Criminal Mischief

In September 2006, 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart was housesitting for relatives in Bannock County, Idaho, when what should have been an ordinary weekend turned into a nightmare. She was brutally murdered by two classmates who had carefully planned the attack, filming themselves before and after the crime in what would later be known as the “Scream murder.” In this episode of Criminal Mischief, we unravel the shocking details of Cassie’s murder, the disturbing psychology of her killers, and the chilling role horror films played in their twisted fantasy. We’ll also examine the investigation that brought them to justice and the lasting impact of this case.

MURDER FOR HIRE: REDUX In 2014, the shocking murder of Florida State law professor Dan Markel stunned the Tallahassee community and sparked one of the most complex criminal investigations in recent memory. At the center of the case: the Adelson family, whose bitter custody battle with Markel became the backdrop for an alleged murder-for-hire plot. Last year, we brought you Murder for Hire, an in-depth look at the Donna Adelson case — a story of family loyalty, secrecy, and the chilling lengths some will go to when desperation turns deadly. Now, we’re bringing that episode back, because there have been stunning new developments. The kind of developments that could reshape everything we thought we knew about this case. We can’t say more just yet, but in our next bonus episode, we’ll break down what’s happened and why it matters. For now, revisit the tangled web of the Adelson family and the murder of Dan Markel — because the next chapter is finally here.

When Albert Einstein died in 1955, the world mourned the loss of a genius who reshaped our understanding of the universe. But in the hours after his death, a shocking theft took place—one that would turn Einstein’s legacy into one of medicine’s most macabre mysteries. Dr. Thomas Harvey, the pathologist who conducted Einstein’s autopsy, secretly removed the physicist’s brain without the family’s consent. What followed was a bizarre odyssey: jars of brain matter stored in beer coolers, cross-country road trips with pieces of Einstein’s mind in the trunk, and decades of scientific—and pseudoscientific—study that blurred the lines between research and obsession. This episode of Criminal Mischief investigates Harvey’s motives, the ethical firestorm that erupted, and the strange journey of Einstein’s brain through labs, private collections, and backroom deals. Was it science in the name of progress—or one of history’s most infamous acts of body snatching? 📩 Share your thoughts: [email protected] 📷 Follow on Instagram: @eviocreative Learn more about your ad choices.
