This is not a true-crime story that we are used to talking about. We normally cover tales of serial killers and gore, but sometimes, crime can have a very different face. What could have been the Woodstock of the millennial generation turned out to be one of the most successful marketing campaigns for the worst event in recent memory. What made a few 20-somethings and a rapper feel like they could throw a luxury music festival in the Bahamas in only 5 months? Who gave them the money to do this? ...

We teased it last week but if you didn't get the memo, strap in because this might be the most grisly case we have ever covered. The murder of the beautiful Iana Kasian by her wealthy boyfriend Blake Leibel is referred to as one of the worst cases to ever happen in West Hollywood. Arguably more disturbing than the case is that the details seemed pulled directly from a graphic novel... written by the murderer...

The often unheard about Osage Native American murders were a series of murders of Osage people in Osage County, Oklahoma during the 1910s–1930s; newspapers described the increasing number of unsolved murders as the "Reign of Terror," lasting from 1921-1926. The estimated Osage death toll is in the hundreds, though reported numbers are much less and investigated deaths far fewer. Newer investigations indicate that many more suspicious deaths during this time could have potentially been misreporte...

In this episode, we talk about the events that led up to the riots, the timeline of the first night, and a few key figures that had a huge impact on the movement as a whole. Email: cri...
