It’s time for some true crime updates! With minimal effort, our reporting has clearly solved some of the biggest true crime cases of our lifetimes (but not really). We update some of our true crime episodes from the past, and debate the most important thing of all: can a cow kill a person?

Valentine's Day 1945 74 year old Charles Walton is murdered on his way to the fields. Carrying a slash hook, a pitchfork, and a slice of fruitcake, Charles is brutally impaled with the pitchfork and his throat is slashed with the hook. Rumors abound that a crucifix has been etched into his chest. Was he the offspring of a line of murdered witches, a worker calling out his boss on unfair wages, or, as we discuss in detail, was he murdered by a graceless cow?

On the 25th anniversary of her death, many still question the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales. Was it a tragic car accident caused by the paparazzi? Or was there something more sinister happening in the background? We discuss the People's Princess, theorize about that night, and show you that a bunch of southerners have a real difficult time speaking eloquently in their own podcast.

On August 8, 2013, Brandon Lawson left his home after an argument with his girlfriend with the intent to go to his father’s house three and a half hours away. A few hours later, he would go missing, and until 2022, he remained missing with no trace of where he went. In this episode, we talk about the night Brandon disappeared, some of theories surrounding his disappearance, and the recent discoveries that have occurred in 2022 that may answer “where is Brandon Lawson?”

A hotly disputed “unsolved” mystery, the Atlanta Child Murders turned the “City Who is Too Busy to Hate” into one of the most volatile periods of Atlanta’s history. We talk about the general overview of the murders, how law enforcement handled the case and how the main suspect was found at literally the 11th hour. We also go down a nostalgia trip about Atlanta and how it’s changed throughout the years.

In our final episode on MK-Ultra, we discuss the trial of Charles Manson and the Family, along with the ramifications of their actions that spanned for decades and how it successfully facilitated the plans of MK-Ultra. We look at other ties to the CIA and Jolly West, and some of our own theories regarding previous stories we’ve covered and the possibility of MK-Ultra’s hold spanning beyond just the cases we have discussed throughout this series.

As we enter the final phase of our look at MK-Ultra, we discuss the biggest crime of the 20th century in Hollywood—the Tate/LaBianca murders. You may not think there is any ties to MK-Ultra, Jolly West, and the CIA when it comes to Charles Manson, but get ready to forget everything you know from Helter Skelter. This first part covers an overview of Manson’s life, his move to San Francisco while on probation, and how it doesn’t appear to be coincidental that Jolly West is once again in the narrative of a major story.

This is a difficult episode to talk about. This episode is all about children who kill, and the circumstances surrounding their upbringing and subsequent lives.

We are off on our unsolved crimes rotation with a look at the horrific Keddie Cabin murders of 1981. In the small Sierra Nevada community of Keddie, the resort town was stunned in the quadruple murder of the three Sharpe family members, along with a family friend. From the beginning, the police investigation was sketchy as best, and while the murders remain “unsolved,” we delve into the police misconduct that could have led to the crimes being solved. Social distance, self-quarantine, and check out the newest episode!
