Three weeks after 9/11, a man in Florida is rushed to the hospital with a mysterious illness. As soon as doctors realize what’s killing him, it sets off one of the largest and most bizarre FBI investigations in U.S. history. Anthrax. In the mail. Targeting the media and members of Congress. And absolutely no one was prepared for what came next.

The Disappearance of Malcom Madsen
In 2018, 68-year-old Canadian expat Malcom Madsen vanished after a night out in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. What looked like a celebration quickly turned into a mystery that would take years—and a relentless daughter’s fight for justice—to unravel.
With shocking surveillance footage, missing money, and a trail of corruption, this case is as heartbreaking as it is unbelievable.

FROM THE VAULT: The Turpin Family
We will return from our break in just a few weeks, and in the meantime we hope you enjoy this bonus episode from 2023!
Early in the morning on January 14, 2018, police in Perris, California performed a welfare check at 160 Muir Woods Road. David and Louise Turpin took several minutes to answer the door, and when they did, they looked terrified. Louise’s eyes were huge, and they were breathing heavily. Their decades-long secret was about to be revealed, but deputies were not prepared for what was inside that house.

FROM THE VAULT: The legendary Eddie Aikau
Originally released as a Mini Creep on our Patreon on 12/9/24!
Today Mogab tells Kristin all about one of her absolute heroes: The man, the myth, the legend: Eddie Aikau. Eddie was more than just a legendary surfer—he was a true waterman, lifeguard, and Hawaiian icon. Known for riding massive waves at Waimea Bay and for saving hundreds of lives as Oahu’s first lifeguard on the North Shore, Eddie lived his life with courage and aloha. But his story goes deeper than surfing, with a fateful journey on the Hokule’a canoe cementing his place in history and his bittersweet legacy, one that still echoes in Hawaii and beyond. Eddie would go!

FROM THE VAULT: The Murder of Janett Christman
While we're on break, we're busting open the vault and releasing some of our favorite bonus episodes we've done over the years, so please enjoy this bonus episode from 2022!!
This is a case that inspired everything from the movie When A Stranger Calls to the urban legend The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs. Think "the call is coming from inside the house." It was March 18, 1950, a truly dark and stormy night. In Columbia, Missouri, 13 year old Janett Christman arrived at the Romack's home to babysit their 3 year old son. The boy was already sleeping when Janett arrived, so it should have been an easy night. But when the Romack's returned late that night, they found a horrible scene. Janett had been raped and strangled with an electric cord. As law enforcement investigates, they are stunned to see so many similarities between Janett's murder and another murder that happened nearby, 4 years previously.
