Exposed: Scandalous Files of the Elite

In the halls of a Reno, Nevada middle school, Caitlin Rock’s job was to help kids who were already struggling. As an intervention specialist for the Washoe County School District, she worked with students who had attendance problems at Billinghurst Middle School — kids who needed an adult they could trust. Instead, prosecutors say she targeted one of them. Beginning when the boy was just 13, Rock — a married mother in her mid-40s — allegedly spent more than a year and a half grooming, texting, and more. The relationship continued until the victim was 14, when his mother tracked his phone one night after he snuck out and the truth began to unravel.

We start with a Baton Rouge man facing charges after his 92-year-old father was found beaten to death inside the family home—despite a protective order already in place from a prior assault. Then we head to the Poconos, where a mother has been charged in the double homicide of her husband and 3-year-old son inside a Great Wolf Lodge hotel room. Authorities say she called for help afterward, telling responders she wanted to be with them. From there, the stories only get stranger. A Brazilian man is planning to remarry the wife who severed his penis after she learned he cheated on her—and he’s using compensation money from the incident to fund the wedding and a prosthesis.
 
In Florida, an ICU nurse was arrested after a patient’s family member watched her siphon fentanyl from an IV bag she wasn’t even assigned to. In our Lustful Lawbreakers segment, a FaceTime call that started one way ends in charges and exposure. We dig into the newly released 911 recordings from Christa Pike’s botched execution attempt in Tennessee, which reveal delays, code confusion, and a prison call initially dismissed as false. Actress Selma Blair is in the news after an alleged in-flight meltdown that left flight attendants injured and led to assault charges—her team points to a medical emergency and missed medication.

We also cover the final moments of Florida inmate James “Chicken-Head” Robertson, executed after he killed his cellmate specifically to land on death row. When asked for last words, he kept it short. In International Indiscretions, German police seize a humanoid robot after it allegedly groped a teenage girl outside a fast-food restaurant while the incident was livestreamed. And a Florida woman’s Instagram beef escalates into a nightclub fight involving a snatched necklace and a bite. 

Overtime brings the Goliath roller coaster tragedy at Six Flags Over Georgia, where a beloved local teacher was ejected from the ride and fell to his death; an 84-year-old Louisiana man’s explosive arrest after investigators say he was manufacturing and selling homemade devices near a school (Elderly Outlaws); a jet ski sexual assault case; and the San Diego chef who was quietly running a kitchen for years under an alias before U.S. Marshals caught him as a long-time Iowa fugitive wanted in a kidnapping and shooting.

Today I cover several Texas teacher-student cases as part of the “bad teacher” series, starting with Kathryn Murray in Houston, whose relationship with a 15-year-old student led to her firing, arrest, and later additional charges after the student was found at her father’s home. Next up, Brittni Collops, a Fort Worth-area English teacher and basketball coach whose text messages and sexual contact with students led to multiple convictions and a prison sentence, followed by early release. 

We also look at Cassie Dowden, a PE assistant accused of an improper relationship with a 16-year-old student, who later pleaded guilty and received probation and a fine. The episode ends with Haeli Wey, a former Austin-area math teacher whose relationships with two 17-year-old students led to her resignation, arrest, guilty plea, and probation.

In Baton Rouge LA,  A City Hall bathroom becomes a crime scene, Gypsy Rose Blanchard says her partner died of an overdose on his birthday, and Tennessee’s botched execution of Christa Pike leaves lawyers saying she may never recover.  Gypsy Rose Blanchard tells reporters she believes Ken Urker overdosed in Raceland, Louisiana, on his 34th birthday. Deputies found drug paraphernalia and a handgun at the scene. The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office says it has found no evidence of foul play, and toxicology is still pending.

Christa Pike’s lawyers say the Tennessee death-row inmate may never fully recover after a failed lethal injection in which multiple needles were used and two doses of pentobarbital did not stop her heart. She remained critically ill under guard. Governor Bill Lee paused the rest of the year’s executions. An Iowa substitute teacher, Stephanie Mullaley, is fired after an administrative law judge finds she offered students extra credit for cash donations to a personal GoFundMe tied to her education goals.

She is later denied unemployment. Lustful Lawbreakers follows a construction worker whose workplace fantasy crosses the line. International Indiscretions tracks a cocaine case in which the evidence on the shelf turns out to be flour. A self-described demonologist posts private information online and learns the internet does not forget. President Trump approves a U.S. Army firing squad for Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people and wounding 32 in the 2009 Fort Hood attack.

 It would be the military’s first execution by firing squad since World War II. True Crime Time Machine goes back to October 9, 2002, and the execution of Aileen Wuornos, the Florida serial killer whose final statements still fuel the debate over the death penalty. DNA confirms remains found by a fisherman along Brushy Creek in Montague County, Texas, belong to Fort Worth flight attendant Rana Nofal Soluri, missing since March 2025. Her former roommate, Dennis Day, is already charged with murder.

Overtime: a Georgia man walks out on a Red Lobster bill, and a New York man’s death on the subway is as shocking as the video that followed it.

A 20-year-old Cornell student says she walked into a Chi Phi party on the night of October 19, 2024, and did not walk out the same. In a lawsuit filed nearly two years later, the woman identified only as Jane Doe alleges she was plied with alcohol and ketamine inside the fraternity house and sexually assaulted by seven members of the chapter while she was unable to consent.
She reported the night to Cornell police weeks afterward. Tompkins County prosecutors reviewed her statement and closed the case without charges. That decision held until September 16, 2026, when Jane Doe sued Cornell, Chi Phi, her own sorority, and the seven men, accusing the university and law enforcement of failing her.

A Pierre Part man is accused of using AI to generate sexual deepfakes of a coworker — then showing them to her. In Georgia, a missing DoorDash mom is identified after her family tracks her phone and finds her dismembered remains. And in Ohio, former American Idol contestant and worship pastor Caleb Flynn’s murder trial hits a turning point as jurors hear his police interview and both sides rest and that’s only the start of this week’s crime news craziness.
Two men are sentenced in a massive multi-state Walmart fraud scheme that hit more than 100 stores, including Louisiana. Then Lustful Lawbreakers takes off with the pantless airline passenger who treated coach like a locker room. In Seattle, a woman is attacked by a total stranger who bites a chunk of flesh from her forehead. In Florida, a plastic surgeon who represented himself is found guilty of murdering an attorney whose body was never found. Fast-food chaos returns in When Wendy’s Employees Attack! And True Crime Time Machine goes back to the hanging of Major John André, the British spy whose capture helped expose Benedict Arnold. Nearly a year after a Harpers Ferry house fire, a woman is charged in her husband’s murder.
Overtime:
A Pittsburgh pediatrician is killed in a home invasion as his family flees. Twelve teens are shot at a Georgia birthday gathering that spilled from an Airbnb into a city park. A Florida road-rage case turns a jar of vegan mayonnaise into a deadly-weapon charge. And an Airbnb renter in Fort Lauderdale shoots an armed intruder during a home invasion.

In this episode Jim Chapman looks into the police investigation into allegations of inappropriate relationships between a student-athlete at Centennial High School in Peoria, Arizona, and two teachers, Angela Burlaka and Haley Beck.

The case began with the student telling his grandmother about the relationship, who then reports it to police after reviewing messages and videos.  Detectives identify and question Burlaka using phone records, social media, and searches of her classroom and home. Jim then covers the wider investigation into Beck, including interviews with witnesses who describe messaging, gifts, rides, and other contact between her and the student. Jim also uncovers Beck’s interview with police, her denial of a sexual relationship, and evidence recovered from her home.
