    When a teenage influencer sparks an online crush, the line between fan and follower blurs—and the fallout turns dark.

    BONUS: We're Getting a New Name!
    2025/08/12
    If you’ve caught our latest socials, you already know — we’re stepping into a new era and giving the show a glow-up! 🎉 Killer Queens will always hold a special place in our hearts, but without Tori, things are different. Instead of trying to make it what it was, we’re embracing what it is — and renaming the show This Feels Criminal. ✅ What’s changing? New name, colors, and logo A little more variety: still true crime, but mixing in cults, conspiracies, scams, and more A lighter balance — murder will still be here, just not every week ❌ What’s NOT changing? Your Patreon benefits — all episodes, all access, same as always Our heart for victims and telling these stories with compassion Our humor, curiosity, and hanging-out-with-your-friends vibe Honestly? Constant murder coverage was getting heavy, especially as my kids get older. I want to keep loving what we do and keep you loving it too — so this shift will help us all breathe a little easier. Thanks for being here, for supporting us, and for coming along for this next chapter. We can’t wait for you to see what’s next. LYLAS, Tyrella + Nikita 💖 Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Dead in the Water: Nathan Carman, Family Fortune & the Fatal Fishing Trip

    Dead in the Water: Nathan Carman, Family Fortune & the Fatal Fishing Trip
    2025/07/29
    A real-life maritime mystery meets true crime tragedy in this jaw-dropping case that rocked the Northeast. In 2016, Nathan Carman was rescued from a life raft after a supposed boating accident that left his mother, Linda, missing at sea. But behind the headlines of survival was a far more sinister story—a wealthy family, a cold case grandfather’s murder, suspicious inheritance battles, and a twisted trail of lies. From the unsolved 2013 shooting death of Nathan’s grandfather, real estate mogul John Chakalos, to the eerie circumstances surrounding the fishing trip that ended in Linda’s disappearance, this case left investigators—and the public—wondering: Was Nathan Carman the unluckiest man alive… or a calculating killer? We’ll dive deep into the family dynamics, forensic evidence, and courtroom drama—including the insurance fraud, the Slayer Rule petition, and Nathan’s shocking death behind bars before trial.
