  • Sandra Birchmore’s Story: A Decade of Abuse and the Quest for Accountability (4/24/25)
    Sandra Birchmore was a young woman from Stoughton, Massachusetts, who was reportedly groomed and sexually abused by three former police officers from her teenage years until her death in 2021. The alleged abuse began when she was 15 and continued for nearly a decade. Birchmore's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against these officers, the Stoughton Police Department, and the town, accusing them of a scheme of grooming and repeated sexual assaults. The lawsuit claims that one of the officers, Matthew Farwell, was the last person to see her alive and is believed to be the father of her unborn child.   


    In this episode, we begin our deep dive into her tragic story.

  • The Women Who Enabled Jeffrey Epstein (Part 7) (4/23/25)
    Jeffrey Epstein’s “Core Four” referred to the group of women who played key roles in recruiting and managing his trafficking operation. These four women—Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, and Lesley Groff—allegedly helped Epstein lure underage girls into his network, scheduling massages that often turned into abuse. **Ghislaine Maxwell**, the most infamous of the group, acted as Epstein’s chief recruiter and was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking. **Sarah Kellen**, Epstein’s personal assistant, was accused of booking and managing the young girls’ schedules, sometimes coercing them into compliance. **Lesley Groff**, another longtime assistant, was described as Epstein’s "executive secretary," allegedly facilitating travel and communication for the victims. **Adriana Ross**, a former model, reportedly helped remove evidence from Epstein’s properties to avoid law enforcement detection.


    While Maxwell was convicted, Kellen, Groff, and Ross have denied wrongdoing and have not faced criminal charges. Kellen, who changed her name to Sarah Kensington after Epstein’s arrest, claimed she was also a victim, groomed into her role from a young age. Groff's legal team has insisted she was unaware of any abuse, despite being named in multiple lawsuits. Ross, who worked as an Epstein housekeeper and was seen in photographs with Maxwell, has remained largely out of the public eye. Prosecutors described these women as essential to Epstein’s operations, ensuring a steady supply of victims while maintaining his elaborate trafficking network. However, legal scrutiny has largely focused on Maxwell, leaving questions about whether the other three will ever face consequences.

  • Gone But Not Forgotten: The Springfield 3 (4/23/25)
    The case of the Springfield Three is one of the most haunting and enduring unsolved missing persons cases in American history. On the night of June 6, 1992, in Springfield, Missouri, three women—47-year-old Sherrill Levitt, her 19-year-old daughter Suzie Streeter, and Suzie’s friend 18-year-old Stacy McCall—vanished without a trace from Sherrill’s home at 1717 East Delmar Street. The night before, Suzie and Stacy had just graduated from Kickapoo High School. After attending several parties, they returned to Suzie’s house around 2 a.m. intending to sleep over. The plan was to go swimming the next day and meet up with friends.

    The next morning, the house was eerily silent. Friends who arrived to pick up the girls found all three women's personal belongings inside—purses, cars, and even Suzie and Sherrill’s cigarettes were left untouched. The front porch light was broken, the glass swept up by someone, and the front door was unlocked. There were no signs of forced entry, no signs of struggle, and no clear evidence of what had happened. Over the years, multiple theories emerged, including abduction by someone they knew, a botched burglary, or even police cover-up, but none have been proven. A key figure, convicted kidnapper Robert Craig Cox, claimed to know what happened but refused to say more. Despite intense media coverage and thousands of leads, the Springfield Three remain missing, and the case continues to baffle investigators and haunt the city more than three decades later.

  • The Karen Read-Retrial: A Breakdown Of Day Number 1 Of Witness Testimony (4/23/25)
    ​On the first day of Karen Read's retrial, prosecutors and defense attorneys presented starkly contrasting narratives regarding the 2022 death of Boston police officer John O’Keefe. Special prosecutor Hank Brennan opened by asserting that Read confessed at the scene, citing testimony from paramedic Timothy Nuttall, who claimed Read repeatedly said, "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him" upon discovering O’Keefe's body outside a Canton home during a snowstorm. Brennan argued that Read's own words, combined with digital evidence like a drop in O’Keefe’s phone battery temperature, would confirm she struck him with her SUV and left him to die. In contrast, defense attorney Alan Jackson contended that O’Keefe was beaten inside the house and that Read is the victim of a police cover-up. He emphasized inconsistencies in the investigation, including the role of a now-fired state trooper, and argued that Read’s taillight damage was unrelated to O’Keefe's injuries.


    The prosecution's first witnesses included paramedic Timothy Nuttall and Kerry Roberts, a close friend of O’Keefe. Nuttall testified that Read appeared frantic at the scene and admitted to hitting O’Keefe. Roberts recounted receiving a 5 a.m. call from Read, who screamed, "Kerry, Kerry, Kerry, John’s dead," before hanging up. Roberts described Read's panic and confusion during their search for O’Keefe, noting that Read speculated he might have been hit by a snowplow and expressed uncertainty about the previous night's events due to heavy drinking. The day concluded with Roberts still on the stand, expected to continue her testimony the following day
