  • Lansing, Michigan Serial Killer? 5 Men Dead Along the River Trail/Troubling Truths

    Lansing, Michigan Serial Killer? 5 Men Dead Along the River Trail/Troubling Truths
    2026/10/14
    Is there a serial killer in Lansing, Michigan? Five men have died along a relatively small stretch of the Lansing River Trail, raising disturbing questions about whether someone has been deliberately targeting the city's homeless population.Between October 2025 and August 2026, Gino Chouinard, Denis Dunnebacke, Robert Smith, Daniel Lusk, and Louis Woodruff were found with devastating injuries near the trail. Four suffered significant injuries to their heads or faces, while one was fatally stabbed. Investigators believe some of these men may have been attacked while sleeping, leaving police to consider whether the deaths are connected.In this episode of Troubling Truths, Sheri, Benna, and Pauline examine the timeline of all five deaths, the similarities investigators have identified, and the growing questions surrounding the Lansing Police Department's response. Police reportedly recognized similarities between cases in July, months before a public briefing addressed all five deaths. We also discuss the families demanding answers, concerns about surveillance along the trail, and whether the city's treatment of homeless encampments may have left vulnerable people even more exposed.One man, Edward Joseph Smith, has been charged in connection with Daniel Lusk's murder, but authorities have not publicly linked him to the other deaths. Police have not confirmed that a serial killer is responsible, and important questions remain unanswered.Could someone have been hunting vulnerable men along the Lansing River Trail? Were warning signs missed? And could there be other victims or surviving witnesses who have yet to come forward?HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT THESE DEATHS?If you have any information that could help investigators, no matter how small it may seem, please contact the Lansing Police Department.Lansing Police Dedicated Tip Line: 517-483-6023Crime Stoppers: 517-483-STOP (7867)Your information could help bring answers to the families of these five men.

    2026/10/10
    For nearly two decades, Chuck Wright was one of the most powerful and recognizable figures in Spartanburg County. He built a reputation as a tough-on-crime sheriff, dominated local elections, and became a familiar face during some of the county’s biggest cases.Then it all started to unravel.In this episode of Troubling Truths, we look at the fall of former Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright through the eyes of Benna, who was raising questions long before the federal case exploded into public view.

    What happened to Jared Davis? Interview with Becki Genobles/Troubling Truths
    2026/10/07
    What happened to Jared Davis?In December 2012, 24-year-old Jared Davis left his mother’s home and hours later was found unresponsive in the back of a van after a relatively minor accident on Highway 11. His heart had stopped, doctors could not determine why, and his death was ultimately ruled undetermined.In this episode of Troubling Truths, Jared’s mother, Becki Genobles, joins us to walk through what happened that day, the conflicting witness accounts, questions surrounding evidence and toxicology, the investigation that followed, and why she is still fighting for answers nearly 14 years later.Becki is not claiming she can prove someone killed her son. She is asking a much simpler question: was everything possible actually done to find out what happened to Jared?This is Jared’s story, in his mother’s own words.Support Troubling Truths and help us keep telling these stories:

    2026/09/30
    Christa Pike’s scheduled September 30 execution was temporarily halted by a federal appeals court as her legal fight continued. Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, and the case has renewed debate over her age at the time, childhood abuse, and mental health.
    In Episode 14 of Troubling Truths, we walk through the crime, the evidence, and the fight over Pike’s death sentence. We also want you to know who Colleen was and who her family is, because behind every argument about Pike’s future is a young woman whose future was stolen.
