  • The Governments Motions In Limine In The Case Against Diddy (Part 2) (9/17/25)
    ​The U.S. government's motions in limine in the case against Sean "Diddy" Combs seek to shape the evidentiary landscape for the upcoming trial. Prosecutors aim to introduce corroborative materials such as text messages, diary entries from a former employee, and a 911 call to support the testimonies of alleged victims. They argue that these pieces of evidence are crucial to demonstrate patterns of behavior and to counter anticipated challenges to the credibility of witnesses. Additionally, the government requests the exclusion of certain defense evidence, including prior consensual sexual encounters Combs had with individuals not involved in the case, asserting that such information is irrelevant and could mislead the jury.


    Furthermore, the prosecution seeks to admit expert testimony from psychologist Dr. Dawn Hughes, who would explain how victims of abuse might remain in relationships with their abusers due to emotional manipulation or fear. This testimony is intended to provide context for the victims' continued association with Combs, which the defense might use to question their credibility. The motions also address the admissibility of a 2016 surveillance video allegedly showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The defense contests this video's inclusion, claiming it has been altered and lacks authenticity

  • The LISK Files: Asa Ellerup And The DNA Match With The Gilgo Beach Victims (9/17/25)
    The DNA tests that were performed on Asa Ellerup in the wake of her husband Rex Heuermann's arrest have come back as a positive match with the hairs that were found on the victims. This was the expected result according to sources and the police still do not believe Asa Ellerup was inovlved.

    Between 2003 and 2006, four sex workers disappeared from Las Vegas. Three of the girls are were confirmed to have been murdered after various pieces of their body's were found at various locations in or near Las Vegas, besides one woman whose legs were found in Springfield.

    The Vegas Four:

    Lindsay Marie Harris:

    On May 4, 2005, Harris disappeared from her home in Henderson, Nevada. She was last seen making a bank deposit at the bank near her home. Her rental car was found abandoned in the desert at the southern end of the valley and her credit cards had not been used. Later that November, America's Most Wanted aired a segment on Harris' disappearance.On May 23, 2005, a group of children discovered human legs in a grassy field a couple hundred yards away from Interstate 55 in Divernon, Illinois, 15 miles south of Springfield. After performing DNA tests on both of the legs, it was determined that they both belonged to the same person.

    In May 2008, the FBI was able to match the DNA of the unidentified woman that was sent in by Illinois authorities to Harris' DNA sent in by authorities in Henderson. After comparing the two DNA samples, the woman's legs were identified as Lindsay Harris.Harris had moved to the valley in 2003 with her boyfriend, whom she had met in New York. Harris had a history of being a sex worker, as Harris had been arrested 5 times for prostitution from the time she had moved to the valley to the time of her disappearance.

The Las Vegas Police Department launched an investigation of a person in question, bringing in a forensic scientist to spray luminol onto surfaces at crime scenes to detect invisible blood stains; but found nothing at his property, nor has he been interrogated on her disappearance. The documentary Trafficked No More, features her story and led to some tips to her whereabouts.


    Jodi Marie Brewer:


    The last time Pamela Brewer saw her 19-year-old daughter Jodi Marie, the teen's newly dyed blonde hair glowed like a halo around her head.Standing at the top of the stairs in their southwest Las Vegas condominium, she told her mother she was going out for the evening."She was so radiant, so beautiful that night," Brewer said. "She said, 'I love you mom' ... I told her I'd see her tomorrow.' "But Jodi Brewer didn't come home.After filing a missing person report with Metro and enduring several agonizing weeks of waiting and wondering, she learned Aug. 29 that the body of a woman had been discovered in San Bernardino County, Calif.The description of the tattoos on the body matched her daughter's. It was Jodi.


    In this episode, we begin our comprehensive look at the Las Vegas Four and their tragic tale as we explore the possiblity that they might be related to Rex Heuermann.

  • Kash Patel Testifies Before The Senate About Jeffrey Epstein (9/17/25)
    In his opening statement, Patel described what he called the “original sin” of the Epstein investigation as being how Alex Acosta handled the case back in 2006. He criticized the limited search warrants used then and said they did not seize as much investigative material as they should have. Patel argued that significant portions of the case were restrained by the original non-prosecution agreement, which included provisions protecting some documents via court orders and limiting later prosecutorial or investigative access.


    Patel also addressed whether there is credible evidence that Epstein trafficked underage girls to other individuals (i.e. beyond himself). He said there is no credible information that such trafficking to third parties has been proven. He asserted that if he had seen such evidence, he would have pursued those charges. He emphasized that under his administration, the FBI is working to release all “credible information … legally able to do so,” while acknowledging legal limits.

  • Jeffrey Epstein's Estate Gives Congress More Documents (9/17/25)
    The House Oversight Committee has received hundreds of pages of new material from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate following congressional subpoenas. These include Epstein’s will, the infamous 2008 non-prosecution agreement, entries from his longtime address book, and a heavily redacted “birthday book” that Ghislaine Maxwell compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003. The book contained messages, photos, and drawings from associates, sparking scrutiny because of one note signed “Donald” alongside a crude sketch, which Democrats say points to Donald Trump. Trump has flatly denied it, calling the note fake and politically motivated.

    The estate said it redacted names and identifying details of minors and private individuals to protect victims. It also emphasized it does not possess a so-called “client list” of people involved in Epstein’s sex-trafficking crimes, despite years of speculation. The handover reflects growing congressional pressure, led by Rep. James Comer and the House Oversight Committee, to uncover what Epstein’s records reveal about his finances, associates, and possible political connections.

  • Disregarded, Dismissed, Denied: Epstein Survivors Seek Accountability At The FBI (Part 2) (9/17/25)
    The letter, written on behalf of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network, directly accuses the FBI of failing to properly investigate the scope of Epstein’s crimes. It argues that the Bureau neglected serious allegations for years, showing little urgency or seriousness in pursuing the sex trafficking of hundreds of girls and young women. The authors charge that the FBI’s failures were not just delays but systemic negligence that denied survivors the justice they deserved.


    The letter also highlights that allegations involving child sex abuse materials (CSAM) tied to Epstein and potentially others were either ignored or deliberately minimized. The authors stress that this evidence points to significant additional criminality, yet it was disregarded, dismissed, and effectively denied until very recently. The tone underscores survivors’ frustration with federal authorities, casting the FBI’s handling of Epstein not as oversight but as a profound betrayal of duty.
