Kurt Money and Kateline kick off the new era of iLH....TRUE CRIME CLEANUP ON AISLE H!!! For the first ep under the new banner, K$ forces Kate to watch the Graham Greene Canadien true crime classic, EXHIBIT A: SECRETS OF FORENSIC SCIENCE (1997). A 67-year-old woman is murdered in her home in a 1992 Toronto. Was it her husband of 40 years? Or the son-in-law handyman? Or maybe, just maybe...the paperboy?

ALSO...Sexy saxophoning saves lives! Striation-free bullets! Credit score pie charts!! It's all here in the first episode of TRUE CRIME CLEANUP ON AISLE H.

Kurt Money and Kateline celebrate a killer season of I'm Lester Holt with 5 categories of awards to hand out as well mourning those we lost with a touching In Memoriam that will SHOCK you so be sure to listen to the end!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the murder of Christine Schultz by her ex-husband, Elfred Schultz, and how in 1982 Laurie Bembenek got convicted for it and Elfred Schultz lived a full and happy life as a free man. The backbone of this episode is the "Deadly Divorce" episode of THE PERFECT MURDER, but you know that K$ Read That Book™ and has plenty of additional info to prove to Kateline why THE PERFECT MURDER got it wrong and how the cops involved in the case are the King Dingus Supremes of all Deptuy Dinguses for their handling of the case in 1980 and sticking to their BS story today.

The books read were RUN, BAMBI, RUN by Kris Radish and Laurie's own book, A WOMAN ON TRIAL.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the insane 1989 poisoning case at the heart of the absolute banger of a Forensic Files, "Bitter Potion." K$ is struggling what else to say here because he just wants you to listen because it is wild and he doesn't want to spoil any twists.

This was originally on our Patreon last year and we are posting it here on the main feed to give the Holtheads a taste of what our new format will be when season 3 premieres in TWO WEEKS!!! Next week will be one more Patreon repeat and then Season 3 will start under its new name, AISLE H. What about the Lesty's, you ask? Eh, Kurt's not really feeling it this year. Not sure he's going to do it. Kinda sad at Dateline still and bitter. Kinda like the potion in this episode! Nice.

In March of 1960, Sharon Kinne says her two-year-old daughter "accidentally" shot her husband while he was cleaning his gun. Months later, the wife of Sharon's former side piece is found dead...by Sharon's current side piece, with her in the car. Four trials (and years) later, another murder happens in Mexico. Is Sharon Kinne a serial killer, a misunderstood girl with stars in her eyes, or perhaps the luckiest murderer of all time? Kurt Money and Kateline break down this fascinating case and talk about the THRILLING update to the Sharon Kinne saga that happened in January of 2025.

The basis for their conversation is the A Crime To Remember episode, "Lucky Be A Lady," as well as an Unsolved Mysteries on the case and a frankly offensive book that K$ read about the case.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss that one time in New Jersey in 1999 a guy found a barrel under his house and it totally had a body in it...and so much more! Their sources today are an episode of Buried in the Backyard and OF COURSE, Forensic Files!!!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the 2019 of Dateline, “Stone-Cold,” about the murder of Nick Morelos in Tucson, AZ, hosted by the one and only, Josh Mankiewicz. Unlike most victims of Dateline episodes, Nick wasn’t exacted beloved at his workplace. But it might have been because he was such a ladies man? NOTE: Listen to the end of the episode for life-altering news about the future of I’m Lester Holt.  

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the Season 22 episode, "The Stranger," hosted by Keith Morri—Excuse me, I mean, it's a Keith Morrison mystery!!!! Brittany Tavar and her two dogs went missing in July 2010 in St. Augustine, Florida. Is she just a woman out and about? Was it the lady who she choked and hit with a wine bottle? Or was it the drifter roomie who lied about being able to burn DVDs and probably about whether he trimmed his nails regularly? Better listen to find out!

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the 2015 murder of Kelley Clayton orchestrated by her husband Tom Clayton, former hockey star, who was nearby playing poker for his alibi. The two breakdown Dateline's coverage of the case in their episode, "The House in the Woods," hosted by Andrea Canning.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the AC hosted Dateline episode about the Karen Read verdict that aired on Thursday. K$ and KL agree on how John O'Keefe died but disagree THE MOST THEY HAVE EVER DISAGREED ON ANYTHING on the outcome of the trial. Holtheads, this is the DAMPEST episode in the history of the show. Enjoy!!

NOTE: We covered this case last October when Dateline originally aired it as, "The Night of the Nor'easter." If you are unfamiliar with this case, go check out that episode now (#54) to get the usual breakdown from us. This episode is a little different from our usual in that it is mostly our reaction to the verdict and new evidence presented in the second trial.
