  535: Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 Part 1 20.10.2026 53min

  Meet Matty, the self-described "twenty-year-old loser working at the vape kiosk in the mall." In 2019, bored and sort of as a joke, he made a post on his Facebook page - "shitposting" - encouraging his 41 followers that they should all storm Area 51 in three months. He created an event and went to bed. Little did he know the hell and chaos he was about to unleash as THREE MILLION PEOPLE signed up to ACTUALLY DO IT. And once the internet caught wind of this, it was just a matter of time before this became an international countdown to the day. And who knew what would happen. The only thing they knew for sure was that the US Military had orders to SHOOT TO KILL anyone who tried. FAM!

  In 2013, Gary Herpst left his wife and son and went missing.  But... they didn't seem to mind all that much and only RELUCTANTLY filed a missing person report for him.  Turns out this guy was a reeeeeeeeal piece of work - to quote The Chicks, "a missing person who nobody missed at all."  So it wasn't until 2020, when a piece of his skull was dug up by a dog, that anyone, including his neighbors, learned the truth of what happened.Find and watch "What the Neighbors Saw" on Paramount+LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

In 2021, Bridget matched with Ricky on Facebook Dating... which was apparently a thing. Ricky was ex-military and had the severe PTSD AND ADORABLE MILITARY DOG, ZEUS, to prove it.

And Bridget BECAUSE SHE'S A GOOD, KIND, EMPATHETIC PERSON was three thousand percent there for him. The only thing was, his story was a complete lie. And when Bridget notices THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS missing from her bank account, she knows Ricky has scammed her. And then, Ricky takes off. But guess what?

  529: The I-70 Killer (from "People Magazine Investigates") 29.09.2026 1h 11min

  In the spring of 1992, a madman terrorized the Midwest, killing at least six people and using Interstate 70 as both his killing field and escape route. In one of the most FRUSTRATING cases we've ever covered, there were witnesses, composite sketches, and even surveillance video, but somehow the killer has never been caught. But there were bright spots in the investigation, too - LIKE THE SURVIVOR WHO REFUSED SURGERY WHEN SHE WAS TOLD THERE WAS ONLY A 50% SURVIVAL RATE AND NOW, FULLY RECOVERED THANKS TO HER OWN BADASSERY, LIVES WITH A BULLET LODGED IN HER SPINE. Oh, and get THIS, Fam - the cops actually think they know who this piece of shit is... BUT HAVEN'T FREAKING ARRESTED HIM YET. Ugh, it's a lot, but we're gonna get through this together.

  527: The Devil in Hammond (from "Murder in the Bayou" 17.09.2026 51min

  OK, look, we love the bayou. Like, we LOVE IT. The accents, the trees, THE FREAKING GOTHIC VIBES. But what we don't love is the murder. Especially this one. On August 23, 1987, a young mother named Selonia Reed was found murdered in her car about a mile from her home. The clues were few, but there was one that was significant. A cigarette butt. In the pre-DNA 1980s, there wasn't much they could do with it. But, shockingly, it was well preserved. And though it would take THIRTY FIVE YEARS to get it done, that cigarette butt would eventually lead investigators to Selonia's killer. That's...too long. But here we are. And now let's spend some time with Selonia's friends and family--including her impeccably dressed sister--to hear about how amazing she was. Find and watch "Murder in the Bayou" on HuluLOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

  521: The Curious Case of... The Corpse Who Came to Dinner 25.08.2026 52min

  Jean Steven was very close to her sister and her husband.  Perhaps a bit... too close.  We've got a bit of an odd story today, Fam - straight out of a Hitchcock movie.  Why did Jean keep the embalmed bodies of her husband and sister IN HER HOME, and how did she get the seemingly all-too-willing characters around town to help her?  Thankfully, the ever-trusty Beth Karas is here to help us sort through the shenanigans. Find and watch "The Curious Case of...

  520: Blood on Bourbon Street (from "Fatal Destination") 20.08.2026 55min

  In July 2003, 34-year-old Shawn Johnson was in New Orleans for a conference. And he did WHAT ANY OF US WOULD DO and tacked on a few days for a little bit of fun. On his last night in town, he found himself at an infamous bar called The Dungeon where he met a group of people who he invited back to his hotel room to fill the hot tub with Champagne and continue the party. Again, like any of us would do. However, Shawn would, tragically, be found dead in the room the following morning. On the walls of the room were ripped up and torn out pages from the bible. And on the bed, the creepiest homemade doll - WITH REAL HUMAN HAIR - that was ever created. The search for Shawn's killers was a mess. But in the end, some sort of justice prevailed. But oh my god, can everyone take it down a notch? Find and watch "Blood on Bourbon Street" on HuluLOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

  519: Worst Ex Ever: Dating the Deadpool Killer 18.08.2026 1h 18min

  Fam, when they say "Worst Ex Ever" they really aren't kidding here - and giving him the "Deadpool" moniker just because he's got the same name as the comic book character? Yeesh.  This creep runs the gamut from theft to selling dogs online to rape and murder - but talks his way out of things thanks to gullible investigators, at least for a time until someone close to him turns the tables.  Lots of garbage here, so come scream along with us!Find and watch "Worst Ex Ever: Dating the Deadpool Killer" on NetflixLOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

   When 68 year old Mario Hernandez didn't show up for family dinner in March of 2005, his family knew something was terribly wrong. Mario was a family man. Nothing would have kept him from that dinner. And when the police refuse to investigate--he's a grown man, after all, he can go missing if he wants EYE ROLL RAGE EMOJI--the family takes the investigation into their own hands. What unfolds is a bizarre tale of greed, CURSES THAT NEVER HAPPENED, a killer's extremely dysfunctional family--hoooo boy are they taking the fun OUT of dysfunctional--and a supermarket employee break room THAT IS FOR EMPLOYEES ONLY. Find and watch "Jewels and Jinxes" on PeacockLOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

  OK, Fam - it's the one you've been waiting for! On October 9, 2020, 27-year-old Taylor Parker was pulled over on a Texas highway. When the cops approached the car, they found a nearly hysterical Parker holding a baby she claimed to have JUST given birth to. It would quickly be revealed that that was a lie.
