Lauren McCluskey: The Warning Signs Were Already There (Part 2)
In the weeks before Lauren McCluskey was murdered, the danger wasn't invisible. The stalking. The lies. The escalating threats. The extortion. The repeated contact after the relationship ended. Lauren reported what was happening, asked for help, and kept trying to protect herself. So if the signs were already there, why wasn't anyone able to recognize what they meant? In Part 2, we step back from
Lauren McCluskey: Can We Tell Which Relationships Will Turn Deadly? (Part 1)
When 21-year-old University of Utah student Lauren McCluskey ended a brief relationship, she had good reason to believe she'd caught the warning signs early. The man she'd been dating had lied about his name, his age, and his criminal history. Lauren ended the relationship immediately. But he didn't leave her alone. What followed was a terrifying escalation of stalking, harassment, extortion, and
The Murder of Calum Simpson: Do We Really Treat Male and Female Victims Differently? - Part 2
After researching dozens of studies, court decisions, and primary sources, we discovered the answer wasn't nearly as simple as we expected. Do men receive more justice than women? Are women taken less seriously? Or are different myths shaping how we perceive different victims? In Part 2, we examine what the research actually says about victim credibility, gender stereotypes, reporting, prosecution
The Murder of Calum Simpson | The Question We Couldn't Ignore- Part 1
A Facebook post comparing the murder of Calum Simpson to violence against women raised a question we couldn't stop thinking about: Do we treat violence against women differently than violence against men? At first, the answer seemed obvious. Then we started reading the court records. In this episode, we tell Calum Simpson's story—from the night he met two strangers to the evidence presented in cou
A Toxic Love Story: Pretending to Be Michelle, Pretending to Be Angela- Part 2
Michelle Hadley spent 88 days in jail waiting to stand trial. Then the evidence changed everything. In Part 2, we follow the digital trail that unraveled the prosecution's case and exposed an elaborate web of fake accounts, fabricated messages, and deception hiding in plain sight. But this isn't just a story about catfishing. It's about confirmation bias, tunnel vision, and what happens when inves
A Toxic Love Story: Who Is Lilith?- Part 1
When Angela Diaz tells police she's being stalked, terrorized, and targeted through a series of increasingly disturbing messages, the evidence seems to point in one direction. Michelle Hadley. Ian Diaz's ex-girlfriend. But as investigators build their case, one question keeps getting harder to answer: Who is Lilith? In Part 1, we trace the bizarre campaign of emails, fake identities, and escalatin
Aarushi Talwar: Convicted on a Theory? Part 2
By the time investigators accused Rajesh and Nupur Talwar of killing their daughter Aarushi and Hemraj Banjade, the case had already moved through multiple suspects, disputed forensic evidence, and competing theories of what happened inside the family's Noida home. In Part 2 of the Aarushi Talwar case, Tyrella and Nikita examine the evidence used against the Talwars, including the golf club and ku
Aarushi Talwar: Wrong by Morning- Part 1
In 2008, 13-year-old Aarushi Talwar was found dead inside her family's home in Noida, India. Within hours, police had named the family's missing housekeeper, Hemraj Banjade, as their prime suspect.

Tyrella and Nikita walk through the first 24 hours of the Aarushi Talwar case — the locked bedroom, the family's nightly routine

Conor McGregor: What Happened When He Faced a Civil Jury- Part 2
After nearly six years, Nikita Hand finally walked into a Dublin courtroom and faced Conor McGregor. In Part 2, we break down the 12-day civil trial: Hand's testimony, McGregor's claim that their encounter was consensual, the CCTV footage the defense said undermined her story, the medical and physical evidence presented to the jury, and the strategies used to challenge Hand's credibility. Then, af
Conor McGregor : Why He Was Never Criminally Charged- Part 1
In 2018, Nikita Hand accused Conor McGregor of raping her in a Dublin hotel. Prosecutors declined to bring criminal charges—but six years later, Hand took McGregor to civil court.

In Part 1, we walk through what ha
Karen Read — The Lawsuit That Could Take Down Two Police Departments (Part 2)
The same week Karen Read's lawsuit went public, the man at the center of it tried to avoid testifying. A month later, a furious judge accused someone of leaking his sealed medical information to the internet — ordered 32 attorneys to certify under oath they weren't responsible, and stopped just short of a gag order. Then Read's own team fired back, arguing the entire premise was wrong. This episod
Karen Read — The Lawsuit That Could Take Down Two Police Departments (Part 1: The Complaint)
Karen Read walked out of her second trial acquitted. Weeks later, she filed a lawsuit that isn't about whether she killed John O'Keefe — it's about the two police departments that investigated her, and what they knew about the men running that investigation before they ever put them on the case. This episode: the 87-page complaint Read filed against Massachusetts State Police and the Town of Canto
Charles Guiteau: "I Merely Shot Him" | James Garfield Assassination- Pt. 2
"I did not kill the president. The doctors did. I merely shot him." That was Charles Guiteau's defense. In 1881, a failed lawyer and preacher convinced himself he'd single-handedly won James Garfield the presidency — and that the president now owed him a job. When the reward never came, he decided Garfield had to die. In Part 2 of Founding Felons Week, Tyrella and Nikita get into who Guiteau reall
Assassination of James Garfield: The Bullet Didn't Kill Him | Pt. 1

Maternal Instinct: How Taylor Parker Landed on Death Row — The Part Netflix Skipped | Pt. 2
After the guilty verdict, most people wait quietly. Taylor Parker wrote a confession to the murder — and signed it as someone else. Part 2 is the half the Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct never showed. After she was convicted of capital murder, Taylor Parker ran a months-long jailhouse operation to frame other people for the killing of Reagan Simmons-Hancock — forged confessions, fabricated c
Maternal Instinct (Netflix): How Taylor Parker Faked a Pregnancy & Murdered Reagan Hancock | Pt. 1
Before she was a Netflix documentary, Reagan Simmons-Hancock had a name, a daughter, and a baby due in weeks. This is the part the cameras skipped. The Netflix documentary Maternal Instinct tells the story of Taylor Parker, who faked a pregnancy for nearly a year — fake ultrasounds, a silicone belly, even a gender reveal — before committing one of the rarest and most disturbing crimes there is: fe
Karmelo Anthony: The Sentence That Split the Country | Pt. 2
Caysen Allison stabbed a classmate more than once and got 10 years. Karmelo Anthony stabbed Austin Metcalf once and got 35. Both said it was self-defense. Part 2 opens at Anthony's sentencing in Frisco, Texas — including the victim impact statement from Austin's mother that reframes the whole debate — then sets the case beside a strikingly similar one out of Belton: same self-defense claim, very d
Karmelo Anthony: "I'm Not Alleged. I Did It." - Pt. 1
A handcuffed 17-year-old corrects the officer reading him his situation: "I'm not alleged. I did it." Behind him, 17-year-old Austin Metcalf is dying under a track-meet tent. In April 2025, Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf — two teenagers from rival Frisco, Texas high schools who'd never met — ended up under the same tent at a district track meet. Four minutes later, one of them was gone, and th
Michael Jackson The Verdict: The Witness Who Flipped- Pt. 2
In 2005, Wade Robson swore under oath that Michael Jackson never touched him — and helped win the acquittal. In 2026, he's asking a different jury to believe the opposite. Part 2 picks up where Netflix's "The Verdict" stops. Tyrella and Nikita get into what the documentary left out: the $20M+ Jordan Chandler settlement, the Robson and Safechuck lawsuits against Jackson's companies, and the credibi
Michael Jackson The Verdict : 14 Not Guilty - Pt. 1 of 2
Fourteen counts. Not guilty on every single one. Twenty-one years later, Netflix has reopened the case — and one of Michael Jackson's own defense witnesses is about to change his story. In June 2005, Michael Jackson walked out of a Santa Barbara courtroom acquitted of all 14 child sexual abuse charges. Netflix's new three-part docuseries "The Verdict" revisits that 2005 trial, and in Part 1 Tyrell
Lindsay Clancy: The 54 Minutes & Where It Stands | Pt. 2
When Patrick Clancy walked back into that house after 54 minutes, it was silent. Three small children were in the basement. Lindsay was outside on the ground. Part 2 of TFC's Lindsay Clancy coverage picks up the night of January 24th, 2023 — the minute-by-minute timeline, the phone evidence the prosecution is relying on, and Lindsay's own account of what she says happened once Patrick left. Tyrell

Mackenzie Shirilla: 'Hell on Wheels' The Trial, The Verdict & What Dom Knew -Pt. 2
Two weeks before the crash, Dom Russo was secretly recording her. Days before he died, he used a friend's phone to do it — which tells you everything about where things were. In Part 2, Tyrella and Nikita pick up where the evidence gets undeniable: the secret recordings Dom made of Mackenzie in the days before his death, the highway incident two weeks prior where a witness heard her say "I will cr
Mackenzie Shirilla: She Threatened It Two Weeks Before- Pt. 1
Two weeks before the crash, a witness heard Mackenzie Shirilla say "I will crash this car right now." On July 31, 2022, she did — at over 100 mph, into a brick building, killing her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagan. Netflix released a documentary called The Crash. It covered the case. It did not cover everything. In Part 1, Tyrella and Nikita walk through the victims' backgro

They walk through exactly why the prosecution's job may be easy,

In Part 2, Tyrella and Nikita move from the individual cases and start interrogating the system. They break down apophenia — your brain's tendency to find patterns even where none exist — and trace exactly how one in
Missing Scientists: She Predicted Her Own Death. Then It Happened. | Pt. 1
A plasma physicist texted a former spy: "If you ever see a report that I killed myself — I most definitely did not." Then that's exactly what the report said. In under eight weeks, one Substack post turned into a White House briefing, an FBI probe, and a House Oversight Committee inquiry. The story: 11 deaths and disappearances of US government-connected scientists. But is it a pattern — or a stor
