Since a manhunt ended with the arrest of Luigi Mangione for the alleged murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in late 2024, he’s almost reached celebrity status. He even has his own fanclub – girls who make their way into his court hearings.

To end the show, we’ll touch on one of the most famous celebrity murder cases, the OJ Simpson trial. Mark Fuhrman, a police officer whose infamous, televised, testimony was a key feature of the trial, died this week, and Audacy stations reflected back on how it impacted the eventual verdict.

On Monday, May 18th, 2026, two teen shooters entered the Islamic Center of San Diego and opened fire, according to authorities. It hasn’t been a week yet since suspects shot and killed two men there and then took their own lives.

We’ll be taking a closer look at that case and its relationship to online culture – including glorification of mass shooters and more – in this episode with expert interviews.
