Scams, Money, & Murder

On October 24, 1961, 31-year-old Joan Risch spent an ordinary morning at home in Lincoln, Massachusetts. She took her daughter to the dentist, booked a follow-up appointment, and later walked her to a neighbor's house, promising she'd be right back. She never returned. When someone finally stepped inside her home, they found the kitchen smeared with blood, the telephone torn from the wall, and Joan was missing.

In the final years of Imperial Russia, a mysterious peasant mystic named Grigori Rasputin rose to extraordinary influence over the royal Romanov family. Trusted by the Empress for his apparent ability to ease her son's illness, Rasputin became a figure of endless rumor, accused of everything from manipulation and debauchery to holding secret sway over the crumbling empire. His dramatic murder in 1916, said to have required poison, bullets, and drowning to finally kill him, only deepened the legends surrounding him. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes, Vanessa Richardson explores the strange life and death of Rasputin, the mystic who became a lightning rod for a dynasty in collapse, and the myths of occult control that continue to surround him more than a century later.

In December 1996, French television producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier traveled alone to her remote holiday home on the windswept Mizen Head peninsula in County Cork, Ireland, a place she loved for its isolation and beauty. Two days before Christmas, her battered body was found on the lane outside her cottage, beaten so severely that the quiet farming community around Schull could scarcely comprehend it. She had come to Ireland for a few days of peace before the holidays, and instead became the victim of a crime that would haunt the country for decades. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces Sophie, the elegant and private Parisian who found refuge on the rugged Irish coast, the glamorous but demanding life she led back in France, and the brutal winter night that turned her beloved sanctuary into one of Ireland's most infamous crime scenes.

On September 13, 1992, 27-year-old Su Taraskiewicz left her overnight shift at Boston's Logan Airport to grab sandwiches for her crew and never made it home. The next day, her body was found in the trunk of her own car. As a ramp supervisor and one of the few women on a mostly male crew at Northwest Airlines, Su had spent months enduring a workplace that turned against her. There were taunts, sabotage, and threats she faced just for doing her job well. Eventually her mother uncovered something that reframed the case: a journal, where Su had documented the harassment page after page, naming the men who made her days a struggle.

Since it opened in 1995, Denver International Airport has been the subject of some of the most enduring conspiracy theories in America. Built years behind schedule and wildly over budget, the airport is famous for its unsettling apocalyptic murals, a towering demonic horse statue with glowing red eyes, cryptic dedication plaques, and a sprawling network of underground tunnels. To believers, these details point to secret bunkers for the elite, headquarters for shadowy organizations, or something even stranger hidden beneath the runways. Officials insist the tunnels are mundane and the art is simply misunderstood, but the speculation has only grown over the decades, embraced even by the airport itself. In this episode of Conspiracy Theories, Cults, & Crimes, Vanessa Richardson explores the many theories surrounding Denver International Airport, the strange design choices that started it all, and the question of why one airport became a magnet for suspicion about hidden power and secret agendas.
