Episode 319 - The Witness, The Pilot, and The Murders in Pembroke24 May 202600:49:02

It began with an arrest at an airport. A pilot, still in uniform, was taken into custody without warning. But years earlier in Pembroke, Kentucky, Calvin Phillips, Pam Phillips, and their neighbor Ed Dansereau were found dead under circumstances that never quite made sense. As the investigation unfolded, the truth became harder to pin down, and even after the verdict, some questions refused to go away.

In the early morning hours of July 31st, 2022, an Ohio business park was rocked by the thunderous crash of a car slamming into a brick wall, taking the lives of two passengers.

Shockingly, the driver, 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla, somehow survived. 

But as word of the wreck spread like wildfire over social media, people couldn't help but wonder: if it had really just been an accident or whether there’d been something more sinister at play.

Episode 317 - A History of Death - The Murder of Sharon Randolph10 May 202600:51:28

On a quiet night in Las Vegas, Nevada, a frantic 911 call reported a home invasion that left a woman dead in her own hallway.

At first, it looked like a robbery gone wrong.

But as investigators began to examine the scene, small details started to surface… details that didn’t quite fit the story they had been given.

And as the truth slowly came into focus, it revealed something far more calculated and far more disturbing than anyone expected.

On a quiet property in Applegate, Oregon, a simple meeting turned into something irreversible. What followed was captured on video. Moments that would later be used to tell a very different story than the one first claimed.

Years later, as reality and performance began to blur, one question remained.

Where does the truth end… and the act begin?

Between The Madness - Episode 9 - Deal With The Devil – Scott Kimball & The FBI01 May 202600:50:56

A high speed chase through the California desert. A man who refused to stop. And a secret that should never have existed.

Scott Kimball was trusted. An informant working alongside the FBI. But as people around him began to disappear, the stories he told were just believable enough to keep suspicion away.

For years, it worked.

And by the time investigators began to see the pattern, the truth was already buried.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jonny Grusing joins us to tell the story from the inside.

Episode 315 - It's Happening - The Murder of Matthew Restelli26 Apr 202600:47:55

A ten-hour drive through the night to American Fork, Utah. A message that sounded like forgiveness. An unlocked door waiting at the end of it.

Matthew Restelli believed he was going to bring his family home. Instead, he stepped into something already set in motion. Inside that home, nothing was as it seemed. Not the messages. Not the welcome. Not even the danger.

Episode 314 - Mrs. Baker - The Murder of Fabio Sementilli19 Apr 202600:51:43

On a quiet evening in Woodland Hills, California, a successful husband and father ran a simple errand and unknowingly walked straight into a murder plot already in motion.

What first appeared to be a violent home invasion would unravel into something far more calculated. A secret affair. A staged crime scene. And a conspiracy that would take years to fully expose. Because sometimes, the most dangerous threats aren’t outside the home they are already inside.

Between The Madness - Episode 8 - Where Evil Hides - The Geneva Street Murders15 Apr 202600:21:05

On an October night in Aurora, Colorado, a young mother called 911 after finding something in her home that should not have been there. Her ex-boyfriend’s clothes. His keys. Signs that he may have come back.

What began as a desperate search through a dark house turned into something far worse. By the time police arrived, four people were dead, and the man they believed was responsible had vanished.

Episode 313 - Unholy Matrimony - The Murder of Jonathan Willette12 Apr 202600:47:04

On a summer morning in Henderson, Nevada, a mother woke to the sound of dogs barking in the backyard. At first, it seemed strange. By sunrise, it would become something far worse.

Inside the home, Jonathan Willette was found dead in his bed under circumstances so disturbing that even seasoned investigators were left searching for what was missing as much as what was there.

Between The Madness - Episode 7 - What Happened at the Lake House? - The Murder of Denise Hallowell02 Apr 202600:30:44

On a quiet summer afternoon in Inverness, Florida, a 911 call shattered the stillness of a lakeside home. Inside, Denise Hallowell was found barely alive in her bedroom, the victim of a brutal attack that made no immediate sense.

At first, the story pointed outward toward an unknown intruder. But as investigators began to piece together the timeline, the evidence started pointing somewhere far more unsettling.

Because sometimes, the truth isn’t hidden outside the home.

It’s already inside.
