    The Craigslist Killer
    Aug 4 2026
    The Craigslist Killer, the 2011 Lifetime film based on the true story of Philip Markoff, a Boston University medical student whose seemingly perfect life concealed a shocking double life. On the surface, Markoff appeared to have everything going for him, a promising medical career, a loving fiancée, and a bright future. But behind closed doors, investigators uncovered a series of violent crimes connected to women he contacted through Craigslist's "erotic services" ads.

  • Cries Unheard: The Donna Yaklich Story

    Cries Unheard: The Donna Yaklich Story
    Jul 28 2026
    Cries Unheard: The Donna Yaklich Story (also released as Victim of Rage) is a 1994 made-for-TV film based on the real-life case of Donna Yaklich, a Colorado woman convicted of hiring two men to kill her abusive husband, police officer Dennis Yaklich. While the film portrays Donna as a survivor of years of severe domestic violence with no safe way to escape, the true story remains the subject of debate. Supporters believe the movie accurately reflects the abuse she endured, while Dennis Yaklich's family has strongly disputed that portrayal, arguing the film presents only Donna's perspective. In this episode, we examine the real case, the evidence, the controversies, and the question that continues to divide people decades later: how closely did the movie reflect the truth?

  • Dead Man's Wire: Tony Kiritsis

    Dead Man's Wire: Tony Kiritsis
    Jul 21 2026
    In this episode, we unravel the shocking true story of Tony Kiritsis and the 1977 hostage crisis that became known as the "Dead Man's Wire" case. Armed with a sawed-off shotgun connected to a homemade dead man's wire, Kiritsis held mortgage executive Richard Hall hostage for more than 60 hours, turning a personal grievance into one of the most bizarre standoffs in American history. We examine the events that led to the kidnapping, the intense negotiations that played out live on television, and the legal battle that followed. We also compare how the story has been portrayed in the film Dead Man's Wire and documentary Dead Man's Line, exploring what the adaptation gets right, what they change, and how Hollywood interpreted one of America's strangest true crime cases.
