In March 2025, 19-year-old twin brothers Qaadir and Naazir Lewis were found fatally shot near the summit of Bell Mountain in northern Georgia, a haunting scene that sent shockwaves through their family and the community. Authorities ruled it a double suicide. But from the start, the Lewis family has cried foul, insisting the boys were happy, hopeful, and headed to Boston, not to their deaths.

In this deeply personal and investigative episode, Dr. Dee unpacks the chilling timeline, conflicting narratives, and unanswered questions that continue to swirl around the case. From cellphone pings and search history to racial tensions and historical mistrust, this story probes deeper than headlines ever dared.

Light your cigar, breathe in the truth, and join us for a gripping journey through tragedy, mystery, and the relentless pursuit of justice.

She called for help—and ended up dead.

In the early hours of July 6, 2024, 36-year-old Sonya Massey dialed 911 to report a prowler near her Springfield, Illinois home. Minutes later, she was shot in the face by a responding sheriff’s deputy. Unarmed. In her own kitchen. In front of a boiling pot of water and a prayer.

In this episode, Dr. Dee unpacks the heartbreaking story of Sonya Massey—a devoted mother, beloved daughter, and woman of faith—and the system that not only failed to protect her but helped shield the man who killed her. From the chilling bodycam footage to the courtroom drama that ended in a second-degree murder conviction, this episode exposes how justice was delayed, diluted, and defined by systemic failure.

We trace the outrage, the protests, the political reckoning, and the reforms that followed. And we honor the light Sonya carried—and the legacy her family now fights to protect.

When 22-year-old Trey Reed was found dead on the campus of Delta State University, the story was supposed to end there — ruled an accident, quickly explained, and quietly filed away. But in Mississippi, where history and silence often walk hand in hand, nothing is ever that simple.

Now, a second autopsy reveals new questions — bruises, inconsistencies, and a chilling sense that justice still hasn’t arrived. In this Smoke Break edition of Cigar and A Crime, Dr. Dee lights up in the Lounge of Truth to unpack what the new findings mean, the unanswered calls from Trey’s family, and why his death feels like a wound that won’t heal.

But who was Delano beyond the headlines? A young husband, a realtor, an entrepreneur with a heart for community, working two jobs, chasing dreams bigger than the city skyline. As questions still surround the night he disappeared, his family fights for truth and accountability.

In this episode, Dr. Dee revisits Delano’s case with fresh eyes, exploring the investigation gaps, the family’s wrongful death lawsuit, and the haunting timeline of his final moments.

On December 10, 2023, 17-year-old Louise Jean Wilson drove through downtown Houston with two friends, chasing the sunrise in Galveston. Moments later, a sudden act of rage on the Pierce Elevated freeway ended her life. Shot through the heart, Louise still found the strength to steer her car to safety, saving others even as she lost her own fight for survival.

In this episode, Dr. Dee takes you inside Louise’s story: her vibrant life, her final act of courage, and the investigation that remains unsolved nearly two years later. We examine how her parents turned grief into advocacy, pushing for new Texas laws to combat road rage shootings and preserve crucial highway camera footage.

Thirteen lives. Thirteen tragedies. Thirteen families searching for answers.

In 2025, across New England, an unsettling pattern emerged—bodies discovered in woods, rivers, and quiet neighborhoods from Massachusetts to Rhode Island. At first glance, each case seemed isolated: addiction struggles, mental health battles, missing persons. But together, the deaths painted a chilling mosaic that demanded attention.

In this episode of Cigar and A Crime, we light up in the Lounge of Truth and confront the questions others would rather ignore. Were these fatalities connected, or was the silence that followed more telling than any evidence? We explore the victims’ stories, the law enforcement response, and the voices of families who refused to let their loved ones be forgotten.

The smoke never lies.

If you came for a recap, you’re in the wrong room. This is about resurrecting voices, naming names, and refusing silence.

In October 2022, 25-year-old Rasheem Carter disappeared in Taylorsville, Mississippi. Just days before, he called his mother in fear, saying men were chasing him and that if anything happened, his boss would be responsible. A month later, his dismembered remains were discovered scattered in the woods — only 300 yards from where a trail camera captured him shirtless and bruised, carrying a branch as if running for his life.

Police ruled there was “no foul play.” His family calls it murder. His mother calls it the fight of her life for justice.

In this debut episode of Cigar and A Crime, Dr. Dee takes you into the haunting case of Rasheem Carter — exploring the evidence, the community’s outcry, the unanswered questions, and the chilling historical parallels to Mississippi’s legacy of racial violence. This is more than a story of one man’s death; it’s a call to remember, to resist silence, and to demand justice.
