In this episode, Brian takes you inside one of the most heartbreaking and widely followed true crime cases of the last decade — the murder of Gabby Petito. What began as a young couple’s dream road trip across America spiraled into a national media firestorm, ending with tragedy, unanswered questions, and a haunting search for justice.

Brian strips away the headlines and viral headlines to walk through the factual timeline: the cross-country van life adventure, the disturbing police bodycam footage from Moab, Utah, the troubling behavioral red flags from Brian Laundrie, and the frantic search that captivated millions. He examines the investigation step-by-step, from the missing person report to the grim discovery of Gabby's remains in Grand Teton National Park, to the subsequent manhunt for Laundrie that ultimately ended with his suicide.

While the media cycle often sensationalized the story, The Guilty Files: Uncovered focuses on the hard facts, the official reports, the autopsy findings, and the investigative decisions that shaped this case. Brian applies his law enforcement experience to analyze key moments that could have shifted the outcome, and highlights the painful realities of domestic violence, public scrutiny, and law enforcement limitations that still fuel debate today.

This is the real story behind the headlines — told with clarity, respect, and an unflinching look at the human dynamics that turned a young couple’s social media dream into a national tragedy.

In this episode of The Guilty Files: Revisited, Brian and Dani pull back the heavy velvet curtain on one of the South's most chilling and misunderstood cases: The Corpsewood Manor Murders.Set deep in the remote woods of Georgia, the brutal killings of Dr. Charles Scudder and Joseph Odom in 1982 were far more than a simple robbery gone wrong.

Brian uses his law enforcement and investigative background to walk us through the crime scene, the suspects, and the tragic chain of events that led two killers to this secluded sanctuary. Meanwhile, Dani peels back the layers of fear, rumor, and societal judgment that surrounded Corpsewood Manor—examining the cultural anxieties of the Bible Belt, homophobia, Satanic Panic, and the dangerous intersection of isolation and rumor-fueled hysteria.

Together, they explore the media myths, police missteps, and moral panic that still linger around this case, asking hard questions about justice, bias, and the way small-town narratives can distort the truth. Was Corpsewood a true den of evil as some claimed? Or were Scudder and Odom simply unconventional victims in a deeply intolerant time?It’s a case filled with shocking details, cultural complexities, and moral gray areas—and one that hits very close to home for Brian in more ways than one.

What happens when freedom becomes a threat... and fantasy meets a gun barrel?In this haunting ReWired episode, Dani steps beyond the factual ruins of The Corpsewood Manor Murders and into the dark psychological maze left behind.

Dr. Charles Scudder and Joseph Odom weren't just victims of a brutal double homicide in the isolated woods of Georgia — they were scapegoats of a society that feared what it couldn’t understand.But was this really about Satanism? Or sex? Or stolen money?


Or... was it about a slow-simmering cocktail of paranoia, repressed desire, and desperate identity?🔍 This episode speculates on:

• The symbolic power of Corpsewood as a fortress of “otherness” — and how that marked it for destruction.
• The twisted interplay of religion, sexuality, and shame in a rural 1970s Bible Belt community.
• The killers’ psyche: Were they cold-blooded criminals, confused boys lost in a delusion, or pawns in a much bigger story?
• What the murders reveal about America’s fear of outsiders — and the cost of living authentically in a world that demands conformity.

Dani challenges you to reframe this infamous case — not just as a murder mystery, but as a cultural autopsy.

Tucked deep in the woods of northern Georgia, the stone ruins of Corpsewood Manor still whisper secrets—of ambition, isolation, and brutality. In this week's Uncovered episode, host and former law enforcement officer Brian peels back the layers of one of the South’s most chilling and misunderstood double homicides.This isn’t just a story about murder.
It’s about fear. Judgment. And the fatal consequences of standing out in a place that demands conformity.

🔍 In This Episode:

• The story of Dr. Charles Scudder, a former Loyola University professor, and his partner Joseph Odom, who built a secluded paradise in the Appalachian foothills to escape modern society.
• The unsettling and surreal history of Corpsewood Manor—from homemade bricks and occult symbols to LSD wine and misunderstood eccentricity.
• The arrival of Tony West and Avery Brock, two young drifters whose night of drugs, lust, and paranoia would end in ritualistic bloodshed.
• The religious panic and satanic hysteria that followed—fueling conspiracy theories and warping public perception of the victims.
• A hard look at law enforcement’s handling of the case, and how rumor, prejudice, and moral panic shaped every step of the investigation.

Brian doesn’t just recount the facts—he dissects the systemic issues beneath them.
From rural justice to media sensationalism, Uncovered explores how a double homicide became a cautionary tale about queerness, counterculture, and fear in the Bible Belt.

🧠 Why It Matters:

• The Corpsewood case reveals how cultural bias can become legal bias
• It shows what happens when victims are dehumanized before they’re even buried
• And it reminds us that in true crime, truth is often the first casualty of fear

Brian dissects the procedural breakdowns, institutional ego, and flawed profiling that allowed Peter Sutcliffe to evade capture—even after survivors identified him by name.

The eerie parallels to the command breakdowns in the Ripper investigation? Unmistakable.Inside this episode:

• How missed leads and media distractions cost lives

This week on The Guilty Files: Rewired, Dani peels back the crime scene tape and walks us through the psychological, systemic, and social failures that enabled one of the UK’s most infamous serial killers: Peter Sutcliffe — better known as the Yorkshire Ripper.

But this isn’t your average rehash. We go beyond the headlines and get uncomfortably close to the structures that allowed Sutcliffe to remain undetected for years: a police force paralyzed by bias, a media machine obsessed with labeling victims, and a society far too comfortable drawing lines between “innocent” and “fallen” women. Dani challenges the morality baked into the public reaction at the time — and questions whether anything has really changed. He examines how victim blaming, class prejudice, and gendered narratives shaped not only the investigation, but the legacy of the case itself. What if the most dangerous accomplice wasn't Sutcliffe’s hammer, but the institutions meant to stop him? 

Dani doesn’t flinch, and he doesn’t let you either. This isn’t just a story about a serial killer — it’s a mirror held up to a system that cracked, shattered, and looked away.

This is The Guilty Files: True Crime Uncovered.

In this emotionally charged and unflinchingly honest episode of The Guilty Files: Revisited, Brian and Dani return to one of the darkest chapters in modern Australian history — the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre.

While Brian dissects the historical failures, institutional missteps, and security oversights that allowed such a tragedy to unfold, Dani brings his psychological and sociological lens to the human cost — not only of the event itself but of the mythmaking, media frenzy, and political aftershocks that followed.

Together, they challenge the prevailing narratives, question the moral panic that shaped legislation, and dig deep into the public’s complex relationship with memory, grief, and justice.

This isn’t just a retelling — it’s a reckoning. With conflicting perspectives, thought-provoking questions, and a careful balance of empathy and critique, Brian and Dani peel back the layers of what we think we know. From the conspiracy theories that cloud the facts to the very real lives that were shattered, The Guilty Files asks: What happens when the pursuit of truth collides with the need for closure?

What if we told you that the Port Arthur Massacre wasn’t just a tragedy—but a blueprint? In this week’s ReWired episode, host Dani steps into the psychological wreckage and bureaucratic blind spots surrounding one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern history. Building on Brian’s factual breakdown in The Guilty Files: Uncovered, this episode doesn’t just revisit April 28th, 1996—it reimagines the fault lines that led there. Across nine speculative acts, Dani dissects the cracks in the system, the red flags that never escalated, and the moments where intervention could have changed everything. With sociological insight, behavioral analysis, and real talk from her years as an Atlanta beat cop, Dani pulls no punches—and adds plenty of bite.
In This Episode:

• 🎯 Act 1 imagines the government file that could’ve stopped the massacre before it began—but didn’t.
• 🕵️‍♀️ Act 2 uncovers a buried intelligence dossier and the political fear that kept it quiet.
• 📓 Act 3 gives voice to Zoe Hall, the final hostage, through a haunting dramatization of her final hours.
• 👀 Act 4 breaks down the bystander effect through the eyes of a fictional veteran who noticed—but hesitated.
• ⚖️ Act 5 explores the circus that would’ve unfolded had Martin Bryant gone to trial.
• 🧵 Act 6 follows a journalist whose obsession with the timeline might uncover more than she expected.
• 👻 Act 7 dives into the ghost stories left behind at Seascape Cottage—and the folklore born of trauma.
• 🏃‍♂️ Act 8 reimagines a chilling alternate ending: What if Bryant had escaped and become a legend?
• 🔫 Act 9 tells the story of a gun shop employee who tried to sound the alarm—but was told to stay quiet.

Why This Episode Matters: Port Arthur Rewired is more than what-if storytelling—it’s a psychological autopsy of a system that failed from every angle. Dani brings a sociological scalpel to a case we think we understand, slicing through bureaucracy, media myths, and cultural silence. With wit, empathy, and just the right amount of fire, Dani reminds us that imagination isn’t just for fiction—it’s for prevention.
