Kristin Smart was a bright, 19-year-old college student at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. In 1996, she went to a friend’s birthday party—and never made it home.

The last person seen with her? A classmate named Paul Flores.

Despite suspicions and years of unanswered questions, the case went cold. But after 25 years of relentless efforts by her family and a determined podcaster, the investigation was reopened—and finally, arrests were made. Paul Flores was charged with Kristin’s murder, and his father, Ruben Flores, was accused of helping cover up the crime.

What really happened the night Kristin vanished? And how did justice finally catch up after two and a half decades?

Join us as we explore one of the most haunting missing persons cases in California history—and the shocking twists that finally led to answers.

It sounds too unbelievable to be true—yet it really happened.

In 2004, 21-year-old Louise Ogborn was working her shift at a McDonald’s in Mount Washington, Kentucky when her life was turned upside down. A man claiming to be a police officer called the restaurant and accused Louise of theft. What followed was a horrifying two-and-a-half-hour ordeal, during which Louise was strip searched and manipulated—right in the manager’s office—all under the instruction of the voice on the phone.

This disturbing case, recently highlighted in the Netflix docuseries Don’t Pick Up the Phone, exposes how far blind obedience to authority can go—and the devastating consequences of a scam taken to the extreme.

How could this happen? Who was behind the calls? And how did Louise finally get justice? Tune in as we break down one of the most shocking hoaxes in fast food history.

During the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia, a pipe bomb exploded in Centennial Olympic Park during a free concert—killing two and injuring over 100 people. The nation was horrified, and authorities were desperate for answers.

Before long, all eyes turned to a security guard named Richard Jewell. Once hailed as a hero for spotting the suspicious backpack and helping evacuate the area, Jewell quickly became the FBI's prime suspect. The media frenzy was relentless, painting him as guilty before any evidence could support the claim.

But Jewell didn’t do it. And the real bomber? He was still out there—plotting more attacks.

Join us as we revisit this chilling act of domestic terrorism, the devastating consequences of rushing to judgment, and the long road to justice for both the victims and Richard Jewell himself.
