In the mid-to-late 2010’s an individual operating under the pseudonym “master” allegedly began uploading several disturbing original photographs to various online gore forums on 4-Chan and Death Addict depicting the mutilation of deceased pre-term fetuses and infants. This user also shared several photographs depicting the horrific taunting and physical abuse of several medically compromised and vulnerable children in a contemporary U.S. hospital setting. The original content was so disturbing - that users quickly dubbed the original poster as Dr. Gloves - a reflection of his unusual choice of attire. A hazmat coverall splash suit, elbow length surgical gloves, and a black leather BDSM bondage mask… Can you help solve a nearly decade long mystery? 

WARNING: This episode deals with extremely detailed depictions of violence, abuse, and exploitation of children, and includes optional access to an active online investigative website which includes heavily redacted photographs of these criminal offenses. Extreme listener and viewer discretion is advised.

No one ever said that marriage was easy. Long-lasting relationships take work. Even then, sometimes they simply don’t work out. In fact, nearly half of first time marriages end in divorce. And when things like 60/40 child custody splits and hidden assets enter the picture, things can get ugly. When 41-year-old Rebecca Bliefnick was found murdered in her Quincy, IL home in February of 2023, authorities naturally looked toward the estranged husband. But as the investigation ensued, they realized that it’s not often the prime suspect in a murder investigation admits on live television - that he regrets marrying his wife, just a few years before her murder…

We’re all familiar with the term “open relationship.” Some more than others. While this kind of romance doesn't always work out, it’s very rare that someone winds up dead as a result. Back in 2015, 22-year-old Ryan Zimmerman of Corbin, KY was struggling with his identity. He was looking to discover who he was as a person by connecting with like-minded people on the internet. That’s when he met a man who excitedly welcomed him into polyamorous relationship. The only problem with the arrangement was that Ryan Zimmerman soon went missing…

(Part 1 of 2) The 1990’s was arguably one of the best decades ever. Creepy Crawlers and Barbie’s Golden Dream Motorhomes were under every Christmas tree while “Right Said Fred” was letting the world know that he was far too sexy for his shirt. While these were some of the best years for many of us, for residents of Phoenix, AZ - it was all nightmares and dreamscapes. When two women were found brutally murdered a year apart from one another, the similarities between the crime scenes were too profound to ignore. 22-year-old Angela Brosso and 17 year-old Melanie Bernas were both riding along the Arizona Canal on their bicycles in 1992 and 1993. The residents of this city were sure things couldn’t get any worse, until a 23 year old cold case wound up producing several more victims, all at the hands of one man who called himself, “The Zombie Hunter.”
