This episode examines the deeply disturbing case of Seth Welch and Tatiana Fusari, a Michigan couple whose shocking neglect led to the tragic death of their young daughter — a crime that horrified the state and drew national attention. The hosts guide listeners through the couple’s troubling beliefs, the red flags that went unaddressed, and the heartbreaking circumstances uncovered during the investigation.

With their signature blend of empathy, clarity, and Michigan‑rooted storytelling, the hosts break down the couple’s rigid ideology, the medical neglect at the center of the case, and the courtroom proceedings that followed. They keep the tone grounded and respectful, focusing on the victim and the devastating human cost rather than sensationalizing the cruelty. It’s a heavy, emotionally charged story that forces listeners to confront the consequences of extreme beliefs and parental failure.

After the true‑crime deep dive, the episode shifts into its musical spotlight, featuring Patty PerShayla and The Mayhaps. Their bold, electrifying sound delivers the show’s trademark “good note,” offering listeners a cathartic lift after one of the series’ most heartbreaking cases.

In this second installment of Cases of Interest, the hosts take listeners on another winding road trip through Michigan’s strangest, saddest, and most head‑scratching true‑crime stories. Instead of focusing on a single case, this episode highlights several lesser‑known incidents — the kind that never make national headlines but leave a lasting mark on the communities where they happened.

With their signature blend of dark humor, empathy, and Michigan‑rooted storytelling, the hosts explore a mix of bizarre crimes, unsettling mysteries, and oddball moments pulled from every corner of the state. Each case is a quick stop on the journey, offering a snapshot of the strange, tragic, and unforgettable. The tone stays grounded and respectful, giving listeners a sampler platter of Michigan’s under‑the‑radar true‑crime landscape.

After the storytelling tour, the episode shifts into its musical spotlight, featuring Delilah DeWylde. Her rockabilly‑infused, high‑energy sound brings the show’s trademark “good note,” sending listeners off with a toe‑tapping finish after a lineup of heavy and unusual cases.

With their signature mix of empathy, dark humor, and Michigan‑rooted storytelling, the hosts walk listeners through the family’s unraveling, the chilling events that left a permanent mark on their home, and the unsettling aftermath that kept neighbors talking long after the headlines faded.

This episode dives into the chilling and controversial story of Vincent “Vito” Smothers, a confessed hitman whose name has become tangled in some of Detroit’s most debated criminal cases. What begins as a look into Smothers’ violent past quickly expands into a broader examination of corruption, coerced confessions, and the long shadow his admissions cast over Michigan’s justice system.

With their signature blend of sharp analysis, empathy, and Michigan‑rooted storytelling, the hosts guide listeners through Smothers’ criminal career, the murders he claims responsibility for, and the cases he insists he didn’t commit — including one that sent an entirely different man to prison. They explore the legal battles, the moral complexities, and the lingering questions that continue to divide attorneys, investigators, and the public. The tone stays grounded and respectful, focusing on truth, accountability, and the lives forever altered by violence and flawed systems.

This episode revisits the haunting and hotly debated disappearance of Todd Geib, a young man who vanished after a night out in rural Michigan — only to be found weeks later under circumstances that have never made sense. Official explanations have long clashed with the physical evidence, eyewitness accounts, and the instincts of those who knew Todd best. The result is a case that continues to raise far more questions than answers.

With their signature blend of empathy, curiosity, and Michigan‑rooted storytelling, the hosts walk listeners through the final hours Todd was seen alive, the baffling discovery of his body, and the theories that have emerged in the years since. They explore the inconsistencies, the investigative dead ends, and the lingering suspicion that something far more sinister may have happened. The tone stays grounded and respectful, keeping the focus on Todd’s life, his family’s fight for clarity, and the enduring mystery that still grips the community.

After the deep dive into this unsettling unsolved case, the episode shifts into its musical spotlight, featuring Bustin’ Nutin’. Their high‑energy, irreverent sound delivers the show’s trademark “good note,” giving listeners a cathartic lift after a story defined by confusion, heartbreak, and unanswered questions.
