As I’m sure we all know, insurance is a neck pain. To get, to keep, to cash in – every step of the way it’s as tedious as it is crucial. But that’s exactly the issue – it is vital. In a country where medical care and hospital bills are horrifyingly expensive, being hospitalized without insurance is a one-way trip to enormous amounts of debt… and hell, even with insurance people find themselves in the red just for the sheer misfortune of falling sick. Unless you make a generous salary year on year, it always feels like you’re one bout of illness away from never making up the cost.

Love Bites: Lisa Nowak

The concept of a love triangle has probably existed for as long as relationships have themselves. From Cleopatra, Mark Antony, and Octavia to more modern-day trios such as Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Monica Lewinsky, and countless others in between. Most people enter into relationships with no interest in looking at anyone else with the same sort of affection, and some even believe they have met their soulmate. But sometimes, people decide they need more than what they have. These people need to sate their curiosity and find an answer to the burning question, “Is the grass greener on the other side?”

Snakes are long and limbless reptiles covered in overlapping scales. There are more than 3,400 species, and many have skulls with enough joints to swallow prey bigger than their heads.

Love Bites: Cinnamon Brown

We tend to think of crimes of passion as occurring between lovers, married couples, or participants in a love triangle – willing or otherwise. But passionate hatred isn’t limited to romantic or amorous relationships. After all, Cain and Abel were brothers, and the murder of Abel is recorded in the earliest books of the Christian Bible. The terms fratricide, patricide and matricide exist in common language for a reason, with origins so old the very words are written in Latin.

Dating App Dangers

We never really know who we’re interacting with online. It takes just one wrong person knowing who you are, where you live, and seemingly inconsequential details about your life for everything to turn deadly. Whether you’re a Gen Z kid or a millennial whose parents never let you use the family PC unsupervised, the internet is a dangerous place.

It’s not about the Vodou

Religious and spiritual faiths and the practices associated with them are misrepresented ridiculously often – especially so if they deviate from the norm in, say, predominantly Christian communities. In these societies, anything not adhering to strict Christian principles has historically gained the label of “occult,” and any symbolism or practices under that label are demonized across the board. This is, in most cases, an entirely unfair assumption.

The Tiktok Murders: Mahek and Ansreen Bukhari

Social media platforms are designed to be addictive, and one far too common side effect of this is that many young people spend hours scrolling through their feeds, comparing themselves to others, and feeling inadequate. Conversely, though, social media sites also give individuals with narcissistic personality traits a chance to keep the focus of their profile’s content specifically on themselves. That is, showing themselves off in the most positive and enviable light possible.

 Ezra McCandless

The phrase “You can’t have your cake and eat it too” is an idiom that dates back several centuries. Its origins can be traced to the 16th century, although the exact phrase has evolved over time. Originally, the phrase appeared in different forms, such as “you can’t eat your cake and have it” or “you can’t have your cake and eat it.” The basic meaning has always been the same: once you consume or use something, you no longer have it to show off to others, removing the possibility of having everything exactly as one wants.

Charlottesville Unsolved: Pherbia ‘Faye’ Tinsley & Sage Smith

In 2020, the FBI had a shocking admission to make regarding the homicide clearance rates of police investigations across America. That year, they hit a record low, plummeting to under 50%, and it hasn’t bounced back since. This means that roughly half of all murders remain unsolved—an unsettling statistic, especially given the current surge in murders and violent crimes.
Content Warnings: unsolved cases, murder of a trans woman

If you want to help:
There is a $2500 award for any information leading to the arrest of Pherbia ‘Faye’ Tinsley’s murderer. Anyone with information is asked to call the police department at 970-3280 or Crimestoppers at (434) 977-4000.

If you or someone you know has any information on what happened to Sage Smith or the whereabouts of Erik McFadden, please call the anonymous Crimestoppers line at (434) 977-4000. There is a $20,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest.

The Laredo Serial Killer

If you’ve been immersed in the true crime world for some time, you’re likely aware of the unfortunate reality that perpetrators of violent crime disproportionately target specific groups in our society. Women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, drug users, and sex workers often find themselves facing violence at alarmingly higher rates than the general population. Tragically, the more these factors apply to an individual, the greater their vulnerability becomes to the darkest elements of society.


Thanks to Skip Hollandsworth of Texas Monthly, whose extensive coverage of this case made today’s episode possible.

Tonya Ford & Barbara Sheehan

The alarming prevalence of domestic abuse, also known as intimate partner violence, extends globally. According to the CDC, about 41% of women and 26% of men have encountered violence from an intimate partner. These statistics are inherently skewed due to underreporting, driven by various factors such as fear of disbelief, hesitancy among minority groups based on past experiences with authorities, and men feeling ashamed to admit vulnerability.
If you believe that you or someone you know might be experiencing intimate partner violence, please visit the National Domestic Violence Hotline at www.thehotline.org or call at 800.799.7233 if you are concerned about your internet usage being monitored.

Love Bites: A Jazz Tragedy

While the myth persists that pain enhances creativity and seeking help dulls artistic abilities, some artists indeed turn to illicit substances driven by a desire for heightened experiences. Jazz guitarist Brent Vaartstra aptly notes, “Artists are pleasure seekers […] They want to feel something different, be something different, so that they may get a different result. Creative minds are never satisfied with normality; they always seek stimulation in any way, shape, or form.”

Where is Camille Dardanes Dotson? Pt 1, Presented by Sins & Survivors Podcast

Danielle Bertolini – Presented By Murder, She Told

Today, we have a special treat for you as we welcome a distinguished guest, none other than Kristen Seavey, the brilliant mind behind the Murder, She Told podcast.

In this episode, Kristen joins us to share a compelling and deeply personal case involving her friend, Danielle Bertolini. Kristen, a native Mainer, and dedicated victims’ advocate brings her unique perspective and meticulous research to unravel the mystery surrounding Danielle’s case.

Get ready for a gripping episode as Kristen guides us through the intricacies of this case. With her signature storytelling style, Kristen sheds light on the cold cases and unsolved mysteries that often lurk beneath the surface in the seemingly quiet corners of America.

From Kristen:

2014 – Fortuna, California.

In February of 2014, two women—Danielle Bertolini and Sheila Franks— went missing within one week of each other in Humboldt County, California. They were both last seen in the presence of the same man and were later known as part of the Humboldt County Missing Five.

Danielle and Sheila’s remains were later recovered near the Eel River in a similar location. Their killer hasn’t been brought to justice.

Danielle was a childhood friend of mine who grew up in Maine. Two years ago, I set out to bring light to her story and help her mother, Billie Jo, fight for justice. 2024 will mark ten years unsolved.

I have completely redone the original episodes to keep this story fresh, including updates.

This is the story of Danielle Bertolini.

SIGN THE PETITION! We are asking the Humboldt County DA to prioritize this case. You can help us make this happen. Please listen to her story and share this petition: change.org/danielleandsheila

Crimson Tales: Holiday Crime Special

We’ve chosen a slightly different path as we approach the final episode of 2023. Today’s cases will be less emotionally intense, offering a reprieve as we transition into the festive season and the new year with a lighter spirit. We will focus on incidents where, despite criminal actions, no physical harm befell anyone – those peculiar situations that prompt disbelief and make you question their authenticity.

Tamla Horsford: Unanswered Questions

The term “closure” stirs complex emotions within countless families. It’s a concept that doesn’t always sit well with those who have experienced the tragic loss of a loved one due to murder, individuals who have endured assault, and even detectives who sense that the full narrative of a victim remains untold. The question lingers: Can closure exist when there’s no way to recover what’s been taken away? No court ruling can ever resurrect a slain parent, a cherished colleague, or a best friend or erase the trauma inflicted upon a survivor of sexual assault. For many people, it’s entirely understandable that no jail time served by a perpetrator could ever compensate for the profound suffering endured by the victims and their families.

Twisted Tales of Love and Murder

Welcome back to True Crime Cases with Lanie! 🕵️‍♀️ Join me as we journey into the shadowy corners of true crime, exploring cases that defy reality and challenge our perceptions. From chilling mysteries that surpass fiction to eerie truths that eclipse imagination, our podcast dives deep into the darkest depths of criminal intrigue.

In our episode titled “Stranger Than Fiction,” we uncovered a sinister reality as a woman’s words turned deadly, echoing her own written words. And in “Babysitter Killers,” we peeled back the silver screen to reveal the chilling reflections of our darkest fears. Today, we’re delving into cases that could’ve been plucked from the heart of the musical Chicago, where women’s involvement in their husbands’ murders casts doubt on innocence.

But let’s not be swayed by speculation – today, we anchor ourselves in stark reality. Fred Oesterreich and Robert Samuels, victims entwined in stories of deceit and darkness, reveal hauntingly real tales that pose unsettling questions about the lengths people go to rid themselves of a spouse. Join us as we uncover the harrowing murders of Fred Oesterreich and Robert Samuels.

Double Jeopardy

Welcome to True Crime Cases with Lanie, the podcast that deepens into captivating criminal mysteries. Today’s episode explores the intriguing concept of double jeopardy, a fundamental principle in legal systems worldwide. Double jeopardy generally ensures that individuals cannot be retried for previously acquitted charges. However, as we’ll discover, this law has exceptions and complexities.

We examine real-life cases where suspects were initially found not guilty but later faced retrial, resulting in their eventual incarceration many years after the original crimes. Join us as we unravel the nuances surrounding double jeopardy laws and delve into the circumstances that led to these unexpected outcomes.

But before we begin, a content warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including the murder of children and the rape/sexual assault of a woman and a teenager. Please listen with caution.

They ALMOST got away with it…

In recent years, DNA has played a pivotal role in cracking cold cases, bringing justice to victims who have long been denied closure. One of the most notable successes was the identification of the Golden State Killer/East Area Rapist four decades after his notorious crime spree began. Today, we delve into the captivating stories of two other criminals who almost escaped the grasp of justice… until DNA intervened.

⚠️ Content Warnings: This episode contains discussions about cold cases, murder, sexual assault, and mentions of child endangerment. Listener discretion is advised.

Influence of a Butterfly: Chaos Theory and a Murder Case

You’ve probably heard of the term “the butterfly effect.” It comes from chaos theory, the idea that something as small and seemingly insignificant as a butterfly flapping its wings could influence the path of a tornado that forms weeks later. Today, an appeal in Arkansas could have led to a retrial for a man who had been given a death sentence in Idaho a year earlier – after over 20 years of robberies, rapes, and murders.

Note: This episode discusses sensitive topics such as sexual assault, murder, sexual abuse, and the killing of minors. Please seek appropriate support if you are affected by these issues.

SPONSORS: Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, but indoor air could be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air, causing health risks. Almost half the population lives in areas with unhealthy air pollution levels. Airborne allergens like pollen, pet dander, and mold are common triggers for allergies and asthma. Introducing AirDoctor, an air purifier that CNN, Money, ABC, and more have featured. With its UltraHEPA filter, AirDoctor removes 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, including particles as small as 0.003 microns. It can circulate the air in a 630+ square foot room 4 times per hour and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Use promo code TCFC at airdoctorpro.com for up to 30% off or up to $300 off.

Beyond The Bars

Step into the complex and contentious world of the death penalty in the United States – a topic that has haunted the country’s history for centuries.

The Carr Brothers

Wichita, Kansas, was a glorious snowy sight on the night of December 14th, 2000. The snow muffled all sound, and Christmas decorations twinkled warmly through the gloom… something that gave a faint glimmer of hope to a 25-year-old woman. The decorations shone as a light to guide her as she stumbled for nearly a mile across snowy grounds and over a barbed wire fence, freezing and severely injured, to seek help from anywhere and anyone who would offer it.

Content Warnings: sexual assault, domestic abuse, child abuse, mentions of substance abuse and attempted suicide

Stranger Than Fiction

It’s an almost laughable headline – “woman googles how to murder her husband.” Though the truth may be stranger than fiction, clickbait is precisely that – bait to get you to look at the story, a hook to spread it as far as possible so that news sites get as much traffic and, therefore, ad revenue as they can. But behind these humorous clickbait headlines are always stories of lives cut short and tragedies befalling people who just wanted to love and care for their spouses, only for them to turn around and commit the most permanent of all betrayals against them.

Content Warnings: This episode discusses mental health issues, manipulation, mentions of suicide

Introducing COLD: The Search for Sheree

Sheree Warren left her job in Salt Lake City on a mild October evening in 1985.
She told a coworker she was headed to meet her estranged husband, Charles
Warren, at a car dealership. But she never made it, Sheree vanished.

When her car mysteriously surfaced weeks later, hundreds of miles away in Las Vegas, no
one could say how it got there.


When a young mother disappears under unexplained circumstances, police
always turn suspicious eyes towards the husband. And although there was
distrust around Charles Warren, he wasn’t the only suspect when Sheree went
missing. She also had a boyfriend, a former cop named Cary Hartmann, who
lived a sinister double life.


Season three follows two suspects– men who both raised suspicion for
investigators. But with two strong persons of interest with competing facts and
evidence, it muddied the murder investigation. This season, host Dave Cawley,
digs into the lives of these two men, the details of the case and examines the
intersections between domestic abuse and sexual violence. The COLD team
seeks to answer the question: what really happened to Sheree Warren?
Hey Prime Members, you can binge all 10 episodes of COLD:

The Search for Sheree ad-free on Amazon Music.

Wondery Presents: Stolen Hearts

Sergeant Jill Evans is a small-town cop in Wales with an impressive record in her job, and a less-than-impressive record in her love life. After three engagements, two divorces, and one affair, she’s beginning to worry that love is only true in fairy tales. That is until she meets: Dean. He’s a wealthy beauty entrepreneur with his own range of toiletries.

Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. They kiss and fall in love. Roll credits.

But that would be boring, wouldn’t it? Instead, this is a love story like no other. It’s all going so well for Jill and Dean, until Halloween night when Dean disappears. And Sgt. Jill is left to pick up the pieces.

From Wondery and Novel, comes a new series. Hosted by Kerry Godliman.

Today, we look at a case that threatens the integrity of a prominent forensic scientist, and the ground-breaking case that helped cement that same scientist’s career.

Content Warnings: this episode contains a discussion of murder, assault on a pregnant woman, discrediting of an individual with mental illnesses, and investigative negligence/corruption.

Wondery Presents: Frozen Head

Hosted by Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart from the hit show Morbid. When 90-year-old Laurence Pilgeram drops dead on the sidewalk outside his condo, you might think that’s the end of his story. But, really, it’s just the beginning. Because Laurence and others like him have signed up to be frozen and brought back to life in the future. And that belief will pull multiple generations of the Pilgeram family into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, gold coins, grenades, fist fights, mysterious packages, family feuds, Hall of Fame baseball legends, and frozen heads — lots of frozen heads. From Wondery, comes a story about life, death, and what comes next. Follow Frozen Head on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.
