The Crime Capsule - Sonia "Sunny" Jacobs and Jesse Tafero 25.06.2026 1h 15min

On this episode of Wife of Crime we are going back to a case that has impacted me for over 10 years. Sonia "Sunny" Jacobs and her husband Jesse Tafero were 2 self described hippies who needed a ride when their car broke down. Walter Rhodes, a co worker of Jesse's gave the family that ride and what started off as an innocent favor would turn into a series of events that would change Sunny, Jesse and their 2 children's lives forever! Sunny would spend the next 17 years fighting for freedom in a system that worked hard against her. Through it all she would spend her time in jail spreading love and positivity, teaching everyone she could about the power of meditation. Sunny sadly passed away last year in June 2025. We want to honor her with this episode and use her story as a reminder that no matter what you're faced with keep pushing and keep hope alive. It all starts with your mindset!

In Part 2, we slow everything down and take a closer look at the details, the evidence, the timelines, the medical findings, and the theories that try to explain what happened inside that house. Because this is a case where the devil really is in the details, and the deeper you go, the more things start to fall apart. Every piece seems to explain something, but never everything… leaving behind a story that, no matter how many times you try to put it together, never fully comes together.

*BONUS* A Trial By Podcast presents- Dr. Farid Fata 05.02.2026 1h 41min

Imagine being told you have cancer—a diagnosis that instantly upends your life—and then enduring months or even years of brutal chemotherapy. Now imagine learning that your doctor forced you to undergo three to four times the standard amount of treatment, or kept you on chemotherapy long after you were in remission, all while you believed you were still fighting for your life. Worst of all, imagine discovering that you never had cancer at all—and that your doctor knew it the entire time. These nightmares became reality for hundreds of patients in Michigan under the care of Dr. Farid Fata, an oncologist who betrayed the very people who trusted him with their lives. In one of the most egregious cases of medical fraud in U.S. history, Fata subjected healthy patients—or those with minor, manageable conditions—to unnecessary and devastating cancer treatments, all to enrich himself. This is the rise and fall of Dr. Farid Fata.
