• Ken McElroy: A Town's Revenge - EP 99

  Ken McElroy, the man who terrorized Skidmore, Missouri, for decades. With a criminal record spanning 21 charges—including theft, assault, arson, statutory rape, and attempted murder—McElroy built a reputation as an untouchable menace. Despite his long list of crimes, he served little to no jail time, avoiding punishment through legal loopholes, high-powered attorneys, and relentless intimidation of witnesses. McElroy’s reign of fear came to a head in 1980 when he shot 70-year-old grocer Bo Bowenkamp in the neck over a minor dispute. Though convicted of attempted murder, he was released on bail and continued to roam Skidmore with a loaded rifle, openly threatening those who had testified against him. The breaking point came on July 10, 1981. That morning, McElroy sat in his truck outside the D&G Tavern, unaware that a crowd of more than 30 residents had gathered. As he lit a cigarette, shots rang out from multiple firearms, killing him instantly. Despite the public nature of the killing, no one was ever charged. The boys examine the many conspiracy theories surrounding McElroy’s death—was it a coordinated execution planned by the townspeople? Did local law enforcement turn a blind eye? Or was it an act of spontaneous rage that the town collectively agreed to stay silent about? With no witnesses ever coming forward, the case remains unsolved to this day. Join Sean, Jorge, and Eric as they break down one of the most infamous acts of vigilante justice in American history.

• MH 370 Disappearance: Part Two - EP 98

  Part two of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Sean, Jorge, and Eric, explore the myriad theories that attempt to unravel the mystery of the vanished aircraft. This episode focuses on dissecting the various hypotheses surrounding the events of March 8, 2014, when MH370 lost contact and disappeared with 239 people on board. The episode opens with a discussion of the hypoxia event theory, a leading explanation that suggests a sudden lack of oxygen incapacitated everyone on board, leaving the aircraft to fly on autopilot until it ran out of fuel and crashed into the Indian Ocean. The Boys explain how a failure in cabin pressurization could lead to such a scenario, emphasizing the aircraft's continued flight on a seemingly controlled path as per the data provided by Inmarsat's satellite pings. From there, the narrative shifts to other possibilities that have captured the imagination and scrutiny of the world. The Boys consider the chilling notion of pilot suicide, discussing the intense scrutiny on Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, whose personal life and professional expertise became focal points of speculation. They discuss the lack of conclusive evidence linking him to a deliberate act, despite the discovery of a simulated flight path on his home flight simulator that intriguingly mirrored MH370’s presumed route. Next, they tackle the more unconventional and controversial theories, such as cyber hijacking, where experts speculate that external hackers could have remotely commandeered the aircraft's systems. The theory of a state-sponsored interception is also examined, alongside the outlandish and widely dismissed notion of alien abduction, which, while not supported by evidence, reflects the global fascination and myriad of questions that still surround the flight’s disappearance.

• Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Disappearance: Part One - EP 97

  Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. On March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777-200ER scheduled to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing mysteriously vanished from radar with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, sparking one of the biggest aviation mysteries in history. The episode begins with a detailed look at the pre-flight circumstances and the profiles of key crew members. Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a veteran pilot with Malaysia Airlines since 1981, boasted over 18,000 flight hours. His impeccable reputation and passion for flying make his involvement in the disappearance a central point of intrigue. Despite speculative media reports about personal issues, no evidence conclusively ties him to any wrongdoing. The co-pilot, First Officer Fariq Abdul Hamid, was in the final stages of his Boeing 777 certification, with Flight 370 being one of his last training flights. Fariq was regarded as professional and dedicated. As the aircraft took off smoothly at 00:42, everything appeared normal with the Boeing 777-200ER climbing to its cruising altitude. The routine status of the flight continued until 1:07 a.m., when the last ACARS transmission was sent, showing nothing out of the ordinary. However, at 1:19 a.m., the tone shifts as the crew performs a standard voice check-in, with the haunting last words, "All right, good night," spoken as the aircraft left Malaysian airspace. Dramatically, at 1:21 a.m., the transponder ceased transmission. The disappearance of the transponder signal marks a critical juncture in the flight’s journey, leading to the aircraft vanishing from radar screens. This pivotal moment led to an exhaustive international search and spawned numerous theories ranging from hijacking and pilot suicide to mechanical failure. The narrative then shifts to the extensive search operations that spanned the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. Despite deploying advanced technology and covering vast areas, no conclusive evidence of the aircraft was found until a flaperon was discovered on Réunion Island in 2015, confirming the aircraft had indeed met a tragic end over the ocean. In their exploration, The Boys discuss the role of Inmarsat satellite data, which played a crucial part in narrowing the search area by analyzing "pings" from the aircraft post-disappearance. This analysis suggested a southern trajectory over the Indian Ocean, away from any traditional flight paths. The episode concludes with a discussion on the aftermath of the disappearance, including the impact on the passengers' families and the aviation industry. The mystery of Flight 370 continues to evoke questions, making it a compelling story of human tragedy intertwined with technological mystery.

• Martha Moxley & The Kennedy's - Compilation

  On the night before Halloween in 1975, Martha Moxley, a vibrant 15-year-old, set out to spend the evening with friends and neighbors in the upscale community of Belle Haven, Greenwich, Connecticut. By the following morning, the quiet neighborhood would be forever scarred. Martha’s lifeless body was found in her backyard, brutally murdered with a golf club—a crime so shocking it reverberated across the nation. In the days following her death, investigators were faced with a tangled web of leads. What began as a local tragedy quickly unraveled into a case that highlighted the sharp divide between privilege and justice. The focus soon turned to the Skakel family, neighbors of the Moxleys and relatives of the Kennedy clan. Reports indicated Martha had spent her final evening with the Skakel brothers, Michael and Thomas, both of whom became central figures in the investigation. As the case developed, whispers of influence and power began to overshadow the pursuit of justice. Despite mounting suspicion and evidence, including accounts of inconsistent alibis and troubling behavior from members of the Skakel family, the investigation stalled. For years, the case remained cold, leaving Martha’s family and the community in anguish, haunted by the lack of accountability. Over the decades, the case would resurface, each time with renewed attention and controversy. In 2000, Michael Skakel, the nephew of Ethel Kennedy, was arrested and charged with Martha’s murder. His trial captivated the public as prosecutors laid out a timeline implicating Michael, citing his alleged confession to a classmate years earlier. Convicted in 2002, he was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison. However, this was far from the resolution many had hoped for. In the years following his conviction, Michael Skakel’s legal team challenged the verdict, citing insufficient representation and procedural flaws. In 2013, his conviction was overturned, and he was released on bail. The case remains a contentious topic, with ongoing debates about guilt, privilege, and the elusiveness of justice. Originally recorded and release as EP 52 and EP 53 in January 2023.
