Mega Edition: The Great Basin Serial Killer (10/3/25)

The fight over the Epstein files has erupted into a raw political brawl that exposes Washington’s deep fractures. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene lit the fuse with a fiery post claiming she’s “not suicidal” and warning that “foreign governments or powerful people” might silence her for pushing to release Epstein’s secrets. Sen. Ted Cruz quickly branded her “crazy,” accusing her of antisemitic undertones, while Greene hit back, calling his charge “disgusting” and painting him as beholden to donors. Their feud became a sideshow to the larger push in Congress, where survivors and lawmakers alike are demanding the full, unredacted release of documents that could reveal just how deep Epstein’s network ran.Meanwhile, Rep. Robert Garcia joined survivor Annie Farmer in Long Beach to call out the DOJ’s “sham” 33,000-page dump of mostly recycled records. Together with bipartisan sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, they are pushing a discharge petition to force a floor vote requiring full disclosure of all unclassified files. Democrats are united, but Republicans remain divided, torn between protecting power and exposing it. For survivors like Farmer, this isn’t politics—it’s about justice, closure, and breaking decades of silence. And for the public, the battle has become a test of whether Washington will finally confront the truth or bury it once more under redactions, excuses, and self-preservation.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Prosecutors are urging a New York federal judge to sentence Sean “Diddy” Combs to at least 11 years and three months (135 months) in prison following his conviction on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act. They contend that Combs has shown no remorse, calling him “unrepentant,” and stress the lasting damage suffered by his victims, including Cassie Ventura, who described ongoing trauma and fears for her safety. Prosecutors are also seeking a $500,000 fine and are pressing the judge to reject Combs’s request for a sentence equal to time served.The sentencing hearing is set for Friday in Manhattan before U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian. While prosecutors are pushing for over a decade in prison, Combs’s defense team has asked for a far lighter sentence — no more than 14 months — pointing to the conditions he’s already endured behind bars and claiming he has made progress toward rehabilitation. Combs has requested to wear civilian clothes in court and plans to personally address the judge, signaling a direct appeal for leniency. The final decision rests with the judge, who has the discretion to follow or depart from either side’s recommendations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prosecutors want Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to get 11 years in prisonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The U.S. Supreme Court is currently weighing whether to hear an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein who is serving a 20-year federal sentence for sex trafficking and related crimes. Maxwell’s legal team argues that her trial was tainted by juror misconduct—specifically pointing to one juror, Scotty David, who failed to disclose his own history as a survivor of sexual abuse during jury selection. Her lawyers claim this omission undermined her right to a fair trial and should warrant either a retrial or a reduced sentence. The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether it will take up the case, but even the possibility has reignited public scrutiny of the Epstein network and the broader failures that allowed it to exist.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Supreme Court meets to discuss Ghislaine Maxwell appeal and other pending casesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Trump’s big play about “ordering” the release of the Amelia Earhart files feels less like leadership and more like trolling the American people. Nobody in 2025 is lying awake at night desperate to know what happened to Earhart, yet here he is, selling it like a major breakthrough while the real files that matter—the Epstein files—stay buried under lock and key. It’s the same old distraction tactic: dangle something shiny and harmless in one hand while hiding the real truth in the other. And the worst part is, he acts like we’re supposed to thank him for it, as if this stunt actually addresses the corruption, cover-ups, and rot everyone can see clear as day.It’s the political equivalent of that line from Pawn Stars, when Rick looks someone in the eye and says, “Best I can do is…” Except here, it’s Trump saying: “Best I can do is Earhart files, fully unredacted.” Meanwhile, the Epstein files—the ones with names, connections, and accountability—are treated like they’re untouchable. It’s not that he can’t release them; it’s that he won’t. And that tells you everything you need to know about where the priorities really are.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ian Maxwell asserted that Andrew had “no option” but to settle the case against Roberts, arguing that the allegations would have caused “immense pain” to the Queen and that Andrew needed to “fold his tent” and do the “best he could” by the Crown. According to Maxwell, the settlement was in part driven by concerns over the monarchy’s reputation and the personal embarrassment and stress the scandal was bringing to the royal family. He also suggested that social pressures — including the #MeToo movement and evolving societal norms about believing victims — made a trial even more perilous.Maxwell’s remarks drew attention to the optics of a royal figure choosing to settle rather than contest the accusations in court. He framed the move as less about guilt or innocence and more about damage control, portraying Andrew’s decision as one made under duress from public, familial, and institutional pressures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein, Glenn Dubin, and Les Wexner’s collective ties to Harvard University expose a deeply unsettling nexus of wealth, influence, and compromised morality within one of the world’s most prestigious academic institutions. Epstein, despite his 2008 conviction, donated millions to Harvard, including $6.5 million to the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, securing not only access to the university’s intellectual elite but also legitimacy that helped launder his reputation. Glenn Dubin, a hedge fund billionaire and close Epstein associate, reinforced these connections through philanthropy and elite social networks, while his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin, had an even more personal history with Epstein, further entwining Harvard’s image with the scandal. Les Wexner, Epstein’s most significant benefactor and a longtime Harvard donor himself, indirectly strengthened Epstein’s foothold within the institution, with his fortune and backing lending weight to Epstein’s cultivated status as a man of ideas and influence. Together, these men leveraged Harvard’s prestige as both a shield and a stage, providing Epstein with credibility in academic and scientific circles that should have been out of reach for a registered sex offender.Harvard’s willingness to accept and defend these relationships, even after Epstein’s criminal record was public, reflects not only institutional greed but also a failure of ethical leadership. While Harvard has since tried to distance itself, the revelations that Epstein maintained an office on campus, retained connections with professors, and used his donations to secure influence long after his conviction speak to a systemic rot. Wexner’s fortune, Dubin’s networks, and Epstein’s money intersected at Harvard in ways that revealed how elite institutions often prioritize financial gain over moral responsibility. Rather than protecting its integrity or safeguarding its reputation, Harvard enabled Epstein’s rehabilitation, offering him cover while he cultivated ties with powerful men like Dubin and Wexner. In doing so, the university not only failed its own values but also became an unwitting accomplice in sustaining the ecosystem that allowed Epstein to thrive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ehud Barak’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein represent one of the most controversial chapters in the former Israeli prime minister’s career, casting a shadow that has persisted for years. Barak was photographed entering Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and was linked to Epstein socially and financially, including through investments in Epstein-related ventures. Though Barak has insisted that his relationship with Epstein was purely professional and that he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal activities, the optics are damning. His repeated presence at Epstein’s properties, along with the fact that he continued associating with Epstein even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor, has fueled deep skepticism about the nature of their connection. Critics argue that such proximity to a convicted sex offender reflects either profound naivety or willful disregard, either of which damages Barak’s credibility.The defense Barak has offered—that he only sought Epstein for networking and business opportunities—rings hollow for many observers, especially given the well-documented patterns of high-profile figures rationalizing their ties to Epstein under the guise of “philanthropy” or “investment.” Barak’s acknowledgment that he stayed overnight at one of Epstein’s residences only compounds suspicion, leaving open troubling questions about what he knew and when. Even if Barak never participated in or witnessed criminal acts, his willingness to engage with Epstein after his status as a sex offender was public knowledge has led many to view the relationship as reckless at best, complicit at worst. For a former head of state, the threshold for ethical conduct is much higher, and his association with Epstein remains an indelible blemish on his legacy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

According to a source who is familiar with the investigation, Bryan Kohberger was stalking his victim(s) for weeks before the actual murders. He also was very, very careful about leaving traces of his DNA whenever he was out in public in Pennsylvania, even going so far as to wear gloves while going out to cover his tracks. The source also says that Kohberger is not stupid and has taken steps to cover his tracks.Let's check it out!(commercial at 6:38)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho suspect stalked victims for WEEKS and wore GLOVES | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
