The Abduction of Frank Sinatra Jr. | MURDERISH Ep. 069

We’re bringing back the case where a lottery winner used his newfound wealth to help his community. His generosity extended not only to his family and friends but to people whom he didn't even know. When this man suddenly couldn’t be located, his family wondered where he had gone. Did he use his lottery winnings to go on a much-needed vacation, exhausted from all the people asking for money? Did he flee to get away from legal trouble he was in? Or, could it be possible that someone made him disappear? Let’s get social: Follow MURDERISH on Instagram & TikTok @MurderishPodcast.

On the early morning of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students settled down in their beds after a night out. Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, and Madison Mogen never awoke to have breakfast together that morning, as expected. Sometime after 4 AM, an intruder entered the house on King Road and murdered all four University of Idaho students, and then vanished. Seven weeks later, authorities arrested 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger. The internet and social media were set ablaze with people feverishly commenting on the case. Meanwhile, the victims’ families are left mourning their tremendous losses and hoping for justice. Here is what we know so far about the suspect and Madison, Kaylee, Xana and Ethan.

How far does family loyalty go? Most of us would do anything to protect the ones we love. But where do we draw the line? Keeping dark secrets is one thing; helping to cover up a serious crime is an entirely different thing. In late June of 1996, Delaware politician Thomas Capano put his youngest brother Gerard in an impossible position. The married father of four stood to lose everything if his affair with the governor’s secretary came to light. Tom decided the only remedy was murder. But he desperately needed Gerard’s help to pull it off. After going to dinner with her secret lover on the evening of June 27, 1996, 30-year-old Anne Marie Fahey would never be seen again. Family members and the public were shocked and horrified to learn the grim details of her tragic death.

A character actor who appeared in over 100 films and TV shows between the early 60s and late 80s, Robert Sorrells made a living playing bit parts in big productions: classics like Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Twilight Zone. No matter the plot, the roles typically ended the same for Sorrells―with his character either firing a bullet, or taking one himself. His early filmography reads like an advertisement for the NRA: Gunfight in Abilene, Mosby’s Marauders, Death of a Gunfighter, The Ride to Hangman’s Tree. In a disturbing case of life imitating art, Sorrells, at the age of 74, gunned down two men at a bar near his home in Simi Valley, California, killing one and badly wounding the other. His victim: A 45-year-old painting contractor and father of one. The shocking July 2004 murder shined a spotlight on the psychology of aging actors, and begged the question: did a lifetime of being around fake movie violence make Sorrells more inclined to commit the real-life kind? Or, were the characters he portrayed all those years on film closer to reality than those around him realized?   Become a MURDERISH | Behind the Mic member and get access to bonus episodes, ad-free episodes and many other exclusive perks.

We're bringing back a very important episode about first grader Gabriel Fernandez. His mother, Pearl Fernandez, was an unfit parent, completely detached from her children …especially Gabriel. Plain and simple, she despised her young son and put him through years of neglect and abuse. Pearl’s boyfriend took part in the abuse …until it escalated to a point at which young Gabriel’s body had sustained all it could take. There were multiple cries for help, multiple red flags and blatant signs, and multiple reports of abuse. Still, young Gabriel lost his life at the hands of people who should have loved and protected him. Gabriel was murdered, and it could have been prevented. This is part of Gabriel’s story.
