The Disappearance of Kristin Smart: Part 3 (Re-Release)
5363
Since we covered Kristin's case, a month and a half-long preliminary hearing was held to determine whether the case against Paul and Ruben could proceed. The court heard testimony from more than two dozen witnesses, including law enforcement officials, former friends and acquaintances of both Paul and Kristin, cadaver dog handlers, and soil experts. In September 2021, the judge in the case ruled that there is sufficient evidence to move the case forward to trial. Currently, the trial is set to occur on April 25, 2022. Years passed and the Smart family was no closer to finding answers to what happened to their daughter on May 25, 1996. Once civilians and private detectives stepped in, the family saw some progress. It wasn't until a new sheriff was elected that moves were made. What eventually brought the case close to an end was a breakout podcast that shed new light on the details and unearthed new clues, finally leading to some arrests in the case.

With their daughter missing, her devastated parents relied on law enforcement to conduct a thorough investigation. To their dismay, the case was passed between departments and delayed long enough for key evidence to be lost. Despite sufficient evidence for officers to identify a suspect, they needed his cooperation to close the case. All the suspect was willing to do was plead the fifth. Decades would pass before they got any real answers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Four students leaving a party. A dark street. A short walk back to campus. But for one college freshman, the person trusted to walk her home seems to be the reason she was never seen again. For decades, the case lingered, the investigation changed hands, and it wasn’t until a renewed media scrutiny that arrests were made.

6380
The past two years have made us all feel a little isolated. But this man took the concept of solitude to another level. 27 years in the woods alone, and he never once sought out human contact. He sought out other things, though, - books, food, clothes, tools, and anything else he could get his hands on. Was he an unrepentant criminal or just a guy trying to make it on his own?

Next season, Chasing Immortality will cover Ray Kurzweil, and we can’t wait to chat with Tybee again once that episode is released. Until then, check out Chasing Immortality wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to check out her in-depth episode on FM-2030, available now.

After a trial tainted with racial bias, under-resourced defense attorneys, and a prosecutor hell-bent on securing an execution, the defendant was sentenced to death. But for decades he proclaimed his innocence and begged for his life.

A Legal Explanation and Discussion on SB8
3435
This is a special bonus episode we're releasing at the request of our Patreon subscribers. We normally do "true crime headlines" as part of our weekly bonus content, but when we covered the new Texas abortion ban SB8, our Patreons asked if we could make it public so they could share. Seeing as we live in Texas, we have received a lot of questions lately about SB8. In this segment, we discuss the legal and constitutional questions and violations pertaining to the ban. Of course, our own opinions are thrown in as well. If you're interested, please listen. If this isn't for you, that's ok, too.  We hope this provides a quick overview for you on what the law means, its constitutionality, and where the law is headed going forward as it impacts all people seeking access to reproductive care. We recorded this a few weeks ago when the law first went into effect. Since then, there have been some news updates, movement in litigation challenging SB8, and clarifications in the analysis of the law including who it does and does not apply to. So as we say in the segment, be sure to keep up with the updates on this law as it impacts you and those you love. You can also visit the episode link for updates that have happened since we recorded. All our love, from TX Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 156: Polybius, Recorded Live at Helium Comedy Club - Portland

At the height of the video game craze in the early 80s, this arcade machine was said to take from its players a lot more than quarters. Kids who spent time in front of its screen allegedly suffered headaches, nightmares, amnesia, or worse. Soon men in black suits whisked the cabinets away, leaving behind nothing but a legend. Was this a case of the government using mass media to control the minds of the youth, or can this story be rated M for myth?

But the true story of what happened that night teaches us that even when there are bystanders, there are still plenty of helpers willing to come running when they’re called to aid a beloved friend.

Introducing 'Power: The Maxwells'

Everyone’s heard of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffery Epstein’s alleged partner in crime. But there’s a shadowy figure who hangs above her who you likely don’t know: her father, media tycoon Robert Maxwell.

And his favorite daughter Ghislaine’s theory?: her father was murdered. From Somethin’ Else, makers of ‘The Immaculate Deception’ and ‘Faultline: Bush, Blair & Iraq’, hosted by Investigative journalist Tara Palmeri, ‘Power: The Maxwells’ is a seven part series on the incredible true story of a media mogul whose legacy is still being felt today and the family saga of Ghislaine, a millionaire daddy’s girl who became an accused sex trafficker and her brother, Kevin, who became Britain’s biggest personal bankrupt.

The "official" report from the Warren Commission states Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of President Kennedy. However over 60% of Americans believe otherwise. Could Oswald have been working with the CIA, KGB, or both? Did LBJ's desire to be President cause him to orchestrate the unthinkable? Was the mafia sending a message to Bobby Kennedy by killing his brother? With a laundry list of people that would have benefitted from Kennedy being out of the picture it's difficult to know who really was the mastermind behind the events of November 22, 1963. Of course it was probably Rafael Cruz and a poison shrimp dart. Support Sinisterhood Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
