| Diet Coke: Silent Killer or Crispy Treat | 29 oct. 2026 | 00:52:03 | |
Welcome back for a Throwback Thursday episode! This week, we're reaching back into the Season 2 archives to revisit a topic that's near and dear to our hearts… Diet Coke. Is it slowly poisoning us? Is aspartame actually dangerous? Is your daily Diet Coke habit a one-way ticket to an early grave? Or has the internet once again taken a perfectly good beverage and turned it into a public health emergency? In this episode, we're digging into the science and separating the actual evidence from the fearmongering. Because while Diet Coke might not qualify as a health food, some of the claims about it are a little more dramatic than the research supports. Theme song by INDA | |||

| Big Pharma: Are We Patients or Paychecks? | 22 oct. 2026 | 01:25:52 | |
This week, in our throwback episode the 3SchemeQueens and their expert guest Dr Andrew, PharmD, put Big Pharma under the microscope. Are drug companies hiding cures to protect their profits? Are we being prescribed medications we don't actually need? And just how much influence does Big Pharma have over doctors, researchers, and the FDA? From allegations of suppressed treatments and manipulated clinical trials to the very real scandals that have fueled public distrust, we're separating documented misconduct from speculation and asking the million-dollar question: Is Big Pharma in the business of making us better, or just making money?

| A Killer Coke: The Thallium Poisoning of Peggy Carr | 20 oct. 2026 | 00:42:00 | |
**Discussion begins at 5:25** In 1988, Peggy Carr and several members of her family began experiencing bizarre symptoms, including excruciating pain, muscle weakness, and hair loss. As doctors struggled to identify the cause, Peggy's condition rapidly deteriorated. The culprit? Thallium, a rare and deadly poison. But how did an entire family become exposed, and who would want them dead? This week, we're investigate the terrifying case of Peggy Carr, the medical clues that cracked the mystery, and the eccentric, Mensa-member neighbor with a suspicious interest in chemistry and murder mysteries. We're breaking down the toxicology, the undercover investigation, and the shocking discovery that turned an ordinary soft drink into a deadly weapon. Theme song by INDA | |||

**Discussion begins at 2:00** On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, and more than 60 years later, the JFK assassination remains one of the most debated mysteries in American history. In this Throwback Thursday episode, we dive into the assassination of JFK, Lee Harvey Oswald, the Warren Commission, the single-bullet theory, the Zapruder film, and some of the most enduring JFK conspiracy theories. With our healthcare backgrounds, we're also taking a closer look at the medical and forensic evidence surrounding JFK's death. What do we know about Kennedy's gunshot wounds? What happened at Parkland Hospital? What did the JFK autopsy reveal? And how have the medical evidence, autopsy photographs, X-rays, bullet trajectories, and chain of evidence contributed to decades of debate about the assassination? Theme song by INDA | |||

**Discussion begins at 2:50** In 1994, Gloria Ramirez arrived at Riverside General Hospital in California critically ill. During her treatment, 23 healthcare workers suddenly developed symptoms including dizziness, nausea, difficulty breathing, muscle spasms, and fainting. Even stranger, some reported unusual odors and mysterious substances associated with Ramirez’s body. As more people became sick, the emergency department was evacuated and the case quickly became one of the most unusual medical mysteries in modern history. Theme song by INDA | |||
| Folie a Deux: The Eriksson Twins | 01 oct. 2026 | 01:22:52 | |
**Discussion begins at 2:40** Have you ever wondered if madness could be contagious? We usually think of pathogens and viruses spreading from person to person, but what about a delusion? This week, we are opening up the vault to bring you a re-release of one of the most mind-bending medical mysteries we've ever covered. We are diving back into the harrowing and truly bizarre case of the Eriksson twins. Theme song by INDA | |||
| The Dancing Plague: Mass Hysteria or Medical Mystery | 29 sept. 2026 | 00:39:48 | |
**Discussion begins at 5:00** In 1518, in the city of Strasbourg, something bizarre began happening. One woman reportedly started dancing in the street, and within days, dozens of other people had joined her. Soon, the dancing had spread through the city, with some people reportedly dancing for days on end. Some collapsed from exhaustion. Others may have died. So what was happening to these people? This week we’re talking about the Dancing Plague of 1518. We’re digging into what actually happened, what theories have been proposed, and whether modern medicine can help us make sense of an epidemic that left an entire city dancing.

| Plum Island: The Mystery of Lyme Disease | 22 sept. 2026 | 00:31:19 | |
**Discussion begins at 2:23** Located just off the coast of Long Island, New York, Plum Island has been home to a government animal disease research facility for decades. Officially established to study infectious diseases affecting livestock, the island has also become the center of decades of speculation about biological warfare, government experiments, biological weapons research, and accidental releases of dangerous pathogens. This week, we're re-releasing one of our first episodes, in which we explore the documented history of Plum Island and examine the conspiracy theories that have made this mysterious island famous. One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Plum Island is it's alleged connection to Lyme disease. Lyme disease first emerged as a recognized illness in Lyme, Connecticut, just miles from Plum Island, leading to theories that government researchers may have experimented with Borrelia bacteria and ticks as biological weapons. Is Plum Island connected to Lyme disease, or is the geographic coincidence simply too tempting to ignore? Theme song by INDA | |||
| Lindsay Clancy: Murder or Madness? | 25 août 2026 | 01:42:42 | |
**Discussion begins at 4:45** There are some cases where the facts are so horrifying that we instinctively want the answer to be simple. Someone did something terrible, they knew what they were doing, and they should be held responsible. But what happens when the person accused of doing something unimaginable may also have been profoundly, catastrophically mentally ill? That is the question at the center of the Lindsay Clancy trial. In January of 2023, three siblings, five-year-old Cora, three-year-old Dawson, and eight-month-old Callan were killed inside their home in Duxbury, Massachusetts. Their mother, Lindsay Clancy, survived an apparent suicide attempt and was ultimately charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Now, more than three years later, a jury is being asked to decide if Lindsay did it, and what was going in her mind at the time. Today we’re going to breakdown the possibilities. The first is the prosecution's version: Lindsay did it, she knew exactly what she was doing, and she is criminally responsible. The evidence, they argue, points to planning, decision-making, and deliberate actions before and after the children's deaths. The second is the defense's argument: Lindsay did it but she was experiencing a devastating psychiatric illness, including postpartum psychosis, and was not criminally responsible for her actions. Her attorneys have pointed to her deteriorating mental health, her psychiatric treatment, medications, and what they say was a failure to recognize just how seriously ill she had become. And then there is the third possibility being argued by armchair detectives following the case… What if Lindsay didn't do it at all? This week, we’ll look at the evidence that supports each possibility, the evidence that challenges each one, and what the law actually requires, because this isn't just a story about a mother accused of killing her children. It's a case about mental illness, postpartum psychosis, criminal responsibility, the limits of psychiatric medicine, and the justice system. So buckle up foil heads, because this one is complicated.

| The Flannan Isles Lighthouse Mystery: The Keepers Who Vanished | 02 juin 2026 | 00:39:23 | |
**Discussion begins at 5:05** On a remote cluster of windswept islands off the coast of Scotland, three lighthouse keepers vanished without a trace. No bodies. No signs of a struggle. Just an abandoned lighthouse, a stopped clock, and a mystery that has haunted the sea for more than a century. This week, we’re heading to the Flannan Isles Lighthouse, where in December of 1900, keepers James Ducat, Thomas Marshall, and Donald MacArthur disappeared from the isolated island of Eilean Mòr. When the relief ship finally arrived after days of storms, something felt wrong immediately. The lighthouse was dark. The dock was empty. One set of oilskins remained hanging inside, suggesting one man had gone out into the storm without proper gear. The logbook entries described violent winds and terrified behavior… even though weather reports later suggested the seas had been calm. So what really happened on the Flannan Isles? Was it a rogue wave powerful enough to sweep all three men into the Atlantic? A tragic accident compounded by brutal weather? Or did something stranger happen on that isolated rock in the North Atlantic? Over the years, theories have ranged from sea monsters and ghost ships to paranormal forces, secret espionage, and even the island’s supposed curse. This week, we’re diving into one of the most chilling unsolved disappearances in maritime history, the Flannan Isles Lighthouse Mystery. Theme song by INDA | |||
| Encephalitis Lethargica: The Mysterious Pandemic That's Been Forgotten | 05 mai 2026 | 00:50:02 | |
Between 1918 and 1920, the Spanish Flu killed 50 million people worldwide. This pandemic, arrived on the heels of WW1, and between the two events, nearly 5% of the world’s population was killed. But there was another pandemic occurring, one that is less well known and less frequently talked about, that remains a mystery to this day. In the winter of 1916 in Europe, people were seeking medical attention for general malaise. At first, it looked like a mild case of the flu with fever, headaches, and fatigue. Many would recover, but some would begin exhibiting tremors and many slowed down mentally and physically, until they were completely immobile despite being conscious and alive. The symptoms presented on a spectrum, but patients sometimes experienced lethargy or even obtundation, paralysis of eye muscles, rigid muscles, frozen posture, loss of speech, and sudden immobility. In some cases, the progression was overnight. In others, it took weeks to months. Doctors called it Encephalitis Lethargica, but no one really understood it. Some patients slept for days. Others stayed awake, trapped inside bodies that no longer moved. Hundreds of thousands of people lost the ability to walk and talk, and then in 1928 new cases just stopped appearing. By then, however, there had been more than 1 million cases, and half of those had ended in death. Those that did survive, often developed a post-encephalitic Parkinsonism leaving them rigid, slow, and unable to move normally for the rest of their lives. And then, just as mysteriously as it appeared… it vanished. So what was this disease? A viral epidemic? A post-war complication? Something we still don’t fully understand? This week, we’re diving into one of the most unsettling medical mysteries in modern history, Encephalitis Lethargica, also known as the Sleeping Sickness. Theme song by INDA | |||
| The Vanishing Minds: The Mysterious Deaths and Disappearances of US Scientists | 14 avr. 2026 | 01:04:39 | |
**Discussion begins at 5:35** What if the brightest minds in science were being erased? Over the past few years, a quiet pattern has begun to emerge. Names that once lived in research papers, conference panels, and classified briefings are now showing up somewhere else entirely: missing persons reports, obituaries, and unanswered questions. Today we’re talking about nine scientists: Note: After recording another scientist was added to the list of mysterious deaths and disappearances. Steven Garcia, 48, was a property custodian for the Kansas City National Security Campus, the facility that manufactures more than 80% of all the non-nuclear components used to build the military’s nuclear weapons. On August 28, 2025 he left his home on foot with a hand gun and no other personal belongings. He has not been seen since. Theme song by INDA | |||
| Alpine Divorce: When a Hike Becomes a Homicide | 07 avr. 2026 | 00:48:07 | |
**Discussion begins at 5:25** Alpine Divorce: Ending a relationship by murdering one’s significant other during a mountain trip and passing it off as an accident, or more specifically, abandoning a partner in a remote outdoor setting. The phrase originates from an 1893 short story by Scottish-Canadian author Robert Barr, titled An Alpine Divorce. In the grim tale, an unhappy husband plots to kill his wife during a trip to the Swiss Alps, only for her to turn the tables on him, having already framed him for her murder before leaping herself. Several high profile cases over the last few years have led to a viral trend of social media users telling their own stories of “Alpine Divorce”. These tales of domestic abuse involve one partner endangering the other in the wilderness – with the victim either being left in a perilous situation, or merely abandoned without consideration for their safety and well-being. Today we’re going to discuss some of the most high profile cases. Theme song by INDA | |||
| The Pollock Twins: Back from the Dead | 24 mars 2026 | 00:37:11 | |
**Discussion begins at 4:30** In the late 1950s, a quiet family in the English town of Hexham experienced a tragedy that would forever change their lives, and eventually become one of the most famous alleged cases of reincarnation in modern history. In 1957, two young sisters, Joanna and Jacqueline Pollock, were killed in a car accident while walking to church with a friend. Their parents, devastated by the loss, tried to rebuild their lives while carrying unimaginable grief. But about a year later, something extraordinary happened. Their mother gave birth to twin girls: Jennifer and Gillian. Almost immediately, their father became convinced that the twins were somehow the rebirth of the daughters he had lost. As the girls grew older, they began displaying strange similarities to their deceased sisters, including shared personality traits, specific fears, and even what appeared to be memories of places and events they had never experienced. One twin was even born with birthmarks that closely resembled scars that Jacqueline had before her death. The story would go on to attract the attention of researchers studying reincarnation, including psychiatrist Ian Stevenson, who documented cases of children claiming memories of past lives around the world. But the Pollock Sisters case raises a difficult question: were these eerie similarities evidence of something beyond our understanding… or could they be explained by grief, suggestion, and coincidence?

| Clone Wars: The Celebrities They Say Were Replaced | 10 mars 2026 | 00:51:51 | |
**Discussion begins at 6:40** This week, we’re diving into one of the stranger corners of celebrity conspiracy theories: cloning. From Selena Gomez to Jim Carrey, some claim that these stars have been replaced by replicas engineered in secret labs to take over their lives, their fame, and even their art. Could Hollywood really be hiding a shadowy cloning program? Is it science run amok? A Hollywood PR nightmare? Or is this just another viral rumor blown out of proportion? Over the next hour, we’ll trace the origins of these theories, examine the so-called “evidence,” and separate fact from fiction in the wild world of celebrity clones. Theme song by INDA | |||
| The Epstein Files Part 2: A Deeper Dive into the Files and Conspiracies | 24 févr. 2026 | 00:51:52 | |
**Discussion begins at 2:30** We're jumping into part two of our deep dive into the Epstein Files. Last week, we unpacked the timeline, his suspicious death, pizzagate connections, and allegations of cannibalism. But this week, we’re pulling the lens back even further. How did Epstein actually build his fortune? Where did the money come from, and how did he leverage it into influence at the highest levels of politics, academia, business, and royalty? We’ll also examine who is currently facing charges or civil consequences in connection with the document releases and clarify what the files say about other high-profile names that appear in them. And finally, we’re diving into the viral rumors. From coded language theories to sensational claims circulating online, we’ll investigate what’s substantiated, what’s misinterpreted, and what has no evidence behind it. Join us as we follow the money, examine the fallout, and separate fact from fiction. Let’s get into it. Theme song by INDA | |||
| The Epstein Files Part 1: His Mysterious Death, Pizzagate, and Gabriela Rico Jimenez | 17 févr. 2026 | 01:07:35 | |
**Discussion begins at 4:15** In this episode, we lay the groundwork on who Jeffrey Epstein was and how he rose from relative obscurity to the center of one of the most disturbing criminal cases of the modern era. We walk through the criminal charges he faced in 2008, the controversial plea deal that allowed him to avoid federal prosecution, and the renewed scrutiny that led to his 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. From there, we unpack the final days of Epstein’s life and the official ruling of suicide, while acknowledging why the circumstances of his death continue to fuel conspiracy theories. We’ll also examine how Epstein’s case became entangled with Pizzagate, and discuss the claims and speculation surrounding a woman named Gabriela Rico Jimenez. We'll discuss why Epstein remains a lightning rod in the public imagination years after his death, and start a deep dive into the newly released Epstein Files. Theme song by INDA | |||
| Did John Wilkes Booth Escape and Assume a False Identity? | 27 janv. 2026 | 01:02:47 | |
**Discussion begins at 5:50** On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. Over the next 12 days he traveled 73 miles through the forests and swamps heading toward Virginia. On April 26, the government said Booth was dead after being shot in a burning barn by a Union soldier and buried without much fanfare. Case closed… right? Not so fast. This week, we’re diving into the conspiracy theories that claim America’s most infamous assassin didn’t die in 1865 at all. From questionable body identifications and missing diary pages to secret government cover-ups and alleged sightings years later, Booth’s death has been debated for over a century. Did Booth really perish at Garrett’s Farm, or did he pull off the original true-crime vanishing act? We’re breaking down the facts, the rumors, and the wild theories. Get ready foil-heads, because history may be lying to us again. Theme song by INDA | |||
| The Black Dahlia Murder: What Happened to Elizabeth Short? | 13 janv. 2026 | 01:03:58 | |
**Discussion begins at 6:30** Today we’re discussing one of the most infamous unsolved murders in American history. In 1947, a young mother and her child out for a walk, stumbled upon the mutilated body of a young female. She was quickly identified as 22 year old Elizabeth Short, nicknamed the Black Dahlia by regulars at a drug store she frequented - a reference to her dark hair and clothing and the Noir film the Blue Dahlia. The brutality of the crime, as well as the frenzied media coverage has led to a persistent fascination eve now, nearly 80 years later. We’ll talk about Elizabeth’s life leading up to that January morning, the discovery that shocked the city, the chaotic LAPD investigation that followed, and some of the most well-known theories.

| Selene Delgado Lopez and Joanna Lopez: Real Missing Women or Non-Existent? | 06 janv. 2026 | 00:36:45 | |
**Discussion begins at 7:30** In the late 1990s, Mexican Channel 5 would cut into cartoons and late night shows, with a solemn voice and grainy black and white photos of missing people who had vanished without a trace. One of these missing women was Selene Delgado, Lopez. But decades later, nobody can agree on whether she ever existed. Was Selene a real 18 year old who disappeared in Mexico City and whose case slipped through the cracks? Or was she a media fabrication? After all these years there are no official records, not family testimony, and no confirmed sightings. And she's not the only one... In the 1980s, Chicago residents remember seeing a grainy black and white photo of another missing woman named Joanna Lopez that would air after the nightly news had wrapped. But when the internet tried to solve the mystery decades later, things only got stranger. Records were scarce. Police files were practically nonexistent. Was Joanna ever truly reported missing? Was she part of a PSA campaign gone wrong? A broadcasting error? Or something else entirely? This wee we are diving deep into these cases and attempting to get to the bottom of the truth about these two women. Theme song by INDA | |||
| RE-EDIT and RE-RELEASE: Diddy Super Episode | 16 déc. 2025 | 02:07:42 | |

| Abby Hernandez: Victim or Conspirator? | 11 nov. 2025 | 00:50:20 | |
**Discussion beings 9:07** On October 9, 2013, 14 year old Abigail Hernandez disappeared while walking home from school in North Conway, NH – a small town with a population of about 2000. The school librarian reported seeing her walking in the direction of her home at 2:30 PM, and she was not seen again for nine months. While she was missing, her mom never gave up the search for her – convinced that she was alive and being held against her will. Her father on the other hand, claimed that she had likely just runaway. The only sign of life was a letter mailed to her mother, which was received nearly a month after the disappearance – letting her know that she was alive and apologizing for leaving. This letter, as well as the lack of crime in NH, led to the accepted belief amongst the locals that Abby had likely conspired to willingly disappear. The public was outspoken with their disdain for the young girl, and what they perceived to be a drain on finances and resources spent looking for her. It was known that she likely couldn’t have survived on her own - did she have an older boyfriend that she had run away with? Theories had circulated around the school that she had fled due to a teen pregnancy. Conspiracy theories only got worse 9 months later when she walked through the front door of the home she shared with her mom and sister. She was wearing the same clothing she had been wearing when she disappeared. She refused to tell anyone where she had been or what had happened to her. So what really happened in those missing 9 months? Was Abby the victim of a terrible crime? Or the perpetrator of a horrendous conspiracy? Theme song by INDA | |||
| Jack the Ripper: The Conspiracy Theories | 21 oct. 2025 | 01:01:30 | |
**Discussion beings at 5:10** In the fall of 1888, London was a booming metropolis under economic strain due to the massive influx up immigrants and refugees. Whitechapel, an area in the East End, was an overcrowded neighborhood with poor employment and dire economic conditions. As a result, many women were forced into casual prostitution to survive - and it was many of these women who fell victim to an unknown serial killer lurking in the dark, shadowed alleyways. The killer was named "Jack the Ripper", either a self proclaimed nickname or one coined by the press, but beyond that alias the killer's identity remains a secret even 130 years later. For more than a century, whispers have persisted that the Ripper murders were not the work of a lone madman, but part of a deeper conspiracy. Theories have pointed to royal cover-ups, Masonic plots, and a police force accused of burying the truth. This week, as we approach the end of True Crimeber - we are discussing one last British mystery - the story of Jack the Ripper and the conspiracy theories related to his…or her… potential identity.

| The Disappearance of Lord Lucan | 14 oct. 2025 | 00:55:10 | |
**Discussion begins at 6:30** Lord Lucan, the 7th Earl of Lucan, vanished in 1974 under circumstances so strange they have fueled decades of conspiracy theories. On November 7, his family’s nanny, Sandra Rivett, was brutally murdered, and his estranged wife, Veronica, survived a violent attack. While police named Lucan as the prime suspect, he disappeared without a trace that night, leaving behind a cryptic note to his mother and hints that he might have planned his escape. Some theorists suggest that Lucan didn’t just flee—he orchestrated a perfect vanishing act, using his wealth, aristocratic connections, and meticulous planning to vanish from the public eye and start a new life abroad. The mythos of Lord Lucan continues to grow because there is no closure. No body, no confirmed sightings, no final confession—just endless speculation. Lucan was declared legally dead in 1999, 25 years after his disappearance, though conspiracy theories about his survival persist. Theme song by INDA | |||
| What Happened to the Sodder Children? | 07 oct. 2025 | 00:57:50 | |
**Discussion begins at 5:00** On Christmas Eve, 1945, tragedy struck the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia. A fire destroyed the house — but five of the children were never found. Authorities ruled the blaze accidental, yet no bones, remains, or evidence of the children were ever recovered. For decades, George and Jennie Sodder believed their kids hadn’t perished in the flames at all. Were the Sodder children kidnapped? Was it a Mafia cover-up tied to George’s outspoken views? Or was this just one of history’s strangest true crime coincidences? In this episode, we dive deep into the mysterious disappearance of the Sodder Children: the cut phone lines, the disabled trucks, the suspicious “wrong number” call, and the mysterious photo mailed to the family two decades later. This unsolved case has haunted West Virginia for nearly 80 years — and it remains one of the most chilling Christmas true crime stories ever told. Theme song by INDA | |||
| Boston Marathon Bombing and the Waltham Murders | 30 sept. 2025 | 00:55:49 | |
**Discussion begins at 4:28** The Boston Marathon bombing occurred on April 15, 2013, during the city’s 117th annual marathon. This is a world famous race, attracting participants from across the globe, and thousands of people had gathered near the finish line on Boylston Street near Copley Square. Suddenly, two homemade pressure cooker bombs exploded within 4 seconds of each other, just 210 yards apart. Tragically, three people were killed that day, and more than 260 others were injured. In this episode, we look into the Boston Marathon bombing and the unsolved Waltham triple homicide. We will explore who Tamerlan Tsarnaev was and discuss theories about his potential role in the murder, his radicalization and time on the Terrorist Watch List, and whether he may have been an FBI informant. From anti-Semitic motives to robbery theories, and the shocking connections that link these events to one of the largest acts of terrorism on US soil... we're about to tell you a story that you will shock you.

| A Look into the Viral Tik Tok Allegations Against Helen Keller | 16 sept. 2025 | 00:37:03 | |
**Discussion begins at 4:15** Helen Keller was born June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama, to a prominent family. While the family was well off, much of their wealth was lost during the Civil War, and they lived rather modestly. At 19 months, Helen became ill with a high fever due to what many presume to be Scarlet Fever, resulting in loss of eyesight and hearing. As she grew up, she was frustrated and unruly, prompting her parents to write to the Perkins School for the Blind to request help. The school sent Anne Sullivan, a 20 year old graduate of the school who suffered serious vision problems. Anne removed Helen from the home for a few weeks and the two lived in a cottage where Anne taught Helen to communicate with her hands. Over the next several years, Helen learned to read and write. Anne Sullivan remained Helen’s companion until her death, even helping her to earn a BA in 1904 from Radcliffe College, the female sister school of Harvard. Helen Keller went on to write over a dozen books, including an autobiography which went on to be adapted into The Miracle Worker. She also campaigned for social causes like women’s suffrage, labor rights, world peace, and was also a vocal advocate for those with disabilities. She was also a pacifist, a supporter of female birth control, and…. a eugenics supporter! She was a member of the Socialist Party and a founding member of the ACLU. S he worked for the American Foundation for the Blind for over 40 years, influencing policy and public perceptions of disability worldwide, and traveled to more than 35 countries to promote education and accessibility. She died in 1961 after suffering a series of strokes, and was celebrated posthumously… Until 2020 when hashtags like #helenkellerisfake and #helenkellerisoverparty started trending on Tik Tok. Conspiracy theorists claimed that Helen Keller either didn’t exist, wasn’t truly deaf and blind, or didn’t accomplish the things she’s famous for—from writing books to earning a degree or speaking publicly. Some videos even suggested she “faked” her disabilities or that her teacher Anne Sullivan was pulling the strings behind the scenes. What started out as satire quickly came to be believed as truth by many. But what is the truth? Theme song by INDA | |||
| Rafael Pacheco Pérez: The Real Story of the Pilot Possessed by Aliens | 12 sept. 2025 | 00:34:50 | |
**Discussion begins at 2:22** On June 21, 1976, Rafael Pacheco Pérez, a student pilot at the Escuela de Aviación México, embarked on a solo training flight from Mexico City to Chimalhuacán. Shortly after takeoff, he vanished from radar, and an hour later, reappeared over Acapulco—approximately three hours in the opposite direction of his intended destination. The aircraft, designed for short flights, was low on fuel and not equipped for such a journey. During communication with air traffic control, Pacheco's voice reportedly became altered, delivering a message from an entity claiming to be using him as a "microphone" to transmit a message. The message conveyed that the beings were from the same universe, observing humanity, and warned of an impending global catastrophe if humanity did not change. Upon landing, Pacheco appeared disoriented and was taken for a medical evaluation. Despite being tested for intoxication, he was found to be in perfect health, with no drugs or alcohol in his system. But what is the truth behind one of Mexico's most popular aviation mysteries? Was the pilot truly possessed by extraterrestrial creatures trying to save humanity, and if so were they able to break the time space continuum? Was he suffering from a Menty-B? Was it all a hoax perpetrated by the pilot? Or is this just another urban legend to debunk? Theme song by INDA | |||

| The Death of the Original Superman, George Reeves | 01 juil. 2025 | 00:47:00 | |
**Discussion begins at 5:00** Before there was Henry Cavill, Tom Welling, Dean Cain, or Christopher Reeve… there was the OG Superman… George Reeves was an actor in the 1930s, who’s burgeoning career stalled when he enlisted in WW2. After the war he struggled to find parts, and in need of money, he begrudgingly accepted the role of Superman in the television series Adventures of Superman. The show was a hit, but led to type casting. As a result, he had difficulty being taken seriously for other acting opportunities. Off-screen, Reeves' personal life was tumultuous. He had a long-term affair with Toni Mannix, the wife of MGM executive Eddie Mannix, and later became engaged to a younger woman, Leonore Lemmon. These overlapping relationships, combined with career frustrations and financial stress, ultimately led to him being found dead of a a gunshot wound to the head in his Beverly Hills home on June 16, 1959 – a home his former girlfriend Toni had bought him. Was it suicide, as is listed as the official cause of death? The death was never adequately investigated, and there were discrepancies in the scene. Witnesses in the house gave conflicting stories, there were delays in calling the police, and multiple bullet holes were reportedly found in the room. Additionally, Reeves’ fingerprints were not found on the gun, and some friends claimed he was in good spirits in the days leading up to his death. Who had motive? Was it his fiancée - annoyed by his behavior that night and frustrated that he wasn't committed to getting married? Was it his ex, Toni Mannix, who was heartbroken and had been stalking the engaged couple to the point that he had attempted to obtain a restraining order? Or was it her husband, Eddie Mannix who was to blame? After all, he had mob and police connections as the VP of MGM, and was tired of hearing his wife obsess over George. Theme song by INDA | |||
| Dyatlov Pass | 24 juin 2025 | 00:49:50 | |
**Discussion begins at 3:40** In January 1959, nine experienced Soviet hikers from the Ural Polytechnic Institute set off on a ski trek in the northern Ural Mountains, aiming to reach Mount Otorten. The group, led by Igor Dyatlov, consisted of eight men and two women, almost all in their early to mid-20s. These experienced hikers were supposed to send a telegram at each checkpoint they reached. The first telegram came, the second did not. A search party went looking for them and on February 26, 1959, their abandoned campsite was discovered. Inside the tents were neatly folded clothing, with gear left behind (ie., there may be one shoe in the tent but the other was. Missing). The tent was slashed open from the inside. Bodies were found in various locations, in various states of dress. The bodies had swapped clothing (for example, male clothing on the females and vice versa). Six of the hikers cause of death was hypothermia, and the other 3 were killed d/t chest and head trauma. What makes this even odder, is that he clothing revealed hgh levels of radiation. Locals and soldiers reported strange orange lights in the night sky around this time. And the decomposing bodies had orange tinted skin and grey hair. The Soviet authorities initially ruled that the hikers died due to an "unknown compelling force". The investigation was quickly closed, and the files were classified. But what really happened? Was it an avalanche, recent investigtions by the Russian government would have you believe? Was the military somehow involved? Could it have been a Yeti? Or was there something more paranormal at play? Theme song by INDA | |||
| The Century Long Debate Regarding Fluoridation: Medical Breakthrough or Government Conspiracy? | 17 juin 2025 | 00:52:29 | |
**Discussion begins at 6:00** In 1901, Frederick McKay was a dentist who opened a practice in Colorado Springs and found that his patients all seemed to have stained/mottled teeth, but no cavities. Why was this? He determined, after nearly 30 years and with the help of other researchers, that they all had what is now called fluorosis – and it was the result of high levels of fluoride in the Colorado Springs drinking water. He reported his findings to the dental community, and people started comparing fluoride levels and dental hygiene in various geographical areas. In the 1930s, a dentist with the US Public Health Service, sought to determine how high the level of fluoride in the water could be before it caused mottling, in hopes they could remove fluoride from water sources where there were higher levels. During his study, he learned that low doses had a protective effect. It was reported that when natural fluoride concentration was greater than 1 part per million, the incidence of cavities was seen to be reduced by some 50-65% and the World Health Organization began to recommend supplemental fluoride where levels were low.

| The Mysterious Death of Marilyn Monroe | 03 juin 2025 | 01:01:52 | |
**Discussion begins at 4:15** Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson, 99 years ago this week. Rising to fame in the 1950s, she captivated audiences with her beauty, charm, and vulnerability. She starred in numerous successful films, including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Seven Year Itch, and Some Like It Hot, solidifying her status as a Hollywood legend. Despite her glamorous public image, Norma Jeane battled with personal struggles including mental health issues, substance abuse, and a string of troubled relationships. On August 5, 1962, Norma Jeane was found dead in her Los Angeles home at the age of 36. The official cause of death was listed as a probable suicide due to an overdose of barbiturates. A bottle of sleeping pills was found near her bed, and she had reportedly been dealing with depression in the weeks leading up to her death. However, her death has remained shrouded in mystery and controversy. Numerous inconsistencies in the timeline of her final hours, the delay in contacting authorities, and the disappearance of personal documents and records have fueled speculation that her death may not have been a simple suicide. Some believe that foul play was involved, citing her alleged affairs with high-profile political figures such as President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy as a possible motive for a cover-up. Other theories range from involvement by the CIA or FBI to suggestions that Norma was silenced due to knowledge of state secrets. Whether her death was a tragic accident, a suicide, or something more sinister, it remains one of Hollywood’s most tragic mysteries. Theme song by INDA | |||

| Ourang Medan: Ghost Ship | 01 mai 2025 | 00:33:08 | |
**Discussion begins at 4:00** Today, we are going to talk about the tale of the SS Ourang Medan. This ghost ship was reportedly discovered adrift in the Strait of Malacca in the late 1940s. According to the story, various ships received a chilling distress message from the Ourang Medan stating that the entire crew was dead, followed by a final cryptic transmission: "I die." When rescuers eventually located the vessel, they found the crew's corpses scattered across the deck, their faces frozen in expressions of terror, with no visible signs of injury. Efforts to tow the ship back to port reportedly failed. Before the vessel could be salvaged or investigated further, it allegedly exploded and sank without a trace. The cause of the crew's deaths and the subsequent destruction of the ship remain unexplained, fueling speculation. Theories have ranged from carbon monoxide poisoning and chemical weapons to paranormal phenomena or alien encounters. Today we take a deep dive into the legend of the SS Ourang Medan, one of the most eerie and enigmatic maritime mysteries ever told. Theme song by INDA | |||

| The Assassination of Robert F Kennedy | 22 avr. 2025 | 00:52:16 | |
Robert F. Kennedy, younger brother to John F Kennedy, former Attorney General and New York Senator, and a leading Democratic presidential candidate, was assassinated on June 5, 1968. He was at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California, shortly after delivering a victory speech following his win in the California primary. The official story is that Kennedy was shot multiple times by Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian man. Sirhan was quickly apprehended at the scene and later claimed that he was angry over Kennedy's pro-Israel stance, particularly his support for Israel in the wake of the Six-Day War in 1967. Kennedy was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries the following day, on June 6, 1968. Although Sirhan Sirhan was arrested and convicted of the murder, many conspiracy theories have since emerged surrounding the assassination. Some people believe that there may have been a second gunman or that Sirhan's actions were part of a larger plot. These theories have been fueled by the fact that Sirhan’s gun was only a small-caliber revolver which was inconsistent with the murder weapon, and the physical evidence suggested that the shots that killed Kennedy came from close range—closer than Sirhan was able to stand to the senator at the time. Some argue that there were additional shooters in the pantry, pointing to discrepancies in witness testimony and the trajectory of the bullets. Conspiracy theories point to the possibility of CIA or other government involvement, citing the political climate of the time, with Kennedy being a vocal critic of the Vietnam War and a potential force for change in U.S. politics. Others suggest that powerful figures within the Democratic Party may have had motives for silencing Kennedy as he was gaining momentum in the race for president. Did Sirhan Sirhan act alone? Or was he merely a victim of MK Ultra? Did he actually kill RFK, or was there someone else directly responsible? Theme song by INDA | |||
| John O'Keefe Cause of Death: Karen Read or a Police Conspiracy? | 08 avr. 2025 | 00:58:47 | |
**Discussion begins at 4:30** Let's go back to January 28, 2022 – Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe and his girlfriend, Karen Read, had been fighting. They decided to decompress and meet up in a bar in Canton, Massachusetts, knowing that a blizzard was coming and they were likely going to be snowed in for a few days. Karen met her boyfriend and his buddies at a bar about a mile from John’s home, and then they went across the street to meet up with more of his friends. After last call, the couple was invited to an after party about 2.5 miles away at the home of Boston Police Officer Brian Albert. Karen didn’t enter the house, for reasons we will get to later, but she dropped of John and then drove herself to his home where she allegedly fell asleep on the couch. When Karen awoke around 5AM, she noted that John had not come home and began searching for him with the help of some friends. They found him dead in the snow in front of the Albert residence, eventually leading to the arrest of Karen Read. Prosecutors allege that Karen backed into John with her SUV, and left the scene, causing John O’Keefe to die d/t a basilar skull fracture and hypothermia. She was charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, motor vehicle homicide, and leaving the scene of a deadly crash. The defense, however, claims that John O’Keefe was likely killed by someone inside the house and that the witnesses, many of whom were affiliated with the Boston Police Department, utilized their resources to cover up the true cause of death and frame Karen Read. The trial, lasting more than 2 months, and including more than 600 pieces of evidence and 70 witnesses, ended in a mistrial last July. The foreman told the judge "The divergence in our views are not rooted in a lack of understanding or effort but deeply held convictions that each of us carry, ultimately leading to a point where consensus is unattainable," the jury of six men and six women were hung after 4 days of deliberation. Polling of the jurors revealed that they had all agreed that she was not guilty of murder or leaving the scene but had been confused about how to deliver a partial verdict. She is currently being retried for the same charges. Theme song by INDA | |||
| Is Gabby Petito's Killer Still Out There? | 11 mars 2025 | 00:52:54 | |
**Discussion begins at 5:00** Gabby Petito was born and raised in Blue Point, New York and was the oldest of 7 children in a blended family. While attending Bayport Blue Point High School, she met Brian Laundrie. After graduating in 2017, they reconnected and began dating in 2019. Eventually, they decided to move to Northpoint, Fl to live with Brian's parents. In 2020 they got engaged, and Gabby purchased a Ford Transit Connect - which the couple converted into a sleeper van. On July 2, 2021 they set off from New York on a 4 month roadtrip through national parks. Gabby was hoping to take off as a content creator, and was vlogging the journey on her YouTube and Instagram accounts about #vanlife. On August 12, 2021 police responded to a 911 call in Moab, Utah. The caller had reported seeing a man attacking a girl in a van driving by. The couple was separated and the police felt that Brian was the victim and no charges were pressed. They sent him to a domestic abuse hotel for the night, and she stayed in the van. The couple then proceeded on their trip. On August 25 Gabby made a final post to Instagram and then stopped responding to texts or phone calls. On September 11, Gabby's mother filed a missing persons report in Suffolk County, NY. When police went to the Laundries as part of a wellness check, they learned that Brian had returned home in Gabby’s van, without her. But the Laundries had already hired an attorney and refused to cooperate with the police investigation. The investigation let them to Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, where Gabby's phone was last used. On September 19, 3 weeks after the investigation had begun, her body was found in the park. After the discovery of her body, a search warrant was issued on the Laundrie home, and it is then that we learn Brian Laundrie had disappeared days prior, last seen going on a hike. A month later, on October 20, Brian Laundrie’s parents discover his body in Carlton Reserve, a nature preserve near their home. With him, they find a backpack that contains a journal with a partial confession – Brian claimed that he had killed Gabby, but only because she had a freak accident and was suffering and asked him to put her out of his misery. The coroner eventually ruled Brian Laundrie’s cause of death to be suicide by GSW. However, a number of inconsistencies in the crime scene, and his parent’s unwillingness to assist in the search for Gabby Petito, have led many online to speculate that Brian Laundrie is not actually dead, and that his parents helped him fake his death to cover it up.

| The Mystery of Jennifer Fairgate (Fergate) | 11 févr. 2025 | 00:41:14 | |
**Discussion begins at 2:55** Today we are discussing the mysterious death of a Jane Doe, known under the alias of Jennifer Fairgate. In June 1995, she checked into the Oslo Plaza, a 5 star hotel in Norway. She checked in to the hotel using the alias, paid all cash, and was found dead in her hotel room several days after checking in with a GSW to the head. The cirucmstances were unusual. Her identity remains unknown, authorities were unable to find any records for a person with the name Jennifer Fairgate, and there are no credible traces of her existence before she appeared at the hotel. Her death was ruled a suicide, but the gunshot wound was found to be inconsistent with the normal pattern of a suicide. Despite many years of investigation, Jennifer Fairgate’s identity remains unknown, and the true circumstances of her death have never been solved. The case has become a haunting mystery, with many questions but no answers. The lack of conclusive evidence about her identity or the reasons behind her death makes it one of the most enduring mysteries in Norway. Was it really suicide, as the police ruled? Was she an undercover agent, possibly from a foreign intelligence agency, whose death was meant to remain shrouded in secrecy. Or was she involved in some sort of illegal activity, perhaps as a witness, victim, or even a criminal herself? Theme song by INDA | |||
