Criminal Mischief

🎧 Criminal MischiefHollywood — Part One: Origins Every great criminal story starts the same way: Not with the crime… But with the person. 🎭 Who Was “Hollywood”? Before the disguises, before the headlines, before the name Hollywood became synonymous with one of the most unusual bank robbers in Seattle history—there was a past. And it’s stranger than you think. Known for his theatrical style, calculated confidence, and almost surreal approach to robbery, Hollywood didn’t just commit crimes— He performed them. But in Part One, we go back to the beginning. To the early years. To the influences. To the decisions that slowly shaped a life that would eventually blur the line between crime… and spectacle. 🌊 From the Mainland to Hawaii Before Seattle, there was Hawaii. A place that offered reinvention—but also introduced new connections, new influences, and a different kind of mythology. Because this isn’t just a story about a bank robber. It’s a story about identity. About how far someone is willing to go to become something else entirely. 🕰️ A Connection to the Old West? In one of the most unexpected turns, this episode explores a claimed connection to Josiah Scherlock—a name tied to the orbit of Billy the Kid. Whether legend, lineage, or something in between, the association adds a layer of myth to an already unusual story. Because sometimes, the past doesn’t stay buried. Sometimes—it gets rewritten. 🧠 What This Episode Explores Hollywood’s early life and formative influences His time in Hawaii and the identity shift that began there The origins of his theatrical approach to crime The strange and debated connection to Old West outlaw history How myth, performance, and reality begin to blur 🎯 The Takeaway Before the robberies… there was a story. And like all good stories, it didn’t begin with certainty. It began with questions.

Criminal Mischief The Kouri Richins Trial: Grief, Image, and Allegations The case of Kouri Richins first captured national attention for its emotional narrative — a Utah mother who wrote a children’s book about grief to help her young sons cope with the sudden death of their father. Now, as the case moves through the courts, prosecutors are presenting a very different story. In this episode of Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio breaks down the latest developments in the ongoing trial, examining the evidence, the timeline, and the troubling questions surrounding the death of Eric Richins. Because behind the public image of loss and healing, investigators say there may have been something far more calculated at work. Charges Against Kouri Richins • Aggravated murder in connection with the death of her husband, Eric Richins • Attempted aggravated murder related to a prior alleged poisoning attempt • Possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute • Mortgage fraud and financial crimes connected to alleged efforts to secure loans and financial gain Key Allegations Prosecutors Are Presenting • Eric Richins died from a lethal dose of fentanyl • Investigators allege Kouri obtained the drugs through an acquaintance • Evidence suggests a prior incident in which Eric became ill after consuming a drink prepared by Kouri • Financial records indicating significant debt, insurance policies, and real estate pressures • Digital evidence and witness testimony related to the acquisition of fentanyl The defense maintains Kouri’s innocence, and the case remains ongoing as both sides present their arguments. In this episode: • The timeline leading up to Eric Richins’ death • The prosecution’s theory of motive and planning • What investigators say changed the case from tragedy to homicide • The legal strategy unfolding in court • Why this case continues to draw national attention Because sometimes the most powerful stories aren’t the ones told publicly. They’re the ones that emerge when investigators start asking harder questions.

Criminal Mischief The Caneiro Family Murders In December of 2018, a quiet New Jersey community was shaken by a crime so brutal — and so personal — that it seemed almost impossible to understand. At the center of it all was a family. And the man who should have been their closest ally. In this episode of Criminal Mischief, we examine the shocking case of Paul Caneiro, who was ultimately convicted of murdering his brother, sister-in-law, and their two children — and then setting fire to their home in an attempt to destroy the evidence. What began as a suspicious house fire quickly unfolded into something far darker. Investigators discovered that the victims — Keith Caneiro, his wife Jennifer, and their children Jesse and Sophia — had been killed before the fire was set. The case soon led authorities to Keith’s brother, Paul, whose own home had burned earlier that same day under equally suspicious circumstances. As the investigation deepened, a disturbing picture emerged: • Financial disputes and business tensions between the brothers • A staged arson designed to create an alibi • Surveillance footage, digital evidence, and forensic findings that contradicted Paul’s claims • A calculated timeline that prosecutors argued showed planning, motive, and execution The case would culminate in a high-profile trial, where the prosecution laid out a chilling theory: this was not a crime of impulse, but a deliberate act rooted in resentment, financial pressure, and personal grievance. In this episode: • The timeline of December 20, 2018 • The discovery of the victims and the fire scene • How investigators connected the two house fires • The business and financial tensions between the brothers • Key evidence presented at trial • The verdict and sentencing of Paul Caneiro Because sometimes the most devastating crimes don’t come from strangers. They come from inside the family.

🪓 Criminal Mischief — The Unknowable Lizzie Borden A conversation between Carolyn Ossorio and author Cara Robertson One of America’s most infamous murder cases takes center stage this week as Carolyn sits down with historian and author Cara Robertson to revisit the brutal 1892 murders that stunned a quiet New England town — and the trial that turned a woman into a legend. In Fall River, Andrew Borden and his wife Abby Borden were found hacked to death in their home in broad daylight. Suspicion quickly fell on Andrew’s daughter, Lizzie Borden — a respectable Sunday school teacher whose calm demeanor and inconsistent statements only deepened the mystery. Cara Robertson, author of The Trial of Lizzie Borden, brings fresh perspective to a case most people think they know. Drawing from original trial transcripts, letters, and newspaper coverage, she walks Carolyn through the investigation, the media frenzy, and the courtroom drama that captivated the nation. This episode explores: • The social tensions simmering inside the Borden household • Why early forensic methods complicated the case • The role of class, gender, and Victorian expectations in the trial • The evidence that pointed toward Lizzie — and what cast doubt • How the press helped create one of America’s first true crime spectacles Though Lizzie was ultimately acquitted, the verdict didn’t settle public opinion. More than a century later, the question remains: did justice fail, or did the jury see reasonable doubt where others saw guilt? Carolyn and Cara examine how this case helped shape America’s fascination with crime, celebrity defendants, and courtroom drama — themes that still dominate headlines today. Dark, fascinating, and endlessly debated, the Borden murders remain one of the most chilling and perplexing cases in American history. Listen now and decide for yourself: was Lizzie Borden wrongly accused… or did she quite literally get away with murder? 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts — The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf, and more — so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

According to court filings and testimony presented so far, investigators allege Banfield was involved in a scheme that centered around a secret relationship with the couple’s live-in nanny — a woman who, prosecutors claim, became an alleged accomplice in the crime. The case has drawn national attention not only because of the shocking nature of the allegations, but because it involves a man sworn to uphold the law. Carolyn breaks down the prosecution’s theory of the case, the defense’s early arguments, and the disturbing portrait emerging from witness testimony. As the trial continues, jurors are being asked to weigh questions of motive, manipulation, and whether a hidden double life can turn deadly. With explosive courtroom revelations and emotional testimony from people close to the case, this episode examines how power, secrecy, and betrayal can collide in the most devastating ways — and why cases like this captivate and horrify the public in equal measure. In this episode: • Who Brendan Banfield is and the role he held in federal law enforcement • The allegations surrounding the death of his wife • The alleged involvement of the family’s live-in nanny • Key testimony and evidence presented in court so far • What happens next as the trial moves forward Content Warning This episode discusses allegations of homicide and domestic violence. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following The Devil’s Ledger and the entire Evio Creative lineupwherever you get your podcasts — The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf, and more — so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF The Murder of Agent Camarena: The Cartel That Woke the Giant This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn takes listeners inside one of the most brutal and consequential crimes of the modern drug war — the kidnapping, torture, and murder of dedicated DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena Salazar, carried out at the behest of the Guadalajara Cartel in the mid-1980s. Camarena wasn’t just another name on a case file. He was a husband, a father, and an agent who believed that justice mattered — even when the forces he was up against had infinite money, political influence, and a willingness to destroy anyone who stood in their way. But what cartel leaders didn’t anticipate… was what would happen next. Because Camarena’s murder didn’t end with silence. It triggered something rare: a full-force response from the United States government — an investigation so vast and relentless it became one of the DEA’s largest murder hunts in history, stretching across borders and years. What followed was not just law enforcement — it was pursuit. A slow, grinding campaign of pressure, intelligence, and endurance designed to make sure the people responsible could never fully disappear into the world they’d built. For this episode, Carolyn interviews a retired DEA agent who had a front row seat for more than 30 years of the so-called “war on drugs” — offering firsthand insight into how cartel power really functions, what justice looks like when it takes decades, and what it costs the men and women who spend their lives trying to hold the line. This one is heavy. It’s infuriating. And it’s essential listening. Content Warning This episode includes discussion of kidnapping, torture, and murder. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts—The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf and more—so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

Criminal Mischief - The Torso Killer Talks! In this episode of Criminal Mischief, Carolyn returns to one of the most disturbing and long-running cases in modern American criminal history: The Torso Killer, Richard Cottingham. After decades of suspicion, denials, and unanswered questions, Cottingham has now admitted to an additional murder—a development that reignites public scrutiny and raises fresh questions about how many victims may still remain unaccounted for. Carolyn breaks down what this new admission means, why it matters, and what investigators and advocates have been pushing for all along: accountability, documentation, and the truth—no matter how late it comes. To deepen the conversation, Carolyn sits down with serial killer historian and author Peter Vronsky (author of The Golden Age of Serial Killers), one of the voices who has helped keep pressure on law enforcement and institutions to continue revisiting Cottingham’s case. Together, they explore the cultural, institutional, and investigative forces that allowed serial predators like Cottingham to operate—and why these cases so often remain unresolved for decades. This is an episode about belated truth, persistent advocacy, and the chilling reality that, in some cases, the full story may still be unfolding. In This Episode • Carolyn’s latest update on Richard Cottingham, “The Torso Killer” • Cottingham’s recent admission to an additional murder • What this means for the broader list of suspected victims • Interview with historian and author Richard Vronsky (The Golden Age of Serial Killers) • Why ongoing pressure matters—even decades later Listen / Follow Follow Criminal Mischief to stay current on ongoing investigations, case updates, and deep-dive interviews. 🎧 LISTEN & FOLLOW If you’re enjoying the show, make sure you’re following the entire Evio Creative lineup wherever you get your podcasts—The Devil Within, The Ides of April, Criminal Mischief, Taboo Treasures, Finding Me with Josh Wolf and more—so you never miss a new episode. ⭐ RATE & REVIEW Ratings and reviews genuinely help independent shows grow.

Criminal Mischief The Disappearance — and Murder — of Anna Walshe On New Year’s Day, 2023, 39-year-old mother of three Anna Walshe vanished from her Massachusetts home. Her husband said she’d been called away for a sudden work emergency. He said she left early. He said he didn’t know anything more. But as detectives began pulling at loose threads, the story didn’t just unravel — it split wide open. In this episode, we walk through the investigation step by step, guided by the people closest to the case: • police interviews as timelines shift • recorded calls and statements that raise new questions • trial testimony excerpts that reveal what investigators believe happened inside that house We examine the searches, the digital trail, the purchases, and the heartbreaking reality behind the public headlines — while asking the same question investigators asked from the beginning: Where is Anna? And what really happened to her? This episode is unsettling, emotional, and difficult — because it’s about a woman who deserved better, three children left behind, and the ways truth has a way of surfacing… slowly, painfully, and piece by piece.

🎄 A Christmas Interlude: The Velveteen Rabbit Criminal Mischief — Holiday Special This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn steps away from murder, mystery, and mischief — just for a moment — to share something quieter, older, and deeply human. In this special Christmas episode, Carolyn reads The Velveteen Rabbit, the timeless story about love, loss, and what it truly means to become real. Written more than a century ago, the story has endured because it speaks to something we all recognize: that being loved leaves marks, and those marks matter. There is no crime in this episode. No investigation. No suspects. Just a story — read slowly, intentionally, and with care — as a small gift to listeners during the holiday season. Whether you’re listening alone, driving at night, wrapping presents, or sharing the moment with someone you love, this episode is meant to be a pause. A breath. A reminder. Because sometimes, the most meaningful stories aren’t about what breaks us — but about what makes us real. 🎁 Merry Christmas from Criminal Mischief. About the Story The Velveteen Rabbit was written by Margery Williams in 1922 and is now in the public domain. Its message — that love transforms us, even when it hurts — remains as powerful today as ever. About Criminal Mischief Criminal Mischief is a true crime podcast hosted by Carolyn Ossorio, exploring the darker corners of human behavior — and, occasionally, stepping back to reflect on why stories matter in the first place.

🎄 A Christmas Interlude: The Velveteen Rabbit Criminal Mischief — Holiday Special This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn steps away from murder, mystery, and mischief — just for a moment — to share something quieter, older, and deeply human. In this special Christmas episode, Carolyn reads The Velveteen Rabbit, the timeless story about love, loss, and what it truly means to become real. Written more than a century ago, the story has endured because it speaks to something we all recognize: that being loved leaves marks, and those marks matter. There is no crime in this episode. No investigation. No suspects. Just a story — read slowly, intentionally, and with care — as a small gift to listeners during the holiday season. Whether you’re listening alone, driving at night, wrapping presents, or sharing the moment with someone you love, this episode is meant to be a pause. A breath. A reminder. Because sometimes, the most meaningful stories aren’t about what breaks us — but about what makes us real. 🎁 Merry Christmas from Criminal Mischief. About the Story The Velveteen Rabbit was written by Margery Williams in 1922 and is now in the public domain. Its message — that love transforms us, even when it hurts — remains as powerful today as ever. About Criminal Mischief Criminal Mischief is a true crime podcast hosted by Carolyn Ossorio, exploring the darker corners of human behavior — and, occasionally, stepping back to reflect on why stories matter in the first place.

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF The Road Trip: Obsession, Interrogation, and the Performance of Innocence In this episode of Criminal Mischief, we examine one of the most disturbing and media-saturated murder cases of the 21st century: the killing of Travis Alexander by Jodi Arias.This is not a sensational retelling. It is a close, methodical look at how lies are constructed, how obsession curdles into violence, and how performance becomes strategy when the stakes are life and death.Using archival audio from Arias’s police interrogations and her own trial testimony, we trace the evolution of her story—from denial, to intrusion narratives, to self-defense—and examine how her voice, affect, and language shift as evidence tightens around her. 🔍 IN THIS EPISODE • The RelationshipA volatile, secretive relationship built on control, jealousy, and emotional instability—and the warning signs that went ignored. • The Crime SceneThe brutal killing of Travis Alexander in his Arizona home: the physical evidence, the timeline, and what investigators immediately knew did not add up. • The Interrogation (Audio)We hear Jodi Arias in her own words—calm, cooperative, and eerily detached—as detectives methodically dismantle her early lies. • The Camera & the WitnessHow Arias’s demeanor shifts once she understands she is being watched, recorded, and judged—and how performance becomes part of her defense. • The Trial Testimony (Audio)From tearful recollections to graphic claims of self-defense, Arias takes the stand and attempts to reframe the narrative, moment by moment. • Obsession on TrialWhat the case reveals about narcissism, coercive attachment, and the dangerous overlap between intimacy and entitlement .🎧 FEATURED AUDIOThis episode includes archival interrogation footage audio and courtroom testimony excerpts used for educational and journalistic purposes, providing direct insight into the psychology of the accused. ⚖️ WHY THIS CASE STILL MATTERSThe Jodi Arias case isn’t just about guilt—it’s about how stories are told under pressure, how victims can be eclipsed by spectacle, and how true crime coverage itself can unintentionally reward performance.

🔪 CRIMINAL MISCHIEF “A Murder in the Rain x Criminal Mischief Crossover: Stolen Voices of Dole Valley” This week on Criminal Mischief, we’re doing something special. Our friends from the Portland-based true-crime podcast Murder in the Rain have been investigating a case that’s painfully close to home for us: the story at the center of Stolen Voices of Dole Valley, the narrative series Carolyn Ossorio and I created for the Lemonada Network about the crimes of Warren Forrest and the decades-long fight for answers. As part of their two-episode deep dive into the case, Murder in the Rain invited Carolyn to join them for a conversation about: • the missing girls of Dole Valley, • the investigative breakthroughs that have emerged in just the last few months, • the emotional toll of reporting on survivors and families, • and the terrifying scope of Warren Forrest’s crimes — many of which are still unfolding in real time. Today, we’re dropping their episode right into our feed. If you’ve listened to Stolen Voices of Dole Valley, this will give you brand-new angles and context — including updated developments Carolyn and I have never discussed on air. If you’re new to the case, this is an unflinching look at a predator who hid in plain sight for decades, the victims who were denied justice, and the investigators who refused to give up. 🎧 About Murder in the Rain Based in the Pacific Northwest, Murder in the Rain is one of the region’s sharpest and most empathetic investigative true crime shows — combining deep research, survivor-first reporting, and a strong commitment to changing how these cases are discussed. Their two-part series on the Dole Valley case is one of their best. We’re honored to share it here. 🔄 Where to Go From Here When you're done listening: • Check out Murder in the Rain wherever you get your podcasts • Listen to the full Stolen Voices of Dole Valley series on the Lemonada Network • Follow Carolyn Ossorio for updates on the ongoing investigation 💼 SPONSORS 🧥 QUINCE Luxury essentials at affordable prices.

🔥 CRIMINAL MISCHIEF 🕵️‍♂️ AT LAST... The Arrest of Mark Anthony Russ: Justice for Tanya Frazier 🎙️ Guest: Retired Homicide Detective Cloyd Steiger Twenty-six years ago, thirteen-year-old Tanya Frazier vanished on her walk home in Seattle’s Rainier Valley. The next morning, her body was discovered in a wooded ravine, and the case quickly became one of the region’s most agonizing unsolved murders. Leads failed, suspects drifted into dead ends, and the investigation went cold while the community carried the weight of an unanswered crime. Last week, the story changed. Detectives arrested Mark Anthony Russ after modern forensic testing revealed a link that never existed in 1997. This is the kind of break investigators dream of: science catching up to violence. In this episode of Criminal Mischief, Branden Morgan sits down with retired homicide detective Cloyd Steiger. He spent decades inside interrogation rooms and crime scenes, and he understands exactly how cases like Tanya’s finally crack open. Steiger explains the role of forensic innovation, why some killers slip through for so long, and how investigators prepare for the moment a cold case suddenly heats back up. This is the story of a heartbreaking crime, a forensic breakthrough, and a long-awaited step toward justice. 🎧 CALL TO ACTION If this episode hit you, follow Criminal Mischief on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

🔪 Criminal Mischief “Fear & Fire: The Byron Smith Case” Home is supposed to be the one place where the world can’t reach us — where we sleep, breathe, and live without fear. But what happens when that sanctuary is violated? And what happens after the fear curdles into something else? This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio breaks down the chilling case of Byron Smith, a Minnesota homeowner who claimed his house had become a hunting ground for burglars… and that he was simply defending what mattered most. Smith said thieves had robbed him not just of valuables, but of peace — that he lived in constant dread, waiting for another shadow on the stairs, another shattered window, another invasion. So when two intruders entered his basement on Thanksgiving Day, Smith didn’t flee. He didn’t call ⁠911⁠. He waited — armed, recording, and ready. What followed would leave a community divided, a jury horrified, and America asking where the line lies between self-defense and premeditated vengeance. Was this a man pushed to the brink by repeated victimization? Or a calculating killer who used fear as justification for an ambush? The answers — and the tape — tell a story far darker than a simple burglary gone wrong. 🎧 Listen now For reporting that respects victims, examines motive, and never looks away from the truth — even when it’s unsettling. 🕯️ From the Evio Creative Network • The Devil Within — possession, obsession, and true crime in the shadows • The Devil’s Ledger — the strangest story you’ll hear this week • The Ides of April — immersive historical storytelling by candlelight • Taboo Treasures — forbidden history & cultural archaeology Follow: @eviocreative • @thedevilwithinpod 🛠️ Sponsor Support Support the partners who keep investigative storytelling alive: • Quince — elevated essentials without luxury mark-ups 👉 ⁠quince.com/MISCHIEF⁠ for free shipping & 365-day returns • Mint Mobile — premium wireless for just $15/month 👉 ⁠mintmobile.com/DEVILWITHIN⁠ • ExpressVPN — protect your data and browse privately 👉 ⁠expressvpn.com/DEVILWITHIN⁠ for up to four months free • MOOD — legal THC & CBD shipped straight to your door 👉 ⁠mood.com/DEVILWITHIN⁠ for 20% off your first order • Ollie Dog Food — fresh, human-grade nutrition for your dog 👉 ⁠ollie.com/IDES⁠ for 60% off your first box • Monarch — the most powerful personal finance app 👉 ⁠monarch.com/IDES⁠ for 50% off your first year 📢 Rate & Review If you appreciate thoughtful true crime that centers humanity over hype, leave a rating and review — it helps more listeners discover Criminal Mischief.

🔪 Criminal Mischief — Amityville Horror - The Demon Spawn Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network It began with a scream in the dark — and ended as one of the most infamous legends in American true crime. This week on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn Ossorio takes listeners back to Amityville, Long Island, 1974 — where 23-year-old Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family as they slept: his parents, two brothers, and two sisters. The killings shocked the nation. DeFeo claimed he heard voices commanding him to act — whispers from inside the house itself. It was a defense that blurred the line between insanity and the supernatural, and launched one of the longest-running cultural debates in modern crime history: was it possession… or pathology? Then came the Lutz family. Just over a year after the murders, George and Kathy Lutz moved into the DeFeo home — and lasted only 28 days. They claimed to hear the same voices. They described green slime oozing from the walls, crucifixes turning upside down, and a demonic pig with glowing red eyes watching them through the windows. Whether hoax, haunting, or hysteria, the story became legend — spawning books, documentaries, and one of the most successful horror franchises of all time. Carolyn investigates the evidence, the contradictions, and the chilling legacy that still clings to that Dutch Colonial house on Ocean Avenue. 🩸 In This Episode • The night of November 13, 1974 — the DeFeo murders and the evidence that didn’t add up • Ronnie DeFeo’s shifting claims of demonic possession • The Lutz family’s 28-day ordeal and the birth of The Amityville Horror myth • The psychic investigators who made the story famous — and the skeptics who called it a lie • Why Amityville endures as the ultimate intersection of crime, fear, and faith 💀 Credits Hosted by Carolyn Ossorio Produced by Evio Creative Sound design and score by [Engineer Name] Written by Branden Morgan & Carolyn Ossorio For media inquiries or press requests, visit ⁠eviocreative.com⁠ (⁠https://www.eviocreative.com/⁠) 🕯️ Sponsor Shoutouts Support Criminal Mischief and every show in the Evio Creative Podcast Network by visiting our partners: 🧥 Quince — timeless essentials at honest prices.

The Devil's Checkmate On December 16, 2000, 31-year-old Mike Williams vanished while duck hunting on Florida’s Lake Seminole. His truck was found. His boat was found. But Mike… was gone. For years, authorities believed he’d drowned—dragged beneath the surface by alligators. But there was no body. No blood. No real evidence of a struggle. What emerged instead was a story of greed, betrayal, and a staged disappearance that unraveled into one of Florida’s strangest and most calculated murders. Criminal Mischief digs into how an insurance plot became a cold-blooded crime—and how, 17 years later, the truth finally surfaced from the swamp. 🎧 Listen to Criminal Mischief wherever you get your podcasts.

🎙️ Criminal Mischief The Back Staircase: The Death of Kathleen Peterson A fall, a secret, and a story that refused to stay buried. In this episode of Criminal Mischief, host Carolyn Ossorio revisits one of the most haunting and polarizing cases in modern true crime — the death of Kathleen Peterson, and the man who claimed it was an accident: her husband, Michael Peterson. When Kathleen’s body was found at the bottom of a staircase in their North Carolina mansion in December of 2001, the scene was catastrophic — blood spattered across the walls, head injuries so severe investigators couldn’t believe they came from a fall. What followed would become one of the most debated cases in American criminal history. Michael Peterson’s version of events changed under scrutiny. First an accident, then a mystery, then something stranger. A novelist, a veteran, and a husband with more secrets than anyone expected. And when prosecutors unearthed the death of another woman — one connected to Peterson years earlier — the story twisted into something almost unbelievable. Through trial transcripts, forensic reports, and archived interviews, Criminal Mischief examines the inconsistencies, the media frenzy, and the theories that still divide both experts and audiences more than two decades later. Was Kathleen’s death the result of a tragic fall? Or was it — as some investigators believe — murder disguised as misfortune? 🕯️ Listen, Follow, and Join the Investigation Follow Criminal Mischief for new episodes every week wherever you get your podcasts.

🎙️ CRIMINAL MISCHIEF“Race, Media, and Missing Persons” — with Retired FBI Special Agent Bobby Chacon In this week’s episode of Criminal Mischief, host Carolyn Ossorio sits down with retired FBI Special Agent Bobby Chacon — a veteran investigator whose decades of experience span organized crime, counterterrorism, and some of the Bureau’s most challenging missing-persons cases. Together, they revisit two haunting investigations: the disappearances of Joyce Chiang and Chandra Levy — two young women whose cases, though eerily similar, were handled very differently by both law enforcement and the media. Through candid reflection and hard-earned perspective, Bobby and Carolyn explore how race, class, and public perception shape the urgency — and sometimes the outcome — of national investigations. Why did one case dominate headlines while the other faded into silence? What do these stories reveal about who gets justice, and who gets ignored? This is a conversation about crime and consequence — but also about compassion, bias, and the uncomfortable truths that linger long after the cameras move on. 💬 Featuring FBI insights into the Chiang and Levy investigations How media bias impacts missing persons coverage The human cost of unequal attention Lessons learned from decades in federal law enforcement 💼 Support Our Sponsors 🖤 Quince — Luxury without the markup.Shop high-quality essentials at www.quince.com/mischief for free shipping and 365-day returns. 🐾 Ollie — Fresh, human-grade dog food delivered to your door.Go to www.ollie.com/devilwithin for 60% off your first box. 💰 Monarch Money — The smart way to manage family budgets and creative income.Visit www.monarchmoney.com and use code IDES for 50% off your first year. 📱 Mint Mobile — Premium wireless for people who hate overpaying.Go to www.mintmobile.com and use promo code DEVILWITHIN for unlimited talk and text for just $15 a month. 📣 Connect Criminal Mischief → @criminalmischiefpod The Devil Within → @thedevilwithinpod The Ides of April → @idesofaprilpod Taboo Treasures → @taboo_treasures For press & network updates: www.eviocreative.com | [email protected] 🔥 Criminal Mischief — because the truth doesn’t always make the front page.

Interview with Former FBI Agent Jerri Williams On this episode of Criminal Mischief, host Carolyn Ossorio sits down with Jerri Williams, a former FBI Special Agent, author, and fellow podcaster whose career focused on financial crimes and scams. As one of the few minority women in the Bureau during her tenure, Jerri broke barriers while navigating a world that wasn’t always welcoming. She shares how she investigated complex white-collar cases, exposed elaborate frauds, and what those experiences taught her about greed, deception, and human nature. Now a successful writer and podcast host, Jerri reflects on her time in the Bureau, her transition into storytelling, and how she continues to shine a light on the hidden world of financial crime.
