    Originally published on our Patreon on 6/22/26. We usually wouldn't release episodes so recent from the vault, but this was a very special one! This week, Mogab is telling the story! We're heading to the heart of Kentucky horse country for a case involving wealth, power, and murder. Seventeen-year-old Jessica Whitaker seemed to have it all. The daughter of one of the most prominent families in the Derby world, Jessica was known as a rising equestrian star with a bright future ahead of her. But after attending the Whitakers' annual Spring Soirée, she was found dead near the family pool, the victim of blunt force trauma. Police quickly focused on Daniel Preed, a worker at the Whitaker estate who was seen near the barn on the night of the murder. With an arrest made and the community eager for answers, the case appeared to be closed. But not everyone was convinced. Jessica's friend Emma believes investigators arrested the wrong person. Even her mother—a prosecutor who worked on the case—had serious doubts about Daniel's guilt. When she pushed back against the official narrative, it cost her everything. Determined to uncover the truth, Emma launches her own investigation into the secrets hidden behind the gates of one of Kentucky's most powerful families. What really happened to Jessica Whitaker?

    Razzlekahn and Dutch
    2026/06/18
    Heather Morgan wanted to be famous. Years before the world knew her as Razzlekhan—the self-proclaimed "Crocodile of Wall Street" and creator of some truly unforgettable rap videos—she built a career as an entrepreneur, writer, and startup founder. Alongside her husband, Ilya "Dutch" Lichtenstein, she cultivated a quirky online persona that seemed more cringe than criminal. But behind the scenes, federal investigators were tracking billions of dollars in stolen cryptocurrency linked to one of the largest financial crimes in history. In 2016, hackers stole nearly 120,000 Bitcoin from the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex. For years, authorities followed the money through dark web marketplaces, shell companies, gift cards, and thousands of transactions designed to hide its origin. What they expected to find were elite cybercriminals. What they found instead was a rapper named Razzlekhan and her tech-bro husband living in a luxury apartment at 75 Wall Street.

    The Murder of Peggy Carr
    2026/06/04
    When Peggy Carr suddenly became violently ill in October 1988, doctors were baffled. She complained of excruciating pain in her feet, began losing weight at an alarming rate, and eventually slipped into a coma. Then other members of her family started showing the same mysterious symptoms. As panic spread through their small Florida community, investigators discovered the family had been exposed to a rare and highly toxic poison. But how had it gotten into their home? And more importantly, who would want to target an entire family? What followed was a years-long investigation involving FBI profilers, a brilliant and eccentric suspect, and one of the most unusual undercover operations we've ever covered. This is the story of Peggy Carr, a poisoning that shocked Florida, and the hunt for a killer who believed he'd committed the perfect crime.

    The Disappearance of Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone
    2026/05/28
    In February 2005, Danielle Imbo and Richard Petrone Jr. left a bar on Philadelphia’s South Street after a fun night out with friends — and were never seen again. Even more bizarre? Richard’s massive black Dodge Dakota truck vanished with them, without leaving behind a single trace. What began as a missing persons case quickly spiraled into one of Philadelphia’s most baffling mysteries. Investigators uncovered a contentious divorce, threatening phone calls, rumors of organized crime involvement, and a possible murder-for-hire plot tied to Philly chop shops and the criminal underworld. But despite years of investigation by local police and the FBI, no arrests have ever been made and no evidence has ever definitively revealed what happened that night.

  • The McCarthy Massacre

    The McCarthy Massacre
    2026/05/21
    This week, we’re heading deep into the Alaskan wilderness to cover one of the most chilling mass murders in the state’s history — the 1983 McCarthy massacre. McCarthy wasn’t just remote… it was practically off the grid entirely. A tiny community tucked inside Wrangell-St. Elias National Park where residents crossed icy rivers by hand-powered tram, recognized each other by boot prints in the snow, and gathered every Tuesday for the biggest event of the week: mail day. But on March 1st, 1983, that quiet tradition turned into absolute horror. A man named Louis Hastings arrived with a rifle, a plan, and a terrifying mission that would leave six people dead, two more wounded, and an entire community permanently shattered. And somehow, the motive behind it all is even more unbelievable than the crime itself. This case has isolation, survival stories, a real-life sniper hunt in the snow, and one of the strangest murder plots we’ve ever covered.
