19760862https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-21534028https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/JCO/Documents/Judgments/seddon-sentence-remarks.pdfhttps://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/7957936.businesses-count-cost-as-grants-fraudster-is-jailed/https://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/2013-03-18/man-accused-of-murdering-parents-was-on-drugs-runhttps://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/stephen-seddon-murder-trial-man-1977961https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/canal-plunge-how-stephen-seddon-1980042https://gizmodo.com/rich-kids-who-killed-their-parents-2-if-at-first-you-d-1743074610https://www.news.com.au/world/stephen-seddon-accused-of-murdering-parents-for-insurance-money/news-story/064f29f64b709551493467461bc726d0https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/10245037.shotgun-son-used-kill-parents-stolen-north-east-burglary-court-told/https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/family-tributes-loving-selfless-couple-2061752https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/shoot-disabled-nephew-thats-sick-1763380https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/10299277.seaham-man-mounts-angry-defence-claim-considered-killing-disabled-nephew/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-21549564https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/murder-trial-son-stephen-seddon-told-1671919https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/03/28/conman-stephen-seddon-jailed_n_2970393.htmlhttps://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/7111057.trickster-too-broke-repay-5m-fraud/https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/murder-trial-son-stephen-seddon-told-1671919https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/chilling-moment-cold-hearted-killer-stephen-1976030https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/10245037.shotgun-son-used-kill-parents-stolen-north-east-burglary-court-told/

    Episode 55 - Roberto Martinez-Marinero: A Son, a Brother, a Killer
    Aug 23 2026
    Salvadoran Jesus Ismenia Marinero came to the United States in 1999 in search of a better life. She must have felt that she was on her way to finding it when one of the five children she had been forced to leave behind, Roberto Martinez-Marinero, came to join her a decade later. Over the next six years, Ismenia gave birth to two more sons, Josue and Angel, but in May 2015, the son whose reappearance she had gladly welcomed would be the one to irreparably destroy the family she had been trying to rebuild.Sources: https://people.com/crime/nebraska-woman-allegedly-murdered-by-own-son-thought-she-would-protect-him/https://www.choicesmagazine.org/choices-magazine/theme-articles/immigration-and-agriculture/immigration-and-meatpacking-in-the-midwest- https://farmstand.org/how-big-ag-thrives-on-trumps-immigration-threats/ https://www.ketv.com/article/timeline-in-missing-boy-case-homicide-investigation/7652598https://people.com/crime/baby-found-in-dumpster-5-year-old-brother-still-missing/https://people.com/crime/roberto-martinez-marinero-allegedly-killed-his-mom-and-4-year-old-brother/https://people.com/crime/suspect-in-nebraska-case-may-face-death-penalty-for-killing-his-mother-brother/https://people.com/crime/family-speaks-out-second-arrest-made-in-jesus-marinero-death/https://www.ketv.com/article/update-missing-5-year-old-found/7652597https://www.wowt.com/content/news/Accessory-in-stunning-metro-murder-case-sentenced-to-prison-404288516.html https://www.cbsnews.com/news/guilty-plea-in-murder-of-boy-4-thrown-from-bridge/https://www.reuters.com/article/world/us/nebraska-man-pleads-guilty-gets-two-life-sentences-in-murders-idUSKCN0VJ2HV/https://www.ketv.com/article/roberto-martinez-marinero-pleads-guilty-in-deaths-of-mother-half-brother-1/7658050https://www.3newsnow.com/news/local-news/police-chief-recalls-finding-marinero-toddler-in-dumpster-one-year-laterhttps://www.corrections1.com/arrests-and-sentencing/articles/man-walks-into-jail-admits-involvement-in-mothers-death-sPy1uyI587YHJSRJ/https://www.wowt.com/content/news/Bond-denied-for-woman-who-helped-boyfriend-dump-body-482841491.htmlhttps://www.kcci.com/article/second-arrest-made-in-death-of-nebraska-mother/6906825https://www.ketv.com/article/body-of-missing-5-year-old-boy-found-officials-say-1/7652602https://www.cbsnews.com/news/police-mother-was-likely-alive-when-son-dumped-her-in-ditch/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cops-believe-missing-nebraska-boy-was-thrown-into-river/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boy-5-missing-after-tot-brother-abandoned-in-dumpster/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/body-likely-of-missing-nebraska-boy-found-in-river/ https://www.3newsnow.com/news/local-news/martinez-marinero-gets-two-life-sentences-for-killing-mother-half-brother https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/official-salvadoran-report-says-its-factories-are-2922670.php https://forumtogether.org/article/explainer-migrant-deaths-at-the-border/ https://www.migrationpolicy.org/explainer/immigrants-and-crime-united-stateshttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c77l28myezko https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/state-of-union-fact-check-trump-speech-2026-rcna259900

    Episode 54 - Jason Harris: Cereal Killer
    Aug 9 2026

    We should all hope to have the kind of family Christina Harris had. When their beloved daughter and sister, a 36-year-old mom of a 4-year-old and a 4-month-old, died unexpectedly, they wanted answers, but the answers they hoped to gain from an autopsy came in the form of more questions. The autopsy revealed an accidental overdose. This made no sense. Christina didn’t struggle with substance use disorder. It would take years before investigators would finally listen to the family and reveal what really happened.

    Episode 53 - Chisako Kakehi: Widow by Design
    Jul 26 2026
    For nearly two decades, Chisako Kakehi watched on as her partners passed away one by one. Although she claimed that she had been “doomed by fate” to endure these tragedies, after the death of her fourth and final husband, Isao Kakehi, in 2013, the Japanese authorities finally became suspicious enough to perform a postmortem. After the autopsy confirmed that he hadn’t died from natural causes, investigators began digging into her past, ultimately discovering a series of poisonings that had made Chisako a very wealthy widow indeed.

    Episode 52 - Robert Wood: Loathsome Loser
    Jul 12 2026

    Murder and arson in the small Eastern Washington town of Newman Lake were rare. Neighbors looked out for each other and couldn’t have imagined that a member of their community, a single dad who was caring for two of his six children, would ever do what he was accused of, but how well do we really know our neighbors? What could drive a mild-mannered, middle-aged man to commit such a heinous act? Financial stress can cause people to do unimaginable things.Sources:

    Jun 28 2026
    Garry Davis had been fired, terminated, or deregistered from five of the six aged care facilities at which he had previously worked, including from one for posting, “I hate old people,” on Facebook. Despite all this, the 26-year-old had not only gotten a job at SummitCare Wallsend, but after just three years, he had already secured a senior position on the wing from which three elderly residents were taken to the hospital for hypoglycemia over two days in October 2013, a coincidence that caught the attention of a vigilant endocrinologist, and soon after, the police.Sources: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-22/aged-care-killer-garry-davis-wrongful-conviction-serial-killer/105043288 https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/motive-a-mystery-in-nursing-home-insulin-murders-davis-sentenced-to-40-years/32h8vx5vchttps://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/nsw-aged-home-worker-found-guilty-of-murdering-two-residents/pyxyfccee https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/sep/28/nsw-aged-care-worker-guilty-of-and-attempted-of-dementia-patientshttps://www.9news.com.au/national/nsw-nursing-home-carer-garry-davis-sentenced-to-at-least-30-years-jail-murder-attempted-murder/da977f05-4a31-41bd-ac21-57c1378e2909https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/former-nursing-home-worker-garry-davis-jailed-for-40-years-over-murder-of-two-residents-20161213-gt9xa5.htmlhttps://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/nurse-garry-davis-guilty-of-murdering-dementia-pair-with-insulin-in-agedcare-home-20160928-grqah5.html https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-16/could-aged-care-killer-garry-davis-have-killed-elizabeth-eifler/105042672https://www.cbsnews.com/news/australia-nursing-home-worker-prison-insulin-murder-elderly-patients/https://www.9news.com.au/national/nsw-murder-accused-predicted-deaths/6fc068a7-1007-4e95-ae89-1c5fcf4d813dhttps://www.9news.com.au/national/nsw-nurse-accused-of-murdering-elderly-patients-with-insulin-claimed-they-died-from-food-poisoning/dc9da3af-d253-440b-a281-b013c33530a9https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-28/nursing-home-employee-garry-davis-found-guilty-of-murder/7883704https://catherinehenrylawyers.com.au/client-stories-2/mother-murdered-by-a-nursing-assistant-our-clients-story/ https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-19/nurse-refused-bail-over-alleged-nursing-home-double-murder-in-n/5979942 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-31/summitcare-alleged-killer-sent-text-predicting-deaths-court-told/7793484https://www.australia.com/en-us/places/sydney-and-surrounds/guide-to-newcastle.html https://www.high-school-australia.com/newcastle-lake-macquarie/ https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/midazolam-oral-route/description/drg-20072182

    Episode 50 - Judith Hyams: Judging Judy
    Jun 14 2026

    Though the 1960s were a time of change that saw women becoming more vocal about their rights and lack thereof, access to reproductive choice was still years away. When Judy Hyams found herself unexpectedly pregnant, she turned to a family friend whom she trusted. After all, he was a doctor. Things became murky after Judy was introduced to someone who promised they could help her. Years later, a true crime show would shed light on the case but provide no new answers.

    Episode 49 - Alexandre Despallières: Flirting with Fame
    May 31 2026
    When Australian music mogul Peter Ikin died in November 2008, his civil partner, Alexandre Despallières, was quick to claim his inheritance. Although investigators didn’t view Peter’s death as suspicious, his friends had questions about the man who had waited only days to cremate him. In the wake of a damning toxicology report, the investigation into Peter’s death was reopened, but when all was said and done, Alex wouldn’t just end up as the prime suspect, he would be unmasked as a master manipulator whose goal to secure wealth and fame placed him at the center of a series of suspicious deaths.Sources: https://www.bfmtv.com/police-justice/il-s-inventait-des-vies-alexandre-despallieres-potentiel-empoisonneur-en-serie-mort-avant-son-proces_AN-202206130194.htmlhttps://www.rtl.fr/actu/justice-faits-divers/olivier-metzner-peter-ikin-qui-etait-alexandre-despallieres-leur-sulfureux-amant-7900184715 https://www.lejdd.fr/Societe/exclusif-le-maitre-et-lassassin-une-enquete-fouillee-sur-olivier-metzner-et-son-sulfureux-amant-4110046https://www.smh.com.au/culture/celebrity/long-wait-for-justice-for-peter-ikin-s-friends-as-husband-charged-over-death-20200527-p54wux.html https://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/a-dead-man-a-forged-will-a-ps10m-inheritance-and-a-ruined-reputation-8026886.html https://francerent.com/destinations/Bois-Colombes?srsltid=AfmBOooR2qa05Nwl02feiVoV9ERg8TCtaio6ZSGctodcvz0i3GafV9_B https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/sex-manipulation-poison-possible-serial-120000440.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHgLXBSwiKvLah6dMYcrK__tGyFiRy6COvtdWtRK0P8OuLkPE8Bpuo9PNVvl9HKhGpnY9TI9UhOXzrEfZZr9cFG8z6tH4B9dMrVlF2yFKb5YZthlZVxftIIyKyynLqTyOhT1ygdbgpzU8k3tH3ia99YKf6BVts7clikCF8btNbrJhttps://www.clivedenhouse.co.uk/ https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/xanadu-on-ice-for-livvy-20100910-1557d.html https://www.rtl.fr/actu/justice-faits-divers/alexandre-despallieres-qui-etait-peter-ikin-le-producteur-de-musique-qu-il-est-soupconne-d-avoir-tue-7900318135https://www.francetvpro.fr/contenu-de-presse/76002776https://www.rtl.fr/actu/justice-faits-divers/mort-d-olivier-metzner-qui-etait-ce-celebre-avocat-qui-a-mis-fin-a-ses-jours-sur-son-ile-7900173867https://www.thetimes.com/best-law-firms/profile-legal/article/olivier-metzner-the-forged-will-and-a-pop-star-lover-accused-of-murder-x5hgj863nz9 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/mar/17/french-lawyer-olivier-metzner-found-dead https://www.dailyjournal.com/article/382561-franz-kafka-enemy-of-the-kafkaesque https://www.rtl.fr/actu/justice-faits-divers/deces-de-peter-ikin-pourquoi-cette-affaire-est-un-veritable-naufrage-judicaire-7900129259 https://www.ouest-france.fr/societe/justice/alexandre-despallieres-qui-devait-etre-juge-en-juin-pour-assassinat-est-mort-2f24e4b8-8e83-11ec-8142-04af4be3c211https://www.rtl.fr/actu/justice-faits-divers/affaire-olivier-metzner-pourquoi-le-suicide-du-celebre-avocat-reste-mysterieux-7900182927https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10521109/He-partnered-music-boss-probably-killed-cheated-justice-dying.htmlhttps://incompliancemag.com/invention-powers-devices-by-recycling-wasted-electromagnetic-energy/ https://www.sortiraparis.com/en/what-to-visit-in-paris/history-heritage/articles/343409-yvelines-where-does-the-name-of-this-department-number-78-come-from-formerly-known-as-seine-et-oise https://www.verywellhealth.com/acetaminophen-vs-paracetamol-uses-efficacy-side-effects-7508943
