This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Podcast (Formerly Killer Queens)

Castle Rock v. Gonzales: She Had a Restraining Order. Police Told Her to Wait. | Part 1 15.09.2026 57мин

Jessica Gonzales did everything the system told her to do. She got a restraining order against her estranged husband. Colorado law said police had to enforce it — the word "shall" was written right into the statute. So when her three daughters went missing on the night of June 22, 1999, Jessica called Castle Rock police. And called them again. And again — nine times over the course of ten hours, showing officers the order and telling them exactly where her husband was. Each time, she was told to wait. This episode kicks off a new Question Arc: if we can recognize danger before it becomes deadly, why don't we act on it? Jessica's case is where we're starting — not with the Supreme Court decision that would eventually make Castle Rock v. Gonzales a landmark case, but with the night itself, hour by hour, exactly as she lived it. We're holding the rest for Part 2. Because before we ask what the law required police to do, you need to understand what they actually did. TW: Child Murder 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

Death of a Pastor's Wife Part 2: She Asked for Help. Was the Law Built to Hear Her? 10.09.2026 56мин

By 2024, Mica Miller was leaving her marriage. She was documenting what she said was happening to her, working with an attorney, seeking legal protection—and telling friends she was afraid. Then, on April 27, Mica called 911 from a state park in North Carolina. Hours later, she was dead. In Part 2 of our coverage of Death of a Pastor's Wife, we walk through Mica's final weeks, the day of her death, the investigation and extraordinary aftermath. And the question from Part 1 follows her outside the church: What happens when someone finally recognizes coercive control and asks for help—but the systems around her aren't built to recognize the danger in time? 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

Death of a Pastor's Wife Part 1: When Control Sounds Like Faith 08.09.2026 1ч 5мин

Mica Miller was 13 when she first met John-Paul "JP" Miller—the pastor who would eventually become her husband. Long before their relationship became romantic, JP had already become her pastor, mentor, trusted adult, and spiritual authority. In Part 1 of our coverage of Netflix's Death of a Pastor's Wife, we trace their relationship from its beginning through the disturbing allegations about what Mica experienced behind closed doors. But Mica's story raises a much bigger question: What happens when coercive control has the language of God behind it? We're talking spiritual abuse, submission and "helpmate" theology, the very different ways shame and grace can be distributed inside the church—and what happens when the person claiming God's authority is also the person no one seems able to hold accountable. 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

The Lindsay Clancy Trial, Part 2: The Commonwealth's Own Experts Push Back 04.09.2026 1ч 26мин

In Part 2 of our coverage of the Lindsay Clancy trial, we hear from Lindsay's family, the hospital chaplain who spent hundreds of hours with her after the deaths of her children, and Dr. Phillip Resnick—a nationally recognized forensic psychiatrist and expert on filicide who evaluated Lindsay and concluded she was not criminally responsible. Then the Commonwealth calls three psychiatric experts of its own in rebuttal. They ultimately agree with prosecutors on the question that matters most: Lindsay was criminally responsible. But getting there produces some of the most surprising testimony of the entire five-week trial—and at times, the Commonwealth's own experts seem to complicate the case prosecutors spent weeks building. One exchange in particular forces a Commonwealth expert to confront the prosecution's own opening theory head-on. His answer is one of the biggest moments of the trial. Finally, both sides make their closing arguments and give the jury two dramatically different explanations for the same evidence. Lindsay Clancy killed her children. That has never been disputed. After five weeks of testimony, the question the jury must finally answer is the one this entire trial has been building toward: Was she criminally responsible when she did it? 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

The Lindsay Clancy Trial, Part 1: What Did the Commonwealth Actually Prove? 01.09.2026 1ч 19мин

For weeks, the Commonwealth built its case against Lindsay Clancy. But as witness after witness took the stand, some of the testimony began to complicate the story prosecutors had laid out for the jury. In Part 1 of our coverage of the Lindsay Clancy trial, Tyrella walks Nikita—who hasn't been following the trial day-to-day—through the Commonwealth's case from opening statements through the end of its case-in-chief. Lindsay does not dispute that she killed her three children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The question at the center of this trial is whether she was legally criminally responsible when she did it. We break down Patrick Clancy's testimony, Lindsay's mental-health treatment and medication history, the prosecution's timeline and theory of the crime, and what the Commonwealth's own witnesses actually told the jury. Because by the time the prosecution rested, the question wasn't simply what evidence they had presented. It was how well their theory held up against it. 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

Keffe D on Trial for Tupac's Murder: "My Client Is Full of Crap" 28.08.2026 43мин

For years, Duane "Keffe D" Davis publicly told versions of the story of Tupac Shakur's murder—in interviews, a documentary, and even his own memoir. Now those statements are at the center of the prosecution's case against him. But Keffe D's defense has a pretty unusual response: you can't believe him because he's "full of crap." In Part 2, we break down the opening statements in Keffe D's murder trial and the dramatically different stories being presented to the jury. Prosecutors say Keffe D orchestrated Tupac's killing as retaliation for the beating of his nephew, Orlando Anderson. The defense argues that Keffe D lied and exaggerated for years—and that corrupt law enforcement, missing evidence, conflicting witness accounts, and a deeply flawed investigation leave plenty of room for reasonable doubt. We also get into the controversial proffer agreement behind Keffe D's original statements, his memoir, the alleged murder weapon, the defense's police-corruption theory, and the major witnesses who could take the stand as the trial unfolds. After nearly 30 years, someone is finally on trial for Tupac Shakur's murder. But can prosecutors prove their case when their most important witness against Keffe D may be…Keffe D himself? 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

Who Killed Tupac? The Murder, the Suspects & the Case Against Keffe D | Part 1 25.08.2026 43мин

Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was shot and killed on the Las Vegas Strip, a man is finally on trial for his murder. On September 7, 1996, Tupac and Death Row Records founder Suge Knight were leaving the Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas when a white Cadillac pulled alongside their BMW and someone opened fire. Tupac was hit four times. Six days later, he died at just 25 years old. For decades, theories about his murder have implicated rival gangs, the East Coast–West Coast rap feud, Suge Knight, Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, and more. But the case remained unsolved—until investigators turned their attention to a man who had spent years publicly talking about what happened that night: Duane "Keffe D" Davis. In Part 1, we break down the events leading up to Tupac's murder, the MGM Grand fight that may have set everything in motion, the original investigation, the suspects, Keffe D's extraordinary history of interviews and admissions, and how his own words eventually helped put him on trial almost three decades later. Because after nearly 30 years of theories about who killed Tupac, a jury is finally going to hear the case. 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

Lauren McCluskey: The Warning Signs Were Already There (Part 2) 20.08.2026 53мин

In the weeks before Lauren McCluskey was murdered, the danger wasn't invisible. The stalking. The lies. The escalating threats. The extortion. The repeated contact after the relationship ended. Lauren reported what was happening, asked for help, and kept trying to protect herself. So if the signs were already there, why wasn't anyone able to recognize what they meant? In Part 2, we step back from Lauren's case to ask the bigger question we've been working toward: Can we actually tell which abusive relationships are most likely to turn deadly? We look at what researchers know about intimate partner homicide, the warning signs that matter most, why some seemingly terrifying behaviors aren't as predictive as we might assume, and what happens when known risk factors are scattered across different people and systems instead of being seen together. Because the problem may not be that there are no warning signs. It may be that recognizing them is only the beginning.

Lauren McCluskey: Can We Tell Which Relationships Will Turn Deadly? (Part 1) 19.08.2026 49мин

When 21-year-old University of Utah student Lauren McCluskey ended a brief relationship, she had good reason to believe she'd caught the warning signs early. The man she'd been dating had lied about his name, his age, and his criminal history. Lauren ended the relationship immediately. But he didn't leave her alone. What followed was a terrifying escalation of stalking, harassment, extortion, and repeated attempts to get help — ending less than three weeks later with Lauren's murder on the campus where she lived and went to school. Lauren's case leaves behind an agonizing question: when we look back after someone has been killed, the warning signs can seem painfully obvious. But are they actually obvious before the violence happens? In Part 1, we begin Lauren's story and ask a much bigger question: Can we tell which abusive relationships are most likely to turn deadly? Because if we can identify danger before someone is killed, that changes the question of what we should be doing about it. 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

The Murder of Calum Simpson: Do We Really Treat Male and Female Victims Differently? - Part 2 13.08.2026 32мин

After researching dozens of studies, court decisions, and primary sources, we discovered the answer wasn't nearly as simple as we expected. Do men receive more justice than women? Are women taken less seriously? Or are different myths shaping how we perceive different victims? In Part 2, we examine what the research actually says about victim credibility, gender stereotypes, reporting, prosecution, and sentencing—and why the evidence challenged some of our own assumptions. Because the biggest surprise wasn't whether gender matters. It was how it matters. 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

The Murder of Calum Simpson | The Question We Couldn't Ignore- Part 1 11.08.2026 52мин

A Facebook post comparing the murder of Calum Simpson to violence against women raised a question we couldn't stop thinking about: Do we treat violence against women differently than violence against men? At first, the answer seemed obvious. Then we started reading the court records. In this episode, we tell Calum Simpson's story—from the night he met two strangers to the evidence presented in court—and explain why one social media post sent us down a much bigger investigation. This is Part 1 of a two-part series. In Part 2, we leave the courtroom and follow the research to see whether the evidence actually supports what we thought when we started. 🧵 New to This Feels Criminal?

A Toxic Love Story: Pretending to Be Michelle, Pretending to Be Angela- Part 2 06.08.2026 41мин

Michelle Hadley spent 88 days in jail waiting to stand trial. Then the evidence changed everything. In Part 2, we follow the digital trail that unraveled the prosecution's case and exposed an elaborate web of fake accounts, fabricated messages, and deception hiding in plain sight. But this isn't just a story about catfishing. It's about confirmation bias, tunnel vision, and what happens when investigators become so convinced they've found the right suspect that every new piece of evidence seems to prove they're right. We thought this was a story about obsession. It turned out to be a story about assumption. New here? Start with the cases that define This Feels Criminal.

A Toxic Love Story: Who Is Lilith?- Part 1 04.08.2026 43мин

When Angela Diaz tells police she's being stalked, terrorized, and targeted through a series of increasingly disturbing messages, the evidence seems to point in one direction. Michelle Hadley. Ian Diaz's ex-girlfriend. But as investigators build their case, one question keeps getting harder to answer: Who is Lilith? In Part 1, we trace the bizarre campaign of emails, fake identities, and escalating threats that convinced police they had found the person responsible. Along the way, we ask a bigger question: How much of an investigation is driven by evidence... and how much is driven by the story everyone already believes?

Aarushi Talwar: Convicted on a Theory? Part 2 31.07.2026 49мин

By the time investigators accused Rajesh and Nupur Talwar of killing their daughter Aarushi and Hemraj Banjade, the case had already moved through multiple suspects, disputed forensic evidence, and competing theories of what happened inside the family's Noida home. In Part 2 of the Aarushi Talwar case, Tyrella and Nikita examine the evidence used against the Talwars, including the golf club and kukri theories, the forensic and investigative failures, their 2013 conviction and life sentences, and the 2017 Allahabad High Court decision that acquitted them. How did an investigation this troubled produce a conviction? And when does following the evidence become forcing the evidence to fit a theory? Listen to Part 1 first for the crime scene and the chaotic first 24 hours of the investigation. Content note: This episode discusses the death of a minor and includes non-graphic discussion of forensic and autopsy findings.

Aarushi Talwar: Wrong by Morning- Part 1 28.07.2026 49мин

In 2008, 13-year-old Aarushi Talwar was found dead inside her family's home in Noida, India. Within hours, police had named the family's missing housekeeper, Hemraj Banjade, as their prime suspect. There was one enormous problem: they hadn't searched the entire property. Tyrella and Nikita walk through the first 24 hours of the Aarushi Talwar case — the locked bedroom, the family's nightly routine, the initial crime scene investigation, the search for Hemraj, and the discovery that completely upended the police's first theory. It's a case that raises a question at the heart of This Feels Criminal: what happens when investigators decide what happened before they've finished looking at the evidence? Part 2 covers the shifting suspects and theories, disputed forensic evidence, the Talwars' conviction, and the High Court decision that ultimately acquitted them. Content note: This episode discusses the death of a minor.

Conor McGregor: What Happened When He Faced a Civil Jury- Part 2 23.07.2026 1ч 1мин

After nearly six years, Nikita Hand finally walked into a Dublin courtroom and faced Conor McGregor. In Part 2, we break down the 12-day civil trial: Hand's testimony, McGregor's claim that their encounter was consensual, the CCTV footage the defense said undermined her story, the medical and physical evidence presented to the jury, and the strategies used to challenge Hand's credibility. Then, after six hours and ten minutes of deliberation, the jury returned its verdict. We follow what happened next—including the damages awarded, McGregor's appeals, and what the case says about the way sexual assault allegations are investigated, prosecuted, defended, and discussed. And as McGregor attempted to stage a public comeback, we return to the part of his story that shouldn't be erased: the civil jury verdict Nikita Hand fought nearly seven years to obtain. To be clear: This episode is based on the evidence presented in court and the public record. If you're looking for a defense of Conor McGregor, this probably isn't the episode for you. Content warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of sexual assault, physical injuries, and trauma.

Conor McGregor : Why He Was Never Criminally Charged- Part 1 21.07.2026 40мин

In 2018, Nikita Hand accused Conor McGregor of raping her in a Dublin hotel. Prosecutors declined to bring criminal charges—but six years later, Hand took McGregor to civil court. The medical evidence documented extensive injuries. McGregor's DNA placed him at the scene. But prosecutors ultimately declined to bring criminal charges. Nikita Hand didn't stop there. In Part 1, we walk through what happened that day according to the evidence and testimony, the aftermath of the alleged assault, the decision not to prosecute, and the years-long road to a civil courtroom—including the terrifying attack at Hand's home just months before the trial began. To be clear: This episode is based on the evidence presented in court and the public record. If you're looking for a defense of Conor McGregor, this probably isn't the episode for you. Content warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of sexual assault, physical injuries, and trauma. Part 2 covers the trial, the verdict, and McGregor's comeback, dropping Thursday.

Karen Read — The Lawsuit That Could Take Down Two Police Departments (Part 2) 16.07.2026 55мин

The same week Karen Read's lawsuit went public, the man at the center of it tried to avoid testifying. A month later, a furious judge accused someone of leaking his sealed medical information to the internet — ordered 32 attorneys to certify under oath they weren't responsible, and stopped just short of a gag order. Then Read's own team fired back, arguing the entire premise was wrong. This episode: the deposition wars playing out across three separate lawsuits, a retired lieutenant's failed fight to avoid his own subpoena, a young witness caught between a court order and Army basic training, and the timestamp discrepancy that Read's lawyers say unravels the whole leak story. Plus: what happened to the second officer at the center of this — and what any of it actually means for two police departments that would very much like this to go away. ⚠️ Content warning: this episode continues the discussion from Part 1 and includes references to the same explicit language quoted in court filings.

Karen Read — The Lawsuit That Could Take Down Two Police Departments (Part 1: The Complaint) 14.07.2026 1ч 4мин

Karen Read walked out of her second trial acquitted. Weeks later, she filed a lawsuit that isn't about whether she killed John O'Keefe — it's about the two police departments that investigated her, and what they knew about the men running that investigation before they ever put them on the case. This episode: the 87-page complaint Read filed against Massachusetts State Police and the Town of Canton, the decade of texts from lead investigator Michael Proctor and Canton Sergeant Sean Goode that the lawsuit calls a "cesspool of abject hatred," and the separate federal complaint — quietly incorporated into this filing — that lays out, allegation by allegation, how Read's team says the investigation itself was manufactured. We're not re-litigating the murder case. Two juries already did that. This is about what happens after — institutional accountability, not a verdict. ⚠️ Content warning: this episode includes racist, antisemitic, homophobic, and misogynistic language quoted directly from a public court filing, including slurs.
