This week, we will continue the story of Los Gringos. This episode will look into the downfall of a few major American players in the world of cocaine, dubbed as the Cocaine Cowboys. These men took their confidence to new levels, and their flaws cost them a heavy price. Listen as we conclude the story of The Smugglers and the Snitch.

This week we will be looking into the case of the Miami River Cops, a team of young cops who became drawn to the fast life of the underworld they were meant to patrol. In an attempt to provide more protection to the community, the police were unaware that they were hiring the immoral. And The Enterprise soon brought notoriety to the Miami Police Department, but was it the right kind?

This week we will be looking into the case of Otylia Gburek, a Polish American woman that grew a name for herself. It was said she had powers of premonition, and you would hope that would be enough notoriety in the early 1900s. However, when people started falling around her, she gained a different type of name: Black Widow.

After reading and preparing for this case, I think my conclusion may be a little cloudy.

This week, we will be looking into the case of the Richardson Family Murders. This triple homicide shook up the quaint Canadian town and left everybody worried about who the next victim may be. But in this case, a victim soon becomes the accused and leaves everyone with the question, "How could this happen?" 

After reading and preparing for this case, my conclusion may be a little cloudy.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 

This week, we will be looking into the case of Lee Shelton, better known as Stagger Lee. A real Christmas story about how Black culture's first notable pimp and gangster went down in oral history. When a night of drinking ends in murder, the who is known, but the why is questionable. Was it all over a hat, or was that cap?

After reading and preparing for this week's case, I think my conclusion may be a little cloudy.

This week we will be looking into the suspicious murder of Teresita Basa. Teresita, an immigrant who came to America looking for a better life, lived an unimposing lifestyle. So why would someone kill her? And what's more suspicious than her murder, is how the case was solved. 

After reading and preparing for this case, I think my conclusion may be a little cloudy.

Surprise! You all get two episodes in one week, due to my hiatus last week. I'm feeling the Christmas spirit and wanted to gift you all with an extra (read as makeup) episode. 

This week, we will be looking into the murder of the New York socialite Irene Silverman, an older woman with a lively spirit. Irene crossed many paths in her long lifetime, and a majority of them loved her; so who did she meet that wanted to dim her light? She may have had money, but she had even more street smarts, so it was widely unexpected to learn she had been conned and met with foul play.

After reading and preparing for this case, I think my conclusion may be a little cloudy.

This week we will be looking into the Unsolved Mystery about Cynthia Anderson. 20-year-old Cynthia went missing from her place of employment without a trace, and 40 years later, many are still wondering what happened to the young woman. Looking at the details of this case became a cross between "It was bound to happen" and "Who Dunnit?" 

After reading and preparing for this case, I think my conclusion may be a little cloudy.
