Ep 32#31 The Missing Jack Family

E

It has been over 30 years since the Jack family went missing from Prince George, British Columbia, CA. And we still have no clue what happened to them, a family of four looking to make a better life for themselves, packs up and leaves in the middle of the night and is never seen again. With the offer of work and childcare, it seemed too good to be true, unfortunately it was...

Ep 31#30 The Cook Family Circus

E

In 2017 the scariest thing imaginable happened to seven members of the same family, they were accused of operating a child sex ring out of their home. Accusations that eventually proved false, but not before tearing the family apart, ruining their lives and reputations, and collectively spending more than 200 days in prison. It's the most devastating situation possible, charged with 127 counts of “monstrous” child sex abuse, including “bizarre blood rituals” and the family, who were labeled “circus freaks” by the media, was behind it all.

Ep 30#29 The Boys On The Tracks

E

In 1987 a story broke that involved everything, the Medelin Cartel, dirty cops, medical examiner with a not so clean record and of course the Clintons, it's not a conspiracy without them. Two boys killed, their bodies run over by a train. Was it to cover up drug trafficking,a cover up for local law enforcement? Or, my personal favorite bullshit theory, a coma set on by smoking too much weed?

Ep 29#28 Christopher Columbus & The Taino People

E

We all know the name and the famous poem well at least the first line right… in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. It goes on to talk about his journey and the hardships he faced but fails to mention, things like his spotted background. The man was a liar, a conman, a murderer, and a fraud! So why is he still celebrated in some cultures? The same reason many other figures still remain, the white washing of American history. Today we talk about the real story of Christopher who he really was and how he became known as the discoverer of The New World.

Ep 28#27 Where Is Flight MH370?

E

When the red eye flight known as MH 370 took off in the early morning hours of March 8 2014 nothing was out of the ordinary. Nothing at all could have pointed to the disaster that was about to happen and how it would ripple throughout the world.The Boeing 777 disappeared off the face of the earth and here we are over 6 years later and still no clue as to what happened. It has been called the ‘greatest aviation mystery since Amelia Earhart.' Its led search teams north into China and south into the wild Indian ocean, and costed over 180 million dollars… Many have theorised terrorist, aliens, or even mass murder/suicide by the pilot. Is this the deadliest mass murder in Aviation history?

E

Skinwalker Ranch aka Sherman Ranch or aka UFO Ranch is a large property in Utah’s Uintah Basin which borders the Ute Indian Reservation. Utes will not enter the area because they believe it is fertile territory for skinwalkers: “The Utes take this very seriously. They believe Skinwalkers are powerful spirits/witches that are here because of a curse that was put on them generations ago by the Navajos. So since the 1950’s the area around Skinwalker Ranch has been a hotbed of UFO activity according to locals....

Ep 25#24 Nxivm...Path to Enlightenment Or Cult?

E

The headlines of NXIVM read like something out of a Dan Brown novel, 'Alleged sex cult under investigation by the FBI', or 'secret sorority branded initials, in weird slave/master ceremony. Or things like 'Former Smallville actress arrested for sex trafficking' and 'Dynasty actress Cathrine Oxenburg pleads for help to rescue daughter from "sex cult". But these are front page headlines in July of 2018, when the leader of a ‘self-described multi-level marketing company’ was arrested and charged with sex trafficing.

Ep 24#23 Garrett Dorsten, Deprogramming & The Unification Church

E

...the young man reveals to the bar owner that he and his siblings have been living in seclusion on a farm nearby for the last nine years. It was like they were part of some cult, cut off from the rest of the world, not allowed to leave, and often physically abused by their captor for having “evil spirits” in them. The most shocking part is who they were being held by...their own father. Also we talk about the church in which Garrett last left, The Unification Church, and Ted Patrick. So we got our bases covered for a good ole "cult debate"!

E

Ryan Singleton was a boy from Atlanta GA that dreamed of growing up and becoming a star. He dreamed of moving to Hollywood and making it big in his passions of acting, writing and filmmaking. He also had a passion for fashion and broke onto the scene as a model. Around 21 years old Ryan moved to Los Angeles California and almost instantly hit the jackpot. Ryan started getting modeling gigs left and right, he was being invited to exclusive events, hanging out with stars, and living out everything he ever dreamed. Then all of a sudden things took an unexpected turn and within the next year Ryan would meet a sudden and horrific death.

Ep 19#18 "Amerithrax" The Anthrax Attacks of 2001

E

In September of 2001 America experienced a series of calculated attacks meant to devastate and scare the American people. Nineteen Islamic extremists, associated with a group known as Al Qaeda, hijacked 4 planes and carried out suicide attacks, killing nearly 3000 people that day. A week later a second wave of attacks had started but this time the murder weapon was a deadly infectious disease...inhalation anthrax, we were facing a new threat, one that had been biologically engineered. In just a few short months 5 people would be dead and 17 others would have their lives changed forever. What was even scarier is, that as the investigation continued, all signs pointed to this attack being executed by one of our own.

In front of the house are acres of cleared farm fields and behind the house is a creek that runs down and makes a swift turn right behind the house and heading away from the house. The creek has thick woods on each bank. The guys look up and down the long driveway, then cross over the road to look along the tree line on the other side. Here they found the boots and hat belonging to Alonzo.....a man rode up on a four wheeler coming from the direction of the house and told them they had to leave.

E

August 9, 2014 Michael Brown Jr. an 18 year unarmed black man was shot to death by a white officer, Darren Wilson in Ferguson Missouri. On Nov. 24 the St. Louis County Prosecutors decided not to indict officer Wilson in the killing of Michael Brown, that night the city broke into chaos. That night tragedy struck the community again, through the only man killed on the night of the Ferguson riots, 20 year old DeAndre Joshua. Then again in September of 2016 a prominent activist named Darren Seals was found under similar circumstances... Were they related, and who committed these murders?

Making a Murderer….but with a woman. Beyond a reasonable doubt… that's what jurors are told when looking at a case, not to decide the defendant is guilty unless it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. So how does a jury convict a woman for 27 years with no physical evidence proving she committed the crime? No witnesses? No motives? How do they know beyond a reasonable doubt that she is guilty? Because the police built a case before they even started an investigation. From the moment detectives arrived at the home of Jamie(Jim) and Sandra Melgar they knew who had killed Jim… Sandra.

Ep 12#11 Marsha "Pay It No Mind" Johnson

E

When Marsha P. Johnson stepped off a bus onto the streets of New York in 1963, just after graduating high school, she had a bag of clothes and $15 to her name. Little did she know that her name would don the side of buildings and statues built to honor her and her activist work in the LGBTQ community today. Marsha’s body was found floating beneath Christopher St. pier at 5:30 p.m. on June 6th 1992, under highly suspicious circumstances... Patreon Page! References: The Death & Life of Marsha P.

Ep 11#10 Making A Murderer (in Israel)

E

On December 6 2006 13 year old Tair Rada walked up the stairs to the girls bathroom with no idea what was waiting for her beyond the stall door. Or did she walk into the bathroom with an odd looking man following close behind? Or was it a "group of friends" that turned out to be more of an angry mob? The truth is in the shadows it seems, and everyone has a flashlight, except the police....

Ep 10#9 The Mysterious Death of Gareth Williams

E

This one is straight out of a James Bond movie. A tangled web of spies, double agents, an unsolvable puzzle and a private life no one should have ever known about. An investigation that was stifled by red tape and barricades by MI6 and secret service. A brilliant life snuffed out and no one can figure out why, was it an attempt to cover up government secrets, a russian assasination, a lover’s quarrel gone wrong? Or possible the worst way to commit suicide? Or just an accident caused by a sexual fascination?

Ep 8#7 Steve Sandlin Killed "In The Line of Duty"

E

Not very many murders go unsolved when a police officer is shot, especially when he is shot inside his own station. On May 7, 1988, 21 year old rookie cop Steve Sandlin was alone in the Mountainair New Mexico police station when his life was brought to an end. The apparent fatal gunshot to Steve's head appeared to have been fired from his own weapon, his police issued .375 magnum which was found laying beside him.

Ep 5#4 The Missing Skelton Brothers

E

In the small town of Morenci, Michigan where everyone knows everyone, Black Friday has a whole new meaning after the Thanksgiving of 2010. On Friday November 26 of 2010 an amber alert was issued for Alexander(7), Andrew(9), and Tanner(5) Skelton. Their Father claimed to have given the children to an underground group who finds safe homes for children in bad situations, but his web of lies has many holes, and we're left not really knowing who to trust in the head-spinner that is, The Missing Skelton Brothers.

Ep 4#3 The Disappearance of Aeryn Gillern

E

Aeryn Gillern disappeared on October 29th, 2007. He was living in Vienna Austria, and working for UNIDO at the time. Police ruled it spontaneous suicide, and they didn't even have a body! The story of Aeryn Gillern is one that, I'm afraid, has a lot of dark secrets and it may takes years before we find the truth if ever, but Aeryn's case should NOT be forgotten. Used documentary "Gone" a film by Gretchen & John Morning- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncP_JYqQUZU Also, http://www.aeryngillern.com/Aeryn_Gillern/Home.html (a website where Aeryn's mother, Kathy has collected everything to do with Aeryn's case) Patreon.com/sandupodcast truecrimeguys.com

Ep 3#2 Evolution...Eugenics...Designer Babies!

E

Well that escalated quickly... When most people hear Eugenics, they think Nazi Germany, but the Nazis were merely the loudest, most extreme of their kind. Eugenics was going on and supported all over the world by the early 1900's. Now we have CRISPR Technology, a technology that could not only edit human DNA, but even recreate extinct species...This episode leans to be more strange than unexplained, but I believe this is information the public needs to be armed with, regardless.
