In this History episode we focus on John Wayne Gacy — the Chicago contractor who performed as Pogo the Clown at children's hospitals, organized the Polish Constitution Day Parade, was photographed with the First Lady, and buried 26 of his 33 murder victims under his house while police had multiple opportunities to investigate him that came to nothing.

He performed as a clown at children's hospitals. He had 26 bodies in the crawl space under his feet.

Episode 169 | History's Mysteries — Mysterious Events

In this Mystery episode we focus on the death of Princess Diana in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris in August 1997 — the French investigation, the British Operation Paget that examined 175 conspiracy claims, the 2008 inquest jury verdict, and why a third of British people still believe it wasn't an accident despite every investigation reaching the same conclusion.

Every investigation reached the same conclusion. A third of British people still don't accept it.

In this History episode we focus on Bernie Madoff — the largest financial fraud in US history, the $65 billion in fictitious account balances, the SEC that investigated him six times and found nothing, and the 2008 financial crisis that ended the scheme not because anyone caught him but because too many people tried to withdraw at once.

The SEC never made one phone call that would have confirmed the trades didn't exist. Nobody made the call.

Episode 167 | History's Mysteries — Mysterious Events

In this Mystery episode we focus on the 2021 disappearance of Gabby Petito — the van life road trip, the Moab police body camera footage that captured her in distress two weeks before her death, the ten days Brian Laundrie spent at his parents' house saying nothing, and what the case revealed about whose disappearances get national attention and whose don't.

The Moab police classified what they saw as a mental health crisis. Two weeks later Gabby was strangled in a Wyoming forest.

Episode 166 | Historical Events

In this History episode we focus on the Gilgo Beach murders — the discovery of at least 11 victims along an Ocean Parkway barrier island starting in 2010, the decade the case sat cold, and the arrest, confession, and June 2026 life sentence of Rex Heuermann, an architectural consultant who had been hiding in plain sight 15 miles from the bodies for twenty years.

Eight victims. Two decades. The case was solved by a pizza crust from a Manhattan trash can.

Episode 165 | Historical Events

In this History episode we focus on Dennis Rader — the church president, Cub Scout leader, and compliance officer who murdered 10 people in Wichita over 30 years while taunting police with letters, and who was finally caught in 2005 because he asked investigators if a floppy disk could be traced. They lied and said no.

He installed security systems in the homes of Wichita residents who were worried about crime. He had killed ten people. The floppy did him in.

Episode 164 | Historical Events

In this History episode we focus on the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster — the magnitude 9.0 earthquake, the tsunami that exceeded TEPCO's seawall by more than double, the three reactor meltdowns that followed, and why the official investigation concluded the disaster was fundamentally man-made despite being triggered by a natural event.

The earthquake was 9.0. The tsunami was 40 feet. The seawall was 19 feet. The rest followed.

Episode 163 | History's Mysteries — Mysterious Events

In this Mystery episode we focus on the 2017 murders of Libby German and Abby Williams on a hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana — where Libby managed to record the man who killed her on her phone, how that recording sat at the center of a five-year investigation, and how Richard Allen was convicted in November 2024.

She knew something was wrong on that bridge. She pressed record anyway. Seven years later it put her killer in front of a jury.

In this History episode we focus on the OJ Simpson trial — the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, the slow-speed Bronco chase watched by 95 million Americans, the glove that didn't fit, and the not-guilty verdict that exposed a fault line in how Black and white Americans experienced the criminal justice system.

Two people murdered. A jury deliberated for less than four hours. The question of what that verdict says about America has been debated for 30 years.

In this History episode we focus on the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of April 1986 — the design flaw in the RBMK reactor that Soviet engineers knew about but didn't disclose, the safety test that went catastrophically wrong at 1:23 in the morning, the 600,000 liquidators sent in to clean up what robots couldn't handle, and why Mikhail Gorbachev said the accident did more to collapse the Soviet Union than his own reforms.

Not a bomb. Just a reactor that went out of control for three seconds.
