This episode features real audio from Jerad Miller’s now deleted YouTube channel. The clips will play throughout the episode to give you a glimpse into a disturbed mind. With that said, I want to make it clear that there isn't political message. Today we simply explore the abyss.

Listener, in today’s episode I’m going to do my best to avoid bias. I am covering the killing of Sonya Massey by a then-Sangamon County Sheriff's deputy named Sean Grayson. I am going to distribute the facts by use of court documents, news articles, and how they appear to my naked eye.

Listener, in today’s episode we will refer to the victim of this case simply as M.S. This is for the safety of the victim, as she’s already been through enough. I ask that you leave the victim alone and not go out of your way to track down her name. Now, let’s get on with it.

Peter Sotos is potentially the single most controversial figure in True Crime. A godfather of the genre, he pushed the boundaries in ways that made even yours truly uncomfortable.

This is a collaborative project put together with fellow True Crime creator T.Z. Borden. He's the host and creator of the excellent Tapes from the Darkside podcast. A podcast that takes you down the darkest roads the genre has on offer. When he asked me to collaborate on this project I couldn’t resist.

Borden aptly titled the episode Modern De Sade. What you’re going to hear is an expertly edited episode, crafted by Mr. Borden, which runs for 90 mins. Much of the episode features a conversation between me and TZ.

Tapes from the Darkside Website.

Officer Miles Bennett was dispatched to a disturbance at a residence on the 500 block of Jefferson Street in the City of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The call was originally dispatched as "sister freaked out and boyfriend is bleeding. Possibly stabbed in arms." What the officer found was equally horrifying and mysterious.

The following episode has several twists and turns. I ask that you hold on tight and not look into the case. You’ll have a better time if you do so. A lot of thought is put into Obscura in terms of keeping coverage objective. With that said the opening part of this episode is sourced directly from the Innocence project of Florida as well as court records. With several sections read verbatim. Alright… let’s get on with it.

Nicholas played shoulder to shoulder with Aaron Hernandez and Alex Ryng. Aaron Hernandez was linked to three murders before committing suicide. Alex Ryng shot and killed both he and his wife in a 2014 murder suicide. The three players were all destined for violence. Each traveling their own dark road.

(Part 2) The following information has been sourced directly from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, court documents, social media websites, and eyewitness reports. And when I say directly, I mean often read verbatim. Listener discretion is advised.
