Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the case of Lisl Auman — the only person in Colorado history convicted of murder while she was handcuffed in the back of a police car. In 1997, a 21-year-old woman brought some guys along to retrieve her stuff from an ex-boyfriend's place in the mountains. What followed was a high-speed chase, a standoff at a Denver apartment complex, and the shooting death of Officer Bruce VanderJagt — a murder committed by her associate Matthaeus Jaehnig, who then turned the gun on himself. Lisl never fired a shot. She was already under arrest when it happened. She got life without parole anyway. We'll break down the felony murder rule that made it possible, the two cops who suspiciously revised their reports two days after the fact using nearly identical language, and how a dying Hunter S. Thompson threw the full weight of his gonzo legacy behind getting her out — rallying everyone from Warren Zevon to Johnny Depp to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers along the way. It took eight years, but the Colorado Supreme Court finally agreed something had gone very wrong.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the folklore of Trinidad! We're diving into six figures from one of the most culturally mixed islands in the Caribbean — the Soucouyant, a skin-shedding vampire who flies through the night as a ball of fire; the Douens, faceless spirits of unbaptized children with backwards feet; La Diablesse, a beautiful woman with a cow's hoof hidden under her dress who lures men into the forest; Gang Gang Sara, a woman who flew across the Atlantic from Africa and lost her power; the Duppy Baby, a roadside spirit that grows heavier the longer you hold it; and the silk cotton tree that connects all of them. West African tradition, French Catholic structure, and centuries of survival all compressed into the stories people in Trinidad still tell their kids today.

Jan Broberg was kidnapped twice — by the same man — while her parents stood by and did nothing. In this episode of Necronomipod, we cover the true crime case behind the Netflix documentary Abducted in Plain Sight: how Robert Berchtold groomed Jan Broberg over years, manipulated her entire family, and carried out not one but two abductions.

We break down how Berchtold gained the family's trust, the psychological manipulation and control he built over Jan, how the first kidnapping unfolded, and how he managed to insert himself back into their lives for a second abduction. We also cover the FBI investigation, the eventual reckoning, and where Jan Broberg is today.
