This episode unravels the shocking case of David Kwiatkowski, a traveling radiologic technician whose addiction to fentanyl sparked the largest hepatitis C outbreak in American history. For nearly a decade, Kwiatkowski moved between 16 hospitals across seven states, stealing pain medication intended for vulnerable patients and replacing it with saline-filled syringes contaminated with his blood. By the time authorities caught him, 45 patients had been infected with a potentially deadly virus.

Efren Saldivar, a respiratory therapist at Glendale Adventist Hospital, confessed to murdering over 50 patients between 1989-1998 before later recanting his confession on national television. What followed was a groundbreaking forensic investigation that would eventually prove his guilt and reveal his disturbing motive: he killed patients when he felt overworked or short-staffed.

His case exposed a sprawling industry of unaccredited schools and mail-order credentials that enabled him to practice medicine without any legitimate qualifications.

Two bullet wounds, fourteen years apart, one man connecting both deaths. This double murder investigation reveals the terrifying progression of domestic violence when abusers face rejection.

Behind Bart Corbin's veneer of success as a Georgia cosmetic dentist lay a dangerous pattern of control and violence. When his wife Jennifer was found dead in December 2004 from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, detectives quickly spotted inconsistencies. The gun's position defied gravity, no residue appeared on Jennifer's hands, and the trajectory of the bullet made suicide virtually impossible. What they didn't immediately realize was how history was repeating itself.

This case stands as a sobering reminder of how domestic abuse escalates when unchecked. The justice that came too late for both women offers crucial insights for recognizing warning signs before they turn deadly. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for immediate support and resources.

A mother of two is found dead in her bed with a gunshot wound to the head. Her seven-year-old son, standing tearfully on a neighbor's doorstep, utters words that would chill anyone to the bone: "He's the one that killed my mom." 

The story of Jennifer Corbin's death begins as a suspected suicide but unravels into something far more sinister. The gun's position defies physics. The divorce papers beneath her body seem staged. Her husband, respected dentist Dr. Bart Corbin, shows more irritation than grief when questioned about his wife's death.

Join us for Part One of a two-part series, as we examine a predator hiding in plain sight, and the resilience of those determined to expose the truth.

A respected doctor becomes a deadly predator in this shocking true crime case that exposes the darkest side of the opioid epidemic.

When young Ellie Harris died of an overdose in 2002, her prescription bottles all led back to one man: Dr. Randeep Mann. Despite her history of addiction that her family explicitly shared with him, Mann prescribed dangerous combinations of opioids that ultimately claimed her life. But Ellie was just the beginning.

As more bodies piled up in the small town of Russellville, Arkansas, a disturbing pattern emerged. Dr. Mann wasn't just overprescribing - he was exploiting vulnerable patients like teenager Shelly Green, who reported trading sexual favors for pills in his office after hours. Despite mounting evidence, medical and legal systems repeatedly failed to stop him, with overdose deaths temporarily dropping when his license was suspended only to surge again when reinstated.

What does it take to stop a predator in a white coat when the very systems designed to protect patients repeatedly fail to act? Join us for this disturbing journey through medicine's darkest corridors.
