Right-Wing Death Squads & Radicalization: What Led to the Allen Massacre?

A man dressed in black steps out of his car at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, and within seconds, chaos erupts. But this wasn’t a random act of violence—it was planned. Down to the entrance he used, the time of day he chose, and the arsenal he brought with him. Mauricio Garcia didn’t just want destruction; he wanted to be remembered.

In this episode, we break down how a man with no criminal record went from security guard to mass shooter. We’ll walk through the disturbing digital trail he left behind—over 300 pages of diary entries, extremist affiliations, and detailed reconnaissance of the mall weeks before the attack. From his final social media posts to the moment he opened fire, this is the story of a man who meticulously prepared for a massacre and a community left in its wake.

With disturbing details backed by investigative findings, we’ll examine Garcia’s descent into extremism, his connection to far-right ideologies, and the horrifying steps he took to ensure maximum casualties. And most importantly, we’ll look at what—if anything—has changed since.

The Internet’s First Real-Life Horror Story: The Sharon Lopatka Case

The internet in the ‘90s was the Wild West—chat rooms, shady deals, and absolutely zero regulations. But while most people were using their dial-up connection to argue about Seinfeld or play Minesweeper, Sharon Lopatka was using hers to search for something much darker. She had a request so extreme that even the most depraved corners of the web told her to log off.

But then came Bobby Glass—a mild-mannered government worker by day, a man with disturbingly aligned interests by night. When Sharon and Bobby finally met in person, things went exactly how they had planned… until they didn’t.

In this episode, we break down the story of Sharon Lopatka and the internet’s earliest brush with real-life horror. It’s a disturbing look at the collision between technology, obsession, and the kind of requests that should’ve stayed in the drafts.

Gabriel Fernandez: How a Child Asked for Help 60 Times and Was Ignored

In May 2013, eight-year-old Gabriel Fernandez was rushed to the hospital in Palmdale, California. His mother claimed he had an accident while playing with his brother. But when doctors saw the extent of his injuries—burns, broken bones, BB gun wounds, and signs of prolonged torture—they knew the truth. This was no accident.

For months, Gabriel had been subjected to unthinkable abuse at the hands of his mother, Pearl Fernandez, and her boyfriend, Isauro Aguirre. Family members, teachers, and neighbors had all tried to sound the alarm—over 60 reports were made to social services. Yet, nothing was done.

In this episode, we break down how Gabriel’s life went from love and security to absolute horror, why the system designed to protect him failed so catastrophically, and how his abusers were finally brought to justice. This is the tragic case of Gabriel Fernandez.

Buried at Fox Hollow: The Disturbing Crimes of Herbert Baumeister

For years, men were vanishing from Indianapolis, their disappearances ignored by law enforcement and dismissed as coincidence. But when a man named Tony Harris risked everything to expose the truth, the case cracked wide open. What started as a missing persons investigation led to the doorstep of Herbert Baumeister—a wealthy businessman, family man, and the owner of Fox Hollow Farm. Behind the gates of his upscale estate, police would uncover something horrifying: a burial ground.

In this episode, we break down how Baumeister evaded suspicion for years, his disturbing childhood, and the moment his carefully constructed life unraveled. We’ll also look at the evidence linking him to the I-70 Strangler murders and why even decades later, authorities are still digging—literally—for answers.

How many victims did he really leave behind? And what secrets still lie beneath Fox Hollow Farm?

How a Mob Got Away with Murder in Truckee’s Chinatown

In the late 1800s, Truckee, California, had one of the largest Chinatowns in America. Built by the Chinese laborers who helped construct the Central Pacific Railroad, it was a thriving community—until the white landowners and business owners decided they wanted it gone. What followed was a campaign of terror, arson, and outright murder, culminating in the Trout Creek Outrage—a brutal attack on Chinese workers as they slept, carried out by a group of white men who believed they had the right to erase an entire population.

Despite confessions, testimony, and political pressure to hold the attackers accountable, what unfolded in the courtroom was just as predictable as the violence itself. A system designed to protect only certain people did exactly that.

This episode unpacks how an entire town conspired to erase its Chinese residents, the violent night that sealed their fate, and how Truckee’s racist tactics were so successful they became a blueprint for others to follow.

The Axe, the Alibi, and the Yellow Jeep: The Porco Family Tragedy

When Peter Porco didn’t show up for work on November 15, 2004, his colleagues knew something was wrong. What they didn’t expect was the grim discovery waiting at his Delmar, New York, home. Peter’s morning routine had played out like clockwork—but with one horrifying difference: he had been attacked with an axe hours earlier. Even more shocking? His wife, Joan, was found upstairs, barely alive, and identified someone she knew and trusted as the attacker.

This episode unravels the dark web of lies, betrayal, and violence tied to the Porco family. From a bright yellow Jeep to a mounting pile of forgery and fraud, we’ll follow the trail of evidence that led investigators to their prime suspect: Peter and Joan’s own son, Christopher Porco.

Did Christopher commit the unthinkable, or does the truth lie somewhere in his web of deceit?
