Hosts: Marie & Savannah Zambrano dive into one of the most haunting and complex serial murder investigations in recent U.S. history — the Long Island Serial Killer case, also known as the Gilgo Beach murders. What began with the mysterious disappearance of Shannan Gilbert in 2010 led to the discovery of multiple victims along Ocean Parkway and a case filled with unanswered questions, investigative missteps, and families fighting to keep their loved ones’ stories alive. With a suspect now charged but the investigation still unfolding, we explore the victims, the evidence, and the lasting impact of a case that continues to raise questions about justice, stigma, and truth.

Hosts: Marie & Savannah Zambrano deep dive into The Death Cap mushroom murders that refer to a high-profile Australian case in which a family lunch turned deadly after guests were poisoned with Amanita phalloides, one of the world’s most toxic mushrooms.

In July 2023, several people became critically ill after eating a home-cooked meal in rural Victoria. Three guests later died from organ failure caused by death cap mushroom poisoning, while one survived. The host of the lunch, Erin Patterson, reported no symptoms. What was initially described as a medical mystery was later investigated as a homicide, drawing international attention due to the rarity, lethality, and calculated nature of the poisoning.
