It's 2004 and a UMass college student is driving at night in the dead of winter. She crashes her car on a desolate New Hampshire road. The airbags go off, and someone across from the crash site calls 911. By the time the police arrive, the car is locked, there's a rag stuffed in her tailpipe, and Maura Murray is just...gone.

In Episode 2, I talk about the timeline, a man with an ever-evolving story, a Chrysler part found at the scene and the rag in the exhaust. What happened? Did Maura run? Did someone pick her up? Or...did someone make her disappear on purpose?

True Crime Documentary

In Episode 5 of our deep dive into the Steven Avery trial, everyone's ready in the courtroom, and before the jury even walks in, the prosecution and defense are already fighting about what can and can’t be said.

Ken Kratz tries to slam the defense for suggesting someone else might have killed Teresa Halbach — but Dean Strang isn’t having it. We break down what the “Denny ruling” really means in plain English (spoiler: you can’t just blame some mystery person without proof).

Then, we hear from Angela Schuster, Teresa’s boss at AutoTrader. She explains how Teresa did these photo shoots, how “hustle shots” worked, and could it be possible that Teresa left the Avery property to head off to another shoot?

True Crime Documentary

In this episode of Beach House 34, we dive into the first witness called by the state in Steven Avery’s murder trial: Michael Halbach, the younger brother of Teresa Halbach.

We’ll walk through Mike’s testimony, hear about Teresa’s routines, her photography business, her car, and the early days of the search. But we also hit a few red flags—exhibit confusion, awkward phrasing, and a clunky presentation by Ken Kratz.

Meanwhile, Dean Strang steps up for the defense and starts laying the groundwork for something deeper. Stick around. It’s just getting started.

Murray vanished on February 9, 2004 — to this day she has not been located. This story is messy, confusing, and mind-bending.

This is Part 1 of my three-part series covering Maura’s final known days. In this episode, we walk through the timeline — the breakdown at work, the suspicious hit-and-run theory, her father’s unexpected visit, the guardrail crash, and the lies she told just before she disappeared.

True Crime Trial

Steven Avery spent 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Now he’s back on trial—this time for the murder of Teresa Halbach. In this episode, we hear the full opening statement from Avery’s defense attorney, Dean Strang.

He lays out a case that includes police tunnel vision, timelines that don't add up, and evidence that doesn't make any sense.  By the end, you’ll be questioning everything—from the burn barrels to that mysterious Toyota key.

⚖️ This is a real-time, word-for-word trial read. No fluff. No filter. And I’m reacting with you as we go.

If you haven’t heard Episode 1 yet, go back and start there—we covered the prosecution’s opening. Things are just getting started.

True Crime Documentary

After 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Steven Avery was finally free. He was suing Manitowoc County for $36 million—until 25-year-old Teresa Halbach disappeared. Two years after his release, Avery was back in court. This time, for murder.

In this episode, we begin with Day 1 of the 2007 jury trial: the prosecution’s opening statement.

True Crime Documentary

Ray and Faye Copeland looked like your average grandparents—he wore overalls, she baked pies—but what they were hiding on their quiet Missouri farm in 1989 would shock the entire country.

This episode dives deep into the chilling case of the oldest couple ever sentenced to death in the U.S.—uncovering decades of fraud, manipulation, and murder. How did a couple with six kids and dozens of grandkids end up running a deadly scam that left drifters buried in barns and wells?

This isn't your typical true crime story.

On July 9, 2014, a man in a FedEx uniform knocked on the door of a house in Sprint, Texas. Minutes later, six members of the Stay family were dead but one was not. The intruder however, didn't know this. 15-year-old Cassidy played d**d, waited for the man to leave, and then called 911.

This single act of courage prevented ever further family deaths.

None of this though would have happened if this man wasn't free to do what he wanted. Years of domestic abuse orders, years of falling through the cracks, all led up to this moment.

On April 7, 2008, Kathleen and Carl Schroll were found shot to death in their Kansas City, Kansas home. Within hours, a man named Pete Coones was arrested—and within months, he was sentenced to life in prison. What followed was more than a wrongful conviction. It was a case that exposed the deep cracks in a justice system where evidence was buried, witnesses were manipulated, and police were protected by silence.
