    Ep. 105 | Dr. Schneeberger: The Lie Beneath the Lab Results

    24.03.2026 | 1 Std. 5 Min.
    Listen ad-free on Patreon
    In 1992, a young woman named Candy arrived at a small-town hospital shaken after a fight with her boyfriend. Emotional and overwhelmed, she had hoped to find comfort from a close friend who worked there—but her friend wasn’t on shift. Concerned about her distress, hospital staff suggested she see a doctor to help calm her down before going home. Candy agreed. Soon, Dr. John Schneeberger — her longtime physician and the man who had delivered her baby — walked into the room.
    Candy expected something simple: perhaps a prescription or a mild sedative. Instead, the doctor administered an injection. Within moments, she says, darkness closed in. When Candy regained consciousness, something felt terribly wrong. She later told investigators she knew, almost immediately, that she had been sexually assaulted. The next morning, she drove two hours to a sexual assault center, where a forensic exam confirmed her fears: semen was found on her clothing and inside her body. Candy reported the assault to police, naming Dr. Schneeberger as the attacker.
    The case seemed straightforward — until science appeared to prove otherwise. Schneeberger willingly provided DNA samples again and again, and each test excluded him as the source. As doubt grew, whispers spread through the community that Candy had fabricated the accusation. Years passed, and the case went cold… until a shocking new allegation against the respected doctor forced investigators to take another look — and revealed a mystery that would leave forensic experts questioning how far someone could go to hide the truth.

    Ep. 104 | The Many Murders of Mighty Mike Malloy

    17.03.2026 | 1 Std. 21 Min.
    Listen ad-free on Patreon
    This is the tale of “Mighty” Mike Malloy — a down-on-his-luck Bronx bar regular who became the world’s most inconvenient murder victim when a group of Prohibition-era "geniuses" formed what they proudly called… the Murder Trust. Their business plan? Take out a life insurance policy on Mike, get him blackout drunk, and quietly collect the payout. Easy. Efficient. Foolproof.
    Except Mike had other plans.
    Poisoned drinks? He chugged them. Rotten oysters soaked in methanol? Bon appétit. Sleeping on a park bench in freezing winter weather? Honestly kind of refreshing. Hit-and-runs, toxic sandwiches, industrial-strength alcoholism — at a certain point you have to wonder if Mike Malloy was powered entirely by spite and questionable whiskey.
    So how did one man survive multiple murder attempts by a team of increasingly desperate criminals… and how far would they ultimately go to finally finish the job?
    Grab a drink — preferably one that isn’t laced with wood alcohol — and join us for the ridiculous, chaotic, and very Irish-American legend of The Many Murders of Mighty Mike Malloy.

    For nearly fifty years, Gisèle Pelicot believed she was living an ordinary life — a long marriage, grown children, grandchildren, and a quiet retirement in the south of France. But in 2020, a police investigation revealed a truth so unimaginable it would shock the world.
    For almost a decade, her husband had been secretly drugging her with powerful sedatives, leaving her unconscious night after night. While she slept, he raped her — and invited dozens of strangers into their home to do the same.
    Doctors had spent years searching for explanations for her memory loss, exhaustion, and mysterious illnesses, never realizing the symptoms were not medical at all. They were evidence of a crime happening in plain sight.
    By the time authorities uncovered the truth, investigators had identified more than seventy men connected to the assaults and documented years of abuse carefully recorded by the man she trusted most, her husband Dominique, to whom she had been married for almost half a century.
    This is a story of betrayal, survival, resilience and the case that forced an entire country to confront the reality of hidden violence. This is the story of a woman refusing to stay silent, a woman determined to make shame change sides.
