In this episode, we examine a tragic case of deception, violence, and disappearance—one that left three lives lost and countless questions unanswered.

This episode explores the triple homicide of Sheryl Baker, Nadia Medley, and Nadia’s teenage daughter, Payton, whose lives were violently taken at a rural farm in Idaho. Investigators identified the suspect as Mike Bollinger, a pilot who led a carefully constructed double life.

Bollinger secretly married Sheryl while simultaneously maintaining a relationship with Nadia, eventually moving Nadia and Payton into Sheryl’s newly purchased property without her knowledge. Authorities believe the murders occurred in June 2017, likely after Bollinger’s deception was exposed during an unexpected confrontation between the women.

After the killings, Bollinger fled into the Bridger–Teton National Forest, where his abandoned vehicle was later found. Although he was formally charged with three counts of first-degree murder, his body was never recovered. This absence has fueled ongoing theories—ranging from death in the wilderness to the possibility that he successfully escaped and assumed a new identity.

The episode examines Bollinger’s manipulative and sociopathic behavior, the investigative efforts that followed, and the profound grief left behind in the victims’ families and communities.

Three lives were lost, and justice remains incomplete. As this case continues to haunt those left behind, it serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of deception and unchecked control. Thank you for listening, and join us next time as we revisit another case that time has yet to resolve.

n this episode, we uncover one of the most disturbing chapters in television history—a reality show that crossed ethical boundaries and turned human suffering into entertainment.

This episode explores the shocking history of the 1990s Japanese reality series Susunu! Denpa Shōnen, a show infamous for its extreme and sadistic treatment of its contestants. At the center of the controversy is Nasubi, an aspiring comedian who was deceived into participating in an experiment that would strip him of privacy, dignity, and basic human needs.

Nasubi was unknowingly filmed 24 hours a day for 15 months, forced to live in total isolation, completely naked, and survive solely by entering magazine sweepstakes to win food, clothing, and shelter. As his physical health deteriorated and his mental state visibly declined, the show’s popularity skyrocketed, attracting millions of viewers who watched his starvation and loneliness as entertainment.

Even after Nasubi reached the financial goal that was supposed to end the experiment, producers manipulated him into continuing—this time in South Korea—further exploiting his suffering for ratings and profit.

Through this story, the episode examines not only the cruelty of the entertainment industry, but also the collective ethical failure of an audience willing to normalize and reward the systematic dehumanization of another human being.

Nasubi survived—but the questions raised by this experiment remain unresolved. How far is too far for entertainment, and what responsibility do audiences bear for the content they consume? Join us next time as we continue examining the darker side of media and power.

In this episode, we revisit one of the most disturbing unsolved cases in American true crime—the mysterious disappearance and death of Dorothy Scott.

This episode presents an in-depth reconstruction of the 1980 case of Dorothy Scott, offering a more detailed analysis than previous tellings. The focus is placed on the series of harassing phone calls Dorothy received from an unidentified stalker in the months leading up to her disappearance—calls that would continue for years after she vanished.

Dorothy disappeared from a hospital parking lot in Anaheim, California, under circumstances that remain deeply unsettling. What followed was a haunting campaign of taunting phone calls made to her parents, prolonging their grief and raising chilling questions about the perpetrator’s proximity and motives.

We examine the full timeline of events, explore key theories and suspects—including a former partner and an obsessed acquaintance—and analyze the most disturbing detail of all: a wristwatch found with Dorothy’s remains, stopped at a specific moment in time.

By carefully deconstructing the chronology, this episode seeks to better understand who was responsible, how they evaded justice, and why this case continues to haunt investigators decades later.

Some stories refuse to stay buried. Dorothy Scott’s case remains unsolved—but the search for answers continues. Thank you for listening, and join us next time as we examine another case that time has not erased.
