What he didn’t know was that something was rotten in New Jersey. This is a case of a corrupt county prosecutor, a crooked judge, some fraudster cops, some planted cocaine, and a whole system rigged to work against Wright.

Are some people just born bad? We’d like to think not, but serial pedophile and suspected cannibalistic killer Nathaniel Bar-Jonah seems to be just that--born bad. From very early on, he exhibited violent, disturbing, sexually-sadistic tendencies. Additionally, he lived in a time and place where he could virtually fly under the radar--free to rape and prey on children. Enabled by both his family and inept law enforcement, Nathaniel Bar-Jonah was the 375-pound boogie man that we all need to fear....

This is the second half of our 2-parter on Kip Kinkel. We recommend that you go back to episode #71 and listen to that before starting this one. Before Columbine and Sandy Hook, there was Kip Kinkel--the moody, dark, gun-obsessed, trench-coat-wearing poster child for school shootings. That image of Kip has remained frozen in time: the dangerous child people point to as the reason some kids need to be locked up for life. Last episode, we discussed Kip’s childhood, his family, and the first part o...

This Father’s Day, we will be talking about a father that will be receiving no awards from us. Justin Ross Harris was a seemingly good father to his 22-month old son Cooper until June 18, 2014.

This is a mysterious one that was big in the news when it happened, and since, has been a tragic head-scratcher for arm-chair detectives, YouTubers, and Redditors. Kendrick Johnson (aka KJ), 17, was found dead in a mat at Lowndes High School in 2013. The circumstances of his death have been a source of conjecture, gossip, allegations, and lawsuits ever since. The Justice Department closed the case in June 2016, saying it could not meet the high legal threshold needed to file federal criminal cha...

Some say professional wrestling is fake--just a bunch of ‘roided out maniacs in tights acting out a play. They’re not totally wrong. While professional wrestling is scripted with story lines and predetermined winners and losers, the level of athleticism and commitment to the art is very real. Also, very real are the injuries sustained and the cumulative effects of years of head trauma, and concussions, which is the same with professional football players and boxers. These head injuries can lead ...

300 Center Street in Findlay, Ohio was a house of horrors. Many people were in and out of there, but no tenant was as innocent or tragic as Vera Jo Reigle. Cheri Brooks, AKA Sugar Babe, was the ring-leader of the “Brooks Clan,” a trashy “Crip” family of misfits who wreaked havoc in this small town. Referred to as “Frequent Fliers” by 9-11 and the local police, it seems that many of the Brooks’ tragedies and maladies could have been avoided.
