The crime quickly spiraled into decades of unanswered questions, shifting suspects, and unsettling theories.

    Love the show? Have any thoughts? Click here to let us know!

    This week, we head to the west coast where Kenzie’s friend Ben joins us to discuss all things scary in the Golden State, California! Kenzie discusses the complicated relationship people have with doctors, modern medicine, and the quack science in our society. First, she’ll tell you about Dr. Ruth Drown who claimed to have created a machine that can diagnosis *and* treat patients even if they are across the county. Next, she’ll share how Dr. Richard Boggs *almost* got away with the perfect murder. Should people blindly trust medical professionals? Or, should people distrust modern medicine completely? Join us as we dive into these two California medical mysteries!

  • Ep.243 Missouri’s Deadly Diagnosis

    Love the show? Have any thoughts? Click here to let us know!

    On this week’s episode, we welcome one of Kenzie’s best friends, Lindsay, as we travel to the Show-Me State, Missouri! Kenzie shares the strange and unsettling story of the prominent Swope family, whose household was rocked by a series of sudden deaths in a very short period of time. The family’s trusted in-house doctor insisted the deaths were from natural causes, but the nurses caring for the patients began to question his treatment methods and the care being provided. Was the Swope family simply the victim of tragic coincidence? Or was something far more sinister unfolding behind closed doors? Join us as we dig into a century-old case that remains controversial and debated to this day.

    Love the show? Have any thoughts? Click here to let us know!

    This is the first week without our fabulous Lauren as we head towards the bitter cold of the Last Frontier State, Alaska. Kenzie’s cousin, Emily, joins her to discuss the brutal crimes of maybe-kinda-sorta serial killer, Brian Steven Smith. Police believe they have all the evidence and answers they need, but little did they know that Mr. Smith had more to share. If it wasn’t for the bravery of two women in the Anchorage community, this murderer would have never been brought to justice. Join us as we chisel away at this violent, Alaskan horror story.
