Gabby

It's unlikely that there is anyone on earth who by now has not heard the name Gabby Petito. This heartbreaking tale captured the world's attention and through her van life journey and social media posts and the latest Netflix documentary the world got to know and fall in love with her. Gabby was the all American girl who seemed to fully embody all the traits that people admire and aspire to; pure joy, endless smiles, a gentle soul, a kind spirit, adventuous, exuberant and a zest for life and liv...

The Mysterious Suicide Of Ellen Greenberg

The case of Ellen Greenberg is a mystery wrapped in a riddle. The complexity seems on par with Jonbenet or other cases that baffle the public for decades. Like so many other incredibly high profile cases that get massive media attention Ellen also was extremely pretty and seemed to have it all. While it's already been 14 years since the incident the case was recently back in the news with a bombshell triggering a resurgance of attention, unanswered questions and interest in this case. Will this ...

Sarah Boone Episode 3

Sarah Boone was sentenced to life in prison without the eligiblity of parole. This after being offered a 15 year plea deal for which she would have gotten credit for time served and released in only a few more years. While that may have seemed like a raw deal for Sarah and nothing she wanted to seriously consider, an aquittal was highly unlikely. She rolled the dice and lost. Did Sarah get what she deserved? Was this intentional? Malicious? Or was it merely a tragic accident in the throws of alc...

The Saga of Sarah Boone (Not Malicious)

Sarah Boone's trial has wrapped up and she has been sentenced. This after turning down a gift of 15 years (with time served) believing that she could somehow beat the charges and show the judge, jury and the court of public opinion that it was actually SHE who was the true victim (not the guy who was suffocated in a suitcase while she told him he should probably STFU). Sarah's story is one that even the most talented and creative screenplay writers could not possibly make up. People have used ma...

Suitcase Murder Sarah Boone Case

Case closed on Watts. No new updates, but will revisit as needed.

If you are unaware/unfamiliar, on February 24th, 2020, Sarah Boone and Jorge Torres, a couple who lived together were supposedly playing around, having a good time and enjoying each others company, though at some point Jorge ended up locked in a zipped up suitcase unable to break free while Sar...

Four Year Anniversary

It's now been 4 years since that dreaded morning. Like all terrible true crime tales one can wonder how things might have been averted. Was this just inevitable or was there something that could have stopped the Titanic from hitting the iceberg? One wonders how this lovely picture perfect family fell so far so fast and whether this was going to happen no matter what. In this episode I explore some of the what ifs and how things might have potentially gone differently under different circumstance...

Review of Cellmates Secrets (Watts Edition)

Breakdown of the Lifetime episode of Cellmates Secrets featuring who else??? Watts, of course. The episode depicts the perspective of those who got to know him behind bars and a snapshot of the man behind this infamous tragedy. Does it make you like him more/less? Does it make you more sympathetic towards him? Humanize him? Have compassion for him? You decide.

Letter From Chris To....????

There is a "5 page letter" circulating online which is allegedly writting by Chris. The recipient is unknown. The idea that any words, written or spoken by Chris are perceived as sacred or holy, as though he is unveiling some sort of great truth to be bestowed upon us makes me roll my eyes in the biggest way imagininable. In any case in this episode I discuss this letter and it's contents and give my two cents.

A Very Inconvenient Date

When did Chris and Nicole first meet each other? We undersatnd the conventional story that they met through work in or around May/June 2018 so why is there an entry on the timeline search of NK's phone in 2017?

Is NK Writing CW in Prison???

There was a recent article published by the Daily Mail where former inmate in the Dodge Correctional facility (now released) was friendly with Chris and Chris supposedly confided in him sharing all kinds of details about NK as well as the "the big WHY" (as in why'd he do it?). Whether you believe his credibility or that of the article is up to you. I break it down in this episode. You be the judge.

Buh Bye 35 C So What's Next??? and Big Reveal (Whatever that may be!!!). Any guesses?

According to several sources the 35C (post conviction relief attempt) has been cancelled. It's over and done! Whats next???? For weeks there had been talk of a 35C and a team of people on Team Chris to expose "the truth" (whatever that is) and find out what REALLY happened and get Chris's some overdue justice??? Why was the 35C cancelled? What's the big news about to drop in the Watts case? Could it be the thing that followers have salivated over for the past 2.5 years???

Why do People Hate NK?

I have heard people relentlessly go off on Nicole K. So much so that it almost felt as though people were more upset with her than Chris, who confessed (multiple times). Why??? Why is SHE perceived as somehow equally as bad, if not worse? Is she bad because people are certain she was involved and got off easy OR is it because they perceive her as a homewrecker or destroyed a family (even though Chris was the one cheating)? Or both???

35C Can Chris REALLY Get Out of Jail???

There is an ongoing effort to get Chris a 35C (post conviction relief). Numerous parties are vigorously working towards this potential reality. Is this what the world wants, needs, can even fathom???

Was it Premeditated?

The majority of what I have seen, read and oberved points to clear and obvious pre-meditation, but I've never been certain of this. While I believe there was SOME plan ahead of time how far in advance this was seems somewhat debateable. On one hand all the signs point to a pre-set plan, but if that is indeed the case why such a mess???

Who Called Primrose Academy and Why???

The kids went to the upscale dayschool Primrose Academy and after a 6 week Summer break were scheduled to return the morning of August 13th. They never showed up. A few people called up the school to address this. This raised alarm bells. Who called the Primrose Academy that morning and why???

American Horror Story (Nates Security Footage)

One of the creepest and most talked about aspects of this bizarre tragedy is the video displayed on next door neighbor Nate's secruity camera. It was a video from the show American Horror Story (Apocolypse). Was this simply a coincidence or a message from the beyond?

Hiding in Plain Site

Was Chris hiding a secret identity that no one was able to see? Why was it only AFTER the tragedy that there is the big reveal? Why is it no one came forward to say "knowing him one could have predicted this. There were obvious clues"? Was there ANY way for anyone within these families to have seen what was about to happen? Could anyone have intervened? Were there clues that went ignored? Or was he just an expert at presenting to the world a nice guy image so that this was just imperceptable and...

Will the Whole Truth of This Story EVER Be Fully Revealed? Or Have We Already Heard it All?

This story seems to be a bottomless pit of theories, conspiracies, and scandal. There seems to be a new one born every day. One of these claims Chris is actually innocent and that the only person Chris murdered was Shanann, but did so heroically defending his kids from their mother who was supposedly "strung out on Oxy and booze". This NOT MY theory. This of course doesn't explain why he then took his beloved children he cared so deeply for and discarded their bodies by shoving them into oil tan...

All Roads Lead Back to Watts, Interview with My Special Guest and Longtime Friend Theresa

I have talked about this story for over 2 years and have had bent the ears of friends and family and anyone willing to listen! Today I welcome a longtime friend who I can talk about ANYTHING with.

In the 20+years we've known each other this is just one of many great conversations that we normally have privately but today we are happy to discuss the Watts case and share our collective insights with those following the podcast. Our initial idea ...

Sympathy for the Devil

Why do people sympathize with Chris? Even NOW? Why? Why are there those who give him the benefit of the doubt? Why are there those who know what he did and acknowledge it fully and still give him a bit of sympathy? Does he deserve this???

Truth, Lies, Conspiracies, Pizzagate and Trente Bolte

There are no shortage of conspiarcy theories in this country and surrounding this case. It seems as though this will likely drag on for decades. It's a game of Clue or a whodone it even though we all know who did it!!! If you take the bait you can believe just about anything, as long as the person telling you is persuasive enough. What do YOU believe???

House of Games

From only a few short hours after the murders Chris NOW had to meet with the Frederick police already inside his house thanks to the quick action of Nicole (Shanann's good friend) who was deeply concerned she had not heard from her friend and was unresponsive. From this point onward Chris had to put on a major game face and try desperately to convence investigators, who at this point were only doing a wellness check and it had not yet evolved into a murder investigation that all was well, nothin...

The 111 Minute Call

What did Chris and Nicole talk about for almost 2 hours on that fateful night/morning??? More curious why doens't she remember what was discussed. Why does she refer to their conversation as less than memorable and instead explains it as "so much random stuff". To this I say really?
